FAREWELL, MARINES!

WITHIN the next fortnight or so, the last
w American marines will be leaving the is
land of Haiti-and neither the Haitians, the
American public, nor the marines themselves
will feel very badly about it if they never go
back.
The marines have been on the island for
many years. Their greatest strength there
was in May. 1921, when more than 1000 of all
ranks were concentrated there. This spring
and summer the number had shrunk to ap-
proximately $50; and now. because of the new
understanding reached between the American
and Haitian governments, it is shrinking to
nothing at all
1t is good to see the marines leaving. The
islands situation was very tangled indeed
when they first landed. and they did lot OF
very excellent work; but in the end the
Haitians must work out their own salvation as
an independent state and they can't do that
until the last American marine has gone
home

THE DILLINGERS

THE Dillinger family is appearing on the
stage of local theater this week, an
swering questions about John Dillinger, the
desperate. who was slain eight days ago on
his last trip to a theater.
That members OF his family, including his
father should appear in theater so soon
after the family tragedy, seems rather odd.
But on the stage yesterday John Dillinger
ST.. said he had accepted the stage offer be-
cause it assured him of a better living than
life on the farm.
However those who actually sympathize
with the elder Dillinger should hope that he
doesn't count too much on his theatrical career.
The farm probably will pay better dividends
in the long run. not only financially, but also
in the essential requirements Of a bereaved
family-peace and quiet.

bloody troubles Of Europe today arise in large
part because Of the denial Of democracy.
Austria, swept by the repercussions Of an
assassination ominously similar to that Of
Franz Ferdinand twenty years ago, simply is
the most recent example.
For the underlying cause Of such disorders
is the feet that ordinary democratic processes
have been suspended. Racked and torn by
cross-currents OF passion. resentment. and
despair that have been in the making ever
since the war, the central European peoples
have no way Of expressing themselves but with
guns
Germany furnished an object lesson a few
weeks ago.
Discomfort with the way the Nad policies
we're working out came 70 a head and de-
manded expression. No peaceful means Of ex-
preston was possible.
Men could not argue their cause. they could
not propaganda by means of newspapers and
magazines they could not look forward to
chance to use ballots The machine gun and
the revolver became their only recourse-and
so, inevitably, the government had to use the
same implements in replying to them
Now it is Austrias turn, and the same kind
of thing happens. Instead of a political cam
paign. with speeches, pamphlets, advertise
ments, and so on, there must be a 'putsch,"
with bombs gunfre, assaSsinations and all
the rest. There is no other possible outlet for
discomfort.
One does not need to look at these tragic
happenings very long to get new realization
of the inestimable value of democracy.
Democracy has its weaknesses, to be sure
great and glazing, some Of them, for which we
often pay heavy price.
But it does provide a safety valve for pub
lie discomfort. 1t does make it possible for
people to get rid of a government, party, or
a policy which they do not like, in peaceful
and orderly way. 1t lets every man have his
say about the state of affairs about him; it
makes the appeal to force unnecessary.
We need to keep this constantly in mind
There are people in this country who profess
an admiration for Observation-Disclosures pro-
letarian. Fascist, or whatnot on the ground
that democracy is inefficient and unwieldy.
One look at the woes of Germany and Aus
tria is enough to show that democracy's bene-
fits are almost infinitely greater than its draw
backs.

Make Believe
BY EFFIE L. WORKMAN

- - ~ IL SfOAAhAnAN
Just around the corner
Lives little boy of three,
Who loves to play the game Of
make believe"
With a gaudy cap of red
Placed upon his touseled head
He becomes a fireman" brave as
he can be.
When I hear my doorbeu ring
I often find him there,
AS a salesman trying hard to sell
his wares.
With odds and ends of things
Wrapped in paper, tied with string
I must BUY, if I his childish fun
would share.
Sparkling eyes Of heavenly blue
Look up at me. while a grin
Slowly spreads across his dirty little
face.
He's as serious as can be,
This tiny boy Of three,
And willingly l would with him
change place.
Just to be a child again,
To be able to pretend,
In a game where illusions still are
real.
For the make-believe today,
That we each one try to play.
Is the masquerade Of things We
. would conceal

MURDER BY THOUSANDS

A STRIKING contrast between crime con-
- ditions in the United States and crime
conditions in England is drawn by j. H. Wal
lis, popular writer of detective stories, who has
devoted little spare time to comparing sta
tistics on real and fctional murders in the two
countries.
In England, he finds, detective story
writer's actually kill" more people than do
real-life murderers. In England there are
approximately 200 homicides a year, and the
fiction writer's can keep ahead of that mark
without half trying.
But in the United States-weIl Mr. Wallis
finds that American murderers remove some
$4,000 mortals from this earthly scene every
year; and that's a mark that even the most
active S. S. Van Dimes, Ellery Queens and
Mignon Eberharts can't hope to keep up with.
Which perhaps explains why the American
detective story generally has more homicides
in it than does the English variety. one MUIR
der. by itself. is an unusual and absorbing
thing, to an English reader. They have to
come in punches to thrill an American.

Liberal Viewpoint
LAY nR HARRY ELMER BARNES :

100000
cThis of two articles the film controversy
THE fundamental cultural issue involved in
Il the movement to purge the movies is one
of far greater significance than is usually per-
ceived. It goes more deeply than the question
of the profits of a great industry or the salaries
Of its artists.
It also is something wider than the issue Of
whether or not self-constituted bodies shall
control the education, morals and art OF the
American people.
1t brings sharply to the fore the basic ques-
ton Of who shall be our guides in so advanced
and highly civilized an age as the second quar-
ter of the twentieth century.
Moving pictures are more than an industrial
product They are, or certainly should be-
prominent element in our culture, ranking with
the newspapers, radio and the stage.
They have already attained marvellous de-
velopment as a manifestation of applied science
and popular art. In spite of all the valid crlti-
cisrn which may be leveled against them it is
doubtful that any other notable achievement OF
recent capitalstic enterprise offers more to the
public for its money or contains slight an
element of evil in proportion to the educational
and recreational facilities provided.
A LlOST any sane and civilized man would,
IA however, welcome any intelligent move
ment, within or without the films, to insure bet
ter pictures. We would profit greatly If we
could have productions which deal with more
vital and realistic themes. The movies could do
far more than they accomplish at present in the
way of popular education and social guidance.
While not a movie addict myself, have GER
tainly seen representative movies which fall into
every category of film production.
I have been frequently impressed with the
insufferable dizziness or the incredible trlvlallty
and mbecility of many pictures.
L VEN this most deadly charge against the
T. movies-that of a prevailing trend toward
triviaity, nonsense and too often sheer I'M
6ecility-may be lodged quite as much against
the American public as against the him IN
dustry.
I am personally we'll acquainted with some
Of the leading producers and know that they
would much prefer to make their millions out
of worthy and educational films if they could
do so.
Many a producer has spent large sums in
making pictures which dealt intelligently With
an important current social theme only to find
that the antics of one of his clowns brought in
hundred-fold more paid admissions.
Inasmuch as the film industry is not
charitable enterprise, but one of the most highly
organized and extensively equipped of capital
istic undertakings, it can hardly be blamed II 1t
produces what the public wants.
No honest and fair critic of the movies can
we'll alIege that the producers have been as
reluctant to give us films providing both social
education and a high order of entertainment
as the public has been in giving the necessary
support to such laudable efforts.

DOLLARS AND DEBTS

WHAT a great hullabaloo reactionaries
w are raising over the cost Of the New
Dealt
They speak in terms of dollars But after
all. a dollar is only a measure of value.
governments debt problems are little differ
ent from the debt problems Of farmer or
manufacturer A farmer doesn't reckon his
debt in dollars. but in bushels of wheat or corn
or bales OF cotton. And manufacturer
reckons his debt in the finished goods he pro-
duces SO, too, must a government reckon its
debts in terms Of commodities produced, which
in the final analysis constitute the wealth Of
the nation.
Perhaps the most accurate way of compar-
ing the debt burden before the New Deal with
the debt burden OF today would be to make
computation based on wholesale price indices
then and now But that is a mathematical
task too forbidding for hot weather Another
interesting comparison could be made by
weighing the public debt of eighteen months
ago against the income OF the people IN the
last wear OF the Old Deal. and comparing it to
a similar computation showing the ratio that
exists between the public debt Of today and
the income of the people in the first year OF
the New Deal But that also is a tough sta
tistical Job.
However. there is a simple way to measure
the public debt. And that is to do it in terms
Of commodities.
How many bushels OF wheat would have
been required 10 pay the public debt in March.
1888. at the birth OF the New Deal? How
many bushels would De required to pay the
public debt today? How many bales Of cot
tom How many barrels of oil?
Here. roughly. are the figures. I'm paren-
theses are commodity priCes-average in the
month Of March. 1888 and the average last
week.:
Debt in Dollars-AIarch. 1888, $4,000 OOO.-
600: July. 1884: S27.O 100000.
Debt in wheat-Nlarch. 1888. 42s billion
bushels ,4s cents q bushell; July. 1884. 81
billion bushels tS7 cents busheD.
Debt in Cotton-Aiarch, 1888. 600 million
bales q cents pound July 1884 1852 mil
hon bales G27 cents pound.
Debt in Oil-March. 1888 $50 billion bar
rels lSs cents a 0arren; July. 1884, 2s.7 billion
barrels "a cents barreD.
The same KIND OF comparison might be
made with dozens OF other commodities TO
show now the New Deal has made the public
debt easier 10 bear.
OF course. this IS an oyer-simphhcauOn OF
a complicated situation. but it IS al least sug-
sestivs.

IT'S NOT so LIVELY
IN EDINBURG

BY Main Street Observer.
DR.. Thurman Rice of Indiana
university was appalled, at the COM

citizens despite the fact that a
typhoid epidemic was raging in

I don't believe DR.. Rice's expert
ence will be complete until he has
made his home in community of
1000 or Whereabouts.
I live in Edinburg, an apathetic

We are a SNUG, self-satisf1ed
group, content to pass judgment on
our neighbors and their affairs and
quite convinced that our community
represents Wells idea of Utopia.
We have been without bank for
two and one-half years and during
that time our merchants have never
made an effort to organize new
bank, despite the fact that the clos
ing of the bank caused decline of
so per cent in reatil sales.
Our merchants association has
not held a meeting in nine months
nor has the president or secretary
or the members made any effort TO
get together.
One of our leading citizens became
president of a bank in Franklin,
investing several thousand dollars,
because he found no sentiment ex-
listed here for bank
A state health board representa-

With the exception of those ma

DILLINGER CARTOON

titled, The End of the Trail" How

you are going to overlook a lot of
things from now on.

is. now taking place, by throwing
good public money after bad private
debts of all kinds, only aggravateS
the anemic condition Of our para
lyzed capitalism.
Half of the supposed value Of

four years Of capital contraction.

Grafton, being graduated from our

The question is not one of back
