To Merrie EnoIandi

While we are daring to hope that this may be
the last of twelve miserable years of hypocrisy
snoopery and repression, cousins in England are
celebrating the end of 100 years of temperance
Englands temperance movement began in 1892
when seven wise men of Preston" laid out cam
paign based upon moral suasion and faith in human
nature.
They met in a small room in little cotton town
and pledged their lives to spread the ideal of tenn
perance among fellow Britons. Today temperance
in England is stronger than ever in it's history and
statistics prove it,
In the last twenty years of this movement, con-
sumption Of alcohol has decreased 48 per cent;
deaths attributable to alcohol have dropped from
5S27 to 2088; drinking hours have been reduced by
one-haf and the evils of excessive drinking almost
abolished.
In vain prohibition has tried to get hold in
England although for years there was one prohibit
ZIONIST in parliament. His name was Scrymgeour
of Dundee
Each year he introduced prohibition bill and
each year this was the occasion for merry holiday

upon amusements irk her people. A movement has
been begun to repeal the British Dora" the wartime

allied Dora called defense of rights and amuse-

our sensible cousins health and happiness in glass

Just Every Day Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

ONE of the worst travesties American justice
~ is taking place at this writing at Los Angeles. A
girl named Hazel Joan st. Pierre is suing David L.
Hutton husband of our wel-known soul-saver Aimee,
for 100000.
Miss ST. Pierre claims that he Tilted her to wed the
evangelist and therefore she is the victim of broken
heart, and nothing less than the above sum can
Soothe her ruffled feelings.
The trial makes excellent light summer reading.
It sacks of the movies The remarks tossed back and
forth by the leading characters filled with that
sort of badinage that passes for wit among the gang
wisecracks scintillate.
And when the defense announces that the plaintiff
once spoke Of the pious baritone "a big fat sob'
the house rocks with laughter.
Miss St. Pierres salles with the lawyers show that
her wit is not so heavy as her heart It is highly in
tereSting to learn that the amorous Mr. Hutton COM
posed love dtes to many ladies' and the descriptions
of his sofa technique and his mastery Of the of
kissing truly soul-stirring.
Only Democratic national convention could have
pushed this case to an inside page.
IT'S too bad that admission could not have been
charged to help defray the expense. For the pro-
ceedings well might be taking place in some darkened
theater before moving picture audience of ado
lescents.
But that such a parody actually could engage the
attention OF our courts of law and take up the time
of judges and attorneys is beyond the comprehension
OF the ayman, who has been taught to think of the
judiciary as the dignifed element of government
With the possible exception Of England, ours is
the only country on earth where such trial could
take place. and where taxpayers Of a commonwealth
would not rise in rebellion at such expenditure Of
public time and money.
This kind OF thing constitutes one of the biggest
racketsin the land 1t is discoagng to see that the
American, bar makes no effogt to stop it. -

Congress Has Cut


Some weeks ago, when the new tax bill was
passed. premature cry was raised that the budget
had been balanced though at that time congress had
not completed the task Of pairing annual appropria-
lions for the government.
Today the cuts have been accomplished, the budget
has been balanced according to the requirements laid
down by the administration, and yet new wall is
going up to the effect that congress has failed to
economize sufficiently.
The waiing was begun when President Hoover
who complained, when signing the economy bill, that
sit falls far short of the economies proposed by the
cabinet and other executive officers of the govern
nent." though the bill had been amended at his in
sistence to contain the furough plan for government
workers instead of the far drastic pay cut plan
of congress- and at his insstence had omitted con-
sodation of war and navy departments, estimated to
save $1o00000oo
few days later prominent business and financial
weekly warned its readers to maintain cautious at
titude toward long-term government bonds, because
of "the failure of congress to slice of more than
s15O000O00 from federal expenditures"
The fact of the matter is that government expen-
ditures for the 1888 fiscal year, begun, have been
cut approximately 6s under those Of the fiscal
year just closed
Since fixed charges, such as interest on the public
debt, could not be cut all reductions we're made in
the cost of operating government departments much
Of them at the expense Of employees.
This three quarters Of billion dollar saving in
seludes items in the economy bill roughly estimated as

, planned of physical symptoms, were
shy, diffident, and sensitive, or ex-
ceedingly rude.
This does not mean that all the
children had all these symptoms.
Some had only one bad habit, but
most of them had several of these
responses which were annoying to
themselves and to every one as
ISOLATED with them.
In most instances a careful dis
cuSsion of the subject with the child,
attempts to get the child to play
with other children, sometimes
sending the child away to visit
relatives, or to a distant school
brought about a realization of the
difficulty and a change in habits.
No two people react alike to
similar situations. What one per-
son will pass over in a small way
another will make into difficult
situation.
One person corrected responds
merely by endeavoring to improve
himself. Another becomes angry or
sullen and remains grouchy for
hours.
Obviously, there is something ap-
preaching an average response to

"The Sweat ROx"

Two Georgia prison guards have been charged with
first degree murder in a Of prison torture and
DEATH the details of which almost too revolving to
recount.
According to convict testimony, Arthur Mailefret,
49, lad serving time for larceny and robbery in the
prison camp at Bayard, beaten severely and then
placed in "sweat box" with chain around his
neck.
Having been i'll and deprived of food for two days,
he was unable to stand and falling in faint, choked
himself to death with the chain. The prisoners told
of the floggng of some twenty other convicts
Torture of prisoners belongs to another age, yet,
according to report by the late Wckersham COM
mission, still is common in Of the more
backward states of the Union.
It must be stopped. Those responsible for this
young mans death should be tried and punished like
any other murderers.
And the states that permit such medieval prac-
tees should be held up to the of civilized
commemorative.

The Two Fronts

Two emergencies exist in the state. One
is the high cost Of government, due to waste
and INSTRUCTED activities The other is UNI
employment.
The special session of the legislature, I'M
fortunately, has majority Of it's member
ship which does not aspire to reelection or
further public service In the shadow OF
election, public officials are more prone to
think of the public than in times when the
wrath of neighbors is distant threat.
1t is more unfortunate because this spe-
cial session might conceivably fall into the
hands of the big interests of the state which
have evinced desire to not only again forget
the forgotten man." but to give him one
more kick
The proposal to forgive the tax dodgers
their past crimes and bride them to honesty
at 25 cents on the dollar in the future is an
indication. The strong opposition to an in
come tax is another symptom of the mental
attitude of those who will attempt to direct
legislation.
There is one fund susceptible Of uses that
might benefit the public in both the reduc-
ton of taxes and in reducing unemployment.
The highway fund amounts to twenty
millions. At the present time, its value is
doubtful. The state can, get along with its
present road system. 1t will need even less
roads unless men get back to work and can
afford to drive automobiles.
The cities contribute most of this tax.
The cities tax themselves for their own
street repairs. The cities receive almost
nothing back from this fund.-
Whatever money is spent on roads in the
next year might be proftably turned back to
the cities, in proportion to what they pay
into the fund, to be used by them in street
repairs. That would put the unemployed
back to work in larger numbers than is done
under road contractors, whose peonage
wages are scandal and disgrace.
A portion of the fund might be used to
reduce levies in counties. None of it should
be left to the present board, whose record is
such as to suggest that it's abolition would be
the best solution.
Of course, the one simple way to reduce
the cost of government is to reduce the sal
, aries of the highly paid officials to level of
the purchasing power of the dollar in 1929,
when many increases went into effect. That
is probably too simple to be followed.
Unless some thought is given to the job
less man, the problem will become more than
acute next winter. AS matter of fact, it is
acute now. Many counties find it difficult
to give relief This session must not adj
journ until there is a guarantee that no man,
woman or child will be hungry or cold when
the SHOWS begin to fly.
This is not sentiment or even humanity.
It is the only way to security for those who
still are safe, fed and clothed.

most ordinary situations, and it is
the average response that is ex-
pected from most people.
Whenever a child or an adult re-
acts to an ordinary situation in an
excessive or impotent matter, there
is reason for study of the psyche
logic state and for some attempt to
understand either the inadequacy or
the over-activity of the response.
DR.. Thorn emphasizes the fact
that the child who responds to a
refusal with a temper tantruIn and
who annoys and disrupts his fam
lily is far better off so far as his
mental health is concerned than
the one who retires promptly into
solitude and finds his relief in fan
tastes and dreams in which he
either destroys the entire family or
disposes of them in some other
manner.
Conformity is social asset, but
conformity in most of the habits OF
life must be taken for granted.
1t is the departure from conform
ity as a result of mental made
quacy in the form of a feeling
either of inferiority or superiority
that demands the most serious con-
Sideration of the psychologist.

Look, mamma; the funny man

Again, the friendly offer of a place
in the sun is distinctly compromised
by some of its suggested by-products.

driven to the camp, where typical

Now, what on earth is a typical

no reason why should be as raw
as these inanimate vegetables. In
other words, I'll buy a radish, but

colony which has honored me with
its invitation has lake, we might
effect a compromise. But I won't

Where Quarrel Started

VETO of the relief bill passed by
' congress last week generally is
taken for granted, with the ex-
pectation that congress then will
eliminate the clause which offends
the President, but which only re-
fleets some of his earlier recon-
mendations.
Whatever happens, let us not for
get where responsibility for this
quarrel originated.
Said President Hoover on Oct. T.:
Furthermore, if necessity re-
quires, I will recommend creation Of
finance corporation similar in
character and purpose to the war
finance corporation, with available
funds sufficient for any legitimate
call in support of credit"
When he actually recommended
creation of such corporation in his
annual message some two months
later, the President expressed the
opinion that it should make tenn
porary advances upon proper secu-
rites to establish industries, rail-
roads and financial institutions,
which otherwise can not secure
credit"

NEW YORK. July 11.-war
L debts, water power, prohibition
and relief-four Of the gravest
problems before this country-can
you tell where President Hoover
stands with regard to any of them?
Assistant Secretary of State Cas-
tie says the Presidents attitude to-
ward war debts has not changed.
Drys would like to know if that is
true Of his attitude toward prohi-
bition. There is no doubt that his
attitude toward the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation has changed.
AS for his attitude toward water
power, it seems to lean one way at
Boulder dam and another at Muscle
Shoals.
Governor Roosevelt is warranted
in asking a personal conference
with the President to find out, if
possible, where the state of New
York stands in development of the
st. Lawrence before treaty is con-
cluded with Canada.
If he succeeds, he will have fur
nished one more proof that he
should be put in Mr. Hoover's place.

totaling sl5OOOO0oo but which may save a much
larger sum.
The savings depend upon the nature of consoli-
dations the President is authorized to make and the
manner in which the whole bill is administered
1t may be that congress will be blamed before the
year is over for having cut too much from the govern
nent budget. 1t may be accused Of having laid toe
heavy hand on the backs of government workers
taking from them in some cases as much as a third
Of their annual income.
Essential services Of the government may suffer
with resulting loss to general welfare
But the cuts have been made, and by the time the
next congress meets their wisdom can be appraised
Meantime, congress should not be accused of crime
Of which it is guess and confidence in the American
dollar and the bonds Of this government should not
be impaired by false propaganda

Peoples Voice

Editor Times-There is something
wrong in government where they
who do the most have the least.
Where honesty wears a rag and
rascality a robe.
Where politically we are bound
and gagged, industrially we are
slaves.
Where justice always is blind
folded.
Where they put a tax on malt
and send you to Jail for making
beer.
Where. for every mansion on the
hill there are thousand novels
in the valley.
Where the workingman builds
fine homes and does not live in
them, makes fine clothes and wears
overalls.
Where the warehouses are full,
while thousands are starving.
Where the ruling class always has
been the enemy of free press, free
speech, and free people.
Where we have federal and SUI
preme court judges appointed for
life, who declare laws for the bene-
fit of mankind unconstitutional.
Where the laboring man produces
riches and the capitalist gets them,
and he produces nothing, and that's
what the laboring man gets.
The Republicans freed the chattel
slaves and now are freeing the wage
slaves. Freeing them to roam
around this land of liberty and
starve, until in desperation the slave
stages a holdup or throws a brick
through store window, is caught
and sent to an overfowing prison,
where at least he has shelter and
something to eat.
The election will be held this fail
and the people are thinking for g
change. ROY F. HUBBARD.
Editor Times-Now is the time
for the legislature, at its special ses-
sion, to pass the old age pension
bill. If Mr.. Leslie vetoes it, the legis-
lature should pass the bill over his
veto. Many aged and infrm per-
sons lost their life savings and are
dependent because Of the. failure OF
banks, and many other persons are
dependent through no fault Of their
own.
Why not pension those people and
let them spend their declining years
in their own homes, where they car
retain their self-respect, instead Of
sending them to the infirmary
Awhere they are treated like a lot OF

Swat EN-

Some thirty years ago there were 100000 cases OF
typhoid fever and annual death toll of $4,000 from
that disease By 1925 the had dropped to 10000
and the deaths to $4,000.
This 300 per cent decrease is due chiefly to one
thing-the the common house fly that carries
germs to human food. Screens and the swat-the-fy
movement almost have killed this once great killer
Last week there we're 391 new cases of typhoid
fever in fortyve cities, big increase over the week
before. The reason is that it's summer time and fly
time.
