BAY, GRAIN and MACHINERY-- One trouble is that vice-investigators are entirely different from vice presidents. I mean, the former get all the publicity. And the trouble with most vice-investigations <s,„that their only result is demotion for one cop and a big bill for the taxpayers. When It, comes to investigations which rip open stock deals, bank busts and eloping-promoters, the trouble with them is, the rip is seldom big enough to see what's inside. Or if it's a wide rip, all the evidence has had time to fall out on the other side while the whereases were being written by the committee. Nevertheless I realize that the Investigation instinct is a natural, na- | tional and inevitable one. .Investiga- | tions have been a popular pastime ever i since Adams' cat stuck her nose in tne nrst nre and. got all burnt up about elToct that we are a healthy-minded i rac<* with home-loving tastes and sane, conservative business methods, you'd rush around discussing the revelation with your friends, wouldn't yon? Well, neither would I. Iiut just the same I'd like to see truths like that brought out at a fair ratio--say one such truth to every three half?truths about Reds, frauds and graft. The otj^er day Uncle Sam paid off over six hundred million bucks worth of debts and not a radical discussed the matter. They all put cotton in their ears and went on yelling about revolution.. By the way, a swell investigation might be started to find out why Reds wear cotton in their ears. We already know it's not to clean 'em. Must be so they can't hear what they are saying- Or do they take It out when they talk to each other? Of course there are many minor subjects which could be Investigated with a fair amount of profit and excitement, such as why women wear straw hats in February and felt hats "in August.
