NO TIME TO WEAKEN

Ihe Republican counter-attempt to lay upon the Democratic administration the respousi- biiity for the leasing program in connection with the naval oil reserves is but following the natural instinct of self-preservation. Mir. Daugherty seems to have been the leader in this erasive policy, and therefore it is to be regarded as smoke-screen rather than A Darrage composed of substantial proiectiles Of the record and of fact. Since this is to he q fact-finding inquiry, the best answer to the Republican maneuver is the full snd con- piete exposition of the Democratic record with respect to the naval oil reserves. Undoubtedly the navy department took measures calculated 10 prevent any draining of the reserves into private wells. but surely the Republicans would not claim that such precautionary ef- 1ort IS to be confused with the free presenta
 tioh ot these reserves to the oil companies fla Vored by certain Republican high officials.
 It iS not feared that the tauntless Demo- [Eatic leader of the investigation Senator a~nomas J. Walsh of Montana, will allow the red herring drawn across the trail to lead plm rom pursuit of the big game. On the contrary the herring trail will but convince fhat astute investigator that the important Nuafry lies not far ahead and that the her ring trail IS the last desperate ruse to escone rapture. Let the Democrats be entirely with. pht rear. for that is always the only safe course Let the inquiry be relentlessly for. warded' and let the chips fall where they may The guilty Republicans are on the rim n, else at buy.

AFTER PAROLES NEW OPENS Es

One redeeming feature about Governor Brandon's remarkable parole record is that many of the objects of his emotional favor itism are soon back in jail as 'the result of new violations. It is recalled that one of the first of the Governors paroles was extended to man with quite parole record, one who boasted of sthat record and the ease with which his gmost recent one was ob- tained To be sure, an unparalleled record of paroles meant sat least an equal record of convictions. In yresentment at such brag- gadocio the Governor revoked the parole, but apparently learnel nothing of public value from the experienee. The parole of Frank J. Leyene of Mobile was one of the most extraordinary departures from the grounds of either reason or emotion that the Gov ernor has yet made, but he has still three years in which to surpass the performance. Within the past few days a man has been returned to jail for new offense, after hay ing been pardOned by Governor Brandon within few weeks after beginning q ten year sentence for manslaughter. Just why the Governor appears inclined to show con cern for those who take human life is not stated, particularly when there must be so many more deserving cases in the various state prisons of spersons to whom the parole legislation was especially designed to apply.
 For example, tfhere is the ex-service man reporteu to De AuIIerinS from Shell-ShOck, in need of hospital attention. and yet enslaved to coal company. Far be it from us to ad- wise the Governor to proceed to any further extension of the parole. But to free human beings, the helpless wards of the state. from mine slavery would seem to be an act of clemency worthy of any executive. We com. mend the subject anew to Governor Bran don. It is real test of the sincerity of his professions of sympathy for human unfortu- mates. As lonSssas he ignores this whole sale prostituti0AsSOf justice 10 the private greed. under fkAs unwarranted pretext of public need dfS9esenues, the people of Ala bama will placesSmall confidence in his pro- fesSions of concern for the individuals whose eases are urgently and separately brought to his attention

When You Rate Merl
By H. ADDINGroS BRUCE

On what principle do you rate the men of your acquaintance?
 Do you rate them according to their an cestry? .e .s
 Or according to the evidence they give of possessing ample financial resources?
 Or according to the power they wield in political commercial or other circles? g the above, does your rating of them depend on their character and their contribution to the welfare of their fellows?
 This last, it cannot be too strongly stated, is the principle which should absolutely gov ern the rating of men. Yet actually it com paratively seldom governs.
 People too readily permit themselves to be led astray by the glamor of family lineage, the glitter of wealth. the prestige of sue cess obtained perhaps merely by favoring circumstance or by cunning manipulation Hence they may not only tolerate, but show respect to men who in fact are quite insig. nificant so far as social productivity is con. cerned.
 This is an error of a grievous sort, reach ing to the hurt born of society and of the improperly rated.
 stimulus many among them sorely need Fiattered by the esteem shown them they continue in their faulty ways of selfgratify- ing sloth or luxury or arrogance or greed. F Inevitably this leads in the end to dis appointment and bitterness of heart In the case of large numbers it means an under mining of their health and possibly ant un- timely death..
 Some, figuratively speaking, rust away from sheer inertia.s Others burn themselves out by excesses. And there are those who collapse under the stress of an inner con. flict brought directly on by their failure to obey one of the first laws of their being effort for the common good.
 Again and again medical men find it nee essary to tell patients. tactfully or with blunt frankness as they deem the case re. quires:
 You are sick because you thing too much Of your own comforts and pleasures. If only you will do something worth doing and forget yourself in the doing of it, you will once more be we'll. Otherwise you may ex. pect to be out of health the remainder of your days" ..r -,
 Obviously, if there was anything like general regard for the principle of rating men according to character and social pro. dnctivity. there would be far fewer people falling i'll from ideness and uselessness and undue absorption in their own affairs. The spur Of social pressure, if nothing else, would lmpel them to behavior helping to keep them well.
 And obviously society would be the gainer too. Indeed, the world would then be a pleasanter place for everybody. and it's in habitants would enjoy the blessing of a civ llization really worthy of the name.

 ELEVATING THE HEN EGG

To the interruptions producer or dealer, an egg is an egg and that is all there is to it.. Eggs bring so much dozen, and if any in the dozen are rotten, then that is the trouble of the one who breaks it. Or at least 50 it has been ever since the common or domestic egg has been an article of barter. sale or exchange, An egg also has been ac- cepted as an egg regardless of it's size or lack of size. Nobody could truly say an egg
 is not an egg merely because it iS only three fourths the size of another egg in the same dozen. Or at any rate nobody did say sO except perhaps within the last decade. Yet it costs the producer more to produce Il sizable egg nor the dealer no more to handle it. Indeed. an expert in poultry matters might show it to be even far cheaper and more profitable to produce eggs of large and form size than eggs of small and mixed sizes. Further than that for many decades the one who is able to guarantee the fresh ness of the eggs he sells has easily demanded and received q Higher ur;>s thnn the one whose well-folit"I sHs'Yc.,a os Ais OWL merchandise Di>4uedas .,H -ru ,uch guar antee.

Watching The Parade
By JOHN PILGRIM

The talk turned on the Count de Ploozis, who had just run away with and married Harry Patton's pretty daughter. Harry sis filthy with money. He has to keep turning his two dollar bills over with a pitchfork to keep them from mouldering. No doubt the Count de Ploozis knew of this We have learned a good deal about the count since the runaway marriage, but we have not discovered that he ever worked. Danced, yes. And borrowed.
 Funny thing" said John Haldeman. "Just shows how oddly the wheel turns. You cannot make contracts in this life with out running risks. Who could have thought that this pinch-back count would have hurt me-" eEs
 Six months ago Haldeman had friends from out of town. He took them to a res us have gone to living in the knotholes in rolltop desks we have stopped entertaining at home. Harry Patten and wife and pretty daughter were likewise there. The kid liked to dance, and brought two. or three of her set along. ..s<
 My guests" said Haldeman, included youngster who had recently been abroad. He caught the eye of lean-legged man who was dancing with ,flabby chinned lady and smiled. The dancing man checked his part ner and came over to say howdy. We looked better to him than his fifty-year-old meal ticket, guess. He was Count de Plooxis. we an sa" 4es iH sas Y
 So glad to meet you.' We, acted that way. The girls gave him the perfectly wide. eyed stare. Counts do not often enter their young lives. I asked him to sit down with us. He left his meal ticket alone on the other side of the room while he talked By and by Harry Patten's pretty daughter drifted over. She wanted to talk to Mabel Gilks, she said. Rats! And a pair of heavy feathers She wanted to catch the count: I had seen him giving her the eye. So they got married few days ago"
 We did not get the connection.
 Harry Patten took his business away from me, that's all. Says I introduced this titled dollar hunter to his kid. And because of that I lost enough business to buy me a new car on every holiday
 -Haldeman is a philosopher. Such things do happen in life, and it isn't likely that he can change the games rules. But he points out that we can never tell when we make contact where that is going to finish with us. s&; 7

Wrongs and Wrongs
By BRUNO LEsSING

Mir. Norman Dulce has a grievance. He sets it forth in this wise:
 On bitter, cold day he beheld poorly clad children carrying home parts of packing boxes and other pieces of wood which they had found, for fuel. And on the same day he read in the newspapers how detectives, paid by the taxpayers, had succeeded, after many weeks of search, in recovering thou sands of dollars worth of jewelry that had been stolen from some woman who had worn them at a hilarious party. It is easy to understand Mir. Dulee's feelings and to emphasize with them. To see children suffering or unhappy is a sight that hurts every decent soul. And a vulgar display of Jewelry is such a spectacle that thera; is rarely any sympathy for the owner when the jewels suddenly disappear. r.r.
 Yet. no matter how unworthy or coarse or dissipated the owner of jewelry may be, 1t is even more important to the community that public officials move heaven and earth to catch the thief who steals them than it is' to relieve individual suffering.
 A community in which theft goes unpun ished cannot last. When theft is condoned. other crimes follow, and when lawlessness prevails suffering of all kinds increases. It seems harsh to put law above sympathy but 1t Is logical and wise. 'Salus populi asu- prema est lex" is the old Latin motto which means. welfare of the people is the highest law. The welfare of individuals must be subOrdinated to that law.
 Much of the suffering that exists in the world today is due to the violation of laws ny shrewd people who have managed to keen out of jail Other forms of suffering--you have only to think of child labor-is due to the lack of laws. But we know no other way of redressing all these wrongs than by law. And the building up of a perfect sys- fem Of laws and then the scrupulous en- forcenent of every law, is a slow, tedious process. It requires unremtting work and endless patience. The greatest harm that can be done to the whole structure comes from those who, through impatience with that portion of the system which is made quate, are willing to destroy the portion which is working we'll
 If Mir. Dulce lives to see the day when we become civilized he will not see any pooriy-clad children on the streets on q cold day. Nor will he behold women wearing hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of jewels on their person.
