THE LAUGH is ON US

Jesse L. LIVERMORE, Spectator who
~ holds the title of the boy plunger of Wall
Street." went into bankruptcy early this sum-
mer. Now he has paid off his 100000 debts
and has a comfortable fortune for himself.
Honest toll and careful frugality have res
cued many a man from financial disaster. In
this case. however, it was a combination Of
the drought and the Chicago wheat pit that
did the trick. Mr.. Livermore played the mar
ket in wheat, and rode up with the rising
prices. The result was very tidy profit in
deed.
The ordinary citizen is occasionally bit
puzzled as to the exact nature of the social
service which is performed by the specula-
tor in commodities. This feat of Mr.. Liver
mores. however gratifying it may be to that
gentleman and to his creditors, will do little
to clear up such confusion.

For ALL MOTORISTS

THE warning Of President Henry Of the
l. American Automobile Association is for
all motorists.
In the next few days, he points out 23,5oo,-
600 children will go back to school, multiplying
the need for more cautious driving. About
100000 Of these children will be going to
school the first time, risking the terrible haz-
ards of modern traffic
While there has been an alarming increase
in number of automobile casualties in the last
year, the number of school children killed and
injured has declined. But this apparently is
due, not so much to more careful motoring
as to the protective measures taken by the
schools and the children Safety instruction
classes and schoolboy traffic patrols have kept
more children out of the NAV of traffic.
Motorists must do their share.

INDIANAPOLIS STRIKE

INDIANAPOLIS is one Of the battlefronts
in Americas giant textile strike. Amid
varying claims. impartial observers say that
co per cent o: the Indianapolis Bleaching Com
pany's employees are out on strike.
But this is not TO draw word pictures Of
the troubles and ominous results that both
sides in the bitter strike fear
Indianapolis part Of the strike has been
peaceful. thanks to an attitude Of common
sense on the part OF both the plant manager
and the strike leaders.
Charles A. Young manager OF the plant,
has conducted his dealings with the strikers
on a dignihed plane. He has not attempted
TO threaten. caiole or intimidste them. ac-
cording 70 the reports that have emerged
from the scene Of the strike.
And the strikers. on their side. have con-
Quoted themselves likewise with dignity and
restraint. They have been picketing the Indi-
annapolis plant the way pcketing should be
conducted. II they have added more workers
70 their lines. as they appear TO have done.
they have done it without violence. without
stone throwing. without sluggings and beatings.
The Indianapolis Times sees the local strike
situation as a friendly dispute between the
employer and the employe. We hope sincerely
that both parties reach an early agreement,
that the Indianapolis Bleaching Company.
when it does resume unlimited operation. will
take back the leaders in the strike with no ami
mostly; and that all future disputes can be
settled in the same friendly manner in which
the first days of the strike have been con-
Quoted. Even better, the peaceful method of
this strike may very well branch out into what
eventually may become a round-table confer
ence for both parties. making strikes unneces-
sary.

DEGREES COMPLAINING
BY MONEYED CLASS
Bv Sherman Long.

BY Sherman Long.
Since the beginning of the de-
preston there has been consider
able misunderstanding between
those whose diSintegration has
been practically inevitable, and the
allies in the financial stratum just
above them. 1t seems to me that
the latter have failed to under
stand or sympathize with the finan-
cial plight of the less fortunate
one.
There is one class of persons who
boast they are valuable and promi-
nent taxpaying citizens. This, to
be sure, is worthy Of consideration,
cut remember the old philosophy,
When thou dost an aim sound
not a trumpet"
They have ignored this bit Of
advice and have engaged in gen.
eral gossip. They toot their trum-
pet to the tune of we are paying
exorbitant sums in taxes for de-
generate buns"
1t is their desire that the relief
workers approach them with fear
and trembling, falling PROSTATE at
the seat of mercy, merely because
the generous philanthropy Of the
financial barons has prompted them
to allow a few members of the
producing class to work for mea-
ger wage, so as to enable them to
acquire a limited amount Of ne
cessities of which the same class
had just previously produced by
their labor power.
Then the squawking moguls shrek
and bemoan their fate because they
are feeding and caring for the I'M
employed. This reminds the writer
of a musicians wife who sold a
rare old violin which belonged to her

PRAISES ARTICLE BY
HERBERT HOOVER

By S. o. S.
have just finished reading for
mer President Herbert Hoovers ar
ticle entitled "A Challenge to Lib
erty." This is indeed a patriotic ut
terance of a great man who has
been smeared and slandered TO a
greater degree than any national
hero in our history.
When 1 read this splendid ar
ticle I thought of the boy reared on
an Iowa farm, who, by industry,
thrift and ability, became the
greatest engineer in the world I
thought of the man who fed the
people of Belgium, the man Wood
row Wilson appointed food adminis-
traitor in 1917 and the man who
became President, only to have
worldwide depression to face when
he had set up as his ideal-the abol-
ishment of poverty.
Today he rises from the dignified
silence which he has maintained
since his retirement to fight for the
preservation Of American liberty.
The Constitution which he up
holds places emphasis on human
rights. Under the New Deal, mo-
nopolies and big businesses have
been favored, while the small bust
ness man and the common man
have suffered. Millionaires can buy
security. The common man has
security only because he is protected
by the Constitution.

story. They asked for the check-of system,
a universal wage scale. recognition for collect
i've bargaining Of their two-year-old union.
They lost the first two demands. They won par
tial recognition Of their union, but no formal
union contract.
The net result is that the employees have
made progress in collective bargaining and
peaceful settlement of disputes.
There is perhaps degree Of unintentional
humor in the company's recognition Of the
right of employees or their representatives to
carry disputes to the National Labor Rela-
tons Board ito the extent provided by Law"
Although the law is the law anyway, it is not
without value to have the Aluminium Company
recognize" the law.

WHICH WAY, SENATOR?

CENATOR ARTHUR ROBINSON is dis
~ turbed about New Deal policies He is
particularly upset concerning the NRA and
the AAA Again and again in recent weeks he
has shuddered in public horror because he
believed that these two measures unquestion-
ably were leading us on the road to Moscow"
Careful scrutiny of the senator's record at
the last session of congress reveals an interest
ing fact.
Lii Arthur" voted FOR both of these
meaSuresl
Usually extremely vocal he registered not
one word of protest either on the floor of the
senate or elsewhere.
Were you honest and sincere, senator,
when you cast your vote in favor of the NRA
and the AAA? If these recovery measures
really are leading us into Communism why
did you vote for them?
Are you honest and sincere now, senator, in
your attacks on these laws?
The senator of course, will make no answer
to these questions any more than he replied
when we asked him frankly what his rela-
tions had been with the Ku-Klux Khan and
what. if anything, D. C. Stephenson, had to
do with his original appointment to the senate.
Voters. however, will have no trouble in
guessing the answer. The senator either must
have failed to study these two laws when he
voted for them or he must have acted against
his own convictions.
Otherwise how can he now consistently
declare that the NRA and the AAA are lead
ing us into Communism?

THE STATE FAIR

TNDIANA'S eighty-second annual state fair
Il came to a close last night.
1t was a successful fair. Few have been
more successful. Hoosierdoms greatest yearly
show started with a great squirt and had it not
been for bad weather conditions the latter part
of the week the exposition would have cracked
every all-time attendance mark.
The state fair, then, virtually passed the
1929 boom day mark Exhibitors were unani-
nous in declaring that the fair presaged the
return Of business normally.
The state fair was a great show. To the
state officials who managed it belong praise.
But the state fair was more than just show.
1t seemed. to most, to be harbinger of
better day.

HALF-THAWED CREDIT

IIOW the New Deals freedom to survive
was built up on the old orders freedom
TO perish is told graphically in Mr.. Richbergs
fourth report to the President
In his review Of steps taken to relieve
financial preSsures. Mr.. Richberg tells how
home owners have been saved from foreclos-
ures and railroads from receiverships, how
bank deposits have been made secure and the
frozen assets of financial institutions partially
thawed out and made available for productive
use.
Up to Aug. 3. the Home Owners Loan
Corporation lifted the threat OF foreclosure
from $4,000 homes lending sl.29G $4,000 to
that many distressed owners who could not
obtain credit relief elsewhere. Mr.. Richberg
predicted that the same aid will be extended
10 100000 additional home owners in the next
eighteen months. and that the HOLC will be
liquidated without loss to the taxpayers at the
end of eighteen years.
II the Hole had not been created. it is
probable that many Of these home owners
would have been turned out into the streets.
and the banks. insurance companies and other
mortgagors would have been saddled helpleSsly
with debated real estate.
In the ten years ending in December, 1882,
there were II 900 bank failures. The New Deal
was uShered in amid a general bank panic. But
approximately $4,000 900 bank deposits are now
insured-97 per cent to the full amount
through the Federal Deposit Insurance Corpo-
ration. which has assumed insurance liability
IN excess Of $500. 100000. Only five insured
banks have closed this year and the FDIC is
paying off the depositors.
The Reconstruction Finance Corporation.
disbursing $3.50 100000 out of total OF nearly
$4,000 100000 authorized. has given relief TO
railroads. banks. insurance companies and all
types Of financial institutions. 1t has provided
funds for self-nquidating projects helped TO
lquidate the assets Of nearly 800 closed banks
and strengthened the capital structures Of
hundreds OF operating banks. Recently the
RFC started making direct loans to industries
which have been unable to borrow from the
reiuvenated financial institutions.
This is only part of the picture. Govern
ment credit has also been pumped into the
debated private financial structure through
the Federal Home Loan Bank system, the
Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corpora
ton. Farm Credit Administration Commodity
Credit Corporation and Federal Housing Ad-
ministration.

HOSIERY MILLS STRIKE
AFTERMATH DESCRIBED
BV a Reader,

BY Reader.
I am one Of the many interested
in the strike that took place at
hosiery mills here. l have over
heard conversations concerning
treatment of employees.
The way 1 understood the con-
tract that was printed in your paper
is this-that each employe would be
taken back except those who COM
mitted violence and work would be
divided equally.
It seems that isn't being done
or anything like it in the scanning
and boarding departments. Why?
The ones who stayed in never did
get full time and why should they
now?
For the last two years none Of
them has averaged more than thirty
hours a week. I have friends who
work there and know.
Why must two girls run the seam
ing and boarding departments? Both
departments only are allowed to
work every other week and if the
girls who stayed in were not such
penny grabbers they would be will
ing to divide the work as was done
before the strike, which might help
to avoid another one. If the strik-
ers had not voted 70 go back as
they came out with the understand
ing that they would work as before,
would these girls be working now?
Probably not.

By Critic.
At present we have plague OF
politicians who vehemently de-
nounce any form of government
which endangers the principles OF
the Constitution and who make
unfounded predictions of disaster
if refutation or modification OF
this document is affected.
A survey of the colleges how
ever, indicates that the oncoming
generation is not swayed by a flow
of oratorial babble, for in this
critical age every assertion must
have a proof. The fossils brand
those who disagree with them as
red radicals.
The rational person realizes
that it is illogical to suppose that
social and economic progress can
function normally under the limi-
tations of a document which was
written in a bygone era by men
totally ignorant of national evo-
luton.
Evidently, we have as unit
progressed industrially since its
origin, also we have retrogessed
in ethical standards in that legal
enactments permit ultra rich, I'M
employed, criminalities and con-
