not alone to a happy but to re-

neglected and forgotten, expires I'M

any outside invasion.
We are being attacked within our
own boundaries and lawyers who use
technicalities and manufacturers
who sell criminals guns are as guilty
of treason as a man who sells mill
tary secrets to his country's foe.
In closing, may I state that I
think this silly pickering and feud
existing between Mr.. Holmes and
the sheriff is worse than children
who get mad at each other over
nothing. 1t doesn't make for respect
of the law and before law can be a
good law. it must be backed by
respect.

LAW AND POLITICS

POLITICIANS with cream puff heads and
chocolate spines are responsible for the
shocking Generalization Of Indiana's agencies
Of law enforcement. And needless public is
responsible for the politicians
Prosecutor Herbert Wilson ably pointed out
in Thursdays Times that he has not the neces-
sary funds for paying travelling expenses of
witnesses and policemen. He related how it was
necessary for relatives of Lafayette Jackson
murdered grocer, to pay many Of the ex-
penses Of the prosecution in order to convict
the killers
The indianapolis police force is under
manned It's members are driving ancient au-
tomobiles that can not compete with the
speedy cars of the underworld.
The state police is made up of only fifty
eight men to cover ninety-two counties. Al
Feeney. state public safety head is up against
the humiliating necessity of borrowing and
begging equipment from every possible public
and private source.
Indiana's regular authorities have had to
call upon the national guard and private citi-
zens to aid in cornering eight thugs.
There is something seriously wrong here
something that cuts deeper than the present
situation.
Every one realizes that government costs
must be lowered They can be reduced with
out Gripping law enforcement, which is the
basic and outstanding function Of government.
We have the spectacle of the city police
rafting around the streets in "one boss shays'
and at the same time the park board allow
ing Coffin golf course to remain open at loss.
The same is true of the swimming pools, and
a score of other municipal functions which are
highly desirable, but not indispensable in
times of financial emergency.
Coffin golf course lost $4,000 last year. That
sum would have purchased two swift auto
mobiles which might have been the means Of
catching the convicts the night they visited
Indianapolis.
Politicians are too timid to tell the public
frankly that if it wants an up-to-date police
department it can not at the same time have
some of the other expensive luxuries which
were added to government during the boom
years They are in deadly fear of the golfers
vote, the swimmers vote, the social service ex-
tremistS vote.
So the politicians have temporized, tried to
string along with every minority interest I'M
til they have made law and order subservient
to ignorant and brutal criminals.
Politics has also entered the law enforce
ment situation from the patronage angle. Po-
lice positions are handed out as political
plurhs. 1t is time for a general overhauling of
the whole problem.
Put every policeman under civil service
whether he is serving the state or city. APP
point him by competitive examination.
Build up the state police to at least 100 men
with equipment as good as that of the Grim
inals they must combat.
Provide prosecutors with adequate expense
accounts to prepare cases and convict GRIM
inalS.
Get the funds to do this by rigid economies
IN nonessential governmental functions.
Take law enforcement out of politics and
politics out of law enforcement.

law these days. There is entirely too
much pampering of criminals and
no-accounts. 1t must stop or we will
have change and the first change
will be among lawyers.
I also believe the police should be
modernly equipped with modern
weapons Of defense in order to cope
with modern weapons used by gang
SterS.
We spent millions in the World
war on something that was none of
our business and yet our own back

In Miss Vests productions the
prostitute always gets the better Of
the nice girl, which is enough to
give both of them pause. Looking
on at the sweeping victories of vice
over virtue, the complete rout of
righteousness and the conqueSts Of
corruption, one finds it easy to
understand the dilemma OF the mod
ern mother, who is attempting to
scare her daughter With warnings
about the dangers of the primrose
path.
Also the anachronism of the West
endeavor is apparent. Macs curves
may be on straight, but they do not
fit into her plays. They are dis
tinctly out Of place in her settings.
For in the days whose fashions in
dress and allure Miss West is reviv-
ing. virtue always triumphed in both

NEW YORK. Oct. 2s.-The taxi

going to vote. told him La Guar
dia'
He expressed a certain doubt as
to the wisdom of this decision, and
I refrained from carrying on the
argument at the moment. as we did
not miss a truck and mail wagon
by very much.
But as soon as the lights were
| against us, I brought up the sub
ject again. What have you got
against La Guardian" I wanted to
know.
Hes all right, I guess" said the
driver, but he's running for this
! fusion business. That's the re-
formers. I don't want to see any
reformers. This business is tough
now without somebody telling peo-
pie they've got to be home at l
o'clock in the morning, with their
lights out"
Draw up to the curb" sug-
gested, and we battled out the issue.
I don't know whether I convinced
him or not, but the issue which he
brought up is an important one in
the municipal campaign.

Unfortunately. the word "reformer"

Gentlemen so branded are usually

those who wish to go in for an over

O'Brien IN Arnn0r

Nov, as to interference from
~ above I regard O'Brien. Minor
and Mckee as the three gentlemen
most likely to Galahadize the town.
Already Mayor O'Brien has set I'D
one Mr.. Levine as commissioner of
licenses, and this Tammanv in
cumoent is on record as declaring
that it is his right to revoke theater
licenses without any due legal pro-
cess whatsoever. 1t is his notion
that one Levine can't be wrong.
1 regard the precedent as danger
GUS. I do not accept Mayor
O'Brien's judgment as to what is
esthetically sound and culturally
permissible. Sally Randi the fan
dancer, was compelled by the
present administration to put on
opaque garments, and I should
think that would be bad for the
taxi business.
Although I regard John P.
OBrien as highly imperfect
mayor, I have never doubted his in
tense and aggressive morality. In
deed, that is one of the reasons why
he should be retired to private life.
There is need to raise the standards
in that quarter.
Joseph v. Mckee is known to his
associates as Holy Joe, and he won
this title in fair competition. Actual
values Of individuals become
obscured during campaigns. Political
orators use no colors but white and
black in painting their portraits of
the candidates.
AS a result each man running for
mayor is pictured as st. George or
Caligula. And neither estimate is
correct in any case.

 This seasons take only numbered 62 skins. The first pelt was taken on April 18, and the last on June B. The weather was unusually stormy and the five-man pared boats used by the hunters were un- able to take the ocean on a ma- jority of the days of the season.
 The herds were unusually abun- dant and seal were in sight almost all the time.

instead. of Congress to administer and regulate the fisheries of the Territory. It gives the Territory the authority to take them over when it gets ready
 They ought to be controlled by the Territory It will be for the best interest of every Alaskan, and I am convinced for the eanners, themselves, for it to do so," he declared.
 Wickersham Supports It
 Judge .Wickersham5s brief talk on it was direct, to the point and effective. He disposed of the argu- ment that it is political question, citing that both he and Delegate Dimond, his opponent last Fall made local control of fisheries one of the principal pledges of their campaigns. If it is a political proposition, it is universal politics and am for it." he asserted.
 He declared it is a right that the Territory ought to have pos sessed long ago, adding that "any man who thinks anything of AL aska ought to be for it." Both parties are pledged to support such a plan, and any person who voted for Delegate to Congress last Fall voted for it and fought to be honest enough to support it now" he added.
 He pointed out that Delegate Dimond is going to need the help of every Alaskan to get favorable action on the measure. It will be strongly opposed by powerful influ- ences and he expressed the fear that they would prove sufficiently strong to prevent it's passage.
 Cites Own Effort
 Judge Wickersham cited his own efforts to get a similar bill passed two years ago. He said he had compared in detail the bill be sponsored and the Dimond measure and found them substantially identical in their provisions. He had met with stiff opposition, and the strongest, he said, came from Juneau
 The committee to which his bill was referred had called upon the Secretary of Interior for an ex- pression of opinion. That officer, in turn, submitted the question to Gov. George A. Parks who had reported adversely upon it. He re- ferred to the then Governors letter in which the basis for his opposi- tion was alleged lack of finances to provide for proper administra- -tion and regulation, that the cost would be too much for the Terri tory 10 assume.
 Ut isn't anything of the kind" declared Judge Wickersham. He then analysed the various expendi- lures of the Bureau of Fisheries for several years, explaining their meaning. He spoke of the vast production of the industry, greater
