PROF. ROGERS BREAKS OUT

IS the gentleman who advised mem bers of college graduating class to be snobs,' marry the boss daughter and not fool around court ing q manicurlst or waitress, who, presumably, has few shekels. This time the professor issues his list of spiritual and intellectual leaders. to match against the one recently given out. composed of business leaders, by former Ambassador Gerard, After reading the professors list one realizes that the educator still has a fine eye for publicity; still loves to spool the public,
 For example, the learned Boston man says that Dr. Cadman. with his radio church addresses. has "deliv- cred yet another blow at the church" He says the doctors teach ings are built on a "163h chassis, with q modern paint job" Who but Prof. Rogers could think of such an apt simile? He loves to say the un- usual, realizing that it takes some thing unusual to make the average American pay any attention. Edgar Guest. Rev. Dr. Harry Emerson Eos dick. Bruce Barton and others. feel the slightly caustic barbs of the pro- fessor's darts, while other notables he mentions are praised without ex- planatory comment,
 The M. I. T. teacher is a refresh ing sort of chap. On dull summer days. when news is none too brisk, he provides a morsel or two that depart from the usual. It matters lit- tie whether everyone agrees with the professor or not It hardly even mat ters, also. whether all that he says is entirely sensible and logical, He has an eye for the unusual and a fine sense of the dramatic-and he uses both. The result is an occasional effusion that will be read.

THE PROBATE JUDGESHIP

George P. Spear long associated with probate judgeship conventions, saw fit last evening to issue state ment in behalf of B. w. filling, at present Attorney , General, for the Republican nomination to succeed Judge B, F. Gaffney. Mir. Spear will run in the primaries as an filling supporter, together with J. J. Des- mond. Steve Robb and Mrs, Ruth Walthers. The probate judgeship is the only post in which there is a disagreement in Republican ranks, as a slate will be presented at the primaries pledged to Attorney Woods.
 Mir, Spear, naturally, praises MT. filings attainments and fitness for the Job very highly However the delegate seems to have a happy IdLultE p1 plChillS Ii Sood ll4oll LoA the post as he has proven many times in the past. He IS a republican and in the past has consistently vot- ed for the endorsement of demo- crat for probate judge, the present incumbent being invariably his choice for nearly 25 years. This, in itself, IS indicative of MT Spear $ independence and genuine desire to choose a s far as IS humanly possible q good man for an important posi- ton.
 We hold no brief for any of the three candidates, Woods, Alhng, or Mangan, two of whom will be Tn op- position Ut the polls. We merely comment On the statement of Spear and his past record as probate con- vention delegate. Undoubtedly there are many ln the town who have made no choice, many republicans who are not interested ln the prl- maries and will not take the trouble to get out and vote, Some of these will resent the nomination after it is made, whichever way it goes. and possibly take the trouble to prove their resentment at the polls by vot- ing for a democrat The warning Is not too late. Primary time is here almost and despite the lack of con- test in other divisions a good vote should be registered.
 The office of Probate Judge comes into closer contact with all of us at one time or another than any other elective office in the city state or country. In our times of trouble and sorrow, the office holder IS in posi-

 WHEAT CROP PLEA
i Urges New York Farmers to Cut
 Down Acreage

Syracuse, N. Y, Sept. 3 .(UP) - Chairman Alexander Legge of the federal farm board today carried his plea for reduced crop acreage in New York state in an address before the meeting of the state Grange here. Legge cited overproduction in clogged markets which were costly to the farmer, but he placed particu- lar emphasis on wheat, saying Amer ican farmers should get out of the wheat export business. The chairman said he thought federal subsidy of wheat exportation would evoke ap- plication of stringent anti-dumping laws in foreign countries where the subsidized wheat would be offered for sale.
 We have plenty of evidence" Legge said, that any attempt to dump surpluses of any of our crops on foreign markets will be met with prompt resistance. All the larger wheat importing countries have farm problems of their own and are pre- pared to protect their farmers just as the United States Isotects the markets of it's farmers
 Warning Unheeded
 Legge told of sheep men who ap- pealed to the farm board for help this year after they had ignored warnings from the agriculture de- partment in 1927 and 1928 that they were increasing the focks too much. He said the market would absorb about 400, 100000 bushels of potatoes a year at a fair price.
 The smallest crop in the past six years,' Lcgge continued. returned to the grower s53O,OO0,000 for 321.- 0o0,00O bushels of potatoes. The largest crop in that time was 463,- 000,000 bushels and it was worth only s2sS,000,ooO to the growers. In other words, a crop of 100000 bushels more brought the grower s242, 100000 less.'
 High prices of articles purchased by the farmer, Legge said were largely to increased wages for labor.

HAWKSHANING SEN. ME

l All of the elements of three ring circus are being provided in the Illinois senatorial investigation by | Ringmaster Nye and Chief Tight | Wire Walker Ruth Hanna McCor- mick. The other day Mrs McCor- mick, whose victory in the Repub- lican primaries is under lnvestiga- ton, frankly admitted that she hired private detectives to shadow Chairman Nye of the Senate cam- paign funds investigating committee. She naively inquired What is the senator going to do about it ?''
 Sen Nye, not to be outdone by a mere woman, gave the quickest pos sible retort by summoning all of the detectives from the bureau that Mrs Mccormick retained, for questioning before the committee. This is my reply to Mrs. McCormick's question, he said to the reporters.
 Undoubtedly there are phases of the Illinois senate primary race that will bear much investigating. There is a grave suspicion that more money vas spent to win the nomination than was reported. although it may not have been spent by Mrs. Me Cormick or her campaign organiza- ton. The gum shoe angle, how ever, tends to throw the whole af- fair into further disrepute, rather than help it. Mrs. Mccormick claim that investigators of the cam paign funds committee broke into her private offices and ransacked her filing cabinet. that spies were stationed in her home to elicit fur ther information, will bear lnvesti- eating-although it is quite unlikely that they ever will be.
 Out of all the turmoil there may result one lesson. at least, for both sides. Any senate committee that re- suits to questionable tactics to get the goods on the person under in- vestigation, is setting a very poor example. It isn't certain that any thing of the sort was done, but there are grave suspicious that it might have been. On the other hand Mrs. Mccormick act of employing the detective agency is hardly to be com- mended. It sounds too much like the Doheny-Sinclair jury watching to suit the average American. The les son, of course, is that public opinion may repudiate such tactics on both sides of the argument-but that is a far fetched hope. Everyone realizes that MT. Average Citizen will yawn, say "Oh yeah?" and go out to movie after he has read of the acts.
