Farley Found the AnSuer

THIS is scheme for which acknowledgement
u should be made to Jim Farley, the Postmaster
General although he has never advocated lottery
or number game and may be dead against it, How
ever, he did invent the scheme when he chair
man of the New York Prize Fight Commission as a
means of putting end to the fouls which were
causing so much unrest among the customers
Mr.. Farley tried various ways of furnishing pu-
giliStS who ouled out. but without success. So as
last resort he ruled that after certain date the foul
would be considered fair. If one fighter fouled
he was supposed to foul right back and for a fact,
the scheme worked beautifully.
If the gambling evil is made a profitable virtue
perhaps other evil could be unevilized by of
gress and the citizens induced to pay still to-
ward their own relief while acceerating their own
destruction under government auspices. Govern
nlent brothelS suggest possibility.
But the government lottery will do for a start.
Given the lottery, the citizens would draw relief
money to spend for lottery tickets to raise money
for more relief to buy more tickets.

l. Roosevelt has been a little
more skillful in doing what every
other President has striven to do
win the favor of the White House
correspondents.
2. The New Deal has hired an
unusual number of newspaper men,
but for the most part, they have
been efficient, faithful government
servants, serving as fact-fnders
rather than propaganda distribu-
tors.
PROFESSIONALLY, the early
~ days of the New Deal were
marked by a honeymoon between
press and President. To certain
extent this is true of every new
Administration. 1t was partic-
ularly true Of Roosevelt because
news was breaking faster than at
any other time since the World
War.
A deluge Of news is the best way
to keep the press happy. 1t is
also the best way to prevent scam
dals from being unearthed. When
reporters are rushed to death with
such momentous events as the
United States going off the gold
standard, they do not have time to
ferret out anything else. And
their managing editors would not
have the space to use it even if
they did
That was why the CCC kit-bag
story slipped by with very meager
repercussions. Too much else was
happening in the spring of 1888.
However, those honeymoon days
are now over.
Between Roosevelt and the press
as whole there is new at
mosphere. Press conferences are
no longer the love-feastS they once
were. Barbed questions are shot
at the President-usually skillfully
parted. Background information
no longer is given so freely.
Some reporters, tired Of the
good-natured persiflage which is
the chief material eXuded from the
conferences, no longer attend
There was time when they could
not afford to be absent.
THIS attitude, 1t should be
en- cd, is that Of the
press 1ole. 1t is not true
of til Y group of reporters
closest le White House.
This 9 Jup has become almost
a part of the Presidents entour-
age. It's motto is The President
Can Do No Wrong"
Naturally this is a great boon
to any President. The reporters
who cover the White House write
for several million people. where
as the average newspaper man
writes for thousands. They are
the machine gunners Of Journal
ism-and Roosevelt knows this.
He also knows their first names,
invites them 10 dinner frequently,
gives them entree to the White
House at any and all times. Mrs.
Roosevelt visits them when they
are sick. Sometimes she drops in
casually to see their children.

Culver.
Admiral Hugh ROdman, one OF
the Nays most noted officers, is
beloved by all cadets under his

The Black Horse Troop, famed
escort of Presidents, diplomats and
generals, is the cavalry school.
The prancing black horses are
especially chosen. Almost every
day can see ambitious cavalrymen
competing for honors in the rid
ing academy.
Spectacular equestrian stunts
are a matter of routine to the
able Culver Black Horse Troop
cadets. Every summer the troop
performs to an amazed audience
of midshipmen, woodcrafters and
guests.
Long hikes prove the merit OF
the cadets, riding for hours in the
saddle through difficult trails and
streams and then diSmounting to
pitch camp. First of all the cadets
must take care of their horses,
feed them and curry them. The

Then the horses proudly wheel

On other days the troop swims
its mounts into the shallow waters
at the edge of the lake and gives
the horses a good scrubbing. The
midshipmen sailing by in their

cavalrymen, "Oh you horse flies!"
The cavalrymen wave good
