TAKE IT ¥ The criticism of Alderman Falk against the board of public works seems to be done in good humor. For that many thanks. It is too much inclined to be hot in July for acrimonious debate, although it may not get too hot for a bit of digni- fied discussion as to what ought to be done about keeping down ex- penses here and there in the city's establishment. The investigation sought seems reasonable, the board is running things as it claims to be doing, it would not need to fear an investigation. As to the re- as it lative merits of hiring trucks in- stead of buying them. that seems to be a matter for the Common Council. Charges have heen heard before this that equipment utilized only part of the time has been pur- chased by the city. It is a matter of policy, and the Council is the body to fix policies. Whatever is done or discussed, however, let good humor prevail. DISCOVERING WHY STULTZ CAME DOWN For the first time in the history | of aviation a cursory report on why remained the a plane which should have up but did resulting in death of a famous aviator—Wilmer | Stultz—did not prove satisfactory to | the authorities. It was announced it memory serves, that and not, at the time, Stultz had a consequence misjudged his ability and came to a sudden cnd.

The inference Is as plain as day, picion. they said in know more about The post-mortem being and we do not gauge the situation as needing particular emphasis.

ITALY FIGHTS CRIME WHEREVER COMMITTED Modern Italy has shown the world who come to the United States and | indulge in crime. It is a long trip from Sicily to Brooklyn, but what an Italian citizen does in Brooklyn seems to be taken as seriously as if it had taken place in Ttaly. Anyway, an Ttalian who lived in the United States, took part in a bank hold-up in Brooklyn, and then was thought- less enough to go to Palermo, Sicily. was arrested and tried in that city | and sentenced to 30 years of solitary confinement. Although three men had been executed for the Brooklyn hold-up, which ended fatally for a bank clerk, the Italian fled for safety to Palermo found who was guilty of complicity. It is unusual indeed for anyone tried for a crime committed nation. But Italy has a ih another | right to have its own laws on such | matters and evidently is not depend- ing upon extradition by other coun- much of it. We trust Farm Life will wiggle out from,under the load and get back to sanity and erstwhile pros- perity, even if it means going back to a 700,000 circulation.
