ILzLe iub acjiptions DENOUNCES THE HYPOCRITES Woe unto you, scribes and Phari sees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulehers of the righteous, and say. If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of th'e prophets. Wherefore ye be wit ness unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. Fill ye up then the meas ure of your fathers. Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye es cape the damnation of hell.

It is rumored that the place will soon go up the spout. :o: Anglers can become irritable in hot weather, as witness the one who held a piece of bait before a colleague and asked, "Is it worn enough for you?" :o:- Talklng picture equipment is to be Installed soon on 200 of the navy's ships.

At least the beverage should be popular with those patron izing baby golf courses. :o: A news item say3 that cabbage is 91.5 per cent water, 7.5 per cent organic material and 8 per cent min eral salts. That's another place where a bad acting little minority can make the majority look sick. Everybody has it once in a while. It may be due to a And just about the time Old Man Drought has been put to bed, along comes achoo hay fever. :o: Last Thursday was a dull day in Chicago.

Segregation of footpaths would save many lives. :o: The question raised by Mary V. Robinson of the woman's department of labor as to what women may do who are "too old" for Jobs and too young for death, is still being wide ly discussed. In all probability, it will be a live topic for Beveral years. for a problem of this kind can be solved only by the rigors of experience. THE RAINBOW ENDS IN ME. FESS If there is any man in the Senate of the United States who typifies the complacent regularity of the machine politician it is Mr. Fess. In 17 years of servic in Congress he has never left the reservation. He has never contributed to the discussion of cur rent problems an idea which post dated the philosophy of McKinley Re publicanism in the late 1890's. On questions of property rights and the protection of big business he is the complete standpatter. On questions of social legislation he is the elo quent disciple of the doctrine of laissez faire. On questions of for eign policy he is the perfect isola tionist. We do not question the fitness cf Mr. Fess to serve as the symbol of Republicanism as it has come down to us through Mr. Coolidge and Mr Harding. We do believe that his se lection as party chairman by Mr Hoover will be a bitter dose to those liberal Republicans who believed in 192S that Mr. Hoover would give his party new leadership and a new phil osophy of government. It is a far cry from Herbert Hoo ver, tne Doiu ana daring engineer, to Mr. Fess, the party wheel horse It is a far cry from Herbert Hoover, the creator, to Mr. Fess, the apostle of let-well-enough-alone. It is a far cry from Herbert Hoover, the expert in world affairs, to Mr. Fess and his Chinese walls. If Mr. Hoover had de liberately set out to show his liberal supporters in 1928 that they were ut terly mistaken in their estimate of his type cf Republicanism, he could not possibly have made a better choice. The significance of the President's decision becomes all the more impres sive when it is remembered that he had complete freedom in the selection of a party chairman. There were no compelling reasons of party strategy which forced him to decide on Mr. Fess. He was under no personal or political obligation to the man. There were a hundred men whose selection would have been typified the spirit of social engineering and the new eco nomic statesmanship which Mr. Hoo ver seemed to many of his friends to represent in 1928. Mr. Hoover chose none of these men. He cnose bimeon u. t ess. once more he has given his most enthus iastic friends good reason to believe that what they saw in 1928 was a mirage and not a vision From the New York World. :o: HAVENS AND HIGH SEAS Havens or high seas! Choose which you please. Land-bounded comfort. Contentment and ease, Fire on hearthstone. Wind in the trees, A hand at home-coming. Would you have these? Or do you still long For nights that are gone, Wind in the rigging. Red sun at dawn. Where blue touches blue, And the limitless view Is pregnant with longing Do these call to you? Heavens or high seas, Cyclone or breeze, Whichever ;you choose, You will never have ease! -E. Leslie Spaulding in the Chicago Tribune. :o: A GANGSTER'S BOOKS Jack Zuta, Chicago operator In li quor, gambling and vice on a big scale, who was riddled with bullets in his Wisconsin retreat a few days ago, kept books. Those books, now in possession of the State's Attorney's office, show enormous receipts; that, of course, was to be expected. They also show disbursements, by way of canceled checks and notes, to Judges, former Judges, police officials, poli ticians and a subscription to a poli tical organization. There are few persons unsophisticated enough to be surprised at those revelations. Gangsterism in Chicago thrives un der the aegis of official and political protection. It could not prosper in Chicago or any other city without such protection. Zuta, it seems was a systematic business man." His ledgers were as carefully balanced, the dispatches say, as those of any legitimate enter prise. There was method in his mad ness. He retained the evidence so that if any of the men he had bought became restive he could bring them to heel with the incriminating docu ments. How much the dead gangster's books may contribute to smashing the alliance between Chicago's offi cialdom and underworld remains to be seen. The State's Attorney's of fice has published the records. Pre sumably it intends to follow through. will need assistance. Here is an opportunity for the press of Chicago to come to the aid of Its city with a purpose and courage that have not distinguished it. What of Chicago's publie opinion? In the last analysis Chicago can be redeemed only by the people of Chicago. As to the reac tion of the people of Chicago to the Zuta disclosures, there can be no question if the necessary leadership is furnished in pitiless publicity and official capacity and determination The truth, however obvious, can not be asserted and repeated with too much emphasis. The truth is that the books of Zuta are the bocks of every other gangster in Chicago and everywhere else. Organized lawless ness flourishes only by permission connivance and spoils-sharing of cor rupt officials. :o: A PROBLEM IN PSYCHOLOGY Profiteering has come back into the vocabulary of America with the suddenness of a cyclone. We thought that with the end of the World War we had seen the last of this ugly form of theft. But the soaring prices of certain commodities suggest that profiteering is with us again. It should be borne in mind, how ever, that prices are almost invari ably the normal resultant of the de mand and the supply for any sort of merchandise. There is no reason, to begin with, why the ccming season should be a "hard winter," at least not any more than the present season is a "hard summer." If consumers as a whole will take the pains to buy intelli gently, avoiding those commodities which are too costly, the profiteer ing scare will evaporate shortly. In those isolated cases where Job bers Jockey the prices of their goods Government action should be taken But such cases will be rare unless the public falls prey to the psychol ogy of a bull market in foods, some what in the fashion of the late and lamented bull market in stocks. The American people are assured by no less an authority than Presi dent Hoover that there is an ade quate supply of food for human con sumption. It remains for the people to make their purchases with dis cernment and prices will remain at wholesome levels, and in the cases where they have soared will return to equitable levels. ':o: BANISHING "MOTHER" The American "youth movement. we are told, insists that "Mother" must be abandoned. We are told that "Father" and "Mother" imply a submissiveness out of all harmony with the cynical omnisience of em ancipated souls who are looking for ward to fullest exemplification of their "careers," "self-expression" and the sloppy silliness of hard-boiled cynicism which has grown to regard normal affection for parents as an interferenc with the freedom to which their colossal degeneracy en titles them. So Mother is to become "Kate,1 or "Fan," or "sax. "uia uin, or 'Sis." Well, the biological relation between parent and child perhaps is a bit singular. To the "enlightened" and "emancipated" progeny of the adolescent age of the present it in deed may be something to be ashamed of! True parenthood will never be dragged into the slime of abnormal perversion such as is here manifest in the contemplation of "liberated souls." No child born of woman that is worthy to live will ever forget or fall to experience and express the love, reverence and devotion which are a mother's due. There is no name below the stars o sweet as that of Mother. It sings in the soul of every worth-while mor tal so long as life may last. It will take more than the hard-boiled cyni cism and mocking mushiness of bio logical youthful oral derelicts to ban ish a name and designation dear in the thought of angels and or nor mally human men and women since the beginnings of the "race. :o: MORE OR LESS TRUE Still, when you consider how fool men fall for the baloney a vamp hands out, it's not surprising they believe the label on the stuff the boot legger sells. Another thing that gives x us a laugh is a grass widow who got her divorce in Paris feeling superior to one who got hers in the old home town. Giving ash trays as prizes of after noon bridge clubs is bad enough, but the worst won't have happened till cute little cuspidors also become ap propriate prizes for the ladies to give and receive. Conceit is something there would be very little of In the world if we could see ourselves as others see us. The only more foolish way to waste time than looking for a needle in a hay stack Is to look for a square meal in a dinette. Now and then we pass a Jane who looks as if she were trying to break the record for wearing the shortest skirt the longest. Tnere are a few married women who write the heart throb editors for advice on what to do with a ran- tankerous lesser half, but most of them feel between their own tongues and the rolling pins they can inflict all the punishment necessary. Women like the newspapers for the bargains advertised in "em, but the news they enjoy most is published by the gossips. Nothing makes a modern girl more wild than having her boy friend hint she ought to become domestic after they are married. :o: ' What women see in silk stockings Is not what men see in them.
