Romance" in Crime.
(New York World Telegram

(NeW 4OrK WOrld-IelegTam)
 A. B. Mcdonald Pulitzer Prize reporter in a dispatch to the Times tells of an interview he had with Emmett Dalton last of the Dalton Boys, ,, in Coffeyville, Kan, scene of the famous raid in which Bob and Grat killed Standing over his brothers graves, the old outlaw said:
 "The biggest fool on earth is the who thinks that he can beat the law, that crime can be made to pay. It never paid and never will and that is the one big lesson of the Coffeyvlle raid'
 The newspaper quotes United States At torney Ameli, of Brooklyn, saying:
 Tt has been estimated that between $200 900 and $6oOOOO0oO yearly has been levied by racketeers in tribute from almost every business in our cities
 These two eminent authorities can't both be right
 It is familiar thing for reformed criminals to say very much what Emmett Dalton said over his brothers graves. Perhaps they over-compensaG- ing for consciousness of wayward past and tenuatng in their minds the fact that they got caught Or perhaps they are fervently hoping that the warning spoken by scared with memories will keep others from following in their path
 MT. Ameh also induges in degree of romance when he undertakes to estimate the amount of loot It is easy to believe that the loot is large. Yet has any means of knowing remotely how large it is.
 "Buebeard" or Al Capone, the criminal and his crime as big as public fancy can make them The more the melodrama, the the public will a little short, public imagination comes to their rescue.
 Romance is gangdom's royal road to freedom and opulence
 The public adores to be taken for ride" while sitting safely in armchairs
 Maybe should have the President appoint "Wckersham Committee -.gainst Romance in Crime"

English and "Talkiese."
(New York Times)


 English as it is talked" in the new films has come in for broadsides of condemnation from Eng fish critics. But MT. Reginald Berkeley, writing in The Saturday Review expressed sincere affection for good American" He really likes the tooth some slang of the Middle West" and the American style
 But when all of the characters are "boobs" or babies" and james" "frais," when everybody is dumb Tit" this brand of talkese he finds, in the language of the studio to be absolutely lousy. It is bad enough when it comes direct from Ameri- ca. But it is far when it is rank imita- tion by English manufacture. Because of American ascendency in the moving picture field English pro- ducers have looked to American films for standards But to seize upon their worst qualities and ape their racketeer slang is serious mistake.
 What MT. Berkeley calls the film buffers come in for share of blame in mutilating the English language. When every star is "the worlds lstupendous Love-Queen' and every other picture lis fierce joy-thriI love drama" glossaries are needed to make the real meaning clear For in- stance, thrilling means anything you like; heart Isearing,' rather weakly sentimental.
 There is danger that the effect English youngsters exposed to such talk will be as disas- trous the fate of the chameleon who, having turned green on green, and red red was sud- ldenly planted down strip of tartan" Ameri- can producers are already beginning to drop the underworld lingo, and the racketeer film may soon Ibe dead the melodramas that flourished Oil Broadway season or two ago.

SCOUTS LEAVE FOR THEIR CAMP
 ON EAGLE RIVER
Visitors Intending to Par take of Thu Dinner
 Should Give Notice

Favored by glorious sunshine, IT Boy Scouts left Juneau at o'clock this morning for their annual out ing at their Eagle River camp They were taken in automobiles to the end of the road by Miss Vene- tia Pugh, H. L. Faulkner, Brice Howard, Cash Cole and Elliott Robertson. The youths who went to the camp were:
 William Ford, John Schaefer Ralph Bardi, Henry Mead, Clifford Shearer, Michael Daniloff, Frank Behrends, Fred Harris, Harry Stur- rock, Brice Howard, Jr., Joseph Smith, Walter Scott, William Vim, Duncan Robertson, Walter Ford, Thomas Cole and James Cole.
 Everything has been put in readi- ness at the camp by Curtis Shat tuck, Charles Talmadge, Art Ficken, Allan Elliott, Robert Simpson and Spiro Paul, who went there last Saturday to complete arrange ments.
 Next Sunday will be Visitors Day, when the Thu Dinner will be served free of charge to all callers. Persons intending to partake of the dinner should notify H. w.

LET IT ALONE.

Many organizations wasting time and en- ergy in the battle over birth control. They are meddling in private family affairs and getting nowhere Birth control is a matter that had better be left with those directly concerned. They will settle it anyhow without outside interference
 Birth control discussions manifestations of a prevailing desire of many people to con- trol other peoples affairs. People assume to have ideas and they want to force everybody else to conform to them We have too much of that sort of thing It is time to recede rather than to expand the custom. We ought to begin by ditching Prohibition and letting people do as they please about birth control.

MIR. RUSTGARD IS RIGHT.

Attorney General Rustgard regards rule re-
 gently adopted by the Alaska Railroad to give employment to no laborers of fifty years of age or older and to discharge all who are sixty or over as both rediculous and outrageous. MT. Rustgard is right. Men of fifty or more, if they are in good health and sound of body are worth as much or laborers as young men. There are lot of people in the Interior who have spent their younger years prospecting working in the mines for brief season for grub stakes who need work that is only available on roads rail and otherwise They ought not to be discrimnated against if they do the work.

COL. HOUSE SPEAKS.

Col House has made his bow in the political discussion that has been going on since the an- nouncement of the results of the 1928 election. He has picked Gov. Roosevelt for the Democratic Presidential nomination in 1882.
 This indicates two things Col House believes the Democrats are in line for success in the next election and he believes Gov Roosevelt win the nomination and election if properly coached.
 Col House has little interest for politics un- less he thinks he can victory ahead. He has been in an eclipse since the war. He has always been very carefully wise in selecting candidates

HIGH TARIFFS AND SPECULATION
 RESPONSIBLE.

The arch -Protectionist Boston News Bureal ne time stout champion of high tariffs almo' yithout limit. is now content to insist that hig ariff is not the only cause of depression-that lust share responsibility with over speculation S ieorge Paish brilliant English economist, had de Jared that artificial Instructions to trade was re oonsible for the hard times in the world. Partl greeing the Boston News Bureau, in a recent edi orial, said:
 With Sir George Paish's central thesis as expressed in an interview in this paper there will be serious quarrel in most quarters Doubtless there has been too much artificial obstruction to world trade expansion, due in turn to excess of Nation alism" The barbed wire was stripped from the trenches long ago; but much economic barb wire nas since been reared-and not all of it in Europe Chiefly its name is new or higher tariffs.
 But the question will at once suggest itself to an American mind Is not the an- alysis quite too simple and exclusive? Is the case not much more complex? If all the hu- man race-particuarly we Americans-be- came at once as cosmopolitan spirited as Sir George would like would that of itself cure world depression quickly and complete y? No doubt cooperation and collabora- ton" would help, perhaps a great deal; but would it immediately suffice and was it's re- cent lack the whole fault?
 Two things may be cited as belonging also in the great picture dgnoring other de- tails that might be added. Both were pri mary causes; and it is with their conse- quences the world is wrestling today. One was Europe's direct fault; the blame for the other is mainly ours.
 The first was World War. After great wars-Civil, Napoleonic. Thirty-Year, etc., there is always a great economic repercus- sion. It was bound to be tremendous after the 1914-1918 sort of struggle.
 Yet then, between late 1924 and late 1929, we Americans proceeded to forget or ignore it's vast costs and burdens in a sat- urnalia of specuation-in which many Old World individuals joined For it we are here paying the price and doing the pen ance now As also everybody elsewhere is still paying the toll of World War-one legacy of which hugely expanded ca pacity to produce commodities we were once told would Twin" that war.
 Here just two items The average American, while admirng the sweep of Sir Georges thought, will wonder if they also shouldn't enter his analysis which now seems so closely centered a single theme?

SPRING CUTS CALLS
ON SALVATION ARMY
Report for January and February
Shows Heavy Increase in
Demands Over 1880.

Spring and the call of the open road
is already resulting in fewer applica-
tons to the Salvation Army for food
and lodging, according to Gilbert
Decker, relief officer for the Army.
Many of the professional panhandlers,
or birds Of passage" have already
taken to the road, according to Decker,
and the advent of warmer weather is
expected to still further deplete their
ranks here. Decker also pointed out
that some men, unwilling to accept
help II they can avoid it, are sleeping
in the open.
However, he said, the demand for re-
lief is still great and reached an extent
in January and February that kept the
whole Army staff too busy to make out
q report prior to this time.
In December, 1929, and January and
February, 1880, the Army supplied tran
sient homeless white men with 1887
meals, 1,079 nights lodgings, $50 gar
ments and ais pairs Of shoes. One year
later the record for these three months
was 20,267 meals. 5,188 nights 1odg-
ings, 932 garments and 374 pairs of
shoes, or an increase for the 1930-3l
three months over those Of 1929-30 of
1870 meals. more than five times the
number served the previous year; 400
more nights lodgings than the previous
year; garments. 70 per cent increase,
and pairs of shoes. a 10 per cent in
crease.
