Doty asked a youth about the char- acter of the suspicious bundle he was carrying the fellow ran, and upon being pursued, fired a gun, wounding the officer. There are some such “low-down critters” who will place the life of a man in jeopardy rather than take their chances upon saying ‘“good morning” to the judge. It is this type of gunmen who deserves and will get little comsideration in this city. The mere fact that such pseudo-crooks carry guns will make it go harder with them when arrest- ed. Such_jncidents never swerve good policemen from being less reluctant to do their duty. It anything, the bluecoats will be more than ever de- termined to rid the city of the type. The incident in Walnut Hill park, in which supposed bootleggers got away when Patrolman John Liebler refrained from using his gun, pur- suant to an order of the police com- missioners, doubtless will lead many to believe that an effective display of tirearms would have been more to the pecint. However, the officer was entirely correct in refraining from using his gun, not knowing at the time that an offense had been committed. Policemen cannot shoot men on suspicion, although no in- nocent man need run away from & policeman. Officers are bound by the law and by orders, although there arc times when it would seem essential that every means be taken to stop suspicious characters when they take flight. If there are too many of such suspicious characters in town the police commission un- doubtedly will take more efficient means to discourage them. The reason underlying the popu- larity of illegal liquor business was perhaps unwittingly brought to the attention of the police by one An- thony Vidutis, a youth who called at the police station with the re- quest that he be given “protection” in selling lquor, according to the chlef. Sergeant Ellinger hit the nail on the head when he told the youth to go to vork. It is this desire to escape work and a pay-envelope that does not compare with the profits of a suc- cessful liquor dispenser that evi- dently causes many ablebodied men to take to the latter means of mak- ing a livelihood. These fellows take stock of the economic situation and | declde to go into a business offering quick returns—provided the net of the blueccats can be avoided. Many evidently are willing chance. One, it is apparent, was so sophisticated about it that he thought the police could be barred from interfering by the production of “protection.” Nothing of the sort, of course, can bs tolerated for a moment in this city. Amateur liquor dispensers got 800d advice when the police ad- vised this fellow to go to work. That holds gocd for the remainder. If net now, it will ba work in the work house. THIRD-TERM OPPOSITION From the chaste columns of The Independent we learn that the op- position to a third term is “emo- tional,” and that in these TUnited States nothing succeeds like emo- tion. “While the present definitely to be toward four miore vears of Coolidge,” says this publi- cation, “we suspeet he will have a harder getting over the third-term hurdle than most peopls The third-term issue is an emotional one, and any emo- tional question can snowball into huge proportions in a very brief time."” Just now the busy to do much talking; maybe they are merely thinking. If crop prices do not improve they will be heard from later. Their emotions are easily worked up, especially when crop prices are bad. T third-tegma ogie iz somethirg to got drift seems time now suspect, farmers are too to take this | vastly excited about if the Demo- | crats know how to whip up the ex- citement. It may be only one issue of many, but it is an important one upon which to hook the others. It is very hard to think that Cool- idge can succeed where Grant and Roosevelt failed; it is hard to realize he might go out after something that George Washington refrained from taking. But men nowadays may not be like they were in the old days. Evemr presidents may not be the same. RAILROAD PROSPERITY The decreased earnings of the New Haven railroad and the Boston & Maine reflect a slowing up transportation In New England. Less raw materials, less coal, few- er passengers are being hauled; the of retrenchment to hold down ex- penses. ‘When this information became publie we compared it with the earnings of certain other eastern trunk lines, two of them showing an increase and the third approximately .!flnr!ing still. And we naturally ask- |ed why. Comes the information that Rock Island railroad, which exte: west from Chicago, has experiene the greatest four months in its his- tory; last year the period brought a virtual deficit; this year there is considerably in excess of a mlllfon in profits. We are still inclined to ask why, but cannot find the answer. the THE MURDER TRIAL Such a cold-blooded recital of cold-blooded facts never took place in the history of courts. Of course, this refers to the Snyder-Gray mur- der trial taking place in New York City. The state ia trying to hang the |couple, and much co-operation is being shown by the pair in their frenzied attempts to blacken each other in the eyes of the law. Both admit taking part heinous murder of the differing only in details calculated to show degrees of culpability. Thelr lawyers are hamstrung with the gargantuan task of saving their lives iA the face of the terrible dis- closures. Few lawyers are ever con- fronted with such problems. The law is almost universal that he who participates in a crime is equally as guilty as the person who actually committed it. On this principle three carbarn bandits re- cently were executed in Massachu- setts, It is difficult to see how either the woman or the man in the New | York case can profit from painting | each other black while attempting |to modify thelr own degree of par- ticipation. This is 2 day of equal rights for women; also equal responsibility; and equal guilt in a murder and equality of punishment. It has been a long time since a woman was electrocuted in New York. The chances for another are advancing the longer these two weaklings talk about each other. in the AND POWER RIGHTS Political Washington is now of the opinion that something definite will have to be done by the next Congress for flood prevention along the Mississippi river. The demand will be insistent; congressmen, re- gardless of their desire to practice economy, will have to agrec to the inevitable. The end will be a good one; the only black cloud on the horizon is, how is this end to be at- tained? Engineers know how to harness the Mississippl river so that a flood an impossibility in the future. Given as thorough a job as the eye of man would wish. It would eost money—millions of moncy—but it would be moncy well spent. Not a congressman Wil object on this ore.

The pros and cons about this naturally would create one of those stirs in Congress which bring !about delays. The government has | been unable to decide what to do with Muscle Shoals, after ten years of effort; what might be expected from a much greater power possi- | bility along the Mississippi river. Ask any power utility man and he will admit the “threat” of the gov- ernment golng into the power bus- iness on a vast scale is the greatest menace to the industry in certain sections of the country. They oppose the Boulder dam unless they can | get the power; and they will op- pose Mississippl flood prevention for the same reason. But we must have flood preven- [tion, and without unnecessary de- lay. This blow to the lower Missis- sippl valley is or will be felt | throughout the entire country. It must not be permitted to happen again. We have the engineers and the money to insure its prevention. {The power companies should by no { means bo permitted to stand in the | way on account of business reasons. GOBBLING US UP A RATHER HEARTY MEAL Bill Thompson, mayor of Chicago, belongs to that school of embattled patriots which says Britain is out to reclalm the United States. Bill can prove it to the complcte satisfac- | tion of anyone living on the South Side. It is useless for the King of Eng- land to utter a mild disclaimer. Bill says it and so it must be so. Bill says the King is interfering with what is being taught in the Amer-! ican schools; schoolbooks are “pro- British,” he says, and proves it by citing innumerable instances in which the fathers of this republic are manhandled and important in-| cldents reflecting upon the meth- ods of British soldiery during the Revolutionary war have been delet- cd. All these things are charged up to the King and the British Parlia- ment, although no definite act of parliament or Xingly pronuncla- mento is citéd. That isn't necessary, says Bill. British propaganda has work fén years to erase any vestiges of ill-feeling as a result | American revolution, Bill says. A close British-American union {s be- ing planned as the first step toward a unification of the two countries, it is added.

Captain William J. Grace, fden- tified with the Illinols troops in the World war, comes to Bill's assist- ance with the statement new Amer- ican historics have heen found which show no plctures of American troops at Bunker Hill—that they arc all British. And so this merry war goes on, The histories may have becn faked to some extent, but if their sundry publishers have fallen in line with any concerted plan to hand over the United States to Great Britain they i must be credited with rather adoles icent Intelligence.
