N THESE days OF automobiles and airplanes
walking seems rather slow to most people
YET man still can make money at it if pos
seSsed Of sufficient speed and endurance.
Dan OLeary, who died in Los Angeles re-
| Gently at the ripe old age of 80, did little but
walk during his mature life. He is said to
! nave covered more than 100000 miles on foot,
nearly half of it in races or exhibitions.
Few automobile, motorcycle, or airplane
owners ever will see as much of the world as
did Mr.. OLeary, and those few will not see it
| so thoroughly or Understandings.
The man who walks, even at high speed,
has time to look. Better still, he has time to
! think.
Walking was the first mode of transportation
and it will probably be the last. Men were built
for it, which means that they can not abandon
it without sacrificing something of great value
Unless psychologists are all wrong, mental
vgor and bodily health go together, and walk
ing is an easy way to preserve the latter
WTALKERs usually live long, which is not
w true of all athletes Walking represents
steadineSs rather than strain. Besides as most
walkers testify, it stimulates interest in life
Men and women who can walk never are at
q loss for means of getting somewhere. They
can go even if the car is in the shop or the price
of railroad ticket is lacking
They can take paths and short cuts closed to
mechanical vehicles, thus enjoying scenes which
are beyond the reach of those in apparently
better circumstances.
The concrete road and steel track have their
disadvantages. and these disadvantages go much
deeper than the obvious physical limitation.
People who travel in rutS, think in ruts losing
that heXbility of mind which is an important
factor Of true intelligence. They become afraid
OF getting of the beaten path, cease to pioneer
or adventure, even in a small way and eventually
settle down to routine narrowing existence
Walking has a definite connection with char
acter. It develops a certain feeling of indenen-
dence and creates an interest in those things
which require personal observation to under
stand.
THE man who walks to and from work knows
Il great deal more about his neighborhood
than the man who uses an automobile
This country was explored largely and laid
out by walkers Trails that have become great
highways originally were blazed by men on
loot. The spirit and self-aSsurance back of it
all are chiefly responsible for the more vital
elements of our civilization.
The fast vehicles we have developed serve an
excellent purpose, but like everything else they
can be ali .Sed.
Civiliz. don must not enslave itself to its
own creatures or pursue the theory that prog
reSs is a matter OF substitution, when it is a
matter Of Improvement.
The human body is not only the finest, but
the most essential, machine known to man.
Whatever else happens, nothing must be al
| lowed TO interfere with those habits and Gus
toms necessary to its care and preservation.

A MOTHER three men killed in
N the Indianapolis motor race.
The public has come to regard
these smashups as mere matter of
course. The crowds, as pictured by
the news reels and explained by the
press stories, are as avid for these
dangerous thrills as the Romans
were for their no more CORY spec
tacles.
And Of all the ruthless, senseless
waste of human life The utter
stupidity Of such useless foolhardi-
ness! Although we have speed laws
that prevent any ones doing more
than sixty miles on an open high
way, We keep building racers that
will do 10 or more. Just for the
fun of seeing accidents, one pre-

4 bic makers tend to cast dis
credit upon the fair name Of the

spreading their propaganda for pre-

Not only has Dr. Robinson given
countenance and official sanction
to these agitpoops, but their very
presence has moved him into strange
manifestations Of personal warlike

He has forgotten the duties and
the dignity OF his position and taken

Upon the last occasion Of presi-

DR.. Robinson was not IN full regi-

THE GOVERNMENT AS EDUCATOR


CENATOR CARTER GLASS is one of the
~ scholars Of the senate. It is, therefore
all the more surprising that he should insist
upon viewing the senate in the guise of a po-
lice court and resenting its assumption of the
role of national educational institution
Mr. Glass holds that the senate is wasting
its time because Mr.. Morgan has not been,
and probably will not be, proved an overt
criminal Unless it can get the results ex-
pected by a police magistrate the investigat-
ing committee should, presumably, close its
elaboration.
1t does not seem to have occurred to Sena-
tor Glass that the senate has in its power to
give the people of the United States the most
cogent and relevant bit Of education in eco
Monies which it ever has received from the
national capital.
This is the real significance of the Morgan
Investigation. as it is also of the trial of
Charles Mitchell Whether some prominent
banker entrains for Atlanta in the company
of a United States marshal is of far less fun
damental import than the possibility of giving
the American people decisive impression of
the menacing character Of an economic Sys-
TEN dominated by finance, capitalism, and
speculative cupidity.
The dominion OF speculative finance was
the core OF the old DEAF which threw us to
the dogs 1t is the primary obstacle to the
realization OF new deal" which possesses
any promise Of adequacy and permanence.
The question at issue is whether the United
States will be governed from the White House
or from % Wall street.
If Mr.. Roosevelt actually is supporting the
investigation Of the financial barons, this
shows that he is a realist on whom we may
pin some substantial hope.

Starvation PGy

1T is amusing to read the Pc
Il riodical outburSts of William
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor.
Last week he warned the Ameri-
can people of starvation wages
paid by some manufacturers and
business houses Of the country.
Friday he summoned labor leaders
to meet in Washington next Tues
day to see that labor received its
share of wage adjustments and
hours Of labor.

international labor organization

furloughed, due to the depression,
and of course 1 am in position
to know that some Of the girls
and also some of the married men
with families are paid a wage
that hardly enables them to buy
the bare necessities of life, let
alone receive a living wage.
1t only goes to show how sim
cere the sO-called labor leaders are,
and to my way of thinking, the
less attention the President and
congress pay to these four flush
ers, the better off the country
will be.

Tardie1u Urging
French Reforms
BY SAMUEL DASHlELL
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
PARIS, April 18.-(UP).-An-
DIRE Tardieu, who recently inaug-
urated a vigorous campaign OF
constitutional reform in France,
has continued his agitation.
Tardieu asserts that the re-
publican form of government will
see its doom unless immediate re-
forms are instituted, which give
more power to the executive and
less to the legislative bodies.
Prior to the World war. Tar
dieu points out, many alluded to
the fact that republics through
out the world were in the ascend
ancy and monarchies and oligar-
chies on the decrease. Since the
World war, Tardieu observes, the
exact opposite prevails. The re-
publics on four continents have
failed in their mission, and al
though they still function, their
stimulus comes from virtual die
tatorship and curtailment of the
legislative authority.
Tardieu asserts that events have
shown that parliamentary sover-
eifnty is a mere parady of its
original purpose. which was pub
lie sovereignty. The suppression
of the executive power is the dl-
rect cause of the rise of dictator
ships, Tardieu asserts.
According to Tardieu, the chief
of the government in France sits
helplessly on his parliamentary
bench as we'll as in his private
office, while the two branches OF

ELUSIVE TROUT
Creeks in Pennsylvania Co.
Draw Scores As The
i. Season Opens

BREVARD. Apr. IS. Especially
Despite the warning carried in
the old mountain ballad, "Ain't it
shame to go fshin' on Sunday"
anglers galore were whipping the
many trout streams Of Transyl-
vania county with he rising sun
here Sunday morning.
Cars bearing khaki colored par
ties were checked in the county
from many sections of North and
South Carolina with two from
Georgia adding to the gang of
those who seek no greater pleas
ure than that of delicate cast

ing of the turbulent waters and
glistening of the most beautiful
of all fish, the rainbow trout, as
he leaps in the first great strug-
gle to free himself from the snare
which he has forgotten since last
season.
In the French Broad, Little
river, Davidson, Horepasture, and
the numerous smaller creeks that
make Pennsylvania county the
outstanding trout section of the
mountains, Easter Sunday was
celebrated in a way that only fish
ermen enjoy.
Sunday fishing was banned in
Pennsylvania county for many
years, it being against popular
opinion and incidentally against
local laws to fish on the Sabbath.
However. "bootlegging" fish was
practiced to such an extent that
a bill was passed several years
ago allowing those people who
wished to be law-abiding and al
the same time enjoy fishing, to
take part in the sport on that
day.
