The Menace Of Checkers
THE city of La Crosse, in Wisconsin, seems to be some
what like the city of Lynn, Mass.; that is, it evidently
has a mayor who is fond of making unusual and peculiar
rules for the guidance of his fellow citizens.
Lynn's mayor, you will remember, passed all kinds of
edicts regarding the length of women's skirts and the
like.
Now the mayor of La Crosse if press dispatches are
to be believed announces that checkers must not be
played in public places. He has been nourishing a cam
paign against gambling, and he says that checkers is
potentially as bad as a game of craps. Hence no more
checkers in public
This is the first time we have heard that the playing
of checkers could be an evil and immoral pastime. The
people of La Crosse now know just how the people of
Lynn have been feeling.
' More Funds Are Needed
RODNEY DUTCHER points out that the new adminis
tration in the U. S. Indian bureau is doing its level
best to relieve the distressing conditions on government
reservations, but that it is sadly hampered by a lack of
funds.
For some time our treatment of our Indian wards has
been little short of a disgrace. We now have competent,
intelligent men in charge of this work, and they are do
ing their best to remedy matters; but they cannot go far
without more money.
The budget bureau has refused to increase their
funds. Only congress can relieve the situation. It is
hoped that congress will act quickly and make available
whatever sum is needed. The Indians deserve better
care than they have been getting, and no federal econ-
omy program should oe auowea to bu.hu m w
A Real Murder Myste:
IT IS altogether a peculiar affair, this Ozark mystery
murder case. It sounds as if some clever fiction
writer must have had a hand in arranging things.
A girl accuses four men of murdering her sweetheart,
saying that she saw them do it The four are arrested.
They promptly produce a man, alive and well, who says
that be is the supposed murder victim.
N The girl denies that he is the man, and so does an.
other man, a former friend of the girl's sweetheart But
other people insist that he is as, of course, he does him
self. All in all, it made such a puzzle that the jury ac
quitted the prisoners. From this distance it is hard to see
how. it could have done anything else. But what did
happen that night? There is evidently a lot to thia thing
that hasn't been told.
EDITORIALS
From Over the Nation
A LETTER THAT FAILED
Forbes Magasnle: When James
H. Rand, Jr., now chairman of the
board ot Remington Rand Inc.,
was a salesman of bank equipment
be called one day on the late
Frank B. Munsey. The latter was
Inst preparing to open the Mun
sey banks In Baltimore and Wash
ington. Toung Rand was questioned In
the most minute detail by Munsey
as to tbe merits and demerits of
different types ot bank equipment.
Then the newspaper and magazine
owner told tbe salesman to wait
outside for a few momonts.
"I'll give you a letter to my
manager In Washington," he said,
"and yon can go after him for the
order."
Very much elated. Rand waited
for the letter which was sealed
and jumped on a train to Wash
ington. There be met the Munsey
representative, went oyer his story
and got an order for 125,000
worth of equipment forgetting to
present the letter.
A day or two later Mr. Rand
came across the missive In his
pocket and opened It:
"Learn all you can from this
man," It said. In effect, "but don't
buy anything from him If you can
help It."

majority waa overturned to re

paign cry expressed It, "He kept

April President Wilson asked con
gress to declare war; and a con
gress eleoted largely on local Is
sues followed bis bidding.
The European engineers ot the
war knew better than to allow tbe
people to have their say. The
Idea wae driven home to all ot
them that their lives and property
and even their national existence
was menaced; the only question
that remained was, who could
strike the first blow In self-defense.
To permit a popular vote
would have been to provide a cool

opportunity.
The logical next step eft- tbe
ratification ot the Kellogg pjet by
almost the entire world would be
to submit another general treaty,
nnder which all the signatories
would agree tfcst only their people
could declare war.
Then the question of war guilt
could be placed fairly and square
ly on a nation that voted such
declaration.

YESTERDAY'S ANSWER
a step bcakward. Yet Fresidtnt
Hoover and some members of
congress are reported to have
taken nnder consideration a plan
ot this sort worked out by a De
troit engineer and approved by
Senator Fhipps, chairman of the
senate committee on poatotflces
and post roads.
The plan Involves the construc
tion ot a network of toll roads
by the national government in
conjunction with states and mu
nicipalities or counties. Bonds
would be Issued at a low rate of
Interest to finance .the enter
prises. The toll roads wonld be
operated by public agencies until
the net revenues completely ex
tinguished tbe bonded indebted
ness. After that they would be
opened to the public as tree
motor highways.
There are those who prefer
privately financed and privately
constructed toll roads, and who
discover many objections to their
operation by the government. Al
ready the coming ot the automo
bile has resulted In the construc
tion by private enterprise of nu
merous toll bridges over rivers.
Tbe traffic problem In many
parts of the country is serious
and Is becoming steadily more
and mora complex with the amat
lng Increase ot automotive ve
hicles. The Idea of toll roads is
natural enough, considering tbe
cost to taxpayers of the road pro
grams already carried ont or In
process of formulation or execu
tion. The ultimate decision In
the premise cannot be foreseen,
but the suggested plan Is worthy
of study. Whether It be rejected,
modified or adopted, discussion
ot Its various aspects can scarce-

WASHINGTON, Jan. I As
far aa the Whit House and the
8tate Department are concerned
th open soason on the Reds
seems to be over.
Even th Department ot Labor
appears to have adopted a more
liberal policy In considering the
admission or deportation ot per
sona holding radical political be
liefs. '
Various slates and municipal)'
ties enjoy dragging Communists
to jail aa soon aa they open their
mouths, often Imprisoning thorn
tor long terms, but Washington
no longer seta the example.
Alarming th Patriot .
This fact haa been giving th
professional super-patriots here
a pain In the neck. For the
first time they are In the same
position as th Reds that Is, they
become a group of mslcontents
dissattslfed with th government.
In order to raise money they
must sell the Idea that Prealdent
Hoover and Secretary of State
Stlmson aren't as patriotic as
they are.
Hoover in his time has bolls
ed as loudly about th "Bolshe
vik menace" aa anyone, but th
other day when he had SO or 40
yourg folks who had staged a
Communist demonstration near
th Whit Hons turned loose
by tbe police he indicated a
chang or policy toward auch de
monstrations. Cal Conlldg sat
In th Whit Hons time and
again when participant In them
were carted off to th booeegow.
without ever a word.
Ot course, th thing was over-
don. In announcing th presi
dential attitude. Secretary George
Akerson, with his customary air
of nnctuous superiority, felt call
ed upon to lower th Whit
Honse dignity with contemptuous
reference to "discourtesy" and
"cheap martyrdom." The poor
nlnnle at the jail undoubtedly
thrilled at th thought that
they were considered worthy ot
thia outburst. Nevertheless, If
there are no more such paradee
near the White Hons It will in
dicate that th Communist are
disappointed at being neRber
jailed nor fined. In th past
they hav otlen put the White
Hons reporter and photo
graphers In their debt, by enliv
ening dull day.
The more liberal attitude which
ha become apparent her does
n't mean that th government is
getting soft or that th country
I going to th dogs. It seems
rather to mean that Hoover and
Stlmson are tired ot having the
country made ridiculous by such
action as gave Secretary of
State Kellogg the nlcknam of
Nervous Nellie."
Th decision to admit the
Count and Countess Karolvl Into
tb country 1 th most signific
ant Indication to date. The
Karolyla ar B'-lallsts and Kl-
logg and hi predecessor Hughes
Insisted that they mustn't come
In. No reason wa ver given
eo everyone assumed It waa Just
because they were Socialists, not
It wonld hav lookd ever so
fnnny If, a(tr making luch a
flattering hoop-t-doo over Bam
say Mac Donald, th Socialist
nramler ot England, our govern-
ent had continued to oar iu

that. .. ,

government appear to hav been

that things aren't Just like they
used to be.
But tbat sltiltng noise which
yon may bear Is Washington's
