BLOW AT CRIMINALS

WHENEVER you take up the problem of
W crime and its prevention YOU are pretty
likely to find yourself talking about the
lawyers before you get through
Attorney General Cummings announce
ment that the department of Justice is pre-
pairing to open fire on lawyers suspected of
underworld connection should not be sur
priSirg. That there are lawyers who work
hand in glove with notorious crooks is per-
fectly obvious-as, likewise is the fact that
the crooks can't be curbed effectively until
something is done to the lawyers.
"One of the most important elements of
predatory crime says the attorney general.
lis the manner in which some members of
the bar cooperate with the underworld"
Any man accused of crime, no matter how
black his reputation, is entitled to the best
legal defense he can get when he gets into
court. That much goes without saying.
But what the encouragement is talking
about is the lawyer who advises the gangster
on how to commit and cover up crimes, who
helps him slip out of the laws grip when he
gets caught, uses trickery to guide him safely
through the courts and in general steps over
the ethical borderline in looking after his
interests.
There are lots of lawyers like that Every
one who has had anything to do with the
criminal courts knows it perfectly we'll So
far the various bar associations Of the coun-
try seem to have been either unwilling or un-
able to do anything very effective about put
ting such lawyers out Of practice.
AS an emergency measure, action by the
federal government would be a very good
thing. Uncle Sam has taken on a lot of
unfamiliar jobs this year; if he wants to tackle
the racketeers of the legal profession, now,
we can do nothing but wish him lots of luck,
But in the long run the job is up to the
legal profession itself. much finer sense

to the client who happens to be paying him.

COMMENDABLE WEAKNESS

a COLLEGE professor and high school
teacher have made a study of eleven
leading history textbooks used in our schools
They find that there is not as much space as
formerly devoted to our wars. They particu-
larry stress the slight space given to the World
war. One book, for example, gives only 3,187
words to the World war and Paris is the only
city mentioned by all eleven of the books in
connection with the World war In two of the
books the name of Foch was omitted-and
so on
Such news may disturb obseSsed opponents
OF the military cult, but, it will not disquiet
the souls of sensible people who recognize in
war the major scourge Of the race today. If
nationaliSm and militarism are subsiding in
the schools Of our country it is cause for great
satisfaction. They are not on the decline in
most other respects of American life -

NEARER THE LIGHT

@T>HAT there is in America a certain amount
- of disilusionment about the MIRA pro-
Sgram can not be denied. The scheme hasn't
brought the millennium overnight. 1t hasn't
restored prosperity as fast as some of us dared
s to hope. 1t hasn't returned men to work at
49, rate we would like to see them returning.
Nevertheless, it is worth remembering that
Its accomplishments are very genuine and very
much worth while. President Green of the
"A. F. of L. points out, for example, that there
Shas been a 20 per cent reduction in unemploy-
~ment since March. In August fully $4,000
,,wage earners returned to work; the indications
are that the first part of September will show
AN even better percentage of improvement.
y In other words. if we aren't out of the
woods yet we are whole lot nearer the edge
than We we're before. It's too bad that unem-
sployment hasn't been reduced by more than
Sone-hfth; on the other hand, it is exceedingly
fine that even that much of reduction has
been made.

1t Seems
to Me
-BY HEYWOOD BRoUN=

NEW YORK. Oct Al think
L there are a good many things
to be said for initiation and much
against. but in any case it seems to
me vital that a decision should be
made Immediately as to whether We
will or we won't.
If there is to be imitation, then
let it be done quickly and in as
definite terms as possible, Perhaps
it is not within the power of an
individual to say, Here is the pre-
else point at which We are going
to peg the dollar as a purchasing
unit in relation to the key COM
modities." But at the very least
some approximate ledge may be Sc
lected upon which we may expect
to perch for a reasonable length of
time.
Some OF the economists and
moulders of public thought have
warned Us against "plunging" into
imitation. I think it would be far
more sensible to plunge than to
edge in one toe at time. If there
is some tonic quality in cheaper
money it can operate only for those
nations which have the nerve to
shout, Here we go. boys" and leap
forthwith from the springboard.

IN the strangely prophetic book,

has enjoyed a revival, Edward Bel

foretell what the world will be like

did not hesitate to attack all the
social evils of his day, and that
much of his dream is becoming re-

to the fantastic tale.

Auto Deaths

BY C. Edwards.
The Times yesterday said that
the auto death toll for this year
had reached ninety-six, the total
for the entire year of 1882.
Is there no answer to this hor-
rible, always-mounting toll? Is
there nothing that the police, the
autoists and the pedestrians could
do to stop these traffic deaths?
Certainly in this age of ours there
must be some solution to the con-
tinual occurrence of these TRACE
dies.
Perhaps we have neglected to
stress the situation in these years
of hard battling to earn our liv-
ing. Let's forget some of our
personal worries and organize to
stop this menace.

BY G. P. Andrews.
In your issue of Sept. 90 on the
first page there is picture of Her
bert E. Wilson, prosecutor of Mar
ion county, and in the column to
the right of this picture he is max
ing a great fuss because he is I'M
able to obtain the custody Of one
John Dillinger
After the lazy years that We have
gone through and Mr.. Wilson's tao
tics toward the closed banks of
Marion county one is reminded of
the story we have heard of the de-
positor who went to the bank to
draw his money and when he found
he could get it he did not want it.
From Mr.. Wilson's past actions
one can imagine how he rejoiced
when he found that he would not
have to try Mr.. Dillinger, but that
he would have an opportunity to
make the people believe that he was
very anxious to do so.
If Mr.. Wilson had a genuine de-
sire to enforce the laws of Indiana
pertaining to banks, there would be
no question in any fair minded per-
sons mind but that we would have
had fewer bank failures lin Indiana.
He likes to set up the plea that
unless an official of a bank accepts
deposits when he knows the bank
is insolvent, there is no way of
prosecuting the officials of the
bank. I told Mr. Wilson that the
vice-president and treasurer of a
local bank accepted my deposits for
over a period of nearly seven years,
which completely repudiates his ar
gument, and, in answer to this, he
said he would not be stampeded into
anything.
I can not understand why there
is such fuss about a man stealing
a sack of flour or a bushel of DO
tatoes, or even sticking up a bank,
when the banks have been robbed of
hundreds of thousands of dollars
from the inside which has caused
more misery and probably more
deaths than all the stickups we have
had. Of course, we all realize that
any banker has plenty Of money to
hire attorneys, while the little flour,
potato and holdup thieves would
have to hire an attorney of very
little importance or accept one ap-
pointed by the county.

1t is a great pity that both sides
in the currency controversy have
talked such much nonsense. The
notion that everybody Immediately
becomes twice as rich the minute
twice as much money is printed is
too childish to be worth any adults
attention. And yet it is this very
belief which animates the enthu-
siasm of millions of inflationists.
On the other hand, the sound
money boys have said many things
just as silly. The phrase itself is
extensively untrue in its implica-
lions. There is nothing essentially
sound about a Debated dollar. In
deed the reverse is true. A twenty
cent dollar is just as honest as a
$1.39 dollar. But think it might be
helpful all around to have some ink
ling in advance as to just where the
purchasing unit is going to light.
You can't quite blame the mass
spectators from becoming a little
nervous when they see the dollar
doing spins and loops and side-slips.
