STATES ACTION
On RUM FLAYED

Twenty-Five legal objections to
the proposal that State conven-
tions act on the question of re-
peal of the Eighteenth amend
ment are raised in an opinion
made public here by Edward S.
Dunford, counsel of the Anti-Sa-
loon League.
According to Dunford, who pre-
pared the opinion for the Meth
odist Board of Temperance and
Public Morals, the Constitution
provides no machinery for such
State conventions.
He asks who is to call them
Congress, State legislature or the
people. and whether they are to
be elected at large or by districts.
If called by the State legiSla-
ture, Dunford suggests, many
States would not desire to pay
the expenses of such conventions.
He asks whether a governor could
veto a legislative call for a con-
vention. Pointing out that the
Federal corrupt practices act
4 would not apply to the conven-
tions, the dry league counsel sug-
gestS that enormous sums would
be used to influence their action.
Concluding he declared:
"The whole proposal, as is
the case with almost all other
proposals connected with the
anti-pr -libitiOh NOV ve m ent,
gives evidence of an aStOnish-
ing immaturity of thinking. The
American people will do well to
stop, look and 'isten.'"

Just Every Day Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

DO not pretend to be wise enough to pass upon the
i question of capital punishment. There are those
who contend that the murderer should pay with his
life for the life he has taken They are am sure,
sincere in this conviction.
And it may be- too that those who think this is
not intelligent manner in which to deal with the
crime question are mere idealiSts Even so, with
them in their folly
I DO not believe in the ancient law which says
IAN eye for an eye"
Then again. it seems as if the proponents of capital
punishment if they working merely for the good
of society," they say, could be little less cruel in
their methods
1t may be very we'll to condemn the murderer to
death. He is menace to his fellows it is said lets
get rid of him." So far so good.
But how do they go about Kidding the republic
of harmful and unwanted citizen? Do they put him
to death as mercifully they would mad dog, for
instance? Are they willing to shoot or chloroform
him Unexpectedly? Not so. They set the day for his
killing. They tell him how and when he is to die
TNHEN they lock him in lonely cell and leave him
to face alone the hour, the moment Of his execu-
tion They subject him to far more mental torture
than satan visits upon his favorite damned.
They invariably take from him all means Of sui
eide They watch carefully lest some plying friend
bring him potent poison. He hears the hum of the
electric current that awaits him. or the hammer blows
that make his gallows. He has no time for remorse
he is eaten by fear
Out of this stark misery and terror make
for ourselves sort of legal Roman holiday.
Can there still be in this country humane being
who honestly believes that this of thing belongs
in a civilization? a.

T THINK that any information
i about Miss Lupe Velez and my
self will come most gracefully from
this quarter. And telling all is
really the part of discretion and
good taste, since others might dis
tort the situation.
The first time I saw Lupe Velez
she did not notice me at all. That
also was true of the second time,
which was the occasion of our for
NAL introduction.
The first time was more roman
tic. The speakeasy was almost de-
serted and Miss Velez was in the
corner having shrimps. She also
was accompanied by dark-haired
man in a blue suit.
At first I was not sure of her
identity, but I overheard several
references to Hollywood and the peo-
pie of Hollywood. Miss Velez seems
to have fluent command of Eng
lish.

that proved ineffective, I tried a
little leering. It was the first leer-
ing I had done in more than three
months, and I couldn't seem to get
my back and shoulders into it.
Lupe went on sedately with her
shrimps. They were served with
some sort of mustard sauce, which
made it more difficult all around.

The Coal Situation

The people of Indiana have very direct interest
in the failure of mine operators and mine unions to
agree on working basis.
The facts are sinister and suspicious They Sug-
Qest at least unwise leadership on the part of the
union. They suggest that regard has been given
to the real interests of the worker and less to the
public interest involved
The failure in Indiana is by necessity, followed
by similar failure to agree in the Illinois field and
this results today in $4,000 idle men.
The coal industry is basic in this country. 1t is
also in desperate situation. It's problem is compi-
Gated by competition between the fields of West vr-
ginia and Kentucky and the Illinois and Indiana
output for the Chicago market.
The situation demanded facing of facts that
would permit the Indiana and Illinois fields to
operate The scale of wages, in years of infation
had become impossible. There a need of read
iustment, if the operators to remain in business
and the men at work.
Back of the situation is the struggle of years for
control of the union, in which the international Off
GERS have clashed with the Illinois unions. Control
of the union rather than the interests of the miners
seems to have been the dominating and controlling
factor In negotiations which have now resulted in
widespread idleneSs
This state has a very direct interest. If the In
diana fields idle, much wealth will be lost More
than that there will be need for more charity funds
There will be misery and want and hunger.
Public opinion, led by officials Of this state should
force recognition of facts and settlement of the
controversy that will keep at work and not
place their families in bread lines
The public representing real desire to prevent
suffering by human beings and loss to all involved
should demand to see not only the machinery that
has led 10 ideness but exactly what forces we're be-
hind and directing the decisions that led to this UNI
fortunate outcome.

Blind Leaders

COME of our political leaders are
~ going to be surprised at the
speed and effectiveness of anti
prohibition sentiment. That is be-
cause they have failed to keep track
of it.
Many of them will think of it as
largely noise, in spite Of all the polls
and expressions. If they only would
circulate among their neighbors and
acquaintance and take note of the
opinions that have actually changed
during the last few years, and
especially since the stock market
crash. they would soon learn what is
going on.
We are witnessing one of the most
remarkable alterations in public
opinion that ever occurred in this
country. Nor should any one be de-
ceived by the seeming rapidity with
which it is taking place.
1t has been forming for a decade,
and has gathered strength from the
verv forces that have attempted to
stif1e it. 1t is like a damned river
ready to burst. The things being
done at Washington right now are
adding to its power.

Jobs Found for Handicapped Workers

in the United States employed at
one time 5000 handicapped people.
These people were not employed
on the basis that their employment
was a charity. They we're en-
ployed because they could do their
jobs satisfactorily, and could earn
the money that was paid to them.
Only proper placement in the po-
sition enabled them to hold the jobs
against the natural competition
that came from other persons
equipped with all their physical
forces.
1t is a mistake to attempt to find
for handicapped persons new or
strange occupations. More than 30
per cent of them can be placed ip
jobs in ordinary industries for
which their handicap does not dis
qualify them.
Sometimes a little extra training
may be necessary, but that can be
had in special schools or even in
apprenticeship to the occupations
which they ultimately plan to fill.

man with two arms can do success
fully.
For example, the motor car is a
highly complicated machine. A
blind man can not run one because
he can not see. A deaf man may
drive, but may have great trouble
in crowded traffic or when travelling
at high speed.
A man with one leg off may be
able to drive motor car satisfac-
torily, but a man with an arm off
might have considerable difficulty.
Social service today has developed
as specialists persons capable of
placing workers in positions for
which they are fitted.
Much more is to De gained by
placing the person Immediately in
such a job than in trying him in
a half dozen jobs with the idea that
he may be trained to do one of
them satisfactorily.

Views Of Times Readers

Editor Times-Let every one who
desires this terrible depression lift
ed lend a helping hand. This
world depression did not happen
without cause. It was caused by
the people, and it is up to the peo-
pie when it is lifted.
We have got to go after this de-
preston just like the doctor would
go after a serious ailment. He not
only goes after the ache, but he
goes after the cause of the ache.
The cause of this depression is
that man is out of adjustment with
his Creator. The world is full of
everything but love. Lust, fear,
jealousy, hatred, malice and selfish
neS5 are our masters. Man was Gre
ated to glorify God; we glorify Our
Maker by doing Hiss will, and the
will Of the Father is that we love
each other, and not the things of
this world.
He made the earth and He wants
us to enjoy it; and to so live here
that we shall be fit subjects for His
haven Of rest. AS the train is made
to run on track, God has a track
and a program mapped out for
man.
tn only way we can make prog
reSs is to stay on the track and
follow the program, that none err
or perish. He sent His only begot-
ten Son, and He dwelt amongst
us for thirty-three years. He lived
model life before the world. Let
Him reign in your hearts and in
your homes, and business.
Gods program is that we serve
Him with all our hearts, be truth
full and multiply. Earn our living
by the sweat Of our brow, be obedi-
ent, love our neighbor as our self,
keep the Sabbath day holy. The
acid test is love your enemy.
Let US cease trying to go around
God, and follow Him. following the
precepts and theories of man. The
human family is confused and We
are divided religiously and other
wise, and the soul that ChRst died
