Jobs The Important Thing

As the presidential cam- paign progresses it is becoming more and more evident that the restoration of national prosper lty is what interests the voters most. Prohibition, war debts, tariffs and other matters which interest certain groups are rel atively unimportant to the gen. eral public. What is most de- sired is jobs for the unem- ployed, and whichever party can convince the electorate that it can best lead the way to his goal is the one likely to get he most votes in November.

Preparedness

The complexity of the prob lem of national defense is quite baflling to the mind of the lay man, otherwise the taxpayer. But the experts evidently know all about it; at least we can on- ly hope so.
 Recently a naval expert gave an inkling of the situation when he urged the building of a number of light cruisers, say ing: "The building of light cruisers to cooperate with and protect the destroyers is of very great importance" This is plain enough to be under stood by everybody. But it is not all. We have a lot of sub- marines, which, owing to their rather fragile construction and limited speed, require the pro- tection of destroyers. The de- stroyers, as the expert convinc- ingly states, need the protect ion of light cruisers. Natural ly the light cruisers require in turn the protection of heavy cruisers, while the heavy cruis- CTS must be protected by bat tie ships. Then the battle ships must be protected by

The Smaller Stores

Pessimists have long predict ed the gradual extinction of the small stores and their ab- sorbtion by the national chains. One observer of the trend to- ward the dominance of capital n the retail trade wrote:
 Tt is not pleasant to the
 mall merchant to be dragged behind a counter as a salaried employee; a little spoke in a :;g wheel"
 The assumption was that the ;mall independent merchant could not survive in the face of competition by these large or yanizations.
 But it happens that this dole 'ul prediction is not of recent origin. It was written and published in the Springfield Republican in 1895-37 years ago. At that time the big de- partment stores were just get ing under way. Since then we have seen added menace to the small retailer in the form of mail order houses and chain stores. Yet thousands of small retail stores have survived, many of them becoming big stores.
 Naturally those which have succeeded are the ones which have kept abreast of the times, adopting methods and policies as occasion demanded to meet keener competition present ed by the larger enterprises. And a most important factor which has contributed to the

BY the Associated Press.
LAREDO, Tex, october 6.-An exile
from his native land for the second
time. Archbishop Leopoldo Ruiz y
Flores, aged Catholic prelate, crossed
the international boundary into the
United States early today.
The papal delegate was expelled from
Mexico by order of President Abelardo
Rodriguez as ''pernicious foreigner"
as an outgrowth of his comments on
the recent encyclical by Pope Plus XI
which discussed the situation of the
church in Mexico.
The archbishop arrived in Laredo,
accompanied by two Mexican secret
service men. The archbishop left
Mexico City in a special plane Tues
day. accompanied by representatives Of
the Mexican government but when bad
flying weather was encountered the
plane stopped at Tampico and the
journey to the American border was
continued by train.
He chatted few minutes with a
group of priests and church laymen,
who met him at the international foot
bridge on the American side, shook
hands with the secret service men, and
retired for the night.
While he declined to make formal
statement on his immediate plans, he
said he would report on his exile to
the head of the church.
It was the archbishop's first airplane
ride, and, although he is about 70
years old, he said he experienced no
discomfort. The journey by train was
slow, due to trouble with the locomo-
tive.

In prison garb. Roberts held the
spectators tense as he related how
Maillefert, naked. had been locked in
the sweat box, his arms confined by a
heavy barrel placed over his body and
fastened from the shoulders by boards
and straps
Maillefert was allowed to walk about
the prison camp yard all that day, but
at night "he was placed in the sweat
box, barrel and all" the convict said.
The next day." continued Roberts,
'it was raining. The box was opened
and the barrel was rolled out. Maille-
fert rolled over, but was allowed to
right himself"
That day Maillefert gnaWed his way
out of the barrel. the witness said. and
jumped the fence Roberts did not see
the chase that resulted in the youth S
capture.
The barrel chain. which the State
charges was around the convict's neck
when he died, and heavy stocks placed
on Maillefert's feet were produced in

for liberty after gnawing out OF the
barrel.
The defendants, Solomon Higgin-
botham and George w. Courson,
listened intently as the convict pro-
ceeded with his story.
Il heard Higginbotham say he would
rather kill Maillefert than eat"
Roberts continued.
Both Higginbotham and Courson
were present when Maillefert was
captured and brought back, he said.
Il heard Higginbotham say that
chain amt tight enough" Robert
continued
we checked out for supper early,
and 1 didn't see who put the chain
about Maillefert's neck or the stocks
on his feet"
Il saw Al Weaver Ca truSty), Hlg-
ginbotham and another trusty go into
the sweat box with Maillefert.
Il heard some one ask Capt. Courson

in there.
He said until Christmas-if he amt

The man talking to Courson said,
it wont be long now"

GLASSFORD SEEKS

TO REASSIGN BURKE
Continued From First Page.)

Reichelderfer, who is out of the city, is
not expected to return before Monday.
There is still some doubt at the Dis
trict Building whether the Commission

Burke would still retain his rank Of
inspector If reassigned, but would lose
his status as an assistant superintend-
ent and the $500 a year additional
compensation which accompanies the
title.
Confident of Support.
Gen. Glassford appears quite conf
dent, however. that the Commissioners
will support him in his efforts to re-
organize the police department and
place it on q more efficient basis.
IF I am to remain as major and
superintendent Of police" Gen. Glassford

ing at utmost efficiency.
1.-THE Washington Police Department
is not large. There are slightly more
than 1900 men in service and there is
no reason why it cannot be made to
operate efficiently. BY reorganizing the
force on the basis of efficiency, I think
an improvement will be inevitable.
1T is my intention to place in the
important positions men who are eft1-
cient and who will work with me- OF
course, that will end the old system of
promoting the men who have the largest
number of friends and the most po-
litical influence. Promotions are to be
based on efficiency, not friendship and
influence.
Il have selected Capt. Kelly to COM
mand the Detective Bureau. like Capt.
Kelly and regard him as an efficient
officer. and feel that he will work with
me. But If he don't he will be re-
moved
II regard the Detective Bureau as the
most important branch of the Police
Department. And in that bureau there
must be an efficient officer in command.
Inspector Burke is a good, efficient
ofiicer, but he has failed to cooperate
with me, and I believe the Detective Bu-
reau can be raised to greater standard
of efficiency under another officer. That
Is my reason for recommending the re-
assignment Of Burke."'
