Remarkable Work
Credit to Fire Department

The annual report of Fire Chief George Watson for the
last fiscal year shows remarkably gratifying condition

Such decrease most pleasing to the people of Wash

UAL OR A NATION BECOMES
SELF-SATISFIED, THAT MO-
MENT TT BEGINS TO DIE. A
PEOPLE CANNOT DEVELOP
THEIR VIRTUES UNTIL AND
UNLESS THEY FACE THEIR
FAULTS.
And, despite the splendor
that lies in her past and the
beauty that exists in her pres
ent, America has faults. Not
only the small, inevitable faults
which are part of all vigorous
growth, but deep and ugly and
utterly damnable faults, for
which there is no excuse, and
which should not be permitted
to exist another day.
Children Exploited
America loves children; yet
in no other civilized country,
are child laborers as cruelty ex-
plotted as in America. America
honors mothers; yet no other
civilized country has as high a
maternity mortality rate. Amer
lea exists for the working man;
yet, today, over 100000 men
and their helpless dependents
roam this country homeless,
hungry and hopeless.
We cannot truly love Amer
lea; we cannot truly help
America; we cannot truly
BOOST America, unless we
face these conditions and
organize ourselves to cure
them. And the misguided
zealot who tries to camouflage
these conditions and soothe our
national conscience by fulsome
praise is not a patriot. Such
a one as surely betrays this
country as any enemy spy.

Campaign of
Vilification

We wonder just how long
this campaign of vilificatlon
against decent, industrious
men and women who want
work and are denied, is to
continue, and how far the
blunderers will carry it.
The vilest thing that has
been done in America for
generations was done IN
Maine last week. There are
jobless men there as every
where. These men are job
less from no fault of their
own. They want work, beg
for work, demand the right
to work. But there is no
work. And since there is
no work there is no wage
received. And when no
wage is received a man must
starve or accept charity IN
some form.

Stupidity Of
Arrogant Men

This, like the expulsion of
veterans in Washington by
bayonets and tanks, is worse
than a crime-it is a blunder.
In every age and country
in days of dire distress
stupid, arrogant men without
imagination or sense have
made blunders. 1t is not
the infamy of it SO much as
the stupidity that is appal-
ling. We would suggest
that no attempt be made ma
tionally to adopt this method
of disfranchisement - unless
we want serious trouble in
America.
There are 100000 job
less in America today. They
are not bums,' they are
not "paupers" in the ac-
cepted meaning of the word,
they are not "criminals'
and they are not "Reds.
There may be some criminals
among them-just as there
are some criminals among
the highly placed and the
fortunate-but let them be
dealt with as individuals. AS
Floyd Gibbons has said, even
on the showing of Mitchell's
campaign document against
the jobless, there was a
greater per cent of convicted
criminals in the Cabinet Of
Mr.. Harding in which Mr..
Hoover sat than there was
among the veterans in Wash
ington.

Temptation
There are certain tempta-

Police Chief
Refutes Hurley

Mr.. Hoover and his gen
eral staff" of which Ogden
Mills speaks so admiringly,
insist on playing politics
with human misery. Not
only has it sought, through
the Mitchell "report" on the
veterans in Washington, to
picture them as criminal and
Reds, but it appears, as we
suspected, that the ere
port" is a campaign docu-
ment having too little rela-
ton to the truth.
And here is proof enough
for us.
The chief of police in
Washington is General Glass
ford. He owes his place to
the Federal Government. He
can be removed by pressure
from the President. He com
manded the admiration OF
the nation, and won the
respect Of the jobless vet
erans by the tact, the good
sense, and the Justice of his
methods up until the time
Hoover and Pat Hurley
called in the Army, the
bayonets, the torches, and
the tanks.
And h aving read
Mitchell's campaign docu-
ment, Glassford bluntly
says:
Attorney General Mitch
ellis report is at variance
with the facts known to
police.
He thereupon makes a
formal reply which proves
the trickery and deception
of the Adm in S t r a tion
screed.
And that means, in other
words, that the Administra-
ton, having resorted to hys-
terical and extreme methods
that have shocked the judi
cious, seeks to "frame" the
veterans who fought for the
Republic.

@ URELY it is not neces-
~ sary to interpret the
sweeping Democratic victory
in rock-ribbed Maine. What
ever they may say, the
triumph has been a revelation
even to the Democrats.
They had hoped for a sub
stantial reduction in the
normal Republican majority,
but their fondest hopes never
have gone so far as a victory.
The Hoover general staff, y
as Ogden Mills calls the
higher dignitaries Of the
Cabinet, hurried to Maine to
hold the line; and Mr.. Mills
himself made a speech IN
Portland, pitifully made
quate as it was. But all to
no avail. Maine has voted
it's opinion of the Hoover
administration; and at this
moment it appears that two
Republican congressman have
lost their seats to Demo-
Gratis. 1t is as though Mis-
sissippi had gone Republl-
can. Even Mr.. Coolidge's
plea in the Saturday Eve
ming Post for the continual
ton of the regime has gone
unheeded in Maine. The
voters there read it and
understood that the author,
sharing so heavily in the re-
sponsibility for the crash,
was merely making a plea
in self defense.
This will be bad news for
Wall Street.

compelling force in her nature;
the sine qua non of her exist
ence.
When she plays with love,
she is playing with T. N. T.
And when she gets through,
there isn't enough of her left
to make it worth while to pick
up the pieces.
To a man, love may be a
racket; but to a woman it is
the most serious business of
life. BY pretending to play at
love, woman has given man a
glorious opportunity to make
a little game of it-a jolly lit
tie game, in which he takes all
the winnings!

Poor Jobless
Refused Franchise

1t is naturally assumed
that not many Of the job
less men and women are
enamored of the Hoover
Administration. The fear in
Administration circles is that
they will vote their resent
ment. This fear prevailed in
Maine. And so the Hoover
leaders in Maine put their
heads together and conceived
the brilliant notion of going
to the courts and having all
the jobless who had to accept
bread from the local govern
ments or starve pronounced
"paupers," and refused the
right to vote.
