THE HAPPY FISHERMAN

PRESIDENTS and their fish have made
Il reams of purple copy, but none Of them,
not Cleveland in the Canadian woods nor Cool
idge in the Black Hills nor Hoover on the
Rapidan, ever inspired such lyrics as this jaunt
Of the Houston should draw from the color
writer's.
Paul Bunyans Adventures may be dwarfed
by this cruise through two oceans Comfy in
the cabin of the giant cruiser will loaf the
President turned fisherman. With him are
deep-sea tackle, shelves of mystery thrillers
and sea tales, reels of motion pictures, a sea-
goin' swimmin hole and a cook that serves
food fit for the gods. Behind him are the
cares Of the world, ahead, across 2,4OO miles of
placid blue beyond the canal, lie eight magic
islands that call themselves the Paradise Of the
Pacific.
A fsherman's paradise they are. On the
Kona coast, called the home Of fishermen's
souls" George Kailiwia will be waiting for the
Houston's dapper launch. George, a one-legged
Polynesian who knows how to hook the big
ones, may ask the President to go native with
him and fish the turquoise water from Japa-
nese sampan. There, is the expanse looking
out toward China, they'll find the gamely
Wahloo, the fighting barracuda, the hard
boiled yellow-finned tuna and the king of all
the waters, the swordfish. Malahina, or tender
foot, as he'll be out there in the mid-Paciflc.
the President calls himself tough guy. Well,
he'll meet the toughest brethren Of the deep
on this trip.
What a vacation for king or President!
As We sit under the willow tree casting our
bait for catfish or bass we can dream of what
we'll do when we get to be President. But none
will begrudge Franklin Roosevelt this glorified
fishing trip. He's earned it.

AS the efforts are directed by a

They started with nothing and

MAKE IT A SAFE FOURTH

A FORTUNATELY a thousand American
children suffer eye injuries each year,
and fully IS per cent Of these injuries result
in total blindness. And, according to figures
supplied by the National Society for the Pre-
vention of Blindness, no less than % per cent
of all such accidents are caused by Fourth of
July fireworks.
Indeed, the figures show that more acct
dents to children's eyes occur on and around
independence Day than on any other 100 days
in the entire year.
These figures point their own moral. Fire
works are dangerous things for children to
play with. The man who puts such things into
his child's hands may think that he is doing
the youngster kindness; but he is really
putting the child under the hazard of a tragic
injury.
It's perfectly possible to give a child an
extremely happy Independence Day holiday
without touching of a single frecracker. More
parents ought to take the trouble to find out
how it is done.

MODERN GIRL INDICATED

THE modern girl is just as admirable
L person as her mother was at the same
age and in some respects she is a good deal
nicer.
This is on the word of Sister Laurentine,
director of nursing in st. Francis hospital,
Pittsburgh.
Attending a convention of the Catholic
Hospital Association of the United States
and Canada, Sister Laurentine told how she
has had direct supervision of more than 800
girls trained as nurses in the ST. Francis
training school.
we get these girls at the fapper age"
she said, and they are as fine a lot of girls
as any one would want to meet. There is no
reason TO believe all the things said about
modern girls. Some of them may have
vices. but they are no worse than the girls
OF other generations"
This is what you might call expert testi-
mony in the modern girls favor.

We have the law. and steel, like petroleum,
coal textiles and railroads, has its court to
administer the law. To that extent order has
won over strife.
There is plenty Of work ahead of the labor

Perkins have set up a special board to try to
untangle the dispute that has tied up shipping

been bloodshed in the electrical strike in Mil

With power to set up boards under the new

minimize violence elsewhere as it has in the
great steel industry.

AUTOMOBILES AND TARIFFS

THE American automobile industry, which
through the years of our tariff madness
has shown the patience of Job, now hope
fully suggests that the government hurry up
and do something about the long-promised
reciprocal tariff treaties.
Speaking through the export committee Of
the National Automobile Chamber of Com
merce, the industry points out that employ
ment for American workers and markets for
American manufacturers and farm products
can be gained by reviving world trade.
The automobile industry, because of tar
ifs, has to pay artifcialy high prices for
many of the materials that 60 into automo-
biles. Yet the automobile industry never has
asked for protection against foreign compe-

some tariffs are as high as l 900 per cent of
the cost of neutrality-suspicious. the in

SEES CLOUDS OF WAR
HANGING OVER WORLD
nv a Reader.

BY Reader.
The army and navy flight to
Alaska indicates where the next
great World war scene will be. The
status quo of the worlds industrial
nations that are geared to export
production is impossible without
world markets.
The status quo Of Europe is writ
ten in defaulted public and private
debts. 1t is pivoted upon increasing
ornaments.
Japan has reached the zenith of
exploitation of its working class,
which is now bordering on a starva-
ton level of existence. Coupled with
the latest in machinery this COM
bination spells ruin for other ma
tons seeking world markets. 1t also
means war for Japan as she pene-
trates the markets of other nations.
The silk industry Of Japan, on
which it has a strong hold, as a
source of supply for the world, rea-
sonably may be expected to use that
source for making the finished
products with this forced labor
World slaughter again is in the
off1ng because we do not want to
rationalize our industrial processes

DEPLORES RESULTS
OF POLITICS

BY Reader.
The cartoon of The Times of
June 81, page 10, along with the
editorial of the same page, headed
Too Much Politics." refers only to
indianapolis. 1t is the same in
every city in Indiana, and on every
road in Indiana.
1t is indeed awful the number OF
lives lost, persons hurt and prop
erty damaged, with no one held re-
sponsible.
I am not condemning the excel
lent police force in any city or our
good state police force. But, I dc
say, we should have three eight
hour shifts in all cities of more
than 10000 population, and enforce
all auto liability laws to the letter
If motor liability laws we're en-
forced all over Indiana instead OF
laughed at, in ninety days hazard
Gus drivers would decrease at least
rs per cent.
Bad lights, bad brakes and bad
tires cause about all the accidents
and only reckless drivers drive such
cars, and none of them carries pub
lie liability or property damage in
surance, so a good, careful driver
can have reasonable protection
against the reckless driver for dam
age.

CAPITAL AND LABOR
DUO APPROVED

By Tom BerIing.
On the checkerboard of life's
game there is no peace or stopping
place. A life without competition,
world dominated entirely by labor
or business can not be. Organized
labor and organized capital, in my
opinion, is the ideal balance and
the inevitable solution.
We who are members Of organized
labor are conservative and will con-
tinue on our way straight down the
center.
We understand that no man is a
good citizen who has not the proper
respect for the spiritual and re-
ligious convictions Of his neigh
bors.
We have nothing against Russia
as nation, but we prefer Washing
ton, Lincoln and Roosevelt as ma
tional heroes.
We do not consider ourselves as
wage slaves. We enjoy our work
and have the reputation of knowing
how to do it in the proper way. We
will not work for nothing and GER
tainly will not fight for nothing in
any mans revolution.
BY 1886 business will be normal
and so will wages.
Smile and the world smiles with
you, is just very nice way of say
ing, IF you don't want to be
treated like a dog, quit acting like
one

FINANCIAL SET UP
DECLARED FUTILE
BY a Reader

By Reader
The new industrial loan law" for
industries that have been unable to
get finance to buy goods and pay
wages, is a strait jacket designed
by our money barons.
Our financial hierarchy has not
produced a single statesman with a
vision beyond the present that
might make capitalism effective as
a system.
No system Of economics can sur
vive long, if it fails to meet the
normal expectations Of those who
depend upon it.
The financial system Of the world
is more like a blotter or sponge
than a fountain spring of service.
The rule Of greed carries with it
the seeds of its own destruction.
Capitalism can not survive by
force; it must justify itself through
service.
Judgment is written by victims
Of its oppression; the incompetence
of the operators of the system to
dispel poverty in the midst of plenty
seals the doom of capitalism.
A new deal requires new OBJ
jective for industry and finance.
Business is not business if it re-
sembles piracy, enslaves the work
ers, withholds the goods from the
consumers, OF obstructs the contri-
button of men capable of adding
service and goods TO the social order.
The new housing law equally
shows the hand Of ignorant control
