The great domin ion north of the border has unrival ed attractions as a vacation land and we're not speaking of its liquor laws, either. Citizens of the United States are discovering the fact in increasing numbers every year. However, Canadians do a good deal of touring, too, and a lot of them cross the border to do it. In 1929, according to dominion government figures, Canadian tourists spent more than 111,000,000 in the United States, and more than 619,000 Can adian automobiles went south over the boundary. The figure probably will be higher this year. Here is reciprocity of the finest sort. That famous unfortified fron tier is in no danger as long as the two nations exchange friendly visits on such a scale. WER FINER GASOLINE SERVICE STATIONS CHICAGO'S AMAZING SITUATION The Lingel murder in Chicago, which exposed a dirty mess concern ing the gangster alliances and graft activities of a reporter of the Chi cago Tribune, has developed into an amazing newspaper situation. The Chicago Tribune, in a lead ing editorial, accuses the publishers of the other Chicago newspapers of changing from an attitude of co-operation in the investigation of gang sterism and graft prompted by the murder to that of obstruction and hostility. The Tribune refers to news paper reports that there are dishon est reports on other Chicago news papers and the plain inference is that the other newsapers are tarred with the same stick that blackened the Tribune, and the publishers want to prevent public disclosures touching corrupt activities on the part of their own employes. There is a fight on among the Chicago newspapers, and the Tribune asserts it goes be yond mere newspaper jealousies and touches the effort to expose the tang led mass of gangland crimse and al liances. In weighing the gravity of the charge, the Tribune's position must be taken into account. It is the only Chicago newspaper definitely proved to have had a reporter on its payroll who was the pal and partner of crim inal gangsters and shared in their loot. He was on the Tribune's pay roll for many years. Although he was known as the gang reporter, there is no evidence of his service to the newspaper or the public in ob taining and printing information about gangsters or their activities. To the contrary, the evidence shows that he served the gangsters and worked with them. The evidence in dicates that his newspaper connec tion was of great value to him and his criminal partners. How else could he have gained the power and influence he exercised over police and other officials for the benefit of the gangsters? How the Tribune could for years be ignorant of the exer cise of power and the criminal con nections and activities of its reporter is an unsolvable puzzle to newspaper men. Why did it retain him, with his record and reptuation? The Tribune must clear its own skirts, and unless that is done it will reap little benefit by disclosing dirty linen in other newspaper clos ets. We assume that the other Chicago newspapers will take their own ways and means, regardless of the Trib une, to bring out all the facts. That is necessary on account of their own good name and future standing. It is of importance to the press in gen eral, which is deeply interested in the situation and its outcome. If the Chicago situation were a mere newspaper fight it would have little significance for other news papers or the public. But it involves charged or insinuated alliances be tween the press and the criminal gangsters who are engaged in crime as an organized business, often in alliance with and under the protec tion of public officials. This is of profound interest and significance. It marks a possibility of gang control which heightens its menace beyond words. If the press deserts its post as tl guardian of public interest and safety and becomes the ally of criminals and corrupt officials the last hope of re demption fades. Any tendency in this direction, therefore, is significant and important to the public. That is the reason the Chicago situation is being watched by press and public everywhere with intense interest. We expect all the newspapers of Chicago to do their duty. Surely there Is one that will honestly and fearlessly at tack the corrupt combine. For the sake of Chicago, the public and the press let us have all the facts. St. Louis Post-Dispatch. -io:- CAL'S CEEDO From a close perusal of Mr. Cool idge's articles, we are slow gather ing a clear conception of his credo. He believes, he said, in the eternal truth that "certainty is the basis of business confidence." Is it not logi cal to attribute to him a belief in various? such as: Haste makes waste. A stitch in time saves nine. A rolling stone gathers no moss. Truth crushed to earth will rise again. The course of true lover never runs smoothly. Honesty is the best policy. The worm will turn. Mur der will out. A fool and his money are soon parted. When poverty flies into the door, love flies out of the window. Brevity is the soul of wit. Look after the pennies and the dol lars will take care of themselves. Procrastination is the thief of time. It never rains but it pours. Hell is paved with good intentions. It's a long lane that has no turning. Eter nal vigilance is the price of liberty. And it isn't the heat, it's the humidity. A British magazine reports that every cell of a woman's prison in England has a mirror in it. The prisoners, you see, are locked up and left to their own reflections.
