A WOmanS Viewpoint
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

A LONG comes another prophet
IA with the assurance that
mans life span soon will reach
the century mark.
The prospect is a dreadful one
unless we can all survive to ripe
old age together. To be 100 years
in a world where the majority
of the inhabitants were much
younger would be the very worst
purgatory a devil could devise. For
we do not achieve companionShip
except with Our contemporaries.
We can communicate only with
those who were born in the same
decade as ourselves.
Youth alone in a society of
elders, or an old man among
iuveniles-could ever loneliness be
more poignant?
Not very many people in our
civilization desire to live a hun
dred years. For the social system
We have built is the most cruel
America has ever known for those
WIN O4N4. n AOA45 LILLY GboO
when our frontiers were in the
making, there was a valued place
in each household for the vener-
able man or woman. Small, neces-
sary jobs, both outside and in, de-
volved upon them and made them
feel needed. In a social order
which demanded that all hands
work at top speed SO the family
might eat and prosper, old age
was not a burden.
But it is a burden noW-one of
the heaviest modern man must
bear With congested living quar-
ters, poverty and economic COM
petition uppermost, the old are in
a bitter predicament. There are
not enough jobs for the young so
what are the aged to do?
They can suffer. They Go Suf-
fer. Thousands of them are for
lorn and forgotten. Their life's
work done. they are considered
useless membranes in the path

business world is going up, eh? You
would hardly guess 1t, DR.. OgbuTn,
if you interviewed some Of the
women themselves-one of those
wives who have lost their jobs sim
ply because they are married women,
for instance. Or one of the girls
who are receiving a dollar less
week for doing the same work under
an NRA code as a penalty for not
having been born boys, like the men
at the next counter.
You might find Illuminating, too,
a chat with one of the girls en-
trades. where, according to the
wOmen's bureau of the United States
department of labor, many young
girls have been receiving 81 and 81
a week. although the median-half
receiving less. half more-of all
wages paid to men and women
was s1235.
In the same report, sent from
Washington, we learn that during
the decade from 1920 to 1880 the
number Of women in domestic serv-
ice has swelled by a million.

saws the report. It is evident that
the problem of unemployment for
women is. then, no temporary mat
ter brought on by the depression.
It is always there.
But these. after all, are women
workers in the lower-income classes.
1t is the college-graduate group to
which DR.. Ogburn is painting so
enticing a picture Of the business
opportunities for women today.
Very well An instructive report
called Women and Their Ca
reers" has recently been published
by the National Federation of Busi-
ness and Professional Women S
Clubs 1t tells you the salaries dis
covered through a survey of 30S
women in different professions.
The earnings ranged from $3.50 a
year to S30,OOO but of the whole
group only twenty-five were making
more than $4,000 Il year. And they
were-mind you!-a hand-picked
group of members Of the fedora
tion-women, for the most part. of
many years experience in the most
aritocratic branches of work. Com
pare those salaries With the ones
YOU would discover from a similar
survey of Rotary Club members.
At Least Artists Get Break
The prejudice against paying
women the same salary as men fol-
the same work persists in business
and in the professions.
Peraps it is less ardent than il
once was, but it is there, all right
And there is no such penalty at
tached TO being a woman if you are
an artist. Nobody cares about the
sex of the sculptor or painter if he
wants to buy his wares.
And that, DR.. Ogburn. may be
why so many girl graduates set out
on the perilous stream of an artistic
career. It may not be lucrative

know that they will get an even

of the aggressive. We are too busy
to bother with them, too hurried
to understand their plight too un-
imaginative to truly sympathize
with them. They have no econ

they helped to make, no place in
a democracy they worked and

many Of them have no care or
affection from children whom they

A hundred years of life is a
boon to the savage whose tribe
honors age. In the United States,
where gray hairs are apologized
for, a hundred years of life is a
major tragedy.

THE REAL

a LII OF a sudden, it seems, the country is full
of conservative defenders of the Consti-
tuition. Yesterday, its anniversary, saw more
of them than usual.
Is it, then, in danger? Perhaps. But not
from those now trying under it to win justice
and security for the American people. The
danger is from those who would use it to per-
petuate old wrongs and cloak privilege with
legal Sanctity.
The Constitutions real defenders are those
men who for lat years have kept it alive by
adapting its principles to the changing needs of
the nation. Among these have been:
George Washington, who admitted its i'm
projections" and pointed to the door for "fu-
ture amendments and alterations"
Chief Justice Marshall, who held it would
have been unwise for the fathers to provide
immutable rules for exigencies which. if fore
seen at all, must have been foreseen dimly. and
which can best be provided for as they occur"
Mr.. Justice Brewer. who said, "Constitu-
tional provisions do not change. but their OPP
Grafton extends to new matters as the modes
of business and the habits of life of the people
vary with each succeeding generation"
Mr.. Justice Holmes. who said that the Con-
stitution lis an experiment, as all life is an
experiment. Every year, if not every day. we
have to wager our salvation upon SOM prophe-
cy based upon imperfect knowledge"
Mr.. Justice Brandeis: There must be power
in the state and nation to remold through
experimentation. our economic practices and
institutions to meet changing social and eco
nomic needs"
Mr.. Justice Cardozo: The great generalities
of the Constitution have a content and a sig
n~idcance that vary from age TO age"

MORE POLITICS

CECRETARY MORGENTHAU announces
that treasury employees will be permitted
TO engage in political activities "on their own
time" if it is not "obstrusive" or offensive"
p~artiSanship.
This is too thin a line.
Mr.. Morgenthau's original order a month
ago in more drastic terms carried out the ideal
OF the civil servant. barred from party politics
but protected in his job to be efficient as posi-
bic in the public service without regard to po-
htical pressure. The latest order emasculates
the first.
The new circular says the first order was
not intended to forbid political contributions
properly made. political speeches "on public
questions" A treasury employe can even at
tend state or county political conventions as a
delegate. but not act as convention chairman
or attempt to use the power of his public Of
fee TO control or manipulate the proceedings
or display such obtrusive p~artisanship as to
cause public scandal"
In other words. IF you can't be good. be
careful"

last month when he pledged himself to pre-
serve and strengthen the civil service merit

THE issue in the municipal election is
Il simple and direct. Does Indianapolis
want boss rule? Judge John W. Kern stated
it succinctly the other night in Tomlinson
hall when he opened his campaign for the
mayoralty:
Walter Pritchard Republican candi-
date IS an amiable gentleman. He was,
however, George Collins candidate for
judge Of the criminal court four years
ago. He was George Collins choice for
election commissioner two years ago, and
he Is now George Collins nominee for
mayor of indianapolis.
Cap" Coffin needs no introduction to our
readers. He is a vest pocket edition Of a
Tammany boss-an edition, by the way, loaded
with typographical errors.
Republican inertia and lassitude has be-
come so great that Boss Coffin controls the
local organization despite his sour record.
Cap" nominated and elected a Governor
in 1924. The nation has not forgotten the
foul administration of that Governor-Ed
Jackson. 1t was during his regime that the
khan took over Indiana. Jackson himself
escaped criminal trial only by taking cowardly
refuge in the statute Of limitations.
Cap" Coffin nominated and elected
Mayor John L. Duvall. In less than two
years the Duvall administration brought the
city to the brink of bankruptcy. The mayor
himself was convicted Of crime and four men,
bers Of the city council resigned under GRIM
NAL Indictment.
indianapolis. which bore the proud reputa-
ton Of having produced some Of the country's
greatest statesmen and authors, became a
symbol Of municipal corruption because of
Boss Coffin.
We have nothing in particular against
Judge Pritchard as an individual, nor do we
know Of anything particularly to recommend
him. He is, as Judge Kern says, IAN amiable
gentleman" He is, we think, just a shade too
amiable since he permits his name to be
linked with that of Cap" Coffin and accepts
support from the boss"
Remember that boss rule knows neither
ethics nor party lines. 1t operates solely on
the swinish philosophy Of getting its snout

in the trough and keeping it there. It is SOUL
less and selfish. 1t cares nothing for civic
pride or municipal service. And it is always
very. very expensive to the taxpayers.
DO the citizens Of Indianapolis want 70 risk
a repetition Of the Jackson and Duvall per-
Torrance? No matter how honest Judge
Pritchard himself may be-and we believe he
is entirely honest-he can not control his
political parent, cap" Coffin.
Or does this city want Judge John Kern2
Judge Kern was raised in a distinguished ira
dition Of public service as typihed by his
father. the late United States Senator Kern.
It was a real personal sacrifice for Judge
Kern to accept the Democratic nomination
for mayor. He is not a wealthy man and is
dependent for his living upon what he earns.
In his present position as judge his salary
is nearly two thousand dollars in excess of
what it viii be as mayor.
He will follow in Office Mayor Reginald
Sullivan who promised the people a business
administration and gave it to them. Indian
apolis under Mayor Sullivan has been the only
large community in the United States to come
through the depression with credit unimpaired,
taxes held down and with an actual surplus
in the treasury.
Judge Kern is his own man. There is no
mysterious boss or group of bosses back Of
him. He has made no promises and is I'M
trammelled by political commitments.
While the Republican machine politicians
this summer were assiduously lining up beer
parlor, poolroom and slot machine operators,
Judge Kern was quietly preparing himself for
public office by taking a special course at the
University of Chicago in municipal and public
utility law
Here is an amazing candidate indeed! First
he sacrifices a well earned vacation to his
community and then he offers to cut his per-
sonal income by more than 20 per cent in
order to serve his city.
We believe that he can be trusted with the
affairs of Indianapolis. At the same time
we think it is time for the decent people of
this city once and for all to stamp out
Coffinism.

do we expect to solve our economic
problem while our bodies and minds
are fed on minimum food?
We really have a large shortage Of
food if every n would be permitted
to eat the quantity and kind Of
food to keep a high efficiency stand
ard.
Only the class of persons who
earn $4,000 or more a year can
maintain their efficiency by proper
varied and sufficient food. The vast
majority Of Americas population is
living on a substandard. 1t is no
wonder we are befuddled and con-
fused in determining the method
by which our superabundance of
every type of goods shall be dis
tributed.
The cattle in the drought area
will be put into ans for the people
on relief, because of a shortage Of
cattle food.
If we could reduce the ignorance
at the top and the bottom Of our
economic order, we could use more
food than the American farmers
can produce. 1t would permit mind
and body culture, create a race OF
unusual intelligence, solve crop re-
duction, stop the moronic destruc-
ton of things essential for a high
standard of living.
May we all vote on crops?

marine law reform resolution following the
Vestris tragedy and has not ratified the inter-
