LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson .

But his little girl will always
remember. She'll never be able
to forget-not with her mother
wandering, wild-eyed and daft,
down strange tenement halls.
Not with the memory of
Daddy's white, broken face
branded on her brain.
She was seeing that face this
morning when she spilled the
coffee on your sleeve. Yes,
know it made a nasty spot.
But s...
OH. BE PATIENT! HAVE A
HEART!
And that "blundering fool"
who scratched the fender of the
new car you left for Servicing.
Yes, I know he was exasperat-
ing and in a way you're fully
justified in your determination
to report him to the boss.
But, suppose you were in his
shoes?
Suppose you'd been sitting up
all night with a sick wife and
a week-old baby?
Didn't know he was married.
a kid like that? No, I suppose
you didn't. But "kids like that"
do marry nowadays, snatching
at the only bit of wonder and
beauty which may come their
way.
How do they live?
They don't live, stranger.
They love, and die; as that
tiny baby was dying last night.
because his frail girl mother
didn't have strength enough in
her famished body to give him
the will to live.
A 20-year-old boy sitting
alone, through a dreadful night.
watching his baby die, clutch
ing a half starved girl
And today he scratched the
fender on your car.
OH, BE PATIENT! HAVE A
HEART!
1.-The lucky ones with jobs"
You'll never know what des-
perate chances they take, what
cruel hardShipS they face, to
get that luck.
StaffS cut in half.
Workers doing double shift;
half dead with weariness and
worry; blundering, fumbling,
fuzzy-fingered, through strange
chores.
And don't forget the boss,
who's taking the chances-giv-
ing them all a chance, at the
risk of his own ruin.
Half-time, jobs - with less
than half time pay. 49,.
Emergency measures.
These things are words to
you. But there are human
beings , behind those words
desperately frightened and dis
couraged human beings, trying
to carry on-trying to meet
your demands.
They stumble sometimes.
OF course they do!
Wouldn't you?
OH, BE PATIENT! HAVE A
HEART!

kets with bad securities;
and that the public interest
demands.
Because of the bad secur-
tiles, sold at extravagant
prices during the mad-dog
days of insane speculation,
resulting in the wiping out
of a vast army Of investors,
much has been done to make
the public fearful Of secur-
tiles. 1t is just as apt to
be skeptical of good securi-
ties as of bad.
There is just one way to
overcome this fear and re-
store confidence-and that
is a governmental regula-
tion necessitating publicity
regarding the securities Of
fered. When investors are
in position to know what
they are buying, and what
is back of it, they will buy,
and probably not before.
Nothing better can be
done for the security mar
ket than the instituting of
such reforms as will restore
public confidence.

Vision and Reality
Combined In Film

Did the creator of Gabriel Over the White House have
advance information the type of who installed in
the Executive Mansion on March 4?
The Characterization President Hammond pre-
sents just such revolution of action characterized the
change Of administrations last month
Had the film been shown few months ago it would
dOubtedly have been hailed purely visionary
But it is less realistic portrayal of what
happen and what does happen when action deerm
nation and ability chooses WELD the mighty power of the
Presidency for the good of the people.
In many instances the parallels between what the fictitious
President Hammond does what President Roosevelt does
are uncanny.

such reforms as will restore
public confidence.
No Sweeping Disasters
In England
Some Of the gentlemen
on Wall Street who are
"cool" toward all reforms
intended to put an end to
such practices in that quar-
ter as contributed enor-
mously to the general ruin
in this country are protest
ing that the measure pro-
posed is similar to that in
England. They contend
that the law in England is
not popular among some
people in that country.
But the public observes
that there was no such
sweeping disaster in Eng
land where there is some
regulation by government
as here where there was
none.
There must be men in the
financial field in England
unscrupulous enough to have
looked with longing eyes
upon the ease with which
a short time ago it was
possible for the unscrupu-
lous here to pluck the un-
wary.
We suspect that even a
potential insult might be
found in England.
But the insults there have
not been able to do what
they were able to do here
and the English investor
is the gamer.
People Have
Right to Know
And aDropos of the plan
here for the floating Of for
eign loans, Wall Street is
quoted as looking upon it as
academic" just now, and
as believing that investment
houses here will not under
write as precisely accurate
every statement made by
foreign governments.
Now the reason for the
keen interest here in the
protection Of the buying
public in foreign bonds is
that very scandalous revela-
tions have shown that some
inv We st m n t houses here
dumped upon the public
bonds they knew, or had
every reason to believe,
were bad. Is it necessary to
recall the Peruvian loani
Putting aside all the tech
nicalities and getting down
to the brass tacks of COM
mon sense and common
honesty, the fact is that
some investment houses here,
knowing that some foreign
bonds were a desperate
gamble at best, advertised
them glowingly for the
sake of the handsome COM
mission they received.
If a foreign issue is con-
sidered in advised financial
circles as a very bad risk;
if the people of the nation
whose government offers
the bonds are opposed to
the issue, even if it becomes
necessary to bribe the son
of a president to get the
bonds offered, the American
investor has a right to
know as much about them
as the investment house
that offers them for sale,

pICTAToRs AND OPPRESSION

The Times-NewS has received pamph-
let, 1.-The Jews in Nazi Germany" pub
ished by The American Jewish Commit
tee, giving some of the record of the per-
secution of German Jews under the Hitler
dictatorship. 1t is one of the blacklist chap
tiers in the history of modern civilization.
This newspaper cannot find space to quote
from the pamphlet in adequate presenta-
ton of the case of the Jews, as the record
is too lengthy to be presented IN that way,
but it is a record that should damn Nazi
Germany in the brotherhood of civilized
nations.
Germanys persecution of the Jews is an
object lesson in relationships. In some de-
gree similar record has been established
in Italy under the dictatorship of Musso-
lini. The dictatorship of the PrOetariat in
Russia is, of course, the most revolving
present day example of the excuses of this
form of government control.
Those Americans who have been flirt
ing with the dictator system Of government
and suggesting that it is needed in this
country, should inform themselves as tc

most lost sight of and that is that thousands in

having about the same trouble that the young girl
is having who is heroicaly learning to eat olives.
Soon the taste for it will be acquired. We are wit

between the young girl and her olives and the man

know that there is quite enough alcohol in three

and women and to keep the liquor lords sleek and
fat for the rest of their lives. The end is not yet.
It is hard for young North Carolina to acquire the
taste for beer but since it is the thing to do young
North Carolina has set about acquiring that taste
and when the taste for beer has been educated,
the alcohol habit will have its poor victim enslaved
Let us not forget that alcohol is habit forming

have the beginning of moral cancer in North

BURNED CHILD LOVES THE FIRE

Students of the causes of this period of
depression" know that one of the chief
causes as far as it concerns the United
States was the period of speculation and
initiation through which the country passed
prior to 1880. The orgy of stock specula-
ton in 1929 and previous years was larga-
ly responsible for the collapse of business
as a whole, following the stock market
crash in the latter part of 1929. 1t appears,
however, that the people of this country
learned very little by experience in those
years and in the years of depression"
This is a nation of gamblers. A large pro-
portion of the population is composed of
natural born" gamblers. AS soon as there
are signs of recovery of business, in re-
Spouse to the desperate efforts of the fed
eral government to bring around change

Threatening from this renewal of the orgy
of speculation, The Cleveland Star says:

THE DOLLAR AND THE TOURIST

The dollars decline is said to be sending Ameri-
can tourists home from Europe and the number
Of tourists who will go abroad long as the dol
lar hangs around its present value will decrease.
That is bad news for the hotel keepers in the Brit
sh Isles and in Continental countries. 1t is not
pleasing news for European railroads. bankers, and
merchants who look for the annual tourist crop to
be one of great profit.
Railroads, bankers, hotel men and merchants OF
the United States will look on the groveng dollar
with more favor when they know that it will keep
at home the jolly spenders who annually cross to
Europe in search of new sights and new expert
ences.
Many of these travellers in foreign lands know
little about their own country. Many of them
know little about the countries they visit while
abroad. But the decline of the dollar will make
travelling in the United States more attractive fol
them. They will learn that AndrOscoggin is IL
Maine, that Joliet is in Illinois and that it wa
named for a great Frenchma nwho had much t.
