FUNNY-AND SAD

DOOR DR.. WRIT started his publicity
Il stunt by saying that member of the
brain trust told him that the President was
"the Kerensky of this revolution" Put on a
congressional Investigating stand and he has
changed his story:
1t was not brain trIster, but newspaper
correspondent never connected with the gov
eminent.
Those at the dinner where DR.. Writ says
he heard the Kerensky statement deny that
it was made. Indeed, they say that no one
else could express any opinions because DR..
Writ made an unlimited and uninterrupted
four-hour speech on his pet hobby in favor Of
revolutiontzing the American monetary system.
Describing Mrs. Roosevelt's project for
homestead-factory development to save the
unemployed in West Virginia, DR.. Writ sober
ly-at any rate apparently soberly-called
this 'Communistic effort" We shudder to
think what he would call the Hoover RFC.
DR.. Writ has not harmed the Roosevelt
administration. Mrs. Roosevelt and Agricul-
ture Secretary Henry Wallace, who seem to
be his particular hates are more secure in the
esteem of the country than when he began
his low comedy.
He has succeeded merely in making him
self a national laughing stock. We are sorry,
because, before he went off on this strange
mental tangent, he was great man in his
special field. For twenty years he had the
courage to lead in educational reform. And,
curiously enough in the light of his present
cheap publicity parading his behavior was
marked by modesty and humility.
SO, however much Dr. Writ now invites us
to ridicule him, we can't get fun out of it.

MONEY is THEIR
OWN, TRIO DECLARES

By Three Tabernacle Members.
We are interested greatly in your
Message Center. We also would like
to join your writer's and give T. S.
Martin an answer to his letter.
We wonder if he ever was in
Cadle Tabernacle or ever donated a
penny? If he hasn't why should he
worry what the rest of us do with
our money? We are regular attend
ers at the tabernacle and this oper-
ator Gas you call hin) and all his
aids are Christian people who are
trying to live right and tend their
own business.
If this operator can have from
$4,000 to $4,000 a year donated to
him he must be pretty well thought
of. Our money is cur own, and if
we feel like donating it why I don't
see as that is any of Mr.. T. S..
Martins affairs.
AS far as giving to the poor I ex-
pect as much of our money goes to
poor as yours does.
One thing, you would learn more
about your Bible and maybe some
thing about yourself. AS to the
family prayer period, if you don't
like it turn off your radio.

heart, Secretary Wallace. Love for Alicia was
surplanted by mad hunger for vengeance in
every recess Of our boyish heart.
For ten years that Baby Bob" nomen
stuck to us much tighter than did our bap-
tismal name but, during that decade, we
licked each Of those six contumelious rivals
and thirty-fve years later in life met Alicia,
the mother of seven children and unable to
keep any two of them in shoes
Let the human heart alone, Mr.. Secretary
of grain, pigs, COWS and farms set the blue
eagle at control Of its changes and that adj
mirable bird is likely to lose MANY of its
wing feathers.

1T DOES CHANGE

HENRY WALLACE, secretary of agriculture,
L advises that the new deals social success
depends upon change in the human heart.
And he needn't worry and work for that The
human heart changes itself, often very sud-
denly and with no reason that Mr.. Wallace
will be able to discover
Change in the human heart. It reminds
the editorial I'VE" as writer's ncense-we, of
the age of T. fell idiotically, torturously in
love with young lady Alicia Burke by name.
SO did six other fellows Of our years
Miss Alicia was u, foot taller and twen-
ty-five pounds heavier than we. But true love
tramples iron-Shod upon such incongruitieS.
Just about the time when we felt that we had
retired our six rivals into the gloom of defeat,
mother attired us in our limitations of Little
Lord Fauntleroy and We entered upon social
gathering occasionally permitted to immature,
but noble, scions OF leading families of that
period.
The other six were there in worship at
Alicia's feet. She had on blue shoes and
cream-colored stockings and was otherwise
beautiful all the way up. AS we entered and

right. That internal half-dozen snickered out

WAR OR COMMERCE
ARE WORLDS CHOICE

By H. Hurd.
wish to express my opinion Of
war. War and commerce are the
two great antagoniStic principles
which struggle for mastery of the
human race, the functions of the
one being to preserve and that of
the other to destroy.
Commerce causes cities to be built
and fields to be cultivated, and diff
fuses comfort and plenty and all
the blessings of peace. It carries
organization and order everywhere.
1t protects property and life. 1t
disarms pestlience and prohibits
famine.
War, on the other hand, de-
stroys. 1t disorganizes the social
life. 1t ruins cities, depopulates
and condemns men to idleness and
want. And the only remedy it
knows for the evils which it brings
upon man is to shorten the miseries
of its victims by giving pestilence
and famine the most ample commits
sion to destroy their lives.
War is the great enemy, while
commerce is the great friend of hui
manity.
When the World war started it
affected countries engaged peace
fully and proSperously in exchang-
ing the productions of the various
countries. Commerce was promot-
ing everywhere the comforts and
happiness of mankind. In short
time war turned all their ener-
gies into the new current of mil
itary aggression.
Which shall we choose in the fu-
ture, commercial prosperity and
peace, or military achievements and
ruin? We can have either. but not
both. War and commerce do not
mix.

BEER REVENUES
an expert

ON its first anniversary under the new dis
~ pensation lawful beer came last Satur-
day bearing golden gifts
Into the Golfers of the federal government
and the forty-fve states and the District of
Columbia where beer is legal, a stream of some
Sl74,000,000 of revenue has been poured. Con-
sidering that only eighteen states have had
legal beer for full year. this is a goodly sum-
1t comes up to the United States treasury
promises. The treasury estimated that beer
taxes would bring in between $125 900 900 and
S150,00O,00 of federal moneys. The govern
ment'S share for the year is $137, 900, sum
that We believe would be even larger if the
taxes and tariffs were reduced.
Beer revenue totaled more than s., 900, 900 in
ten states In New York it was s4,903, 167;
Pennsylvania. s4,1s2,611: Ohio, s3,S34.956; Illi-
nois, S2734000; Wisconsin, $1,353,0oo; New
Jersey. s1l45,0OO; California, s1125, ooo Mich

sets. more than s1,OOOOOO Wine and liquor
taxes have brought in $50 900 since legal
ization on last Dec. 5.

HONEST BANKERS ARE
UPHELD IN LETTER

BY Subscriber.
I always have read your edito-
rails and am sure as minded
as you always have been you will
see my point and grant a subscriber
this favor.
1 have been teller for the last
seven years in one Of the banks
which still is open 100 per cent.
Banks that now are open have been
fair and honest in their dealings
and for this reason still are open.
They have suffered because of the
unfair practices of the ones which
closed by having to pay large sums
OF money for insurance to protect
their deposits.
AS a teller in an honest insti-
tuition should my life be endan-
gered by a criminal such as Dill
linger? Do you have any right to
say he should be loose to kill and
rob some innocent person? Is my
life not dear to me and my fam
lily? Would you want your loved
ones to be in the same position?
Did Dillinger beat and torture an
old man TO find his money? Would
you want this to happen to you OF
your family? state again, you
have no right to wish this danger
on innocent people. The crooked
banker has been forced out Of the
banking field. You are wrong to
ever uphold criminal under any
circumstances. Please show some
sporting blood and give the good
banker break.

door, leading to undreamed of
wealth for all mankind
The door to this paradise is locked
with the bolt of profits" to private
operators" of industry. The rugged
individualist" who owns the equip
ment, does not operate" the pro-
duction equipment, but delegates"
the operation to others, who think
they are rugged individualists, but
who, of necessity, are co-operators.
No industry could operate in mod
ern times, if each worker had his
own rugged individual plant"
Profits Of industry in modern
society, with high speed production
facilities must be distributed to the
consumer. When profits pile up for
capital to hoard, or to produce more
production equipment which the
consumer does not absorb, the capt.
tai invested there, and in other
equipment becomes stagnant and
creates economic collapse.
Capital has dollar" cents, but
mighty little economic sense.
Normal will not return with pro-
duction for capital profits. Consum-
ers profits are the only profits in
the cards for modern industry.

MAIL CARRIERS WILL
SUFFER UNDER PAY SLICES
BY a Wife and Mother.

By Wife and Mother.
There has been a curtailment of
mail service, and reduction of the
substitute carriers and clerks pay
to nothing! 1t was stated that the
$50 monthly wage could be expected
to be one-half, or SIS for the next
three months. Perhaps a few get
as much as $50, but majority gets
less than $40 a month.
1t is not right to go after NRA
violators when the government is
not following the codes with its own
employees. The government has cut
wages and made men work with no
pay to keep from using the extra
employees. Some of these extras
have spent over four and five years
in that capacity. not getting living
wages for some time, but trying TO
keep children clothed and fed and
respectable and in school They

want to help uphold justice, but
there doesn't seem to be much
meted out by Mr. Farley.
The public naturally thinks the
postal employees are doing well COM
pared to the army of unemployed.
They don't understand that carriers
report at 6 a. m. daily and some
times stay the entire day without an
hours work. They are only paid for
the time they really work. They are
required to purchase and keep their
uniforms in good condition.
Mr.. Farley's new act will cut of
chances of work and will bring suf-
fering to the families of these extra
men.

year or even six months later that

This pension bill that recently
passed, helped some of the poor
veterans, but if the men hadn't
benefited by it, the bill would have
been turned down, and you still
would be in my class.

who ever has benefited by being a
member of the legion.

1t took jury of ten men and
two women f1fty-fve minutes to
sentence Harry Pierpont to death.
Little do the jurors think of the
significance of their combined eff
forts-those adherentS to the doc
trine of an eye for an eye and the
same with a human life.
Burnt offerings, though they
appease the blood thirsty, long
since have been abolished in
Christian civilizations. Or have
they? They never will end crime;
never will settle the score against
society, rather serve to make it
the more lopsided; never will
make amends for the first life
unfortunately lost; will open new
wounds in the hearts of friends
and relatives of the condemned;
and must Of necessity be a haunt
ing memory gnawing on the con-
science of every psuedo- Christian
juror who has no less broken the
commandment.
Mind you, am not sympathiz-
ing with the unfortunate mans
crime but with the man himself
and with countless other victims
of this system of society. In my
tolerance, I recognize the adverse
forces that have beset these poor
unfortunateS whose intimate
weaknesses we do not know and
for which society has always con-
demned them to ruthless destruc-
ton in the name of justice.
I question the integrity of the
meaningless phrase that these
criminals are dangerous to So
ciety. Hold on, gentle reader, you
have not heard all yet! I even
will say that society has wronged
the criminal; actually made him
what he is bV subsection to the

worst treatment and exposure to
the most inhuman and degener-
ate rule conceivable.
I have no use for the man who
will not steal a loaf of bread to
feed his starving babies, Suppose
then, that the reader, out of work
and reduced to poverty, is driven
on in despair by want and hunger
to steal that loaf. If he is appre-
hended, he stands a small chance
of being released; and if he is,
what has he to look to? Contin-
ued want.
But, for the sake of continuity
in the example, the prisoner is
sentenced to thirty days on the
penal farm or in some Jail whose
authorities are entirely devoid of
principle and. understanding of
human nature and whose every
action is motivated by gain and
greed. Under such conditions of
prison supervision and prison
personnel, life for the prisoner
becomes a blacklist hell.
1t requires no great magma
ton to visualize even the most
dogmatic jurist in a similar po-
sition. Subject Pierpont to the
infections of society just recalled
and you have started him on his
reactionary course. Jurist or
criminal, then, they are all the
same - only step removed
with the jurist receiving 81 a day
to send his fellow man to death.
His parasitic work completed, he
may tomorrow find his efforts
fraught with desperate need and
unemployment. Again the man
prevails-again the story of the
loaf with all its dire results-and
in the end another human life
falls, tribute to a jury.
Forgive them, for they know
not what they do.
