In a lone fight against the Japanese, the Celestial empire hasn’t a China's chance. ~© The government is using all those use- less planks in the political platform for the ergation of new boards. * This is the time of year when last June’s bride checks up to decide what kind of a bargain she made.

Public monopoly is far more danger- ous than private monopoly and consider- ably more expensive. For one thing pri- vate monopoly can be regulated and punished, if necessary, by taxation, but public monopoly is untouchable, and_ its losses are shifted to the taxpayer, who has to take it on the chin nolens volens. This column has stated several times that public monopoly is more _unsatisfac- tory and mére dangerous than private| monopoly. The post office department is} a case in point. The service is not as satis- factory as if it were privately conducted, and the department has always been oper- ated at a deficit, notwithstanding Post- master General Farley's statement to the contrary. In proof, there is the 1936 re-/} port of the Post Office Department, which gives the operating deficit of the United States Post Office in the past hundred years as $1,601,569,000, and this huge} sum does not include the enormous amount ! of money spent on the capita! investment | in post offices—land and buildings. These were taken out of other appropriations | and not charged against the Post Office; Department. SUBSCRIPTION RATES a | ‘ecoroner’s jury of Cook county after SHOULD WE BUILD BATTLESHIPS? The Italians are now building two 35,000-ton battleships, which will be the last word in naval construction for about a year after their completion, when they will be surpassed by newer ships. France has two such giant battleships coming along, Great Britain is pushing work on others and Germany is understood to have one in process of building. News is that Japan may build as ‘many as four battleships to augment her navy. . Under such conditions there are peo- te who argue that the United States should disarm, leaving battleship building to other nations and trust to their peace- ful intentions in regards to this hemis- phere. Even if there is some doubt as to just how potent the peaceful intentions of Germany, Italy and Japan might be these cheerful ones insist that maybe Great Britain and France will protect us out of self-interest, if for no other reason. We do not share the optimism of these pacific-minded brothers and sisters. The only thing that will make some nations re- spect the territory and rights of the United States is the power that this country may have to protect itself. We are strong for peace but the best way to insure it is to be able to make war unprofitable for those who.might have an idea that they can find “pickings” on this side of the Atlantic ocean. KILLS SON D SELF Convinced that his son, a_ college student, was suffering from an incurable malady, a Seattle, Wash. doctor shoots the boy in a “mercy” killing and then turns the gun on himself, inflicting a fatal wound. There is, of course, the tragedy of the father’s suffering as he reachés the con- clusion that his son is afflicted with an in- curable disease and doomed to a life of suffering. There is greater grief, how- ever, when he concludes that he will kill the youth and, as a matter of good faith, end his own life at the same time. More poignant, in the case, is the re- port that friends and relatives did not agree with the doctor’s opinion that’ the boy’s condition was hopeless and the pos- sibility that the double killing was the re- sult of an erroneous conclusion on the part of the father. This illustrates, very forcibly, the danger of permitting “mercy slay- ings” by law and the necessity of many safeguards if they are legalized for dis- patch of victims of incurable disease, who would otherwise suffer to no end. TWO VERDICTS AND THEN—? the in- vestigating the deaths of ten men in the Memorial Day riot in South Chicago. Force “far in excess of that which the occasion required” is the verdict of Sen- ators La Follette and Thomas, of the Sen- ate sub-committee, which investigated the affair. hich is the right conclusion the pub- Nl find it hard to ascertain. Certainly, will be no disagreement with the tement that such killings should not “Justifiable “homicides” says happen and that efforts must be made to prevent them from happening in the future. There are several factors involved in our attempt to prevent such slayings. Com- panies should not be permitted to hire and arm their own police for use in labor dis- putes.» Strikers should not be allowed to use physical force in seeking their ends or to violate law withtimpunity. The police | forces should be patient in the face of pro- vocation but ready to use force, if neces- sary, to uphold the superior rights of the public, SAVING LIVES Simple, everyday accidents home and on the farm took 35,000 in the lives j last year, according to Labert. St. Clair, who says two precautions would reduce | this death toll very much. First, better lighting on dark sale: ways and places where people may stumble | or hit things and, secondly, the floors’ should be “tidied up” by removing toys, ) straightening rugs and placing ehincts | against the wall, out of the way of people. | These are simple suggestions but they | might save lives in Key West if they xed | taken seriously.
