Corruption.

The Women's Civic Council OF Chicago
has charged that Cook County judge,
candidate for reelection two weeks
hence, has "wantonly and corruptly cer-
titled to and directed payment of
amounts in excess of six million dollars
Of public funds to his relatives, personal
friends and political henchmen" A
careful investigation of appraisers fees
in more than eleven thousand inheri-
tance tax cases, it is alleged, has shown
that the jurist appointed as competent
persons to estimate the value of estates
in dispute such dependents as his
law, his secretary, his personal
clerks and his chauffeur, not to mention
number of persons whose occupations
hardly suited them for such work.
1t was explained that the judge has
occupied his seat on the bench for six
teen years and that his position ranks
second only to the mayoralty as the
prize political plum in Americas second
largest city" But it likewise should be
made clear that the fault in the circum-
stances is not exclusively that of the
judge. The law under which he operated
is in drastic need of correction. It was
so loosely written as to invite the un-
worthy Interpretation it has received.
The phrase competent persons" for
example, means nothing definite. The
judge employed the freedom which the
statute gave him to profit his relatives
and retainers.
But the evil now disclosed In Cook

2. Meat and eggs.
It took the Nation util about 1910 to
begin to introduce frtt into either Of
these menus.
Once that good had cen attained, the
Nation rested, and hal been content to
dare no more.
Those things are breakfast, aren't
they?
The real he-Americl combines them
all, In order to be ongood terms with
his stomach, as he folly imagines.

The time may com however, when
he simply senses thateverything is not
as it should be.

"0ive me q packagdDf bulk" he says
to the druggist, but he latter worthy
simply snaps back, "Qrrots."
There Ia no pleasini anybody on the
subject. 1t isn't just lecessary to have
bulk at one meal, bS all during the
day. 50 that the amahg length Of the
familiar alimentary c4al can be liber-
ally sprinkled with bull hour after hour.
Even the most arden advocate of bulk
seems to be satisfied With enough for
three meals day. Tn famous square
meal comes at night but usually this
is SO buttressed with mats and starchy
foods that there is lite room left for
vegetables, as sincere 4 ones determi-
nation in regard to then may be.

1t is like stepping onpnholy ground,
that first platter of veetable soup at
breakfast.
Again. why not?
Breakfast is a meal, fsst +?
Is there any law stating the foods
which may or may not be eatn at it?
In some States, one understands, they
even eat pie for breakfast.
The force Of custom Is such spowerful
thing that few consumers will ,ave the
determination to carry them cry far
in this wholesome experiment.
Yet for the determined sot, who
shrinks from cereal, and who loesn't
dig bitches to work up the appete for
meat, the idea has its appeal.
The whole marvellous repertoire the
vegetable world is his to command How
marvellous this world is often isfor-
gotten. There are a great many lore

Jersey Justice.

II there's anything new in the line OF
justice, New Jersey authorities will pro-
vide it. They did last week. James F..
Burkett, jailed for six months by the
Frank Hague organization for attempt
Ing to make an open-a speech in Jer-
sey City without a permit, was delib-
erately and with malice aforethought
thrown out of jail whole day ahead
of time. 1t is doubtful even II Russia,
Germany, Italy, or Japan could furnish
such an instance of oppressive unfairness.
Mr. Burkett's friends claim that the oust-
ing was done to disrupt plans for his
scheduled triumphant entry into Jersey
City under the auspices of the Hudson
County Committee for Labor Defense and
Civil Rights. The warden says that Burk-
ett'S time was up, SO he was let out-and
that's all there is to it. In any event,
there was no triumphal entry into Jersey
City, and Mr.. Burkett was forced to
perform the somewhat difficult feat of
hitch-hiking there from Secaucus, his
temporary domicile.
This Is no sort of reward for honest
effort. 1t is difficult in these times to
make plans that really assure six
months food and lodging. Most find it
impossible. The undaunted Mr.. Burkett,
however, was enough of rugged indi-
vidualist to accomplish it, by the simple
process of daring to try to make a
speech without Mayor Hague's O.. K.
Others may have thought of it, but
Burkett did 1t, thus acquiring six months
of social security to which he was en-
titled by the laws of Jersey City-that
Is, until the jailers cruelty thrust him
upon the outside world ahead of time.
Or did they? No one can TELL because
Burkett has no papers to prove his claim
that he was entitled to remain another
day as a guest.
This could be easily remedied. Each
tenant of the State should be given a
lease with the expiration date shown
clearly. The ordinary landlord tenant
agreement provides for termination of
the contract If the tenant behaves
badly, but it could be altered to the ex-
act opposite SO that the Jail tenancy
would be shortened by an excess of good
behavior. Then If the tenant didn't
want it so, he could take steps. Further
more, the automatic renewal clause
might be employed, especially adapted
to prison conditions. Thus, If the State S
client found that he was in a good Jail
and getting the right kind of service, he
could first decide how much of an ex-
tension he wanted, and then break what
ever prison rule would guarantee just
that much. AS matters stand now. there
is no uniformity or certainty.

Deplores Fact Lindbergh
Accented German Decoration.

To the Editor of The Star
Now that Lindbergh has joined Ford
in accepting token of esteem from
Germany the United States has lost two
of its most famous sons as far as respect
and honor to them is concerned. These
two men accepted a medal which is the
symbol for rule by terror and racial
prejudice. Yet these men wear the
medals with pride; they even aid Ger
many in many ways. Ford is making
the German automobile for the masses,
the "Volkswagon." Lindbergh is inform
ing the world to beware of Germany's
strength in the air. This is certainly q
fine state of affairs for two Americans
who typify inventive genius and the
pioneering instinct attributed to the in
habitants of America to be In.
Germany knows that it will eventually
benefit by having these two men as
friends. They realize that Lindbergh is
a power in aviation circles and that Ford
is the leading manufacturer of motor
cars in the world. The Germans aren't
asleep; when they cannot accomplish
something by themselves they call in
the people who they will eventually op-
press and persecute. Why should Ger
many be SO gracious to foreigners un-
less there is something in it for them
selves?
am surprised and chagrined at Lind
bergh, who until last night was my
aviation hero No. one Now he is q
symbol of the Nazis and will think of
him as the man who helped Czecho-
slovakia's betrayal by Chamberlain by
soaring the world in reference to Ger
many's air might. I hope that he will
have change of heart and renounce
the medal. hope that he will come to
his senses and realize that he is menac-
ing his land of birth by aiding the Nazis

''Sit.DOwn" Strikes.

A case involving an employer -employe
controversy which may play an i'm
portant part in determining the outcome
of current efforts to amend the Wagner
Labor Relations Act has been submitted
to the Supreme Court for decision at
this term. The important question in
volved is whether the act empowers the
National Labor Relations Board to
compel an employer to rehire employees
who engaged in sit-down strike and
seized his plant
The order requiring unemployment of
the workers was issued against the Fan
steel Metallurgical Co. of Chicago after
the board decided the strike and seizure
Of the plant followed a refusal on the
part of the company to recognize and
bargain with union of its employees
The case was taken to the Supreme
Court by the board after the Seventh
Circuit Court had refused to enforce
the order.
Assuming the Labor Board was correct
In it's finding that the company was
guilty of an unfair labor practice in
refusing to bargain with the union the
question then arises whether the en-
ployes, by resorting to the illegal sit
down strike instead of following the
orderly procedure prescribed in the
Wagner Act, forfeited their right to the
protection that legislation was designed
to give them.
The Labor Board poses that question
equarely in its brief, asserting that 'if
employe misconduct terminates their
status as employees under the act" the
board would be prevented from issuing
remedial orders in large and important
industrial field which Congress intended
to place under its jurisdiction.
Should the Supreme Court agree with
that contention, there will be no argu-
ment left for friends of the Wagner
Act to advance against the contention
Of Its opponents that it is unreasonably
weighted In favor Of labor and against

After the Ball Is Over.

Fall of Canton seems to have spurred
Japan into variety of maneuvers. not
to say excesses, which disclose her in
the role of conqueror of China, although
Hankow is not yet in the invaders hands.
During the recent week end six high
powered navy bombing planes attacked
that British gunboat Sandpiper at
Changsha, two hundred miles from Ham
kow, presumably after the high COM
mands warning to neutral craft to avoid
the Yangtze war zone.
About the same time the japanese at
Shanghai were refusing clearance papers
to S. s. President Coolidge of the Dollar
Line, and refusing to grant them even
on the American Consul Generals rep
resentation that the ship is the property
OF the United States Maritime Commits
sion. No full explanation is Forthcoming
as to either the unprovoked attack on
the British gunboat or for the holding
up of the Pacific liner. Certain only
thus far is that action in both cases
seemed to foreign observers as high
handed and utterly unjustifiable.
Yesterday, while London and Washing
ton were waiting to have the Sandpiper
and President Coolidge incidents cleared
up, Toxic spoke In imperious terms re-
specting certain postwar plans. A
statement emanating from government
sources voiced Japan's determination to
hold China indefinitely under military
occupation and compel her to "co-
operate with the Island Empire in all
vital matters latter the war is ended"
The declaration was made in antici-
patton Of Hankow's early fall and re-
fleets Tokio's belief that the capture of
Chiang's capital would end the purely
military phase of the conquest and per-
init cessation Of further offensive opera
tions by the Mikados forces.
That, In the light of the invaders ex-
perience in China, is a most optimistic
expectation. 1t belongs. definitely in the
category Of wishful thinking 1t has
been estimated by neutral military au-
thorities, that inclusive OF the Man
chukuan army. Japan has thrown no
fewer than 100000 troops into China
since July, 1887. Probably the imperial
forces now operating in the country are
in the neighborhood of 1000 900 men.
They Occ,lnv enormOus Stretrhas of tar
ritory, measurable only in hundreds of
thousands Of square miles; but 1t is
doubtful If they hold a single province
with anything describable as complete
security. Their lines of communication
are under incessant harassment by we'll
equipped Chinese guerrilla bands.
Everywhere the civilian population,
though cowed, is sullen and belligerent.
The life Of no individual Japanese SOL
dier is safe. Military experts believe that
to hold China indefinitely under mill
tary occupation as Toxic now bull
letins, would entail permanent Japa-
nese garrison of close to 10000 men.
Can Nippon stand such strain for
any length of time? While she and the
outside world ponder that question, 1t is
permissible to suspect that Japan's latest
pronunciamento is designed to bluff
Chang into submission and surrender
before more OF the islands life and
treasure are poured out before Hankow.
