"Max and Herb"
PRESIDENT Hoover resembles Max Schmeling in this; he
lacks color, he is a slow starter, but regardless of how the
battle goes, he keeps plugging
longer the fight goes on, the
he performs.
President Hoover is now near the end of his battle for the
heavyweight political championship of the United States. He
has taken a lot of punishment. In the opening rounds he was
outpointed and outgeneraled. But he never quit, he never be
came discouraged, he never stopped boring in.
As a result with only three months to go, he is now stronger
than at any time since the battle started. Changing suddenly
from a cautious defensive to an aggressive offensive, six months
ago, he has had his opponents covering up and breaking ground
ever since.
e e e e
I f IS sudden and unexpected demand today, that world arma-
ments be reduced 30 percent, with a saving of from TEN
TO FIFTEEN BILLION DOLLARS IN THE NEXT 10 TEARS,
was like Schmeling's sudden left hook, last night, in the 12th
round, which closed Sharkey's eye. '
Only three rounds to go. Only tb,ree months to go.
It may not win the decision
polls, like judges at a prize fight, often allow emotions to over,
rule their judgment. But it certainly improves his chances!
The Dance of Death!
THY shouldn't the world, we

With thousands starving, with millions out of work, what
utter folly, to pour billions of dollars, day after day.and year
after year into the bottomless
The money thus saved would
to the United States, it would leave a cash balance sufficient to
rehabilitate a large part of the world. And if ALL the nations
agreed, their relative military strength would be the same as it
is today.
Such a plan would not end war, for if properly aroused the
human animal will fight with bare hands. But it WOULD end
this dance of madness under the aegis of Mars, which is leading
the civilized world to bankruptcy and destruction.
trWLTllAT FOOLS WE MORTALS BE!" With wfiat incom
" prehensible perversity, we insist upon doing TOGETH
ER, as a crowd, as a nation what not one of us would do if
acting ALONE. ,
The only hope for the world, as we see it, is to follow such
sane and enlightened leadership, as President Hoover now pro
vides. But unless all signs fail, France fairing back on its time hon
ored wheeze of security will refuse.
And thus the dance of death goes' on!
W. W. Allen
A FTER years of faithful, effioient and unselfish servio to his
city Counoilman W. W. Allen, because of a change of resi
dence, has been forced to resign.
' During his term of office Mr. Allen did not receive a cent of
compensation, nor as far as we are aware, a word of public
praise. We don't pay our councilmen. We don't praise them.
When we think they are wrong, we knock their heads off; when
we think they are right we keep still. And during every political
campaign, we submit spinelessly to a barrage of villification,
mendaoity and personal abuse, which covers our publio officials
and the entire townsite, with slime and mud.
e e e e
IT SEEMS to the Mail Tribune, the time has come to change
this attitude toward our publio officials, not so much for
the sake of our OFFICIALS, as for the sake of OURSELVES
for the sake of good government, for the sake of securing and
maintaining it.
For unless we do, the time will come, and come SOON
when securing good and capable men for publio office, will be
impossible.
True, publio officials are merly publio servants, and as such,
it is proper to subject them to careful scrutiny, and a strict ac
counting of their stewardship.
But even a seravnt is worthy of his hire. Even a public
official, is entitled to some consideration, is entitled to some
APPROACH to a square deal. Just as all work and no play
makes Jack a dull boy; so all blamo and no praise even
when praise is deserved, can lead eventually, only to making
good officials, poor ores.
SO TO start the ball rolling, the Mail Tribune expresses its
appreciation to Mr. Allen for the good work he has done,
and its regrets that he can't continue it. We might go further,
and assure hira, that while the people of the city may say
nothing about it, a vast majority of them, we believe, feel
PRECISELY as we do.

fidence which warrants the abandon
ment of preparedness for defense
among nations. To do so may invite

"I am for adequate preparedness as
a gusrsnty that no foreign soldier

country. No American will arise
today and aay that we wish one gun
or one srmed man beyond that neces

To do so would create distrust In
other nations, and also would be an
Invitation to war. Proper defense re
quires military strength relative to
that of other nations."
Adequate preparedness in terms of
men end money Is more economical
and certainly more merciful than a
modern war. Modern was Is expensive.
The World War cost millions of dol
lars a day, not to mention the Ines

RESULT OP STRAW VOTE ON IMMUNITY
VERSUS RESISTANCE
Quite a while ago readers of this
column were invited to give their
ideas about the difference, If any, be-

Well, the keen Interest snd the clear
Insight our readers evince In their
letters on this subject would sston
lsh and enlighten meny of the gen
tlemen who purport to be expert In

for a mere stray vote. The actual
result was a symposium. In the
course of the past decade I have col
lected many Interesting and Instruct

"resistance," but this particular sym

Is Fine to Be Immune But How
Can You Tell When Your Resist

do I care for the prize; let the

does not know the difference be

Keep Faith In Our Courts
To the Editor:
I am Interested In the fine editori
al in your Issue of June 17th, on the
subject: "LAW VERSUS LAWLESS
NESS," quoted from an address given
before the Illinois state bar associa
tion, thirty years ago, by Judge W.
B. Carpenter. That Is basic and fun
damental truth, and ought to be
sounded forth clearly In every quar
ter today. I am glad for the an
nouncement that other articles- on
such subjects are forthcoming.
"Once destroy the faith in our
courts of law, our wlUlngness, as a
people, to peaceably abide by the de.
clslons of the courts, and clvUlzatlon
ends." So-said the Judge, and, also
other good things. Let us look at that
statement of truth; for truth never
need to, nor can, change.
How easy It Is for the Individual to
urge his own Interests, and desires
Into the fore, snd thereby, If he suc
ceeds, help to undermine the confi
dence and respect of others, that Is
necessary for the maintenance of law I
Such examples are alwaya before us.
Here are two young men, both csught
In some forms of law violations. One
is the eon of poor 'parents, out ot a
home that Is In no adequate sense a
real home; the mother being not
mentally responsible, and the whole
tenor of the young man's life on a
low. untutored, and uncultured plane.
The other young man Is out of a fine
home; parents above the average,
having given the son every advantage
and incentive to be what a young
man ought to be.
Now, let ua say that In these par
ticular cases both young chaps are
tried before the same Judge, and by
the same Jury. Both are found guil
ty, and both are sentenced, well
within the provisions of the law.

the evil of disrespect for law, and for a
those in high places, In the minds of
a multitude of our yluth that know
thst the Individual Interest and
PULL Is being used for selllsh ends,
and the higher purposes of Justice
and good government are thrown to
the winds.

wise. It is not good to have respect

WHAT PRICE
SAFETY?
WHAT price do you set on
the safety of those you
love? Is it the difference between
the Safest Tire Ever Built and a
tire that is just "a tire"? Tests
prove that this new Silvcrtown
is the best anti-skid tire on the
road, that its full-floating cord
construction gives you greater
protection against blowouts, that
its silent running reduces nerve
fatigue. Yet it is priced the same
as any of the better tires.
