DISGRACEFUL. LAXITY IN PAROLES.
Fortunately, the Department of Justice had been at
work on a co-ordinated program looking to removal of the
notorious abuses of the parole system of America prior to the
amazing revelation that both the men arrested in the Weyer
haeuser kidnaping case were exconvicts on parole and that
behind each of them was an extended criminal record. But
the President's interest in this ease and his prompt call upon
the department for action will help to hasten the procedure
that is demanded both by decency and needed protection of
the public.
Recent studios by Courtney Ryley Cooper and disclos
ures from various official and private sources have started
the process of arousing American public opinion to the men
ace of easy paroles for criminals who repeatedly have dem
onstrated their enmity for society". Misplaced sentiment,
not only for the parents of offenders but for the criminals
themselves, has been combined with official laxity and pol
itical influence to restore the freedom of thousands who had
been apprehended, convicted and sent to prison at great
cost. Thus have the processes of justice been frustrated by
the easy release of criminals, many of whom returned
straightway to their lawless careers.
It is that farcical and deeply menacing system that the
President and every law-abiding citizen of the country
would see destroyed. Humane consideration for first or oc
casional offenders is in no sense the issue. That may be
provided. But the parole practices that have been preval
ent are a blot upon the nation. They ought to be halted
forthwith. America no longer can afford to tolerate such
abuses if it would maintain the security of its people.
‘ COMES THE REVOLUTION.”
If you buy a meal in Wisconsin nowadays, and pay more
than 25 cents for it, you have to eat some cheese with it. Or,
to be exact, you have to buy some cheese, whether you eat
it or not. This is under the terms of a new law, signed re
cently, by Governor LaFollette, dqsigned to stimulate con
sumption of Wisconsin’s dairy products.
Maybe you don’t like cheese ? You'll buy it anyhow.
And it somehow reminds one of the story of the radical who
was haranguing a group of bums on the beauties of commun
ism. When the revolution came, he assured them, they
would all eat strawberries and cream for breakfast.
One brave soul objected, saying that he didn’t like
strawberries and cream. The orator wagged his finger
sternly and shouted: “Comes the revolution and you'll eat
strawberries and cream—and like it!”
. . .And in Wisconsin, you’ll eat cheese, nowadays—
and like it.—Exchange
“The printed page is the market place of the modem
world today. This is the place the people come to find their
wants. Banks, I am sorry to say, have been negligent in
this.”—W. R. Snodgrass, Union National Bank. Kansas City,
addressing members of the American Institute of Banking.
People used to ask a rich man the secret of his success.
Now they ask him to explain his income tax.

enemy is to let him live.
The hymn writer saiad: Rivers to
the ocean run. nor pause In all their
course. Unfortunately they do
pause now and then, as they have
in New York State, with a loss of
(ill lives and a property damage of
ten million dollars. A hundred and
thirty-five years ago, pioneers from
New England were pushing into the
Empire State on horseback and be
hind ox teams. They expected to
be delayed by rising waters. It
ought not to be the same now, in
New York or anywhere else. If
memory serves correctly, several
billion dollars of federal money
await distribution. There is small
reason why such primitive hazards
as freshets should have to be con
sidered. Now is the time for all
good men to come to the relief, not
of their party, but of flood control.

By a sort of diplomatic straw vote,
it has been ascertained that nobody
is going to stand in the way if Italy
concludes to clean up on Ethiopia.
During the past decade, the bars
have been let down considerably in
the matter of profane speech, yet
there are some who still shrink
considerably from speaking, and still
more from writing, the statement
that so an so has no more chance
than a snowball in hell. For such
the affairs of the day provide an
equally forceful but less jarring fig
ure of speech. If the odds arc
against anyone, it may be remark
ed that he has no more chance than
Ethiopia in Africa.

Nine Marriages By
Man Bring Him A
Gold Tooth & Jail
FAILURE TO OBTAIN SINGLE DI
VORCE LEAD'S TO ARREST
VARIOUS CHARGES
(By The Associated Press)
CHICAGO, July 29, —Ralph
Marks, 40 years old, sat in his cell
at the detective bureau here, smiled
until his gold tooth glitteied bright
ly and reminisced proudly concern
ing his nine wives, whom he mar
ried without the formality of se
curing a divorce in any case.
Marks, who was arrested hiding
behind a trunk in his father's home
says he is a marine engineer. The
New York authorities say, that in
addition, he is a parole violator, and
want him held for extradition. He
is charged with violating his par
ole from the Great Meadow priss
on, Comstock, New York, where,
in 1928. he was sentenced to serve
ten years for bigamy. It was his
second conviction on that charge.
The first was 18 months in Aub
urn in 1924.
Ralph’s gold tooth was a gift from
Florence, his seventh wife, who al
so gave him $2000 for a wedding
present. The first marriage was
to a little Italian girl in Chicago in
1912, when Ralph was 17 years old,
and the marrying habit never de
serted him.
