AN EXPERTS ADVICE

NTHEN Spike ODonnell, Chicago gangster,
w buttonholed Senator Royal S. Copeland
to tell him what ought to be done about
this crime business" he at least spoke with
the knowledge of an expert
And although his recipe was brief, it sounds
very good. What the gangster told the sena-
tor was simply this:
"All you need is honest cops and little
cooperation from the courts"
That, really, is all there is to it, Follow
that formula and you can clean up almost
any crime situation-provided of course, a
little intelligence and energy are available in
suitable quantity.
The only trouble is that figuring out why
cops aren't always honest and why the courts
don't always cooperate leads you to the very
heart of the most difficult and complicated
problems our democracy faces

MOT in many long day have
~ American women enjoyed such
a thrill as they had when the first
issue of Esquire, the mans maya
zine. made its appearance. At my
favorite news stand was told the
ladies had gobbled up every copy.
Charity might prompt one to ex-
plain that these thoughtful wives,
mothers, sisters. and daughters,
were carrying them home to sur
prise and delight their men, but the
person who has a regard for the
truth dare not make the assertion.
Especially if she wishes to preserve
reputation for understanding
modern woman. And if it kills her,
modern woman will read every word
of every issue Of any publication
that puts For men only" or words
to that effect, upon its cover.

erations obviously are difficult and
can be performed only by sur
geons of wide experience and those
who have access to the necessary
apparatus to sustain breathing dur
ing the operation and to protect the
patient against shock and bleeding.
1t shows also the great safety Of
modern surgery as compared with
the dangers to patients under con-
ditions in the past.
AS scientific medicine has ad-
vanced, surgeons have been able to
delve deeper and deeper into the
human body. Once upon time it
was considered invariably fatal 70

brain never could be touched.
Gradually, with the development
of anesthesia and clean surgery
and with development of new in
struments to sustain breathing and
blood pressure during operations,
with development Of blood transfu-

agulation, surgery has been able to
go farther and farther, so that to-
day there is no portion of the hui
man body that the surgeon does
not reach.

WHEN decent employer wishes to dis
charge his Office boy he gives the lad
chance to state his side of the case. Hilton
U. Brown, Hugh T. Miller and Emsley w.
johnson, local trustees Of Butler university,
summarily dismissed Dr. Walter Athearn as
president of the institution without even
granting him this ordinary justice.
Their conduct is ample proof of DR..
Athearns charges that these gentlemen have
made Butler their vest pocket college. All
three trustees are estimable citizens.
The fact is that running a university is a
highly specialized job requiring lifetime of
preparation Messrs. Brown Miller and John
son have demonstrated fully in the last few
days that they are conspicuously inept in adj
ministering an educational institution. They
evidently have no understanding whatever of
the importance of academic freedom or of the
liberal viewpoint. college can not be oper-
ated like a steel mill
Regardless of the merits of DR.. Athearns
case these three men stand convicted before
the public of SNUG insolence and cruelty to
college president who certainly has been de-
voted to the best interests Of Butler whatever
mistakes he may have made.
DR.. Athearn aply mas set forth thirty
achievements which he claims for himself
during his brief administration Of the univer-
sity They are extremely impressive. The
three local trustees will make no reply, of
course, because there is no adequate answer
for them to make. They undoubtedly will
stand on the mealy-mouthed statement they
issued about severing relations with DR..
Athearn without bitterness"
The discharged president also had some
thing to say about the fact that Butler actu-
ally was operated from downtown" office
occupied by these three worthless. He pointed
out that the institution could not be operated
efficiently by such dual control His complaint
gains considerable substance when it is re-

the passing of the saloon and the
old-time barber shop, but it finally
had to give up the ghost. Even the

No Retreat

By H. L. seeger.
John F. White expresses the
thought of many of your readers
in the article of Friday, Oct. 81.
1t seems remarkable that after
four years of agony through which
our people have passed, there still
should be harping to return to the
days that created economic de-
Spair.
Your editorials breath human
interest rather than sordid selfish
ness.
Special privilege in our economic
system will have to be displaced
with equal rights.
Economic rights must rest upon
economic social justice, and have
concurrent duties to society.
There can be no retreat; social
responsibility in industry is as
repugnant to liberty as human
slavery was. We hail the new
Horace Greeley. Forward to new
day, square deal, a new social
order.

The cancer had been diagnosed
before the operation and specimens
had been removed by use Of a
lighted tube introduced into the
lung by way of the windpipe, These
specimens were examined through
a microscope and the diagnosis of
the cancer was established.
Details of the operation hardly
would be understood by any except
a trained surgeon, but, briefly, they
involve tying off the tissues to pre-
vent hemorrhage and leaving some
radium seeds in the tissues to pre-
vent new growth Of the tumor.
Blood also was transfused into
the patient to prevent shock after
the operation. 1t took about three
weeks for the side from which the
lung was removed to heal COM
pletely.
This case is particularly impor-
tant because it shows the neces-
sity of complete removal Of tissues

run out of the spot I first tried. I
went down on the walk and found
out that the police department had
assigned two motorcycle police to
escort a dancer to her hotel.
I saw the dancer and her party
being escorted to a car under the
protection of our police. I saw the
two motorcycles head up Illinois
street with their horns wide open
and as much notice as goes with the
escort of a presidential party, the
car with the dancer and her party
following. Not a person along the
line of noise and racket knew what
it was all about or whether the
police were on a call to a fire or
another hold up.
We had hard working school
teachers in our city the last few

The Old Stool
BY AUSTIN JAMES

They say that I'm crazy and hazv

They laugh at me, scoff at me. call

cause I sing to 1t, talk to 1t. call
it friend,
It's a queer little, dear little. fun
ny old stool.
Is a man such fool when in senti-

He may choke up a bit and q tear
he may drop,
Remembering when he would cit m
on the stool
With its funny old legs and its
needle-point top.
1t was there that I sat while
a very small boy,
AS I listened to mothers sweet
voice give the rule
OF right living-and how I could
grow to a man,
Am I foolish for loving a little
old stool?
o, it stood in the corner by grand
fathers clock,
Till the time mother sat in the
old Morris chair,
Then my privilege it was to bring
out the old stool,
And I'd place it beside her and
list to her there.
Twas an ancient, a sage with a
legend of age,
Twas my life and my home and
my church and my school,
And I'm foolish they say-but they
know not my love,
For the dear little, queer little,
funny old stool.

An Old Adrenulin MiSer

HOWEVER, might accept these
L Il statistics with a fair degree Of
calm According to the Pitkin
tabulations. I work harder than a
tailor (when I work. of course) and
only slightly less than one ironing
with a 5-lb. iron
The thing that troubles me is the
professors revelation that for years
I have been living in a fools para
disc in the matter of keeping my
temper. I don't mean, of course,
than I am 100 per cent guilty in
maintaining an even disposition.
Once every five years I get in a fist
fight in some public place. But it
has been my custom never to send
the chops back or fly into a tumult
if there's a fly in the highball
My point Of view has been: What
does 1t matter? One fly or a couple
Of burnt chops won't kill me. There
is no use in making a fuss But
now it seems that this failure to
get excited is doing things to my
glands Let Mr. Pitkin tell his own
story, with a few cuts here and

Trivial RACES tone me up absurd

spring I had a series of facilitating
colds accompanied with an annoy
ing bronchial tightness >. So there
was nothing to do but treat the
nostrils with a certain brand of
ephedrine which has worked best
with me. So I sent a messenger
to the nearest drug store for a bot
tie of it.
The messenger soon returned
with a package. I opened it only
to find strange preparation the
the name of whose maker 1 never
had heard

ordered?" I demanded.

passages cleared for the first time

A Threatening Note.

I CAN not say that I am altogether
l. convinced. On the contrary. I
am somewhat terrified by this vivid
account of what happens to Mr..
Pitkin's adrenal glands under the
stimulus Of sudden anger. If the
mere thought of bawling out a drug
gist could lift the author to such
heights, what would happen if some
body quite unjustifably punched
Mr.. Pitkin in the nose?
The professor has written four
books within the last seven or eight
months. I trust that chemists will
please pay proper attention the
next time and give him real pre-
war ephedrine or every reader and
reviewer in the country will be
SWamped under a food of Pitkin.
Here, at least, is a man who NAV
with full right assume the motto.
Don't tread on mel" Not unless
you want to have twenty books
bounced of your head.

For just what purpose is the po-
lice force of Indianapolis organized?
We do know that in many cases they
fail in their efforts to take bandits;
at least the major portion of rob-
berries, holdups, safe cracking and
the like never has been ferreted
out by the local police.
For what purpose do they func-
ton? Is it to take positions in the
intersections of our streets, hail
friendly motorists and stop them for
a chat and hold up others who may
want to go but can't move unless
given the signal by the cop who has
friend he stops, and during their
conversation all other traffic is
blocked.
Are they wearing the uniform so
they can take positions at our street
intersections and stop wholesale ice
cream trucks until the drivers, after
no little delay and considerable
moving about, hands the cop a cake
of ice cream, and for it gets a hand
wave and all the time traffic is held
up in all directions? I have noticed
this several times and have Won
dered why they don't stop packing
house trucks and demand a roast
or a boiling piece from the driver;
get a case Of beer from the beverage
trucks and pies from the bakery
trucks.

RUT I doubt that the rule laid

applied generally without qualifca-

that something is just as good I
accept the substitution quite calmly
because 1 never thought much of
the original nostrum which I or
dered. And it's ten to one I'll leave
1t in the taxicab, anyhow.

more quickly than Mr.. Pitkin. I
