WISE WORDS

Cowards die many times be-
fore their deaths; the valiant
never taste Of death but once.
I dare do all that may
become a man; who dares do
more is none.
The most positive men are
the most credulous, since they
most believe themselves.
Embrace your reproaches;
they are often glorieS in dis
guiSe.
God made the country and
man made the town.
In the multitude Of counsel
orS there is safety.
Justice is such a fine thing
that one cannot buy it too
dearly.
The whole world is my native
land.
Envy is a kind Of praise.

Lehman Plan Must
Be Adopted

The fight in Albany over
a measure for the State con-
troll and regulation of the
manufacture and sale of
beer may be settled before
this is printed. At this mo-
ment there is doubt. The
Republicans in the assem-
bly,, really opposed to beer,
are insisting on a political
arrangement through which
they hope to profit upstate.
Such politics brought pro"
hibition; such politics can
prevent the repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment.
Governor Lehman re
minded us Of what every in.
telligent observer knows
when he said, in explaining
why prohibition came:
"The greedy traffic,
greedy to the extreme, had
gradually permitted one
vice after another, one ex-
cess after another, one
scandal after another, to
become attached to its bust
ness"
Once permit the public to
believe that a repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment is
to mean a repetition of all
this. and the twenty-first
repeating amendment will
be doomed.
The Lehman plan must be
adopted; it is decent, it is
wise, it guards against these
repetitions of "one vice
after another, one excess
after another, one scandal
after another.
The people want beer,
and they are not interested
in breweries otherwise, and
not interested in politicians
at all.

been done for the farmers
to give them even a China
mans chance ever to get
on their feet and back into
the purchasing class.
Farm mortgages alone to
the amount Of $500, 100000
rest on the farms. To this
other debts of the farmers,
amounting to $780, 100000,
must be added.
This means an indebted
ness of $12,OOO,O ,0O0-one
billion more than the debts
owed the United States by
the debtor nations.
To pay the interest on
these debts the farmers must
pay almost a billion dollars
a year when they are un-
able, under existing condi-
tions, to sell their products
at the cost Of production.
This, in my opinion, is the
primary tragedy in the
American scene.

THE reaction Of the Amer
i lean people to Presi-
dent Roosevelt's courageous
act in slashing at the roots
of the prohibitive cost Of
government and letting the
chips fall where they may
has been one Of admiration
and cooperation. Many
years ago a statesman made
his name immortal with the
really commonplace observa-
ton that "the way to re-
sumo is to resume. The
way to cut government costs
is to cut them, and there
is no other way. Everyone
clamored for the cuts; but
those who are cut wanted
the cuts to fall on their
neighbors and not on them
selves. The cuts are falling
on everyone, just as in pri-
vate business.
Because there are groups
of political potentiality ar
rayed against some of the
savings effected, it required
an act of courage, amount
ing almost to heroism, in
the President. I have been
thinking over heroic acts of
former Presidents and I am
unable to cite one that ap-
proaches that of the present
Executive last week. Long
ago the average man de-
SPARED of actual economies
in government because Of
the proverbial timidity of
politicians in opposing the
wishes of organized minori-
ties and groups. Nothing
could be expected of Presi-
dents thinking more Of the
polls than the Presidency,
and most of us despaired of
finding a President who
would, if necessary, lose him
self in thinking of his
country.
The act of the President
last week in reducing gov
ernmental cost to the tune
of $4OO,OOO,O will 60 down
in history as one Of the
most heroic and statesman
like we have ever known.

We must help the rail-

their securities are held by

From two to three billions
will be required and the
bonds will carry the inter-
est rate Of not more than
AZ per cent.
These bonds will be ex-
changed for farm mortgages.
It means a tremendous
saving to the farmers that
will give them a chance to
meet their obligations, and
it operates to the advantage
Of the mortgage holders.
These cannot collect as mat

small, cheap politics, and
the result so often is small,
cheap acts. That is the
reason that a political
leader with vision and cour-
age, who stakes something
personally in serving his
country by an act of au-
dacity, is usually found to
have played the part Of a
consummate politician. The
country always reacts favor
ably to courage. In days of
crisis, especially, a timid
leader pulled and hauled by
conflicting elements and
emotions is worse than
worthless.
The wisest politics always
is for men in power to meet
their duties unflinchingly
because they are duties, and
without calculating the ef-
feet on their personal for
tunes; for if the public men
take care Of their duties, the
people will take care of
them.

NEW YORK, August 31.-The New
York County grand jury recommended
yesterday that the State attorney general
Investigate charges it has heard con-
cerning an alleged link between police,
politicians and racketeers.
On its own initiative and without
participation of the district attorney,
the county grand jury heard testimony
of United States Attorney George z.
Medalie and Chief Justice Frederic
Kernochan of the Court of Special Ses-
sions.
Their testimony was an elaboration
of statements made by Medalie and
Kernochan before recent hearing of
a Senate subcommittee which was in
vestigating rackets.
Medalie said he knew at least four
politicians who were linked with
racketeers and Kernochan told Of re-
ports that politicians used gangsters as
Strong-arm men during elections and
In return protected them at other times.
Today the grand jury decided that
If the conditions described do actually
exist, a Statewide agency should be
the medium of investigation.
1t therefore recommended that the
attorney general, under the broad pow
erS conferred by the antl-racKeC Dill
signed yesterday by Gov. Lehman, in
yestigate the charges.
