WAGES PAID BY
FARMERS ARE SCORED

BY Z. w. Clayton.
I never read truer pieces than
those r. j. B. and Mrs. E. E. R.
wrote about the farmers. The farm
ers want everything in the world
to make life easier and expect
somebody to do their work for as
little as so cents to 81 day and
from that to nothing but their
board. The farmer wants as big
a price for his products as he can
get, but he does not want to pay
a living wage for help.
The farmers come to town and
criticize the PWA workers. The
farmers talk about the PWA work
ers because they can't get them to
come out on the farm and work for
starvation wages. 1t is high time
minimum wage law was passed
for farm labor as well as industry
and other business. There are
farmers in Morgan County who are
not paying their labor any more
now than they did three years ago
when corn was selling for 10 cents
bushel and wheat for IS cents a
bushel. If corn would sell today
for 81 a bushel and wheat for So
bushel there are farmers who would
expect some one to do their work
for a starvation wage, such as 90
cents to 81 a day.
wish every farmer and farm
laborer could read this letter and
see how the farm laborers feel
about it. I say if the farmers don't
want to pay better wages than
so cents to 81 day they should
not put out more than the farmers
can take care of. We all know that
most farmers have signed the corn
and hog contract and the govern
ment gives them large checks for
doing nothing.
Who pays for all Of this? The
taxpayers. Here we are-10, OOO,OOO
idle men and 100000 acres, but
the farmers still think they should
have their work done for as little
as possible and sell their products
at a high price.

CHILD LABOR AMENDMENT
SHOULD BE EXPLAINED

BY Fairplay.
I read Dorothy Dunbar Bromley's
article in favor of the child labor
amendment and notice she says,
there is no word in the amend
ment which would give the right
to militarize our children or to die
tate what religious instructions they
shall or shall not have"
I should like to ask if there is any
word in this amendment which
would keep the government from
having that right and if so what it
says. Why not publish in the papers
the child labor amendment so peo-
pie will know what it really is or
stands for?
I do not believe in giving Con-
gress or the President the right to
control our children when the
President can not even control his
own.
I would like to hear the Rev.
Charles E. Coughlin's opinion on
the child labor amendment. We
need a few Father Coughlins at
Washington at this time.

WHY KAUFMAN MUST DIE
a srRrPrs-HOwARD NEWSPAPER

EOUR nail holes probably contributed as
4 much as anything else 20 the conviction
Of Bruno Richard Hauptmann.
DR.. Condor had sworn that it was to
Hauptmann that he paid the ransom money.
Evidence had been produced that the accused
had passed some OF the gold notes. This had
a bearing on an extortion accusation, but it
did not prove Hauptmann guilty OF the killing.
Col. Lndbergh had identified Hauptmanns
voice as that Of the man who cried to Jafsie.
"Hey Doctor" Records had been produced
showing that Hauptmann had quit his Job as
carpenter tvo days after the ransom money
was paid. and that he lived without work and
handled more than $4,000 in the next several
months. More circumstantial evidence Of ex-
torton bat still no murder evidence.
Witnesses had sworn that comparisons Of
various specimens Of handwriting showed con-
clusively that Hauptmann had written all Of
the demand notes. But opportunity remained
for defense attorneys to challenge this testi-
mouy; 10 argue that there was ground for
reasonable doubt" the chief refuge Of man
on trial.
All the circumstances CONSIDERED as a WnOle
might constitute strong evidence Of extortion,
bit it was not until testimony concerning the
nail holes was introduced that the state
rounded out its case.
A board had been sawed off the floor Of
the Hauptmann attic. one upright. or rail.
in a section Of the kidnap ladder was placed in
the space from which this board was taken.
The four nail holes in the upright from the
ladder fitted perfectly in the nail holes still
In the floor beams
A witness testified:
I've placed four cut nails in this rail and
placed it upon the beams. Those nails fitted
perfectly into the holes that were still IN the
beams. The nails we're on a slight angle, sort OF
toed in. We pushed them in with our fingers"
DR.. Condor might have been mistaken and
80 might Col Lindbergh and the handwriting
EXPERTS. but the nail holes were not mistaken
And that is what the jury believed, as evil
denced by its verdict.

BEAUTY

Beauty is always. 1t will never die.

Nor rain can wash away. nor storm,

Nor any damage mar its contour

LOAN, INSURANCE PLAN
is OUTLINED
By James NJ. Mudd.

By James NJ. Mudd.
While the government is loaning
money, why not loan to the unem-
ployed and those who are working
that they may buy a few necessities
of life, such as clothes and furli-
ture, etc. The loan could be a credit
card good on any store up to $500,
making the repayment installments
total so for the full amount. The
applicant would have to make APP
plication for an insurance policy for
the amount Of loan and interest.
The applicant getting a loan could
work two extra days a month to
make the monthly installments.
When they are employed in private
employment they could repay in
money. There are several ways this
plan could be worked. What is your
idea?

Miss Knowles Scores

Miss Knowles voice lived up to
the advanced press notices and a
little bit more. There is a depth
to her voice, a control, and free
dom from superficial effort, that
is delightful to hear. Her vocal in
strument has a resonance that
carries well.
When Gustav Strube conducted
his own. composition, Second
Movement, Sylvan Suite" depict
ing a love scene on an elfin land
scape, q beautiful orchestral pic
ture was conjured by his double
artistry as both composer and
condutor. His conducting was not
the least ornate but the ideas
seemed to flow out Of his every
movement with a successful inter
probation by the musicians of the
orchestra.
Young Richard Bales was quite
popular with the audience, as was
Antonio Brico earlier in the sea-
son. But whether the audiences
were animated in both cases by
the novelty or by the audacity re-
mains unknown. At least Mr..
Bales did not miss the count of
the music and give the signal for
a fortiSsimo entrance of the full
orchestra ahead of time.
In selecting the Eight Russian
Folk-SongS," <LiadoV), Mr., Bales
presented music that had novel
effects and hence attractive to
the audience. His conducting is
according to the rules although
somewhat jerky. He has every hair
Of his leonin head trained to fall
back into place following every
quick motion. While this may add
to the theatrical effect now, when
that head of hair is somewhat
thinned and years of intimate ex-
perience in music may cause the
music to well up from within, he
may become famous as a con-
ductor. We suggest he get a lot of
experience conducting some good
high school orchestra, until his art
mellowS with age.

ban directed the National SYM

rendition Of Tschaikowsky's Sym.
phony No. T." last night at the
Watergate concert.
There are always present in
symphony concert audiences a few
who have been told that it is
the proper thing to scott at the
brasses and that they are like
children, they should be seen
but not heard. This idea seems
to be the main excuse for in
flicting the Notwithstanding loud
speakers on the ears Of music
lovers.
Few people seem to realize that
the brasses may be played softly
and with a beautiful tone. Any
one listening to the third move
ment, the Scherzo, as 1t was
played last night, must admit
otherwise. While this symphony
furnishes ample opportunity for
the display Of the brass section,
the composer meant it to be so
and the reading given last night
would have certainly warmed the
heart Of the composer had he
heard it.
The theme Of the third move
ment, shown above, is introduced
by the strings playing pizzicato
in a brilliant and humorous mood.
This theme evolves into ingenious
uses of scales and becomes the
accompaniment for the short
march themes played by the
brasses. The march themes might
well be the music that toy soldiers
step to. The pizzicato section re-
turns and ends the movement in
q rush Of notes.
Mr.. Balaban gave a most care
full and sympathetic accompani-
ment to the vocal solos of Lillian
Knowles, contralto, who sang my

the ovation in response to her
singing that she repeated the lat
