It Seems
to Me
by HEYWOOD BROUN,

NEW YORK. Sept 26.-I have
L heard several. to put it mildly,
criticisms of MIRA They have not
served to convince me that the blue
eagle is in the red. Some Of its ac-
complshments are startling IN
deed. in a few respects it has sue
ceeded beyond even the widest
dreams
I refer to the manner in which
certain tough babies have been
softened up by the new deal A
former Roosevelt. who seems likely
to go down in history as President
Roosevelt the Minor, used to full
inmate against malefactors Of great
wealth and attack them fiercely
with the big stick. His record was
pretty good He had his share of
knockoutS, draws against fast two
listed boys and hairline decisions.
But there was not the same pun
iShing power. 1t is, of course, en-
tirely possible that the eagle nay
droOp, fold its wings and come
tumbling down like Lucifer or any
common plummet But whoever
comes after with a new economic
scheme should in all fairness give
some credit to the pioneer work Of
the bird

Jumped ThrOuQh Hoops

EEINE ears have heard the cooling
4VG accents Of gentlemen who were
set in the public mind a year ago
as man-eating tigers. In any corri-
dor of the Commerce Building you
can see ingratiating, rugged indi-
viduals who would have bitten your
hand off less than a year ago if
you CHANGED to say, Mister, could
you spare a five-hour day?"
I'm not sure that all these
monsters from the jungle are COM
pletely tanned. I'd hate to cut my
finger or be in the range of the
rush if any other slab Of raw beef
were thrown along the Railways
where the reformed industrialists
now hold forth. In fact, I'd even
hate to make sound like one dollar
clanking against another.
The larger predatory mammals
have not yet been reduced to the
status Of house pets. But I doubt
that they will ever be the same.
They have known the bars, the cir
Gus ring and the experience of
jumping through the hoops. Words
such as the right of labor" "a fair
share for the workers" and I'VE
want you boys to be satisfied" are
heard now in quarters where pre-
viously the only sounds were
"grumphl" and also crunch!
crunch! crunch!"

authentic rings Of living fire, and
if some of the predatory princes
continue to talk long enough about
the new economic dispensation
they may in time cOntrive to con-
vince themselves.
We lie as yet this side Of Para
else. Never in my life have l heard
so many stories of mean, small,
petty grating things as float about
in Washington. And my respect
for the potentialities of organized
mankind is higher now than ever
before. Every fact, indeed every
rumor, of shocking selfshness can
be matched by some instance OF
deeply ingrained sincerity and al
most unbelievable devotion.

Seems To Be q Start

TINE earth still is numbered with
4 many who are willing to lift
anything which is not allied down.
But a change has occurred. Rob
Der barons who used to ride on for
avs without a qualm now pause for
maybe six seconds on the brink Of
peculation and say, Il know

This is, as you might say, not
quite enough. And still it seems to
be a start.

Just a few lines regarding the
Sunday Star boys, as 1 see it. 1t
looks to me like frame-up to COM
pei the people to buy from the regu-
lar carrier from the Office. There
are boys who have their regular
customers and are not allowed to
deliver their papers until 8, while
the regular carrier delivers his
early, and I understand are COM
PEELED to take out fifty extras. Why
have not the boys who have regu-
lar customers, the same rights as
the office carrier? I think that
every housewife who signed an MIRA
card, should make a protest or quit
the Star till they are fair with all
the boys.
And as far as the people who
! don't want to be awakened, let
| them move out to Crown Hill or
Memorial Park. I rather like to
hear the boys call out their papers,
hear the factory whistles blow, see
the smoke roll up, and all the hub

big city. I even like to see a police

Charles Hooper writes that he is

Mr.. Hooper whether it wouldn't be
far better to drink of the water now

deadly poisoned water that has been

A few hours after you published
that admirable editorial THAT Aw-
full SMELL DR.. Herman Morgan of
the city board Of health and the
Kingan company officials rushed
into print with statements blaming
the whole thing on the government
MIRA, if you please!
Of course, they had to present
some sort of an alibi. To my per-
sonaI knowledge, however, as life
long resident Of indianapolis, this
awful stencil coming from Kingan's
has been in the air ever cince L can
remember. Everybody knows that.
No city official ever has exhibited
the courage or determination to
eliminate this evil until The Times
comes along and in one pungent,
efficient editorial starts them run
ming for cover. I think DR.. Morgan
and the Kingan officials owe the
government an apology for their
insinuationS.

evenings the smell at times is al
NEST unbearable. God help the

In your Message Center I have
read a dozen or more articles about
the firemen's rights, yet all this
talk is of personal interest to only
few.
Let me give you subject that is
of vital interest to every farmer
and laboring man, and that is CO.
operation from producer to con-
sumner. Every village or city easily
can establish such an organization.
The farmers and city consumers are
each to be an equal owner. In the
first place you should own your own
buildings and build them, rather
than buy out some other person.
Then what are you going to put
into these buildings? Let us cut
this short by saying, everything
possible. Grocery, grist mill, bakery,
milk distributing association, churn-
ing plant, ice cream factory, cheese
factory and condensary, canning
factory, poultry, egg, feed grinder,
feed mixer, coal yard, lumber, gas
and oil and several thousand other
items.
Here are a few of the advantages.

COMMON SENSE

CENATOR WILLIAM E. BORAH usually can
be counted on to contribute a. note of
genuine common sense to the discussion of a
problem on international relations, and he
seems to have done so in connection with the
current Cuban question.
The senator proposes simply this: That
Americans in Cuba whose lives are ENDANGERED
by the turmoil of revolution be evacuated bv
this government until the danger period is
over. 1t would be no more difficult to do
that than it would be to land sailors and
marines to protect them, and it would have
an infinitely better effect on our relations with
Latin America generally.
Furthermore, it would give the Cubans a.
better chance to pick government that they
themselves wanted and not just a government
that would suit American financial and indus
trial interests.
The government at Washington has made
it pretty clear that if it has to intervene it
will do SO to protect lives rather than property.
Evacuation would protect the lives better than
intervention. Why not try it?

THE ALL-AMERICAN CANAL

TO OLDER residents of Imperial Val
ley, the All-American canal project
is as well known and understood as the
route from their homes to their work.
There are many new arrivals in the
valley, however, who may be pretty
much at sea regarding the canal. They
hear discussions about the canal on all
sides, they read about it in the papers,
but as the saying goes, much Of It IS
Greek" to them.
In a general way they may know
from the name of the project that II
concerns a canal in Imperial Valley,
but even the name All-American can
be misleading to a newcomer. 1t might
mean built entirely by Americans, for
instance, instead of meaning canal
built within the confines OF the United
States.
The desirability of such canal may
never have been brought to their atten-
ton. They may not even know that at
present all of our water is delivered to
US through Mexico.
To acquaint newcomers with all
phases of the canal, what it is, why it
is, where it is, what it will do and every
other angle of the project, The Press
plans a series of articles of which this
the canal will not be attempted until
tomorrow's article.
There will be much to be said about
the canal, though an effort will be made
to keep the articles as simple and as
brief as possible.
Any who hope to find criticism Of the
canal are forewarned that they are
doomed to disappointment. There are
no arguments against the project.
1t is something with which every resi-
dent of Imperial Valley should be IA
miliar and which he should be able to
discuss and explain intelligently. 1t is
a project of as much Importance to the
southwest as Boulder dam or Muscle
Shoals might be to their communities.
In fact, it is part of the Boulder dam
project, authorization for the dam and
canal having been granted by congress
in the Swing-J ohnson bill.
The All-American canal-"What 1t
Is"-wiil be the opening article of the
series tomorrow.

The
DANGER OF
CONSTIPATION
Delicious Cereal Overcomes
This Condition Safely and
Pleasantly

The first signs Of constipation
may be headaches, tired feelings,
sallow compilations, sleeplessness,
loss of appetite. If neglected, con-
stipation may seriously impair
health. .
Today, you can Danish constipa-
ton by simply eating a delicious
cereal. Laboratory tests show that
Kellogg's ALL-BRAN provides "bulk"
to exercise the intestines, and vita
min B to further aid regular habits.
ALL-BRAN is also a good source Of
iron for the blood.
This "bulk" in ALL-BRAN is gentle
in action similar to leafy vegetables.
Within the body, it forms a soft
mass, and gently clears out the in
testinal wastes.
Two tablespoonfuls daily will
overcome most types of common
constipation. If not relieved this
way, see your doctor.
Enjoy ALL-BRAN as a cereal, or
use in cooking. Appetizing recipes
on the red-and-green package. Sold
by all grocers. Made by Kellogg in

The worries of government Off
Gals are many and varied. One of
the difficulties is getting their
names spelled right in the news
papers.
Rep. Peyser, Dem, N. Y, worked
for weeks sponsoring the Wagner
employment agency bill when it
came over from the senate and
finally succeeded in getting recog-
milton and having the measure
called the Wagner-Peyser bill.
Senator Wagner, Dem, N. Y, has
been working on the bill for four
years and the bill has come to be
regarded in the capital as his par
ticular property. Consequently,
most Of the reporters referred to 1t
simply as the Wagner bill.
One reporter with flair for &C
curacy reported TO his paper, how
ever. that the Wagner-Peyser bill
had been passed.
The next day Peyser appeared IN
