Shortage in Recorder's Funds
In viewing the municipal issue arising out of the shortage
in the city recorder's funds it is necessary to realize that the
recorder is an elective official,
pervision by the mayor or council. It is his duty to enforce
certain of the ordinances enacted by the council, but other
wise his resnonsibilitv is solelv

Breathless from her last-minute

Joe, the stable boy, didn't know a

the clubhouse just In time to see
her colt entering the starting
gate. ;
At the start. Knight Errant left
tho gate as if be had been shot
out. of a big cannon! But Just be
hind him, pressing, was Lightning
Bug, and as they clattered down
the backstretch it looked like a
nip : and tnck battle between the
two. The rest of the field was tar
back.
At the far turn Draper let' out
a wrap and simultaneously start
ed slashing away like a demon on
Knight Errant's flanks.

eyes for an Instant, ndged Snap

But she saw, too, that Knight

with a new willingness that was
obvious even to the untrained eye.
"He's knocked on that colt a

widening on his field as they
rounded Into the stretch.
Bassitt stood nearby, biting on
his cigar like a wild man. There
was no mistaking In his mind
now.
" "The dirty little double;cross
er," he was thinking, of Draper.
Seventy yards from the finish.
Draper and Knight Errant were
out . in front by as far as you
could shoot a green apricot out of
a slingshot.
But Draper was riding tor
that Job with the colonel. He was
still banging on tho colt's flanks.
Draper was taking no chances.
He Jet his mount have a final
belt with the bat as. they crossed
the finish line, a couple of fence
posts ahead of Lightning Bug In
second place. .'
Fifteen lengths! That was the
margin by which he beat Light
ning Bug. as Jimmy Murphy,-the
form chart caller, gauged It.
- "Well, we sure switched the
dice on Bassitt that time," Snap
per rowed, handslapplng Slim
with a lusty whack.
And though Slim waa $5000 to
the good on the race, mqxe fold
ing money than he. had seen in a
long time, he had that faraway
look in his eye. & '
"Slim, who'd you think up that
gag on Draper for, Flo or that
Little Red Riding Hood who owns
Knight Errant?" Snapper asekd.
"Thinking for myself," replied
Slim Quite calmly.
But his debonair airs did not
fool Snapper.
"I'm thinking it waa a pretty
mean trick we pulled on that lit
tle kid. Draper, though, Slim
went on thought ully. "Bassitt will
never hold still for a rider dump
ing him like -Draper did today."

' Her Knight Errant had won a

Tens of thousands of people

The Communists, with their ter

Not so long ago I Joined a. com
mittee for the purpose of assist- v
ina refugees and found some
weeks later that, without consult
ing mo at all, my name had beeri
signed to a telegram addressee!
to tho French government con
taining: a denunciation of French
pollcyf about which I was totally
uninformed and certainly not In a
nosltlon to express an opinion. My

an instrument Pf international,
political action. If one Joins i any ;
organisation today be is likely
to find that he is one of "We; the
undersigned" engaged in some
.tit which hs bid not the
slightest prior knowledge.
Tint there are ominous Indica
tions that some witch-hunts are
VMt tn K alarted without any?
clear concept of the aim, and
without any law to guiae mem.
For instance. Representative Mar
tin J. Kennedy of New Tork sug
gested the other day in the house
that the work of -protecting tne
country against Communism" be
fnrnai over, to veterans' organi
zations such as the American Le
gion, the Veterans of American
Foreign , Wars, and ; Disabled
American Veterans. .
. This Is a terrifying idea. It sug
gests that ex-American soldiers
should be made into a kind of
unofficial Gestapo. Obviously it
Is to Deleft to them to determine
what is and what is not a Com
munist. Heaven help ns If this
sort of thing la ever started!; A
rnmmnniit will become anvbodr
who thinks that this social order
is In need of some fundamental
reform. Nothing rwould more
onlcklv divide this count it into
bitterly .hostile groups. The con
gress should remember wnst Hap
pened during the Adams adminis
tration when the alien and sedi
tion act was passed and we nearly
had a civil war as a result ,
; . A prominent American publish
er is also supposed to be playing
with ihm Idfla that "war mothers"
should be organized in block sen
tries to track down "isms." mat
block-sentry idea has a familiar
ring; That's what they have got
In Germany. In Germany the
block sentries are the Individuals
who listen t your keyhole to
hear whether you are tuning In
on foreign radio stations; who
check up on who comes to din
ner, and patrol the personal lives
of people in apartment houses,
for purposes ' of political black
mall. The idea Is sickening and dls-,
gusting. '
It would be weU If a little at
tention were' paid to the wise and
expert words that were spoken by
Mr. John Lord O'Brian, at the
Herald Tribune Foruin. Mr.
O'Brian was the head of the war
emergency committee of the de- -partment.
of Justice In 1917-19.
He presented an astouding picture
ot the conspiratorial activities
carried en in this country by the
Germans during the last war. He
said they spent -here about $35,
000,000 for espionage, sabotage,
and propaganda. They subsidized
foreign newspapers. They msde
large contributions to organiza
tions ostensibly working for
peace, and gave financial assist
ance to the "American Truth So
ciety, and the so-called "Embar
go Conference," in Chicago, which
adopted resolutions protesting
against the export of munitions. .
They, provided the money used in
organizing "one of the more se
rious and ambitious conspiracies:
Labor's National Peace Confer
ence."
