Cheer-O!
By Robert BenchLey

can't be so low on one day that
you can't be lower on another
day in a few weeks. Just sit tight
and wait, and it won't be long
before you are looking back on
today as you used to look back
on the day of the Bear Mountain
picnic.

our glands, and our glands come
from that place where they make

ploding cigars and other practi-
cal jokes. Get a Trick Thyroid

The best part of it all is that
we have no control over it.
There used to be theory
that a couple of good shots Of
rye, or a front row seat at a
musical comedy, would diSsipate
the blues, but that was a lazy
mans remedy.
Now we know that there is
nothing to do but sit tight and
snarl at passers-by, for you are
in the middle of a "cycle" and
you won't get out until your
endocrines say that you may.
So let's have more no long
faces and whining voices! There
is no such thing as "the dumps"
You aren't in just a mood"
That's the way you're going to
be, with increasing regularity,
from now on.
Another bowl, landlord! and
my pipe! want to break it

The Greatest Show On Earth
BIZ John Snure, Jr,

Of the Chief Executive is upon
the White House.
In its drive against boot
logging, the FACA is faced with
revival of an old type of illicit
sale.
"The "bIind pigs" Of pre:prO-
hibitiOn days, those establish
m ents selling liquors after
hours, are still doing business.
Added costs on legally stamped
liquor pay the purveyOr for his
trouble and risk.
There is another type OF boot
leger, hoWeUer, 1Dho is doing a
land office business and is dit
ticult to trap.
He is the half-pint purveyor
who sells when licensed eStab-
Ishments are closed.
Before closing hours, he pur-
chases his supply of legal liquor
from some store.
Then in the hours when regu-
lar places are not doing business,
he peddles on the street corner.
Those gentlemen who need
one last drink or an eye-Opener
to prevent them from shaking
to pieces are willing to Fay more
than the usual cost. Also, they
are ready and willing to keep
quiet about their benefactOrS.
While the Administration en-
deGUorS to centrGlise goUern-
ment in Washington, some
students are pointing out that
100 gears ago, TEXAS, the State
from whence comes Vice PreSi-
dent John Garner, took up
arms rather than accept a
centralist government.
These students believe that
Texas will continue, with other
States, to combat efforts at cen
tralization in keeping with Sec.
ton / of Article l Of its Con-
Stitution, which reads:
"TexaS is a free and indepen-
dent State, subject only to the
Constitution of the United
States, and the maintenance of
our free institutions and the
perpetuity of the Union depend
upon the preservation of the
right of local Self-gOvernment,
unimpaired to all the States"
These students ask if that is
followed by the Administration
of which "Texas Jack" is a
part.

Robert Lansing, Secretary Of
State in the Wilson Cabinet, in
answer to a protest from Aus

United States of arms to the
Allies, pointed out that the
United States was not a coun-

He advised that unless arma-
ment makers of the United
States were paid to keep up

that the day might come when
this country would be attacked
and find that its munitions
manufacturer had gone out of
existence leaving it to the mercy

mike took charge of the de-

alization was at its peak-when
subordinate officers and rank and
file were vainly endeavoring to
find their way through jungle OF
conflicting ORDERS" "regula-
tons" and the childish egotism
of an inept leadership.
1t was inevitable that in the re-
organization of the department he
made some enemies, but the most
bitter of these frankly admit his
ability as an executive.
Scarcely had he settled down
to work than the April riots
broke; the communists, encour-
aged by the apparent disorgan-
ization of the department under
the former chief, undertook to
take the town. They counted
wrong! They were met with a
frmness that astonished them.
Then came the May riots

prived of practically all police
power and the city taken over
by the militia.
Through all this, the iron nerve
of Johannes never cracked. He
played to no gallery, played no
favorites. He considered his
oath of office-an oath to enforce
the law and maintain order-as
something sacred, and no man
can truthfully say that Mike Jo-
names violated that oath in any
degree.
1t is unfortunate that politics
plays SO great part in the adj
ministration of our police depart
ment. 1t is unfortunate that poll
tics too often become so vilely
rotten that candidates for office
stoop to the most contemplate
lies and character assassinations
in their anxiety and eagerness to
gain brief grab at the public
crib.
During the late campaign the
charge was made by at least one
radical candidate that Johannes
was disgrace to the uniform

cowardly statement and a damned

Labor Association and that he
honestly believed that the change
of name had been attended to in
the matter of the Incorporation.
There was no opportunity for the
petitioners to get evidence to re-
flute Olson for the purpose OF
that trial because the court in
sisted after Olson left the stand
that the case was promptly COM
ing to close.
Attic the law is that such de-
tails of incorporation to be legal
must be filed with the secretary
of state, and altho the law pre-
sumes everyone knows the con-
tents of public records, Judge
Dickinson said he believed o.
sons explanation, he believed Oh
son acted in good faith, and dis
missed the suit without permit
ting Monaghan opportunity for
argument. Even if Olson had
acted in good faith, he had not
complied with the explicit legal
provisions in having the Fedora
tons Incorporation extended to
the Association, it being merely
a change of name" And even
good faith could not legally re-
lease him from responsibility.
But a check up on the matter
of change of name discloses now
that Olson did not act in good
faith in any of his claims set up
in that last minute surprise testi-
mony. He did not act in good

When court recessed at noon
on the last lay of the trial, it was
understood that both sides had
rested and that arguments would
be made by both sides when the
court convened again at two
O'Clock.
The situation was this:
Olson had admitted on the
stand that he was a dues-paying
member of the FL Association
and the sworn affidavit of the
editor of the FL Leader, filed
with the pc stal authorities, that
the newspaper was owned by the
FL Association, was offered
after the laying of a proper foun-
dation. The files of the Leader
had been offered, showing that
Olson had received over two
thousand column inches of pub
licity in its columns during the
campaign, and showing that the
circulation was from 100000 to
over / ,00000O copies per issue
during that time. Creel had testi-
fed that the value of advertising
in the Leader was worth $275
per inch, altho experts claim
(outside of the record) that $40
per inch is the reasonable worth.
