BY Harlow Lindley,
Curator of History Ohio state Museum.
Dear Governor McNutt--I have
hesitated somewhat about writing
this letter, but since I am a native
of Indiana and have spent all my
life except the last five years in the
state and still have property inter-
ests there, I feel perfectly free in
writing to you.
During the last thirty years of my
life in Indiana was engaged active
ly in various phases of library work
as we'll as college work. I was
graduated from college the year the
state library Of Indiana was taken
out of politics and put upon pro-
fessional basis; for the period from
1907 until 1928 I held a part-tim
position on the staff of the Indiana
state library as director of the de-
partment of history.
When the Indiana historical COM
mission was created in 1915 by Gov
ernor Ralston, I was made its sec
rotary and served in this capacity
until 1923, when I accepted for a
year the dictatorship of the COM
mission now known as the Indiana
historical bureau.

nection with these two educational
interests of the state of Indiana l
occupied a position so that I know
there was not a particle of political
influence brought to bear upon the
work.
I do know that at times some
effort was made to make certain in
roads upon the work of the state
library, but it was without enough
influence to accomplish anything.
AS a result of this sort of adj
ministrative policy the Indiana
state library, with its crowded
quarters and limited appropriations,
has grown to be recognized as one
of the most professional and
efficient among the state library
organizations in the United States.
Very naturally was interested in
following the legislation of the last
general assembly, and 1 found a
number of my Ohio friends were in

told them that we all probably
realized that the general organiza-

ticularly our county and township
governments, was quite Anticipated
and needed thorough business-like
reorganization, and that I would
look to Indiana with a great deal of
interest, feeling that if the plan
there adopted was handled efficient
ly and successfully, it would mean
much to the future of efficient gov

A Woman's Viewpoint i:

TRAINING from parenthood,
L says a social service worker, is
the greatest task now before
America
1t would be futile, and perhaps
foolish, to deny the statement. But
if we are asked to accept the belief
that such training involves only a
few formulas and a comprehension
of the rules of psychology then We
can not agree.
The first step in decent parent
hood is to set up a decent social sys-
tenn in which our children may live.
A sound economic plan, an equitable
distribution of goods, security from
the ever-present threat Of starvation
and humiliation in war-this is the
primary consideration.
Only in this way can the individual
apply himself to the responsibility
of parenthood. The man who strug-
giles all his life to earn a few crusts

Many Things Change

THREE months ago congress was,
Il frightened sufficiently to cut
out the pension graft Now that
there is a glimmer upon the hor-
lion, congress wants to put it back
again. The most discouraging thing
is the conduct of the Farmer-Labor-
ties and other so-called radicals in
the house and senate.
For the tenth or twelfth time in
as many years it is shown again
that the vision of these men does
not extend beyond the price of
wheat At 70 cents bushel. every
man jack of them has slowed down
to a walk, and by the time wheat
touches a dollar they all have be-
come Rotarian Republicans.
1t is true that President Roosevelt
supplied the original motive power
for certain measures which actually
had in them some element of fun
damental change. In spite OF the
Slackening Of the program, I still
think that Franklin D. Roosevelt is
the one best bet in the present adj
miniStration.

THE SUICIDE PROBLEM

DR. FREDERICK L. HOFFMAN, world
~ famous statistician, gives some inter-
esting figures regarding suicide, in the cur
rent issue of The Spectator He is care
full however when it comes to drawing hard
and fast conclusions.
AS every one expected, suicide showed an
increase last year, but strangely enough the
rate in Chicago fell off. Why this should be
so is a mystery According to all reports,
Chicago has suffered quite as much from de-
preston as any great American CITY, if not
more. What peculiar influence persuaded
Chicagoans to take a more hopeful view of
life?
BY the same token, what peculiar inf1u-
ence causes people on the Pacific coast to
destroy themselves in greater numbers than
the people of any other section?
For years Pacific coast states have led the
nation in suicide, just as southern states have
led the nation in murder.
One can not help wondering how much of
a part custom, fad and prejudice play in
determining the record.
Of the $4,000 who took their own lives in
this country in 1882 how many actually were
driven to it by want?
No doubt the condition of ones stomach
has profound bearing on ones attitude to-
ward life, but so have pride, disappointment,
hate, and, above all else, the tendency to
initiate
A lot of people have jumped from high
windows or turned on the gas for purely child
ish reasons. What is even more puzzling,
lot of people have done likewise for reasons
too obscure to be discovered.
Suicide is essentially an individual affair
The person contemplating it has no one to
consider but himself or herself, and, as a gen.
eral proposition, consults no one. Case after
case comes to closest relativeseand friends as
a complete surprise. On the other hand,
many who intimate the possibility of suicide
or even threaten to commit it, fail to carry
out their plans
The secretive nature of self-destruction
makes it very hard not only to explain the
cause but to provide remedy.
DR. Hoffman suggests "a consulting Office"
to give advice to would-be suicides in every
large city, That might help, but most would
be suicides keep their thoughts to themselves.
One of their characteristics is a stubborn re-
fusal to seek or take advice.
They are primarily selfish and aloof, espe-
cially with regard to their intimate emotions.
People who talk about their troubles frankly
and intelligently seldom commit suicide first,
because trouble usually shrinks when exposed
to daylight; second, because thoughts of self
destruction are not compatible with candor
and open mindedness
The best remedy for the suicidal and other
anti-social completes seems to be to teach
children to avoid the pernicious habit of being
secretive, particularly about their difficulties
and disappontments.
Living alone with ones thoughts is not
only a dangerous habit, but one that can be
cultivated. Young people should be trained to
avoid it.
Mental health, whether from an individual
or social standpoint rests largely on normal
exchange of ideas.

RECOVERY

MO one thing will pull! US out of this
depression But insofar as one thing can
help. we believe the Roosevelt industrial
recovery bill is the most effective prosperity
move to date.
It strikes at the root evil, which is the lack
Of purchasing power
If the mass market continues TO dry up, few
companies in the country can escape bank
ruptcy Every one-from the banker and big
industrialist and merchant down to the
humbest workers. dependent upon the con-
sumers market, which gives business to fac
tories and farms and jobs TO labor
The absence of a market, which is starving
industry today, often is described as lack of
consumers demand People won't buy" 1t
is, rather, lack Of purchasing power. People
can THt buy. This is due not only to wholesale
unemployment, but also to repeated wage cuts
of those lucky enough to have work.
The only way to revive the mass market is
by larger pay rolls. Even imitation will not
help unless the money can be put into circula-
ton, into the pockets of the rank and file to
spend
After these years Of misery, most business
leaders at last understand this basic fact, that
American business geared to mass production
can not survive unless it shares with labor, in
the form of steady and high wages, enough for
the people to buy back what they produce
But the business leaders who understand
this fact and who would act upon it, are
powerless because of the unfair competition of
a minority of employers who run sweated
industries The problem, therefore, is to en-
able the majority to conduct industry in such
way as to maintain fair and steady employ
ment and high wages to provide mass mar
ket, without being bankrupted by sweatshop
competitors
The government is stepping in only after
Industry itself has failed to restrain the suic-
dial acts of some of it's members
Under the industrial recovery bill. indus
tries unable to regulate themselves to prevent
self destruction will be regulated by the
government. Industries will be encouraged
and helped to draft their own codes Of fair
competition, including shorter hours and
higher wages; and industries too stupid or too
dishonest to cooperate voluntarily will be

system.
Of course that is putting great power in the
hands of the government. But we did it to
win the World war. We are doing it again to
win greater war. And we are fortunate to
have in Washington at this time a government
to which the people are willing to intrust such
powers.
Although the industrial recovery act is
written with definite time limitation and as
an emergency measure, it should open the way
TO some form of permanent national planning.
The American economic system probably can
not survive another plunge into the chaos and
business death which has dragged down the
country curing the last four years. National
planning is the price of survival.
To President Roosevelt the nation is in
debted for the leadership which has made pos

For this reason, the conscientious
parent always will work to leave his
son better world as well as big
ger business. Indeed. it often seems
that if we cured the social evils, ad-
justed economic wrongs, and re-
lieved international injustice, par

job.

are caused by the outer circum-
stance and not by the inner being.

Obviously, this equally is impor-
tant for other diseases transmitted
by insects. Housef1ies, honey bees,
and cockroaches have been observed
in airplanes, and the use of gas to
kill mosquitoes on planes has re-
suited in the finding of at least a
thousand cockroaches in one plane
after it had made a fight to a
southern country.
1t is not likely that the importa-
ton of infected mosquitoes would be
as serious a matter as the importa-
ton Of an infected man, but certain

does exist and preventive methods
should be employed.

A Job for Roosevelt

DUT part Of the attempt to re-
- turn to normally is within his
own responsibility. Mr.. Roosevelt
was elected by party which is split
badly. Moreover, his appeal carried
into voting camps of widely di-
vergent views. At the outset he NAV
well have been troubled by the
thought that his mandate, although
hearty, was far from explicit.
In effect, then, Franklin D. Roose-
velt came into power as a sort of
coalition government in his own
person, and he surrounded himself
with advisers of many hues. The
best men among his counsellors are
some of the members of the brain
trust" which has aroused so much
easy parody from the old-Iine pol
iticians.
Roughly, the Roosevelt council can
be divided into men who believe
that they are dealing with a tenn
porary emergency and men who
think that fundamental and per
manent Establishments must be
made in the economic setup of the
United States.
1t is altogether impossible to rec
oncile these two schools. President
Roosevelt must make up his mind
which is his crowd. And he must
make up his mind now.
If the lads who have come to the
great confagration with a fire ex-
tinguisher are to prevail, there will
be no great point in getting into
fury about congressional obstruction

DIRECTORS SHOULD DIRECT

Is interesting to read that the New York
supreme court has ruled that corporate
directors who neglect their duties can be held
liable If their corporation goes on the rocks.
This ruling came in $1OOOOo,OOo account
ing suit bro1ght against eight directors of
the bankrupt International Match Co.. which
collapsed after the suicide of its guiding gen.
JUS, Ivar Kreuger.
The suit asked that the directors render an
accounting of their official acts and be COM
PEELED to pay the amounts lost through their
alleged negligence
Directors, the court holds, must direct. If
they are content to serve as fgureheads, rub
ber-stamping the acts of corporation officials
they can not escape responsibility.
And nation which has seen a number of
firms go to the wall because their directors
uont take their duties seriously is apt to an

I even went so far as to say that

carrying out this new plan success
fully in the interest of more efficient

IN RUM CASE:

The wish that all Montgomery
county residents favoring the
Eighteenth Amendment might
have heard a liquor case tried
yesterday in police court at Rock
vile was expressed by State At
torney Stedman Prescott in his
argument.
Raymond Hopkins, colored, Of
Kensington, Md, was given a sus-
pended sentence Of three months
in the Maryland House Of Correc-
ton by Judge Donald A. DeLash-
mutt for helping to make a sale
of liquor to 14-year-old white
Kensington boy. Hopkins was said
to have obtained a half pint Of
liquor from Lulu Jackson, also col
ored, which he transferred to the
boy. Lulu was sentenced to three
months in the House of Correc-
tion. She appealed.

sold "rot-gut" liquor, under the
beer law young children cannot
purchase the beverage.
