" Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes fippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

concilables - those pompous gents
just few months ago were pleading
for anything in the world to help
them out of their economic sickness.
Now that they think America is on
the road back they begin to strut
once more.
Funny, how sick these gents were
just few weeks ago, and how well
they think they are today.
When the devil was sick he was
doggoned sick, and when he began to
get well--oh, well, what devil of
a monk is he!
Today the land reverberates with
the righteous wrath Of these erst-
while sick ones, telling all and sun
dry how terrible is this medicine
which has saved them!
Comes now Col. Mccormick, of the
Chicago Tribune, which nobody ever
really heralded as progressive; comes
now William R. Hearst, who is for
Hearst first, last and tomorrow; comes
now Congressman James M. Beck,
who thinks to scare us because he has
been called "a great constitutional
lawyer" whatever that is; comes now
All Smith, once the peerless leader
but lately the loose-tongued scold-
these and others, telling us show hor-
rendous is NRA.
It's all very interesting. It's also
amusing to observe the yowlings OF
these opponents of the medicine they
sought so eagerly so recently.
And it is interesting to observe the
foot tracks of the National Associa.
tion of Manufacturers as they mean
der in and out of the scheming tt
put the rollers under NRA. Do they
think, perchance, they are unob
served?
The bald truth seems to be that tn,
days of clear sailing are over-th
profit takers and their spokesmen ant
those who can be dubbed into lin
are on the warpath. They think tn
time has come to let loose the thun
derbolts of opposition.
How come that judgment can be s.
bad is one of those funny mysterie
of life that await the answer of SOM
| future day, or the wisdom of som
oracle. For it is bad judgment. Tn
American people are for NRA be
cause they know of nothing else t.
put in it's place as means of saving
| America from destruction.
Those who come with brickbat
should hunt something better befor
they step forth to deal death to tn
one hope of the day.
But there are, as had been said be
fore, always those who will not learn

The whole scheme has its faults
some of them of good size.
Gen. Johnson has his faults. Som
of the deputies ought to be sent home
But faults in detail are no basis fo
condemnation of the whole grea
plan.
Men are going back to work. Live
are being saved. Wages are beini
raised and hours are being reduced
That may mean little to Wall street
ers and their errand boys, but it mean
everything to workers.
1t man mean othing to Wiggin-
gosh, what a sight!-but it mean
everything to the workers who gre
jobs.
1t may mean nothing to Wiggin-
but it means everything to that grea
multitude which so recently though
AL was the candy kid.
NRA is going to live just as loni
as it is the nations best bet TO
recovery, and it would be better serv
ice if critics kept their silences jus
little longer. What time to ge
high horse and what a time to g
sharp shooting! What a time!
