rank and file were suppressed, the
union members remained completely
at the mercy of the employers.
Shapiro, like zausner, are respon-
sible for the steadily worsening of
the conditions which left the painters
in a weakened condition, unable to
meet the blows of the employers.
Shapiro and zausner and these cor
rupt chques cannot now escape their
responsibility or hide behind left
phrases. Their left phrases are only
intended to help the employers carry
through new attacks.
Don't Be Fooled!
Shapiro is now carrying on propa-
ganda that the left wing supports
him. This is an absolute lie. He is
able to pass off such lies not only
because lies are his stock in trade,
but also because of some serious mis-
takes made by left wing members of
Local No. 261 in failing to put up a
fight against him. The mistakes of
these left wingers was an outright
opportunistic mistake which was made
on the basis of the idea of the lesser

An Old CATER Returns

An interesting sidelight on the current economic
situation is the temperance in business OF the an
cient system of barter.
Take for instance, advertisement appearing in
a Georgia newspaper, from which learn that
Macks Mercantile Company of Thomson, Ga, is will
ing to swap "48 pounds best flour for 12-b. cour
try ham,
There are other attractive offerings with not
price in terms of money quoted Such as: 40
pounds best rice for h. Irish poatoes2 pounds pure
coffee for one Alb hen-one pair mems sox for eggs
--one 25-cent jar of snuff for two dozen eggs"
There may be only some whitened bones and a few
feathers left to remind us that there once had been
"two chickens every pot" but, in all fairness, it
must be conceded that here is evidence aplenty of
rugged individualism."
There is seriously, measure of qualification to be
extracted from such examples of individual resource

The dry side has had practically no popular
advocacy since Mr.. Hoovers administration began.
Nevertheless, with respect to the coming campaign
the Christian Century holds that the issue is clearly
drawn as in 1928 and that Mr. Hoover is as staunch
ouwark OF the dry cause he was four years ago:
The liquor issue is as clear cut and crucial as
1t was in 1923. Those drys who got off on the wrong
foot in their first reaction to the Republican plank
must sit down soberly and read the two platforms

than was his success in the campaign of 1928 The
issue has been changed in FORM but it's sharp edges
have not been dulIed.
Inc Democratic platform is complete BETRAYAL
OF the dry cause. The Republican platform is the
most favorable formulation that any party controlled
by hope OF success reasonably could have laid down
But platform is one thing and a candidate quite
another. Is Mr. Hoover personally as dry as his
partys plank and likely to stand sincerely by the drv
cause? The Christian Century thinks that he is and
that he may be trusted to resist the wes of the vets
in his party.
1t bases this contention primarily on Mr. Hoover's
personal part in forcing the present plank on his
party against the desperate opposition of Republican
vets:
The plank is, of course, Mr.. Hoover's own
Mr. Hoover won the acceptance of his plank only
after an intense struggle in which his stand entities

that saved the day"
The dry label could not have been hung on Mr..
Hoover more confidently or by a more distinguished
advocate of the dry cause
1t will be interesting to note what the Christian
Century and other distinguished organs of dry opinion
Will have to say about MIR. Hoovers advanced views
on prohibition in his speech of acceptance.
Can they still find ways Of proving that he is
merely "expedient dry?" Will they still regard
the issue clearly drawn between the two parties
as in 1928? Will they seek comfort in the Republic

What will they say about the Hoover who refused
early in June to run repeal platform, but two
months later out fatty for state control of
the liquor traffic?

The CITY Is Sound

Not the least of the accomplishments of Mayor
Reginald Sullivan is the foresight by which the credit
of the city has been maintained in the days of de-
haton.
The mayor insists upon margin of at least
two and half million of dollars in the bonding
limitations.
Other mayors have borrowed the limit in times
of IMITATION their chief desire being to spend rather
than to conserve.
Now comes the slashng property valuations and
the wisdom Of the mayor is indicated. This city is
still far under its legal bonding limit It's credit is
sound.
That is worth something in these Gays of diff

Indiana's Idealists

Indictment of the heads Of two great fraternal
carnations on charges Of consprng to run lotteries
calls attention to how far the federal government
takes an interest in the daily lives Of the individual
Two of these leaders are known and we'll known to
Indiana. One started as an iron puddler at Elwood
and is now a United States senator
He heads the organization which maintains home
for children in Illinois enterprise that has at
tracted thousands Of members to his lodge
1t is charged that ne violated federal law
in regard to lotteries in gathering funds for this
humanitarian project.
The other Indiana is Frank Herring of South
Bend to whom a tablet dedicated at the English
opera house two years ago in commemoration Of the
fact that a speech delivered there a quarter of
century ago started Mothers day He has been
decorated the only civilian to receive such an honor
by the War Mothers
More than that it was Herring who gave impetus
and life to the movement to obtain old age pensions
and largely through his inspiration such system
has been adopted in eighteen states. That did not
please the conservatives who refuse to recognize
change in economic conditions.
1t Herring, also, who started the appeal for
sterilization of employment and dedicated the order
in which he is factor to the principle that it is the
"inalienabe right of every adult American citizen to
work continuously at saving wage"
The charge against him is that he consented to
the gathering Of funds for these crusades through
the sale of tickets to members which carried chance
for large winnings and therefore a lottery.
What the lodges did, apparently, was exactly what
almost every church has done from time to time when
pressed for funds and conducted bazars and sold
chances on quilts or cakes. They are charged with
putting the church fair on a nationwide basis
The courts in due time will decide upon their guilt
and until such time they entitled to suspension
of judgment by the court of public opinion.
Meanwhile 1t may be well to remember the glori-
crusades for which the funds were raised-the
maintenance of a home for orphan children and a
battle against the misery that comes from lack of
work and old age in poorhouses.
This state has produced too few ideasts to lose
faith in them on the mere announcement of a fed
eral indictment.

People S Voice

Editor Times-My attention has
been called to communication to
The Times in a recent issue crit
icising certain actions of Andrew
N. Miller. superintendent of mu-
nicipal nurseries in Riverside park.
Particular attention was directed to
the treatment of a block of birch
trees. AS I have f1rst-hand knowl-
edge Of this action, may 1 have the
privilege Of space in your valued
columns to correct the erroneous
beliefs of your correspondent?
During the spring Of 1881, in con-
nection with selection of plant ma
terial for the vicinity of the Tag
CART Memorial entrance to River
side park, had occasion to make a
thorough inspection o. the Riverside
nurseries.
Included in the plan for the me-
mortal is naturalistic pool Of consid-
cradle size in the low ground to the
west, which also will serve as a re-
flecting basin.
Lack of funds has prevented it's
completion, but planting plans were
made, so it gradually can be devel-
oped. Among the plants it is pro-
posed to use a number Of white
birches.
Those familiar with birches in
their natural habitat know how at
tractive they are, especially where
ground has been cut over and the
trees have spread with several
stems from one root instead of one
trunk.
Such conditions are noted in clear
ings, especially along water courses,
and along fence rows. Such growth
of trees with many stems is known
as coppice growth, and any tree
with three or more stems or trunks
Familiarity is known as a coppice
tree.
During my inspection of the nur-
sery, 1 saw block Of tall European
white birch which offered splen-
did opportunity to create a generous
stock Of coppice pirches, which
would be available not only for the
memorial planting, but also for use
along the streams of the city.
Moreover, the trees had grown
tall, with lower branches and were
not Of much value for ornamental
planting. BY cutting them back,
they quickly would become avail
able for most attractive planting.
I strongly recommended to Mil
Ter that this be done, and it was
carried out last fall. The growth

1T SEEMS TOME BY H EEE2%

NNE portion of President Hoo
~ ver's prohibition plan suffers
considerably from galloping naivete.
I refer to that part of the accept
ance speech in which Mr.. Hoover
declared in ringing tones that "in
no part of the United States shall
there be a return of the saloon"
And, of course, this same declara-
ton has been advanced in several
addresses by deserving Democrats,
The subject is somewhat confused
by the fact that none of the gen.
tlemen concerned in these predic-
tions has taken the trouble to de-
fine the saloon.
AS nearly as anybody can sur
mise, they are looking toward an
era in. which intoXicants may be
sold through some sort of dispen-
sary system, with the strict pro-
vision that they are not to be
drunk on the premises.
Each citizen must carry his gin
or beer or whisky out of the place
as fast as his legs will take him
and transport it to his abode. Mr..
Hoover is taking the old axiom that
there is no place like home a shade
too literally.

We Fear Innovations

A PPRECIATION of knowledge
L n still is lacking in several fields
notably politics and law. When
it comes to government and the
court, we are handicapped by real
fear of innovations.
You never hear the word "radi-
calism' used in connection with
scientific theories, or mechanical
productions. You never hear a doc
tor called red because he proposes
q new treatment or tried a new
operation.
When it comes to problems of
statecraft and justice, we are hope
less conservatives, scared to break
away from precedent, or custom.
The reason is not hard to find.
We lack sufficient knowledge to
make us trust in more knowledge.
We never have studied law and
politics with open minds.
Our guiding thought is not one
of faith in the possibility of i'm
provement. We look backward in
stead of forward. What we call
principle often is mere method.
