RILEY'S BIRTHDAY

TT is singularly fitting that today anniversary of
James Whitcornb Riley's birth, should be chosen
for the dedication of the new therapeutic pool for
crippled children at the hospital which bears his
name.
The prattle of childish voices and the patter of
little feet were music to Jim Riley. His poems are
deathless tributes to his love Of children
HIS love OF children was intensifcation of his
love for all humanity. His affection for his fellows
was all-embracing 1t shone through his poems like
the benefcent rays Of an altar fire.
Perhaps the most appealing character of Rieys
poems was their homey quality They struck re-
sponsive chords in the breast of every Hoosier be-
cause their humor part of Indianas daily life.
His was kindly hunor for the most part but Riley
hated stuffed shirt and was ever ready to debate
an overwhelming ego with barbed witticism.
Although he occasionally made fun of others, he
didn't hesitate to make himself the butt of his own
humor In letters to friends, he made Joke of the
yirtuosity which might have made him eouallv IA
nous as an actor musician
His intirnates remember Jim Riley for the gauin-
like streak in his makeup Perhaps an incident that
happened long after his death is illustrative of this
side Of Riley.
There is a statue at Greenfield, Riley's home,
built with the penny offerings of children Each
year, that statue is garlanded with flowers strewn
over it by childish hands.
On one occasion child after child deposited an
offering until finally dirty little urchin approached
the statue. Cutched in his hand were two straggly
blossoms SO wadded together that they looked like
a SNOWFALL
Instead of laying it reverently on the statue some
impulse led him to let fly with with it and score
direct hit on the craven Riley countenance
One of the poets old friends standing by observed
softly:
That's the one of the whole lot that Jim would
have liked best Of all"

THE ARMS EMBARGO
6 sCRIPPs-HowARD NEwsPAPER)

THE President is to be commended for promptly
invoking the neutrality law and embargoing
munitions to Italy and Ethiopia
Without waiting for either belligerent to declare
war or the League Of Nations to decide whether an
aggression had been committed, he saney declared
that "a state Of war prevails between the two coun
tries and acted accordingly
more timid chief executive might have held up
the ban on arms indefinitely until the United States
had been formally and officially notified that war
was on.
His future course however, may not be SO easy.
The present embargo was mandatory upon the out
break during the progress Of war between two or
more foreign states But should other nations enter
the fray later according to the language of the act
he may" do the same to them. 1t does not say he
must"
Should the League use force to stop Italy, it
would of course, be war. Accordingly, it would be
up to the President to decide whether arms could be
shipped to Britain and such other powers as might
become the Leagues instrument. The President has
already indicated this country would not hamper
the Leagues efforts to halt an aggressive war-pro-
yded America agrees WHO the aggressor is.
Yet should League war" develop out of the
present conflict, the preponderant sentiment of
Congress and the American people doubtless will be
for the strictest neutrality - hands off both Sides
neither hampering helping either

THE HOOVER ATTACK

ITO Herbert Hoover goes credit for the best polit-
4 ical attack on the Roosevelt Administration yet
made by Republican spokesman.
Although still in the uninspiring role of political
jeremiah looking for grass in the Streets the former
President voiced challenging truths in that part
OF his Saturday night speech which dealt with the
inherent menace of expanding bureaucracy and the
inevitable consequences of continuing national
deficits.
Democratic incumbents can not dismiss with
shrug his statement that the so-called lower and
middle classes, carrying most of the burden of
the government through invisible taxation will
shoulder heavier burdens when payday for
the New Deals expenditures arrives, whether the
reckoning be in taxation, or Reputation or infla-
ton" And the tax-the-rich law enacted by the
last Congress makes that no less inevitable.
Yet it would have been better speech had some
one else made it.
Mr.. Hoovers record in regard to bureaucracy and
deficits is not spotless. In at least two respects
President Roosevelt's is much brighter.
The bureaucracy under Mr.. Hoover was sluggish
thing which fumbled futiley with the depression
In contrast, the Roosevelt Administration has been
one of enough vigor and direction to rekindle the
peoples faith in the strength and purpose of their
national government.
Deficits under Mr. Hoover sWeed yearly. When
he left the White House. tax receipts and commerce
were shrinking so fast that it seemed neither the
government nor millions of Americans victimzed
by the depression would again know balanced
budgets Today, with the business outlook better
than at any time since the 1929 cyclone hit with
economic lift that has enabled millions of Americans
to balance their personal budgets the governments
revenues are mounting because people have
something with which to pay taxes and balance in
the nations fiscal books will soon be possible.
For these hopeful circumstances it would seem,
credit should go not to the policies of Mr.. Hoover.
but to those of his successor

THEY PULLED A KNIFE

TEXT the statesmen will invent cheap lies, put
" the blame upon the nation that is attacked"
And so we arrive at another phase.
Remember the White Papers and the Red Papers
and the various other colored documents that bios
somed forth Immediately after Armageddon broke in
1914? Each nation diligently declaring that another
had started it?
And now we have what was to be expected. Poor
little Italy was picked on.
THE bellicose and aggressive spirit developed in
Abyssinia among the cheftains and soldiers vino
have been demanding action for a long time consti-
tutes an immediate and direct to the Italian
troops" says Nussolini secretary This aggression
has taken on a volume of Importance which mani
festly involved more serious immediate danger. In
the presence of this situation the Italian government
has found itself compelled to authorize the supreme
command in Eritrea to take necessary steps in de-
Tense"
And in Geneva the Italian delegate, Baron AloiSi,
rises to declare solenly to the League Council that
Ethiopia had been "a constant and progressive men
to which Italy obliged to answer by appro-
pirate measures of defense"
Did ItalyS defense consist in repelng an inva-
sion No. But in blazing away at everything in sight
at Aduwa-many miles beyond the border-prelimi-
naries to the defense having been the shipping for
and munitions and then waiting for the rain to stop
in order that the defense" might begin.
It's the same old plea that shows up after every
murder.
Ever hear the story Of the two medical students
who were inclined to rather rough practical joking?
They dressed up corpse that had been obtained
for laboratory purposes and one student supporting
the dead man on either side succeeded in reaching
a saloon Leaning the corpse against the bar in
way that indicated obvious case of extreme drunk
enness one student ordered three drinks After the
two had consumed theirs they pointed at their friend
to indicate that he would pay, and retired.
The bartender waited few minutes and seeing
no signs of cash forthcoming, reached over and
touched the customer on the shoulder This was
repeated two three times and brought no results
Whereupon the bartender picked up a bung starter
and tapped the visitor the head so hard that he
fell to the floor.
Whereupon the two companions dashed in leaned
over and cried, You've killed him!"
Well" answered the bartender "the

TINIELY-BUT WILL 1T TAKE?

w HEAT VIII win the WARP. Remember that?
There is plenty of timeliness in Secretary
Wallaces warning not to let what's happening over
in Africa run us into another such farm land specu
lation as that which followed what was started in
1914
Timely, yes. But we doubt whether the warning
will be observed if the price of wheat which is all
ready rising keeps on going up, and other farm
prices follow. For it is human nature to speculate
when boom is on, whether the boom be in Florida
lots or Goldman Sachs or Iowa SOIL
But it may be of some value in cautionary
sense to the extent OF restraining speculative i'm
petuosy and at least delaying the evil day, TO recall
now that the recent mortgage riots in the farm belt
stem right back TO the World War;
Wheat went above two dollars, cotton around 90
cents, and other prices more or less in ratio The
best farm land got to selling as high as $500 an acre
III, for example Wallace's home state Some so
million acres hitherto uncultivated and once locked
to mother earth with hoops of grass, was plowed up
and put to use, much Of which we have wiped ont
OF our eyes during those dust storms in the last few
years.
Finally came the sudden end OF the BIG bulge
Peace was restored BattIefelds went back into
agriculture. Millions who had been fighting returned
to work. And We don't have to look any farther TO
find the birthplace Of the farm problem which
plagued Harding Coolidge Hoover and Roosevelt.

DEFINING A LIBERAL

r ABELS always Inadequate slogans fail to
- satisfy, and catch phrases never tell the whole
story. Yet we live on labels.
One person calls himself liberal. Another,
conservative. Another reactonary Still another
a radical And usually the fellow who doesn't agree
with you goes into the particular category you de-
spise the most. "Irreverence" as Mark Twain said
lis disrespect for the other mans God"
We have seen some, pridng themselves on their
conservatism who under the skin were downright
Bolshevik, and we have seen others who proudly
wore the liberal label turn out in pinch to be the
most hidebound of bigots.
So when we can, it is we'll to elaborate label
into definition and we think the President did
pretty we'll when he gave this as his conception of
a liberal:
The faith of a liberal" he said, sis profound
belief not only in the capacities of individual men
and women, but in the effectiveness of people help
ing one another"
Wed be interested in seeing any definition that
seems better.

couldn't think what it was about the show that had
been so different. Then it struck me. What friend
of mine so eoquently called "lallygagging had been
entirely missing.
Whether this presages a new trend III pictures
would be a wild guess but the innovation is well
come good many patrons are in the mood for
change. The inevitable clinch and kiss at the end
OF every show are just little too inevitable.
1t is also interesting to speculate upon what this
deetion may do to the life and habits of the younger
generation. Perhaps both youngsters and adults
would be more chary with their public displays of
affection if the moving picture stars set the fashion
Perhaps neckng would become the private enter
prise it used to be- Perhaps spotlight kissing would
even be considered little vulgar in the best circles
And hope you're not going to accuse me of old
fogysm for these remarks Kisses are grand things
in their place But the exercise of some dscrmina-
ton as to time place and duration is now III order
kissing has steadily lost caste since it has been

SHIRLEY TEMPLE LOVE"

Moving picture press agentry

taste. But an all-time low seems to
have been set with the propagation
in Hollywood of a story I have just
read in The Times to the effect that
Shirley Temple is having a love af-
fair with 10-year-old boy.
Some one put over a picture of
these two children, with a caption
stating that they are principals in
HollyWoods latest romance"
Shirley, we are assured, "fell
hard for the curly hair and dark
eyes of the lad.
Nothing more disgusting than this
has ever come out of Hollywood. We
expect bad taste in the press
agentry of the adult stars. After
all, they are presumably old and in
telligent enough to stand it.
But that any one, even in Holly
wood, should be so abysmally crude
and stupid as to think that an obvi-
ously faxed tale about a romance"
between two 10-year- odds would
either please the general public or
