Although I fully appreciate the fact
that Representative Cochran is well pre-
pared to defend his own statements d.
rected to President Roosevelt wherein
he ayers that he favors only one lob
to o family, I am replying to Attorney
Edwtna Averyis communication d.
rected to Representative Cochran and
published In The Star August 8. be-
cause her statements dwelt mostly upon
the low-salaried Government employees,
OF which group am presently q part.
With Q number Of her points I
heartily concur when looked upon from
one point of view, but there Is another
side which must not be overlooked, and
that side she completely ignored. It Is
true-I know from experience-there Is
very little left for luxuries when the
necessities are taken out of our salaries
but I just want to remind her, which
she seemed to have forgotten, that while
we low-salaried employees do manage to
get by on our meager incomes there are
thousands. Of other families which are

ity OF the United States in pursuit Of
lawbreakers of several classes is famil-
lar. Its agents commonly work in har-
mony with State and city police. Yet
the varying jurisdictions of existing
forces sometimes lead to misunder-
standings and prevent information DOS
sessed by one force from becoming i'm
mediately available to another. DR..
Moley should be able to suggest means
to correct this. He warns the public
that he is not magician and that he
Is not hunting fugitives. System, not
personnel, enlists his attention. And
If he achieves the consolidation of
police agencies, there will still remain
the question Of how to treat the con-
v1ct best to protect society"
"The criminals can be stopped All
that is needed is the right sort of effort
and real intelligence" asserts the Gary
Post Tribune, while the Akron Beacon
Journal offers the Interpretation of the
situation: He is commissioned to erect
Federal police into sort of national
Scotland Yard, to be at the service Of
every community whose own law en-
Iorcement agencies are unable to ride
hard upon tribute taking desperadoes
OF the underworld In normal times the
local districts of the Nation might re-
sent the intrusion of Federal AUTHORITY
into their police jurisdictions. Their
experience with Federal sleuths put to
enforcing the prohibition laws inspires
no happy memories The appearance
OF some of the agents employed, and
their handy way of riding down civil
rights. shooting unoffending travellers
and terrorizing households with their
raids. brought more torment to private
citizens than to the bootlegging clan.
II may be that DR.. Moley's Scotland
Yard will hold to higher ideals and
policy, and conduct itself upon the same
disinterested plane Of service as the
Coast Guard and the efficient officials
who run down counterfeiters and vio-

Letters From Home.

II the post office served no other pur
pose than that of being link between
the homes of the land and distant dear
ones, it would be eminently worth while.
Certainly, it is important that the cor
respondence of industry and commerce
should circulate; and II is imperative
that there should be an efficient sys-
tenn of communication between the dif-
ferent branches of the Government and
their representatives, near and far. But
It would be impossible to over-estimate
the significance of that large portion
Of the average days quota OF mafl which
is of purely sentimental character. 1t
Is upon the contact which it denotes
that the spiritual entity Of the people
depends. 1t is the tie that binds.
Necessarily it happens that boys and
girls, growing to independent maturity,
remove from the immediate home en-
vironments to which they belong. In
pursuit of success they scatter over the
face of the whole wide earth. Months,
even years, pass. and they perforce re-
main away. Application to duty leaves
them no opportunity to return to their
native hearthsides, except on very rare
occasions. They become parts Of the
new scenes they have chosen, and "go-
ing home" is an experience which they
only rarely can afford. In the circum-
stances, penned symbols, written words
providentially furnish medium for the
maintenance of the old affections, the
old interests of childhood and youth.
If they may not see Mother and Father
frequently, they at least may write to
them. Their letters and the answers
they stimulate are the amalgam Of
civilization.
OF course, it is the messages from
home which are especially noteworthy.

them, but the letters from Nom. and

Reinsurance.
Each day the future brighter grows
It's clearly understood
That reward for merit goes
For trying to be good.
Likewise it's being made quite clear
That consequences grave
Inevitably must draw near
For those who won't behave.
As so the drama old we see,
Enlarged, yet much the same,
Where Virtue will rewarded be
And Vice be put to shame.
We are expectantly content
As we are sure that Sin
Is sure to find its punishment
And Righteousness will win.

While Men Hunt for Work.

The National Recovery Administra-
tion putting on burst OF speed
that leaves observers dizzy, is trying to
have every employer in the United
States subscribe to the principe OF
hiring more workers and paying more
money for hours worked. This Is TO
be done by Labor day. The theme Is
speed! speed! speed! The tagging en-
ployers will get the big stick.
If the N. R. A. has time, it might
interest itself in the following record
regarding the boarding OF local tax
money in the Treasury while men are
thrown out of work and more men are
denied the right to work:
June S.-District appropriation bill
passed by Congress, containing author
ization for expenditure Of s2,135,OO0 OF
surplus gasoline and water tax revenues
on projects ito aid in the relief OF un-
EMPLOYMENT" and to become "lmme-
diately available" when the Bureau OF
the Budget gave its approval.
June 23.-The Commissioners submit
ted to the Budget Bureau a compre-
hensive statement regarding proposed
use of the gasoline tax money, request
ing immediate permission to go ahead
with the jobs that would put some
$500 men to work.
June 27.-The Commissioners asked
the Public Works Administration for
grants totaling s22, 100000 for construc-
ton work here.
June 3o.-The Budget Bureau replied
that such expenditures shall be In aid
of relief of unemployment" and that, as
the employment program was national
in scope, it was deemed wise to walt
awhile and see what was to be done
about the national situation.
July 15-The Commissioners sent a
second appeal to the Bureau OF the
Budget to release the gasoline tax
money and to put men to work. No
reply was received to this appeal.
July 21.-The Commissioners appealed
to the Bureau of the Budget to release
half a million dollars of boarded, idle,
surplus water revenues to give 466 men
on payless turlough-work. No reply
was received from the Budget Bureau.
August Maj. Donovan, the District
auditor, submitted to Senator King, at
the Senator's request, a memorandum
explaining proposed use Of the local
funds boarded in the Treasury. saying,
with other things, that the jobs OF $50
employees of the Highway Department
depended upon some decision regarding
Use of the money Senator King ap-
pealed to the Budget Bureau for release
Of the money.
August 9.-One hundred and ten en-
ployes of the Highway Department re-
ceived notices that they will be thrown
out of work next Tuesday. More will
follow. And the number of men de-
pendent upon public charity for food
increases steadily.
August Ex-senator King places the
matter before the President, possibly
suggesting that something might be
done.
More than two months have passed
since the money was made "imme-
diately available" ito aid in the relief
of unemployment" and to carry out
necessary projects. Not man has been
given a job. Not spadeful of earth
has been turned.
