How Can the Crime Wave
Be Broken?
A WEEK ago we declared in this column that the supreme
issue in this country is organized crime, and that' the
Lindbergh kidnapping should awaken the people to that fact.
The time has come, we declared, for the people to rise on 'their
hind legs, and destroy this underworld ring of lawlessness and
vice that controls them.
As we pointed out this country can no more endure half
criminal and half law-abiding today than 70 years ago, it could
endure half slave and half free. The irrepressible conflict be
tween the two forces today, is as inevitable, as wag that irre
pressible conflict, over a generation ago. ' ;
The response to this editorial, removed all doubt in the
writer's mind, that this view is shared by a vast majority of
the people of Southern Oregon, and behind a iy plan which
they BELIEVED could achieve this end, they would align them
selves 100 percent strong.
OUT after talking the matter over with many individuals,
we realize it is ONE thing to secure unanimous approval
of such a campaign ; and quite ANOTHER to secure any such
unanimity, regarding any definite program, designed to carry
it out.
IT is the writer's firm conviction, for example, that the first
step in any such program, is
traffic, out of the hands of
resides; and place it in the hands
care whether this is done through modification or repeal, but
that organized crime, MUST in
tremendous source of revenue, before any constructive progress
can be made, we regard as CERTAIN.
But when we made such a suggestion to a certain radical
Dry, he raised his hands in horror, and refused to have any-
i thing to do with such a program. To him the 18th amendment
I is sacrosanct, any suggestion a better way to solve the liquor
problem, can be found, he regards as apostasy and treason. He
i doesn't believe the people of this country, even have a right
! to VOTE on such a question that when Prohibition is con
cerned, the inalienable right of
It is therefore evident, that
tyranny of organized crime, is
fanatical Drys, of this type.
True the individual in question undoubtedly represents a
I small minority in the country at large, but it is the well organ
I ized, and well financed minority, that proves such an obstacle,
in any such fundamental change, as divorcing liquor from tne
the underworld, demands.
IN other words, the only hope for achieving this Now Freedom,
.freeing this country from criminal control, lies in first over
coming this misguided but to our mind formidable opposition.
Underworld control of liquor MUST BE BROKEN before the
first breach can he made in the machine-gun sprinkled walls
)f organized orime. And it can' only be broken in the face
of the strenuous opposition of individuals like, the one above
montioned, who say they abhor crime control and of course
DO, but who refuse to do anything to change the ONE situa
tion that more than anything else, is breeding and supporting
CRIMINALS.
This opposition can be overcome, we believe, in only one
way. Not by the fanatical Wets they are almost as great a
nuisance, as fanatics on the other side. But by the rank and
file, the great mass of the American people, noither fanatical
wot nor fanatical dry, as the force behind a widespread and
sweeping MORAL REFORMATION I
From our radical Dry that mention of "moral" will raise
another howl of rage and indignation. That, any change in
the present method of handling the liquor problem, COULD
be a moral step in advance, he refuses even to consider, much
less sanction.
Noverthelas that is PRECISELY WHAT WE BELIEVE
IT WOULD be, and on that basis and that basis ALONE, can
the proper solution of the liquor problem be reached, or the
ovorthrow of this invisfble government of crime, be attained.
'T'lflS is not our opinion alone. It is the opinion of scores of
the outstanding intellectual and moral leaders in the
country today. In conclusion we will quote from one of them,
President Glenn Frank of the University of Wisconsin, (and
we might add incidently his view is shared by President John
Grier Hibben of Princoton and President Honkins
oertainly men no one can acouse
any step tnat would be morally backward).
Declaring the 18th amendment to be the "MAGNA CHARTA
OF THE UNDERWORLD" President Frank writes in part
as follows:
"If prohibition drastically reduced drinking, pro
tected youth, advanced temperance among all classes,
and made for increasing law and order, every self
respecting Americans would be behind it. The brutal
truth is that it does not.
To say that does not lessen the eager desire of those
who say it to see the alleged objectives of prohibition
reached. Can it be assumed by honest men that Nich
olas Murray Butler, of Columbia, or John Grier Hibben
of Trineeton, are out to plunge the nation into an orgy
of intemperance t Obvionsly not I
It is incredible that the intelligence of America can
not devise a more workable plan for the control and
restriction of drinking, a plan that will hamper rather
than help the underworld, a plan that will save America
from its present orgy of insincerity and evasion, a plan
that will actually promote instead of imperil temper
ance among the rank and file, a plan that will relieve
rather than aggravate feueral finances 1
Surely America is not so bankrupt of leadership
but that there are men in both the Republican and
Democratic parties big enough and brainy enough to
make convincingly clear to the nation that their dis
illusionment with prohibition is not prompted by a de
sire to make the nation wetter but by a desire to find
a plan that will really promote temperance and civilized
order."

Socking In New Zealand,
Mr, Mellon Hopes On,
Doubly Dangerous" Blast,
He Repented Too Late,
Copyright King Pestures Bynd., Inc.
LOS ANGELES, California,
April 15. -T- Unpleasant news
from New Zealand, rioting at
Auckland, ten thousand unem
ployed enjoying "an orgy of
looting in. Auckland's business
district," marines, and blue
jackets firing on the rioters,
"local police powerless to stem
the wild hordes of men and
women raging up and down
Queen street, smashing plate
glass windows, pouring into
stores for pillage." .
Such conditions in New Zea
land, most radical of civilized
countries, governed practically
on what we should call "a soci
alistic basis," interest congress
men who think all our troubles
can be solved by "socking the
rich."
: In New Zealand there are no "rich"
to sock, and those that adopt a sock
ing program, are compelled to attack
and rob small store keepers.
Our thoughtful statesmen may
leam from New Zealand that mere
"socking" will not solve anything.
Andrew W. Mellon, ambassador In
London tells the Pilgrims' Society, he
does not doubt "our capacity to deal
with world conditions."
If Mr. Mellon la optimistic, others
should be. Where the average pros
perous man has lost a dollar, Mr.
Mellon has lost thousand. His
property on paper doubtless amounts
to less than It did In 193 by two or
three hundred millions of dollars. It
la true that he probably has' hun
dred millions or so left, but If you
think he 'who loses. a quarter of a
billion finds comfort In some millions
left over, you don't know human na
ture. Mr. Mellon atlll has his aluminum
business, oil concerns, steel Invest
ments, and other properties that
made President Harding describe Mel
lon to this writer as "the second rich
est man in the world" before Mr.
Harding made him secretary of the
treasury.
These MeUon properties and others
are Intrinsically WORTH ss much aa
ever. He cannot,' at present take out
as many dollars In dividends as he
once did, but everything that Is sound
will come back.
The Important and hopeful fact Is
that all enterprises, as the able John
Herts puts It, "have been put thru
the wringer." The water has been
squeend out, the property remains.
The "wringer" process Is not pleasant
for those that once Included water
values among their assets, but to go
through the wringer Is a healthful
process, aa when a fever patient's
temperature comes down to normal.

Now we see mora clearly, the wise

to normal.
Destruction by explosion of Ohio's
14 story office building, at Columbus,
which caused the deaths of six men,
involves a condition more serious
than destruction of property said to

any Illness or Im

way; indeed, with
out any call at all
several score of
readers have vol
unteered for Just
such experiments whenever I may
notify them that I want them. But.
alas, we can't get any forrader that
way, for the old-timers who annually
or semi-annually warn the public to
beware of such exposure craftily de
cline to define the Illness they im
ply people contract from such cause.
They know their pork and beans,
these eminent physicians and promi
nent health commlsslonvs. They're
satisfied with the controversy as she
Is. They stand all kinds of prodding
and guying from low bred writers
about this diffidence of theirs, but
not for anything would one of the
old guard be so simple as to commit
himself In a definition or even a de
scription of the Illness he calls "the
common cold."
Another Interesting little contro
versy that bids fair to go on until the
old-timers are all retired or dead Is
the one about gout. It doesn't do a
bit of good for me to shout myself
hoarse telling the public these Is no
such ailment, for my shouting Is a
weak, ephemeral thing, compared
with the thousand and one ponder
ous medical works and the Imposing
array of distinguished physicians that
expatiate learnedly on the subject.
They leave no doubt In the student's
mind that gout can and still does
happen occasionally. They Imply that
In olden time, at any rate, all the
best families had some gout; It was
the correct thing, for It meant that
the sufferer was accustomed to high
living and that he did no honest
work. - But, alas, you can't produce
gout that "way now. So even If thou
sands of earnest volunteers were to
live high, under my sponsorship, for
a year or so I- doubt we could con

profession that they're all wrong

graves believing In gout, no matter
how many honest doctors confess
they've never encountered a genuine
case of It.

William J. Burns, called the "great
detective," Is dead. He was a good
business man and negotiator, rather
than a great detective. He knew how
to find Intelligent detectives, and how
to make the regular police useful to
those that could pay for good service.
He has carried Into the grave, and
beyond It, interesting secrete, some
that would disturb Important men If
made public.
At St. Louis, Tommy Hayes, former
leader of the Cuckoo gang, Is another,
bearing witness to the fact that crime
doesn't pay In the long run, although
you may take In a good deal of money
while waiting for the final shot.
The testimony given, while not
given verbally, was that of his body
riddled with machine gun bullets,
outside his hsndsome automobile.
Crime provided the automobile but
It did not provide protection against
the machine gun, from the other
criminals that it purchased.

The Idea I had In mind for this

unteers to undergo a little experiment
to settle the rabies controversy, I
was going to propose that a thousand
men who are heavily in debt to so
ciety say long-term Inmates of the
state and federal prisons voluntarily
expose themselves to a choice selec
tion of rabid dogs. Only 15 per cent
of persons bitten by rabid dogs de
velop any Illness In consequence, ac
cording to good authorities. I'd un
dertake to remain at some conven
ient safe place and give every man
bitten Immediate phy lactic dose of
tetanus antitoxin. I believe the tem
porary indignation and annoyance of
the man so bitten would be the sum
of his sufferings. But if my con
ception should prove all wrong and
several of the men bitten actually de
veloped rabies well, that would set

Toys and Quarrels.
(By Alice Judson Peace.)
Four times in the lost week Bobby
and Hal have come to blows over the
push car. Each one wants It all the
time.
It was given to them to use togeth
er but a push car can be used only
by one at a time and so there have
been struggles ever since the day they
received it.
There are certain typ $ of toys such
as push cars and bicycles which It is
impossible to use co-operatively. They
happen also to be toys that every
child uses during a large part of his
play time. Of such toys every child
should have his own.
There are other kinds which chil
dren can use together quite happily,
such as blocks, and sa: pue, ladders
and all sorts of Isrge outdoor play
materials. With these, children can
learn to cooperate and take turns
without having too much strain
placed upon their selfishness.
Such things as paints and crayons
each child should have for himself.
The older child uses his crayons and
his brush more carefully than his
younger brother. Naturally he will be
annoyed If he must share these ma
terials and use them after they seem
to him spoiled for his own purposes.
Friction also Is avoided If each child
has a separate shelf or cupboard or
drawer In which to keep his especial
ly cherished possessions. The older
child especially needs thla. Other
wise he may frequently be angry with
little brother for spoiling his things.
Children growing up together are
bound to have plenty of adjustments
to mske In relation to each other.
.Sensible planning about their play
materials will avoid a good many sit
uations that make things unnecessar
ily difficult and unpleasant.

school Friday morning at the regular
assembly, by Mrs. Golden 's fifth grade
students of Phoenix, was greatly en
Joyed by the school pupils as well
as the large number of guests at

at the school by the children, and
those present agreed hat the work
was outstanding. The actions of trie
dolls were perfectly timed, and the
students were highly praised for
their presentation.
Two little pages, attractive in their
costumes, stood at the entrance.

white and blue stars were opened
In the first scene, a rabbit, butter
fly and bird were on the stage. The
woodman then came in, cut down
the tree, and freed the fairy who had
been confined within it for many
years.
In the second scene, at the farm
house, the woodman's friend, who
waj fond of ale and had become very
drunk, wished for sausage. The
woodman wished the sausage on the
friend s nose, and had to use his last
favor to remove It.
The presentation closed with the
fairy telling them that If all could
make wishes they would be as futile

THE SIMPLE JOYS.
Things we want moat are so hard to
get
Tho many a chance Is missed
While we are seeking the pot of gold
In the earth where the rainbow
kissed.
Such are the ways of the clay made
man.
All for the lust of gain.
Without a thought of the simple Joys
So easy for us to attain.
