CRAVEN-CATHCART VS MORAL TURPITUDE
\[0W that the countess of Cathcart and her much adver
tised “moral turpitude” has been permitted to enter
the United States, we believe that congress is face to face
with a brand new paramount issue that needs immediate
attention. The best solution of the mess we know is to
tack an amendment and several codicils on the well known
tariff law so as to provide ample protection for our home
grown product of this nature. With our natural re
sources and our vaunted initiative, we are just able to
supply ourselves with moral turpitude as we are with
steam engines or dishpans. We do not need to bring any
of it in from England, where we are told it has become a
flourishing industry. In fact, if we are going to permit
the promiscuous importation of moral turpitude into this
country, such as was done lately by the countess of Cath
cart and the earl of Craven, if we can not somehow stop
the flood of this cheap European brand, what incentive
is there for us to develop our own supply of moral tur
pitude? What hope can we hold out to an infant indus
try ?
We don’t know exactly what moral turpitude is, but
we know a lot more who are just as dumb. We under
stand, however, that it is largely composed of propagan
da, official stupidity, and press agents. Of course there
is a dash or two of spice in the mess. But we still main
tain that the American product can be made just as good
as the European. We have plenty of morals, and we can
find enough turpitude somewhere and then blend the in
gredients so harmoniously that our home-grown moral
turpitude will be just as good as any English brand, even
if it may be a little more expensive. Therefore we be
lieve that the best thing the present Republican adminis
tration can do is to protect this infant American indus
try so that it can be built up to its proper proportions.
The Old World can’t slip anything over on us like the coun
tess of Cathcart more than once.
Family physicians are sounding warnings to fat girls
and women against dangers of dieting; girls, don’t short
en your life by starving your body—laugh the fat off, or
laugh at it.
BEAUTIFYING SEWARD
SUNSHINE, and the breath of Spring, which has ar
rived in Seward is responsible for the energetic and
voluntary movement under way to rid the town of the
winter’s accumulation of mbbish. Nothing attracts vis
itors quicker than a town’s cleanliness and in this respect,
Seward has enjoyed a commendable reputation. Noth
ing contributes more toward making a healthful and con
tented attitude than this form of civic pride.
TTE HAVE read all about this new scheme for assuag
W ing our national thirst by converting vinegar into al
cohol, and there is only one bad thing we can say against
it. We greatly fear it is going to make the well known
and luscious dill pickle contraband of war. Rob us of
our bottles if you must, but for heaven’s sake spare us
our dill pickles.
ARE THE POLICE TO BLAME?
'THE description of the cigar store holdup in yesterday’s
* dispatches makes us wonder if the criticism heaped
upon the various police departments of the country are not
undeserved, at least to a great extent.
Here we have a murderous gunman with a reputation
as a professional killer and holdup caught in the act of
trying to break into the rear of a hotel by the speedy ex
pedient of shooting the lock and sentenced to one year in
jail and parolled by a sap board of pardons. An officer
making such an arrest has to appear in court on his own
time. In other words after having walked beat for 8
hours he has to go and spend two or three hours in court
which are technically alloted him for leizure. After that
to see continuously the evidence disregarded, and crimi
nal after criminal turned loose to prey upon the people
by some senile judge or a pardoning board composed of
political nut would make an Angel lay down on the job.
Peggy Joyce has divorced her fourth husband, so can
didates for No. 5 may now form in line on the right.
In Pima county, Ariz., a school applied for a teacher
who could “smoke, dance, sing, play the piano, look at
tractive and entertain nicely.” The requirements were
filled by the board, in the person of a young woman who
had been fired from another school for doing these things.
