Miracle for the Masses

A ND it is we'll to remember that in the days to
L N come Roosevelt is quite capable of performing
mass miracle of the sort over the radio.
just now the strength of the Roosevelt campaign
lies largely in the weakness of the Republican drive
Landons name produced somewhat too early.
The excitement created by the slogan that he had
balanced the budget has begun to die down. No
body has thought up anything else to say about
Landon
OF course, the correspondents solidly against
him. There is nothing personal in this, but natur
ally every newspaper man shoulders at the thought
of having Topeka Kas., the summer capital
Topeka is a city which moves Poughkeepse up to
being suburb of Paradise

A LII these things help the police and Scotland

the most important aids to law enforcement are the
high character of the judges and their pride which
is often pcmpous but rarely injurious to the inter-
eSts of an innocent
No Tammany leader calls up English Judge

thevng public official, and silly objections and mo-
tons to acquit declare mistrial would win for
the attorney who had the effrontery to offer them
nothing better than learned bawling out and might
result in his disbarment.
The British have learned to regard crime and
punishment as cause and inevitable effect and the
intelligent people understand the futity of trying to
get away with anything. AS result the field of
crime is left almost exclusively to pathetic minority
OF dumb frightened incompetent first offenders who
do their little jobs badly in the first place label
themselves with guilt and generally cave in the
minute they accused
The English have secret longing for dirty work.
expressed in their gaudy exploitation of American
crime, which fascinates them strangely and in their
passion for houseparty murders revealed in mystery
novels which come rolling off the press with almost
the rapidity of newspapers. But, although there
has been terrible massacre of lady Agathas and
Sir Beverly Backwaters within the board covers of
their favorite books in actual fact the deceased in
British murder generally is an ignorant,
commonplace victim of some brainless clod who has
neither the ingenuity to plan good crime nor the
courage TO put up gumptous defense.

A Weekend Jaunt

THE typical English murder is that in which
Il stupid man and woman butcher her husband or
his wife, ship the legs to Brighton, the head and
arms to Glasgow and other parts of the anatomy to
Newcastle Tyne, using assumed names for deep
deception. They then take trip to Bournemouth
to spend the life insurance fish and chips leaving
the canary at home to starve. A neghbor now calls
the S. P. c. A. to succor this suffering fowl and the
s. P. c. A. calls the police, who have just discovered
the gr1Sy baggage, thanks to the keen intelligence
OF a station master whose knew Smultane-
ously a shrewd seaside landady informs the loca,
police that the dodgers in No. seem suspicious be-
cause they are squanderng money fish and chips
Now comes the local bobby with his notebo/ but
without pistol or apprehension, to intery he
authors of this highly mysterious crime, d
up together in honest respect for the law az
claim, like children speaking a piece Yes he did l.
We very much regret our rash act and are ready to
pay the penalty"
So the British hang them both and Scotland
Yard gets credit for another triumph to the great
inferential disgrace of the American cops who have
to fight it out with Dillingers and Harvey Baileys
and Vincent Coils and crooked lawyers and grade
Governors and sentimental juries courts beneath
contempt.

DROUGHT SEEN
WORSE THAN
IN 1894
Corn, Wheat States
Hardest Hit by
Dry Spell
International News Service

Drought conditions from the
Mississippi Valley to the Rocky
Mountains, except for scattered
areas, are more severe now than
in 1884, j. B. Kincer, chief of the
Department of Agriculture crop
weather bureau, reported today.
Threshing returns Of winter
wheat are fully up to expectations
and somewhat better than eX-
pected in a good many places, the
Weather Bureau reported. However
unfavorable conditions in the
Northwest caused further deter
ioration in spring grains in that
area. In South Dakota yields from
spring wheat are decidedly disap-
pointing, while the weather was
entirely too hot and dry in Mon
tana. Spring wheat harvest has be-
gun in North Dakota, but most Of
the crop is being cut for feed or
fields are being used for grazing.
Corn Crop Poor
In general the corn crop con-
tinued to deteriorate rapidly in
most of the principal producing
sections. Showers were helpful and
the crop shows improvement in
the eastern Ohio Valley, especially
in much of Ohio and parts Of
Indiana, while there was some To-
cal help in Illinois where late
fields still have prospect. In Mis-.
souri, the crop. in general, seems
to be standing up somewhat bet
ter than in 1884, but is most poor
to failure, with much beyond help.
In Texas progress and condition
were mostly good. In Oklahoma
deterioration was rapid. Corn has
been largely destroyed in the
Plains States and much is beyond
recovery in Minnesota.
Iowa Hard Hit
In Iowa weather conditions
have been more trying on corn
than to this time in 1894, and the
crop appears to have suffered
greater damage than in that year.
The week had moderate warmth
in most of the cotton belt, except
for high temperatures in the
northwest portion, in which area
there was practically no rain;
elsewhere light to moderate show
ers were rather general. On the
whole, the weather of the week
was favorable for cotton. except
in the hot, dry northwestern por-
ton.
