NEED is SHOWN
FOR LEADERSHIP
IN LEGISLATURE
Both Parties Worried Over
HaphaZard Tactics in
Special Session.
BY BEN STERN

Aghast at the haphazard and
shotgun tactics pursued by members
OF both houses Of the general as
Sembly in their attempts to obtain
governmental economy and reduce
the tax burden, party leaders are
devoting the weekend to Analysing
the situation, with a view to CO.
ordinating efforts.
Following scrutiny of the eighty
two bills introduced in house and
senate the first two days, r. Earl
Peters, Democratic state chairman.
announced that a conference of the
party legislative steering commit
tee would be held Monday after
noon, to be followed by a caucus of
the house majority Tuesday night.
Although Ivan c. Morgan, Repub-
lican state chairman, had been in
tending to keep hands off his party
representatives, it was learned today
that he probably will discuss the
situation in detail with the G. O.
P. senate members Tuesday night
and house members Wednesday
night. Both groups will be Nor
gan's dinner guests.
Leadership Is Needed
Strategists of both parties real
lied need for aggressive leadership
when survey of the membership
roll showed that seventy nine of the
$50 senators and representatives
either were defeated for renomina-
ton or were not candidates in the
May primary.
Too much is at stake to permit
lame ducks" to injure chances of
the state tickets in the fall election.
With this in mind the managers are
determined that beginning next
week, an active and aggressive lead
erShip must be instituted.
1t is peculiar that the minority
groups of both parties are expected
to make the best records. Republic
ans declare their small house group
will need little guidance, because
the members are veteran legislators.
Majorities Main Worry
The Democratic managers feel the
same about their minority in the
senate, which is being generated
by Walter S. Chambers, Newcastle
publisher, and former state chair
man.
The majorities are worrying the
leaders and candidates for election
in the fall.
Speaker Walter Myers of the
house, and DELPHI McKesson of Ply
mouth, the Democratic floor leader,
are endeavoring to exert real lead
ership, according to Peters. Because
of the large and unwieldly size of
the party majority, they find it al
most impossible to whip their fellow
partiSans into line.

radio crooners crowd the line OF
demarkation between decency and
indecency, in new outcropping Of
songs, which for sheer puerile.
inane, asinine drivel and musical
worthlessness take the prize! And
our talkies! Not the fault of the
theatre managers. Mr.. Earle Eve
land, for example, is a man of un-
impeachable morals and ethics, and
unQuestionable high standing. But
on the screen the gangster is glori-
fed, and well-nigh every vice and
brought to the youngsters through
the medium Of the senses.
Criminals are depicted as martyrs
who have made in the beginning a
slight wrong step and are per-
secuted cruelty by the barbarous
minions of the law. Criminals
men with hearts of gold! Gods
noblemen! Murderers, cutthroats,
hoodlums, petty rascals, too low
down in the scale of things to be
of determination, are placed in the
light Of public heroes; thugs, not to
be despised as human rats, but to
be admired as men of substance;
evaders of the law, 'too smart for
the constituted authorities"
Bootleggers, panderers, degen-
crates and perverts appear in the
news along with men who have a
right to be alive. And these are the
crawling, Shiny life forms that our
youngsters are taught, by well pub
licised example, to initiate.
''Vice is monster of such fright
full mien, that to be hated, needs
but to be seen; but seen too oft, ia
miliar with her face, we first en-
dure, then pity, then embrace
/ quote that from memory, SO [
trust / may be pardoned for any err
rors. But the sense is there and it
is as true today as when Alexander
Pope wrote it.
Remember the old McGuffey read
ers? They're passe now. We're
inclined to laugh, even sneer at
their old fashioned lessons, their
prim and earnest homilies, their
plain-to-be-seen morals But few
McGuffey's scattered through the
school rooms would have a far more
lasting effect for good than all the
vitiated trash of the majority of
the modern novels, and the filthy,
pornographic sewerage of some Of
the modern magazines that find
their way into the hands of young
readers.
Virtue is its own reward! That
is the lesson to be brought out. I'm
not writing as a Christian-I'm not
a Christian. My own ideas of be-
lief or unbelief are too nebulous to
be put into words. But l do know
common sense will show anyone
that decent mode Of living is sure
to result in more happiness, moro
