TOO TRUE! TOO TRUE’
What a row we are _a;! making
about the profiteers arid the graft
ers. says an exchange. Anybody
would think that our souls were
lily-white. But the fact is. public
morality rises to the level of our
private morality, and not an inch
higher—for we are the public.
The mar. who congratulates him
self because the streetcar conductor
misses his fare; the chap who steps
on the weighing scales before his
friend steps off to save a penny;
the merchant who offer "bargains"
that are not bargains; the stenog
rapher who wastes fifteen minutes’
time powdering her nose; the sales
man who steals his employer’s time
to josh a damsel over the phone;
the merchant who juggles his tax
return—these are all petty grafters
and profiteers.
If we can do these things, and
‘‘get away with it,” we complacent^
ly brag to one another. But if
somebody, operating on a larger
scale, but actuated by precisely the
same unprincipled principles of self
gain, makes us the victim, we bleat
and roll up our eyes at the other
fellow’s depravity.
It is always “the other fellow.”
As the French say, “It is to laugh,”
and what we all need is a sense of
humor.
ROOSEVELT MEMORIALS.
If a national organization is need
ed to establish a memorial to Theo
dore Roosevelt, it should determine
upon a memorial that is national
and not local. The idea of taking
over and preserving Sagamore Kill
is a good one, following a familiar
precedent which has preserved the
homes of many of our great men.
But .the Chicago Tribune believes,
the suggestion that a park or play
ground be created at Oyster Bay
should have no place in a national
organization’s plans. That is some
thing for Oyster Eay or New York
state to attend to. It is a local
tribute without national use or sig
nificance and wholly different from
the preservation of Sagamore Hill.
The national organization, says
the Chicago paper, should think in
larger term.'. Chicago and Illinois
have given a hint- We have named
a great state thoroughfare after
Colonel Roosevelt and will place
upon it appropriate monuments. The
National Roosevelt Memorial associ
ation might inaugurate a movement
for a highway across the continent
to be named for the statesman who
wrote the “Winning of the West,”
and who always thought in terms of
vigorous, all-embracing American
ism. West and East were united
and fused in Theodore Roosevelt.
What better symbol of his great
ness and what more appropriate
memorial to his sendee than a road
binding East and W’est?
NATIVE ENGLISH.
A visitor from the Westward
handed a friend of the Cordova
Times the following literary gem as
a specimen of native use of Eng
lish. He explained that while this
may appear a little odd to white
folks, the natives have no difficulty j
in arriving at the meaning intended !
| to be conveyed, and the ■warning is
I followed religiously:

MAKE PROGRESS
IN LANDRU CASE
PARIS.—Little headway has been
made in the case of Landru, “the
Gambais Bluebeard.” as the French
papers term him, who is charged by
the police with being responsible
for the disappearance of thirteen
women to whom he had promised
marriage.
The police have been investigat
ing for four months, and four times
a week Landru is taken from the
prison of La Sante to the office of
Judge Bonin, whose questions as to
the fate of the thirteen women
elicit from Landru evasive and at
times very witty responses. They
have got as far as sweetheart num
ber three and Landru’s flippant re
plies have nearly driven the judge
to nervous prostration.
Recently the judge announced
that he was going for a holiday.
Landru immediately chipped in with
the request that he. too, be permit
ted to take a vacation, as the re
mige of La Sante did not agree with
him. Might he not be allowed to
go to his villa at Gambais and hold
himself at the disposition of the
court? It was from Gambais villa
that Landru’s future spouses dis
appeared, never to be heard of
since.
I Judge Bonin asked Landru how
| it was that his son, who assisted
him in removing the furniture of
three of his fiancees, did not make
queries when moving that of Mrs.
Guillin, the third removal of furni
ture in six months. “Did he not
.find it strange?" asked the judge.
“My children obey orders, they
do not discuss them,” responded
Landru; “I have my misgivings as
jto the way you bring up your chil
dren, Judge,” he added sententious
jiy
Landru contended that he had an
order from Mrs. Guillin, drawn up
in legal form, giving him full power
of attorney to administer her prop
erty. “This document was not
found among your papers, therefore
I must conclude that it never ex
isted,*’ said the judge.
“And as you and your police, with
all the means at your command,
are unable to find Mrs. Guillin, I
must therefore conclude that she
never existed,” countered Landru.
Not one vestige of the missing
women has been found, and the
charge of murder against Landru
is growing weaker. There is no
“corpus delicti.” The villa at Gam

bais has been ransacked by the
police and ponds in the vicinity of
the villa have been drained, but it
would appear that the women have
vanished into thin air. To ques
tions as to the probable whereabouts
of the missing women, his relations
with them prior to their disappear
ance, Landru invariably replies: "I
am a man of the world; I cannot
betray the confidence of women.”
