ON SECOND THOUGHT
The mighty Fields. who lives
alone in a mansion where the liv-
ing room is furnished with a grand
piano, a pool table. and nothing
else, said he guessed on second
thought it would be okay to print
the fact that he is no longer the
diStillers bost individual customer,
he said there was some doubt
whether the people he called names
c-uld read newspapers anyway.
But I am glad my poor father
isn't alive, Fields said. After
getting cut Of jail for picking poe
ket7, he turned bartender, and
spent the rest Of his life drink
ing up the profits. The old gentle
man would turn over in his grave
could he see the sad end of his
only son"
Fields said that all the money
and the years he spent drinking
Whiskey left him disgusted. He
never could get drunk. He turned
t. rum and pineapple juice. This
made him fat. He switched to mar
TIM cocktails in water tumblerS.
He even hired a night Watchman SO
he could have a drinking partner
every four a m.
THE FIRST MISTAKE
But I remained sober" he said.

Too Much Stress
Put on Theory,
Lovett Says

The clergymen of Detroit must
take a large share of the response
bility for graft among city officials
because of their failure to produce
men who consider ii a religious
duty to serve in public office.
William p. Lovett, director of the
Detroit Citizens League, charged
today.
"Our present system OF city
government Is entirely satisfac-
tory" Lovett said. There Is no
need to attempt to improve II.
INSTEAD, we must seek better
candidates for public office. Men
OF high moral integrity must be
persuaded that II Is their religi-
Gus duty TO serve their city or
their state or their federal
government honestly and well,
regardless Of the pay.
81 regret to say that the clergy
Of this city have failed to con-
vince their followers of this
obligation. Because of this failure
they must assume a large meas
ure of the responsibility for graft
and corruption In our city gov
eminent"
SAYS STRESS MISPLACED
Religious leaders have placed
too much stress on theory, philos-
ophy, doctrine and creed" and have
failed to apply their teachings to
the needs of the community,
Lovett charged.
at does no good for the clergy
of this city TO be shocked by
our political scandal" he said.
"What they must do Is get out
and zee II they cannot produce
men who will guarantee Detroit
an honest administration"
Despite grand jury findings, De-
troit is still a clean" city. with
one of the finest systems of city
government in the United States,
Lovett declared.
1.-THE fact that we are cleaning
our own house with our own
grand Jury IL a testimony to
Detroit's honesty" he said. I'VE
didn't have TO wait for Uncle
Sam TO do II for us, rs did sew
eral other cities In the country.
I'VE are going TO work our
selves out Of this mess and
perhaps the whole affair will
result in q greater interest In
government by the people OF
Detroit, and that is what we
need most"
No temptation is as hard 10
resist as the combination OF poll
tics and money. Lovett continued.
"Persons who are 100 per cent
honest In every other walk OF
life will be dishonest when they
get In a political position" he
said. somehow they do not
seem to consider that stealing
from the general public IL as bad
as stealing from an individual.
OTHER STANDARDS
at should not be assumed.
however. that the moral stand
ards In private business are
higher than they are in politics.
II anything, they are probably
much lower.
"ln private industry dis
honesty Is not only condoned.
but often appIauded. Too often
the public does not judge a man
by how he made his money. but
by how much he made-honestiy
or dishonesty.
THE same thing Is carried
over into the field of govern
ment, and II Is sometimes amaz-
ing to me that there IL not far
more graft and theft among our
public officials and city en-
pIoyes."
