Trading Post Is Gone

mis- community would puzzle you. Ii was moth
ing but trading post forty years ago and
sudden crazy boom made Miami a city with tall
buildings, fire engines, a chamber of commerce and
an such organizations the Kiwanis Lions and the
Ministerial Union. The people are proud of the
place and as touchy citizens anywhere else about
the fair name of their town the safety of their
homes and nice moral influences for their children
put they are determined to have an underworld The
cltlzenS OF Miami seem to think their city will be
regarded as somehow hck if they do not have graft
IN public office and strong representation of
genuine New York and Chicago hoodlums during the
winter season. ~

cases smashed up their expensive tools and finally

removed from office. This winter the parlors did
business as OF old and there were slot machines
everywhere but in the churches and the nubc
schools. They right next door even 50

taxing graft and that the hOodlumS were back be-

TO a considerable extent this
: a handicap, because no big eX-
ecutive, especially the President of
the United States, has time to
act as his own research agency
Nevertheless Roosevelt does. And
the men whom he calls upon have
become, in a very different sense,
the substitutes for the old brain
trust.
There is no central organization.
Some of the so-called brain trust
ers do not even know each other
except by name. Many of them
are not college professors. There
are a great number of them. New
ones go and come every day. An
attempt to list the most impor-
tant of them, plus background and
ideas they represent, follows:
HARRY HOPKINS, administra-
tor of CWA and federal emergency
relief. An Iowa boy who came to
the big city, got interested in boys
camps, took up New York social
welfare, and now is one of the
closest men to Roosevelt. Hopkins
is clear-eyed. frank, dynamic. He
shoots no Johnsonian bombast.

Colonel o. w. Hoop (above), was
overwhelmingly elected police and
fire commissioner of Tulsa, Okla,
as a result of electiOneering by his
students (top), who set out to
prove to Hoop, their politics
teacher, that machineless candi-
dates can be elected.
Right, one of the students cam
paign stunts.

Nurtured intellectually in Green
wich village atmosphere, he re-
tains an ingrained streak of prac-
ticality. He is not only a think
er but doer, and one of the most
attractive of the recovery admin
istrators.
JIM Lands, federal trade
commissioner, is one of the new
est and most up-and coming of
the newer men. A product of the
Harvard Law school, he once
served as secretary to the supreme
court sage, Justice Brandeis, got
his appointment through Felix
Frankfurter and has been one of
the most dynamic figures in the
new deal ever since.
Lands wrote the securities act
and good part of the stock mar
ket control bill. He also led the
battle against General Johnson in
order to protect the little fellow
under the NRA. A tremendous
worker, he sleeps only a few hours
on an Office couch, often does not
go home for days.

THE WORKING MAN TODAY
HAS MANY PRIVILEGES

Ii is said that all centuries
have favored the rich, but only
the last half century has begun
TO smile upon the working man.
In every material respect the
working man today has privi-
leges which his grandfather's 5
imagination hardly could con-
ceive. Free education, more
clothes and better ones. more
travel, and even If he can't
travel, he and his family can ae-
qulre from the movies IA good
idea OF the wonders OF the world
Everything that happens is re-
ported in his newspaper, and
even if they could have afford
ed to buy 1t, many grandfathers
would have been unable TO read
/ it. Now electric lights instead
of an oil lamp, automobiles,
better homes and comforts.
! Nobody will deny that the
world is moving steadily toward
the greatest happiness for 8
greater number. The last fifty
years have seen an immense
diffusion OF knowledge. 1t has
endowed the majority with thai
faculty of concentration which
brings on a growth of character
on which knowledge must feec
and which develops into wis
dom.
Yes. we live better and with
less work, but We still have 6
long way To 90 to become bet
ter men than our grandfather
were.

DID YOU EYER
STOP TO THINK

That some cities have citizens
who preach that an ounce OF
action is worth a ton of promis-
ses.--and then practice what
they preach.
Some cities are awake to the
fact that it takes better busi-
ness to build better cities.
Some cities make better busi-
ness one of their chief concerns.
That is why they are better
cities.
Some cities believe that it
takes teamwork to get results
and that the majority sitting
steady waiting for a few live
citizens to do it won't work.
Cities don't stand still; they
go forward or backward.
The right kind of teamwork
always helps to move a city
forward.

PISTOL DUEL At PI-

Owing to bitter enmity re-
sulting from the appointment

ADVERTISING DOES PAY

Advertising investment should
be included in the retail price
when the mark up is figured. If
you always sell your goods at a
profit you can't go broke if you
sell enough of them to more
than pay your necessary ex-
penses. Advertising is really a
part Of your merchandise, 1t
is that part which makes your
merchandise move. Being a
part of your merchandise it
should be sold to the consumers
by being included in the mark
up on goods and made to pay
its own way. No merchant can
properly say, 81 can't afford to
advertise" Advertising Is an
expense only to those who do
not advertise.
