LEAVES MAKE HIG w A Y
TREACHEROUS

Motorists are cautioned that falling
leaves on the highways make spe-
cially hazardous driving. The fast
driver whose tires happen to strike
loose leaves on the highway, espe-
cially when they are wet, is liable to
go into tail spin which may result
seriously to the passengers in his
car. Macadam roads are particular
ly dangerous but even the non-skid
concrete roads are risky.

HALLOWEEN FRANKS

Halloween was quietly observed.
for the most part, in our town.
Masqueraders paraded the streets in
the evening, threw corn and marked
store windows and autos indiscrimi-
nately with soap, but very little
property was displaced. A number
of the rising generation, who tore
down wire fencing and did other
similar pranks at the school grounds,
had the fun of rebuilding the fence
and replacing the removed property
the next day, under threat.

fight fire that had broken out in the

SPORTSMEN URGED TO EXER-
CISE CARE

With the approach of the 1884 fall
hunting season, sportsmen are re-
Quested to exercise extreme care
with fire in the forests. Recent dry
periods and high winds have put the
forests in an inflammable condition
and little care by those using the
woods for hunting and recreational
purposes will go long way in pre-
venting forest fires and preserving
game for the future.

NEW DEAL LIBERTIES

A VERY interesting and Informative docu-
4 - ment is Liberty Under the New Deal"
annual report of the American Civil Liberties
Union
1t surveys the whole field of civil liberties
in the last year, and finds
That the rights and liberties of the people
are more respected under the New Deal than
they were under the old.
That, contrary to its critics. the New Deal
has not gagged the press or the radio and
that there is more freedom of expression
today than before the New Deal
That minorities have been better treated
persecution of aliens has abated, Indian affairs
are handled with greater sympathy and under
standing, more liberal colonial policies have
been adopted, marines have been ordered home
from Caribbean dependencies. and the Philip
pines have been started toward independence
That the expressions which afflict the peo-
pie are holdover practices of the old deal
rather than innovations of the new and that
the chief critics of the New Deal are the chief
oppreSsorS
That even under the New Deal the United
States has not regained its once proud status
as an asylum for political refugees, and the
prosecuted, fleeing from Fascist relationships
knock IN vain at our doors.
That entrenched privilege has been able to
Illustrate the efforts of the New Deal to make
good on its promises to labor implied in its
encouragement OF the formation OF trade
unions, that collective bargaining is a right
asserted in law but not protected in, practice
1T is obvious. therefore" concludes the
Civil Liberties Union report, that in those
fields where economic issues OF power and
privilege do not involve its policies, the New
Deal makes for larger exercise of civil lib
erty. But when those policies affect the profits
and power of the ruling economic class, it is
timid or ineffective. Despite the unparalleled
power of the federal government, effective con-
troll over the exercise of civil liberties in the
United States rests where it always has been
with the masters of property"

HUMANITY TAKES HOLD

THERE is a certain large American city
Il which possesses ali enlightened and ac-
tive Juvenile court. Not long ago ore Of the
city's newspapers set out to compare the way
Youthful offenders are handled by this court
with the way similar offenders we're handled
before the court was established.
What was learned is worth repeating here
as an object lesson.
Consider the case of Jimmie. for instance;
Jimmie the 11-year-old who kept running
away from home and who said he was going
to go on doing it.
The juvenile court authorities had talk
with Jimmie. They found out that he ran
away from home. very simply. because he was
unhappy there. He felt that he wasn't getting
the breaks his older brothers lay abed late
and had nothing to do after they die get up,
but Jimmie was routed out at 6 every morning
and kept at routine of household drudgery
all day long. He had no time to play and he
got precious little love or attention.
So the courts first step was to give Jimmie
a room in the juvenile detention home-a
clean, up-to-date building surrounded by play
grounds and equipped with books toys, and
so on not in the least like q Jail.
While Jimmie stayed there, enjoying life
for change, court officers went to his home
and began the job of Strengthening out things
with his parents so that when he came back.
he could have something like normal boy
hood and something like a fair break in the
division of family duties.
The reporter who learned all of this, hav-
ing seen how lad like Jimmie fares when an
enlightened and conscientious juvenile court
looks after him, then tried to find out what
used to happen to such boys a decade or
more ago, before the court was functioning
The contrast is enlightening.
Ten years ago the cop who picked Jimmie
up would have logged him off to jail, forth
with The only questioning he got would have
been from policemen; he would have spent
some time in an unclean cell, in close proxi-
nifty to drunks aged vagabonds, pickpockets
and all the other bits of human driftwood that
land in the police lookup.
Eventually he would have gone back home
carrying a stigma His parents would have
padded him, the neighborhood children would
have teased him, nothing would have been
done to alleviate his unpleasant home condi-
tions-and in all probability by this time he
would have developed into fuIl-fedged out
law, an enemy of society made bitter by So
ciety's injustice
An ounce of prevention, they say, is worth
a pound of cure. A juvenile court which keeps
unfortunately placed youngsters from growing
up into crooks is WORTH to the city which sup
ports it, infinitely more than it can possibly
cost

SLEEP. LITTLE MAN

THE body OF John Herbert Dillinger was
l. back home today-bsck nome for burial
IN a plot at Crown Hill cemetery.
Throngs Of morbidly curious made frantic
efforts to catch a glimpse Of John Diliinger's
mourning relatives. of the funeral services
and Of the coffin that bears the body of the
man known as Americas most infamous
criminal.
1t is pulling to thinking persons to even
approximate guess to the reason for the
peculiar mob alteration that has attached it
self to the Dillinger myth.
John Dilinger was myth in himself For
ne was not a big-time criminal, not bg-time
gunman. as America. oddly enough. uses the
words "big-time.'
John Dilinger was petty, little gunman
who by chance became known as the leader of
a band of ruthless desperadoes. Whether
DiIinger was the leader of that gang is prob
lematical
There are those who claim to be on the
INSIDE" who say that Harry Pierpont, that
shallow. vain killer was the leader. Still
others contend that John Hamilton. still free,
was the DOSS OF LnlS gang ol Clledp CAliilllldlo
which gained itself notoriety.
Dilhnger was a little man. He proved that
by his actions after his parole from prison.
. More than $50 persons who lived in Moores1
vile signed a petition pleading for Dillinger's
release.
John Dillinger had pledge to fulfill to
those Mooresvile residents who, by signing
that petition. had testified that they knew
John Dillinger would go straight" But. Dill
lnger was not big enough to go straight His
father and others of his relatives have said
repeatedly that a long first term had ruined
the young man.
The truth of the matter probably. is that
DiIinger didn't have the nerve TO go straight.
He couldn't stand up and take it like man.
John Herbert Dillinger-the little man
stayed in the path of crime-the easiest path
to follow.
There was no mercy shown to Sheriff
Jesse Sarber in Lima, o. the day Dillinger
was set free There was no mercy shown to
Patrolman William P. OMalley in East Chi
cago the day Dillinger was behind the machine
gun.
There was no need for mercy to John
Dilinger last Sunday night when he was
trapped by federal agents.
John Dillinger lived the life of a little man.
He died little man with the bullets Of the
law thudding into his body.
Sleep. little man.

In the old days when Mr.. Moore had nothing
to do with the state department, but was
congressman, he met colleague tlolh AeA"S Al

Good morning, Judge!" said the colleague.
why do you call me Judge" inquired Mr..
Moore You know very we'll I'm not a judge
I'll tell you," replied the other. Down in
Texas when we meet man and hes very hano-
some we call him Colonel If he's passaoly
good looking we call him General, and II he S
ugly we call him Judge"
But 1 turned the tables on him" smiled
Moore as he told the story. Il stretched Out
my hand and said Happy to know you, Mr..
Chief Justice"

He seized the knife in one hand held an

He tipped top after top into the air, as

A MOUTHFUL

CIGHTSEERS in Washington soon will find
- it necessary TO take a very, very deep
breath when passing the home office of the
commerce observation-disclosures building in the
capital.
Stone-carvers are at work on inscriptions
that will run along the top of the buildings
four sides. Royal Cortissoz, art critic, wrote
the Inscriptions, and Mr.. Cortissoz apparently
is not one to be feazed by blank space longer
than city block. Like the magician and his
rabbits, he can pull out of his hat sentence
to fit any given space
Here IS one of the CortiSSoz mouthfuls now
being immortalized. Breathe deeply and try it:

AFTER THE VOTING
THE voters at Danville, KY, hanged a state
= legislator in efigy the other day.

THE voters at Danville, KY, hanged state
= legislator in efigy the other day.
The gentleman in question had promised
his constituents to vote against sales tax
bill in the legislature. For one reason or an
other, it is charged, he forgot the promise;
so the boys back home got a rope and
stuffed dummy and expressed themselves
about it.
Now this sort of thing-wholly aside from
the merits of this particular case, or the
benefits or otherwise of a sales tax-is what
we need a lot more of in politics.
Voters who hang legislator in effigy are
at least showing keen interest in the way
they are being governed. Public apathy is
the greatest of all foes of good government.
Voters who express themselves as these Ken
tuckians did are not letting things go by de-
fault.
