ChicagO's Racketeers
Washington STAR

A law enforcement official in Chi
cago advances the theory that "the
next rattle of gangland's machine
guns may also be the death rattle of
the gigantic crime syndicate built by
AL Capone.' AS he spoke he had
before him a diagram of the branch
es of this vast empire of crime from
which the jailed gangster derived his
princely income. that income on
which he failed to pay federal taxes,
a lapse that landed him in the peni-
Tertiary.
Here is an illustration of the i'm
potency of the law against organized
crime in certain centers of popula-
ton in this country. The men who
are engaged in these illegal enter
prises, ranging through minor forms
to the most serious, are known per-
sonally, their affiliations are known,
their enmities are known. Yet they
cannot be caught by the law and
punished as they deserve Their
eradication must be left to their own
murderous jealousies and reprisals.
In this present situation in Chicago
1t is expected that Capone's mortal
enemy. George Moran, whose follow
ers Capone's men were instrumental
in removing" in the st. Valentines
day massacre of 1923, will be the one
to set the spark that will cause the
explosion to rid the city finally of

Seventeen auto loads of flowers fol-
lowed him to his last resting place.
This mans ambition was to control
everything in Chicago that moved on
wheels. He was credited with being
the author of % separate rackets.
Everybody seems to have known of
his enterprises. but the hand of the
law did not reach him. It remained
Tor rival gangster to put him on
the spot, TO hire squad of assassins
TO remove him a few days after one

Itself, there might be some cheer for
the law-abiding citizens. But the
very feuds. however decimating they
may be, breed new organizations to
replace those that have been moved
down in the war of rivalry. Mean
while the victims of the rackets, mer-
chants OF every grade and their pa
irons and customers, who must pay
the cost through higher prices, are
the real sufferers from this break
down OF law. No one cares how
many gangsters are murdered, but it
is a matter Of deep public concern
that the vicious system of unchecked
racketeering continues.

John N. Garner

After William G. McAdoo tossed 80
Garner votes into the Roosevelt camp
with them went the vice presidency
for the favorite son of Texas. That
was an irresistible resultant of the
political trading and bickering-a
most usual and natural political
cause and effect.
John N. Garner is colorful fig
ure. Serving in Washington for 30
years or more, he has built up a wide
circle of friends and should be we'll
grounded in Democratic politics and
policies. He got off on the wrong
foot with some Of his associates on
the sales tax and his ideas on bud
get balancing did not meet with the
heartiest approval of his friends.
But, like a true Democrat, he revised
his position somewhat in the inter-
ests Of party solidarity and came out
of the fracas none the worse for the
experience.
McAdoo has always been more or
less a political soldier of fortune.
Under the Wilson regime he rose
from political inconspicuousness to
the seats of the mighty. AS wilson's
son-in-law, he became the crown
prince of the Wilsonian regime.
Then, after the battle in 1924 with
AL Smith, McAdoo changed his resi-
dence to California and practically
retired from politics, appearing in
party councils infrequently. But Nc
Adoo has a good nose for opportun-
ity. He combined forces with the
Hearst alliances and backed Garner,
doubtless figuring that here was a
trading card of more than ordinary
potency. McAdoo guessed right. He
used this trump card effectively.
Garner, as result, is the vice presi-
Dental candidate and McAdoo gets a
place at the Rooseveltian table quite
a long ways above the salt. If he is
beaten in California, where he will
seek seat in the U. S. senate, a
Roosevelt victory should bring recog-
milton to McAdoo. In fact the man.
ayers at Chicago were for the most
part men closely associated with Will
sons political machine.
Speaker Garner probably is firing
of the strenuous job of holding un-
ruly Democrats in line in the lower
house and would rather move to the
quieter precincts Of the U. S. senate.
Compared to being speaker in power
and interest, the vice presidency is
rather an anemic affair.

BOLSHEvIKS ROUTED

On July 5, 1918, Czecho-Slovakian
forces encountered the Bclshevist
army in the region of Irkutsk and
the Russians went down to defeat.
On the same day mixed force OF
Bolsheviki and Austro-German prl-
soners was put to route and the
Czechs marched on to occupy Niko-

river.
British air forces attacked Co.
blenz and Saarbrucken on this day
and scored a complete victory over
Germans, causing much damage in
both cities.
On the western front Germans
staged counter-attacks at Hamel, but
were repulsed. Allied activity in
