Red Idea, But Good!

1t seems to be heresy Of the black
est-or reddest-sort to suggest that
the Russians ever have q notion
worth copying in this country. Still
the land Of the Soviets does seem to
sprout a bright idea once In q while.
Probably you read about the solemn
trial in which a pair Of galoshes was
convicted and found guilty Of being
Of inferior workmanship. The galosh-
es were formally arraigned before q
Moscow court. Witnesses testified
that they Just weren't good for any
thing-they leaked. they fell apart,
they didn't TT. they looked like the
dickens.
The result was q sentence order
ing the quality Of the galoshes to be
improved at once.
Now this notion that 1t Is q crime
to inflict shoddy goods on the public
well, those Of Us who have OCCASION
ally paid good money for articles that
proved practically worthless might
easily feel that that Is q pretty sen
sible sort Of idea.

ture that can be inflicted on any
man.
Our legal system, In other words,
was unable to correct an obvious
mistake without inflicting an appall-
ing injustice which can never quite
be righted.
Now look at it from the other
angle-the case where a real GRIM
inal Is convicted and appeals. In hts
case, too, there is a long delay. The
deterrent effect Of his sentence is
automatically lessened.
If he awaits execution, he, too, suf-
fers long-drawn mental torture; it
convicted of a lesser crime, he may
actually be out on bail for year or
more after his sentence, free to re-
peat the offense for which he was
originally arrested.
Either way, this long delay Is an
intolerable thing. II we are the eff.
cient nation we believe ourselves to
be, we should find some way Of rush.
ing things SO that only a few weeks
may elapse between sentence and
final disposition Of the case. The
present system is unendurably clumsy.

GIRL IN THE FAMILY"
w. By BEATRICE BURTON

From the opposite side Of the table
Susan's father lifted his voice in
surprise and indignation. He half
rose in his chair and his angry
glance went quickly from Aunt
Edna's face to Lutie's. "Those are
mine-to give away or not to give
away, ~ I see fit"
Aunt Edna looked at him, her lips
parted in an . Of astonishment.
"Wny, Morris, you don't have any
use :or these things" she said, "and
they we're Susan's mothers. They're
Ill marked with q &C. for Cullen"
Morris Broderick smileS, his
small dark mustache lifting to show
his full red lips. He was much
smarter than usual this morning,
with . wing collar and a white pip
ing in his vest.
"As . matter Of fact, am going
- have . use for them" he said.

CAUGHT WITH THE PORES OPEN

CAUGHT WITH THE PORES OPEN
How about It, Doc, asks A. 1. F
enclosing = clipping which tells how
man was poisoned by the spray
which he was using on potato plants
On . Friday. The man was better on
Saturday, and DR.. So-and-so said the
patient would probably be released In
q day or two. The item goes on tc
explain that the man was poisoned
by q solution Of arsenic and nicotine
entering the body through the pores
Of the skin.
I suspect the reporter contributed
the explanation Of the manner in
which the poisoning occurred. Ply
sicians are getting more cautious
every day about committing them
selves like that. How Is the doctor to
know In such q case that some parloT
practitioner or other may not pounce
on the thing and play it up in the
papers q . humorous item?
In the same mail came another
letter from q reader who encloses q
clipping Of a story about the rescue
Of the Conner child, and In this clip
ping another eminent colleague, the
head Of . hospital, is quoted as .
strong believer in pores. This savant
makes no bones Of it at all, but comes
right out in unmistakable quotation
marks saying that q rainstorm on
the night the child was lost may
have saved the child,s life, for he be-
ieved enough water could have en-
tered the infants system through the
pores Of his skin to prevent complete
dehydration even though he found
no water to drink.
But on sober second thought the
doctor evidently decided to ease down
q bit on that. Or other doctors,
rushing into print, thought It well to
temper the claim somewhat. One
other doctor Is quoted as follows:
He could have absorbed moisture
through his pores when 1t rained and
from the wet underbrush, but he
could not get enough moisture that
way. :"

Robbing the Insured
Chicago Daily Tribune)

OssAsSI
The acquiescence with which peo-
pie have accepted the initiation Of
their currency recalls the story Of the
French Communist who was talking
about the equal distribution Of all
property. Someone said to him,
why see here, CASTOR, If you di-
vided all the property 1t would only
mean q few hundred francs each"
Replied CASTOR. True, but 500 francs
combined with TOO already have
would make . thousand francs, q tidy
sum to take care Of a man In his old
age"
Those who are in debt on property
and have welcomed the coming Of
initiation to restore the pre-boom
value may In the end realize that OBJ
jective, but suffer a far greater loss
In the diminution Of the value Of life
insurance which they have made life
long sacrifices to keep up. Life in
surance outstanding In this country
amounts to I total Of q hundred bill
lion dollars and 1t IS widely distrib-
uted. BY the legislation rushed
through congress by the administra-
ton last year the dollar was devalu-
ated. This has already resulted in
the destruction Of II per cent of the
value Of insurance each policyholder
originally took out. There is author
ity In the president, and he has not
said that he would not use it, to re-
duce the dollar by another per cent.
In addition, according to Senator
Bulkley Of Ohio, a close Democratic
adviser Of the president, the next
congress will be asked to give the
president authority to devaluate the
dollar further and that means au-
thority to write off additional amounts
Of insurance.
This progressive devaluation went
on In Italy until the insurance that
was left outstanding was only q per
cent Of what the insured had been
paying for. France similarly extin-
guished % per cent Of the outstand-
Ing life insurance. And in Russia
and In Germany the write-off be-
came 100 per cent. SO far only Il
pr cent Of the real value Of insur-
anoe policies has been wiped out here.
But the administration which took
this outrageous action is now asking
for approval Of what 1t has done and
authority to 60 further. The Ameri-
can people will say by their votes at
the November election whether they
approve Of the appropriation Of their
insurance funds and Of the further
appropriation such as was carried on
BY the French, Italian, and German
governments. They are offered as q
reward for indorsing such action 8
possible rise in the value Of thei,
property. The people will deny thu
authority for doing this unless the,
are g foolish and as blind as CASTOR

Gangsterism Depends on
Corrupt Politics

It IS reported in Washington that
federal agents who investigated the
famous Kansas City Union Station
massacre" have uncovered start
ling tie-up between gangsters and
politicians In that city.
They have found SO much evidence,
1t is said, that federal grand Jury
is to be impaneled to hear all about
It.
Now the only really surprising
thing about this is the fact that such
a disclosure should come as sur
prise. As . general rule, you may
take it for granted that when any
city is plagued by gangsters, those
gangsters have some kind Of UNDER
standing with someone in the city's
political LIE.
This does not refer to Kansas City
alone, nor does it refer to any par
ticular group in Kansas City's poll
tics. It Is simply an axiom of mod
ern American life; and the way we
persistently shut our eyes to it is
the chief reason we continue to have
gangs.
There is nothing mysterious about
modern gangs. They aren't such ex-
cessively secret organizations that
honest, efficient, and unhampered
police forces cannot cope with them.
The cops almost invariably have a
pretty fair idea who runs them, how
they operate, what they do, and when
and why they do it. And any city
government that honestly wants to do
SO can usually drive them out Of
business In short order.
This IS = statement that needs to
be made over and over again. Gang
sterism Is part Of the price we pay
for rotten municipal politics. This Is
truer now than ever before. since re-
peal has knocked out public support
of the underworld's chief source Of
revenue.
To be sure, it remains perfectly
true that the roots Of American crime
60 deep In the social fabric. Slums
have a part In it, and faulty legal
machinery helps 1t to sprout.
Our emphasis on money as the sole
yardstick to be used in measuring q
mans success or failure Is big fac
tor. Our diversified population. the
absence Of . unifying national ira
dition, the lawless temper Of the land
generally-all these help gangsterism
grow.
But In the last analysis the city
gang is the product of political COR
ruption. No one need be surprised
to hear that this or that city Is If
flicted by . gangster- politician a.
lance. II the gangsters are present
such alliance may be taken 10,
granted.

A pore Is an opening through
which something Is absorbed or taken
IN. There are no such openings II
the human skin. Don't take my word
for It. Find . psychologist who will
tell you there are pores In the skin
Find q textbook Of anatomy Or histol-
ogy microscopic anatomy that de-
scribes pores. Find any evidence ct
all that anything, food, water, gas,
air, medicine, poison or any other
substance is absorbed through the
unbroken skin and I'll publish an
apology for having attempted to mis-
lead the public about this. But for
heavens sake, don't cite some long
dead doctor or some slippery German
medical writer who implies, without
frankly saying 50, that In some cir
cumstances certain chemicals or poi
sons may be absorbed through the
skin. No fun fitting with windmills.
The man poisoned by the spray
either inhaled It or actually swallow

Laws Delay Unfair

The laws delay has been proverbial
since the time Of Shakespeare. But
las Mark Twain once remarked
about the weather-although every
body talks about 1t, nobody ever
seems to do anything about it.
These delays add q vexing and In
calculable element to our admins
tration Of criminal justice. They cut
two ways-against the interests Of
society Is . whole, and against the
rights Of men accused Of crime.
Consider the case Of David A.
Lamson. the young Stanford UNI
versity Press executive who was con-
victed . year ago Of numbering his
wife, and to whom the California 81.
preme court only recently granted 4
new trial.
Young Lamson's wife was found
dead in their home on the morning
Of Memorial Day, 1888. Lamson waa
accused Of killing her and VA
brought to trial early in the fall. He
was convicted and sentenced to hang,
and was lodged in condemned cell
at San Quentin prison.
His attorneys prosecuted an appeal
and the case came before the SUI
preme court several weeks ago. In
it, decision. just handed down. THU

BY RODNEY BUTCHER
Tribune Warrington Correspondent

Washington, Oct. 29.-As far as the
administration Is concerned, General
johnson hit the nail squarely on the
thumb in his last press conference,
when he extolled the virtues Of the
direct cash dole.
When the incredible general de-
cried other forms Of relief-such as
work programs-he arayed himself
In direct opposition to the whole
scheme Of Roosevelt policy as it is
now being secretly formulated to
meet the winter relief load.
Roosevelt has decided that the New
Deal should get as far away from
straight relief as it possibly can.
His plan, now In embryo, aims to
take everyone off the relief rolls and
give them some kind OF work.
He Is bound to fall short of that
goal. But he is tired Of relief Of the
present type, thinks the country also
Is tired Of 1t, believes it is bad for
everybody's morale. and recalls the
tonic nature Of CWA last winter.
Hopkins. Ickes, and Richberg agree.
So you can look for something
big In the way Of . program
which will stress municipal prof.
ects Of AL types. Construction,
demolition, railroad underpass
work and community swimming
pools aro among the things be-
ing discussed.
The plan, . sYnthesis Of PWA,
CWA, and other work programs, viii
be aimed chiefly at the larger cities,
where most Of the unemployment Is.
And 1t Is going to be rather expensive.
SCANDAL BREWS
The New Dealers are wincing under
their first approach toward a scan
dial and wondering whether It can be
blown up sufficiently by the Repub-
licans for campaign use. You will be
interested to hear that our old friend,
Undersecretary Of Agriculture Rex
Tugwell. appears unhappily In the
picture.
At Beltsville, Md, the Department
Of Agriculture set out to build up .
marvellous experimental farm, using
PWA money. About a million dollars
was allocated for the animal hus-
bandry section and Earl Sheets, chief
Of the Animal Husbandry Division,
was assigned to direct construction
Of that unit. In charge Of the en-
tire operation was DR.. Tugwell.
Large forces Of CCC and CWA
i vOhAn A,.A
million dollars Is spent, the ami
NAL husbandry project u no more
than two-thirds finished, and
Sheets. In disgrace, has been de.
NOTED to department field sta
ton In Florida. Attempts 70 sup.
press publicity have failed.
The inside story Of this little fiasct
Is that Sheets was scientist who
shouldn't have been placed in charge
