WITH tears streaming down his cheeks, his arms outstretch
ed in supplication, Bennie Laska implored the judge to
be reasonable ! . -
The judge, Edgar S. Vaught of Oklahoma City, was. He
sentenced Bennie to a ten year term in federal prison.
Certainly nothing unreasonable in giving the criminal lawyer
who engineered the Urschel kidnapping, ten years, when the
men who actually did the kidnapping, got life.
JN fact, if anything, Judge was TOO reasonable.
If a few of these criminal lawyers, who are so careful to save
their own skins, and pull down fat fees, for being accessories
before the fact, and aiding criminals to escape, were given the
same punishment their clients sometimes suffer, organized crime
in this country would receive jolt from which it would never
recover.
It is no exaggeration to state, that the greatest single ob
stacle to a successful war on organized crime, is supplied by the
legal profession, the underworld lawyers, who devote their
energies and abilities, exclusively to making this country just
as safe for the crooks, the kidnappers and the killers, as it can
be made.
This man Laska, was one of the leaders in this small, but
effective branch of the profession, and piled up a personal for
tune, as a result.
Now he is going to prison for ten years, unless, he with the
aid of other criminal lawyers, can find some legal loophole,
through which to escape.
FINE WORK by Judge Vaught and the department of justice,
which secured the evidence convicting him! In fact in our
judgment, this is by all odds
secured by the government in
decade.
Let's have a few more crooked lawyers put behind the bars
where they belong.
Once deprive the criminal underworld of legal aid, not only
legal aid but expert and utterly

Out to Get Borah?
SO Jim Karlcy and the Democratic party are going to do
evervthinc thev can tn defeat Senator Borah of Idaho.
Well, as Jim says, in such
prising or improper. Tile Democratic party is justitiea in doing
everything it can to defeat any Republican, even such an irregu
lar and uncertain Republican as Idaho's potential presidential
candidate.
NEVERTHELESS we were somewhat surprised to read
"Sunny Jim's" front pago announcement. Why pick on
Borah 1 Why release such an announcement at the present time,
and just across the line from William E.'s own state f
You can say what you like, about Borah, but he has the bes.t
legal mind in the senate. Moreover he long ago ceased to be
merely a senator and became and is today, an American
institution.
True he was a leader in the attack upon the NRA, but it was
entirely an OBJECTIVE one.
personal animus in his arguments. He spoke not as a partisan
Republican, but as a constitutional lawyer. And he was sustained
in every particular by the Supreme Court.
TAKING his record as a whole during the present adminis
tration and the Tdnho senator has been far less critical of
President Roosevelt, than at least two outstanding Democrats,
Huey Long and Carter Glass.
On the president's recent "soak the rich" tax program,
Borah went out of his way, to enthusiastically commend it.
Throughout his long tenure of office in the senate, the lone
wolf from Idaho, lias been distinguished by his non-partisanship
and stubborn independence. Always regular at election time, he
has been a "yes man" to no leader and no party, after the bal
lots have been counted. He has been as much a thorn in the
flesh to partisan Republicans, as to Democrats. He has gone
his own way, picked his own path, and for a professional poli
tician, has been amazingly indifferent to what others thought,
as long as he pleased himself. Finally and even more important,
he has strong and loyal friends and supporters in both parties.
Why then should Jim go out of his way to say that he and
his party are out to "get" him t
THERE must be something beneath the surface which doesn t
meet the eve. It can't be Borah's unquestioned presidential
aspirations, putting him out of the senate couldn't injure him
in that direction. It can't be a personal matter, Jim Farley
doesn't let personalities interfere with practical politics. Frob
ably the true explanation has something to do with the political
situation in Idaho.
The report of that anti-Borah meeting in Washington prob
ably put Jim on tho svot. He either had to go on record against
the senator from Idaho, or be accused by Idaho Democrats of
giving him support.
As a good Democrat Jim wouldn't or didn't hesitate long
between thoso two alternatives. Nevertheless we regard Jim's
announcement as a tactical mistake.

cocktail rooms or lounges with wide
open portals and special lighting ef
fect to lure the trade: dainty bars
all prettied, up with garish, bizarre
taste; evidently calculated to appeal
to a certain sex and evidently pat
ronized freely by that sex.
Three guesses which sex and then
I'll tell you the right answer.
For many years medical observers
have noted a gradual approach of the
sexes to one another, that is, men
are becoming effeminate, and women
virile. Historically, such a change
has always marked race decadence.
They are not Inverts, but just un
manly men, unwomanly women, weak
characters, nonentities, who frequent
these unwholesome drinking places.
I don't like grapefruit, but I con
cede It Is a wholesome, healthful food
for anyone who does like It. Z hate
tomato, but I worry It down because
I believe the vitamins In It are go-.-d
for me. I don't believe anybody nat
urally likes a cocktail or a highball.
That's not the reason why people
like their drink. They like It for the
narcotic efect of the alcohol. They
have In their makeup an Inferiority
complex, and the alcohol enables
them for the space of an hour to
forget It and feel comparatively hap
py. That explains the attraction of
the cocktail room for delinquents.
A large percentage of automobile
acldenta must be charged against the
privilege which subnormal persons ex
ercise when they take a little drink
shortly before driving home. Inno
cent victims of these accidents must
not complain. Such Indulgence is
quite legal now. In fact It Is re
garded as smart by the dimwits.

Production
Autos are now getting near the end
of their run. but they have been
holding up well. All figures from De
troit show activity and optimism in
preparation for the start of new pro
duction In August. One notable fac
tor Is thst this Is the biggest year for
trucks since 1929. Indicating again
that business Itself Is a buyer.
A steel trade publication recently
carried a line that Henry Ford has
sent out an Inquiry for 90.000 to
140.000 tons of steel, the lsrgest such
Inquiry In several years. (Incident
ally, Ford will exceed his promise of
a million cars this year.)
There Is not much else to brsg
shout in production. Textiles are
mixed; tobacco strong: machinery
strong. .
Sales
Proof that people have money and
are spending It msy be found In sales
figures. The department store figures
represent only city buying, but the
rural flgurea are even better. A Sears-
Roebuck statement for the four
weeks ended July 15 showed buslnesa
40 per cent above last year. It was
the best business for that period
since 1929. Oood shopping weather
and crop prospects were responsible.
NHA
The 7 per cent drop In payrolls
since May and a 4 per cent decrease
In employment may be blamed part
ly, but certainly not entirely, on the
breakup of the NRA codes. In fact,
some government economists doubt
whether the codes had anything to
do with It. They base their conclusion
largely on the fact that figures on
ho urly rates of wages have shown no
such decrease. Also the figures on
production are not collected from the
same Industries as the figures on em
ployment and poyrolls. which may
account for some discrepancy.
In general the government authort
tlea believe the larger Industries have
II ed up to their promise to mslntaln
code standards.
Incldentslly. there Is no Indication
that prices hsve been affected by
breskdown of the codes. In fact, a

Exuberant Granulations.
What can be done with flesh that
grows In a wound, hindering It from
healing? (O. A.)
Answer "Proud flesh" Is the pop
ular name for exceslve growth of the
normal granulation tissue which is
the scaffolding In the process of
wound repair. The best remedy is
clean excision granulation tissue Is
without nervea, so the skilful sur
geon can remove It palnlesly. Skin
will not grow uphill, so such exuber
ant granulations must be leveled be
fore the wound can heal. Old timers
destroyed the exceslve granulations
with caustics, but that Is a mesy.
uncleanly and rather unsafe method.
The Dawn Patrol.
A town council pased an ordinance
providing that milk deliveries from
November 1 to April be only between
the hours of 8 a. m. and 8 p. m.
Aside from the disturbance of rest
caused by the milkman leaving milk
at dawn, it was argued that milk left
on the doorstep cold nights freezes,
pushes up the cap, and so Is exposed
to licking by cats. etc. (Mrs. J. K.)
Answer Sounds sensible enough.
Why should any neighborhood submit
to the racket made by milk delivery,
garbage and ash collection, or other
unnecesary noises in the night? Any
business that seeks the privilege of
disturbing the rest of potential cus
tomers, Is a poor sort of business.
