HEARST VIEWS

LONDON, Sept. 26 u.S3.--The
London Evening Standard today
publishes on its editorial page in
"The Londoner's Diary" by Rub
rique, comment on William Ran
dolph Hearst's recent radio speech
upon his return from Europe.
Under the caption, "Mr. Hearst
on Europe" the commentatcr
writes:
"He regards the dole as the
cause of all our troubles and
finds the proposed cuts of 10
per cent insufficient. 1t should
have been 10 per cent per
annum till the dole is abolished.
"AbOve all, he finds our in
crease of taxation both fatuOuS
and dangerOuS-mOre especially
the cuts in pay Of teachers and
police which he describes as
making malcOntents out of the
people who teach and protect
the nation
80 many English people
have been told that Mr.. Hearst
is anti-English that they have
come to believe it.
Believe me, there is nothing
anti.EngliSh about Mr.. Hearst.

this, even if some of them are

By WILLIAM C. MURPHY, JR.

BY WILLIAM Z. MUhPHH' in.
President Hoover, in his drive
for governmental economy. has
adopted tactics similar to those
employed by his war time chief,
woodrow Wilson, when the latter
appealed to the people over
the heads of Congress on the
League of Nations issue.
That is seen here as the mean
ing of Mr.. Hoover's statement
yesterday commencing the Ameri-
can Legion for withholding a
demand for further bonus pay
ments and citing bills introduced
during the last Congress which
would have committed the Gov
ernment to expenditures totalling
$1,000, 100000 during the next
10 years.
Knows Value of Appeal
The Presidents objective ap-
parentIy, is to drive home to the
American people the tremendous
cost of running the Federal Gov
ernment.
During the war, when he was
food administrator, Mr.. Hoover
learned the value of appeals to
the public. He induced the
American people to forego so
many things then that new
word, "Hooverize," was coined to
express the idea of voluntary alb
stention for patriotic purposes.
Now he wants the nation to
Hooverize" on expenditures
from the Federal treasury.
Seeks to Sell People
The current belief is that Mr..
Hoover realizes that Congress
will be under tremendous pres
sure for Federal relief appropria-
tions during the coming Con-
greSs. In addition to the normal
pressure which would arise from
the depression and widespread
unemployment there is the addi-
tional factor of an election just
around the corner, making legis-

DETROIT, Sept. 26. - Hello,
everybody.
Sermons may be found in

acters philosophers in LAS You
Like It," Today, the homely
philosophy is being paraphraSed.
It might we'll read, "a good
temperance lecture may be found
in the American Leglons vote
for beer"
If this sounds paradoxical, read
over again the statement OF Clar-
ence True Wilson concerning the
legion's determined stand to
have the question of modification
of the Volstead act referred to
the States of our Union.
A Temperate Session
When the vote was taken,
legion leaders stated, in plain
words. they believed the return
Of legalized beer would help solve
the question of unemployment,
help wipe out gangsterism. and
help overcome the Treasury
deficit.
If the Legion had not had the
national deficit in mind through
out it's convention, it is not
likely that it would have given up
it's bonus demands so easily. Al
most everyone regards the legion's
action at Detroit as extremely
temperate.
DR." Clarence True Wilson is
general secretary of the Board
of Temperance, Prohibition, and
Public Morals Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. AS soon as he
heard of the legion's action, he
issued statement from a city
out in Missouri.
DIR" Wilson said that there
was a marked absence at the
convention of the sober, well,
behaved, typical Americans. He
added that he did not wonder
that so many staggering drunks

The slain man had no enemies
who would want to take his life,
in so far as the brother knew.
Questioned By Prosecutor
District Attorney Alexander G..
Blue asked the witness if he was
ever aboard the yacht, the Pen
guin, when his brothers wife was
not there. The witness answered,
"Yes," but said he and his
brother had not seen much OF
each other in recent months.
DR.. Otto H. SchultZe. who per
formed the autopsy. testified that
cause of death was drowning.
District Attorney Blue asked
DR.. Schultze if he found any
marks of external violence on
the body.
"PIease don't bother me
about those bruises" the doctor
exclaimed.
Suddenly he decided he had
testified enough and. slapping the
coroner on the shoulder, he stood
up and shouted:
"Cause of death was drown
ing, bound hand and foot. You
make your own guess, whether
it was accidental, suicidal, or

tricts where special elections early
in November may decide control
of the next House.
Because of deaths there are
seven vacancies in the House
membership, but the, real pOliti-
cal battles will be confined to
the LOngwOrth district in Ohio,
and the Major district in Mis-
souri,.
The five other districts are re-
garded as either safely Republi-

switch is likely. But high-pressure
speakers and bales of campaign
literature are to be sent into the
First Ohio and the Seventh Mis-

Major was Democrat elected to
succeed a Republican.
Speaker Longworth carried his

If the nation can be sold on
the idea that drastic economy

Incidentally, Mr.. Hoover's state

the real obstacle in the Presi-

Congress, left to itself would be
