HATE, HUMOR, AND 1886

FEW days ago We asked the question whether
1896 will campaign of reason, or just plain
hate. We believe the answer will depend largely on
whether the stress Of the times has been so great
as to cause America to lose her of hunor that
trait which Rudyard Kipling once said most
conspicuous national characteristic.
Hate and humor don't mix. And evidences at the
moment point to humorless start.
For example, that declaration from Clinton L.
Bardo president of the National Association of
Manufactmers-"In Industry, much against it's WILL
has been forced in sheer f-defenSe to enter the
political arena" Implying that up to now, indus
try has held colby aloof from all things Washington
If ones mood is possessed to the slightest capac-
ity for seeing the funny side of things, that is
tainly to laugh. For we can not help recalling that
it was none other than the National Association Of
Manufacturers itself which steered into being those
two prize political documents, the Fordney -McCum-
Der and Hawley- Smoot tariff acts.
Nor we forget that it Mr. Bardo himself
who back in 1888 did such yeoman service against a
government loan to prospective competitor of the
New York Shipbuding Co. of which he was then the
head. prospectus of the proposed competitive
yard had been filed with the RFC and speedily
reached the attention of Mr.. Bardo. That brought
action. Without repeating all of the somewhat in
VClVed detail OF the story which is told in full in the
records of the Senate Munitions Committee let it
be said that the proposed sllipyard never built
1t is impossible to scan the tale the record tells with
out sensing that no high board fence of will has to
be scaled in order for industry to land in the arena
Of politics.
And when we view the Washington scene and
sight the industrial pressure groups that grace the
nations capital with their presence it is indeed a
commentary on the too-serious turn the campaign
is already takinghe bankers the brokers' the util-
tiles, the United States Chamber of Commerce. the
American Newspaper Publishers Association, the
Grange the American Farm Bureau Federation, not
the American Legion the Veterans of Foreign Wars
and the Methodist Board of Temperance Prohibi-
ton and Public Morals, each knowing exactly what
it wants and "industriously" trying to get it.
Remember Jimmy Gerard's $50 men who rule
America, that list published back in the days when
times were still fairly lush and the superman could
still hold up his head? The list that included insult
but left out the President of the United States?
Well, we think that though time has consider
ably furnished the list itself, one remark made by
the author still stands the of truth They (the
list, said Mr.. Gerard ARE too busy to hold polit-
ical office but they determine who shall"
There isn't any particular moral to this piece
except to express the hope that the American people
don't go through the campaign of 1896 with a
cracked lip

DETECTIVE QUINNETTE

4 MOTHER officer has met death at the hands OF
n criminals Detective Sergeant Quinnette of the
indianapolis police force is the latest victim To
call him hero, a sacrifice to the public welfare,
is to give small comfort to his widow. The city
should give her all the consolation it can-but then
what?
1t is evident that we are in the midst of another
defiant crime epidemic One OF the largest gangs
of automobile theft suspects to be arrested cap
tured this weeke The ramifcations of that case
may be many.
State and city police and county authorities
seem to be doing good job.
What more be done?
First, bend every effort, share every cooperative
movement with the Federal government and other
states for scientific and efficient law enforce
ment. Next, relieve social and economic conditions
which produce criminals.

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
By Mrs. Walter Ferguson

ECONOMY as 1t is extolled by the average hus-
~ band is thing; it is quite another as prac-
ticed by him.
Inc other day couple of them were holding forth
about general domestic extravaganza, while their
WlVeS-I was one of thenl-sat with heads meeklv
bowed beneath the halfserious half ocular TRADE
Feminine trends in spending were soundly lam
basted. We waste too much on Clothes it seems
Isn't it obviously ridiculous to spend so or 25 or
even Is dollars, on dress when you are always
wanting new one the day after tomorrow? Then
we clutter up our houses with all sorts of costly
gimcracks; end tables footstools and whatnots We
know absolutely nothing about the value of money
and the Lord only knows what would become of us
if the men weren't around to put down the heavy
hand occasionally and save us from our folly.

Before their departure they had come home with
the most outlandish lot of truck you Fish
ing rods that cost unbelievable sum; new
tangled flies special food for the hunting dogs From
the looks of their luggage they had bought out the
sporting goods department and certainly budgeting

Husbands are like that, and wives, too For ex-
travagance and economy, to most of exactly
this: Whatever I want is sensible; whatever you
want is foolish.
Most men, I've noticed, no matter how cautious
they are about giving up their money, have what
they like within the limits of their incomes A
of Scotch for instance, doesn't strike the fellow
who likes hghban as extravagant, although it
may seem sheer wastefulness to his nondrinking

tutionaty Of the law. It's suit to compel COM
pliance on the part of the Electric Bond and Share
Corp, far-aung holding company with many SUBJ
sidiaries, should that purpose adequately and
expeditiousy. Pending court determination, the
government has given every assurance that It will
refrain from actions against the utility interests
1t has been the history Of utilities that they have
had the upper hand over the regulatory bodies be-
cause for one reason, they have spared no expense
in hiring the best legal talent that money could
buy, and taken advantage of every conceivable tech
nicality
But apparently the utilities are still up to their
old tricks AS much is charged by Roger W. Bah
son, not New Dealer nor Crusader, but an econo-
mist, business man, large stakeholder and director
in the utility industry. IN an open letter to Presi-
dent Roosevelt Mr.. Babson expresses the opinion
that in refusing to register with the SEC, as the
holding company law provides the utilities were
employing tactics more worthy of gangsters"
Monopoles rest on the patience of the people,
Some day the people may decide that all attempts
to regulate privately owned monopolies are futile
and too expensive.

LONG DISTANCE

present reduced night tolls effective for all day
Sunday
The situation with regard to general telephone
service differs in the various states but this conces
sion to public convenience and service is to be made
effective throughout the country. In Indiana it
awaits the consent of the Public Service Commits
sion.
Recently telegraph companies put on the market
a series of form kilograms any of which could be
sent to any part of the United States for Is cents.
Here was recognition of the need for more considera-

The list of changes in the rate structure for tele-
phone service in Indiana, placed before the COM
mission suggest that utilities conscious of the
pressure of public opinion and are anxious to do
something to reduce that pressure

PRESIDENT BENES

II EUROPE and the world will applaud the eleva-
II ton of Foreign Minister Edouard Benes to the
presidency of Czechoslovakia.
Now that countrys grand old man, the retiring
85-year-old President Thomas G. Masaryk can with
draw to private life with the knowledge that the
plans of few mortas have worked out so we'll as his
Founder of the republic and its president for II
years Masaryk has lived to hear it spoken OF as
"the biggest little country in Europe Its influence
is out of all proportion to its size. Naturally he does
not wish to see this prestige diminished after his
death by political scramble for his mantle. Ac-
cor6ingly he purposely resigned that in effect he
might help name his successor
His choice was Or. Benes, his right-hand man
throughout his entire term in office Nor was this
choice merely personal On the contrary had he put
1t to a vote of all outside Europe, the brainy little
foreign minister would have won, hands down.
Czechosovakia is to be congratulated.

SPEAKING OF EXPENSE

MANY business spend great deal of their
A'A time complaining about the expense of govern
ment, especially the Federal government under the
New Deal
Yet the principal law officer of the Federal gov
eminent, Attorney General Cummings, has to go
into court and argue against an attempt of one
group of business operators to force the government
to spend unnecessarily whole lot of tax money
which government officials do not want to spend
Utility interests have filed so separate suits chal-
longing the constitutionaity of the holding company
law-fled them the Attorney General said, in a way
calculated to "haraSS and overwhem" the Justice
Department, which has more than enough TO do
handling other litigation respecting other laws
1t is, of course, impossible for the government
to defend every one of these cases, without slight
ing other important work and hiring more lawyers
Likewise these multiple suits are an unnecessary
burden on the courts themselves whose dockets are
already oyercrowded The government properly asks
that those superduous proceedings be halted

The state has been outstanding in trying to en-

In retaining destitute hill country folk from their
pathetic cabins in the southern part of the state,

POLITICS? IT'S POT CALLING
KETTLE BLACK

BY H. S. Bonsib
The Republican party built a
toboggan slide for the depression,
and the Democrats finished it.
The Republicans put in wet men
to enforce dry law, and the
Democrats went them one better by
putting in a 100 per cent wet Presi-
dent to finish up the wet business.
He is continuing what the wet Re-
publican party started.
Under the Republican administra-
ton thousands of banks closed, and
the Democrats helped finish the
job.
The Republicans started under
Hoover's Federal Farm Board the
policy of restricting crop produc-
ton, sponsored by the Republican
Secretaries of Agriculture Jardine
and Hyde, and wasn't it warmly in
dorsed in the 1892 Republican plat
form?
What about the Republicans
blaming the Democrats for the
drought condition? Suppose the G.
o. P. had been in power, what then?
Have the two OLD parties a real
issue? 1t is mostly the kettle calling
the pot black-both old parties got
us in the hole-let's quit jumping
from the frying pan into the fire
and vice versa.

By James Brown
I read the forceful editorial, Road
to War, which appeared in The
Times. Dec. II. I agree with the
writer in his opinion that American
citizens in Ethiopia should have
come home last July.
1t seems strange to me that T.
A. Lambie and other American mis-
sionarieS did not return when the
United States State Department
asked them to.
Now that bombs have bee n
dropped on the American hospital
there, this same man and his fol-
lowers send a protest to us "Ameri-
cans at home" saying that they
hope this act will open our eyes,
What stupid message! Our
eyes should have been opened dur
ing the last great war. Our minds
should wander back to Flanders
fields. Our ears should catch the
echo of shrieking shells, of bursting
bombs, of clashing bayonet and
sword. Our spirits should go troop
ing through damp, insecure trenches
stepped with hell itself, should see
our boys, clean, eager, unafraid,
and inspired by the thought that

they were saving their country, as
they waded knee-deep in mud and
blood. We should hear their cries
as they fell under sniper's bullets
or their lives we're snuffed out by
deadly gases.
War. War. War. There are
American citizens who ignorantly
believe that another one would
even up the score but I shall
fight it forever. Why should we
wreck the dreams of youth by send
ing them into a seething cauldron
of destruction? Are we responsible
for everything that happens? My
answer is sincerely and positively
no. And shall our own citizens
in Ethiopia be the petty Pandoras
to open the box of foreign affairs
and let escape the very Lucifer
that breeds war? Is there no ira
dition of spirituality that will kindle
deeper understanding and bring tC
higher light the principle of Peace
on earth, goodwill to men?
Dear friends, war must not come
to Gods own country. We that
cherish our flag as we should will
not go insane and desire that which
will mar friendship, beauty, arts
and the glory of a loving Father
We must not allow the stupid in
situations of those who are itching
for war to upset our happy dreams
The effect of the last war has
not worn off entirely. Let us not
forget the misery and despair ii
brought. Let us fight this devilish
monster of greed, hate, and selfish
ness that breeds deepest sorrow
There are thousands who are blind
crippled, and otherwise impaired
because of war.
This nation of ours is too strained
and insecure to permit any more
childish puppet shows. In the past
we have been pitiful puppets in the
hands of war lords and self-intereSt-
ed rulers. Now that we can salute
Old Glory in peace and solitude OF
spirit, some one in Ethiopia, who
disobeyed his government, is asking
us to be the crazy cats-paw and pull
him out of the fire, to get our own
paw severely scared.

been made to swallow this medicine
with the promise that it was the
cure I needed to make me we'll, the
little pellet that my employees need
ed to make them satisfied and
happy and the dose that would
make my business secure.
Give us back the confidence in
ourselves to run our own business
and take care of our own invest
ment which the NRA took from us.
Give us the respect of the men we
employ, that the unions have taken
from us. Let the working people
know that the American business
man is not a slave driving, brow
beating King Midas, but a very
necessary cog in the wheel of in
dustry and business of the United
States.
