Too Much Farm Land

Recommendations of Secretary Wfburs speclai
committee on future federal policies toward recla-
nation of lands are important The country has
surplus Of foodstus and the federal farm board has
declared that reduction in acreage is essential TO
the success of its program.
The Wilbur committee believes that states In which
reclamation projects are developed should share IN
the financial and other responsibilities with the federal
government Heretofore the states have had no part
in the program, which has put water on some two
million acres and from which $133OOOOOO worth OF
crops we're harvested in 1927.
The states gain through increased production, in
creased taxable value and through creation OF nom
AGRICULTURAL enterprises The committees idea is that
the state ultimately should assume full responsibility
The recommendation seems reasonable.
The committee, in fact, might have gone further
and discussed the wisdom Of any further reclamation
projects until consumption of soil products has caught
MP with production. It seems foolish to have one
agency Of government urging less production and
another making more lands available for cultiva-
ton.

Thus, numerous deaths have been
reported from electric vibrators and
heaters used in the bathroom when
the person received house current
at the time that hands and feet
were thorough wet.
In time of disease the human
body does not have the ability to
resist the shocks of any kind that
it has in health. Hence that factor
also must be taken into account.
Finally, workers in industry may
have their hands covered with
metallic dust, and this is likely to
play a considerable part in the
part of current that is received.
Edenhofer records four types of
death from electricity: First, sudden
death; second, protracted; third, re-
tarded, and fourth, delayed.
In the first form, death strikes so
suddenly that the individual does
not even make an outcry. In the
second form, he realizes the shock
and may call for help, but death
occurs in 4 few minutes.
In the third form, death is due to
the effects; thus the person appar-
emily RECEIVERS from the shock but

REASONS By FkERBE5cK kERBEs

WE read the other day in the biography of Thad
w Stevens that the great abolitionst wanted to
guard against dsfranchisement of coored people in
the south by constitutional amendment which would
have provided that qualified voters only should be
counted for the purpose of fixing congressional repre-
Sentation, instead of counting everybody.
Such an amendment would not have benefited the
colored brother but it would be blessing to all
states whose inhabitants citizens.
If we had such amendment now the American
sections OF America, which have no aliens would not
lose members of congress to the European sections
which have hundreds of thousands OF aliens
CPEAKING of Stevens and the attacks recently
- made on him by authors, dealing with the recon-
struction period 1t is interesting to note that south
states which proceeding TO reorganize under
easy terms got off the wrong foot by passing laws
which threatened to deprive the Negro of his liberty
And this was before Negro suffrage was proposed.
No one sanctions the horrible orgy of tyranny and
corruption visited u the helpless south by northern
carpetbaggers but the south might have escaped it
had she not given her enemies the ammunition with
which they made the north believe that all the fruits
of victory to be surrendered.
T~HAD STE-ENS was an .ncurable con.-noner, due
i perhaps to the fact that he was born and reared
in desperate poverty his father abandoning his mother
with lot of children.
His zeal for the under dog enabled him to make
the greatest speech heard in Pennsylvania leg
islatre, the speech which saved the public schools
of the keystone state when both houses were over
whelmingly against the proposition.
Possibly Stevens regarded it as legitimate, accord
ing to the laws of war; to conscate the property of
southern leaders remembering that when it invaded
Pennsylvania Lees army, its way to Gettysburg.
destroyed the iron works which Stevens owned at
Chambersburg, reducing him to financial ruin.
To the very end he played the game as one who
abhorred distinctions of race refusing to be buried in
cemetery which drew the color line the reason for
his selection of obscure resting place being carved
on his tomb at Lancaster.

The Police and Politics

The practice of police batting is fayorite sport
nf American critics of civic corruption Outwardly
tere would certainly to be plenty of ground for
30 doing With one arrest to every ten to twenty
crimes the average record in typical American Cities
1t would appear that the police are either seriously
inefficient or fagrantly corrupt
With gang wars unabated in Chicago and the
Rothstein case unsoved in New York, the critic is
furnished with plenty of ammunition for his
paign But the wise student OF civic affairs will go
deeper and raise the fundamental question OF why
this scandalous state of affairs can exist.
Ole dominant reason is certainly the fact that the
roice are part of the system of partisan politics
II party politics to protect the law-breaker and
to discourage honesty and efficiency in detecting crime
and apprehending criminals, the police can not fairly
be saddled with all the blame
If they must paddle in political waters they can
not help being DETECTED by the currents and eddes
therein These facts are set forth with unusual clarity
and authority by James P. Kirby Of The Cleveland
Press in an address Politics, Crime and the Police,
before the Princeton Conference Politics. Some OF
the more trenchant observations Of Kirby follow:
"If policemen are corrupt their corruption hardly
Is greater than that of the atmosphere in which they
work.
"It is not to be wondered that policeman, on a
salary far below that which would be commensurate
with the responsibilities which he has to assume,

the policeman follows
"When politics dominates and demoralzeS the
police department when politics is aligned with the
worst elements In the community with the booegger,
the racketeers and the criminal rings it is not to be
wondered at that policemen found to be derelict

one of the most serious obstacles in the way of an

his assertions by cogent illustrations drawn from
American civic politics today.
Doubtless there many other factors which OBJ

playing of practical jokes on friends

was believed to have originated IN
France.
France. which had celebrated the
new year on March Is, used to END
its merrymaking on April l, when
it was the custom to pay visits and
exchange gifts.
But when the reformed calendar
was adopted in 1854, and the New
Years day was carried back to Jan
/, only pretended gifts and mock
ceremonial visits were made on
April 1, with view Of making fools
of those who had forgotten the
change of date.
1t was not until the beginning OF
the eighteenth century that Eng
land adopted April Fools day. Addi-
son makes the earliest reference to
it in his Spectator" when he tells OF
a neighbor who makes his boasts
that for these ten years consecutive
ly he has not made less than 100
fools"
In Scotland the custom was
known as Hunting the gowk," that
is, the cuckoo, and April fools were

the person befooled is known as

Sense of HUInor

A CTORS scale up little higher,
N but their regulations are in
some measure built on the lines as
signed them in plays. Even the
sophisticated newspaper dramatic
critic can not quite escape the i'm
preston that part of the fun OF an
amusing speech comes out Of the
head of the player.
1t isn't true. A sense of hurnor
does not seem to be entirely essen
tial to the comedian. One Of the
best farce actresses I have ever
known can't even see a good joke.
Or any of my jokes. She is dis
tinctly insensitive to wit and humor
| We don't like to think Of the per-
former who has moved us to mirth
as stepping out Of his role into dull

reputation for comedy can set a
whole company into gales OF
laughter by saying. This IS dam

He was so funny in the show that

remarks.

1T SEEMS TO ME By HEYwooD EYHnH9

Ut doesn't seem to me that plays
4 or novels about painters, actors,
opera singers, sculptorS and muSi-
clans are much good. And neither
are plays about reporters. But here
an exception should be noted in fa-
vor of Gentlemen Of the Press" and
''The Front Page"
The chief difficulty lies in the fact
that the public insists on believing
that the artist calls it art. If you
have a painter as hero, you must
show him in the act of doing a
picture.
And that's not particularly dra-
matte. For even in the case of the
making of an early Broun. During
the scenes in which he is not &C
tually engaged on the creation of a
masterpiece, he will be expected to
sit around and talk about his
dreams and visions.
Now as matter of fact it is very
difficult TO get a painter to talking.
First he must be piled with illegal
beverages, and when he does talk
the chances are ten to one that it
won't amount to much.
Great stuff gets on canvas by
some divine sort of accident. Nat
urally there must be a current Of
thought somewhere or other, but it
is lost river buried down deep be-
low the subsoil of the brain.
Children and insane people often
paint well. It is not an activity
which has anything much to do
with intelligence.

political and administrative training of Hatans for
responsibilities of government had been inadequate
Moreover the commission crticises the American
failure to Haitianze the national guard failure to
reduce taxation and American race prejudice.
Failure of the occupation to understand the social
problems Of Haiti its brusque attempt to plant democ-
racy there by drill and harrow, its determination to
set up middle class however wise and necessary it
may seem to Americans ali these explain why in part
the high hopes of good works in this land have not
been realized"
But the report does not even mention military
terrorism ending in the of natives last De-
cembcr which precptated the present threat OF revo-
luton unless the marines are withdrawn.
The commissions recommendations providing for
an increasingly rapid humanzation of the services,
with the object of having Haitians experienced In
every department of the government ready to take
over full responsibility at the expiration of the exist
ing treaty $780," good so far as they go.
But the failure to fix definite and early date for
Withdrawal of marines and the high commissioner, and
for the end of intervention is neXcusabe. No won
der representative Haitans already are protesting
Americans who cherish the American principles OF
elfgoyernment and determination, also should
protest.
