THAT VOTING IN KENTUCKY

According to the Courier Journal, Chambers sig
nal victory 'was due primarily and chiefly to three
things:
"First-The desire of the people to repudiate the
Laffoon administration.
'Second-Their determination to free themselves
from the domination of the bipartisan ring which
so long has controlled state politics, and run the
state government
+ Standardization against the sales tax and de-
mand for it's repeal"
The Louisville paper further declares that if
there had been no other issue before the electorate
'that of the Laffoon administrations condemnation
would have elected Chandler
And so, according to the Democratic Courier
Journal, the New Deal was not the first second or
third issue in point of Importance and influence
although Chandler was known to be loyal Roose.

STIRRING THEM UP

If the rather inflammatory insistence of Mr.. Au-
brev Williams, director of the National Youth Adj
mnstraton, that the school teachers of the nation
must inform their pupils that the "cards are stacked
against them: that ''two per cent OF the people
own fifty per cent of the wealth. (Which IS not
true) and seventy per cent of the population live
in an indecent state (Which is not true either)-t
that was only Mr. Williams it would not be worth
noticing, excepting as bad stuff for government
official to be takng-particularly bad stuff to give
to children
The fact is, however, that Mr.. Williams IS only
one of group of government officials all of whom
sing in the same key. 1t was Mr.. Williams former
chief Mr. Hopkins, who some months back in
formed his staff of the FERA that ''this is fight
between those who have not and those who have
and we are with those who have not" There lsnS

stuff which every demagogue has used since unlVer-

Thus far it's only talk. But

LET US NOT BE FOOLED BY
CROCODILE TEARS l,' g.
(By BRUCE CATTON)

A
the crocodile with regular tear glands, s"
that when this rather terrifying reptlle
weeps he is generally supposed to be ger
ting ready to bite somebody; and 1t Is
worth remembering that the same rule Oh
ten applies in the big wide world OF human
affairs. off,.
lust at present a great many tears are
being shed by British statesmen about the
denIorable condition of the British fleet.
Since a big naval conference is due to De
held in a short time, there is a natural sus-
picion that these tears are of the crocodile
variety. Let's have look at things and
see.
The recent exchange of harsh looks be-
tween Mussolini and Stanley Baldwin IS
supposed to have revealed the pitiable
weakness of England's sea forces. We are
told that the British fleet is deficient IN
battleships, in cruisers, in submarines, IN
everything that makes an admiraPs life
worth living, and that the Mediterranean
show caused the entire empire as unit to
Quake in its shoes because of the fleets
weakness.
Now it happens that there ar etwo prom
inent Englishmen, amply Informed on ma
val matters, who don't agree with this dl-
agnosis. They are Lord Stabolgi, formerly
Ford Kenworthy, an eX-naval officer and
member of Parliament, and the Right Hon.
orable Albert V. Alexander, former First
lord of the Admiralty
= These men say bluntly that England
navy is still the strongest on earth. They
lOint out that England has the two most
modern battleships afloat in the Rodney
and Nelson; that her Hood is the mightieSt
yarShip in the world; that the British navy
is the only one which possesses battle cruis-
ers, having three of these craft; and that
when ships now under construction are fir
shed, Britain will have II more cruisers
than any other power on earth.
That is not picture of navy that is
rotting away in the midst of heavily armed
enemies. 1t is rather a picture of the
worlds greatest sea power taking care
that it remain the worlds greatest sea
power.
= In that case, why the crocodile tears?
Well, this naval conference is coming
and if the way can be paved properly
AMERICANS will pat the mother country
tenderly on the back and tell her for heav
ems sake to go build few warships be
fore her fleet falls apart on her. Then
when the dust settles, they will find tina
they have kindly negotiated their owl
navy into permanent inferiority.
Maybe it would be good policy fol
America to accept second place. That ism
the point. The point is that whatever the,
do should be done with open eyes. Being
fooled by crocodile tears can be costly.

Farmer Makes Home of
Tomb, Fears Only Rats

Back In 1880, Linus Smith designed
and built mausoleum near Medina,
Ohio, to hold the bodies Of his entire
family. But only the remains Of
Smiths father, mother and younger
brother ever were placed In this
tomb. Soon after the body OF the
younger Smith was placed In the
vault, the door at the entrance was
broken down and the body stolen.
An unsigned note offered return of
1t for 5000. A neighbor youth was
suspected. confessed the ghoulsh act
and returned the body. This occur
renee turned Linus Smith against
mausoleums and he transferred all
three bodies to cemetery. The
vault, empty for years, now is occu-
pied by Charles Ritter. bachelor

Coddling Sick Child
May Cramp Personality

The lasting scars of children's sick
ness are often not the earaches or the
poor eyesight that may have resulted
from an acute illness but the cramp-
ing of the chi1d's personality. An
unhealthy personality frequently rep
resents the cost Of coddling the con-
valescent, according to Katherine
Brownell Oettinger, who warns Of
such dangers In her article, How to
Spoil q Child" which appears In
Hygeia.
Illness Is the time for reaplng the
results of character traits already
sown. Then 1t is that the mother
who has resortcd to bribery or to
threat, who has failed to build up
confidence In her word, or who has
pampered her child into state of
utter dependence will realize the er-
ror of her ways. The old threat Of
calling the doctor or the nurse or
some other "bogeyman" iH order TO
frighten the child into obedience now
becomes a boomerang. Parents who
build up an attitude of friendllness
and confidence In the physician when
the child is we'll will find their bur-
dens lightened when the child Is Ill.
