Sunday afternoon he was America’s phantom gangster with the blood of many on his hands. His very name was enough to strike terror to the hearts of residents in the tiniest hamlet in the land. On Sunday aft- ernoon Dillinger was an important and to some a glamorous figure. Sunday night he was only a bul- Jet-torn hulk. The hands which once held death-spitting machine guns were cold and lifeless.

Answering the quite general ques- tion of “what if the vould-be legis- lature did get a quorum in the sen- ate?” L. L. Twichell Monday outlined a situation which might have resulted and which certainly might have caused governmental complications of a kind new in the United States. Had the senate obtained a quorum, thereby giving a faint tinge of legal- ity to the so-called legislative pro- ceedings, the house could have im- peached Acting Governor Olson, Sec- retary of State Byrne and four jus- tices of the supreme court in a mat- ter of five minutes, Mr, Twichell speculated. Such action would throw into ques- tion two things, one being that of gubernatorial succession which, in the constitution, is not listed beyond sec- retary of state; the second that of whether judges who had been im- peached by the so-called legislature might sit in judgment on the ques- tion of whether the whole business was illegal. Twichell's opinion is that the four judges who might be impeached would hold they were not incapacitat- ed by the action of an illegal legis- lative assembly but that Justice George 8. Moeliring, the Langer ap- pointee, might so contend and, as the only judge not facing charges, call in judges favorable to Langer to decide the issue. Such a kangaroo court, he suggest- ed, might easily determine that the best way to solve the accompanying tangle of gubernatorial succession would be to grant a re-hearing in the ouster case against Langer and restore him to office. The inevitable result of such a situation, he opined, might be to cause the intervention of the United States government to uphold the processes of law and order. Two things operate to substantiate the idea that Langer’s supporters might well have had such a weird Procedure in mind. The first is the character of Mr. Twichell, Whatever his enemies may say of him, no one charges him with lack of skill in estimating either ® legislative or a political situation. For many years he has been regarded by friend and foe alike as the ableat member of the state assembly. That fact gives weight to his observations. ‘The second factor is the manner in which the Langer supporters have carefully avoided a court test of the legality of the so-called legislative Proceedings. One splendid opportunity came Saturday when Senator C. W. Fine was taken forcibly into the legisla- tive chambers. Before a writ of ha- beas corpus could be asked, Senator Fine was freed, thereby avoiding the issue of whether the senate were Jegally in session. If it were, there could be no question of the right to compel attendance. Another was offered Monday when Mr. Twichell himself faced down Representative W. J. Flannigan, Langer whip, and a gigantic ser- geant-at-arms, Answering Flannigan’s proposal to take Twichell to the house chamber by force, the latter said he would re- sist physically and asked only that he be given time to notify his lawyer, who would institute habeas corpus Proceedings in his behalf. Thereupon half a million dollars. It is improb- able that he was anywhere near “broke” when he was shot. Yet the possession of money failed to deflect the bullets which cut him down. As gangsters go, Dillinger was, in many respects, the greatest of them all. Yet he could not cope with the forces which society arrayed against him. When he embarked on his career of crime the hands of honest men were turned against him. For months his daring ventures were suc- cessful and, for a while, it looked as though he were immune. But when he least expected it retribution came. It may be trite to point the moral that crime doesn’t pay. Yet Dilling- er’s death proves the truth of the old adage with inescapable force, just as does Al Capone's presence in the federal prison at Atlanta. Young men and women who feel the lure of easy money obtained by unlawful means might study Dil- linger’s case carefully before charting their course. If they choose the s0- called “easy” path they should note the inevitable consequences. Few of them can hope to do any better than this Indiana desperado. They should include in the prospect a term in pri- son and, if the course is persistently held, untimely death either through the process of legal execution or at the guns of law-enforcement officers. The public rejoices at Dillinger’s death. It lifts a pall from the en- tire nation. It is an achievement as well as a lesson.

STIFF CREAKY JOINTED MAMMAS A fan sends a message which all you girls around forty had better hear: “I'm ao delighted with the results Of the ‘Last Brady Symphony.’ I can't thank nough. ter.” Doing all the exercises only once or twice at first neither frightens us softies nor makes us sore. “I do wish you could somehow per- ‘suade all listless, lifeless Dumb Doras to begin your Symphony. After one month of it they would never again be stiff, creaky jointed mammas... (Mrs, M. H. R.)” Back before the war I composed a value to most sedentary adults who; were inclined to go flabby and stale ‘and described them in my column and also in a pamphlet which was widely distributed, usually without charge. I not only prescribed this medicine but took it myself. Then a shrewd merchant saw a chance to commer- cialize the idea, and after the war the country was well sold on these exer- cises under a catchy name and the sponsorship of a gentleman who had long been known as a writer on and hence an “authority” on sports or, athletics.

Indeed, if a business man or woman can afford to walk from three to six miles daily, say to and from work, he or she needs no other exercise to keep fit. Wage slaves who have to ride to and from work are the ones who must put in at least ten minutes daily at calisthenics of one kind or another in order to retain the appear- ance of youthfulness and a fair de- gree of vigor or pep.

Japan Must Decide (New York Herald-Tribune) It {s authoritatively announced from Tokio that Japan is unprepared as yet to enter the preliminary discus- sions of naval questions now going forward in London, and will ask that they be deferred at least until Octo- ber. Obviously, Japan cannot be required to take part in these discus- sions if she does not wish to; it is a little difficult to see, however, what she can hope to gain by delay. De- lay will certainly relieve the Japanese government from the necessity of making up its mind. It must decide whether it wishes to retain the ad- vantages of the treaty structure at some sacrifice of its more recent as- pirations, or whether these latter are so important to it as to warrant throwing the treaty system into the discard. So far, Japanese policy has apparently been based upon the idea that all the advantages of the treaty structure can be retained, while all the new desires which conflict with it can be satisfied. This is not realism. ‘The choice must be made; and merely waiting hopefully for some- necessity. Nothing will turn up to al- ter this situation; indeed, the very delay merely tends to force the situa- tion, The Japanese inability even to enter preliminary discussions becomes itself a new factor in the problem. It Presents a situation to which Ameri- can and British policy must be ad- justed. If the Japanese cannot ne- gotiate, a continuation of the treaty system becomes more difficult by that, much, and the two other partners in the treaty system are unavoidably driven a step farther toward joint col of their position in case the treaties fail. A further question, moreover, is bound to arise. It is the London nav- all treaty of 1930 which imposes those restrictions on auxiliary tonnage which Japan is now most anxious to escape. Unless it is renewed, this treaty lapses automatically in 1936. The Washington treaty of 1922, on the other hand, contains the restrictions upon Pacific fortification and upon battleship and aircraft carrier ton- nage which afford Japan her princi- pal safeguards, and this treaty will continue in force after 1936 unless thing to turn up will not postpone the | agents.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Spiders in the Basement During the summer we have many small spiders in the basement, and very small ants in the kitchen. How may we keep the house free from these peste? (W.

Send a dime and stamped en- |velope bearing your address and ask for the booklet “Unbidden Guests.” It tells you how to eradicate ants, ‘skeeters, files, cockroaches, bedbugs or what have you.

If the removal of the teeth eradicat- ed the source of your trouble, you'll recover good health without further treatment. Of course your diet needs special care and you should have your physician's bho fd this.
