trained in crime
and convinced, probably, as he might
well be, that American justice is a
mere joke, he went to Tacoma and
planned there the Snatch" as crimi-
nails call it, of the Weyerhaeuser child.
Highway patrOlmen in the western
states did admirable work co-operat-
ing with the "G-men." The western
highway patrolmen are real policemen.
Mr.. Vincent Astor of New York has
bought in and will operate the st.
Regis hotel on Fifth avenue, built orig
inally with Astor money, now repur-
chased for $5,O9O,OOO.
An AstOr running a hotel is nothing
new. You need not be very, very old
to remember the gray granite "Astor
House." a block long, opposite the
City Hall on lower Broadway, where
they had roast beef such as you find
nowhere now.
Before prosperous Americans learned
to be really "aristOcratic" with yachts,
race horses and divorces, they thought
owning a hotel and putting your name
on it was almost aristocratic. The
AstOr House and the BrevOort House
in New York, the Palmer House in
Chicago, the Coates House in Kansas
City, a thousand others prove it.
Mussolini annoys England; he talks
so plainly-no diplomatic beating about
the bush. Bluntly he says to old Bri-
tannia: "When you were building up
your empire, killing off the Beers to
grab South Africa, taking India from
the pOt-bellied rajahs, gathering in ev-
erything that was not tied down, you
did not care tuppence what the world
thought about you. Now it is my turn
to gather in territory, maybe Ethiopia,
and care less than half of tuppence
what you think about it. So mind
your own business, please"
Important to the human race is news
of the "brain BATH" which, according
TO physicians gathered at a convention
of the American and Canadian medi-
cal associations, literally washes the
BRAIN" freeing it from the poison Of
diseases such as infantile paralysis,
st. Vitus' dance, sleeping sickness and
some kinds of spinal meningitis.
A solution of salt and water is in
jected into the vein at the ankle. Aft
er it has gone through the circulation
and washed out the brain, it is with
drawn with its collected pOisons
through needle inserted in the lower
end Of the spine.
NewsdOm, written for newspaper
men, says it has questioned all editors
and publishers that amount to any
thing, and finds them overwhelmingly
certain that radical movements are of
no serious trend"
The discovery will comfort many,
but it is well to be cautious. There
is always a possibility of underesti-
mating what looks like "radicalism of
no importance"
China, because she cannot do other
wise, yields in full to Japan's demands.
That is the news from Tientsin, and
1t happens because the 400,000,000
Chinese are not prepared for war,
whereas the 60,O00,OO0 Japanese are
prepared.
yielding" probably will not save
China from another heavy loss of ter
ritory. 1t is predicted that the young
Chinese emperor, Japan's figurehead
in ManchukuO, will be moved over and
back to the old imperial palace, there
to sit again as the Japanese imperial
dummy.
All this it not our business, for 1t Is
happening in Asia. We have plenty
to do here.
whats in a name?" Some young
Republicans want the old Republican
party to change its name from "Re-
publican party" to Constitutional
party" Long ago, when the New York
Herald, since dead, reduced its price,
the late Joseph Pulitzer wrote in
short editorial: "The trouble is not
with your price. 1t is with your news
paper. Change that"
The trouble with the Republican
party is not with its name.
A dangerous strike is called off in
Toledo, workmen wisely deciding to
deliberate before going ahead with
strike that might have thrown tens of
thousands out of work
The steel industry, also setting a
good example, decided to continue the
MIRA wage scale, not reducing pay or
increasing hours. The Supreme courts
Constitution decision has done no harm
there.
