NEVER in his long career
~ of popularity with the
people has Mayor Walker, of
New York, received such an
overwhelming ovation as
that which marked the close
of his testimony before the
Republican legislative inves-
tigating committee. The
rather frenzied nature OF
the acclaim was indicative
of the deep resentment OF
the man in the street of the
use of three-quarters Of a
million dollars Of the peo-
ple's money, in days when
welfare organizations tell us
children are without bread,
for the transparent purpose
of serving the pie-counter
purposes of a political party
in which the people of New
York city have no conf
dence.
The public understands the
purely partisan origin Of
the whole proceedings. They
were Matched in Washing
ton in Hoover Administra-
ton circles. They followed
a series of conferences there
with Kingsland Macy, the
Republican State chairman.
The purely partisan nature
and intent was manifested
in the brazen manner in
which the rotten-borough
Republican legislature re-
fused to consider the inves-
tigation of specific charges
of corruption in Republican
controlled municipalities.
1t has been revealed in
the attitude of the party
press. It has been measured
by the spacing of the hear
ings to bring them up to
the national conventions.
So prominent and predomi-
nant is the partisan motive
that the excuse given by
the rotten-borough legisla-
ture for the use of the three
quarters of a million dollars
of taxpayers money, to the
effect that weaknesses in
the city's charter would be
revealed and remedied, has
been entirely forgotten.

SIDED. -,
Fifty million, more or less,
years ago man was a stupid
creature, living in groups, IKE
wolf packs, with no more social
organization or scientific knoWl-
edge than wolves. He had no
laws except the pack rules;
no tools except fist and tooth.
Then, slowly, man began to
arm himself, train himself to
fight against other brutes, to
rule the jungle and shape a
society Of his own.
A Feeble Start
So civilization began, very
feebly at first, not gaining
much momentum for many.
many centuries. Men herded
together in walled citadels, Of
fered sacrifices together in
strange temples; but human
life was still close to wolf-pack
life. Man still knew little
about his world or himself, was
still bound by his own fear
and ignorance.
Then, all at once, everything
speeded up amazingly. Science
began to take hand. Science
invented machines, equipped
laboratories, started factories.
Suddenly life became infinitely
more complicated and danger
Gus and at the same time more
free and easy.
Where once man had only
his two hands, a bow and ar
row, a clumsy spade and an
equally clumsy pen, wherewith
to meet the world, he now had
thousands of tools, hundreds
Of new forms Of energy.
Sit down. Take a paper. Ask
some old person to join you.
Then try to list all the inven-
tions that have come, the dis.
coYeries that have been made,
in the last hundred years.

LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson

You'll be surprised! More In
ventions and discoveries in that
one hundred years than the
preceding two thousand! A
whole world changed in the
memory of living men!
NOW THINK WHAT THAT
CHANGE DID TO MEN.
Suppose you take a little ten
year-old child, who had always
played with toys in his fathers
yard, far from the city, know
ing nothing but the quiet ranch
life, then suddenly sweep away
everything that child has
known, all the old faces, all the
old ideas, all the familiar Gus
toms. Drop him down in the
midst of the city'S bedlam.
Give him every form of dan
gerous machine. Release him
from discipline and drudgery.
Tell him that everything his
father did or had or feared
or desired was baloney. Tell
him he can have what he
pleaseS, do what he pleases-
go to it!
The Result
What will happen to that
child?
HE WILL GO HAYWIRE.
And that is exactly what has
happened to the human race.
The human race has gone hay.
wire. Science has given us too
much power, too much speed,
too much opportunity, too much
freedom, too much pleasure, too
much ease, too much competi-
ton, before we were ready
for it.
Science has developed and
complicated the physical side Of
life until it has become as fan
taStic and miraculous as an
Arabian Nights dream.
BUT WE ARE STILL MEN
TALLY AND MORALLY CN'
DEVELOPED.
Our mechanical progress is
two million years ahead of our
mental progress. We are a wolf
pack turned loose in the Rookie
feller Institute, riding the ele-
vatorS of the Empire State
Building. We are children, play
ing with earthquakes and tidal
waves.
OUR HANDS PULL LEVERS,
BUT OUR HEADS AND OUR
HEARTS DON'T KNOW WHAT
IT'S ALL ABOUT.
Now we're forced to stop
awhile, or we'll smash ourselves
to smithereenS. We're forced to
catch our breath. Learn how
to use time, how to, use power,
wealth, human energy. Learn
how to use ourselves.
Must Catch Up
What has happened? That's
what has happened. Not a
market crash or a war. Some
thing infinitely bigger and more
significant than any market
crash or any war. A jerk in the
human cycle. A smash and a
slow up. We've come too fast,
too far. NOW WE MUST
CATCH UP WITH OURSELVES.
There's a little book about it.

Mills Unable to
Agree With Smith

With the Wagner bill pre-
sented in the Senate, and the
Garner bill in the House,
providing for a program Of
Federal public works to put
unemployed brea d winners
back into the purchasing
class, the Hoover Administra-
tion, in the person of Ogden
Mills, moves to the front
with reasons for not doing
anything for the unem-
ployed.
Mr.. Mills is the last man
in America to realize the con-
ditions in the homes and
lives of the eight to ten mil
lion nsen denied their right
to work, and Of the thirty
million men, women and
children affected by it. He
is a very rich man and he is
more interested in stocks
and bonds than in jobs. In
this he reflects the whole
attitude of the Hoover
regime during the last three
years of unpreced d ent e d
human misery.
Nothing could reveal so
startlingly Mr.. Mills narrow
class consciousness as his
utter failure to understand
that nothing can possibly
undermine public confidence
so much as the indefinite
continuation of unemploy-
ment, and his apparent in
ability to understand that
there can be no restoration
Of prosperity with thirty mil
lion people denied buying
power.
He says that he is unable
to agree with Governor
Smith that "business cannot
get under way on its own
initiative" " He thinks it
can. He is quite sure that
orders would flow in on the
factories because of crowded
stores if the budget were
balanced. The reason the
stores are empty? The
budget is not balanced!
The people are not buying
clothes and food in abun-
dance-because they are
waiting for the balancing of
the budget! The eight mA-
lion jobless men have moth
ing to do with business con-
ditions The thirty million
including the dependents of
these jobless men have moth
ing to do with the empty
stores! The thirty million

Sympathy Seekers


With so many helpful and in
teresting worthwhile things to
think about, why waste so
much time thinking about your
self?
When the breadth Of your
vision, the extent of your
thoughts, are bounded by that
little sphere within yourself
you are sure to become mar
rowminded and far from gen.
erous and lovable.
There is no chance for eX-
pansion, no opportunity, nor in.
centive to become big, broad
and companionable while you
are wrapped in a cloak Of self.

Usually this is a forerunner
Of self pity.
When this latter stage is
reached there is not much In
life that seems worthwhile.
There is none so boresome as
the one who is continually
down on his luck" and for
ever seeking sympathy.
People are torn enough by
those who really need help and
sympathy.
The breaking point is reached
when a person in fairly good
health enjoying an income that
meets curtailed expenses, makes
a plea for sympathy.
Get away from yourself-look
upon your troubles as the lot
Of humans.
Quit grumbling, plug along
head up, shoulders squared and
a mouth shut so far as talking
about i'll fortune is concerned.

No Concern of
The Government

ne 0ONSI 1ImeII
Of course if the budget is
balanced, as it will be, if
we keep on taking money
from the Federal Treasury
to finance private business
corporations, the merchant,
looking out on the ever
lengthening line of from
eight to ten million jobless
men, will overflow with con-
fidence. There is nothing
to worry Government in
that picture. 1t is no con-
Germ Of Government at all.
So runs the thinking of
the Administration.
And millions Of men, hui
inflated, their children in
adequately fed, are apt to
conclude that there is some
thing of cold cruelty and
brutality in that point Of
view.
There will be no revival
of business so long as many
millions of people are with
out purchasing power; they
will not have purchasing
power until they get work,
and they will never get
work if they wait until

Mr.. Mills Is
Not Worried

Mr.. Mills is not worried.
He sees nothing ominous in
the situation. "Give busi-
ness a chance" he says.
"Then with confidence re-
stored" etc. Is business
justified in having "confi-
dence" when it reads that
there are more jobless men
without purchasing power
today than there were two
months ago?
The pollyanna complex of
the Administration, which
has made it so ridiculous in
it's reassurances for three
black years is illustrated in
the recent savage comment
of Secretary Wilbur that the
children who are suffering
from lack of food and
proper clothing are to be
congratulated on the good it
is doing them. It is time
to end this sort Of mockcry.
If we were involved in
war just now billions in
bonds would be floated to
get the money for the work
of destruction. But two TO
five billions in bonds for the
work of reconstruction to
prevent starvation and to
revive business alarms Mr..
Mills. There are alarming
features to the situation to-
day he evidently cannot COM
prehend. Haven't the peo-
pie suffered in silence?

Tech Clash
Rivals TangIe in Thirteenth
Fray on East Side
Wednesday.

For the thirteenth time. Short
ridge Blue Devils will tackle Tech
nical in the annual grid feud
Wednesday afternoon at the east
side field. The game, which was
postponed from last Friday, will get
under way at p. m. Both teams
are reported in top shape after prac-
tice Monday.
Of the twelve rivalry games,
Shortridge has won five and Tech
six, their second game being a score
less tie.
The first Tech Shortridge tilt was
played in 1920, and was won by
Tech. FOR the next four years
Tech won every game, then Short
ridge stepped in with five 'consecu-
tive victories. Tech broke the Blue
winning streak last year by shading
Shortridge on a rain drenched field,
Z to A.
Bob Nipper's FASTENERS held a
lengthy drill session at the north
side field Monday, and the Short
ridge mentor announced he would
have full strength for the fray.
Tech also went through a long
session, polishing offensive and de-
fensiVe formations. Pete Pardue,
star ball carrier, may be missing
from the Green back field Wednes-
day.
