BANDIT ORGANIZATIONS

Hints recently thrown out that John Dillinger IS
not the head or the brains of the bandit gang of
which we have supposed he was the leader, but
only minor member who happened to make HIM
self spectacular, would seem to have corroboratve
evidence in number of disclosures in the course
of the hunt for the desperate and ether members
,of the gang. D..
u The manner of his escape, as now disclosed nv
the trial of the tratorous deputy sheriff who helped
him make his getaway from the Crown Point Jail,
suggests higher up" influence than Dillinger
himself would be able to exert
That may be imaginary, of course; but even a
small town jailer is hardly likely to help notori-
Gus criminal get away without at least the expec-
tation that it is going to be made worth his while.
There is the other possibility, of course, that
the ,double-crossng jail official is member of the
organization; which in this case at least seems
improbable.
Evidence is increasing that the man Dillinger is
part of far-hung organization, which is all the
more reason for diligent and unremitting efforts
to run down every last member and put him per-
manently where he can do society no more harm.

thousand that if the minister
who was first offered the bishop
ric had taken it, he would have
given a much more satisfactory
account of himself than the min
lister who was chosen to take his
place.
Fundamentally we should &C
ccpt service when we are called
to it. We should undertake the
charge that is assigned to us. We
should shoulder the duty that is
placed upon us.
When the conference of bishops
told the minister who first APP
peared in this story that he was
it, then that should have settled
the matter for him. What if he
did not think he was the man for
the Job? What if he were not?
1t was up to him to become the
man for the job. 1t was up to
him to say, "Here | am; send
me-" "Here am |; use me-" Two
things would have been accom-
plished had that minister faced
the situation in that spirit! Not
only would he have gone into a
larger service, but he would have
expanded and developed himself
into a larger man.
There is no doubt that again

but because the undertaking of
the work will brine out and de-
velop that latent power. Many a
man has thoroughly surprised

do. when he made up his mind to
do it. and got busy.
A call to a higher service is an
opportunity, not only to perform
1.-THE service, but to fit oneself to
perform the service.

ALL THAT MAN NEEDS NATURE CAN
PROVIDE
fBr BRUCE CATION

Just as we got used to the idea of per-
suading farmers to grow fewer crops,
along came Mother Nature to accomplish
the same job by force: -. ,.s.,a-
Dust storms and drouth put a peculiar
reversal on the schemes of the triple-A
gentlemen at Washington, In the most
modern of agricultural programs comes
agriculture's most ancient blight. The old
time scarcity economics emerges from the
dust bin to crouch over the farm belt once
more. ............ ...-.
And as all this happens, the price of
wheat goes rocketing on the Chicago ,ex-
change. Somebody is going to get rich out
of this disaster, and it won't be the farm
er, either. ...,. .-...
Where does all this leave our farm pro-
gram? When a nation sets out to cope
with a problem arising from too bounti-
full supply of everything, and the supply is
suddenly cut short beyond all exceptions,
what then?
Are we right back where we were gen.
Grafton ago, before the embarrassing pro-
ductivity of the modern world landed US
in the soup?
We are not, and we should make great
mistake if we thought SO. The farm catas-
trophe is like one of those exceptions that
prove the rule.
1t opens a gap in our Immediate pro-
gram, but it leaves the long-range problem
unchanged
In agriculture as in industry. our real
trouble is that we don't know how to act
in the presence of abundance. ..,...
And this is something that cannot be re-
peated too often; for its implications are
of tremendous Importance.
Ii would be a good thing if the people
learned to chant it like chorus, over and
over again-the world can produce so
much that everybody can have enough Of
everything. For this is the fact with which
all political schemes and all economic the
cries collide, sooner or later.
Beyond the reach of bad weather and
bankruptcy, strikes and layoffs, it energies
as the one great significant development of
the twentieth century.
Keep that fact eternally in mind, and
when any publicist, statesman, or econo-
mist begins to tell you what we must do to-
be saved, ask him, What do you propose
to do about that?" If he has no answer
for it, he has no answer for anything.

Editor, The Times-News:
AS l go about campaigning for
seat in the legislature, | am
frequently asked for my views on
the labor problem. Briefly stated
it is this:
We have no sympathy for any
able-bodied man who might find
work and refuses to do it. There
NAV be many idle end unemploy-
ed because they choose to be. But
every honest, dependable toiler,
who stays with his job year in and
year out, is entitled to a greater
share of the profits that accumu-
late as the result Of his labor. In
fact, every faithful laborer is en-
titled to at least three things: He
has every right to a comfortable
standard of living; he should have
a chance to give his children an
education; and last of all he
should receive wage that would
enable him, if he is economical,
to lay by surplus that would
care for him with some degree Of
comfort after his working period
of life has been spent. That, OF
course, means that the honest,
faithful laborer should be able to
pay for his own home. To help
him to become a hcme-owner, it
might be wise legislation to ex-
empt homes valued at not more
than $4,000 from taxation, The
State of Florida, l am told, ex-
empts all homes valued not above
$4,000 from taxation.
We are beginning 10 appreciate
the fact that the people who do
the worlds work arc entitled, at
least, to a home to live in.

the superiority of two old race horses
