Show howe about abou t 0 where hope Is highest need another win receiverships C bell syndicate service by ED HOWE I 1 TALKED lately to a cautious con lve man who had just made an automobile trip to florida he ile says that at one place a new perfect road was encountered 74 miles long in traveling the entire distance not a half dozen other automobiles were encountered probably the bonds issued to build the road are in default the cautious conservative man sat beside the driver and says that except at turns the entire distance was made at the rate ot of a mile a minute that finally th s speed seemed a little slow they had picked out a certain town to reach by nightfall and since there was nothing to hold them why not get along the conservative cautious gradually grow in recklessness on the trip a call was made on a man in georgia who lives in a palace of pink marble costing a million dollars ile owns nearly all of a county a town and a marble quarry such a man would seem lucky this man wasn gasn t three days later he was hurried to a hospital for a dangerous operation the lucky man was sev enta pine nine years old at an other otherl place a call was made on a man twenty five years old who had three thousand turkeys gobbling about his farm for several days the conservative cautious man did not see a newspaper or hear bear a radio and al at most no conversation the country through which he passed was so fine and the people so polite he almost had hope tor for his country again no starvation no rioting anywhere but on reaching the end of his jo irney the newspapers were again available and again the conservative cautious man was greatly disturbed fearful of the future almost without hope 0 0 0 one of the troubles with civilization Is it doesn doean t have enough private watchmen to aid the pol ce I 1 have noticed that most of the more imbor tant business men employ private watchmen at night and these watch men carry pistols we have adopted all I 1 I 1 ec essary lows laws to help civilization thus recognizing the truth that such laws are just and sensible and for the greatest good of the greatest number but worthy citizens good enough and in the majority are too careless in seeing that the laws are en forced every good citizen should dally daily be a private wat watchman climan and as gist in correcting the ill III behaved in the minority if necess necessary ary to establish their authority and the law of god the good citizens should form vigilance committees and be rou rough gb on occasion I 1 go so far as to believe the younger men should form militia companies and without expense to the state or anyone become a force for the corn com mon sense morality that has lately been br breal ealing ing down the first thing we must do in the present crisis if we hope for betterment Is for the well behaved majority to control the corn com para lve tive few who violate the law as vagrants disturbers house breal ers tramps radicals flophouse flop house patrons and in general attacks on the r civilized rules of conduct A great fight has been going on over the world for a long time and with growing intensity d diring iring the past decade friends of decency should realize that the prole farians have achieved the victory and w wipe ape out the disgraceful disgrace fil it defeat they have suffered the north the fast vast the west has bufferd suf ferd another B ill run we must have a iother tox fox another win for the majority and the peace long experience has reco becom in mended I 1 rarely hear of a congressional in vesti gatlon that does not se seem em trifling and very expensive but put one Is going A federal j idge on 01 no now w worth while Is being investigated because of out fees he allowed receivers in bankruptcy one receiver was allowed for services probably honestly worth three or four thousand dollars I 1 know nothing about the case except the testimony in the pers and this includes charges that the ju ige shared in the fees that the cash to avoid fu min anney ey was paid in there Is rarely ture exposure a j idge who does not award out raucous fees to members of his profession I 1 cannot remember a time when this has not been done and with out serious protest from congress until now nothing going on in wall street pravio is to 1429 1929 was equally corrupt careless or whatever one please 1 to call it we have lately been si sl delally slipping in morals but this receiver ship scandal has gone on a long time corruption in police pollee departments has neier been worse the police pollee have oc oe been investigated but I 1 c caslo asio nally have not before noted judg judges es being called to account as in this case for once it seems to me a congressional committee has done a just important and worthy thing nothing in a man s life Is more ina than acknowledging faults and trying to remedy the them son for faults are always as annoying as a wart on a b h isy finger at least rub the wart with bacon rind and bury it under the eaves of the house make some effort to get rid of it t 0 0 when you have hard luck there Is of course only one thing to do en to imi rove it the wont
