AN EXCHANGE OF VISITORS
American motorists are expected
to spend around $300,000,000 in Can
ada this summer. 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.

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.

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.
