What is the matter with the po-
lice? I just had pulled around a
corner in front of my house and had
blown the horn for my waiting wife,
but police car No. 90 beat her there
and pulled me from my car and told
me was under arrest and searched
me. They got only one can of Prince
Albert and we're not very courteous,
which was very embarrassing to me.

sey's slapstick! Returning to your
fair city from the motor speedway,
where was impressed not only with
the fine track, but the splendid work
of the police and guards who han
died the traffic, I was disappointed
greatly and astonished with the dis
play of brutality on the part of sew
eral policemen-not merely officers
but sergeants.
Attracted by the screeching of 81
rens and the roar of enough police
cars to capture all the bank bandits
in the country, gathered with a
crowd Of people interested in the
same bit of excitement as I. The
police were holding an enraged man
at the police box by the means of
chain nippers-one policeman on
each arm, and surrounded by dozens
of others.
I am not sure just what the man
was charged with, but he surely was
either crazy, drunk, or both.
Slightly put-out" by the prisoners
kicking and jerking, and perhaps
profanity, one of the sergeants
whipped out blackjack, struck the
man on the head, tearing his skull
open, and then starting beating his
face with his fists.
1t was not a case of self defense,
because the sergeant and the man
were surrounded by half the Indi-
annapolis police force. Only after he
was booed and heckled by the on
lockers did he cease his malicious
treatment.
This officer of your fine force we'll
could afford to pretend bravery
with his. prisoners hands chained
so tightly that his wrists were blue,
and the squad of help he had.
Both the prisoner and the crowd
was helpless, because any one who
interfered with such treatment
probably would have received the
same.

Rugged H1diUidltalS

THE thing that surprises me
IL most is the plain revelation that
neither Mr.. Morgan nor any of his
partners is quite bright. Here and
there the firms conduct is dis
tinguished by a sort of native
shreWdness, but there is a complete
lack of imagination.
Nobody in the organization seems
to have had the slightest conception
of the amount of i'll will they were
carrying on their books.
Specifically the preferred list may
we'll have proved tWo-edged folly
In the first place, there has been the
well-justified criticism of the "op-
portunities' conferred upon men IN
public life, to which is added the
sequel that the worst way to curry
favor with a politician is to let him
in at 81 on a stock which later
tumbles down to 2.
1t is as if some tOadying scholar
should hand his teacher a bunch Of
sweet violets all garnished with
singing nettles.
And nobody in the House of Nor
gan had the gumption to see the
storm clouds and to lay in UNI
brellaS for the deluge Not one sin
gle constructive suggestion for reform
has come at any time from any Of
the partners.
When the system Of private capital
goes completely blooey, historians
probably will record the fact that it
fell largely from it's own topheavi-
ness. But they hardly can neglect
the fact that it was sped upon its
way by the arrant stupidity of those
who found themselves in the posses
sion of great wealth. I refer to those
sometimes called the trustees of our
modern civilization

OUR UNEVEN BIRTH RATE


the cities than in the country, but city folk
are producing too few children and country
folk are producing too many.
So, at any rate, says Frederick Osborn,
trustee of the American Museum of Natural
History, in a recent address before the Ameri-
can Eugenics society.
The families with best minds, Mr.. Osborn
asserts, are not bearing enough children to
maintain present population levels. The short
age is made up by families farther down the
scale
1t is doubtful, however if all this will create
very much uneasiness. To begin with-con-
sidering the enormous percentage of our lead
ers in business, politics, and the arts who came
originally from rural distrcts-many people
will not agree that city intelligence really ranks
above that of the country.
Furthermore, the best people" always have
borne fewer children than their less gifted
brothers and sisters; and, so far the world
has managed to get along pretty well in spite
of this tendency.

Attacks Repeal

NTE have the law on our side.
w Let's keep it and vote against

State control will lead to hostility

An Idle Day
BY OLIVE ENsLEN-TINDER

BY OLIVE ENSLEN- TINDER
The world is weary fastening IN its
way,
Bearing its heavy load Forget it!
Find some grassy place to stay.
And spend a restful hour and sing
The years may be many before you
yet.
Perhaps two-score or three.
Then, if, too soon, your sun should
set
You'd bless the day you sang an
ode
Beneath some kindly shading tree.
So, when the gods give you an idle
day,
Take it, watch the world go by
And dream; then live these dreams
And see the things you'll do
Before your cup runs dry.

six on the Family Medicine Chest
A MONG materials to be included
L n in the family medicine chest
are cosmetics.
Most modern women prefer to
keep their cosmetics in their own
boudoirS, but the man of the house
is very likely to put his in the family
medicine cabinet.
They should include, in most in
stances, a razor, which should be
kept in its box and not permitted
to lie around loosely; also some
shaving soap or cream some face
lotion, which may be either witch
hazel or special lotion which he
prefers.
1t is not advisable to use a styptic
in the form of a stick of alum to
stop slight bleeding points after
shaving.
Much better are any of the
astringent surgical powders, of
which small amount may be taken
from the box on each occasion and

It Seems
to Me
by HAYWOOD BRoUN

NEW YORK. June 5.-A frieno
L y OF mine telegraphS. Your at
tack on Carter Glass was the rAost
shameful thing you ever have witt
ten. Don't you know that Glass in
1929 was almost the only one to pro-
test against the banks share in The
speculative orgy? Don't you know
that he has been fighting to IL
death TO enact his law hobbling the
Morgan and other private banks?"
Yes. do know, and it makes the
strange case of Carter Glass all the
stranger. Anybody who is at an
familiar with American politics
knows that Senator Glass possesses
a high degree of personal integ-
rity and that he has the courage
and the capacity for independent
thinking
Yet Senator Glass almost wrecked
the investigation. And I am afraid
that his obstructioniSt tactics We're
based on almost the worst possible
motives. I readily will grant that
the veteran senator from Virginia
Is not a partisan or a beneficiary
OF the House of Morgan. But he
is an arch and passionate pre-
sever Of the ego of Carter Glass.
FrGctiOuSHcss of Glass
ITO put it bluntly. he was jealous
Il of Ferdinand Pecora. The
senator recognizes only one brain
trust. and he is the president. The
secretary, and the chairman of the
committee on admissions. The last
post is a sineCure, for nobody has
ever been elected to ioin the soil
tary founding member in his glOry.
In the eyes of Carter Glass an tai
ian lawyer from New York was a
plain poacher on the ancestral pre-
serves.
The senator has objected on sey-
eral occasions to what he termed
the aimleSsneSS of the inquiry con-
Quoted by the committees counsel.
Seemingly the senator and several
others are under the impression that
Mr.. PeCOra is cast in the role of a
visiting economist who should fur

for private banking.
That, of course, IS wholly outside,
the lawyers function. It is Nh.
PecoraS job to bring out facts for
the committee, for congress and for
the public. After that, congress
may and should legislate as it sees
fit.
I even have seen complaints di-
rected at Mr. Pecora because of
newspaper headlines dealing with
the findings in Washington He is
accused of being sensational But,
in all fairness to Ferdinand Pecora,
he neither wrote those headlines nor
manufactured the facts.
Carter Glass has asserted that lhee
entire proceedings was circus
which brought forth nothing new.
Mr.. Glass, as newspaper man
himself, should know better than
that. The headlines themselves
show that all the editors of America
regard the facts spread on the rec
ord through Mr. Pecora's investiga-
ton as decidedly new. vastly vital
and of paramount public impor-
lance.
1 think he deserves great credit
for forcing a true publicity bath in
stead Of merely washing behind the
ears.

just issued by the National Shaw

The bank states that the better
sentiment of last summer has

to future Governmental action

tions and special legislation.
Production, distribution. en-
ployment and other indices
showed a decline for New Eng
land in December, as they did in
November, anG this after cue con-
sideration to seasonal activity.
While the decline in the produc-
ton index was due for the most
part to reduced operations in
textile and leather, the bank
points out that textiles were more
active in December than in June,
or in December, 1881.
During December, the hank re-
cords, there were decreases in
employment. building contracts,
