FIGHTING THE RACKETEER

1t is claimed by the vets that prohibition brought
forth the racketeer. Possibly so. Regardless of
what gave this class of lawbreakers their start it is
high time the governments of states and nation put
crimp in their activities.
Prohibition forces are being radically cut. Why
not put the force that has been engaged to fight
violations of the liquor traffic into a fight to the
end against the racketeer?
1t is a disgrace to this nation that officers of
the law in every large city know to man who
those are engaged in the many rackets and yet
unable to place them behind the bars except as
they can be arrested for the more simple violation
of the income tax laws.
The Anderson Mail gives editorial thought to this
question follows:
"Uncle Sam, in addition to trying to put gang
sters in prison for not paying their income tax
will now make the effort to rid the country of one
of the greatest menaces of modern times, the rae
keteer, who may be termed graduate gangster.
1.-The heavy hand of the raCketeer is not always
seen but is felt throughout the width and breadth
of the land. If labor union, or manufacturing
establishment, is forced to pay tribute to criminals
at the point of gun that means just so much
additional cost to be passed on to the paying pub
lie. An article you buy for your house, a suit Of
clothes or any other purchase may carry an item of
cost that represents the racketeers handout.
1t is situation that is a disgrace to the nation
and should be cleaned up with drastic thorough
ness. And the sooner the better, for prices are
going up and the public will have to stand enough
in that respect without the underworld continuing
to get its slice.-Rock Hill IS. c. Herald

This incident led to a close
personal friendship between SEN

the eventual appointment of Sen
ator Bailey as member Of the
small and powerful committee on
conservation and in which he has
already become one Of the most
influential members. Those in
Washington who know how deep
~ interested Senator Bailey is in
all phases of conservation arc
convinced that he is going to be
able to get the government to do
much more along conservation
lines than it has ever done before
and that he will also be able to
get more aid extended to North
Carolina than ever before.

WAsHINGToN,-The attempt to

That became apparent during
hearings on the cotton textile

The code had been formulated

doubtedly would make workers

unfair competition.
Another loophole, not yet

mill owners frequently own the

their employees live. The recov-

out yet what it can do if the COM

Advertising Creates Desire.

(Bremerton News Searchght)
One of the traits which endeared the late
Calvin Coolidge to the hearts of the American
people was his homey logic. He had a simple way
of stating everyday fact which many of us are
likely to overlook in the turmoil and complexities
of modern life. Coolidge said:

people to become acquainted with what

We are proud of the fact that every wage Garner

Promotion for Welles.
Cincinnati Enquirer

For good many years it has been an un-
fortunate tradition of our State Department that
Ian enthusiastically is the utmost to which diplO-
mat can aspire while responsible post in the
Department is only stepping-stone to a foreign
assignment. One after another, our abeSt Assistant
Secretaries of State have been promoted" to Buda
pest and Tokyo, Peiping and Vienna
Sometimes that promotion" has been a polite
but effective method of crowding out charming
but useless gentlemen who cluttered up the wheels
of foreign policy at Washington But in the main,
our ablest diplomats have been unwilling to leave
an ambassadorship for the Department and have
taken their first chance to leave the Department
for major assignment abroad
This is understandable. As an Ambassador,
the diplomat has a delightful life he is his own
boss, and he enjoys extensive travel well as long
vacations 1t is a colorful task than to
head up phase of the State Departments
work under a superior and subject to the nerve
|shattering fire of sharpshooters in Congress and
lin the press. But the fact remains that an
Assistant Secretary of State has greater response
Ibilty and greater opportunity than the average
Ambassador abroad The short tenure of our higher
|officials in the State Department has been the
cause of much inefficiency in the conduct of our
foreign policy.
In view of these circumstances the impending
return of Sumner Weles to the State Department
is gratifying indeed. Mr. Weles, career diplomat
has done a splendid job in Cuba But he can be
more useful in his former place Assistant Sec
rotary of State in charge of Latin-American af-
fairs He upsets precedent in regarding that post
las promotion from an ambassadorship. 1t is to
be hoped that his example will be followed in
future

PROS LOSING OUT

The professional tennis picture
for 1884 is still far from clear,
owing to the uncertainties as to
Just what, if anything, is to be
gained by any amateur star who
turns pro and just who, if any
one among the brighter lights, IS
going to make the big leap this
fall or winter.
There has been a lot OF super
fluous ballyhoo for the fading
Frenchman, Henri Cochet, VINO
would not even think of turning
pro were it not for the fact he
is through with Davis Cup COM
petition. 1t is trifle late to
build up" a fresh rivalry between
those old stagers, Cochet and Big
Bill Tilden. They need new blood,
someone like Vines, to stimulate
the professional prospects, but the
tall Californian, no longer nation
al champion, probably has now
been advised to look before he
leaps.
