AK Dull When Striking Military
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

lege. Every dollar 50 spent would return thousands of dollars in di- vidends to the glory of the United States and It's people," c. M. T. c. men would be bulwark against communism and "other radical isms"
 Tho unsettled condition of the world called for adequate prepar- edness. Boys must be prepared to fight when war was declared: they would be less likely to be killed. Republican Leader Bert Shell led the protest. Mrs Rogers of Massa- chusetts said preparedness was the best economy. So s2,500 was voted for the c. M. T. c.
 And so another little economy went blooey with an added infer- ence that we will keep on spending $700, ,000 1000 Q year for the army and navy until we can persuade other nations to cut down their preparedness when we do.
 On the same day one observed tho irrepressible Congressman Mo. Fadden of Pennsylvania make his latest attempt to impeach Prosi- dent Hoover. The time grows short and if Louis McFadden doesn't show more speed, MT Hoover is likely to leave office of his own free will.
 On this occasion republicans be- labored Louis with so many parlia- mentary Interruptions that he gave up in tho middle of his speech be- cause he could get in hardly Q word. In his last previous attempt he had read an impeachment reso- lution of $500 words containing S2 wherases by actual count, so per- haps' not much was lost. Naturally, you wonder what will be most on McFadden's mind after March 4.

night have been consid erably less

might have been considerably less sordid.
 It is likely enough that in this congress attempts to prune en- forcement of any of It's intolerable indecencies may fail. To subject a great moral force to a mere neces- sity like economy Is something that the friends of virtue in the senate may be unable to stomach. And there Is another "dirty business" to end. Last week the subcommittee of the house judiciary committee reported to 1t favorably MT Celler's bill repeating the medical restric- tions of the Volstead act. Old Dr Congress still regulates the medical profession and prescribcs its pre- scriptions in the matter of alcohol. What Is the preservation of health or life compared with the prescrva- tion of the sincere milk of fanati- cism?
 Presumably. this congress will leave to its successor the duty of restoring to physicians their grossly invaded rights.

Growing Up

Writing in the Chicago Daily News
 Howard Vincent O'Bren complains that "the modern boy is conducting fraternity limitations at an age when his ancestors were commanding ships and leading armies" But he is not disposed to blame the boys :. for their prolonged infancy. He seems to think it is the grown-ups fault that the boys don't grow up faster. He tells of university gathering where the local grad mates were giving luncheon for alumni and their sons. Two undergraduates spoke.

"DIRTY BUSINESS"
(New York Times)

Only by a close vote did the house adopt the amendment to the department of justice supply bill. forbidding the use by the prohibi- ton bureau of what Mir Justice Holmes called "the dirty business of wire-tapping. By more than 2 to 1t approved the amendment shutting off prohibition agents from their wonted supplies of H. auor bought as "evidence" and in- terdicting the use of paid inform CTS. The agent provocateur and the informer stand high in the loathsome company that prohibi- ton has enlisted. If the general run of prohibitionists were as per. vious to notorious facts as Mir Tar. yer, the Georgia dry who offered the amendment, the history of the experiment noble in motive'

Those who have been suffering from the January jtters will welcome the end of the first month of the year known in Latin as Januarius from Janus, an old Latin deity, the god of the sun and the year, and the be- ginning of February, that short and snappy month that derives also from the Latin Februarius signifying the month of ex- piation.

GARNET MAKING (surin0field RepubIican)

Recent reports that Franklin
 Roosevelt was cndeavorlng to "bai- ance" his cabinet and make it ap-
 peal to different clements by select ing conservatives as well as radi- calsfi indicate that he is only doing what every other President has done. The question is how well he 'does 1t. As for Mir R0osevelt's pro- testation that he has yet made no offer of a cabinet position to any one, it is doubtless technically and literally true, if he says so.
