THE MONETARY BARRAGE

THAT salty old British sage, Frances Ba-
con, suggested that there are some four
idols" which very powerfully obStruct the
clarity of human thought. One of them he
describes as the idol of the theater,' or the
tendency to ride hobbies or follow single
track plans of reform Often these hobbies
embody a great deal of truth. but those who
give sole devotion to them find it difficult to
maintain the proper perspective or to give
adequate attention to other considerations.
1t is. perhaps. not entirely unfair to regard
some of our current monetary enthusiasts as
victims of this idol of the theater" Monetary
standards and relationships can not be safely
ignored. They are an integral part of our
complex economic order. But it is a danger
Gus error to exaggerate them out of all rela-
tionship to reality.
Monetary issues are at best of secondary
significance under capitalism They should
mot be represented as of the first rank of i'm
portance. To do so misleads and misinforms
the public and diverts indispensable attention
from really vital considerations.

nents in the American economy were not of

depression, not will even the sanest, superficial
monetary reforms play dominant role in
leading us out of the wilderness and back into

Such monetary matters as enter deeply
into the cause of the depression are of
very broad and fundamental type. They are
not at all of the sort which We ordinarily
think OF in discussing standards of value and
price levels.

SOUNDS BATTLE CRY
FOR BUTLER STUDENT

BY Franklin King.
Do the courts of indianapolis de-
liver Justice? There is considerable
doubt in the minds of several hun
dred people in this city as to the de-
cision given by Judge William H.
Shaeffer against Butler university
student Thursday.
This youth was driving north on
Meridian street, and was stopped by
a motorcycle policeman who, Incl
dentally, called the lad a prevarica-
tor.
The fact that the officer did not
give the youth a sticker indicates
the doubt as to whether he really
was speeding. Oibel deleted)
There apparently was no official
record made of the arrest, but the
student, respecting law and order
and believing justice would be given,
went to the police station. This,
alone, indicates the sincerity and
the high character of the young
man.
The student was informed he was
to have the honor, the privilege and
pleasure of spending the night with
seasoned criminals and all that goes
with a night in jail. There is no
doubt but what this atmosphere is
degrading, to say the least. To add
insult to injury, the lad now was
accused Of having been drunk. This
is undeniably false accusation and
regardless of who is responsible,
some one should make public
apology. Is this the treatment usu-
ally accorded to one who never has
been arrested before?
This student is of high moral char
acter, emblematic of the American
college student of high ideals and
ambitions. He is working his way
through college.
Do instances such as this raise the
respect of the younger generation
for law and order? 1t even ques- |
tons the ACCESSIBILITY Of attempting
to do right.
What can Judge Shaeffer and his
associates expect of the leaders of |
the future if they are given this
type of assistance? There are too
many politicians and not enough !
statesmen today.

I have read much about our city

word as to how they treated my
father. who has been a cripple for
twenty-five years, but has managed
to rear family
In 1918, he bought a horse with
the approval Of humane veterinary.
Dr. Mcconnell. Officer Bledsoe killed
the horse when it had been con-
sidered o. K. by Drs. Mcconnell
and Banner.
My dad did not give up but went
on working hard and reared his
family. He now is past go.
This New Years day, he loaned
his horse to a man to bring his
wagon in from the north side. MY
brother went with him His horse
got down from some cause in the
alley north Of Thirty-sixth street,
east of College avenue
The neighbors called the police
md the police killed his horse,
without calling a veterinary or Civ
ing my father a chance to get there.
If the police and those neighbors
in that locality know what hard
ship they have placed on my dad.
they would all hide when they saw
a man driving a horse.

PEGLER COMES IN
FOR A RAP

by X. 4. Is.
Thanks to the editor of The
Times for finally placing the Broun
column in a definite location. It
is very propitious that it should be
opposite the Pegler column.
Pegler, who was ballyhooed as a
great colunnist, and worthy of
Ring Lardners mantle when COM
pared with Broun, thus far has
proved to be flat and insipid. He
still appears to be laboring under
the impression that he is getting
his pay envelope from the Chicago
Daily Tribune, and must make his
column accord with Tribune edito-
rial sentiment. A truly great writer
never could have stayed with the
Chicago Tribune for as long a pc
Rod as did Pegler.

! SUGGESTS MASS GREETINGS
TO PRESIDENT JAN. 30

By ]. W. Pierce
May 1 suggest a mass birthday
testimonial from the American peo-
pie to President Franklin D. Roose-
welt? On Jan. 80 he will be 81.
He has fired the hearts of his
countrymen with his own uncon-
querable spirit 1t is altogether
fitting that something of that in
spiration be passed back to him.
From the great ones Of earth he
will receive the conventional greet
ings accorded to rulers on their
birthdays Why should the great
masses be silent? Their appraisal
of his faith and courage is we'll
| nigh unanimous. Should not the
President have impressive token of
it on his natal day? He is a man,
not demigod, and as such he prizes
the esteem of his kind.
The means of conveying a mass
birthday greeting to the President
are available to every one. The l.
cent postcard on sale everywhere
not only is sufficient but appropri-
ate to the purpose. What if he can
read out an infnitesimal fraction
of the cards that would be sent him
if the people should write to him
en- masSe? The value of the token
would not be impaired in the Slight
est.
Let all good Americans write
their thanks and good wishes to
their valiant chief on his birthday.

The last time these schools
played was in 1905, There had
been pickering back and forth be-
tween the schools in previous
years, and finally they decided
to exploit their athletic talents on
other rivals.
One of the bitterest feuds OF re-
cent history in the East is now
happily ended, with Syracuse and
Cornell meeting on the gridiron.
Away back in 1900 the Orange
battled Cornell on and off the
gridiron and around and about
the town. The fight was such a
success that it was renewed on
any suitable occasion when Cor
nell man and Syracusean met.

WINTER DEALS

IN MAJORS
BY DAVIS ]. WALSH

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-Al Sim
mons, the $4,000 a year annuity,
is on his way from Chicago to
Detroit. Aloysius is the outfielder
for whom they moved the home
plate 10 feet up the foul line in
Chicago, the result being a dis
tinctly audible foul. Therefore,
the gent is on his way. Audible
fouls at 100000 a year are regard
ed as a luxury, even in Chicago
They have had audible machine
guns for nothing.
Biggest Ever
Anyhow, that's only part of it.
Baseball is on its way to the
biggest winter of trading it has
ever known.
In any event, these are the
trades that impend $50 to speak,:
The Chicago Cubs are hot after
Dizzy Dean, as who isn't? The
Cards may talk about going along
but the sale of Dean can show
them a profit before they start.
Cubs Seek Hurler
The Cubs also are after Van
Mungo and Leslie of the Dodgers;
the Dodgers are after some of
those Cub pitchers; also some of
those Cub outfielders, including
Babe Herman.
The Pirates are after Tony Cue
cinello, of the Dodgers, and the
Phillies are after anybody they
can catch.
AS for the latter, they can have
Weintraub, Ryan and Vergez for
Bartell or $150,000 and no ques-
tions asked.
Yanks After Higgins
The Yankees, meantime, are not
taking the signing of Foxx with
sufficient seriousness. They are
still after James and Mike Hig-
gins. the third baseman, and will
give anything within reason, in
Guiding the Metropolitan Museum
of Art. The Indians, it is as,

WALKER SHOWS
FEW MARKS
Of RING
By FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL
Times Staff Writer

For a dozen action-filled min
utes over at the Mohawk Athletic
Club in Southeast yesterday the
"Toy Bulldog of Rumson" barred
his fangs.
Those IL minutes we're spent in
a four-round workout with Mickey
Taylor, a beetle-browed, barrel
chested chunk of man with the
power of a draft horse. The Rum
son bulldog hooked and slashed
and countered in way that was
reminiscent of another and a hap
pier day in Fistlana.
The Toy Bulldog of RumSon as
you must know is Mickey Walker,
one time welterweight champion
of the world, likewise winner of
the worlds middleweight cham
pionship, and now at 80 years of
age and weighing 1852 pounds-the
weight at which Bob FitZsimmons
was best-is a match for most of
the heavyweight fighters in the
world today. Mickey will face
Matte Brown at the Washington
Auditorium tomorrow night.
Won Two Titles
Mickey has lived in the glove
and rosin dust realm for many
years. No man can win two titles
in the prize ring without having
plenty of heart and a lot OF
punching power. Fighting the
best the rugged life he chose
could send against him, Walker
bears few of the scars of his trade.
There is scar tissue over an eye,
the eye cut by Joe Dundee when
the Baltimore fighter beat Walker
in the Garden a long time ago.
Mickey's nose is twisted little,
but his ears are not gnarled and
misshapen knots of gristle.
Walkers legs are trim end
strong. When he boxed Taylor
he moved swiftly and easily into
punching range, and his left hook,
his deadly weapon of other years
beat Taylor's right repeatedly.
Walker looked like the Toy Bull.

Cards should be too strong for
Manhattan. However, due to re-
cent disasters, the Jaspers will be
fighting mad, and that means
tough going for c. U. Chick
Meehan will have his men in
spired for this one. A Meehan
team inspired means grave dan
ger for the opposition.
Georgetown has a first eleven
that can defeat N. Y. u. if the
Hoyas manage to fit themselves
mentally for the game. A study
of the Hoya offense leads one to
believe that G.. us tricky attack
will click in New York, come
Saturday afternoon. Georgetown
will not hesitate to forward pass
on first down, and if any one of
Georgetown's faster backs gets
into the clear, N. Y. U. will have
it's hands full hating the buoyed-
up Hoyas.
Battle of Passes
Probably no game in Amer
lea will surpass, if it equals
the Maryland-Florida battle in
solar as sensational, open foot
ball is concerned. Each team
has two or three excellent pass
ing combinations. Chase is Flor
ida's ace pegger. He throws
strikes with a football. Brown
Gator quarterback, and Rogers
a rangy TANKER, do the receiv
ing. Both Brown and Rogers
handle a thrown football like
big-league outfielder handles
fly-ball.
G. w. will be mighty wise not
to underestimate Wake Forests
Deacons. This observer has noted
that one of the most difficult of
assignments for any person
football scout or just plain foot
ball fans to determine just
how good a football team really
is by looking at it once OF
twice. Iowa State did not look

Rockies route with almost $780,

downs that won the game for st.

Your post season football game
such as the Rose Bowl spectacle
is sui generis. Nothing else COM
pares with it. Instituted in 1915,
the Rose Bowl game is the goal
of every teams ambition. But
