Several weeks after the Indian
apolis operation, Buck failed to ap-
pear for work at the commission Of
fees on time and officials learned
he was borrowing sums of money
from employees and failing to repay
them.
When Buck learned he was under
surveillance for his money borrow
ing he fled to Ohio, but was appre-
hended and returned as a parole
violator.
In April he was released from the
reformatory after serving the entire
forgery sentence and went to Vim
cennes. State officials said they had
no further word from him until his
recent arrest and operation.
Buck has insisted that he per-
forms his crimes during lapses of
memory and never recalls commits
sion of the acts.
University of Chicago officers have
denied continually that Buck ever
attended the school.

Howard Buck Hopes to Be
Saved From LaWIeSS
Tendencies.

Medical science has striven again
to erase the criminal tendencies
of Howard Buck, 30, of Akron, for
mer University of Chicago football
player.
In a hospital at Massillon, O.,
Buck is recovering from his second
operation in two years to remove
pressure on his brain that caused
him to be nervous, depressed and
to write false checks.
According to physicians at the
Ohio institution the operation, from
surgical standpoint, was sue
cess, assesses on his brain and the
pressure of bone, having been re-
moved.
Time Only Test
Whether the operation will clear
up Bucks penchant for writing bad
checks during lapses of memory,
only time will tell.
The former football player today
said he "felt better" than he had in
the last nine years.
MY nead 1eelS clearer" Buck
said. Il believe my criminal tend
encies have been removed"
Buck recently was arrested in
Ohio for forgery. 1t was then that
he revealed his condition to prose-
cutting authorities and the operation
followed.
Hurt in Grid Game
Buck, who said he suffered a frac-
ture of the skull in Chicago foot
ball game in 1922, underwent his
first brain operation at the Robert
w. Long hospital here in 1929.
The Indianapolis operation was
performed while Buck was on pa
role on a two to fourteen-year for
gerry sentence from the state re-
formatory.
He was working as a craftsman
in the state highway commission
when Bert G. Fuller, Indianapolis
insurance man, and Governor Har-
ry G. Leslie became interested IN
his case.

DRY CRUSADER

MORAL CURSE
Decides Personal Liberty
Argument; Sessions at
CadIe to Close.

eff there ever was any right of
personal liberty to get drunk, it has
been lost in the common right of
protection of life and property of
the whole people,
This challenge was hurled at
vets by Colonel Raymond Robins,
Chicago social economist, in ad-
address Thursday at the Allied
Forces for Prohibition mass meet
ings at Cadle tabernacle.
The advance of democracy, par
ticularly woman's suffrage, now that
women can protect themselves at
the ballot box, is the best guarantee
that the eighteenth amendment
never will be repealed" Robins said.
Called Moral Parasite
He insisted that a careful study
of economics demonstrated that the
liquor traffic is not only a moral
curse, but moral parasite upon
legitimate business"
Miss Norma c. Brown, secretary
Of the Allied Forces, dared drinking
citizens to advance a better way of
handling the booze question than
that offered by present prohibition
laws.
For every drop of illegal liquor
made and sold now, there would be
many gallons were the law tolerant

Charges Of Lieutenant Governor

members Of the general assembly
thursday in the woman's building
approximately half the members
Ot the general assembly, Governor
Harry @. Leslie, and party leaders

NO defense can be made for the

begging for relief. They asked for
bread and the legislature gave them
a stone. They asked for fish and
you gave them a serpent
Less Drinking in 81
The failure Of the legislature to
Keep faith was not due to the fact
that its members were inferior in
intellect and character to the men
Oh the previous sessions. Neither
was 1t due to the fact that they
We're drunk and that they paid
more attention to drinking whisky
IMAM they did to legislation.
There was less drinking in 1891
than there was in the 1917 session
over which I presided and there
were enough sober men in the 1917
general assembly to pass statewide
prohibition. Each succeeding ses-
sion since 1917 has been accom-
panied by the falling off of the in
tluence of liquor in cur lawmaking
cody" Bush said.
The failure of the legislature
was due to the fact that neither
political party - Republican nor
Democrat-had the honesty or the
courage to carry out the promises
made to the people in their plat
forms and on the stump.
Broke Their Pledges
Bush pointed out that tax relief
oeIlnlCely was promised by both
parties, but in no case did the
leaders stand by their loyal men,
bers in both houses.
Taking issue with Bush, Repre-
sentative Earl Crawford of Milton,
Democratic caucus chairman, de-
clared he believed it was a good
thing that no tax legislation had
been enacted
Il have no apologies to make for
the last session." he said. Il am
not so sure that some good has not
come out of our failure to pass tax
laws. If some of those bills had
been passed, we would not have had
the interest now existent in reduc-
ing budgets

Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1931-10-01

At a time when most Americans are looking around
hopefully for a leader who can lead their country through
its perplexing maze of difficulties, it is interesting to find
Governor Wilbur Cross of Connecticut reminding us that
even the discovery of such a leader won't necessarily
solve the problem.
Writing in the autumn number Of the Yale Review,
Governor Cross remarks:
IF we have learned anything from the war ex-
perience, it should be that leadership is not enough.
A citizen of a democracy such as ours cannot with a clear
conscience delegate his authority to the expert in times
Of prosperity and hide behind him in times of trouble.
The present period of adversely will have its uses if it re-
calls people in all walks of life to the elementary rights
and duties of citizenship"
That paragraph goes straight to the roots of a good
many of the troubles of the present moment.
For a number OF years We have been content to put
ourselves in the hands of others. We have fondly trusted
that these others were wiser than we, but We haven't
worried about it greatly.
The nation at large used to take its politics serious
ly. 1t used to get excited about the trends in business
and economics. 1t was Jealous of its rights. The coun-
try store, where farmers gathered around the cracker
box to settle the affairs of the nation, wasn't quite as
funny an institution as we like to pretend.
Recently we suffered a change. We let politicians
run governmental affairs about as they pleased, asking
only that they didn't worry us over them. We were too
busy to bother about development in finance and indus
try, leaving all such things to the square-Jawed men in
the front office. We gave up a measure OF our old in
dependence, and asked only to be led in something ap-
proximating the right direction.
Now we are getting precisely what we asked for
Corruption in city affairs, inefficiency in state capitals, a
mounting federal deficit, industrial stagnation, unem-
ployment-we refused to worry about any of them until
times got hard.
Good leadership, of course, is needed. But it isn't
enough by itself.
Governor Cross is dead right in pointing out that the
rank and file in a democracy have got to think for them
selves.

Japan In Manchuria

Renewal of the conflict between Japan and China
in Manchuria raises once more the Interesting little ques-
ton, rs Japan of the orient or of the occident?"
Racially, geographically and socially, of course,
Japan is an oriental nation. Her culture stems from the
Chinese; her history as a world power" dates back only
a few decades, her main interests center on the far side
of the Pacific.
Yet, to Chinese eyes. Japan is simply another west
eTn nation bent on exploitation of a defenseless oriental
lamb, Japan has learned all of the western tricks. In
stead of helping China defend the orient from exploiters,
she has turned exploiter herself.
Diplomats have wondered uneasily, now and then,
what would happen if Japan should change her policy
and become the leader of the orient. Apparently that
contingency is still rather remote.
