EXPERT FINDS INDIAN
LEGEND OF BIG FLOOD

Washington--The Southern United
States had Its Great Flood and its
Noah long before 1t was the United
States, DIR. John r. swanton Of the
Smithsonian Institute discloses in an
account of the legends and culture Of
the Choctaw Indians.
The Choctaws, the investigator
writes. shared with other Southern
Indians the tradition that mankind
was destroyed by water because Of
wickedness. Their legends relate Of
a forewarned prophet who did Paul
Revere throughout the villages of his
nation, crying out the Indian equiva-
lent Of "thei flood Is coming" None
needed him,
Then came time to cause men
fear, 70: the elements behaved badly
and the wild animals stalked around
With their tails between their legs.

The Lindbergh Mystery.

The pitiful mystery of the Lindbergh
babys kidnapping is deepened by the
disclosure that ransom money In the
sum of $4,000 was actually PAID 10
those who were identified as the steal
ers of the child, without result. A def-
mite announcement to this effect In be-
half of Col. Lindbergh mas caused
shock to the American people only
slightly less than that which markeo
the taking of the infant Two theories
are at once suggested. One is that the
child is dead and, therefore, cannot be
returned, the thieves nevertheless TAX
ing the ransom money. The other Is
that the kidnapers are bent upon OBJ
tanning larger sum. Either hypothe-
sis presents a spectacle of unspeakable
villainy.
The old adage that there is honor
among thieves" is no longer acceptable.
Heretofore the business OF kidnapping
as it has virtually become-has been
conducted upon the basis of fidelity to
promises. A person is taken by force
and is held for ransom, the sum being
named, and when that sum is paid the
stolen person is returned, m full health,
unharmed. If there were no confidence
in the restoration Of the hostage there
could be no dealings with the thieves.
Therefore, it has behooved these wretch
es who have made q commodity OF
human life to preserve scrupulously the
property" which they have held for
ransom.
So far as is known there has never
before been a case where kidnapers
have failed to deliver when the ran
som money has been paid. The sorrow-
full thought comes at once that the
thieves in this instance were unable to
fulfill their part Of the bargain, but
carried through the negotiations never
theless. Which magnifles their crime,
making them murderers as well as
thieves. and doubly thieves for their
reputation of their bargain when the
impossibilty of delivery developed. To
say that there is no adequate punish
nent for such a crime Is to employ a
futile form of expression
The hope, a slender one, to be sure,
remains that there has been some mis-
carriage In the transaction. perhaps due
to the thoroughness of the concealment
of the child, who may yet be restored
to its parents Renewal Of negotiations
may effect a satisfactory settlement.
The publication of the numbers of the
bills delivered to the kidnapers' agent,
however, may have brought about a
situation that precludes further deal
ings. Yet until there is positive evi-
dence that the child is no longer living
hope will persist that eventually the
hideous bargain will be consummated.
This strange sequel to the crime Of
March intensifies the public feeling
that the crime OF kidnapping must be
written into the statutes of all States
and of the Nation as Of the first mag
nitude, punishable BY the extreme
penalty.

in Washington for advancing the cause
Of the New York Governor. The "junta"
consists of three one-time members of
the Wilson administration and a United

Dan Roper, former commissioner of in
ternal revenue; Bob Woolley, former
Interstate Commerce commissioner, and
Huston Thompson, former chairman of
the Federal Trade Commission. The
senatorial member of the "junta" is
Clarence Dill of Washington. Roper,

Still in the Race.

Alfred E. Smith has become an active
candidate for the Democratic presiden-
tial nomination this year There seems
to be no other possible Interpretation
Of the letters written to his supporters
in California, Connecticut and Penn
sylvania and made public by the former
Governor of New York Friday. Their
publication came Immediately on the
heels of a suggestion by Senator Key
Pittman of Nevada that Mr.. Smiths
friends should not continue to subject
him to such defeats as he has re-
ceivc1 at the hands of Franklin D.
Roosevelt in the New Hampshire and
Wisconsin primaries and in the Demo-
cratic State conventions in Maine,
Minnesota and Iowa. Senator Pittman
was at pains to urge that Mr.. Smith
was not really a candidate for the NOM
ination and was making no campaign
! for the nomination and that he should
not longer be placed in such an embar-
RAISING position.
Mr.. Smith has disdained the good Of
fees of his friend Senator Pittman.
He has informed his supporters that he
is in this fight to finish; that he is a
real candidate for the nomination and
not a stalking horse" either for or
against any other candidate. Mr. Smith
having put his hand to the plow, is
going to the end of the row.

government intends to fulfill its inter-
national obligations. These will, at any
rate, not be ruthlessly ignored and
abandoned, as the Hitlerites unblush-
iDgly proposed. had they contrived to
win the presidential election.
Herr Hitler is deriving such cold
comfort as he can from the fact that
his vote rose from 1888 57l on March
l3 to 13.4l7. 900 yesterday. But 1t falls
heavily short of the 100000 ballots
which Hitler boosted would be cast for
him. The "Nazi' increase Of 1000, ,060
votes did not equal the vote piled up
last month for Lieut.. Col. Duesterberg.

burg gain came from Duesterberg sup
porters and even from Communists, for

munist candidate. dropped to 3,7o5 600
from his March total of 4,9S2,079,
Hindenburg's final strength rose from
49.6 to $50 per cent of the gross vote
From every standpoint the forces of
German law and order have reason to
be deeply satisfied with the history
made throughout the Reich yesterday
For DR.. Bruening, the German chan
cellor. the results are pre-eminently
gratifying. Hitler marked the chan
cellor as the "Nazis' chief foe, rather
than the President. Had Hindenburg
consented to dismiss DR.. Bruening, the
"Nazis" would have permitted Hinden-
burg to embark upon a second term
unopposed The deal was rejected. The
wisdom Of the governments action is
indicated by the elections outcome.
Another supreme test Of strength be-
tween the Hindenburg- -Bruening forces
and the National Socialists impends in
the form of the Prussian Diet elections
on April "a. Hitler signals another
battle for control of the Parliament OF
Germany's largest state. A "Nazi' tri-
umph in Prussia would go far toward
wiping out yesterdays victory in the
Reich. But the blasted hopes with
which the "Nazis" emerge from the Ger
man presidential election betoken that
they have Little better to expect from
the campaign to. capture the Prussian

England's Balanced Budget
Wins American Admiration

tidings of the day." Speaking Of the
revenue bill in this country, the Boston
paper suggests: THE American people
should have it enforced upon their con-
sciousness that it lays no burdens as
heavy as those imposed by revenue
measures in England If comparison Is
made, taxes here will still be light"
n
With a tribute to the stamina and
courage and real patriotism OF he Brit
ish people, the Lexington Leader sug-
gests that they are canny, too, 1rIo
anything that threatens British credit or
that creates hazards for British COM
merce brings out all their innate courage
and tenacity of purpose" Reviewing
the details of the proceedings, the
Leader states: 1.-The tariff act and the
abandonment of the gold standard have
together had most stimulating effect
upon trade and upon property values.
The people have also been turning IN
their old jewelry to replenish the gold
supply and the officials have been
amazed at the total amount so far made
available The transactions have been
profitable to those who have had gold
to sell, but the addition of the gold
stock has been advantageous to the
government at the same time. India
alone is supposed to have accumulated,
by private agencies, at least three billions
in gold"
"The entire population remarks the
Omaha World-Herald, has taken step
downward in the scale Of living and
has done so without any startling social
revolutions or troubles. The victory has
been hard won and it will be harder to
hold. But the British are deter
mined TO hold it. Such an example
must be followed by other nations, in
Guiding ours. There can be no false
hopes of easing the burden. Embarked
upon a career of public spending and
burdened as we'll by the staggering debts
left from the Word War, there is only
one thing to do"
Every man, woman and child"
states the Nashville Banner, has had
greater or less part in the great
drive" That paper also comments:
THE statement that the budget has
been balanced was received with pride
and enthusiasm and those emotions
we're altogether justified, for it repre-
sents one Of the most noteworthy tri-
umphS lately achieved in government
financing and stands as tribute to the
willingness Of the British people to send
partisan politics to the junk heap and
unite in effort in a period of national
emergency. The psychological effects
will certainly be tremendous, especially
since the victory comes at time when
the British are moving out to renewed
efforts with the best spirit and humor
they have displayed for years. 1t all
brings to mind the remark of Napoleon
that the British were queer sort OF
people who rarely ever won a battle
until the last one"
