VOU may recall the story of the
l. highly emotional young man
who was told to eat an apple every
time he became worried or fright
ened One day he stopped at a
hotel and, on entering his room at
night, he found the chambermaid
had hanged herself there.
The man rushed down to the
hotel desk and cried:
"A chambern1aid has hanged her
self in my room. For goodness
sake, give me an apple, quick"
Of course this is an exceptional
example, but it points to the neces-
sity of controlling your emotions
by finding some outlet for them.
In the case of the hotel guest, it
was eating apples.
In your case, it may be counting
to 100 before expressing anger, or
walking off worry and unsatis1ed
desires. In any event, it is impor-
tant to control and direct your emo
tons before they get the better Of
you, since proper control Of the
emotions is necessary for the best
mental health.
Unpleasant incidents occur in
the lives of all of us. The man
who trains himself to take each

ICKES-MARGOLD CENSORSHIP

THERE are times when government bureaus
have confidential information that should
be kept confidential For instance, when the
petroleum administrative bureau is preparing
to fix prices, its deliberations might well be
kept confidential until price schedules are
agreed upon
But for the chairman of the petroleum ad-
ministrative board, who is solicitor of the in
terror department, and for the cabinet officer
in charge of that department to forbid gov
erment workers in two bureaus even to talk
with members of the press is nonsense.
knowing their records, we are amazed at
the new gag rules just issued by Solicitor
Nathan r. Margold and Secretary Harold
Ickes of the interior department. Not content
with merely attempting to keep confidential
information confidential, they have signed an
order addressed to the departments legal
staff and to workers with the oil board which
includes this rule:
mo oral interviews are to be granted to,
nor shall any conversations be had with, any
members of the press under any crcum-
stances"
This certainly does not bespeak any great
confidence in their assistants upon the part
of the solicitor who drew the order and the
secretary who approved it.
Attempts to censor or gag the press have
no place in this country; not even when only
two small bureaus of the government are con-
cerned.
Particularly, they have no place in this
Democratic administration whose head has
made every effort to give the people the facts

STILL TAGGING

IF the social sciences only could catch up
with medical science, this ought to be
pretty fair sort of world before very long.
DR.. George w Grille of Cleveland. medi-
cal man who sees visions and dreams
in the laboratory where he examines the
riddles of life and death, told the recent con-
greSS of the American College of Surgeons
that the human race will be much finer and
healthier outfit inside of a century.
Doctors then will prevent disease rather
than cure it: indeed. the doctor who has to
treat a disease will have to confess that he
has failed in his duty of preventing its in
ception.
Such plaques as diphtheria typhoid, small
pox, malaria, and typhus will be eliminated:
tuberculosis. diabetes and most diseases of the
heart will be mastered; cancer and the social
diseases will be reduced sharply. and child
birth will be made safe
And yet DR.. Grille does not believe that
this healthy race Of 2033 a D. will be a very
happy one. The race. he believes, will be
menaced increasingly by the development of
technology. The pace of day-to-day living
will continue to increase. so that there will be
more disorders of the mind and the nervous
system than ever before.
This bit of prophecy seems to indicate that
We have mastered just about every science
except the simple and homely one OF con-
Quoting everyday affairs so that human be-
ings can be happy instead of unhappy. We
can conquer the toughest problems the physi-

AUTUMN

ITO America, autumn should come "nodding
u DER the yellow plain" as a right welcome
guest.
Crops, it is true, have not been extra large
this season, but that, under our strange econo-
my, means better times for farmers. Though
bumper harvests are lacking there is enough
for everybody. In the country the bins and
barns. the cellars, srnokehouses and bee hives
are filled with the summers gleanings In the
cities shelves groan under the weight of food
and clothing and the coal yards are piled high
with fuel
1t is benign time of year. An early frost
has touched the naples and e!ms and vines
with scarlet, yellow and notified browns
Pumpkins dot the fields reminding us of Hal
Ioween and fat Thanksgiving pies. The season
Of cooling winds. of slackening toll of "nlists
and mellow fruitfulness' is here. The harvest
song is in the air.
Why is it that in this land of peace and
plenty the autumn holds so little of content
ment, so much Of fear? We think we know,
and We hope we are on the way toward re-
constructed society Of less man-made misery.
Meanwhile there are 100000 destitute fami-
lies of us who must be fed and clothed and
sheltered.
Farmers, reading natures signs, expect
hard, long winter Whether they read the signs
rightly or not it will be hard long winter for
millions. To let single family suffer from
lack of food and shelter is to betray the spirit
of autumn.

tradition is the greatest obstacle in
our recovery program.
That, and the distrust of our lead
ership that has been growing slow
ly in the minds of the people,
through long years when betrayals
were many. Who can measure the
harm We have brought upon our
own heads by our negligence? We
have elected demagogues and in
competents and nit-wits to Office so
long; we have let poor old Uncle
Sans business strictly alone; we
have been fooled so many times,
it's no wonder we are suspicious.
We shall accomplish our economic
recovery. We've got to. But while
We are doing it, it is TO be hoped
We also shall accomplish a greater
end. Renewed and rightly placed
trust in our Washington leaders
will be the greatest boon the gods
tcould grant US.

satisfactory.
How badly the baskets failed to
meet the needs of the unemployed,
only the committee can testify.
Wherever complaints were made,
the committee called, and not con-
tent with rumor, personally in
spected baskets, sampled coffee,
and tested weights. A semi official
follow-up by a newspaper repre-
sentative about three months later
disclosed a decided improvement in
quality and quantity from which it
would appear that the work of the
subcommittee had not been en-
tirely in vain.
Let us, therefore, in approving
the discontinuance of basket relief,
not forget to voice cur appreciation
for the work of that little group Of
fact-collectors who represented the
unemployment relief committee of
the Central committee of South
Side Civic Clubs and other civic
leagues, also the recipients of bas-
kets who so patiently and cheer
fully co-operated.

The Calamity bowler" Is abroad
in the land. First comes young
Lloyd Claycombe before the
Women's Republican Club, laboring
under the impression that he can
tear down all the great work Presi-
dent Roosevelt and the MIRA have
done since March 4. His efforts
remind the writer of a mole hill try
ing to push over a mountain or a
gnat Juggling at an elephant.
Next comes Jim Watson, the per-
petual candidate, in a yelled speech
at Chicago, telling our great Presi-
dent what to do, and none of which
he ever did or ever tried to do in
his service in congress. Jim is a
great statesman out of congress and
a great fizz in congress.
Next comes Mr.. Groninger, erst-
while corporation lawyer chow the
people love such lawyers in a TRADE
against Capitalization of power in
the state administration. If Mr.
Groninger knows the history of his
country, he should know that the
Republican party and all its ante
cedentS back to Alexander Hamilton
have been the party of centraliza-
ton.
Next comes the Irvington (Stand-
pat) Republican Club, that thinks
it can tear down our great Presi-
dent. This is the club that, in the
last campaign, had one of it's mem
bers read a political speech of the
late Bob Ingersoll before it, and, by
so doing, adopted the speech as part
of its creed. Bob Ingersoll was the
arch inf1del who spent his life try
ing to tear down the Christian re-
ligion. This shows the extremes to
which parties can go, and this, in
classic Irvington.
But none of the above can wrest
from our great President the love
and loyalty the people have for him
The people do not forget.

It Just Isn't So

LEAR has been expressed that the
Il American Federation of Labor
is striving to bring reporters into
its organization and that any such
alliance would mean a coloring of
all news in the interests of
unionism. I might reply mildly that
this would be partial atonement
for the fact that in certain publ
cations the coloring at the moment
is all the other way.
But it is silly to debate an Issue
which has not arisen. 1 am in q
position to state of my own knowl-
edge that the A. F. of L. is making
no effort to organize newswriters.
There is reporters union in
Scranton and one in Milwaukee,
but these are not of recent Gre
alton.
A Well-known labor leader told
me: L don't think reporters unions
are good things. If you cont mind
my being frank, it hGs been nv
experience that you newspape men
haven't the cooperative spirit.
you'll rat on one another in way
printers wouldn't think of doing"
Publishers are human beings, no
better and no worse than other
men. In a cruel and competitive
world in which business has not
been SO hot they want to keep costs
down as much as possible.
But why don't they say just that7
Why not call a perfectly normal
thing by its right name? Why wrap
self-interest in the American flag
and call it "the freedom of the
press?

Hilltop
BY MARION NEAL.


A hilltop is the place for me.
Scattered far by all winds free
All my cares are snatched away
Leaving to me the lovely day.
A hilltop is place I love.
Summer rain; fresh from above
Steals away all trace Of toll.
Leaves the fragrance Of new titled
soil.
A hilltop holds world of charms.
Oft times cradle in its arms
And doEe and dream meath sunny
skies.

I would like to say to Maurice

They throw your can halfway up

It Seems
to Me
=BY HAYWOOD BROUN:

NEW YORK. Oct. 21.-Phil S.
~ Hanna. editor of the Chicago
Journal Of Commerce. said in ad-
dressing a conference Of mid
western newspaper publishers:
Would anybody have dreamed the
time would come when a govern
ment official would stand up and
talk about boycotts and cracking
down on employers who differ with
politicians about the method of
bringing back recovery"
The easiest answer to that query
is to ask another question: Would
anybody have dreamed the time
would come when there would be
more than 100000 men out of
work in the United States?"
Apparently, the bitter enders
against the new deal are finding
many recruits among the ranks Of
publishers. Only the other day that
venerable editor, Senator Carter
Glass, came out with a statement
saying in effect: Nobody is going
to tell me how to run my busi-
ness

High priced dollars the American
people are forced to buy today with
their labor, and the products of
labor, in order to get an exchange
medium for other products, are the
basis of the collapse of industrial
production. Short weight on the
scales, short change in trade, and
high-priced dollars all have the
same effect, except that in the first
two instances we have legal redress
by arresting the offenders while in
the last case we surrender, with the
laconic attitude of a martyr, and
call the game of cheating with
changing money values, sound
money.
Our national debt structure of
203 billion dollars, built on the
former 500 billion paper values, now
rests on a 201 billion physical value.
Our money earning power has fallen
so per cent. Either our earning
power in money will have to increase
so per cent or the debt structure
fall so per cent.

Need Of TeHinq

~
NTELL, as a matter Of fact,
w somebody is going to tell the
senator. And somebody is going to
tell other newspaper proprietors who
think that nothing has happened
in the last four years to put a crimp
in rugged individualism.
Naturally, any editor has a right
to declare that he is opposed to the
provisions of the national recovery
act, and that he wants to see Hoover
prosperity established once again
by Hoover methods. But few of
them are as frank as that. And
some of the very men who carry
editorial commentator for this or
that in NRA want to take the atti-
tude that, while it may be fine for
| others, it can't be made to apply to
the newspaper business.
1t would save time ALL around II
General johnson had written large
across the wall of his office the
quoted words: But, of course, you
understand our business is differ
emit"
Every group Of employers which
has gone to Washington has begun
with the assertion that some pc
culiar1ty in coal or ships or sugar
or sealing wax made it impossible
for the industry to be put under the
workings of a code. The business
of getting out newspapers would be
peculiar indeed if it we're not diff
ferent."
These variations have received due
consideration. In some cases too
much. But the whole program will
bog down if any particular group
can set itself up as so exceptional
that it can operate only under a
blanket exemption. !.
Using the Wrong Label
NOR do think it is fair for pub
~ fishers to attempt to conceal
their opposition to cooperation by
calling it "a gallant fight to pre-
serve the freedom of the press"
1 am sorry to say that l fell for
this dodge myself a couple of
months ago, and wrote column in
which 1 said that it might be a
dangerous thing for newspapers to
consent to a licensing system. I
wrote out of the most abysmaI ig-
norance. Since then I have had
the privilege of reading and hear
ing some of the arguments advanced
in favor of the publishers position,
notably an assortment of deli
catessen put out by Carl Alderman,
dean of the Columbia school of
Journalism.
He set his pupils very bad ex-
ample. He said that only the Wig
lance and courage of the Ameri-
can newspaper publishers had saved
the country from a Fascist dictator
ship. He put everything into his
article except evidence.
The truth is that nobody in Wash
ington has offered the slightest
threat to the freedom of the press.
Some publishers want open shop
conditions. Some want no sort of
minimum wage or restriction of
hours. None of these things has
anything to do with the freedom of
the press.
