Merchants Knotv. An Epitaph for Ford. They Will Get the Gold. By ARTHUR BRISBANE V.-——-—' Ask 10 citizens inside Chicago’s loop their opinion of the national election and you get a vague: “Well, I don’t know. What do you think?’’ Ask 10 what they think of the Loeb-Leopold murder trial and vague indifferences vanishes. One: “They ought to be hanged, only hariging is too good for them.” Two: "Jail them for life, at hard lfcbor; that will cure them. To hang them, punishing and disgrac ing the fathers and mothers, would let the murderers off too easy.” Three: “You can’t send them to prison; it wouldn’t be right to put them in with respectable covicts. Why, say, those boys would make an atheist out of every man in the prison. Can you imagine turning loose a lot of criminals that don’t believe in hell-fire, or that God is watching? No. “What wouldn't they do?” . Four: "They are both born mur derers and thieves. Their parents ought to have known what they were and ought to have protected, the community against them. “To have sons like that running around is like turning mad dogs into the streets. “They ought to be hanged.” Five: “If they imprison those boys—for life, as they call it— they will be out in two or four years. You can do anything with ‘dough,’ and when they come out whose children will be safe?” Six: “Prison is the place. No use torturing the fathers and moth ers, who have committed no crime. Hard prison work would punish such boys for more than stran • *hig.” __ Seven: “If they don’t hang those boys, there will be riots, and somebody will get what’s coming ’ to him. They have confessed, and the state has proved a crime that calls for hanging, and the people mean to have a hanging, and a dou ble portion.” Eight: “The luckiest thing that could happen to them would be 'hanging. Every criminal in every . -jail knows what they did to the lit : ' tie Franks boy. If they land in prison they will be kicked around for a few days, then somebody will quietly give them a rap on the head like the one they gave that little boy. They won’t enjoy themselves in prison.” f i * Nine: “To hear them talk about Leopold and Loeb, you would think it was the first time anything hor rible ever happened. Pouring acid on the face of that dead boy was sickening, but what about pouring kerosene over a living man and set ting fire to him? What about a mob kicking a young woman around the street, and, after beating her up, pouring boiling hot tar over her naked body? We are all sav ages, and any mob proves it.” Ten: “They ought to set those boys free, near some big public school, first gathering together a hundred mothers and fathers with clubs in their hands. What gets ’ ftic is the self-control of the father ’ of that murdered boy, sitting every day within 10 feet of the two young wolves that killed his son. If it were my son—Oh boys! Why doesn’t he walk up behind them, with a gun in each hand, poke the guns into the backs, fill them full of lead and then say to the judge, 'Now go ahead and try me?’ They . -would build a monument to him, t ,and carry him out of the court ,,iQom on their shoulders. If it wasn’t for his dignity, the judge would help carry him.” Mr. Davis, able dry goods mer chant of Waterloo, la., tells an in terstate meeting of merchants in Chicago that this country “faces an era of the greatest prosperity ever experienced.” - Dry goods men, especially owners of department stores, deal with a bigger percentage of the popula tion than all others business men put together. They are able to judge conditions, dealing directly with millions of homes. It may Interest Mr. Davis and , h>s associates to know that Bernard Baruch, who knows European and American conditions, said just be fore he sailed the other day: “If the Dawes plan goes through, as I think it will, there will be five years of such prosperity for this country as the world has never seen. Europe will buy unlimited quantities of our products. And whereas in “war prosperity” what they bought from us was burned up and destroyed in war, what they »' now buy will be used to rebuild, * making every dollar they spend with us worth $2 with them.” This country has most of the world’s gold, a big wheat crop, for which it will get an enormous price * because of crop failure elsewhere. We came through the war intact, •.except for the spending of a few »' billions that the country can afford. The only thing that ' the nation <, jacks is a full supply of optimism I' and appreciation of its blessings. •> ■ — mmm f. Henry Ford is satisfied with his property and contemplates printing on every one of his products: “I , will paiso the Lord, for I am fear fully and wonderfully made.” ' ■ During the first six months of this year he manufactured an aver < 'ftge of five automobiles, truckcs and tractors for every minute of the 24 hours. This is one every 12 sec onds, setting a new record. You really have to praitae Henry Ford and give him free advertising. If he will now begin turning out all-metal flying machines at low prices and develop production ol cheap dwellings with gardens ir OSTEOPATHY The Original System of Spinal Adjustment the rear, his name will be written above that of the famous “Abou.” He ought to choose for his epitaph: “Here lies a man who made it pos sible for Americans to build a de cent house, with a garage contain ing a car that will run, for $2,000 on the installment plan.” The United States brings suit against the miners to prevent their working in the Grand Canyon, near Bright Angel trail. But if gold is there, or silver, even copra, the miners will get it somehow. They would do that if the bright angels themselves came down the trail and tried to stop them. A little earthquake in Spain! Bodies found in brooks, 10 and 20, in the floods in India. Shintoists, Buddhists, calm philosophers, that seek to follow “The Perfect Way” of Confucius, and even Christians, in Japan, unite to fight all things American. Billy Sunday will tell the Japanese Chris tians they should not do that. They will feel sorry, later, when they look down and see Buddhists, Con fucians, Shintoists, all in hell, beck oning for a drop of water, which they won’t get. If they really be lieve that our missionaries saved them from hell fire, which undoubt edly they did, the Japanese Chris tians should love us, no matter what we do. All that a man gets he will give for his life—how much more for salvation, with immortal ity? Child Torturer Is Sentenced to 90 Days in Jail Judge Dineen Refers to Crime as “Dastardly” and Is Re minded of Days of Barbarism. -1 “This Is the most dastardly crime on which I have passed Judgment In a long, long time," Municipal Judge Frank Dineen told Roy Hill, 2026 St. Mary avenue, charged with “tortur ing” little Margie Weisner, 3. “It reminds me of the days of bar barism when the Chinese cut off the toes of their children. Similar crimes to slaves brought on the civil war. "If It were in my power I would mete out to you for 90 days the same punishments you measured out to this little girl. But the law will only allow me to give vou 90 days in Jail. “A man that does things like that can’t be normal.” Margie related the unusual punish ments practiced upon her by Hill to Judge Dineen. She said that she was not mean and stubborn as Hill charged and that che tried to be good, but the Hill children teased and pinched her. Hill admitted tying the girl up and placing food In front of her, dropping water on her chest, tying her In bed for hours and beating her with a razor strap and rubber hose.
