SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Modern Interference.

Modern Interference.
We're moving at rapid pace
And hoping still to find
A means Of bringing general grace
To erring human kind.
But lofty purposes we drop
Because we cannot budge-
So frequently we have to stop
And say, Good morning, Judge"
1t may be that a motor car
Fell into ways perverse,
Or some expression got so far
1t went frcm bad to worse.
Bookkeeping poor may call the cop
And make him say, "Aw, Judge!
Your theories fine you've got to stop.
C'mon and meet the Judge"
Even the men of higher thought
Who labor with a will
In some strange trap are often caught
That fate has set with skill.
Each man would speed on missions great
But slowly he must bulge,
Because (says he) he has to wait
And say, Good morning, Judge"

Efficient Rascals.

The country is familiar with Chicago
as the point of origin Of news Of weird
crimes. Indeed, the towns reputation
as the racketeer's paradise Is interna-
tional in scope. When the grizzly Boil
shevik presumes to vilify American
civilization, it is Chicago that he cites.
In Germany, France and Great Brit
ain so-called crook plays invariably have
Chicago for their locale. Even in India
and Japan visiting Americans are asked:
SIS Chicago really as bad as we are
given to think it is?" OF course, the
proper answer is: No. But now and
again a story comes out OF the lake
metropolis that serves to stimulate
and confirm the city's unhappy repu-
tation. Such an incident was that Of
yesterday when eight skillful criminals
perpetrated one of the most sensational
and lucrative robberies in Chicago's his
tory"
An octave Of the most abominably eff
cient and we'll organized gunmen exc
cuted the capture of an entire building,
held ten persons prisoner for fourteen
hours, looted $50 safe deposit boxes and
got away with their swag. THE robbers
were specialists" says the telegraph re-
port. They operated like well trained
actors in a theatrical production. Each
man had his part, and played it per-
fectly. As band, they manifested the
thoroughness of 'acuum cleaner.
When they departed they carried on
approximately million dollars.
1t was plain that they had studied

Labor.

1t was strikingly appropriate that the
Smithsonian Institution should choose
the eve Of Labor day for the announce
ment Of the discovery Of workshop
OF tie Solutrian period in the foothills
of the Pyrenees in Southern France.
A great open-air factory is indicated
by the newly found ruins, and scien-
lists OF the Smithsonian expedition
have suggested date Of approximately
10000 years ago as the probable time
when the site was a thriving COM
munity of highly skilled craftsmen.
Exactly what terminated the life Of
the settlement is matter of theory.
1t is impossible to say to what cause its
abandonment was due. All that may
be said with certainty is that fine
civilization arose in the place; flourished
for while. and died.
Five hundred centuries is long time
In the history Of mankind upon the
earth. But archeologists are conserva-
tive in their guesses, and when they
estimate such vast antiquity for the
Pyrenean workshop they have found
they doubtless are well within the evil
dence in the case.
Even $4,000 years ago men worked
together. Labor necessarily came in
the world with the beginning of mans
existence. Indeed, it must have been
by and through processes Of labor that
man became the dominant species Of
his department of creation. Labor made
him what he was In the Solutrian era;
1t has made him what he is today,
and whatever he may become in the
future will depend upon labor.
1t is work that makes the wheels
of human life 60 around. Without
work, disaster threatens. With work,
progress Is inevitable. Thus, it must
be the business Of human economics
to provide opportunities for labor, and
now as never before industrial states:
nanship in every country Is struggling

toward that end. The part Of the or
ganized trades and crafts is to cooper
ate Fundamentally in every construc-
tive endeavor Humanity has COM
mon destiny, and all must toll together
If the goal of life more abundant and
congenial is ever to be attained.
An idealistic pragmatism is needed.
All the important advances Of the past
have been achieved in that way. 1t
follows that the gains of the present
moment and of centuries to come may
be won by loyal adherence to the same
principle. otherwise some archeologi-
cal expedition of $4,000 years hence
may stumble upon the ruins of our own
great workshops, our temples and Our
homes.

The sensate impression Of an ascending

claims" The fate of rigid royalist
policy Is recalled by the Express, and in
the course Of its review Of the proceed
ings it states: Republican attacks
upon the monarchy were dealt with
more sternly while Alfonso XIII was
on the throne. When a regiment sta
toned at Jaca-near the French from
tier-rose against the government in
December, 1880, Premier Berenguer's s
cabinet showed no mercy to the officers
held responsible. Captains Galan and
Hernandez at once were sent before
firing squads and four comrades were
given life Imprisonment. That stern
ness toward the insurgents strengthened
the opposition to the monarchy, which
fell in April, 1881"
"A mixed civil and military tribunal,
after "a hours of deliberation," says the
Louisville Courier Journal, "had found
the veteran army officer guilty of re-
bellion against the republic and SEN
fenced him to pay with his life. In
strict justice there was nothing else
that the tribunal could do. Sanjurjo
was the leading spirit in the attempted
coup d'etat. With his national repu-
tation, he was the inspiration of the
most extensive monarchist uprising
since the departure of Alfonso. He
and his followers had taken up arms
against the government and for the
brief period of "a hours had intrenched
themselves in the city of Seville. This
was admitted by the defense, with one
slight modification. Sanjurjo. accord
ing to his attorney, was not attempting
to overthrow the republic and restore
the monarchy; he was trying to get
rid of the government in power and to
replace 1t with one of his own liking.
This bubble presented problem to
the judges. Since his coup was aimed,
as it was made to appear, at the Cortes
and the constitutionally constituted
ministry. 1t was a blow at the To-
on the part Of a republican tribunal dill
ficult. But the verdict was not final.
The case was taken promptly to the
court of public opinion"
There is something just little bit
comic,' according to the Gary POST
Tribune, about the complaint, Every
body abandoned me- which was voiced
by Sanjurjo after the revolt which he
tried ito lead in Spain collapsed and
landed him in prison. The leader OF
any revolt has to take his chances; be-
cause in most cases he has no very
definite idea how much popular support
his movement is going to command. 1t
may sweep the country like wildfire, in
which case he becomes great popular
hero and rises to the height of fame
and power; but it may. just as we'll,
fizzle out like wet firecracker, leaving
its leader in a very pronounced jam.
That seems to have happened in Spain,
and the cry, Everybody abandoned
me-, rings out as the perennial wall Of
the revolutionist who misjudged the
popular appeal of his cause"

Mexico's New President.

and without upheaval of any sort has

tional Congress last week, that retire.
ment was in his mind, President Ortiz
Rubio on Saturday actually submitted
his resignation, and Congress, acting
within the constitutional provision en-
acted for such emergencies. yesterday
elected to succeed him Gen. Abelardo
Rodriguez. He is to serve until Decem-
Der l, 1884, completing the six-year
term for which Gen. Alvaro Obregon
was elected in 1928, only to be assassi-
mated before his Inauguration.
Thus there is ushered in another of
those hectic presidential chapters which
have been the story Of Mexico almost
uninterruptedly since the disappearance
of the Diaz dictatorship. At the mo-
ment Of his impending resignation,
President Ortiz Rubio let 1t be under
stood that reasons of health were re-
sponsible and announced his intention
of going to Hot Springs, Ark, for treat
ment. But in farewell statement at
Mexico City, as he was about to trans
fer his authority to President-elect
Rodriguez and leave. for the United
States, the late executive admitted pub
licly that while his physical condition
leaves much to be desired, 1t was the
insuperable political dfficulties he faced
which really determined him to quit
office. He had been unable, Senor Ortiz
Rubio explained, to Coordinate" war
ring groups within the government, and
in order to preserve the fruits won by
the national revolutionary party, which
placed him in the Mexican White House,
he was relinquishing the presidency in
the hope that a new chief executive
would succeed where he had failed.
Though his name has not openly fig
ured in this kaleidoscope development,
one will not be wide of the mark in
assuming that the directing genius be-
hind 1t all was Gen. Plutarco Gales.
The former President remains the coun-
try's invincible strong man, without
whose backing no Mexican ruler is
safely intrenched in his chair. Twice
during President Ortiz Rubio's admin
istration in the past two years Gen.
Gales was summoned from his hacienda
to deal with military situations
which bafiied solution until his iron
hand was applied to them. There is
no prospect that the omnipotent Gales
influence will be any less active under
President Rodriguez than 1t was under
the Ortiz Rubio regime just closed.
In assuming Office, Gen. Rodriguez
was at pains to inform the Mexican
Congress that the perpetuation Of
friendly relations with the United
States is part and parcel Of his nation
al program Of harmony and action.
The new President Is business man
as well as a soldier, and his inaugural
pledge to labor increasingly for the
economic reconstruction and develop
ment Of the nation" has, therefore, spe-
cial significance.
Gen. Rodriguez, at forty-three, enters
upon his high duties in the full prime of
mans estate. The American people,
abidingly desirous of Mexico's prosperity
and her friendship, wishes him well.

may very well be the party nominee for
mayor the next election. He is highly
regarded by many New Yorkers and has
a reputation for good, solid work.
1t is inevitable that the name of Al
fred E. Smith should be brought into
the picture as possible candidate for
mayor Of New York. The former Gov
ernor and former candidate for Presi-
dent might not accept the nomination
knowing AL, might not wish to have
him as the city's chief executive. But
as a successor to Walker, Smith would
certainly be great boon to the people

Shuler piled up a big vote in the

that of the Prohibition party. He will
have q place on the ballot in Novem-

that the evangelist win draw. far more
votes from the Republican fold than
from the Democratic.
If that Is the case, Tubbs will have
a more difficult job winning. But,
while Tubhs will face defections from
dry Republicans, McAdoo will not be
any too strong with Smith Democrats
At this date 1t still continues to look
strongly like Republican senatorial
victory, with Tubbs winner. This is
