INVESTIGATING Mr.. LUBIN

When the worm turns, or the shoe gets
on the other foot, or an opportunity is
given for the last laugh, it Is only hu-
man nature to get a keen relish out of 1t,
and Imperial Valley will probably do
just that with reference to the proposed
investigation of Mr.. Simon J. Lubin.
Mr.. Simon J. Lubin is one of three
gentlemen who investigated Imperial
Valleys alleged labor troubles last Feb
ruary and turned out a report that I'M
perial Valley had not been the least bit
nice or polite to a bunch of Communists,
REDS, Radicals" and members of the
American Civil Liberties Union (who are
NOT Communists) which had been STIR
ing up trouble here.
In fact Imperial Valley got downright
rough with some of the intruders, fined
some of them, put some more in jail and
gave others excellent advice to the effect
that they should give their feet chance
to get eXerciSe-away from Imperial
Valley.
While noted for its hospitality. Imper-
ial Valley decided that it was not going
to be like the Bedouin and the camel.
1t was not going to be kicked out of its
own house by the interlopers.
Mr.. Simon j. Lubin and his two aides
In their report seemed more concerned
about the injustice" done to the Com
munists, "Reds" and Radicals" than
they were about any injustice done to the
bona fide residents and businessmen of
Imperial Valley The report showed a
decided sympathy for the former.
Now request has been made that Mr..
Simon j. Lubin be investigated by the
post office department for an alleged
violation of the franking privilege 1t
is charged that copies of a speech he
made before the Commonwealth club of
San Francisco, on conditions in Imper-
ial Valley, were sent out through the
mails and under government frank to-
gether with copies of the report which
Mr.. Simon J. Lubin and his aides turned
into the government about Imperial Val
ley.
Of course Imperial Valley was irritat-
ed by Mr.. Simon j. Lubin's report and
the irritation seems justified in the light
of developments in another investiga-
ton being conducted by General Pelham
ID. GlaSSford. Whereas Mr. Simon J.
Lubin and his aides seemed chiefly in
terested in getting statements from the
Communists, Reds" and Radicals and
paid but scant attention to Imperial Val
leys businessmen and residents, General
Glassford has held "open house" listen
ing to all who cared to talk to him and
carefully weighing all the information
he has accumulated. His investigation is
not complete, but it has resulted in
strong condemnation of the activities of
the organizations about which Mr. Simon
j. Lubin and his aides seemed so solicit
Gus.
1t is still to be proved, of course, that
Mr.. Simon ]. Lubin bused the govern
ment franking privilege in order to dis
seminate inaccurate and unfair informa-
tion about Imperial Valley.
Imperial Valley hopes that the in

So Buster sprinkled red pepper in
the flowers, taking care to sift it
down inside the blossoms where his
father wouldn't see it. Then the
rabbit boy hid in the bushes. Pretty
soon along came Uncle Wiggily and
he picked a large bouquet of the
pepper flowers, not knowing they
were hot with sneezes. He didn't
smell them himself.
"Ha! Hal" laughed Buster as he
hid in the bushes where his daddy
could not see him. "Ha! Hal"
That's what 1 say Ha! Hal"
laughed a voice behind the little
rabbit boy, and out popped the Bob
Cat. "Ha! Hal I have you'll" mewed
the Bad Chap. Then Buster just
came bursting through the bushes
crying:
Daddy! Daddy! Save me from
the Bob Cat. He's after me-"
"Oh, my goodness" shouted Mr..
Longears in great surprise as he saw
his little boy being chased by the
Bad Chap. Then, having nothing
else to throw, Mr. Longears threw
the bouquet of pepper flowers into
the very face Of the Bob Cat who
sneezed: "Ker choo! Ker zool Ker
fool" and ran away. Uncle Wiggily
was more surprised than ever, not
knowing what it was all about. And
what happened next III tell you to-
morrow in the story Of Uncle Wig
gily and the Mouse flowers. But

"Oh, they are just lovely" said
Mrs. Longears, taking a long smell

WASHINGTON, May 4.-Post-
master General James A. Farley,
famous in capital circles for his luck
in picking winners at the race track,
has revealed the secret of his sue
cess-play a hunch.
The genial boss of the mAils
would like to make a selection for
the derby, but is handicapped by
not having an entry list with jockeys
and still more important the own
ers' colors. An example of all points
to be studied in picking a winner
was revealed recently by one Of Far
ley'S assistants.
The postmaster general was
forced to leave the capital to make
a speech. He was sorry to miss a
program at Havre De Grace, but
found an assistant who would place
la bet. Farley groped for a "hunch," !"
with this result:
Take the entry list and go
through it until a horse with an
| Irish name appears. Then if the
jockey has any green in his colors,
bet to win"
That day De Valera was running
and carrying enough green to meet
the requirements. The assistant
placed a bet for Farley, but refused
to risk his own money on an out
sider
Farley's choice went to the post
neglected by the multitude, but he
thundered across the wire an easy
winner.
The price went up on the board:
De Valera, S18 to win.

WOODIN A MARTYR

A year ago the name of William H
Woodln was on every tongue Report of
his death last night may find many ask
ing, "Who was he?" Such is life, or
fame.
WI am H. Wodin stepped into the
post secretary of the treasury at one
of the most critical times in the entire
history of the United States.
He didn't want the honor of cabinet
position He was independently wealthy
and more inclined to the artistic than to
the political affairs of life
AT the call of his friend, Franklin D.
Roosevelt, who was to be President of the
United States, Woodin accepted the
grave task imposed upon him even while
he knew that the ravages of disease had
numbered his days.
The day his chief was inaugurated ev-
cry bank in the country was closed and
remained closed for 10 days. Through
out that period and for a long time
thereafter, everything that Woodn said
or did was news for the world. Just as
he had answered the call to duty be-
cause 1t was duty, so too he did not spare
his rapidly dwindling strength, but
plunged into the heavy work at hand, de-
voting Is and 20 hours day to the ma
tion's tangled financial affairs.
For eight months he grimly hung to
his post in the face of advancing death
before the insistence of the President
forced him to take a rest. For two more
months he was on leave of absence be-
fore relinquishing his post the first of
the year.
He tried courageously to beat his way
back to health but his devotion to his
country, and to the call of duty had taken
too much Of his vitality.
Last night William H. Woodin died, a
martyr to his country as truly as any
soldier fallen in battle. While there are
such men to serve, the country need not
fear its enemies, without or within.
