Robberies of banks at Quincy, 111., Hannibal and at Bay in Gasconade county 'have been traced to bandits who made their headquarters here. In addition to these major crimes many thefts and robberies in and near the city have bwn attributed to criminals who find a safe haven in the Capital City. It is not difficult to understand why this should be so. Both police and prosecuting officers have not seriously interfered with underworld characters, and unless the prosecuting attorney, the city attorney, the sheriff and the police take some drastic steps to curb and rout the criminal element in our midst, our people may expect anything to happen and should prepare themselves accordingly. When our constituted authorities fail rhen our local government fails and crime runs rampant.

It is inconceivable that large operations of dives, such as those raided by federal and St. Louis officers the first of the week, should not be known by local officers. They are here on the job every day, but outside officers come in and locate dives within a few days and make arrests without the formality search warrants or affidavits charging crimes. It Is definitely known that machine guns were brought to one of the city's chief gambling joints recently, and it just as well be known that machine guns are not brought to the city for any good purpose, when gambling and crime dives are permitted to operate without being molested, they draw criminals of the worst type, and it to there where robberies and thefts are planned. Everyone knows where these dives are and what they do, and why they are not raided and prosecuted is more than we can understand.

Mayor Asel has succeeded in getting a new promise from Chief Burger and his men to clean up the city, and our people have taken new courage in this decision. They are sensible men and will not raid homes or other places unless they are sure of law violations. When they know this they should make raids whether the prosecuting attorney issues search warrants or not. Underworld characters have a canny way of knowing what officers do, and if police will raid without any notice they will get results. The only way to get gangsters and dives is to go out and get them.

If thb police and the sheriff will do this and pass them on regularly to the prosecuting officers they will redeem themselves in the estimation of the people. Then if the prosecuting officers lail in their duty by continuing a nominal fine policy, the voters will take care of that next year, though that may be too late. We believe Jefferson City and Cole county people are determined to get rid the criminal element in both city and county and thus assure safety to life and property. PARING FEDERAL COSTS Americans who hope that federal expenses will be reduced and that federal taxes will not be increased-and everyone harbors such a hope-must observe with distinct approval the efforts of President Hoover to balance the budget. Early in the year he held conferences with one after another of the department heads and urged upon them the necessity of reducing their estimates for the coming year to the lowest possible point, Several times recently he declared that all individuals, organizations and factions ought to cooperate for the reduction of federal expenses now and in the future.

It is generally conceded that his appeal to the American Legion at Detroit prevented that organization from making a demand which, translated into law, would have laid a burden of two billion dollars upon the national treasury. Within the past few days he has announced in most vigorous fashion his desire that expenditures the navy be restricted to the absolute minimum consistent with national safety, if the country escapes increased taxation during the coming year the credit must go to the President, But this effort is entirely in accord with all of his efforts during his administration, which has been solely for the welfare of the people What the President, has done for the nation, Governor Caulfield is doing for the state. With revenue in a decided slump, the Governor has resolved definitely that his administration shall not leave a debt upon the people ot the state and in order to accomplish this he i paring department5 and institutions down so that total expenditures will be kept within the revenue. While we have been complaining about ome of the modern recipes, there are a few old or.es that have come down through the years i a and unchanged. For instance, pumpkin pie has not been adulterated in the least.

Now that the deer season Ss open, would it not be in order to declare a wide open season on the bears and bulls of the stock exchanges? THE BRITISH ELECTION Probably no other contest of ballots in the world in recent years attracted so much attention as the British election held Tuesday, and it brought joy to the entire world. It demonstrated that a gteat people htK not lost faith and confidence in a quiev, orderly and constitutional government, which is one of the hopes of the world. The people oi the United States especially found much satisfaction in the outcome of the British election, as it demonstrated a the British people, always a great people, can keep calm and deliberate in a national crisis and out their problems on a sound basis. It was also gratifying to learn that Ramsay MacDonald, or.c of the statesmen of the world, was given a decisive vote of confidence. During the past year he sacrificed much in order to preserve his and has been one of the leaders in bringing ord-r out of world chaos.

Not only the British people owe him much, but, like President Hoover, the entire world owes him much. Certainly nations like Great Britain, France, Germany and the United States must stand out against the growing menace of communism, and England took a decisive step in that direction yesterday. Jefferson City has a live merchants organization. While they work quietly, they are constantly planning a better and a more reasonable service to their patrons and at the same time they are attempting to widen their patronage territory. Both are worthy efforts and should be continued.

Just now they arc planning to render the Jefferson City trade territory a service in Christmas trade that will be unsurpassed in any other Missouri City. Incidentally, they are working out a pleasant surprise for the holiday season lor the followers of old Krisa Kringle. The merchants will leave nothing undone to provide a pleasant Christinas tor the Capital City and surrounding territory. Comments From Other ers A SALES TAX ON LUXURIES Dispatches from Washington indicate that government officials are giving favorable consideration to a selective sales tax as one means of balancing the federal budget and broadening the basis of taxation, now admittedly too narrow from the standpoint of justice. As yet the discussion is only in the tentative stage, but it is understood that, should a sales tax be proposed by or on behalf of the administration, it would cover only articles of comfor', and luxury' and would not tax food, fuel or other actual necessities.

As the Daily News has declared repeatedly a fair sales tax would not contravene the sound principles of public finance. In many instances a small tax would be absorbed by the manufacturers anrt merchants, and the public would not be aware of its existence. When consumers became conscious of the tax it would not be felt as a burden. Moreover, the moral and political effects of that consciousness would be beneficial. Waste and extravagance in public affairs arc due in large part to the erroneous notion that the government can raise billions in magic ways, without overtaxing the citizens.

A selective sales tax would be a good beginning. The number of articles subject to the tax could be increased if and when that action commended itself to the intelligent citizenry and its Daily News. EXPLOITING THE UNEMPLOYED Any effectiveness which the "march" upon Jefferson City might have had was destroyed by the radical character of its leadership. Governor Camfield spoke for the entire state when he flatly rejected the demands of the delegates for a dole and denounced the agitators who seek to exploit the present situations for their own political ends. The problem of unemployment is receiving the sympathetic attention of the nation.

But cur sympathy stops abruptly when the problem is used as an excuse for trying to impose a foreign social and political system upon this country by violence if necessary. It has been the consistent policy of the Communist party all over the world to take advantage of every opportunity to promote civil disorder and revolution. he party has its headquarters hi Moscow, which dictate to the national brarnchcs It does not hesitate to abuse the freedom of speech and organization granted by democratic governments although its own administration of Russia is utterly intolerant toward the advocates of another system. Missouri is mindful of its obligation to the unemployed. But it is intolerant of agitators who would impede economic recovery by exploiting their own City star.

WHY GANGSTERS FLOURISH In the Capone defense conducted by a lawyer spoken of as a brilliant member of the criminal bar six gamblers take the stand and swear that they are common gamblers-bookmakers, etc- giving dates and places, and naming Al Capone as having been a loser in their games. Just why weren't these seif-conressed felons stood up before the bar and sentenced then and there? Could any more convincing evidence of their guilt be adduced by the legal process of arrest, arraignment, indictment, postponement after postponement, jury trial, conviction, sentence, appeal, release on bail, retrial because of a misplaced comma, disagreement, quash? A lawyer instantly says: "Why, you dumb idiot you cant convict a man on his own testimony' you can't try a man without an indictment jury of his peers; and even if you could, this is the wrong jurisdiction. ou wculd have to go imo another room or across the street before another judge!" And yet we wonder why gamblers flourish and the grasshopper is a York Sun. JEFFERSON CITY POST-TRIBUNE EDil'Ori'S NOTE: This is the sixth of 12 exclusive stories on Thomas A. Edison as told by Major William J.

Hammer, lifelong: friend and scientific associate of the great inventor. Major went to work for Kdison at his Menlo Park laboratory in 1879 and rapidlly grew in importance in the great electrical wizard's organization. He is now a consulting engineer and chemist in New York CHv BY WILLIAM JOSEl'H HAMMER Lifelong I'riend and Scientific Associate of Thomas A. Edison, as Told to Willis J. Ballinger (Copyright, 1931, NEA Service, Inc.) One night at Menlo Park, light was born into the world--real light.

But the nativity of incandescence as a usable light was unattended by any solemn wise men. over $1,000,000 and getting more valuable every minute. The Hammer collection set a use- TM fashion in the technical world. When the Bell people beheld it they wondered why something like that nadn't been done for the'tele- phone.

Those connected with development of the telephone were along years. Soon they would be dead So a wonderful collection of the history of the telephone was made. Today this is being done with all inventions. nT Hammer was intrusted all Jie tests and records of the incandescent lamp when Edison was pondering on the problem.

passage of the current and capable of standing high voltage without melting or breathing down. Platinum failed on all these parts. Edison began working on the incandescent lamp in 1373. In that year he attended the transit of Venus Expedition in the west. He had gone there to attempt the measurement of the heat of the star Arcturus, which is at one of the farthest points in the heavens.

To do this he had devised what he called a "tasimeter." This consisted of a piece of carbon mounted in such a way as to be tremendously susceptible to heat. The tests did not turn out very well, but, on the expedition, he fell in with some of the leading scientists of the nation. On the way back they suggested that all go and see "old man Wallace's laboratory in Connecti- It was in 1880. And on the memorable night the hands of the clock Minted somewhere between 10 and 12. A worker mounted the steps of the laboratory three at a time.

His name was William Joseph Hammer and in his hand he tightly clutch- a small lamp. Searching out Edison on the floor he sped So his side with the momentous news. The word spread like wildfire--an incandescent lamp had actually burned for 1589 hours undiminished! Mechanics from the shops dropped their tools and hurried to the laboratory. Then began a triumphant procession. At the head walked Hammer, holding aloft the mother of rays that were to light a globe.

By his side inarched Edison, his face radiant. In serpentine style the marchers swept around the laboratory tables, started downstairs, wove in and out of the buildings. They sang. They cheered. They yelled themselves hoarse.

They clapped one another on the back Instinctively they sensed drama. A religion of incandescence had been founded. Sleepins; millions, coum- of the unborn, wore to embrace its rayful ritual. The incandescent lamp was undoubtedly Edison's greatest brainchild. But the did not regard it so He always maintained that his pre- premier accomplishment was his 3 -reat Jumbo ciynamo.

And his favorite invention was the phonograph. Now Edison was not the inventor or the incandescent lamp Many people have claimed that he was But Edison himaclf never acknowledged it. In fact he told Majo- Hammer juore than once that J-e was not. What he did was to make the first incandescent lamp usable commercial purposes. He was the father of the commercial incandescent lamp.

Many people put the origin of the dison incandescent lamp on October 21, 1879. But that was not the lamp. That lamp could never have seen used for commercial purposes. Edison had merely made a few im- orovcments on early efforts in that lamp, it was not until 1880 that the real product was turned out The lamp of 1879 burned only 40 lours. It stood only a feeble candlepower charge.

It contained platinum and that metal was more costly than gold. Edison had to discover how to extend the life of a bulb many-fold longer, how to substitute for platinum in the conducting current and how to increase the candlepower so more light could be given off. Up to the first -ip of Edison, the world had kerosene, candles, gas, whale oil and arc lights. All were hopelessly inefficient as compared with the incandescent light. Many of them moreover, highly dangerous Gas was particularly so.

There was the danger of suffocation. There was the inconvenience of leaks in the pipe, the blackening of the ceiling and walls, pipes freezing in winter the annoyance and cost of repairing pipes into which water had seeped' And then kerosene, gas. candles and the arc electric light were all liable to start a fire. Major Hammer made a tabulation of the number oi fires in New York City before the advent of the Edison" incandescent lamp. They were numerous and expensive as the following table shows: New Caused by Fj res woa Kerosene 259 5l "0 128,174,000 Matches for 35 22,570.000 Candles 88 30.667,000 Arc electric light 7 550.000 Incandescent lamp 1 Insignificant The arc electric light had insuperable handicaps in the competition for a safe and luminous electric hcrht.

This kind of a lisht had always to be burned standing straight upwards. If it inclined at an angle it promptly burst into flames. If it were rocked a little, ignition resulted. The incandescent lamp of Edison could be burned at any angle. It could be shaken at will No ignition could result.

Now, not only were there arc electric lights in existence Ion? before Edison began work on his incandescent lamp, but incandescence was nothing new. Major Hammer spent 34 hours collecting the history of the incandescent lamp. He sold his collection for S10.000 to the General Electric Company. Association. When Edison heard about the terms of the sale he remonstrated: "You can't sell that for $10,000.

Why I worth a good deal more than that."

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. --Glints of sunshine, breaking through rifts in the business clouds tne Pacific Coast, are in electricity in the nation. He had a wonderfully well- equipped laboratory.

So they went to see Wallace. It was here that Edison was greatly stimulated in his ideas on incandescence. Wallace was pottering away on arc lights trying to improve them. "Wallace," said Edison, "I believe I can beat you making an electric light. I think you are working in the wrong direction." Edison went back to Menlo Park and in 1879 the world was greatly startled to hear that Edison had solved the problem of the subdivision of the electric light by incandescence.

But the problem was still unsolved. The experiment of 1879 was simply one step to the final step. But the final step did not come until a year later. NEXT: Experiments with sewing thread, paper horseshoes and bamboo in the long, long search for electric lamp filament to substitute for platinum, which cost more than gold. Success at last!

The golden cream in the milk pail and the golden grain in the bin no longer are reduced to fool's dust. Eggs, butter, grain and dairy products, along with other products of the soil in the west, are putting a few more coins in the agriculturalist's jeans.

A weighty factor in the Pacific northwest is wheat, the price of which has turned up abruptly. "More than 25 per cent higher than prices obtainable earlier in the season," is the way R. j. Stephens, Spokane, manager of the Farmers National Grain Corporation, put it. With an upturn in price of 40 per cent since January, butter has indeed taken on an aureate hue.

The hen that lays the golden egg hasn't been hatched as yet, but golden specks in the way of higher prices have been noted. These products affect the pocketbook of the average farmer all over the coast.

These menial labors, performed alongside wife deserters, alimony dodgers, and ordinary thugs, the warden of the county jail said, would keo Al's mind off his troubles. As troubles, Moneypenny asserts the scarface gang overlord has many. Now in jail where he sits pending appeal from the federal prison term of 11 years imposed for evading income tax payments, Warden Moneypenny says that Capone merely sits and reads and thinks Mostly he reads. While his attorney, Michael J. Ahren, considers whether to appeal to the United States Supreme Court for Criiponc-'s admission to bail pending appeal from conviction in Federal Judge James H.

Wilkerson's Court, the tall, burly gangster has nothing to do but read detective stories. Moneypenny has expressed the opinion that these might not be any too good for Al. He intimated scrubbing and mopping are more constructive. The warden, however, cannot force Capone to scrub if the gangster doesn't want to. I A OIH SIRS.

"Well, I'll run up and see how Bill's making out. I'd like to get a look at that necklace myself. No objection?" "Go ahead." They had all gone and Mary found herself alone with Mr Jupiter in the library. She got up anil went over and sat down beside Mr. Jupiter in front of the fire.

"-Mr. Jupiter, there's something I must tell you--" He looked up vaguely, as if becoming aware of her for tho first time. Seeing the suffering in that lined face. Mary's beart failed her. "Eh? Oh.

yes." He smiled and roused himself, "i know--you're going to leave us. Well, we expected that. But we didn't think it would be so soon. Von and Dirk gohig to get married right off?" "No, no!" Mary assured him emphatically, much to her own surprise. "Not for a long time yet" Ho looked utterly bereft; what else could she have said? He was staring into the fire again His face was working, like that of a child who is trying hard not to cry.

Sick with pity. Mary looked away. "It's not the same without her Is it, child?" he said sadly. Dr. Jordan's words Hashed into her mind.

Taking a deep breath she plunged ahead. "Mr. Jupiter, last night my I had a telephone call from my HAZEL ROSS BY Service Inc. "I will. But he's so young.

He isn't 21 yet." She hadn't thought of it before but now it came to her that whatever Eddie bad been up to. his punishment would be tempered for him--he was still a minor in the eyes of the law. "I'm sorry to see you go. now more than ever," Mr. Jupiter resumed.

Eddie did not interest him much; he was of a different stripe from his sister, and he had never cared much about the boy, "I'll tell you. if it wasn't for this Dirk of yours--we had plans about you, Mama and I.

"I suppose there's hasn't been time." A LTHOUGH she had never seen him, Mary's heart was hardened against him. It was plain to see how much his parents missed him, how puzzled they were by his continued absence. Now she tried to soften the blow for the old man. "He may be out ot town." "Well, he's no business to be!" lie snapped. Instead of amazement grew.

up during the party, and-- JJIS face was turned politely toward her, hut she knew he was not listening. "That so? How's he getting on?" He was making an effort to be interested. But to her own ears she sounded like a fearful fool, chattering of her own affairs at such a time. "I'm afraid he's In trouble, Mr Jupiter. I don't know what but I a afraid it's pretty bad." amateur--a bungler!" She must not think about that!) the flat old voice replied lifelessly, "nothing that a few dollars won't fix, i gu 0ss He come out all right.

Few things in the ivorld that a few dollars won't fix." Oh, it isn't that! But I asked him here--and he hasn't come. I don know where he is.

Man's place to worry about a woman. Let him do that!" the house. "Of course. Bruce will marry some a luit then we never see as much of Bruce as we'd like to." The shadow of a very real bitterness crossed his face. "No, that might not happen anyway in our lifetime, and like as not it would be one of those foreign women he's always writing about No, we thought we wouldn't wait for that.

We had you here, and liked you, and we thought we'd ju'st adopt you. Now, what would you have said to that?" It was like a fairy-tale come true. She found herself laughing and crying at once. "It would have been wonderful! Perfectly wonderful!" "Yes--well," ho said, pleased as a child, "we'll have to see about it when all this is over. Things are bad right now.

But you mustn't let it worry you, or change your plans a jot. Bruce'll bo alons; any day now. I dare say there'll be an answer to my cable before the day's over, and when he conies he'll brighten things up a bit." Mary tried to believe tlint tins was so ont could only reflect i ly on what sho had heard of the year. "We've taken a lot of comfort in you, Mary," Mr. Jupiter continued more gently.

"You may as well have some of what we've got, along with Bruce. The Rtiytliors have got nothing. Never will have anything. Steve's too close. He wouldn't plant a nickel that wouldn't raise a dollar." Mary sat stunned.

They ioved her enough for that--to have made her their own daughter, given her a share in the immense Jupiter fortune! But would he feel the same about It, when he knew? "That would have been wonderful," she managed to say, "bullet's not think about it now." nurse Dr. Jordan had sent came in, starchlly efficient, and interrupted them. "Time for Mr. Jupiter to get some rest." she told him flrmly. Those were Dr.

Jordan's orders. Bed, and his luncheon brought up to him. "Faugh!" The nurse recoiled before his rejection of her. "Where's Spence? Who told Jordan to send a woman over here? You bnck and tell him I said to mind in? own hiifir.er.s. I guess I've still R-jt sense enougb to know when to go to bed." When the indignant lady had finally been persuaded tha't her presence was not wanted and Mr I Jupiter had Iiecn delivered into tho hands of his ancient servitor Mary bethought herscif of Bessie.

It might not hurt to drop a cautious word. Spence could not say where she was. She wns a light-hearted baggage and he would just like the job of discharging her if she didn't tend to business better than this. "Oh. I wouldn't do that just yet!" Mary said hurriedly.

"She's probably around somewhere." "She'll be wherever the men are," was Spence's acid reply. This proved true enough. For as Mary mounted the stairs to go to her own room she was surprised to hear voices on the landing, one of them the maid's. "Don't you know any movie dl, rectors, honest?" sue was saying. "Gee, I thought newspapermen knew everybody there is!" Tho voice of Bowen, the Star's reporter, replied wearily, "No I don't, and if I did, what of 'it? Listen, sister, I've got an edition to caich.

It you've got anything to tell me, let's have it and forget tho Hollywood stuff. Come on, what's it alt about?" "WfH you put my picture in the paper?" "Sure, sure.

"We--11," she lowered her voice to a whisper just as Mary hurried up the steps. "Oh, Bossie," Mary interrupted coolly, "Spence is looking everywhere for you.

Your friend will excuse you, I'm sure." The startled maid jumped and lied past her down tho stairs in precipitate haste, leaving Mary face to face with the embarrassed newspaperman. "Have you finished your work?" sho asliod coldly. "Because if you have, you'd holier go." Be Continued).
