|M.E.Tracy Says:

r OSING farm through foreclosure is tough,
IL but no tougher, perhaps, than losing a lie S
savings in stock or all ones ready cash through
bank failure.
In any case, it does not help matters the
least bit to drag an old judge off the bench,
nour automobile grease over his head, tie a rope
around his neck, and mistreat him in other
ways.
Neither does it help matters the least bit to
make a deputy sheriff kiss the flag or run law
yers off the courthouse steps.
There are people who regard such acts as
not only justif1able, but constructive in their
effect There are people who believe in the
most childish kind of violence as sound meth
cd of reform and relief. One hears such chat
ter on every hand and, occasionally, one gets an
illustration of how it works when translated
into mob activities.
We should be very grateful that most Of
these illustrations have been furnished by other
people and that our own country has been so
free from them
Whatever else happens, we must maintain
order, since with order all things are possible,
without it, little can be accomplished
NOTHING has done more to distinguish the
IN United States in this season of world
wide agony than the firrnneSs with which con-
stitutional government has been maintained,
unless it is the speed with which new admins
tratlOn has made such radical changes without
causing the slightest disturbance.
The flexibility of this government permits
the people to do what is necessary without re-
sorting to revolution, or mobilizing volunteer
forces of discipline
That fact has spared us from the upheavals
and disorders with which so many other coun-
tries have been afflicted and which can not
help slowing up the processes of recovery
We are right in discouraging all forms Of
violent action on the one hand and in insisting
on the application of lawful sanction for every
kind of relief or reform on the other
AS things stand, the American people have
nothing to overcome but material losses and
economic handicaps,. while many other people
IND themselves entangled with rump govern
n'ents, arbitrary relationships, lost liberties,
factional hates and political chaos
nNE can go to the record and prove that the
" United States has suffered well above the
average in the decline of trade capital value
and earning capacity
But-and this is the all-important point-the
United States has found it possible to maintain
the health OF her people and keep her govern
mental structure intact
We have found it desirable to grant the
President dictatorial powers we have found it
unnecessary to call on BLACK shirts" or brown
shlrtS, much less invoke firing squads or perse-
cute minorities
All this puts us in a position to take quick
advantage OF the upSwinging and to exert
wholesome influence for peace and order
throughout the world.

OUR DEBT BURDENS

FIGURES on the national debt issued by the
Twentieth Century Fund headed by Ed
ward A. Filene of Boston, show in a striking
way the enormous burden which the nation is
trying to carry out of the depression
Long term Indebtedness in the United
States today, according to these figures,
amounts to 40 per cent Of the national
wealth, requires 20 per cent of the national
income and is one of the major obstacles to
economic recovery
Corporations, government agencies and in
dividuals share in long term Indebtedness
of $134, 900 100000, as compared with s75,ooo,-
100000 in 1921
Looking at those figures, it is not hard to
understand why such a strong demand for in
f1ation has arisen during the last few months.

in the milk unless the milk is kept

When the milk is paSteurized. the
germs are destroyed or inhibited

AMERICAS FARM TRADITION

TT isn't altogether bad luck that this vest
pocket war of Iowa farmers should have
occurred just as the final ticks were being put
on the big farm relief-inhation bill at Wash

Our plans 10 help the farmer at last have
crystallized into something definite and imme-

our attention anew on the whole agricultural

what is at stake in this farm relief program.

A WOman's Viewpoint

"DIRECTOR of the Mint" is a
~ mouth-1lling title, especially
for woman. Nevertheless, we're
going to have one. Mrs. Nellie Tay-
loe Ross will be in charge of all the
gold, silver and copper coins in this
entire country and will supervise the
assay offices, to which the metal is
taken for conversion into money.
Here's progress, if you ask me.
And when we become really inteln-
gent, financially speaking, we shall
put women in complete charge of
national collections and disburse-
ments.
Well regulate our large expendi-
lures as We do those at home-by
giving mama an allowance on which
to run things. And will they be
runl
In spite of the idea prevalent in
many quarters that We know moth
ing about money. and if given a
free hand would be reckless spend
thrifts, most of the actual saving
accomplished in any country is done
by women.

An Ealsey for q Fish

Now, Mr.. Easley is almost as
famous ghost trotter as Mr.. Fish.
Even the soft patter of the tiniest
liberal feet will set Mr.. Easley to
crying out on alarm that the red
shirts are coming. Paul Revere had
a horse, Mr.. Easley motorcycle.
But circumstances were against
him. He did not precisely thunder
down the ether, because the script
was strange to him and he could
not pronounce some Of the long
words.
Even more unfortunately, there
was a page to turn just after
paragraph embodying a defense of
religious belief against all foreigners
who would assail it. Mr.. Easley lost
his place and muttered under his
breath.
Radio is a great invention. and
not a single word of the i'm
promptu whisper was denied the in
visible audience. Out through the
Oranges and into Radbourne went
the agonized cry: Damn it all!
Where the hell does it hitch up?"

PURE FOOD AND DRTTCS

A DISPATCH from Washington says that
4 revisions of the federal food and drug
law to provide way of penalizing advertisers
who mislead consumers is being considered
seriously by administration leaders.
A number of people have pointed out that
the existing law contains number of loop
holes. An INSCRIPTIONS manufacturer can
take advantage of these to deceive the public
seriously.
And 1t IS not only the public that needs
protection; it is the reputable manufacturer
and the reputable advertiser, as we'll Most
!irillS doing business under the food and drug
law do not need to be restrained.
Ihey suffer as much as does the consum-
ing public from the fact that a constituencies
lew take advantage of the laws weakness

Congressman Silent

1 was invited, several days ago,
to participate in a debate over the
air with the Hon. Ham Fish on the
question Of the recognition of Rus
STA by the United States. The task
of Mr.. Fish was to condemn any
such action by our state depart
ment, while was assigned to argue
that recognition should be accorded
and the sooner the better.
Since that is my very strong
opinion, 1 was delighted to accept.
In addition I was curious to see and
to listen to the Honorable Fish, who
has won such reputation for him
self among the herring hunters. A
red sky at night is the sailors de-
light, but to the congressman it
constitutes warming.
At the appointed hour I appeared
at the studio with a script filled
with statistics and everything. But
there was no Ham Fish.
you go on first" advised the
station manager, "and undoubtedly
he'll show up before you finish"
1 started out to talk against Fish
and time. The minutes seemed
captive balloons-so stationary they
were. On I went, and on, but Fish
was fifty miles away. At least he
was not visible.
Just before I went down for the
third time, I made a despairing
gesture to the local announcer to
indicate that I could go no further.
Being a man of rare presence of
mind, he picked up the address of
the distinguished and missing man
from Washington and thrust it into
the hands Of Ralph Easley.

Now that a receiver has been ap-
pointed for the Meyer Kiser bank,
a great many depositors have set
tied back with a sigh of relief, glad
to know that affairs of the insol-
vent bank have been taken out of
the hands of the three liquidating
agents. Let us hope that Judge
Cox will continue to air the trans
actions and fees of the new receiver
as thoroughly as he has the old
administration.

My dear Taxpayer of April "a, the
dirty neck and greasy hands belong
to the faithful and blind slaves who
sweat blood and CRIME in your fac
tories-creating your wealth, giving
you your perfumed soap. It has
been easier for you to steal the
candy of these helpless children
than to earn it yourself.
When dead and dumb property
and shiny yellow coins became more
precious to you than the fate Of
'God-made fellow men, violence to
you and your gang is the last and
triumphant card. Remember this,
Bourbon: A quarter million young
men will not shoot their own
brothers, wives, fathers, and sweet
hearts. The oath will mean little.
1t will be forgotten.
Will Your EXcellency please be
specific when he states that our
leaders may be purchased for thirty
pieces of silver?
If you are serious when you ask
for a visit from a Red, shall be
most happy to accept. I shall not
grovel and I shall not beg bread.
Neither shall I convince you of your
errors.
That, I'm afraid, is beyond human
possibility. I am writing this for the
benefit of those who are puzzled at
your imbecility and are possibly
wondering whether you are not all
that way" I wish you were.
The task of reforming this sick
earth would be far simpler, if all
the aristocracy had your frankness,
your utter lack of guile, the COM
mon horde and several of your close
servants would make tandem for
nation and descend upon your
precious necks.
The scream of Bolshevism and
victorious mob violence would ring
through your beautiful halls. You
would quake and whine for mercy,

Oh families in America right now
wouldn't be getting along at all.
We girls got a bad reputation for
spending, but we were using some
body's else money at the time, you
must remember. We all know how
to hang on to our own.
I daresay if our sex had been in
charge of affairs in 1914, a great
deal more of our cash still would be
at home and a great deal less in
Europe.
Woman is fitted both by nature
and circumstance for economy. She
has had raw deal from nature and
lived through the ages when she
worked without pay. Everything she
got for long time had to be OBJ
tanned by slowing nickles away in
cracked teapots and in slicing pen
MES from the family budget.
She schemed and connived to get
a few extras for her children, and
has run her home on a pittance.
If practice makes perfect, women
ought to be able to run the country
on one-tenth of what the men have
TO have. -

Summer Complaint Is Peril to Babies

MANY years ago an alarming
1YK number of babies died with
the coming Of summer because of
severe attacks of summer diarrhea,
also called summer complaint.
The intestinal tracts of babies are
exceedingly delicate and are likely
to develop looSeneSS on slight provo
cation Moreover, because of the
extremely delicate organization Of
the infants growing body, the eff
fects of summer complaint are like
ly to be much more serious in an
infant than in a grown-up person.
In a recent consideration of the
subject, DR.. w. McKim Marriott
points out that perfectly healthy
babies show great individual diff
ferences in the number of daily
movements.
Much depends on whether they
are nursing at the breast or being

BY Times Reader
The democracy of this great ma
ton has become a farcical legend
based on the Constitution which our
forefathers created. The vote of the
honest citizen has no significance
in our gubernatorial elections.
The most plausible explanation of
this indignity is that the govern
ment now is based upon the propo-
Sition that all corporations and
chain stores are the property of and
managed by shareholding citizens.
The facts concerning this horri-
BILE depression that has devastated
our country never will be ack-
nowledged by the people response

vision of our honest laws and gov
ernmental policies has resulted in

considered as an individual and
handled as such.
The chief cause of diarrhea dur
ing hot weather is the pressure of
germs in milk. which multiply ex-
ceSsively, particularly if the milk
is not properly cooled or refrig-
Grated.
Of course, the baby who is nurs-
ing is likely to have fresh milk free
from harmful germs.
The breast-fed baby rarely suf-
fers with summer complaint. Even
such a baby, however, may suffer
infection from impure water or
from accessory feeding of materials
which are not bacteriologically
clean.

Spring
BY EDWARD HIESE

Standing on the hillside
Ankle-deep in flowers,
Her favorites flocking around her
Or hanging back in bowers.
Resting in the valley,
Like a tired child from play,
Lying in the fern and moss,
Breathing scents of May.
Spring is in the woodland,
More beautiful than all.
Opening blossoms round her,
Opening at her call.
Birds singing DER her,
Bright blue sky above.
God surely sent her
To fill the world with love.

UP BOBS GRUNDY

IF we remember our nursery stuff there was
l. an end to Solomon Grundy, born on a
Monday. But none, it seems, to his namesake,
Joe.
Ex-senator and eX-Lobbyist Joseph R.
Grundy, the greatest tariff touter of all time,
is back in Washington. He carries the blessing
of the American Tariff League, and swears to
scotch the Roosevelt plan for reciprocal tariff
treaties with other nations.
In 1880 America was warned by thirty-six
nations that the Hawley- Smoot-Grundy high
tariff policies would ruin them and us. Sec
rotary of State Cordell Hull said: "The prac-
tice of the half-insane policy Of economic iso-
lation during the last ten years by America
and by the world under American leadership
is the largest single underlying cause of the
present world panic"
A group of 1000 American economists said
the same thing. President Hoover listened to
the Grundy bloc. The voters retired Mr.. Hoo
yer to California, Mr. Hawley to Oregon, Mr..
Smoot to Utah, Mr.. Grundy to Pennsylvania.
Messrs Hoover, Hawley and Smoot are
silent in their little grey homes in the west
Silence likewise would be becoming to Mr..
Grundy.
