He and Thomas Gately, Baltimore, were arrested by a policeman and a dry agent. Later they were released under bonds of $2,000 each. Cassidy, who already was at liberty under under $2,000 bond on a pending liquor case, said he was "framed" today.

TABE Is business Improving, after the "gamblers scare" that disturbed Wall street? Answer. TES. On a trip from California to fork recently, the atmosphere -was cheerful all the way. In the Hart, Schaffner and Marx main office in Chicago, M. W.

Cresap talks to customers himself, discussing business conditions with Arthur Phillips, vice-president of the M. M. Conn company, Little Rock, Arkansas. Mr Phillips was ordering plenty of goods. Mr.

Cresap said, business, temporarily disturbed in September, was recovering all over the country, his home town. Rochester, all the way from- Seattle on one side of the continent, to Key West, Florida, on the other. His business reaches every business community in- the United States. In New York, J. L.

Laun, of S. Straus and company, said "Demands for grood real estate bonds are more active than they have been in a long time. We are in the market for high grade loans, and plenty of them." Bishop Manning with the Pope's suggestion that Christians all over the world should pray for Russia and especially for kinder treatment by the Russian government of the Christian churehes. The Episcopal church of America will pray earnestly in accordance with the Pope's1 suggestion. Russia's government shows no signs of Jjaving been softened or having been influenced by prayer.

Yesterday in Chita, Siberia, ten thousand Bolshevik workmen paraded in the streets with anti-religious banners. Soviet authorities closed every church, synagogue and shrine in Chita. All of them will be converted into schools and "cultural" institutions. China held a torchlight procession to celebrate "the death of religion." They wiir find, however, that religion i will outlast their torchlight procession and the Russian government by many thousands of years. "If there had, not been a God it would have been necessary to invent one" is one of the best things Voltaire ever said, and absolutely true.

Meanwhile, business men in Europe and those that are intelligent in the United States, are not worrying abour Russia's treatment of religion. They are too much worried about other things. They discover to their horror that Russia is already beginning to undersell other countries in the world's markets. "Success in socialization drives would permit Soviet to undersell capitalists" is a collection of words that doesn't' please the -capitalists. England, Trance, Germany are worried about the competition in the nation in which everything goes to the working people, or to the government, no provision being made for MILLION or BILLION FORTUNES for private individuals.

The Russian government is something like the Henry Ford family. The Small Ford car earns enough to feed Henry Ford, and Mrs. Ford and Edsel Ford and the grand children. That's all that is necessary. No stockholders, crying for dividends, are to criticise the results.

In the long run of course Russia will not set up any industrial working man's Utopia. Theories are good, but human selfishness is powerful. A man of power will come along, as lie did in the person of Napoleon after the French revolution, and re-establish a reign of selfishness and individual effort. That's the best system that men have found so far. They may change from selfish competition to altruistic emulation later, but that's a long way off.

If you find me wild animal torn to pieces by another, in the forest or the jungle, you don't ask questions. They are wild animals and that actually they kill each other. When the police find one wild human being ton or beaten by others in the jungle that we call "a great city" they are not surprised. New York, ompeting with Chicago in gang killings, found James Tine-rello, in a Brooklyn snowdrift, bullets in his forehead, one in his stomach. An ex-convict and gangster, the I ride." After they killed him his brother gangsters piled snow on his 'body.

They rarely take so much trouble. While New York collects its gangsters that have had their ride, Chicago continues accumulating the gang element in prison. Four thoiftand of them have been put in jail this far. Some of the most distinguished killers are sal to be leaving town. They never supposed the citizens would take murder so seriously.

'The Interesting question is "Where are they going? Los Angeles notifies them not to come to southern California. Many of them of course will turn up in cities that encourage race track gambling, prize fights and dog race gambling. There is always money to.be made there. China reports her northern forces mobilizing march south against Chiang Kai-Shek. piracy, robbery, AND STRAVATION will be the by-products.

There could only be one or twoi hills "in Altoona roped off for any length of time. I'm not speaking in favor of my ear because I do not own any. But think of Jhe necessity of using cars. For instance the physicians and public officials. So you see it would be impossible to stop the cars.

The petitions, it was understood, will be placed in first in Phila delphia, immediately on arrival of the lieutenants, and will be distributed to other sections of the state within 24 hours.

The reiteration of Vare that he was not bluffing about his candidacy did not have a cheering effect on his former colleagues in the house.
