Americas Crime Frontier.

1t is by no means compliment to the
law enforcement system of this country
that an extraordinary grand jury in
New York City has returned a report
which, in effect, proposes the creation
of a veritable vigilance committee of
citizens to keep an eye on the efficiency
Of judges and prosecutors and the
processes Of justice. That report, just
returned to a Judge of the State Su-
preme Court, after an exhaustive in
vestigation of the rackets practiced in
the city, urges the organization of a
body of interested and active persons
of high standing in the community. for
four purposes, which are thus recited:
To crystalline civic moral support in the
work of law enforcement; to insure the
provision of adequate protection for cit
izens who testify in criminal cases; to
aid the law enforcement officials in
causing those who now obstruct justice
by withholding essential information to
divulge such information, and to con-
vince business men and others that con-
Germ for their business or their personal
safety need not cause them to hesitate
in assisting the machinery of the law
and that in giving their testimony they
will have adequate protection.
A preceding grand jury referred to
this situation in a report made in De-
cember last, saying: 1--WE have been
shocked by the reluctance of some busi-
ness men, who are victims Of these
racketeers, to give testimony. 1t is an
appalling condition when, in order to
procure the testimony Qf citizens against

An Unseen Issue.

The current political campaign, 1t
seems, involves many unseen issues
problems which do not find expression
in the formal platform pronouncements
of the several parties.
For example, by implication each
voter is being asked to decide whether
or not he wants to be a Santa Claus.
The Federal Government, having adopted
paternaliStic attitude toward certain
so-called "underprivileged" elements in
society, now is in search of underwriters
for the expense of its philanthropic
enterprises. That the very rich cannot
bear the burden unassisted is self-evi-
dent How, then, about the bourgeoiSie?
1t happens that the middle classes in
America are both numerous and reason
ably prosperous. Historically, they have
been the sustaining strength of the Re-
public. They sponsored and conducted
the Revolution-a struggle for freedom
from arbitrary taXation-and they pre-
served the Union in the War between
the States-a struggle for freedom from
the unfair competition" of chattel
slavery. But, even more important, they
represent the basic economic structure
of the Nation; IN their hands is the
bulk of the countryS wealth. They are
the human factor for the production of
money by the application of time and
70 into
gence, to circumstance. With them the
real resources of the United States-the
accumulated savings of millions of indi-
viduals-are correlated.
However the bourgeoisie have been de-
creasing in number and in power. The
depression has driven hundreds of thou
sands of families downward in the eco
nomic scale; it has pushed whole COM
munities below the line of self -suflciency.
And the Roosevelt administration, nat
urally enough in the crisis of 1893,
assumed this business" of relieving their
necessities; they were bracketed with
the professional poor" as objects Of
public charity under brain trust man
agement.
But who is to pay2 The emergency
that was expected to prevail during
only q few months has become per-
manent liability. With twelve million
unemployed, rising birth rate and a
widespread psychology of dependency,
no prophet dares suggest time when
the "underprivileged" are likely to be
able to take care of themselves. Mean
while, the depleted middle classes,
already bowed with responsibility, are
asked to approve a Government policy
of outright doles and boondoggling.
Both New Dealers and practical pro-
gressive" Republicans are committed to
balanced budgets, reduced taxes, con-
tinued relief and social security. If
there is any sensible solvent for such
a tangle, it has yet to be discovered. The
issue, however, is plain; and thoughtful
citizens will wish to consider it. Perhaps
the candidates themselves may give 1t
some attention. The bourgeoisie are
entitled to know their respective views
of the problem.

pletion Of the driveway between the
parks. 1t is not only too narrow to
accommodate the volume of traffic that
has been attracted to this means of
communication between the parks, but
it is so designed as to present a danger
Gus obstacle to the free flow of travel.
There remains to be undertaken another
Improvement, greatly needed as fea-
ture of the connecting parkway, the
provision of means of passing around
the Geological Park in the course OF
travel from the northern boundary of
present the Zoo grounds are closed to
travel after certain hours, and even
when the way is open throughout there
are two fords on the course of travel,
which in times of high water in the
creek make motoring dangerous, II
feasible. Recent surveys have been
made to determine upon practicable
route along the western side of the Zoo
park, perhaps within its boundaries. No
decision has been reached as to the
best course for the bypass thus to be
provided. The problem, however, is not
especially difficult, as there is ample
space for the desired development.
An additional allotment of funds from
the Federal sources is in order to COM
plete this line of travel, which would
give the Capital one of the most attrac-
tive and serviceable driveways to be
found in any city.

The Real Cause of
ZiOncheck's Fate
n the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star;
No doubt the removal of Zioncheck
from the scene will bring feeling OF
relief to many people. But let us not
forget that he, like thousands OF others,
was ruined by liquor. In his earlier days
Zioncheck was a good man, strong and
capable. He was ruined by COM

we derive revenue, and which we permit

fool. but as a sad monument to cruel

Beware.
Oh, the camera man
Is a wonderful chap,
He works catch as catch can
Everywhere on the map.
And whatever you say
With an eloquent smile,
He will give you away
In merciless style.
When you're thinking to wear
An expression so kind
A plain baby stare"
On the picture you find.
When you're laughing with care
Just a sneer you will scan.
So you'd better beware
