When Dan Blocker, publisher
of The Blade, learns that Charles
Morden, police reporter, has been
mysteriously killed he determines
to employ Sidney Griff, famous
criminologist, to solve the muir
der. -. -
Morden had been assigned to
learn all he could about Frank
B. Cathay, wealthy and promi-
nent. who had threatened to sue
The Blade because the newspaper
reported Cathay had been ar
rested. Later it was proven that
the man arrested, giving the
name of Cathay and accompanied
by a girl called Mary Briggs, was
an impostor. The Blade published
retractior.
Then Morden is found dead and
few hours later comes news
that Cathay is dead - possibly
poisoned.
Sidney Griff undertakes the
case. He calls on Cathay's phys:-
clans and then goes to see Chas.

President Roosevelt has taken the sound
position that the worlds silver supply is an
unknown factor. not comparable with gold in
the development of a managed currency. This
was shown in the failure of the open-market
silver price to follow the governments price,

mined metal The open price since has ranged
from As to Al cents an ounce.
Bryan may have been right when he said
mankind was being crucifed on a cross of
gold. But under the present firm control of
gold, Wall Street has lost much of its power

NOT A BAROMETER

NTHILE timorous folk talk excitedly of
revolutions planned at Washington
dinner parties, the man who has a good pair
of eyes in his head can get a much better size
up OF the situation by looking around the
country to the spots where the spray is be-
ginning to fly over the battlements.
If we ever do have revolution, it won't
come from the phenagling of eager inteIlec-
tualS in Washington Instead, it will be the
result of a lot of ordinary folk getting mad
and starting to throw things.
The last weeks news contains several
items that come pretty close to landing in
that category.
In Chicago. ten thousand holders of de-
faulted real estate and municipal bonds parade
down Michigan boulevard, shouting I'VE have
been robbed" at the top of their lungs.
In Oklahoma City, Governor Murray Or
ders national guardsmen on duty in eleven
counties to prevent sale of property for delin-
quent taxes, as advertised by county author
tiles. The soldiers are ordered to arrest las
a military prisoner" any county treasurer or
other officer who tries to conduct such sale.
In Nebraska farm leaders plan for a
demonstration of $4,000 farmers to protest
against new deal agricultural policies and to
demand the release of two men arrested for
preventing farm mortgage foreclosure sales.
And in North Dakota, farmers threaten
actual battle" to save their lands from fore
closure, and beg the Governor to declare mar
tial law to save the situation.
When you add all these things together,
they sound rather ominous A change is COM
ing over the face of the waters-and it's the
lad down at the bottom of the heap who's caus-
ing it. not the brain truster sitting craftily at
a desk in Washington.
What trouble We have is coming up from
the grass roots, not down from above And
the way to avert more trouble is to remove the
causes of this discomfort on the spot.
Tuning in on after dinner chats at WASH
ington tells us nothing and gets us nowhere.

CHILDREN'S MOVIES

L YER since the days of the nickelodeon
parents have been trying to solve the
problem Of decent moving pictures for their
children. Many efforts have been made, but
no general solution has been found FIRE.
quently the children themselves have baked
at special" films created for them because
they suspected that an effort was being made
by the grown folk to improve their minds
rather than to give them a good time.
There are plenty of suitable and entertain
ing pictures for youngsters in the archives of
the moving picture industry. The difficulty is
to get them out and on the screen. A group
of public spirited mothers on the North Side
is trying to do this in cooperation with the
neighborhood theaters Shows are selected
carefully and tickets are being sold at reas-
enable rates.
This initial effort should not be allowed
to languish for want of public support In
fact, we think that the first successes of this
movement in a limited section of the COM
munity should be followed by making such
shows easily accessible to all children in the
city.
Let some big downtown theater take I'D
the plan and thereby perform a real public
service.

PERNICIOUS PRACTICES

THE report of the District of Columbia
grand jury, which censured "pernicious
practices" of lobbyists in Washington should
not be permitted to slide by without cor
receive action.
President Roosevelt has suggested a curb
on political lobbying; bills have been intro
duced in congress; but no final action has
been taken there. One of these measures, the
Borah bill, which would keep senate lawyers
from representing persons or corporations
pushing claims before the United States,
would be a good step. But not enough.
For years there has been agitation for what
amounts to the licensing of lobbyists, for their
registration before they can ply their trade
in washington.
"Pernicious practices" will not end without
some such legislation.

THEY NEVER WIN

John DILLINGER'S day is coming 1t will
- be an unlucky day for John Dnlinger for
the bullets Of Uncle Sans department of JUS
tice agents are going to find their mark.
John Dillingers kind never win True. he
seems to be wearing a charmed existence.
Several times he has shot his way out of care
fully laid traps this last time escaping only
through the unfortunate and unintentional
blunder Of some c. c. c. workers.
An example of the climax is seen in Ernest
kid Giberson's escape and capture in Gin
$ cinnati yesterday.
Dillinger and his gangsters probably never
would have escaped that federal trap laid
down by federal agents had not those three
young c. c. c. workers happened to blunder
on to the scene.
The end is coming for John Dillinger, just
as it comes for all criminals. Few men ever
escape the relentless pursuit of the department
of justice operatives and practically never
does known desperate manage to elude the
logged men who stay on the trail until the
last chalk mark has been marked down
Our federal law enforcement officers re-
ceive little Of the credit to which they are en-
titled. The truth of the matter is that. like
their comrades across the border, the Cana
dian "Mounties," the men who work for
Uncle Sam always get their man.
Yes, John Dillinger has been lucky Yes,
he has been adept in shooting his way out of
tight spots. But John Dillinger's day is COM
ing
Cleverer, trickier, harder men than Dill
linger have found that out. They blazed their
way into the headlines of the newspapers with
their guns But like comet the trail came
to an end with bullets from guns in other
mems -policemens hands.
John Dillinger may be lucky. he may be
tricky, he may be clever. But the end of that
long, long trail Is near all too near
for the son of Mooresville farmer.
