Mr., Mills Puts Up
A Good Front

No one in America is bet
ter equipped, if any one is
so we'll equipped, to meet
Mr.. Mills condescension,
his sophistries, his misrep-
reservations as Garner. The
latter has been intimately
identified with governmental
activities for 80 years and
knows the governmental ma
chinery in all its parts. For
years he has been of the
committee that has dealt
with the budget and the
finances of the nation.

agement of the finances in
the interest of the few by
the man who was put in the
Treasury in 1921 to super
wise the Government in the
interest of the financial
oligarchy.
When Mr.. Mills complains
of the delay in the passage
of tax bill to balance the
budget, Mr.. Garner can re-

Mills in his estimates.

LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson

What about the mother who
would subject her babies to
such risk? Mothers are peo-
pie in 1882 and should be
treated as such. And a flying
mother who will risk her babies
on such an exhibition is ex-
actly as responsible for her
heartlessness as a flying father.
Something should be done
about such parents.
But, first, something should
be done about all of us who
think that parents are in a
class by themselves, with Spe-
cial exemptions and peculiar
sanctifications.
This classical idea that
"Poppa and Momma Know
Best" and "A Parent Is a
Child's Best Friend" is vicious
bunk.
No one can be a better or a
more devoted friend to a child
than that child's father or
mother. PROVIDED SAID PAR
ENT IS AN INTELLIGENT,
WELL-B A La need, UNSEL-
FISH AND KINDLY HUMAN
BEING. But there is nothing
about the physical fact of par
enthood which automatically
endows a male or female with
intelligence, balance or char
acter.
AND THE PLAIN FACT IS
THAT MANY A PARENT POS
SESSES NONE OF THESE
QUALITIES.
YET. BECAUSE OF OUR
SENTIMENTAL ATT I T U D E,
WE PERMIT ALL PARENTS,
WITHOUT QUALIFICATIONS,
TO HAVE ACTUAL POWER
OF LIFE OR DEATH OVER
THEIR LITTLE ONES.
If stranger had taken
those little Hutchinson girls for
that transatlantic flight and
crashed with them in Green
land, the whole world would
have rocked with horror and
indignation.
Silly Parents
Yet, because the two silly,
selfish human beings who sub
jected them to that risk. for
purposes of personal exploita-
ton, happened to be their
father and mother, they will
probably escape with slight
criticism-and be allowed to
repeat the performance as soon
as they get another plane.
Some way should be found
to control these exhibitions.
Children are constantly being
exploited by unfit pa~ents-dis-
played in theaters, dragged
through parades-with a brutal
disregard for their immature
bodies and minds.
We have State and Federal
laws for the protection of trees,
waterways, orchards, livestock,
for t'4ese things are part of
our national treasure. Yet the
richest portion of our national
treasure, the children of Amer
ica, are still exposed to ruth.

Appreciation and Flattery

Appreciation and Flattery
Beware of the person who
would cajole you into doing
something that you think you
should not do.
Flattery is a tonic for some
folk.
Every one is more or less sus-
ceptible.
There is a wide difference be-
tween genuine appreciation and
flattery.
Appreciation is honest and
flattery has some end to gain
by it.
You can remember without
any trouble of various times
when you have been persuaded
to do something which your
conscience forbade because OF
the words of flattering praise
that some person used to in
fluence you.

I can't get the cruelty and

Poor little tads! I'll wager
there's hardly mother IN

the thought of it.

Usually, I'd be all a-throb

Hutchinson, also. But, under

When Ogden Mills, who,
more than any other with
the exception Of Andrew
Mellon, personifies the finan-
cial oligarchs who have
ruled and ruined the coun-
try, starts westward to con-
vince "the sons Of the wild
jackass," as his friend Moses
calls the farmers, it will not
take the Westerners long to
take his measure.
To find a greater blunder

happier than the decision

Mills will seem a stranger,

who has fought the battle

Charles Curtis?
With all the interest in
Garner movements, no one
seems conscious of the ex-
istence Of his opponent who
is being ignored as utterly
as though he were no more
than a super in a mob
scene on the stage. He is
being sent into States that
are so hopelessly Democratic
that he can do no harm and
rigidly excluded from the
industrial centers Of the
East where the fight is on.
When it was proposed to
send him into Pennsylvania,
a vigorous protest from his
own party against his pres
ence there was made be-
cause Of his fanatic devo-
tion to the eighteenth
Amendment and the Vol
stead act. A compromise
was made; he agreed not to
mention his prohibition
views there and to discuss
the tariff. He has been
discussing the tariff ever
since.
But such are his discus
sions that we do not recall
a single editorial comment,
even in his party's papers;
and the reports of his
speeches are as meager as
the speeches are lean. Even
the most partisan editor can
not do much with a speech
this year predicated on the
claim that the Grundy pro-
hibitive tariff act has main
tanned the American stand
ard of living for the work
ingman
Meanwhile the propaganda
of falsehoods about Garner
has petered out. It was
planned to picture him as
disloyal to the party in
1928; it was such a mon
strous lie it has been aban-
dOned.
1t was proposed to describe
him as a wild-eyed radi-
cal"; and that may call for
plain blunt analysis of the
occasion for it. It could
not be because, to furnish
jobs, he proposed to con-
struct public buildings,
since these were all ap.

he could enjoy the twilight

of the best in the South,

VERA CRUZ PROPOSES
STRICT BIRTH CONTROL
Projected Law Would Require Per-
sons Wanting Children to .
Face Investigation.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
VERA CRUZ. Mexico, October %
DR.. 8. Salvador Mendoza, one of the
drafterS Of the new civil code, an
nounced today that state authorities
had decided to draw up a law to es-
t2bllsh system of birth control In
Vera Cruz.
DR.. Mendoza, an attorney. said the
various provisions of the law and penal
ties for violation had not been settled
upon as yet, but that a state birth con-
troll Office would be provided to carry
out the plan.
AS now sketched. the attorney said,
the law would require parents wishing
to have children to appear before the
board. An inquiry would be made as
to the size Of family. ability to provide
and educate end condition of the health
of parents
The measure would prohibit children
to extremely poor, incompetent or de-
fective parents.
DR. Mendoza explained he was pre-
pairing the birth control law OF the code
with the idea of "benefting the prole-
tariat and lettering the race"
The state government planned. DR..
Mendoza said, to appoint committee
Of obstetricians to discuss with Mar
garet Sanger. the birth control advocate,
how best the code could be applied to
better the race, avoid birth of detectives
and prevent large families where par
ents were unable to maintain them.
