They Feel Hurt

WI 'S'
The same thing Invariably
happens whenever you use sto-
ries that involve a particular
set of people. In last seasons
reduction of "Hot-Cha,"
which had to do with Bert
Lahr's adventures in Mexico,
Bert was called upon to make
q speech. He was playing an
extremely dumb character and
the speech. as written, made
him begin with the following
line:
Ladies and Gentlemen-and
Mexicans."
The authors had no intention
Of harming anyone with that
line. 1t was the type of line
that the character would very
naturally have uttered. But the
trouble it caused poor Flo zieg-
field before the matter was
finally adjusted! The Mexican

moved from the show. Promi-
nent Mexicans wrote letters of
complaint. There were phone
calls and kilograms. And so on
down the line.
The same thing happens to
practically all daily columnistS,
with the exception of the fact
that the reaction is intensified
many times. I know of no
columnist who goes out of his
way to be deliberately nasty to
any race or religion. He
couldn't. Because, unless he
were working for that type of
paper, he wouldn't last very
long. It's simply that it's a
human failing to appreciate a
joke only when it's on the
other fellow-and the col
umnist must take the rap in
the long run.

LIQUOR? NOT IN
 SAN FRANCISCO

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1s.- There isn't a drop of wine or liq- uor in the city and county of San Francisco.
 That is the official conclusion reached today by Harold Boyd, ex- ecutive secretary to Assessor Rus sell L. Wolden after an exhaustive inqui.-y.
 Wolden ran across a chapter in the state revenue law which pro- vides that the assessor must make an annual report to the state board of equalization on the number of gallons of wine and liquor within his Jurisdiction
 Acting on instructions from .Wolden, Boyd called in all the deputy assessors and representa- tiveS of the sheriff's office, the police department, the coroner's of flee, the tax collector office and the cit.y license bureau, who with one voice declared they knew noth- ing about any supplies of wine, or liquor hereabouts.

Senator Reed on
Debt Cancellation

Not long ago we had occa-
sion frequently to quote ap-
provingly from the Senate
speeches of Senator Reed,
of Pennsylvania, in vigor-
Gus denunciation of the
plan Of the international
bankers to transfer the debts
of Europe to the backs of
American taxpayers. The
Senator gave himself no pos
sible avenue of escape. He
fairly boiled with indigna-
tion at the thought.
Under the circumstances
one we'll may wonder at the
leadership he is now appar-
emily assuming in the for
mulating of a plan to accom-
plish that which four months
ago he denounced as a vi
cious betrayal of the Ameri-
can people. His conference
in London with Mellon and
Macdonald; his conferences
in Paris with Edge and Her
riot, leave little reason to
hope that he has not gone
over bag and baggage to the

ONCE OVERS

What have you ever done for
any orphaned child?
There must be some such un-
fortunate in your neighborhood
to whom you might play the
role of a good fellow.
If you are a man you might
help a little bit in filling the
place of a father to some lad
in giving him occasional good
times.
If a woman, there are many
things you might do for a
motherless girl.
Not necessarily financial ex-
penditure is needed to befriend
the boy or girl who has lost
both parents.
But even if a little money
should be needed, the amount
would not be large to provide
wholesome amusement once in
a while for the child.
CompanionShip does not cost
anything in dollars and cents.
Sometimes that is harder to
give than to put your hand in
your pocket for a dime or a
dollar.
You need not encourage
begging attitude on the part of
a child.
It would not help a child a
bit to think it could get some
thing for nothing from you.
That isn't the idea at all.
To feel that someone is inter.
ested and would like to do if
it were possible, and that per.
son does add occasional unex-
pected pleasure, is comforting
to a child.

them in the marvellous new ma
chinery installed by the harbor
authorities.
Dingy, dark, winding streets
mark the harbor district. But
right in the city are fine, broad
streets. such as Lord Street and
Bold Street, the shopping Gen.
ter. But it is the suburbs Of
Liverpool that are really de-
lightful, as we'll as the places
across the Mersey.
There is always plenty doing
at New Brighton. It has a
grand beach and bathing and
one is quite likely to find an
artist of world repute giving
a concert in the Winter Gar
den. A three-mile walk along
the beach will enable one to
see such points as Great Ormes
Head on the Welsh coast.
Across the Mersey is Birken-
head, where the great Laird
shipbuilding yards give employ
ment to thousands.
Quite near Liverpool is one
of England's stateliest homes.
This is Knowsley Hall, the an
cestral seat of the family Of
the Earl of Derby. 1t is at
Seton, itself a very beautiful
spot. Walking through the
great park at Knowsley is like
being projected into the past.
Right near Liverpool, too, is a
collection of stones similar to
that of Stone Henge.
1t is known as Druids Cross,
which Is gust what it is.

LiverpoOI-Rewins Some Of Its
Old Glory
There was a time when land
ing at Liverpool used to be
more popula,, with transatlan-
tic visitors than it is today.
But for those who wish to ex'
plore the beauty of the Shake
speare country and of the
lovely lake country immortal
lied by Wordsworth and other
poets, Liverpool is the best port
of debarkation.
The majorit.' of travellers
hurry into the boat train as
soon as possible, which is a
mistake. For, although Liver
pool is not the most cheerful
of cities, it has lots Of things
we'll worth seeing, and its sub
urbs are we'll worth a visit.
AS the ship sails down the
Mersey, old st. Nicholas Church
is visible, venerable old pile,
over 1000 years old. 1t has
seen the port on the Mersey
grow to greatness and then de-
cline. But new improvements
have brought new prosperity to
the harbor, and there is now
more shipping than has been
the case in many moons.
There is a 17-foot tide, which
means lots of calculating on
the part of ship captains in
order to bring their craft into
the harbor on full tide. Those
who are interested in engineer
ing will find much to intrigue

Throwing Foreign
Customers Out

This is in keeping with his
notorious incapacity for
leadership, his incurable
timidity, his lack Of decision,
his temperamental inertia.
1t is in line with the
tendency to drift and do
nothing, in the Micawber
hope that " "something will
turn up" Meanwhile other
nations are strengthening
their hold on the Eastern
markets to which we are en-
titled to a large share.
Mr.. Roosevelt submits no
definite program, since that
is impossible without an in
ternational agreement; and
there can be no such agree
ment without an interna-
tional conference. He
pledges himself Immediately
to call a CONFERENCE.-THE
that is the action Mr.. Hoover
has been sleeping on. Moth
ing will be agreed to, Of
course, that would be detri-
mental to sound currency.
But we cannot keep on
throwing our foreign custo-
mers out the window or
kicking them out the door
and reasonably hope for the
restoration Of prosperity.
The Washington times., 1932-09-24

TN his speech at Butte,
Il Montana, it was natural
that Mr.. Roosevelt should
have discussed the problem
of silver which enters to
considerable extent into the
explanation of our depres-
sion. AS he says, there is
no difference between the
positions of the two parties
as to purpose; and only a
difference in method and in
capacity for leadership. No
one can doubt that unless
something is done we must
lose the enormous trade of
the silver countries of the
Orient.
No one is suggesting an
abandonment Of the gold
standard here; no one be-
lieves that some of the
countries in the Far East
offering the richest markets
are going to adopt the gold
standard; and every one
knows that under existing
conditions we shall go on
losing our Eastern markets
until some international ar
rangement is perfected to
make it possible for the
silver countries to trade with
us.
This is not a political
question; it is an economic,
business problem. Business
men engaged in international
trade; economists and publl-
cists; statesmen and finan-
ciers who have given any
thought to the subject are
agreed that something must
be done about silver.
That is the reason that
much more than a year ago
the Congress by a unani-
nous vote, Democrats and
Republicans voting together,
adopted the Pittman resolu-
ton asking Mr.. Hoover to
call an international confer
ence.
And Herbert Hoover has
ignored the resolution.

dured with fortitude and resig-

Now, there is little truth
in that first belief. A man
can bring poverty upon him
self, even in the best organized
of programs. But there is no
truth whatever in that Sec
ond belief.
POVERTY IS NOT AN IN
EVITABLE PART OF HUMAN
LIFE.
POVERTY IS NOT A DE-
CREE OF GOD WHICH MEN

WE CAN, IF WE WILL,
ELIMINATE POVERTY FROM
HUMAN LIFE; AND WE WILL
NEVER BE CIVILIZED UNTIL
AND UNLESS WE DO ELIM1-
NATE 1T.
Poverty is a social sickness.
The wise and powerful men
who command our social sys-
tenn could eliminate that sick
ness. AS they have made a
plan to meet their own need,
so they could make a plan
which would answer the needs
of all those other men who
are unable to plan for them
selves.
Every family could live in a
decent home. Every man could
have a job. Every child could
have proper food, nursing and
education. Every woman could
have beauty around her and
protection at her time of need.
Not a Big Job
Nor would it be very diff
cult to accomplish this. The
wise and the powerful have
already done far more diff
ficult things. They have worked
scientific miracles, performed
engineering marvels, achieved
financial wonders in their search
for wealth and power.
They have done these things
for their own need and their
own profit; and if they would
feel the need of obscure mil
lions of human beings as
keenly as they feel their own
need, they could rescue those
millions from misery, as they
rescued themselves.
But there's the point. They
DON'T and they WON'T TRY
TO feel the other fellows need

important as theirs.

disaster.

to reduce wages or discharge
their workers. And so these
industries and roads gladly

the godfather of his people,

has been such a speedy re-
covery and wOrkingmen
have not lost their jobs or
suffered cuts in wages.
The fact that within a
