fruitage. To one who finds lifes values
only in worldly acquisition, suicide is
a logical thing when fortunes fade

Suicide has been rightly said to be

A WISE UNDERTAKING

Harry L. Hopkins, federal emergency
relief director, announced Friday thai
the federal government will soon begin
corraling every transient unemployed
person, professional and amateur, and
will place them in concentration CEN
tiers. These men, commonly known as
tramps, will be picked up by city of
ficials and turned over to federal au-
thorities.
Under this plan, cities and towns will
be relieved of the support of the wan
derers, which will be welcome re-
lief, especially to the larger cities where
the floaters congregate during the win
ter.
about rs per cent of the hundreds OF
thousands of transients on the road at
present are recent victims of the de-
preston, as distinguished from hoboes
of long standing" said Hopkins.
In these concentration camps, the me1
will be given a new chance in life, ii
is said Schools will be established and
the men will be educated by white
collar workers of whom thousands
have become transients in recent years
In those ranks can be found doctors
and lawyers and university graduates,
ii is said
This has the earmarks of a wise un-
dertaking. 1t is a partial solution-for
the present-of a difficult problem We
shall watch its working ott with much
interest.

SHOULD KEEP UP NAVY STRENGTH

In his address before the Libby Lions
club Monday night, Lieutenant Joe
Berkeley Of the Z. S. navy. mentioned
in passing that the enlisted officers and
men of the navy number only about
rs per cent Of requirements. He re-
marked that it was extremely difficult
to maintain the navy at a high stan
dard of efficiency with the personnel
SO greatly reduced
No one disputes that it is necessary
to cut all expenditures to the bone at
such times as the present And the
navy, naturally, must take its share of
the cutting. But we believe it wise
craftsmanship to watch with extreme
care reduction of navy funds lest that
arm OF our fighting forces be unduly
weakened 1t has been wisely said that
the navy is our first line of defense.
Considering the present temper of the
world, it would be extremely unwise
to be too niggardly with our navy.
Disarmament of the nations is much to
be desired 1t is a fine ideal toward
which to work But in the meantime
with wars and rumors of wars and
grabbed tempers throughout the world
President Roosevelt takes the proper
stand when he plans to build our navy
up to full treaty strength.
