Washington and why it should
be allowed to settle on the
shoulders Of so many people who
not only are ignorant of the en-
tire affair but totally disin'
terested.
BY way Of illustrating what
can happen to a man in these
United States who is going
around Winding his own business
and trying to do the best he can
in his own circle, may I recite
these drab facts:
An elderly gentleman by the
name of Moore has been nomi-
mated for the position of collec-
tor Of internal revenue in Lou
isiana. The nomination is made
by political forces not altogether
in SVmDathv with Senator Long.

tired feebly into a safe corner.
The police stood it as long as
they could. They were Irish and
the sight of fists was form of
intoxication to them. They threw
down their night sticks and en-
tered the brawl which had
reached gigantic proportions. Ray
was unheedful. The sight of brass
buttons meant little or nothing to
him. He hammered and pounded
at the city's law officers.
The after effect was just as
Bill had schened. Republican
voters marched unmolested to the
voting booth. The police returned
to their beats, muttering words
about the pride of Erin. Ray was

Then Bill went the rounds of the

from the safety of their kitchens

The Fifteenth ward was an I'M
ruly ward, overcrowded with an
ignorant foreign-born population.
Magnificent street braWls broke
out on election days. Employers
warned their employees how to
vote and no maybes. Politicians
Strutted up and down before the
polls threatening and cajoling
voters.
These activities we're form OF
release for the robust. rough-hewn
quality of a growing city. Elec-
ton day was a drunken riot, a
special American day of license.
The sky was the limit. Poverty
stricken laborers bet their weeks
wages on a candidate and fought
to the last ditch to secure his
election. Truth and integrity were
unknown qualities as orators
scared into flowery rhetoric.
Torches famed in night street
parades.
In this particular election the
Democrats we're in power and
meant to retain their hold. They
wanted share in the spOils sys-
tenn after a period of Repub-
lican domination. So Democratic
politicians had seen to it that
policemen be on the lookout to
arrest any Republicans who felt
- fn1s f7tNi11n
At that time challenging the
voters was a familiar practice
and one which more often than
not led to war. The Democrats
had decided upon challenging Re-
publican voters and throwing
them out before any right could
be established. The police were
there to arrest any Directing
voter. The Democrats had slipped
some money to some community
DULLES to walk around with
Scowling faces and jab their fists
at Republicans. Understand these
were not just Democrat tactics.
In this election they had just
gotten the jump on the Repub-
Leans.

Il vided with a slight edge for
the Republicans. But as each Re
publican went up to vote. he ran

AS the institution now operates,

The popular belief that stock

The first thing to note, it seems
to me. is that the measures which
were criticised most severely last
spring and last autumn, namely
the monetary policy as whole,
no longer are under serious at
tack. The best proof of this lies
in the fact that the most spec
tacular indictment brought
against the administration - the
Writ charges-has been launched
by the Committee for the Nation,
the same organization which
conducted the propaganda for
abandoning the gold standard and
for devaluing the dollar.
This same organization, which
brought Father Coughlin to New
York to defend the Presidents
gold policy against Al Smith and
the sound money" men, is
bringing DR.. Writ to Washington
to prove that the President is in
the hands Of Communists. Three
months ago the Committee for
the Nation was regarded in con-
sentative quarters as a group of
dangerous hereticS. Now, in some
quarters, they are regarded as the
shock troops of orthodoxy.
1t is obvious that the monetary
policy of the administration is
working so well that men now
take it for granted.
The attack is directed against a
wholly different sector of the
Roosevelt program, against that
part of it most particularly which
involves the public control of
private enterprise. 1t is the agri-
cultural adjustment adminiStra-
ton and NRA, the securities act
and the stock exchange bill which
have drawn the fire of opposition.
There is no formidable attack on
the baloney dollar on the great
expenditures for relief, for public
works administration and civil
works administration.
THESE things have worked
il and are generally approved
even by those who have theoret-
ical misgivings about them. or are
critical of aspects of their adj
ministration. But the measures
which tend to restrict, control,
contract. regiment private enter
prise are the ones which are chal-
lenged.
In other words, the country has
accepted the policies which slim
ulate enterprise and it is in
creasingly distruStful of those
which restrict it. The more eff
fective the stimulantS show them
selves to be. the more the con-
trolls are disliked.
There is no great mystery
about this Whatever may have
been the theories Of those new
dealers who drew up the projects
of control. it is plain as a pike
staff, and always has been, that
congress. the producers of the
country and public opinion at
large approved these controls for
one fundamental reason.
There was general belief that
there was overproduction of prac-
tically everything and that the
only way to cure this trouble was
to limit the excessive supply until
it equaled the reduced demand.
That is obviously, the basic prin-
ciple of agricultural adjustment
administration. 1t was no less
clearly the underlying reason why
industry desired the NRA; by

WOMAN HIT BY CAa,
HURLED 100 FEET
Victim Is Hurt Seriously;
Driver Held.

A woman who gave the name of
Dorothy Clark was injured seriously
last night when she was struck by
an automobile and hurled more
than 100 feet in crossing College
avenue near Fortieth street.
Suffering a possible skull fracture
and internal injuries, she was un-
able to give police or city hospital
attaches her age, address or other
information.
The driver of the automobile, Gail
Conaughton, 81, of 3171 North
Illinois street, No. 3, was arrested on
charges of drunkenness, operating a
motor vehicle while under the in
fuence of liquor and assault and
battery with an automobile.

Oliver turned his ankle in the high
