MAN is the only animal that
1V1 continues to take revenge
upon whipped enemy. We are
not really noble creatures so long
as We pound the fellow who al
ready is PROSTATE, and that's
what we do after We become vic
tors in any great war. The long
shameful enmity between France
and Germany is an ignoble story
of mans inability to think wise
ly upon a subject so vital to his
own and his children's welfare.
Do you know Vera Brittain's
definition of war? 1t, I think,
touches the truth. She says /:
War, especially if one is the
winner, is such bad form. There
is a strange lack Of dignity in
conquest; the dull accomplishing
endurance Of defeat appears more
worthy Of congratulation. Modern
war is nothing but a temporary
but how us-forgetfulness
by neighbors that they are gentle
men"
All the great writer's of the earth
and how many Of them there
are-send forth a new challenge
to the truly brave. Are the de-
cent, kind. intelligent men and
women courageous enough to die
for peace?

LATE HOUR DANGERS

ONE of the odd things which the Ohio
~ state highway department has discov
cred is that the accident rate on country
roads is highest between the hours of 3 and
a. m-precisely the moment when the
stream of traffic is at its thinnest
Part of this is due to the fact that a GER
tain percentage of intoxicated motorists is
found on the highways at that hour: and an
intoxicated motorist who is out driving at
$3.50 in the morning is apt to be very badly
intoxicated indeed.
Partly also, it is due to the toll of fatigue.
Motorists frequently fall asleep at the wheel,
in the course of an all-night drive. with dis
astrous results
And partly, too it is due to the fact that
the empty roads tempt many drivers to in
dulge in dangerously high speeds
In any case, the survey is worth a little
thought. All of U.S. at one time or another.
have occasion to drive all night.
When we do, we might remember profit
ably that those pre-dawn hours. when the
roads are clear and driving seems so simple
are really the most dangerous of the day.

into the hands Of the masses to enable them
to go into the market as adequate purchasers
of American products. CD Too much money
of every sort went into the debts which grew
out of wild speculation and the orgy Of in
stallment buying.
The current and relatively superficial
monetary reforms will have at best only
very slight effect in eliminating these two
basic evils Of the old order.
The gold buying policy, which at present
figures so prominently in the bread lines. can
hardly achieve anything Of fundamental and
far reaching import. At best, it can only
raise domestic prices, thus providing a mild
infiationist measure. But rising prices, unac-
companied by comparable increases in wages
and farm income, will only further check the
buying activity of the masses.
Even the debtor classes will profit only
slightly by a price rise. They will gain, in
sofar as they pay off some Of their debt in
terms Of cheaper money, but their living costs,
which absorb far larger proportion of their
income, will increase in direct proportion to
any increase in prices
Therefore, a decisive rise in domestic COM
modify prices would not go to the bottom of
our present industrial impasse. But, as the
editor Of Facts for Workers does well to point
out, it is very doubtful whether the present
gold buying policy can even produce any such
spectacular price rise as is hoped for
Too, little newly mined gold is produced
in the United States to make its purchase by
the RFC of any material significance Main
dependence is placed upon buying gold in the
world market. To get this gold we send dollars
abroad This increases the number of dollars
in circulation abroad and thus depresses the
value Of the dollar in the foreign exchange.
1t is expected that this will then boost our
foreign trade, since American goods can be
bought more cheaply by foreigners when meas
ured in terms of our cheapened dollar.
pound or a franc or a mark will buy more in
terms of American dollars This increased de-
mand for American products, raw and manu-
featured, will, it is hoped, boost the prices of
such products in the United States
In theory, this is probably sound But the
results if obtained in practice, are bound to
be extremely slow in manifesting themselves
in a period Of economic depression. Moreover,
If success appears on the horizon in the shape
OF foreign buying on large scale, the foreign
countries which see their home market thus
placed in jeopardy, likely are to protect them
selves and upset the applicant through the
imposition of high tariffs and embargoes.
Above ALL the uncertainty and indecisive-
ness of the gold buying policy possesses most
Of the disadvantages of overinfation without
the positive stimulus of the latter to feverish
industrial revival. i-I4 u,
Had the gold buying policy been kept
quietly in its place as a subordinate feature of
broad campaign against the depression. it
might have achieved some of the good results
expected without producing the evils which
have followed upon the grotesque exaggera-
ton of its role both by the administration
and some of the American press

AVOIDING DISILLUSION

ONE thing. at least, occurs to any one who
~ medtates over the tremendous federal
budget that recently was unveiled in Wash
lngton. 1t is extremely unlikely that it will
contain any unpleasant surprises for anybody.
BY using the lowest estimate of govern
ment receipts and the highest estimate of
government expenditures, the President gave
us as dark picture as he possibly could have
given.
If everything goes badly, things will be
just as he presented them; if, on the other
hand, the government spends a little less
than the maximum, or receives a little more
than the minimum, they will be a good deal
better.
Probably it is just as we'll that we look at
the darker side first. Whatever happens. we
at least have no false hopes.
The governments finances for the coming
year won't disillusion us. The only possible
surprise will be pleasant one

eight specks on the vast blue map of the vast

separated for few hours from the flock, and
its commander was so little worried that he
turned the controls over to an assistant while
he shaved himself. To these Vikings of the

the rest of us, was just "a routine hop"
The navy's feat is being heralded as a DEM

Here's to Mr.. Foo

BY An Old Fox.
In the last few weeks I have
read a lot of twaddle in your
paper, of which am a subscriber,
about the so-called fox hunts.
When we take into consideration
how little the average person
knows about the habits of the red
fox, these letters really are anus
ing. If they had followed the
hounds as long as I have-for
more than forty years-in the
chase of the red fox they not
only would know that he is
the most beautiful of our four
footed, fur bearing animals and
that he is the deadly enemy of
the snake, the weasel, the rat, the
beetle and the chinch bug. The
agricultural department at Wash
ington says the red fox is worth
at least $50 year to the farmer
on whose farm he lives.
will vouch the information
that there have been more
chickens killed in Indiana or
elsewhere by hogs, weasel, opos-
sum, and especially by cats than
has been put at the door of the
red fox and I say to you that
the roaming cat-generally termed
as the woods cat" is the worst
varmint we have in this state.
People of superstition carry cats
along the road and dump them
out and they become a death
dealing varmint to chicken roosts,
young animals and all kinds of
birds. They live in the ground
and hunt only at night. Many a
night when coon hunting our dogs
have freed a cat and dog, or most
of the night dogs, would rather
run an old cat than anything
else. I always shot every one we
freed. They are a menace to
young animals and bird life.
There are two kind of foxes
in Indiana-the red and the gray.
The gray fox is a skulker-a
mischief maker "a loafer "a
thief. The red fox is different
type of animal and the most
valuable fur bearing animal we
have. AS soon as you scare a
gray fox he goes into his den, but
a red fox will stay on top of the
ground until every bit of his
vitality is gone. AS we say, a
real red fox won't hole"
There is a difference between a
fox hunter and a fox chaser. The
fox chasers run a red fox for the

A Woman's Viewpoint
By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

WE have had countless books
w whose heroes died splendid
ly in the cause Of war. Now Sir
Philip Gibbs, reporter on many
desolate battle front, gives us
novel in which the hero dies for
peace-and that, my friends, re-
quires greater courage.
THE Cross Of Peace" is the
novels name. Such title almost
tells its own story-the story of a
French veteran of the war,
wearer Of the Croix de Guerre, the
Distinguished Service Cross, and
the Legion Of Honor ribbon, who.
after a great deal Of fighting for
France, decides to fight for youth
and better world.
Obviously the book is propa-
ganda, but what fine propaganda
And it deals with occurrences so
recent that one feels as if one
might be reading newspaper.
We move to the Rhine country
with the army of occupation. into
a beaten, Inundated Germany.
and we remain to watch a proud,
starved and sullen Germany de-
velop into the half-mad country
Of today.

TIMELY WARNINGS

EMPLOYERS who try to use company
- unions to bludgeon workers into submits
sion or intimidate them by other coercive
methods should heed two recent warnings
One is by Walter c. Teagle of Standard Oil;
the other is by John P. Frey NRA labor
advisory board member and head of the
A. F. of L. metal trades department.
Mr.. Teagle, in his capacity of chairman
of the industrial relations committee of the
business advisory and planning council de-
tends company unions, or "employe repre-
sentation." But ne warns employers that
company unionism must not destroy labor
unionism. If any employer seeks to use en-
plOye representation as means of taking
advantage of his workers "he will find that it
will not work" No wise employer, he says,
has made an effort to weaken the status of
unions in his business"
Mr.. Frey says: With millions still unem-
ployed clamoring for work. and driven by
desperation to work under almost any con-
ditions which will keep them from starvation,
large numbers who are employed have not
dared to oppose anything the employer de-
sired, and employers have taken full advan-
tage of this condition" He adds that company
unions are being put out of business on the
railroads and may nave the same fate in
the manufacturing industries.
The new deal way is the cooperative way
If, instead of dealing with organized
workers as equals. employers resort to CO.
ercion and intimidation they court disaster
and eventual intervention by government.
Humanity is tired of strife Mr.. Teagle
said. 1T long has called for peace-not the
peace imposed by victors upon vanquished
but the reasoned agreement of equals Such
agreements. in the field of industry will go
far to eliminate the wastes inherent in con-
fiict and to build the returning prosperity of
the country on a Arm foundation"

PURER FOODS AND DRUGS

THERE appears to be no major disagree
ment on the proposition that the Pure
Foods and Drugs act should be strengthened
for more adequate consumer protection. The
only question is how drastically the present
law should be changed
The administration proposed a complete
revision Of the law last spring. Immediately
protests arose. not alone from manufacturers
Of foods and drugs, but also from sales and
advertising agencies.
The drug trade proposed its substitute for
the Tugwell bill after heated hearings And
then Senator Copeland, himself doctor, drew
a compromise bill which, he says, retains all
the consumer protection sought in the original
bill, but abandons the more drastic features
Of that measure.
We believe that this is the time to
strengthen the pure food and drugs law.
We likewise believe that the Tugweu bill con-
tanned several doubtful provisions The OBJ
jectives Of that bill-to assure that consumers
will get foods and drugs honestly manufac-
tured, honestly labeled and honestly presented
for sale-can be attained by less drastic
means
All legislation is a matter of compromise;
and revision of the pure food and drugs
law is liable to be the result of agreement be-
tween vigorously contending forces
The honest and intelligent majority of
manufacturers of foods, medicines and CO.'S
metics should realize that revision of the law
to provide adequate protection of consumers
is as important to them as any one else The
dishonest manufacturer and advertiser, unless
curbed, will ruin the reputation of the in
dustry as whole and destroy the market of
the honest majority.

same purpose that a jockey rides
or drives his fine horse. 1t is the
cleanest sport on earth because
no one can buy off red fox to
throw the race or bride an old
hound to play crooked. If some
of these wiseacres who know so
little about the livelihood of
red fox would encourage their
boys to go out in the woods with
an old hound in quest of an "old
red fox" it is my opinion those
boys would be better off than
loaf1ng around some gambling den
or other places frequented by
young people. I know I rather
would have my sons and my
daughters in company with an
old lop-eared hound than some of
the folks they keep company
with.
Now, Mr.. Fox Driver, when you
get out with the killing instinct
in your heart, I want to tell you
that you never get the thief fox
the gray fox, because as soon as
you start your racket, Mr.. Gray
Fox goes into his hole and there
he stays. The red fox stays on
top and if you have fox in the
ring it is ten to one it is a red.
The fox chasers, of course, object
to killing a red fox because that
kills their sport. especially if a
good running fox is killed. so Mr..
Fox Driver, I am going to put you
on to something. There are
$4,000 fox chasers in Indiana
and whenever they hear of one
of these fox drives they attend
and always form one side of the
line and when the roundup is
made if there is a fine red fox in
the circle these fox chaSers open
their side of the line and the re-
suit is that the fox gets away.

HE'S GOING TO

I live outside the city and re-
ceive rather attractive pay check
from an indianapolis merchant, and

me to give up my present residence
and move to the city, as suggested
by the Taxpayer, I really am suf-

right side of the suggestion and am
going to do my best to get affairs
in trim for a move. I'm sure if
can do it others can and will.
