REAL ENEMY WITHIN CAN BE
OURSELVES. ~, -
fRv BRUCE CATToN)

BY BRUCE. CAl 1O4NJ
There is a great deal of talk about the
enemies of democracy. 1t usually centerS
on the Communists, or the Fascists, or some
other sort of organized effort to set up new
forms of government. 80, -, ~..f. ga, ;,,,,.
But those are not the real enemies or de-
mocracy. They are not the real danger TO
the free form of government that we love.
%, The real danger is in ourselves, IN those
of US who profess to be devoted to demo
cratic and free government, and yet who who
won't bestir, ourselves to do anything about
it. No form of popular government can
succeed unless the average man will take
an active and conscious part in it; ,..,n 81
Put yourself under the microscope for a
minute. What have you done to make de-
mocracy work? Did you take any part in
the last primaries to see that decent can
didates were nominated? Did you talk to
Your neighbors and friends about the can
dfdates?
You needn't be professional political
worker to take an active, intelligent, and
important interest in these things.
Did you vote in the election? Did you
discuss the election with friends and neigh
bors, using your influence for the man you
believed best qualified?
Bid you take the trouble to look up the
record of your congressman? Aid did you
talk and work against him if it didn't suit
You; did you help him if it did? DE- you
follow the papers carefully and watch the
records of your local judges?
/. Are you the kind of person who likes tc
get parking tickets "fixed"? A small mat
ter, true. But people who demand this sort
of special privilege" should be the last to
complain of police corruption brought on
by the same sort of special privileges
sought on larger scale by people less
reputable than you know you are.
1.-THE next time we get discouraged with
the working of democracy, let's each ask
ourselves this question: What have T done,
this last year, to make it work better2

MR. GoRMAN's BILL

rbsre is probably little occasion for the cotton
.ov+;,o industry to become excited over the bill
,,hicb Francis j. German has introduced in con-
o,ess. using the name of Congressman Ellenbogen
of Pennsylvania.
The measure which is one for the SPECIFIC regu-
ation of the textile industry, is almost certainly
And aside from that, the unwis-
dom of any such legislative program would seem to
be at once apparent to the majority of the mem
beers of congress. An enforcement of these regula-
lions governing wages, working conditions and
other details of the cotton manufacturing business
would be attempted by the expedient of barring
the mails to manufacturers refusing to conform
It is quite in accordance with the german meth
DDS to make show of trying to get legislation Of
this character passed. For year or so he has
Mustered and beloved and the evident fact that
he has done the cotton mill workers far more harm
than good has steadily reduced his prestige and that

country. His grandstand play of general strike a
year ago did more than any other one thing to
discredit his leadership in the eyes of the mill peo

self in those circles by proposing drastic regula-
tory legislation which he doubtless realizes has
little chance of passage.
It may Just be, however, that the bill may be-

become dues paying members of the union, thus re-
plenishing the depleted treasury.-Greenville News

COWBOYS AND THEIR BALLADS

| Cowboys are, or at least were, he-nen of the
great outdoors. They rode roughly and shot accu-
rately.. They got drunk payday and sometimes
painted the town red They laid the foundation for
many fortunes among the literary gents.
Nevertheless and Notwithstanding the great
American. plains seem never to have produced a
baritone, much less basso. All cowboys seem to
have been nasal tenors.
Photograph records of cowboy songs since time
ininemorial exclusively of nasal tenors. All
vaudeville cowboys were nasal tenors. The radio
introduced no novelties in this fed-the singers of
cowboy ballads are still nasal tenors.
| Sometimes cowboy songs are gay and devilish,
most of the time, however they are terribly sad
and soggy. We gather from the cowboys songs

Sergeant Johnson, who served

about 10 years and also served
at the summer camp near here.
He died suddenly some time ago
and a memorial has already been

TWELVE GOOD MEN AND TRUE"

One of the main reasons why this country is
afflicted with human wolves like Dutch Shultz IS
seen in his acquttal by a New York jury on
charges of federal income tax violation.
He went free after the jury dehberated % and
half hours. The jurors also were free at that
time, but not before the presiding judge had spo-
ken words that will long haunt their consciences,
if they have any. Said Judge Frederick H.. Bryant,
his face white and voice trembling:
Gentlemen, a verdict such as you have just
rendered shakes the confidence of law-abiding peo-
pile You have reached verdict based not upon
the evidence, but on some other motives"
/ What this country needs is fewer jurors like
those and more judges like that.
We almost hear an old-fashioned "amen.7
from the great mass of people who vocally endorse
the sentiment of that noble judge
But are the great mass of people conscentiously
and actually in favor of fair and just punishment
Or to put it another way: Are the great major
ity of people willing to sit on the jury of public
opinion and by their words but more by their
deeds, see to it that proper punishment is melted
out to violators of the law?
We seriously doubt it. ....
These twelve men who tried Dutch Schultz were
accused by the judge of reaching verdict by
other than evidence bmitted"-Anderson Mail

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
THERE is NO SIGH ANIMAL.

People are missing the chance of a lifetime il
they do not take advantage of the free money that
Washington is offering.
The Observer does not say that State Director
George Coan of the Works Progress Administra-
ton says it. --- ..
Mr.. COan may sincerely believe it. The Observer
doesn'e
OF course, if Mr.. .Coan's premise were defens;-
bic, his deduction would hold water and all of US
would be found chirping our assent thereto.
But there is no such thing as free money
washington does not have it and never will, be-
cause money does not come out of the shop of an
achenlst nor the laboratory of scientific magcians.
Money is created by mans constructive toll in
combination with some service to the public -
And the only money that Washington ever gets
its hands on is money thus created and taken from
the creators of it through the hand of taxation.
These mountains of millions being spent for this,
that and the other must be replaced that is unless
iH is the intention of those in control to change our
monetary policies and by some system of initiation
bring about virtual reputation of the bonds be-
ing issued to provide money now being spent.
1t would be ungraeious to lay such a charge
against them, of course but there is nevertheless,
the, peril-always the peril while an unbalanced
budget prevails-of being forced into imitation even
against the win of those in political authority
M Coan may be merely unfortunate in his
pRrasing, but no poor selection of terrninology

PURE VACCINE
PRODUCED BY
PURDUE STAFF
ExtraneouS Matter Removed
in Method Perfected
After 5 Years.
By Times Special

BY Times Special
LAFAYETTE, Ind, July 26.-
After five years of exhaustive re-
search, a method of extracting ex-
traneous matter from ordinary
smallpox vaccine that will produce
a purified smallpox virus has been
developed at Purdue University by
DR.. c. A. Behrens and F. A. Mel
son, it was announced here today.
The Purdue scientists have also
disclosed that the addition of one
tenth of / per cent of gelatin to
the purified smallpox vaccines will
maintain the ability of the vac
cine to protect against smallpox
for period of nearly three years.
The new publication method,
which separates the smallpox virus
from the foreign matter contained
in ordinary smallpox vaccine, con-
sists simply of bringing the for
eign tissue in the vaccine to the
point where it loses it's electric
charge, known as the iso-electric
point, and precipitateS. The puri-
fed vaccine obtained by the pre-
cipitation method is water clear in
nature, has as much as IS per cent
of the foreign protein removed and
appears to possess an immunizing
power equal to that of the vaccine
in common use.
According to DR.. Behrens, discov-
cries made in purifying the virus
may lead to the discovery of the
nature of the agent causing va
rious virus diseases and pave the
way for a new line of research in
the virus field.
