Planning Needed
Who Will Handle the Marchers?

Although almost year has passed since the District was
first visited by organized protesting marchers and although
the cy is again threatened with demonstrations no
has made toward properly handling these de-
preston phenomena.
The people of Washington and the orderly conduct of gov
ernmen require that somewhere someone be found VINO Will
take the initiative planning for the handling Of the large
groups which already preparing here this winter
There is no blinking the fact that they are coming
There is hope that they can be deferred
Therefore the logical thing to do to lay plans which Will
protect the rights the people of the city and at the same
time treat who waste their time in these futile marches
with all proper humanity.
Primarily it is function for the Federal authorities
But the instance that of the bonus march, in which the
Federal Government moved does not speak well Tor the
humanity of its methods.
Te ctv government so far as is known nothing
toward handling problem except adopt absurd ord
nance designed to bar groups from petoning Congress
That regulation OF doubtful egay ana OF no practca
benefit in the situation.
It will not keep those people out Of the city It might be
used to put them in aiif had large enough jail and
large enough police force to arrest thousands OF men and
women at time.
General Gassford, before he forced by humiatng
conditions resign chief Of police urged that proper steps
be taken.
His recommendations have failed to bear fruit.
The need for relief among people is acute. Wei
fare agencies do than take of the unortu
nate already among
It is absurd to think that they could for day
two provide food and shelter for those who will come here
to lay their troubles before Federal bodies.
This threat Of marching thousands is real
is the most pressing problem which confronts the au
thorities.
It which requires decacy and ability in handling
is not to result in distress to the people Of the city and
disaster to those joining the march
What does the District Government propose to do?
And important what does the Federal Government
propose to do?

They have too much pride to
apply to county institutions for
housing and food.
In fact, such places are
crowded with those whose rela-

and the law stipulates that rela-
tiVes must provide homes for
their kin where able to do so.
If you have relatives in your
home don't make his or her
stay unhappy by showing dis.
pleasure ~at existing circum-
stances.

you should be grateful for the
fact that you have a home and

WISE WORDS

He that peeps in at his neigh
bor's window may chance to
lose his eyes.
We are all prisoners and SEN
fenced to death.
Out of debt out of danger.
He who rides behind another
does not travel when he pleases.
Every path hath its puddle.
None are perfectly happy but
philosophers, children and fools.
Who hastens too much often
remains behind.
They only are wise who know
that they know Nottingham

A thief knows a thief as a
wolf knows wolf.
Innocence, like an icicle, once
melted is gone forever.

God the intention.-Byron.

"I envy people who have
courage like that"
"I guess I'll just have to go on

Sounds familiar, doesn't it?
So often you've said such
things yourself, sobbing and
cropping in a gray fog of bewil-

was all about.
Yet, now that you see those

very different, don't they? The
story is so plain! You can see
quite readily what it's all about.

all; too lazy to build a char
acter for herself; and she's
excusing it by a lot Of SELF
pity"
Yes, it's quite plain what ails
this woman. You can see 1t
in a glance, as you read her
letter. And if she'd only fol-
low your advice, her affairs
would be fixed up in no time
at all. That's what you're
thinking, isn't it?

Helping Relatives

It may be necessary for some

of appealing to another for aid

record Of any member of
the Senate. He could make
a fortune in his profession
in a short time, but he pre-
fers the public serTice-at a
heavy monetary loss. With
in a year of his entrance
to the Senate he had won
the admiration, affection,
condolences of his colleagues
on both sides the chamber.
Within two years thinkers
from coast to coast had
hailed his as a constructive
mind. He is one of the few
public men who appears to
have grasp on the mean
ing of the times. And no
member of the Senate has
taken his duties more seri-
ously, has applied himself
with the aid of experts more
intensively, or given himself
more unstintingly.
Whatever has been done
for the 100000 jobless
men is due to him. He had
to fight the Hoover admins
tration three years to accom-
plish anything. And through
out these dark years he has
never once given utterance
to a word Of demagogy. Nor
wasted a moment s time in
mere partisan wrangling.

says that if such rare service
