CAN THE NEWSPAPERS
TAKE 1T, HE ASKS
By a Newspaper Man.

By a Newspaper Man.
The hired hands of the news
papers are getting a big laugh at
the antics of the publishers in re-
spect to the code which President
Roosevelt approved with certain
reservations regarding salaries and
hours of the subeditors, reporters,
ETC., and the adjuration to clean
up" the trade) after many weeks of
big talk.
The President handed the big boys
a severe castigation when he ap-
proved the code. 1t had to do,
largely, with that frazzled ghost:
the freedom of the press, which
Hearst, Mccormick, Knox, ct al.
saw, and which turned out to be
stuffed with hay. The President,
as we'll as many influential newspa-
per men, said the freedom Of the
press was guaranteed by the Con-
stitution, and nothing in the code
or any other instrument could
initiate against it.
Some. of the big boys wanted the
freedom" paragraph left in the
code-and it was left there, the
President pointing out that it meant
nothing, one way or another.
The truth is that some of the
mavericks of the newspaper pub
fishing business have slipped from
the old stanchion. They we're not
so much concerned regarding the
freedom of the press as they were
in engineering some sort of free
dom" whereby they could sideStep
certain phases of the agreement I'M
der the NRA.
But the phase that interests me
is: Can the newspapers take it,
as we'll as they have been handing
it OUT? They've been doing the
latter a long, long time. I've helped,
too.

A Woman's Viewpoint
: By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON :

TINE increase of the life span
4 has complicated everything
for women.
In the old days, when we were
thought fit only for work in the
nursery and kitchen, and when
there were plenty of kitchens and
nurseries for us to occupy, We died
young. After our duty had been
done-the duty of rearing large
family-our existence ended. We
had accomplished our purpose
and, knowing that, were content
to die.
Nowadays, however, life is not
so simple. Almost twenty years
have been added to the normal
human life, and we are no longer
old women at IS. Usually, we are
in the prime of life after our chill
dren have gone forth to make
their fortunes.
This constitutes a social prob
lem to which every citizen should
give attention. Men believe that
they will die Of inertia if their
work is taken from them.
EVEN the specialists point out
IL the fact that the American
business man seldom lives long if
he retires too early. Sheer bore
dom destroys him.
Eut what of women?

RICKENBACKER SCORED FOR
ATTACK ON PRESIDENT
BY Harold /. Schuman.

BY Harold L. Schuman.
LOCALIZED murder was term
wrongfully and SelfshIy used by
E. V. Rickenbacker as his descrip-
ton Of the recent action taken by
President Roosevelt, which indirect
ly led to the death of three army
pilots bound for the initial air mail
posts.
I wonder if Eddie was thinking
Of private business interests or the
welfare of the nation when he made
that caustic remark? Who is he
who dares criticise the Presidents
actions, when he himself heads the
greatest human slaughterhouse in
the world of sport in indianapolis?
Every pilot in the army is Of age
and signs his enlistment papers
with a thorough knowledge Of a
soldiers life. many are trained
with taxpayers money, SO why not
let them return their services in
time of peace to rid the country Of
one of our worst enemies, graft? A
service pilot might as we'll be doing
the United States a service as well
as putting hours on his log book.
Adverse weather conditions face
all pilots, civilian and government
alike, and the President did not
think of death to his men just be-
cause he ordered the air mail con-
tracts Cancelled.
President Roosevelt will reap no
financial benefits from their deaths.
while Eddie Rickenbacker gets blood
money as a dividend for every IA
tally occurring in the 500-nlile race
or in practice for it. Every one
knows that the majority of specta-
tors who attend the race, do so in
hopes that they might witness a
real accident. and the drivers are
bait for such people.
Just as a matter Of comparison.
I ask, Why should man of E. v.
Rickenbacker's .caliber criticise our
industrious President?"

HONOR ABOVE LIFE

4 MONG the army pilots to ole on the all
IN mail routes was Lieutenant Durward 0.
Lowry of Ann Arbor, Mich.
The story of this young officers death is
something that all Americans prof1tably might
read. 1t is a tragic tale. but it has the up
lifting heartening quality that only great
stories possess.
Lieutenant Lowry was flying the mail from
.chicaro to Cleveland when he ran into a
binding snowstorm near the town Of Desh-
Ter o. Lost and unable to find landing
place. he crashed and was killed. But read
what a newspaper reporter wrote about the
way in which he died:
Pilot Lowry. flying alone in the snow
storm on an unfamiliar route, knew that
crash was inevitable. according to the mute
testimony of sack after sack Of mail which ne
had tossed from the cockpit to prevent its
destruction in case of fire.
He kept at this task too long and in death
had lived UP to the best traditions of the air
mail service. which demand that the mail
be saved. The bags we're found intact along
the countryside"
That's all there is to it-but somehow those
two paragraphs speak volumes about the KIND
of man that this young army aviator was.
Ones imagination can fill in the picture
easily enough e. an airplane flying through
a white, swirling emptiness. with death draw
ing nearer every second; a tight-hpped young
man in the cockpit, resolutely putting out of
his mind the thought that he could save
himself, If he chose. by using those last few
devotins himself instead to tossing overheard
those sacks of mail which had. been put in
his charge.
That. If you please, was truly great hero
isn. The man was all alone up there, in the

The Times is a straight think
ing newspaper. particularly ad-
mire the sagacity of it's editorials
on public utility subjects. They
are not mixed with political and
personal prejudice and do not
contain half truths and misstate-
ments of truth, as some appearing
in other newspapers do. Above
all, yours is not one of those pa
pers which is dominated by the
public utility influence and which,
like many others, rallies frequently
to defend the private interests
against municipal ownership or
makes a plea for the stakeholder
as against the rate-payer. 1t is
plain that the owner of your pa
per is not selfshly crying over the
plight of the investor, who, like
many others, placed his money on
a doped horse. BY the way, con-
gratulations on the splendid fight
for lower light rates in Indian
apolis. More power to such bea-
con of the truth as The Times.

A Presidents Perplexity.
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Cincinnati Enquirer)
 Contrary to most persons expectations, former President Hoover's new book, published Friday is not highly controversial There is no reason why it should cause eager New Dealers to froth at the mouth in righteous anger for it comedies the validity of most of their objectves, and ap- proves of many of their methods It is not likely to be heralded by the most conservative factions in the country a bible, precisely because it is temperate in tone and somewhat vague in it's condemnation of current governmental experiments. In substance MT Hoover is attempting in "The Challenge to Liberty" to make case against what he calls National Regmentation" and at the same time to establish his conviction that important extensions the regulatory activities of government are necessary He believes, however, that can within the frame of liberty, and he rejects those measures which deprive of their rights against the State.
 Because MT Hoover thus seeks out middle path, his volume reflects the perplexty of thoughtful man, rather than the frontal attack of party leader In keeping with the dignity of his unique status former Chief Executive, he has refraned from ndulgng in personalities, and likewise has fused to criticize specific measures of the Roose- welt Administration Probably "The Challenge to Liberty" would have been a more helpful book if the attacks on bureaucracy, monetary policy, and interference in business had been made specific. AS it is, the reader lays down the book sharing MT Hoover's perpexty rather than feeling that an indictment of current policy has been made and substantiated.

Our Arctic Migrant.
CNew York Times.)

The presence of ruddy Captain Bob Bartlett in our port again-migrant from beyond the Arctic Circle-is happy augury for the Winter. No de- precision can exist in his presence His flights to and fro with the seasons regular as those of the migrants of the skies The annual expedition from which he has just returned is his forty first to the Far North
 few days ago he was broadcasting from a point 1,700 miles to the north telling of the spec- mems he was bringing home, along with Photographic data, as well as some memento of an ill-fated expedition of fifty years ago But nothing he brings back can be of greater value than what he bears in his own person-the spirit with which he has faced hardships and dsappontments In all the chronicles of exploration there is nothing finer than his devotion to his leader whom he was not permitted to accompany the last lap to the Pole Marking his own "furthest North" he picked up the flag and returned to make the observation D In his recent expedition he could get no nearer than twenty-five miles to the monument to Pearv but noted with satisfaction that he could see it's metal cap "refecting the rays of the ,ndniol,t sun"
 One likes to keep in memory glowing passage in his description of sunset as seen by him perched high above the deck of his little Morrisseyo: l The shadows deepening from scarlet to
 purple, then fading into the blackness of
 night. All around quiet save for the occasional splash of diSintegrating ice pans
 and the ha-ha-has of the red -throated loon
 teaching her young to fly. In the lines of
 Shelley: They made stiller with their sound
 the involable quetnesso
 Hawthorne and Longellow (both graduates of Bowdoin College), reading this passage would be glad to know that their Alma Mater had given it's Arctic author an honorary degree and Shelley would be proud to have this authentic record of his "furthest North.".
 Peary's tribute to Bartlett was that he was "iust Bartlettireless sleepless enthusiastic whether on the bridge. or in the crows nest or at the head of sledge division in the field" It is to be wished that he may round out his fifty expeditions; still strong in will to strive to seek, to find and not to yield"

z BAD CHECKS
HOLD FL|ER

william Weightman, 80, who
earned the sobriquet wild Bill"
the last time he visited the Po-
lice Court in washington, is in the
tolls again.
Two years ago the mustachioed
war flier, sportsman, auto racer,
and scion of a prominent Phila-
delphia family won notoriety
when he was hailed into court and
pleaded guilty to giving a bad
check for a new automobile which
he wrecked before the check
bounced" back.
Yesterday he was arrested on
another bad check charge and will
be arraigned tomorrow in the
courtroom with which he is ia
miliar.
Weightman, who was placed on
probation before, was arrested to-
day by Detective Sergt. Eugene
Davis, head of the check squad,
after he had driven in from Sterl-
ing, Va, to have his auto repaired.
A warrant two years old was
served on him. It was sworn out
by Sol Gordon, a grocer, in the
2100 block New York Ave-, N. w.
who charges that while Weight
man was a customer of his he
gave him two bad checks totalling
$31.

TEAM WINS

Although not quite good enough
to beat Frank Barber's Connecti-

Occidental duckpinners are still
able to more than take care of
themselves as far as local competi-
ton is concerned.
The crack crew, by sweeping
three games from Lucky Strike,
widened the margin over King Pin,
runners-up in the District League,
to four games.
The restauranters broke 600 IN
each game. Earl McPhilomy, with
389; Joe Harrison, with 386, and
Brad Mandley, with 388 (includ-
ing a 161 game), led the winners.
Ed Blakeney's 375 was high for
the losers.
Georgetown won the odd game
from Northeast Temple, taking
the match by two-pin margin.
Georgetown's captain. Ed Schlegel
threw in 140 game for a 403
set. Temple tried hard, with
Frank Mischou kicking in a 412
set and Ollie Pacini an even 400,
which included 155 game.
Bill Clampitt's 393 was high, as
Beacon Sign took two from King
Pin, whose Bill Miller banged out
a 396 set. Minus Paul Harrison,
who has been bothered by bad
teeth, Arcade dropped three
games to Henry Hiser's Hyatts-
vile team.
