More Fireworks
And Some Idle Men
Real Life Is No Gamble
Roses for Diamond Joe
By Arthur Brisbane
(Copyright, 1927, by New York
Evening Journal, Inc.
Moro fireworks in Wall
Street, lieueriil Motors climb
ed to 199. Nothing (iiiyor than
fireworks. Hut be. sure the
rocket stick doesn't hit you on
the way down.
A stock cxclumiie sent sold
for $375,0(10 $25,000 more
than Saturdal's price. Ex
change seatn will go to half a
million, and then the 1100
seats on the stock exehanjic
will be worth $500,000,000.
When Russell Huge and Jay
Gould were uctive you could
have bought them all for $55,
000. Everything goes up.
That's one side of the pic
ture. The other side is sup
plied by Mr. Davis, secretary
of labor, who tells the senate
that "unemployment is seri
ous." Stocks increasing in value
more than a thousand million
in a clay and 7,847,050 men out
of work does not make a pretty
combination.
When IJurke wept over
"Poor Marie Antoinette," Fox
told him he saw the fine feath
ers but forgot the dying bird.
He ' could see the fancifully
dressed royal Austrian woman,
not the French peasants starv
ing to death.

Chicago's chief of police,
smashing the gambling house
doors, says, '"There will always
be gambling. Everything in
life is a gamble." That is in
accurate. Ituilding of public
schools, radio sets, automobiles
or telephones, is not a gamble.
Ileal work uml honesty are not
gambliii. Gambling is a vi
cious substitute for such things.
They buried "liamond Joe"
Ksposilo, his own followers hav
ing shot 5S slugs into his hack.
Two airplanes flying low drop
ped 10,0(10 roses along the fun
eral road from the Holy Fam
ily church to Mount Carmel
cemetery.
Very pretty, lint if what the
Bible says and what Joe Kspo
sito'ssays is true, Joe, as he
looked up at the falling roses,
must have laughed.
Without lifeboats, emergency
rations or radio, three Germans,
Captain Herman Kochl, ltaron
Von Hueiiefeld and Arthur
Spindlcr started a flight
westward over the Atlantic to
America. ' Stopping in Dubjin
for fuel, they expect to get
here some time. Everybody's
good wishes go with these cour
ageous men, gladly risking
their lives in the cause of pro
gress. The Italian steamship line is
first to install and use the
"auxiliary air taxi." The Contc
Grande, on her way to Europe,
will shoot an airplane from her
decks at Gibraltar and send
you wherever you wnnt to go
in Europe.
"Do it now," is Mussolini's
motto.
Yale seniors place Lindbergh far
above Mussolini, because the young
gentlemen understand what Lind
bergh has done. Few of them know
what Musslonini has done.
You can't compare magnificent
flying eagle with a man fighting
the menace of anarchy, which is
Mussolini's job. or with such a man
as old Baron von Stein refusing to
be discouraged by the power of Na
poleon. The Infant death rate Is down In
Pennsylvania and New York, and

(A) The east levee of the Feather I

early this morning is endangered
as the swollen streams continue to

point about one mile south of the
town only lti feet of the 70-foot
levee remains.
Hundreds of men are working
rantlcaily to prevent the wall from

morning the Sacramento Union was

that the situation uppeared favor-

A span of the north approach to !
