not one affidavit had been pre-
scented. that not one piece Oh
documentary evidence or one let

such person dared voice his OBJ
servation, the crowd would have
beat him up. There you see an
instance Of personal magnetism

type of man attempting that same
stunt might have been run out
of town and chased out of the

DEBTS HANG ON US

Debts of all sorts have hung. themselves around
the American people to the tune of $235,00o,oo0,-
OOO ~ %. g..
Of course, that's uncomfortable, but that is the
pretty pickle that this country has worked itself
around to.
You can tell how much that is per head by divid-
ing 124,O00,0O0 people of America into it.
The greater part of this milestone was picked up
when folks went hay-wire back yonder and thought
the millennium of millions had broken over the cas-
tern hills.
And then when the machinery went into reverse
they were caught with the load and no strength
to carry it with.
Roosevelt's devaluation is aimed to Tighten the
load by increasing the capacity to attack this mon

TREATMENT
rier-J

The objection is frequently raised that capital
punishment does not prevent crime. The answer IS
we don't know, because we never have tried it.
Most states provide for capital punishment for
murder, but they don't execute the murderers i'm
partially and implacably. Now and then some poor
fool is bumped off for MASKING in the head of his
wife in jealous passion, but we cling to the idea
that gangland be reformed by pious prison
workers.
Whether or not capital punishment would deter
the neophyte of gangland from graduating into
full-fedged crimnality, thing is certain: every
gangster dangling at a ropes end or with jolt
of electric juice through his body is one who has
been permanently discouraged from committing
further crime Every one undergoing course in
prison reform is candidate for pardon, parole or
a jail break, and further career of criminal
preying on society.-Omaha World-Herald.

LIVING OFF THE FARM

If agriculture is not merely vocation but way
of lfe then certainly the farmhouse is not merely
the office and cafeteria of great rural factory
but home. Sometimes this seems to have been
forgotten in the mad rush of some farmers to pro-
duce money crops The situation in some OF the
towns of the cotton belt for instance where farm
ers brought in loads of cotton and hauled back
loads of canned milk, fruit and vegetables, meat,
meal and oleomargarne, might have been laugh
able were it not so tragic. To certain extent the
same practices have been followed by farmers
specializing in tobacco wheat, or even dairy prod
uctS. ...
The farm which trucks all its hogs to market
when prices are as low as today and butchers none
for its own use is not home but a factory-and
an Improbable one. The farmer who does not
have an adequate garden and few fruit trees Is
not living but merely existing His family is miss
ing the opportunity of enjoying & bounteous sup
ply of -home-canned and preserved vegetables anal
fruit put up at comparatively little cost, Without
a cellar or storage for home-produced potatoes,
cabbages and the root vegetables, he is missing
much, and that mans store bill is always large.
By buying churn and putting the milk pitcher
back on the table, by killing and curing his own
meat, and otherwise living off his own acres, the
farmer is not only reducing his expenses, but cut
ting down crop surpluses.-Lousvile, KY, Cou-
|rier-Journal. ,... -...

What was it that made Uncle Eli feel that the
depression is now thing of the past? 1t was the
temperance of "spit-curls' among the feminine
gender. Uncle Eli has been through. six depres-

MEN AT TOP HOLD POWER
g.. FOR GOOD
tBY BRUCE CATION

The troubles that afflict the great CITY
Of New York are New York's own concern
Now and then, however, the rest OF inc
country can get an instructive lesson oy
looking at them.
Inst at this moment New York has a new
city administration which actually seems
set to inject a little honesty and determs-
nation into the processes of law enforce
ment. .I....-
It has taken number of steps toward
this goal, the most spectacular beng the
raid on the Welfare Island prison, where
the most appalling conditions of graft,
neglect, and incompetence ever disclosed
in any American prison were revealed.
And the interesting thing about it, all IS
the fact that the authorities seem to nave
very little real trouble in their task OF
showing the underworld who is boss.
They are cracking down on the crooks
the gamblers, the gunner, and the hard
guys with the same police and Inspection
agencies that let these gentry flourish like
the green bay tree under the former ad-
ministration. Changes have been made at
the top, of course, but the rank and lille
remains the same. -.-
A thoughtful citizen who looks about
him and sees how firmly the underworld
can get entrenehed in city's life often
is moved to despair. Gangs, rackets and
corruption exist with the tolerance OF the
police. How, ask the citizen, are you ever
going to smash them without first getting
an entirely new police force? And how
considering all the difficulties, is such :
thing practically possible? -
It isn't possible-but it isn't necessary
either.
o., It's. the attitude at the top that counts
The ordinary policeman, the man who
pounds the pavement and gets the evidence
and makes the pinch, will give Just exactly
:, what is required of him in the way of ser
vice, ...,.,~~.. g.. % ...... .. ~-
=, If little is asked, that's what he'll give
if much is asked, he'll give thatcher
fully and effectively. -....
What we are getting in New York is
simply a large-scale demonstration of this
fact. .......
The same enforcement agencies that
winked at crookedness year ago are
jumping on it with both feet now. 49,
Smashing gangs really is one of the sim
plest of Jobs. A city administration that
really wants to do it can do it. All it needs
to do is tell the cops. ..'.....

Two Of the most sophisticated and
hardest-boiled lovers the screen has
ever revealed appear in the leading

The screen lovers are Paul NUM-
and Glenda Farrell. NUM- is the
managing editor of New York news
paper and Glenda is his star woman
reporter whom he sentences to work
on the lovelOrn column because she
has fallen down OH story.
This bitter pill turns love to hatred,
but when the girl Is relieved of her
heart throbs work and the managing
editor is ordered to take up her task by
the publisher, hatred turns into de-
moniacal glee.
How NUM- works out his bitter prob
lem and love Is rekindled under a.
flow OF the most biting sarcasm and
cutting repartee two young lovers ever
INDUCED In, forms one OF the most
unusual of the angles" in Hi, Nellie!"
The story deals with the fast and
furious action in connection with the
uncovering and printing OF sensation
q! stories in the daily news columns,
and brings many OF newspaperdom's
humorous sides to the fore.
NUM- and Miss Farrell are seen to-
gsther for the second time in "Hi, Mel
