(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, LEVINGS & BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON A Peace-Time Hero “Scarface” Al Capone, king of gangsters and a czar whose sentences of death could not be appealed, has been ordered to serve 11 years in » prison and America has a new peace- time hero in Federal Judge James Wilkerson, who imposed the penalty. Not in this generation has a court been watched with the same intense interest which has been generated ty this trial in Chicago. Never before, in the modern history of the nation hhas there been so much excitement about a trial for an offense other, than murder. We have to go back to the Hall-Mills murder case in New Jersey 10 years ago, or to the Harry K. Thaw murder case a generation ago, to find another trial in a court of law which has been given so much publicity. One reason for this, perhaps, is the fact that the American system of government was on trial at Chicago almost as much as was Capone. It was @ direct test of the question! whether the government of the Unit- ed States or the powers of the under- world were to rule in the second city of the nation. Had Capone gone free, it would have been a severe blow to good government everywhere. It would have meant encouragement to; gangsters and racketeers everywhere to intensify exploitation of their “business.” — To the jurors, of course, goes the credit for the conviction. In the Ca- pone case 12 Americans risked their lives and the lives of members of their family by the simple perform- ance of their duties as citizens. They are entitled to full credit for their demonstration of manliness and pa- triotism. In the fullest sense of the word, they are peace-time patriots. But Judge Wilkerson carries off the lion’s share of the honors. By cutting through the red tape which can surround cases in any court, he has made himself a hero in all the land. The sentence imposed, while twice as severe as any ever before meted out in a tax-evasion trial, the offense with which Capone was charged, will win the approbation of all good Americans. Most of us prob- ebly feel that, had we been in the judge's place, the penalty would have been heavier. But 11 years is long enough to serve ample warning that the gangster “business” can really be made dangerous by the government as well as by rival underworld fac- tions. For Judge Wilkerson to deny bail! pending appeal was both good gov- ernment and good policy. Had bail been granted, we should have had the spectacle of a convicted man loll- ing at ease on his Florida estate and laughing at the government while it|}the League has nothing to do wit! attempted to complete the job of| the Kellogs pact. sending him to prison. .20| give their full share to folks who are 00| vegetables which will do much to by drouth and other forms of adver- sity. To date there have been no appra's of “give ’till it hurts” such as were heard during the war, but many are doing so, nevertheless. Members of the teams which are making the Red Cross and Commu- nity Chest solicitation in Bismarck {and Burleigh county can tell and arc telling stories of incidents which have come to their attention. In more cases than could be conveniently ; mentioned, men are pinching them- jSelves and their families in order to less fortunate than they. Indications are that, if the job is | finished as well as it was begun, the |solicitation in this county will be successful. Reports from other pacts of the state indicate that a similar spirit prevails elsewhere, Persons who cannot give money have contributed potatoes and other keep the wolf away from thousands of doors in the drouth area this win- ter. Down in the Red River Valley, children have been excused from school to pick potatoes which other- wise would have rotted in the ground. because of low prices. The tubers are being shipped, without freight charges, to the district where they can do the most good. Not since the war has there been such coordination of forces and such: whole-hearted support for a public cause as we are seeing now. Whether we realize it or not, we are seeing right now a demonstration of the fact that the American people can solve their own problems; that they are not insensible to cries for help from their fellow beings. ‘The proof lies in the fact that’ this big peace-time job is being done. The Fur Will Fly Last session of congress it was the tariff and this time it will be taxes. One faction, composed largely of Democrats but aided by Senator Watson, Republican senate leader,| wants to let things alone. Another group, apparently led by the president, is in favor of doing something to get the income in line with the expenditures. Indications are the administration favors a sales tax on non-essentials A third group, also composed of Democrats and some Republicans, wants to whoop up the income and inheritance taxes. With such a three-sided alignment, it appears that plenty of fur will fly in Washington this winter. The tariff is interesting but it hardly is as personal as taxes. That is a subject which hits every citizen right smack in the hip-pocket—and how he feels the blow. Indications are that the tariff fight! will be just a little love spat when compared to the tax battle now; ahead. It is too early to lay any beta as yet, but tie sales-tax plan seems to have the edge. Of all the schemes which could be devised to aid the | treasury it probably is the most pain- | Jess.

I just asked!” the Star reporter replied. The reporter, whose name was Bowen, turned away toward the stairs, “Well, I'll just run up and see how Bill's making out. I'd like to get a look at that necklace my- self. No objection?” “Go ahead.” They had all gone and Mary found herself alone with Mr. Jupi- ter in the lbrary. She got up and went over and sat down beside Mr. Jupiter in front of the fire, “Mr. Jupiter, there’s something I must tell you—" He looked up vaguely, as if be- coming aware of her for the first time. Seeing the suffering in that lined face, Mary's heart failed her. “Eh? Oh, yes.” He smiled and roused. himself,. “I know—you're going to leave us. Well, we ex- pected that. But we didn’t think it would be so soon. You and Dirk going to get married right off?” “No, no!” Mary assured him em- Dhatically, much to her own sur- prise. “Not for a long time yet.” He looked utterly bereft; what else could she have said? He was staring into the fire again, His face was working, like that of a child who is trying hard not to cry. Sick with pity, Mary looked away, “It's not the same without her, fs it, child?” he said sadly. Dr. Jordan’s words flashed into her mind. Taking a deep breath, plunged ahead. ‘Mr. Jupiter, last night my—I had a telephone call from my brother. I haven't seen him for quite a long time. He called me up during the party, and—” coe H's face was turned politely to- ward her, but she knew he was not listening, “That so? How's he getting on?” He was making an effort to be in- terested. But to her own ears she sounded like a fearful fool, chat- tering of her own affairs at such a time. “I'm afrald he’s in trouble, Mr. Jupiter. I don’t know what, but T'm afraid it's pretty bad.” (“An amateur—a bungler!” She must not think about that!) “Well,’ the flat old voice replied lifelessly, “nothing that a few dol- lars won't fix, I guess, He'll come out all right, Few things in the world that a few dollars won't fix.” “Oh, it isn’t that! But I asked him here—and he hasn't come. I don’t know where he is, I’ve been —pretty worrled—” How to tell him! Here she was going ‘round and ‘round the subject, and not say- ing what she meant to say at all. “Don't do it!” he barked at her. “Don't do it! It's not a woman's Place to worry about a man.

He isn’t 21 yet.” She hadn't thought of it before but now it came to her that whatever Eddie had been up to, his punishment would be tem- pered for him—he was still a minor in the eyes of the law. “I'm sorry to see you go, now more than ever,” Mr. Jupiter. re- sumed, Eddie did not interest him much; ‘he was of a different stripe from his sister, and he had never cared much about the boy. “I'll tell you, if it wasn't for this Dirk of yours—we had plans about you, Mama and I. I don’t know but she'd like them carried out any- way, now 8] gone and can’t at- tend to it herself.” Mary had no idea of what was coming; as he continued, her amasement grew. “We always wanted a daughter, and after Bruce went away, and you came, Mama used to say how nice it was to have a young girl in the house, “Of course, Bruce will marry some day; but then we never see as-much of Bruce as we'd like to.” The shadow of a very real bitter- ness crossed his face. “No, that might not happen anyway in our lifetime, and like as not it would be one of those foreign women he’s always writing about. No, we thought we wouldn’t wait for that. We had you here, and liked you, and we thought we'd just adopt you, Now, what would you have said to that?” It was like a fairy-tale come true. She found herself laughing and cry- ing at once, “It would have been wonderful! Perfectly wonderful!” “Yes—well,” he said, pleased as & child, “we'll have to see about it when all this fs over. Things are pretty bad right now. But you mustn’t let it worry you, or change your plans a jot. Bruce'll be along any day now. I dare say there'll be an answer to my cable before the day’s over, and when he comes he'll brighten things up a bit.” Mary ‘tried to believe that this was 80 but could only reflect bitter- ly on what she had heard of the dent Braz sanctioned the act by ‘Of-; the renewed Austro-German offen- ficial proclamation.

But Spence when he came had nothing to report. The old man sank back. “I suppose there's hasn't been time.’ eee LTHOUGH she had never seen him, Mary’s heart was hard- ened against him, It was plain to see how much his parents missed him, how puzzled they were by his continued absence. Now she tried to soften the blow for the old man, “He may be out of town.” “Well, he’s no business to be!” he snapped. Instead of soothing him, the suggestion seemed to anger him. ‘Whether his grievance was justi- fled or not, it was exceedingly bit- ter.

For as Mary mounted the stairs to go to her own room she was surprised to hear voices on the landing, one of them the maid’s. “Don’t you know any movie di- rectors, honest?” she was saying. “Gee, I thought newspapermen knew everybody there is!” The voice of Bowen, the Star's reporter, replied wearily, “No, 1 don’t, and if I did, what of it? Listen, sister, I've got an edition to catch. If you've got anything to tell me, let’s have it and forget the Hollywood stuff. Come on, what's it all about?” “Will you put my picture in the paper?” “Sure, sure. Out with it.” The reporter moved down a'step. Time was short and he did not believe the girl had anything of import- ance to reveal. “We—ll,” she lowered her voice to a whisper just as Mary hurried up the steps. “Oh, Bessie,” Mary interrupted coolly, “Spence is looking every- where for you.
