There is, under Emergency

pretty regulations. We're here
to LIVE. And how can you
live unless you move with Life,
who is herself the greatest eX-
perimenter, the most colossal
blunderer?
Every rock and twig and liv-
ing body bears the record of
countless formulas that didn't
work to the one that did-yet
the Old Gal goes whooping
right along! If you're wise,
you'll whoop with her.
No man seeks more passion
ately for perfection than great
scientist, yet Darwin cried, Il
love fools experiments. I am
always making them" Darwin
was following Life and he knew
that Life's trail led through pud-
dies as well as through flower
beds.
He loved fools experiments"
because he knew that fools were
often humble and hungry
enough to take brave risks
which complacent "wise folk"
refused. Fools dared to make
mistakes.
Made a mistake? Then
swab up the wreckage, perk up
your ears and start in again.
If there are amends to be
made. make 'em. Tears to be
Wept?
Spill 'em, and get it over
with. But, while you're paying
and weeping, still be proud and
grateful that you have the
makings in you of adventure,
even though it comes high.
Remember, no matter what
you've lost, no matter what it
cost, you can be the wiser and
stronger for that experience, if
you'll have it so.
Success is a pleasing expert
ence, but you'll learn more
about yourself, your world and
your neighbor by one honest
blunder than by a thousand
triumphs.
And never prolong remorse.
You've no more right to spend
your time weeping over your
self than you have to indulge
in any other form of self-grati-
fication.
Egotism is egotism, whether
you say it with sniffles or
smiles, and most professional
penitents are just cowardly
loafers who love the spotlight.
Life needs action! Get go
ing! Get going, no matter how
often you blunder-and thank
God you have what it takes.

violence, counseling his follow"
ers to suffer and endure as the
only possible way of conquer
ing; preaching that violence
had never won a lasting victory
in the history of the world.
He denounced medical science
as quackery and black magic
hospitals as instruments of the
devil and modern industry as
slavery for the helpless. Re-
version to primitive habits and
customs has been the heart of
his creed.
Specifically he called upon
all Indians to refuse to wear
factory made cotton goods, and
to insist upon having the
coarse-woven Hindu fabric;
urged that the Indians refuse
to buy anything of foreign and
modern manufacture. and to
rest content with what they
themselves could produce in
the traditional ways of their
ancestors; demanded that In
dians surrender all titles and
honorary offices and resign
from seats in any governmental
bodies; counseled them to re-
fuse to attend any government
functions, official or social;
ordered that their hildren
should gradually be withdrawn
from the public schools and de-
manded that lawyers and liti-
gants must boycott British
courts. All Indians should re-
fuse any military, clerical or
labor assistance to British rule.
The danger to British rule
and to peace lies in this: that
it does not require the actual
will of the people to start a rev.
olution and carry it to success.
All that is necessary is a gov
ernment full of goodwill and
hesitancy and unwilling to take
sufficiently drastic measures to
keep order, a certain amount
of hooliganism, decentralization
of the services from within, and
contempt for law and the rul-
ing authority.
Gandhi has brought about in
India about all of the condi-
tionS unusually preliminary to
a revolution. Revolutions in
these modern days are not Spon-
taneous outburSts on the part
of the masses, but the work OF
skilled agitators. The Bolshe-
visits of Russia have worked
along those lines and the prin-
ciple is well understood in III
dia, whether or not there is any
connection between the Soviets
and Gandhi.
Without any question India is
more restless, more OF a powder
magazine than it has been at
any time since the Sepoy mu-
tiny, and this is so, it is widely
charged, because Of the sophlS-
tries and subtleties preached by
Gandhi and the hatred he has
engendered against the British,
the white race and modern CIV
ilization.

The Final Court
An Appeal to Mr.. Ickes


The fact that 50 many agencies, both District and
Federal are involved should not be permitted longer to
prevent the Strengthening out of of the ctys most
important thoroughfares.
For many years efforts have been made to eliminate
the "og' in Street at Seventh and Ninth Streets.
The existence of this nuisance has been put up with
long enough It has place in any part of any city
and certainly it has not right to existence in the heart
Of the National Capital.
No one condones its existence now There is unanim
ity of belief that the condition should be remeded
BUT THAT UNANIMITY OF BELIEF HAS BEEN
THWARTED BECAUSE OF THE MULTIPLICITY
OF OFFICES, BUREAUS AND COMMISSIONS
WHICH MUST MOVE BEFORE ANYTHING CAN BE
ACCOMPLISHED.
While there general agreement that the condition
should be eliminated the many governmental bureaus
involved have managed to prevent action by dsagreeng
over minor and unessental details.
SEVERAL PLANS HAVE BEEN ADVANCED FOR
CURING THE SITUATION. BY DISAGREEING
AMONG THEMSELVES AS TO THE EXACT PLAN
TO FOLLOW, THE MULTIPLE AGENCIES HAVE
PREVENTED THE ACCOMPLISHMENT OF ANY ONE
OF THE PLANS.
There is agency, in fact, who cut the
knot and put through the unanimously desired project
That man is Secretary of the Interior Ickes
Mr.. Ickes, we know, is working hard and accomplish
ing much It to be imposition to poster him
with what must to him to be very minor affair

New Move Insures Elimination

New Move Insures Elimination
Appointment of agency designed to coordinate the
various plans and projects for elimination of alley dwell
ings in Washington WILL it is hoped, sound the death
knell of one of the citys darkest spots.
For decades pubicspirted citizens have fought and
sriven to do away with conditions which palpable
disgrace.
: On many occasions they have seemed to be within
striking distance of their goal only to be defeated by
series of unfortunate circumstances.
The action of President Roosevelt in appointing the
agency gives rise to renewed hope that the situation
will at last be met with and conquered.
THERE IS PLENTY OF LAW ON THE STATUTE
BOOKS TO ACCOMPLISH THE DESIRED PURPOSE
THERE IS PLENTY OF MONEY IN SEVERAL DIFF
FERENT FUNDS TO MAKE DEFINITE ACTION
POSSIBLE.
The President has placed the duty Of executing the
laws and spending the money upon the shoulders of Com
missioner Melvin G. Hazen COL Horatio B. Hackett of
the Public Works Administration and Mr. Arno B. Cam
nerer of the National Capital Park and Planning Com
mission.
THESE MEN ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE CoNDI-
TI0N WHICH IT NOW BECOMES THEIR DUTY TO
ELIMINATE. THEY KNOW OF THE sQUALOR AND
THE DARKNESS OF THE CITY'S ALLEYS THEY
KNOW OF THE RAPID SPREAD OF DISEASE
AMONG THOSE CHARTERED IN THE ALLEYS.
They know too, that the alley property which is now
detracton from the beauty and dignity of the National
Capital can be converted into an asset.
The people of Washington look to the agency with
confidence that it will tackle what is admittedly diff
cult problem and put into effect practical solution
The job cannot be done night It will take years
and years. in fact the law does not contemplate that
can be done before 1914.
Nevertheless the newly appointed agency demon
strate that it intends to proceed with all proper exped
tion. It and undoubtedly will unite the three lines
along which action proceed if it is to be successful
IT IS TO BE HOPED THAT THE NEW AGENCY
WILL REALIZE THAT THE DISTRICT OF CoLUM-
BIA IS PRIMARILY THE UNIT CONCERNED WITH
THE ELIMINATION OF ALLEY DWELLINGS. TO
THE EXTENT THAT THE PROBLEM IS PRIMAR-
lily THE DISTRICTS, THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT
SHOULD BE GIVEN THE MAJOR OPPORTUNITY IN
SEEKING ITS SOLUTION.
The part of the Federal agencies involved s of course
important and the District welcomes the cooperation
which it apparently is about to receive.

The Greatest ShO7V
On Earth
By lohn Snure, Jr.

Having taken no vacation last
year, T. D. Webb, director Of
the Home Loan Bank Board,
has left town for an extended
holiday.
Senator Alva B. Adams, of
Colorado. is in town and inter
ested in the affairs of the sugar
beet people of his State.
Back from Texas, Representa-
tive o. H. Cross is telling folks
that the people of the Lone
Star State are very much in
favor of the President and that
their enthusiasm is far from
waning.
Lewis B. Schwellenbach, of
Seattle, Democratic nominee
for the Junior senatorship of
Washington, was a pupil of
Senator Clarence C. Dill, whose
seat he is seeking now that
Dill has retired.
Schwellenbach was taught
English and public speaking by
his well-known instructor.
Advocates of better care for
school children in the District
are much interested in the can
didacy of Gov. A. Harry Moore,
of New Jersey, for the Senate
seat now occupied by Senator
Hamilton F. Kean.
Efforts of Moore to better
conditions for school children in
New Jersey, might be reflected
here, they believe, if the Demo
cratic nominee wins.
