We have discovered that
former Governor Clifford
Pinchot, of Pennsylvania, is
interested in reds, for while
dining alone at one Of the
hotels the other evening, he
perused a small book Of what
looked like poems, in a bril-
liant shade of carmine which
almost but not quite matched
his knit tie. He looked per-
fectly fine, sunburned to a
pale bronze shade, which was
accented by his hair, which
is fast getting white.

WAY TO STOP BILLBOARDS

THE fight against the billboard nuisance
is usually hampered BY the fact that the
billboard is erected on private property and
is therefore held to be very nearly outside the
scope Of regulatory laws.
However, Nature Magazine points out that
the Massachusetts, Supreme Court recently
handed down decision ruling that society
which has the power to regulate against Of
lenses to the nose and the ear has also the
power to regulate against offenses to the eye.
The court is explicit in holding that the
billboard industry does not possess an in
aIienable right ito use private land as van
tage ground from which to obtrude upon all
the public travelling upon highways, whether
Indifferent, reluctant, hostile or interested, an
unacceptable propaganda
Those are welcome words, indeed. The de-
cision IS a landmark in the long fight to rid
our countryside Of its distressing eyesores.

LAW ENFORCEMENT

IRON all the reports coming from the boys
l. around town who are in the know" on I'M
derworld activities, the closing Of the "bookie'
shops is a purely political move and is a left
handed manner of putting the freeze on the
bookmakers who do not stand in with the adj
miniStration.
If that is true the Indianapolis police
department is making one Of the greatest mis-
takes Of its career. The responsibility rests
fatty with Chief Morrissey and his aids and
it will be well for them to explain how 81
gambling places in the city can be closed for
two weeks but not permanently.
Surely if the department, with its threats
Of jerking out phones and equipment can put
the chill on the bookmakers for two weeks,
the police should be able to stop the racket en-
tirely.
Further, if it is true that some of the places
will be allowed to resume operation after the
others are squeezed out of business, then the
police department is lending itself to tactics
that were the target Of criticism throughout
the prohibition era.
If the law is to be enforced in this city,
let it be done thoroughly
Members Of the police department, paid by
the taxpayers of this city, should be able to
find duties other than rearranging the horse
betting setup into a closed syndicate that will
be phoney.

A POLITICIAN IS HURT

WE now know that it has become sinful
W for party organizations to accept
contributions. We know that it is especially
sinful to accept contributions when the parties
who give them do or hope to do business with
the administration"
With such lofty sarcasm does Francis
Poulson, state Democratic chairman for
Ohio, reply to Federal Relief Administrator
Harry Hopkins revelation that the Ohio
Democratic machine has been collecting
campaign fund contributions" from firms
which sell supplies to the state relief admin
istration.
You could not get better sample of the
blind insolence of the politician. Such ele
CANT sarcasm about it being especially sin
full" to shake down people who hope to do
business with you!
Why, Of course it is especially sinful -
ana any one but a politician can see it at
glance How can We hope to make our de-
mocracy work smoothly, when party leaders
show such an arrogant obtusenesS to the
ethics of decent government?

Looking at America
BY GEN. HUGH S. JOHNSON

TULSA, Okla, March 26.-The doctors are in
l. Washington, the patients in the sticks 1t
is an eye-opener to look at him His present
trouble is neither the old disease nor the new
medicine. Too many prescriptions and too much
noise in the sick room have added new ailment
Of national filters.
We used to take patient to the market place
and let anybody prescribe who wanted to- Saw
age medicine men competing at a sick bed beat
toms. burn vitch-fres, scream lamentations
and try such magic tricks as the dried head of a
dead baby a serpent's fangs, and the fresh liver
of a white goat. combination Of these
methods is being practced now. There can't be
any cure in this boershop. If only the din
would die down believe that the patient would
get up and walk away.
Most people do not understand the hifaluting
language Of the economic part Of the debate and
they not such suckers as to be taken in by
the emotional appeal of the other part. Between
mummery one one side and ballyhOo on the
other they are badly confused
They understood that with millions out Of
work, and those with jobs laboring long hours at
starvation wages, if you reduced hours and
maintained wages, it might do some good. They
know that we tried it and that it made three
million Jobs. They do not understand the
abracadabra Of magic words that killed it-Some-
thing about national recuperative resultant Of
unlimited competition restoring free fux Of
economic forces operating at or near the norm in
secular or cyclical recurrence"
EEED some of that to man out of job and
L see what he does. Of course the pills are
sugar coated with oppression of the little fell
low antitrust and mother, home and heaven"
The blue-goggled boys who sell the patent
pain killers don't make the mistake of using
either sesqupedalian words or meaningless
hokum They offer every man king-divide
our wealth. and social justice" mixed in appeals
to greed envy, prejudice, malice and even
religion.
Both sides are tearing NRA to pieces. When
that is done we are going to hear from some
hitherto silent millions. They don't understand
the abracadabra, but they know what NRA
meant to them. The burden Of what people say
to me everywhere is ut helped to get me day
off or job or enough to keep my family. Does
this mean they are going to take that away?"
In all this confusion there is one thought in
common-why can't they let things alone?
This country didn't elect the Democratic
party or any Of these new medicine men and
radio spelers. 1t elected a proposition in 1882,
and Endorsed its changes in 1884. 1t elected
unity Why can't elected unity and its indorse-
ment have a chance till the due date? If it
fails, the country can change it. But until the
country does change it, let it stand The only
alternative is the present bedlam, and no patient
can recover under that.
