All I'm a Day
MARK AELlINOER
ODDS AND ENDS
BY

The front pages these days
seem to be devoted almost ex-
cluSively to tales of the kidnap-
ing racket. Mayors, governors
and even the PreSident-are
up in arms against an evil that
must be suppressed as rapidly
as possible. With your permis-
sion, I'd like to say a few words
on the subject. And if I'm
wrong-well, it's just one mans
opinion.
The snatch racket is by no
means new thing in this
country. It has cropped up in
various spots in the nation for
many a long year. But it wasn't
until after the advent of that
national Calamity-the prohi-
bition act-Chat it began to
find favor with organized
groups of racketeers through
out the United States. And it
continued to find favor until
the disappearance Of the Lind
bergh baby.
Shady People
1t continued to find favor, I
might explain, because the kid
naped person was very seldom
a man who didn't have a little
larceny in his own heart. The
organized groups took very few
chances. If the man who was
Snatched wasn't a racketeer
himself, he was generally pretty
close to it. Thus, the squawks
were few.
Certainly that was easy money.
Sometimes a man was held
in an apartment for a week,
but there were many occasions
when friends of the victims
came through in a few hours.
There was little peril in the
work, except from other under
world sources, and the pay was
beyond belief.
So, the boys grew bolder.
They began to kidnap actors,
race track characters and other
members of the sporting frater-
nifty. They grew unusually fear
less in their operations. In
deed, the late Vincent Coll,
widest of the wild in his day,
once kidnapped a beer man in
New Jersey-and walked into
the mans own office an hour
later.
I've just kidnapped your
boss" he told the assembled
mob, land I want $4,000 for
his release. I'm sitting here
now, and you can kill me. But
I've told my boys that, if I
wasn't back in an hour, they
were to knock off your boss. Do
I get the dough?"
So, what were the men to do?
These men knew that Coll was
the worlds dizziest desperate,
and that he meant his every
word. They could kill him cas-
lily, but that wouldn't bring the
boss back. And ten minutes
later Vincent Coll walked out
with the 100000 in his pocket
and no chance of ever being
arrested for the crime.
No Gangs Work
If the Lindbergh case is ever
solved, I'm willing to wager
my last dime that the crime
was committed primarily for
revenge. 1t was a million miles
from the accustomed doings of
an underworld kidnap ring.
Because those boys didn't want
a Lindbergh. That spelled dan
ger. What they wanted was
a Kelly or Cohen.
With the breaking Of the
Lindbergh story, however, most

to know that your wife has an
insurance policy that has been
in force at least 10 years. Why
don't you borrow some money
on that?"

in the business of kidnapping
other racketeerS, gave up the
game. When the police find a
kidnaper today, what have
they in hand? A sadeyed
moron, generally, whose previ-
out record is Of no consequence
whatsoever.
Look at the poor fool who
kidnapped Peggy McMath. Or
the bungling nitwit who was
sentenced to die the other day
for the Mary McElroy snatch.
Looking at them, any self
respecting member of the old.
time underworld must vince in
disgust.
Since we have no organized
bands, then, and since kidnap-
ing rings today are mostly
newspaper imagination, 1t is
up to the Government to de-
wise some punishment that will
stop the inevitable moron and
his cousin from stepping in
where angels fear to tread. I
would like to offer a SuggeS-
ton.
Over in Singapore, not so
many years ago, the English
were confronted with the
worlds worst underworld prob
lem. Compared to that situa-
ton, our present crime wave
is a kiddies' Maypole dance.
Today, Singapore is one of the
cleanest cities in the world.
Reason? The whipping post,
rigidly enforced. A man may
get but two months in jail
but he'll get IS lashes with
it. He gets but two or three
lashes the first day, and he
never knows when he'll get the
rest. And by the time he gets
out, brothers and sisters, he
thinks a long time before he
takes another stab at beating
Singapore justice. For the
agony of waiting for the next
lash is worse than the lash
itself.
Think it over, Mr.. Mayor,
Mr.. Governor and Mr.. Presi-
dent. The lash is an old-time
remedy-but, unlike some of
our modern remedies, it's a
cure that always works.
Treat your kidnaper, your in
termediary and your ransom
payer to the whipping post so
that all can See-and the kid
naping evil in America will be
wiped out overnight.

to be peeved if the avalanche
roared down over you and
smashed you to Smithereens.
That is exactly what is hap

YOU'VE GOT TO THINK IN

THEIR RIGHTS.
YOU'VE GOT TO THINK IN
NEW WAYS ABOUT YOUR

WHAT A DEM RACY
SHOULD REALLY DO.
YOU'VE GOT TO THINK IN

Human Diseases

Animals, it seems, are af-
fected with most of the dis
eases common to human beings,
and the hospital treatment is
pretty much the same, Mrs.
Adams tells me. Walking
through the wards one sees a
regular hospital chart tackled
to every cage. The charts re-
cord pneumonia, gastritis, low
blood pressure and all sorts of
ailments familiar to humans,
as well as the usual dog dis
eases.
The operating room is per-
haps the most interesting of all.
It contains a Horoscope, in
which you can watch the heart
beat Of your dog. While I
was there the surgeons used the
microscope in operating on
a police dog that had swallowed
iron bolts, seven tacks and
three nails. And one spaniel,
which had had to have a bone

Breaks Promises

It denies the Philippine peo-
pie any honest chance to frame
the kind of constitution under
which they wish to live.
1t promises the Philippine
Republic, to be set up in the
indefinite future, a fake" pro-
lection in the form of a
naturalization treaty of a sort
the United States would never
approve,
This Notwithstanding law
breaks every promise ever made
by the American people to the
Philippine people, puts the lat
ter in an economic strait
jacket for an indefinite period
and destroys the last hope Of
a sympathetic and intelligent
solution of problems that con-
Germ the Philippine people and
the American people jointly.
President Roosevelt had moth
ing to do with the enactment
of this iniquitous legislation.
This the Philippine people
know. And because they trust
the Presidents passion for JUS
tice as we'll as the power Of
his leadership they have ap-
parently resolved to give his
Administration the opportunity
to right the wrong which the
late and unlamented Seventy
second Congress inflicted upon
both the Philippine Islands and
the United States.
No greater opportunity is
likely to come to President
Roosevelt during his eight
years in the White House than
that which according to Manila
dispatches he will soon receive
at the hands of a Philippine
mission headed by Emilio Agui-
naldo and Manuel L. Quezon.

Dogs Think

Laddie Boy had a habit Of
trotting from the White House
proper to the Executive offices
at lunch time to get his master
and take him back. And I
observed that if the President
was busy and occupied, Laddle
would lie down quietly and wait
without a movement or a bark.
But if the President happened
to be alone at his desk, Laddle
Boy raised a great rumpus
until the President got up from
chis desk and started for home.
A few days ago over at Fort
Hamilton, Brooklyn, I inter-
viewed Rags, mascot and hero
of the First Division. A. E. F.
We had little talk in the
kitchen of Major Raymond w.
Hardenbergh's quarters at the
fort. Rags is II now and a
great old tyke. On his collar
are two service stripes and a
wound stripe. He was gassed
in the war when he trotted
out in No Mans Land at night
to save a badly wounded SOL
dier. If you tried to buy Rags
from the First Division-tor
any price-they would run you
off the reservation.
The funny thing is that Rags
is really French. Sergeant
Donovan, of the First Division
was walking along the Rue
Pigalle. in Paris, one night in
1917-a rainy, chilly night
when a little bunch OF dog,
sopping wet and miserable,
rubbed against his ankle.
In no time at all the little dog
became the pampered pet OF the
whole First Division. He came
out of the storm of shot and
shell unscathed, except for a
touch of mustard gas in the
lungs, and when the First DlVl'
sion came home in its glory
Rags was right up front with
the general. His footprint IS
preserved in the archives of the
British army, and he has al
most as many medals as Gen
eral PerShing.
