Editor Times-Hoover might have
added that the Garner bill was not
only barreled pork, but a mighty
unsavory mess Of it.
It might be a good idea for the
unemployed if the government built
a new postoffice in every cross
roads town with gold cage for the
political hasbeens). so that the I'M
employed could watch the con-
struction. and have something to
brag about. But when it comes to
building new postoffices costing S70,-
600 and up, where the cement
scarcely has dried on the last one,
Herbert or somebody ought to
squeak.
Some of the towns mentioned in
the bill have new buildings, and
other small communities have
adequate quarters for selling the few
stamps and postcards used. No
one knows of a community worth
salving for political purposes that
has its postoffice in tent.
Hoover may have made the
mistake Of talking building pro-
gram before he knew what 1t was
all about, but any man in his right
mind knows now that the people
who might build the buildings
would have to use their wages 70
pay the taxes for building the said
structures and then be delinquent.
OF course, II it is discovered that
some Of the towns on the list have
new postoffices. the thousands OF
dollars appropriated can be passed
out to some Of the boys, to buy thou
sand-dollar electric ranges and
$500 bulls for the poor farms back
home.

ounce and corn flakes / cent an

turer of 1000 to 5000 per cent.

1t sounds logical to say that all

But this theory will not quite stand

segregated and insulated compartments should func-

1T may be that shall have to consider some

Theoretically doubtless all would agree that a

Of democracy which is cumbersome to the very degree
that it is representative.
But there Is an IF" and it is big one. Your
dictator dictatorial minority must be efficient,
selfish and honest The practical problem is to find
leaders to whom the people safely could enrust what
Mr.. Young calls extraordinary powers"
In the present emergency, We are less impressed
with the failure of political machinery than With
the failure Of our chaotic dog-eat-dog economic
system
We are less concerned with the delays caused by
our political checks and balances than with the tragic
lncapacity of our Office holders to the machinery
at hand.
Democracy which must be vacated in times of
crisis for dictatorship is no democracy. Whenever
our democratic machinery fails in this country,
shall be quite ready TO scrap it for anything better.
But first we want a fair trial for the democratic
method with more intelligent and courageous eco
nomic and political leaders

Depend Upon Prohibition,

NEW YORK, June Mime out
~ ten people in this country
want a chance 10 express them
selves regarding prohibition. They
want that chance not only as
matter Of personal interest, but be-
cause Of a deep and growing con-
viction that the existing state Of
affairs is hopeless.
Drys are as dissatisfied as vets.
The thought Of retaining present
laws by gag rule has been aban-
doned by all, save a few fanatics.
Though there are marked differ
ences of opinion as to the reason,
it generally is agreed that prohi-
bition enforcement has collapsed.
Many look upon the resultant con-
dition as having a definite bearing
on the country's distress. The idea
that modification, or repeal, would
help recovery, is gaining ground.
Putting that aside, it is admitted
almost universally that decisive
action Of some kind must be taken,
that we can not go on as We are,
that no nation is strong enough to
stand the continued strain of such
a sham.

All for the Regulars

T AM not in the least anti-medi-
L cal. My faith in all the fads is
small. Every radical ought to be
conservative about something. and
I prefer the orthodox practitioners.
Yet with a reservation.
From my point of view, they
ought to be orthodox about serums
and vaccines, but could wish them
much more rebellious in their atti-
tlIde toward life. That will come
when the practicing physician is
more aware of his responsibility as
an Artist. Pure scientists belong in
the research laboratory but never in
the consulting room.
A doctor must deal with phases
of personality which can not be
measured as yet by any instruments.

poor policy for any party leader 70
attempt saddling the country with
town pumps for Frogtown, Hungry
Hollow and Scratch Gravel, leave
alone postoffices.
Some figures on this funny re-
lief program are as follows: There
are at least 10000, 900 idle in this
country. If $4,000, 600, 900 is spent
on postoffices, this gives each Ia
borer $500 and leaves nothing for
high priced architects and con-
tractors and materials.
At $4,000 per stone pile,
81, 900, 100000 would build 28.57l
buildings, and this would give each
state sos new political cages.
This would require $50 laborers
on each job. Garner might sell the
hot-dog concessions on each Job for
enough TO get back some of the
dough he thinks people are hoard
ing.
II many of the $4,000 type are
erected. this would not make any
difference in the 5000 a person, I'M
less his wages be locked TO pay op-
orators tax on the hot-dog stands

Blessing in Disguise
A S the nation suffers the gloom

Ot010tll0 ~ - - NiiNN
TTAYNES is of the opinion that
II for mergers. the check Of 1891
was a well disguised blessing be-
cause it dried up the sources OF
easy money.
AS a result, further expansion was
stopped and the merged companies
put to the necessity of perfecting
their internal consolidation.
The sharp curtailment OF chem
ical demand and the subsequent de-
cline in prices forced economy upon
management, making necessary the
consolidation Of operating units and
Capitalization of administration and
injecting a needed caution into
plans for manufacturing and sales
expansions" he says.
Furthermore, curtailed produc-
ton and lowered prices reflected IN
the balance sheets were translated
into sharp declines in the stock
market quotations of many chem
ical securities.
This was a novel experience Tor
the major executives Of some OF our
greatest chemical companies.
For the first time they left sharp
ly the direct. tangible, unfavorable
influence of the stockholders. Moth
ing else so could have empha-
sized all that it means for a great
industry to pass from the stage OF
the privately-owned company TO
the publicly-owned corporation.
The depression of 1880 very def
nitely has marked this great transi-
ton in American chemical in
dustry."

THE New York Academy of
Il Medicine gave a dinner the
other night to newspaper men, and
we all made speeches. First, some
doctor would get up to say how
much he admired the standards and
ethics of journalism, and then a re-
porter would reply by laying it on
pretty thick about the physicians.
1t was not quite in accord with
the spirit Of the evening, for it seems
to me that the efforts to make your
liver and mine good feature copy
have not been altogether happy up
till now.
I used to be among those who
urged the members of the medical
profession to abandon their secrecy
and come out into the open to tell
us what they we're all about. But
by now I have begun to lean back
to the old Victorian tradition of re-
ticence for healers.
1t is not impossible to present
scientific subjects in a popular and
accurate form, but at least 1t is
difficult. And when doctor begins
to write for newspapers or maya
zines of general circulation he has
a tendency to go James M. Barrie
on his public.
I wish these missionaries to the
laymen would not condescend so
confoundedly. I would much prefer
to know nothing at all about my
heart than have it told to me in
the form of a bedtime story.

Even when candidates do appear
10 make plain, simple statements,
they often enter into some alliance
which casts doubt upon it.
Here is Governor Roosevelt OF
New York, for instance, supposed to
be so wet as to favor nothing less
than repeal, but demanding a dry
chairman for the Democratic con-
vention. From a political angle,
that may be good strategy, but from
a popular angle, it is not.
Independent voters, and there are
millions of them this year, are
looking for something better than
bargains TO preserve partisan har-
mony. and they are looking for it
particularly with reference to pro-
hibition.

A S the nation suffers the gloom

One such observer is William

that the depression is strengthen

Haynes just has made a study OF
mergers in the field OF American

First Chance to G, 0. P,

THE Republican party has a
Il chance to speak first. 1t is a
wonderful chance-a chance which
as E. T. Leach says. may determine
the party's very existence. I would
say that the forthcoming election is
practically bound up in it, that if
the Republicans come out with a
clean, straightforward plank for
action that will give the American
people an opportunity to express
themselves effectively, they will
have regained much of the prestige
which they have lost through three
years Of dawdling.
I would say that the Republicans
can steal a very large portion of
Democratic thunder merely by tax
ing a common sense stand on pro-
hibition.
Will they do it, and If they do
not, will the Democrats have enough
courage and perspicuity to make
proper use of their mistake?
II it were left for men in the
street to decide, one would have
little difficulty in guessing the
answer, but who can tell what the
average political board Of strategy
will do?
If it were left to such clear think
ers as Al Smith. or Nicholas Muir
ray Butler. one could guess, but
will they be allowed a voice. or be
muzzled, as they were four years
ago?
