WHO'S HASTY NOW?
al scRIPPs-nowARp NEWsPAPERl

DRESIDENT ROOSEVELTS critic', includ-
ing Colonel Lindbergh. think he was
bit hasty in taking the air mail away from
the commercial companies and turning it over
to the army. Experience proves them partly
right. Despite the critics, the President had
to cancel private contracts once he was con-
vlnced they were made in collision. But the
President was wrong-or rather misinformed
by his advisers-in thinking that the army
fiers had the equipment and training neces-
ssry to take over the Job temporarily on short
notice.
3 Characteristically the President having dis
covered by experience that he was partly
wrong, is now trying to set the matter right.
In the process he pays Colonel Lindbergh the
high compliment Of asking him to serve the
country on special committee of experts.
Colonel Lindbergh, much to the surprise
Of every one, has declined. OF course his
refusal of service IS based on principle. After
a gracious acknowledgment of the honor, he
says in his telegram to Secretary of War
Dern;
Il do not feel that can take part directly
forces of American business and commerce."
With equal respect for the principles of
Colonel Lindbergh as for those of the Presi-
dent. we venture to ask:
Who is hasty now?"
. Does the army merit such scorn?
After all, the army is doing pretty good
commercial job on the Panama Canal and
in the Inland Waterways Corporation. 1t is
not impossible that it might do a good job
with the air mail. given fair chance But
the President already has announced that he
intends to return to a system of commercial
air mail So the job now becomes one lsr~oly
Of co-ordinating commercial and military
aviation.
That, surely. is no great inroad on the
private business which Colonel Lindbergh rep
resents Hasn't he IN turn been bit haSty
in washing his hands of this service?

insisted on going ahead with the vote after
it had been informed that defeat was ineyi-
table shows that the President knew it was
not a test vote politically and could not
jeopardize his other measures.
The test votes that matter are Of the kind
he has won in the past and which he faces
in the future when congress determines the
fate of such vital measures as the stock ex-
change and labor dispute bills. In such votes
the division cuts across both sectional and
party lines and is either for or against the
new deal So far there is no reason to fear
that the President vii. be defeated on deter
mining issues.

Another City Man Speaks

ecutive that I was "too early in
the season." He said that if
would call a few months later
when the farm work started, 1
would have a much better chance
of getting employment, and that
some of the men would be back
on the farm then for the spring,
summer and fall work.
I had, I think, three doctors
names, for whom I had taken
care of patients, on my applica-
ton. 1t is another case of the
farmer on city and state employ
ment leaving out the city man. I
ask all of The Times readers, "Is
that fair?"
Give us city men and women
break, and there will be one I
know who gladly will give his
place in the soup line to some one
else, and who will do what he can
to help some one else in need.

LAND PLANNING

MO better argument for the administra-
tons plan for retiring sub-marginal
land has been given than that of Howard
Tolley, the assistant administrator of the
agricultural adjustment act.
Millions of human lives, he said, worn out
and wasted in grubbing an existence from
poor soil would be conserved by this program.
The government only has about SIS 900 900
to spend for this purpose now. This lit does
not intend to squander; it does not intend
to rush headlong into buying land and moving
peoples. Slowly, it hopes to acquire this land
and put people now trying to exc out living
from it on more fertile acres; then supply
them, perhaps, with part-time jobs in small
industries to increase their cash income
This is longtime program 1t would be
even if the government had hundreds of
millions to spend. There are other ways of
providing immediate relief. plans that can be
put into motion Immediately without upsetting
our economy.
But behind these emergency relief plans
must be some longtime program for the
improvement of agriculture. The edministra-
ton has such program, and its intention to
retire submarginal acres is a part of it.
Our SOIL" said Mr. Tolley, els our basic
resource, our farm people are our foundation
stock. We have racked and drained them
numerically under the old system of
unrestricted laissez-faire.'
Our present programs of adjustment and
restoration are designed to conserve the fun
damental resources of this soil and of the
national mind and spirit"

Grating unique portraits with his
pen,
He left the world a priceless heri-
tage.
And now his spirit comes to us
again..
Reviving faith, much needed IN this
age.
Lost in his thoughts he walked the
London streets,
Embracing in his dreams, along the
way,
Such characters as those one often
meets,
Despite the fact some think them
strange today.
Is Mrs. Leo Hunter false or real?
Can we deny that Scrooge is living
still?
Kit, Little Nell, Micawber, ALL, we
feel,
Exist today as then, and always will.
No priest has touched with solemn
words and looks
So many hearts as he has with his
books.

REVIEWS ATTACK ON

During these times of depression
why not give the street car COM
pany little publicity
We, the depressed public, are pay
ing a 10-cent bus fare and a 7
cent street car fare, which was out
of reason in normal times. Now,
when nickels are as big as wagon
wheel, and the street car company
is going to do so much for our city
in the way of new cars, new buses
and new improvements, and park
ing places are at premium down.

Then we all will ride the cars and

Tested, or could leave their homes
without fear of robbery.
There are some prosecutors, judges
and criminal lawyers and other law
officials who are more guilty of
crime than the criminals themselves
as they permit criminals to go free
to repeat their crimes or perform
worse crimes than before. 1t does
not take a smart lawyer to tell a
lie. Any one can do that. Most
any one can bride if he would sink
so low.
The public has stood for this sort
Of legal manipulation too long. The
time is here, when, if such procedure
does not stop at once, we will have
to revert to the old type of law en-
forcement; discharge our prose-
cutors, judges and other law en-
forcement agencies and neglect our
businesses, if necessary, to enforce
punishment-and if this comes to
pass-it won't belong until this will
be a country where there won't be
many criminals and We again can
breathe and save the taxpayers a
lot Of money unwisely spent.

GOVERNOR RAPED FOR
SHERIFF HOLLEY ATTACK
BY a Woman Voter

BY Woman Voter
The women voters of Indiana
should keep in mind that our Gov
ernor now is requesting the resig-
nation of the only woman sheriff
in Indiana, thereby showing his
colors once again as being opposed
to women either being appointed or
being elected to any political Offices
although their votes are an element
of Importance to any candidate.
Governor McNutt has not seen fit
to appoint woman to any major
Office.
Queer that he did not ask for
wholesale" designations at the
state prison when Dillinger and his
gang walked out and not one word
has been said in complaint of the
sheriff of Hamilton county, who
permitted Red Giberson to walk
out, and, if I remember correctly,
Giberson's coat, hat, etc., were kept
quite handy for him to get so he
would not suffer from Indiana's
cold weather.
If Sheriff Holley is to be cr1tl-
cised, let it be for some of the
things she is credited with having
said following the escape of Dill
linger, such as, "If 1 find him I'll
shoot him in the head" and Il wish
he had shot and killed me-" etc.
These speeches were childish.
I think all women's organizations
interested in women holding public
offices should appeal to Sheriff Hol-
ley not to resign and appeal to
Governor McNutt not to demand it,
as it might set a precedent and he
might be forced to ask for the resig-
nation of some political male pet
at some future time.
Going from the sublime to the RI
diculous, I bet Governor McNutt
would like to "get" Frances Perkins
Job. That it's much too big for any
woman is probably his opinion.

He was so nice-he never even sWore
We treated him like a lord.

Alas! John found us wanting in

He locked us in and that made us

He grabbed up our best gun
And for his partner another one

We all implore.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, September 15.-
Discussions between Gov. Albert C.

The Governor today invited DIR.
Conley, whom he defeated for the
Democratic gubernatorial nomina-

DR.. Conley had previously issued

it."
Ritchie informed DR.. Conley he
would be glad to discuss the platform
with him "on any day before the
convention meets next Thursday"
In his statement, DR.. Conley, who
polled some 10000 votes in the
