Crusaders Open Racket War

NOT least significant OF recent de-
velopments Is the fact that the Cru
saders, originally organized to fight
prohibition, have now conve r e d
themselves into an organization to
make war on racketeers.
Because Of the intimate hook-up
between the prohibition law and the
racketeer, any group which works for
the repeal of prohibition has got to
give some attention to the racketeer
problem.
There is no question but that the
facketeer has done a great deal to
swing public sentiment against pro-
hibition. Justly or otherwise, the 18th
amendment has been blamed for his
existence. But We should be making
a tremendous mistake if we took it
for granted that all We need to do to
abolish him is TO abolish the 18th
amendment
That would help, of course. The
bootleg liquor racket was first of the
1arge-scale rackets, and from the very
start it was the most lucrative. But
no one who reads the daily news
papers and sees overcoming head
lines about the milk racketeers," the
rdry cleaning racketeers," the "labo,
racketeers," the gambling syn
dicates." and so on. can be SO naive
Is to suppose that the booze racket
stands alone.
During the decade that began ir
1920 the words organized crime
took on a very real and definite
meaning. Before that, big cities hae
had scattered groups OF criminals
Operating independently, and they
had had more or less loose groups o.

DECRICKING A CRICK IN THE

An automobile dealer says he ha:

larly interested in what we sait
about it here recently. He Graves t.

II have suffered from this and
eventually landed with an osteo-
path who treated me for it and
told me the cause. He also told
me how to treat myself or
rather to have some one treat
me if l felt it coming on. When
this occurs if one lies flat on
his back and another person
raises the legs and lowers them
straight down again in a straight
line with the body, one leg will
be found somewhat longer than
the other. -"
Which reminds us that careful
measurements Of the length of tn
legs will generally show one j
longer than the other, or the othe
is shorter than 't'other as you pre-
fer, in normal persons. However, lie

pathic colleagues good friend is

Of the hip bone at it's juncture
with the sacrum or base of the
spine-I say junction, not joint.
The amount Of slipping or dis
location of the bones, in cases of
sacro-iliac strain or sprain or
crick in the back, is a question
which has caused much contro-
versy. But the controversy may
be left to the physicians, for
don't believe it makes any prac-
teal difference so far as diagno-

be concerned). "Then if the Sec

~ great event. It was the
first Christmas, since Travers Lor-
rimer's return from France, that
his mother felt she could throw her
self wholeheartedly into the festive
preparations. She had very much
to be thankful for. In the first
place, Lorrimer was decidedly bet
ter; he had not had one OF his
nervous seizures since that Of the
day of Mary Louis arrival. He
continued to eat and to sleep
better and was much in the open
air. He was beginning to laugh
again, to put on weight and to toll
crate the presence of other people
outside Of those Of his household.
Tolerate is the exact, most de-
scriptive word, as he did not, as
yet, genuinely welcome them. But,
as his mother had told him it was
not fair to delight" to keep her
a virtual recluse from her kind, he
accepted the occasional visits from
outsiders, notably those of Jenny
Wynne and her frivolous crowd,
and contented himself in thinking
that it was for Delights sake. The
mere fact that he had begun to
think of the happiness and COM
fort, the pleasure and welfare of
another person besides himself was
4 very excellent sign that he was
becoming more normal, more "hu-
man." as Mary Lou expressed it to
DR.. Mathews.

Fair Deal for SpOrtsmen

If some of the talk now heard in
sportsmen's circles comes to fruition
at the Izaak Walton convention in
Devils Lake, we shall see another ef-
fort to revise the law governing the
operation of the state game and fish
department.
II it comes, it will be no reflection
on the present personnel but an at
tack on system which some sports
men believe is inimical to their in
terests.
The average man who hunts and
fishes would like to see politics en-
tirely eliminated from the operation
of this important state function. He
knows, however, that this is a prac-
tical impossibility and so the aim is
to reduce the political factor as much
as possible, thereby making it cost
him much less than he believes to be
the case at present.
The basis tor this is clear enough.
It is the sportsman who foots the bill
for this department. It is supported
by license fees paid by men who hunt
and fish and it is unfair to these citi-
zens If anything less than the most
for their money is obtained.
Aside from whatever accusations
may result from the appointment OF
inexperienced men to deal with sub
jects which in some respects are
highly technical, there seems no dis
position to criticize the individuals
now in charge Of the game and fish
department. The thing which does
appear Objectionable Is the system
which places on unskilled shoulders
the burden of making and carrying
out game and fish policies. The claim
Is made that when any new man comes
in it takes him some time to learn
the ropes. When any man Is going
out, by reason of a political turnover
he is unwilling to launch any projects
which will continue beyond his term
In office. The result, say the sports
men, is inevitably to promote inef-
ficiency even If the men in office are
generally competent.
II any plan is suggested to take
this department out Of politics it will
be the second in recent years. In
1928 the old game and fish commits
sion idea was abandoned for so-called
one-man control, the argument being
that the former system resulted in
too much overhead expense and in
yolved too many salaries.
The one-man commission idea was
designed to end that complaint
Now, with the one-man system
functioning, the new objection i
raised. II careful analysis of thu
facts show it to be justified there
should be no hesitancy in making 6
new revision. Regardless of polite,
or who Is In office, the sportsmen who
pay the freight are entitled to a fail
deal.

that it was wise for him to accus-

So, more or less ignoring his un.
