The men blame unemployment for their seizure

plants.
The first company figures on the size Of the boot

Institute say 1900 men are mining 10000 900 tons

In addition, company figures show 5000 men

others working in bootleg preparation plants making

These men and their families represent SUBJ

OK days week they burrow in their dangerous

MR.. HOOVER FORGOT

MIR. HOOVERS speech to the Ohio Society in
1'A New York deserves attention Less for what
Mr.. Hoover said than for what he forgot
Among his stark and rugged truths was the
statement that there are nests of constitutional ter
mites at work" He forgot the scofTlaws who null-
fled the noble experiment during his Administration.
He assailed the New Deals planned scarcity"
He forgot that his Administration was the first to
urge cotton farmers to pillow under every third or
fourth row. that his farm board tried to make crops
scarce by buying up farm SURPRISES that his Hawey
Smoo tariff raised the banners of planned scarcity
high prices and monopoly every factory of the
land
He said that if the New Deals monetary policies
had worked they would have raised living costs Al
per cent. He forgot that while during his Admins
tration living costs fell almost 25 per cent, the pro-
portion of the population with the wherewithal to
meet living costs declined even rapidly.
He complained that dollar devaluaton made it
Al per cent easier for foreign debtors to pay their
war debts. He forgot that our staying on gold in
his Administration while our chief debtor, England,
went off gold made it Al per cent harder for us to
collect Also he forgot that he instituted the one
year moratorium on all inter governmental debts
lie rdiculed the New Deals many new bureaus
and agencies of political bureaucracy" He for
got that his Administration broke all records for
appointing commissions.
He said that the government must earn before it
spends money. He forgot that his Administration
piled up a net deficit of about five billions, while
expanding hardly anything for direct relief. That at
the beginning of the depression he made the Treas
urys deficit greater by persuang Congress to reduce
income taxes.
He said the people are cropping for security from
economic storms and from individual poverty" He
forgot the bank failures the collapse of security
prices, the condition of the poor of farmside and
city in his Administration.
He said that people not invest $500 today with
full confidence as to what it will be worth in their
old age He forgot that when he left office very few
people had 500 to invest.
He indicted RECKLESS adventure in government"
He forgot that almost all important legislation in the
first part of the New Deal was supported by ma
iorty of the Republicans in Congress.
Mr.. Hoover insisted that recovery had come in
spite of the policies of the Administration. He for
got that in the campaigns of 1924 and 1928 he ex-
planned that business prosperity impossible unless
government policies were sound.
In short the eX-President contended that the
patient lately at deaths door, recovering nicely,
thank you but that the operation was unsuccessful

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

A MOTHERS head is always at war with her
heart. The conflict begins over the cradle
where her first baby lies. She knows-for have
not the doctors and nurses emphasized the fact?-
that the infant must be reared according to strict
schedule, and that babies the uatouchables of
our time. Sleeping, eating and growing are the
order Of their days.
Therefore, because she wants hers to have the
best possible start in life, the modern mother
restraints her yearning to fondle and kiss it.
Through the years. the battle continues, until
it's no wonder so many women are in state Of
nervous prostration most of the time Maternal
love is to be lectured into any pattern of
formity. And SO such love continually prompts to
indulge our children. while common sense and
the professors warn against it.
If they are given too much latitude We are
accused Of running their character and when we
turn definitely to the right, bringing down upon
them the heavy hand of discipline, there are al
ways plenty OF people to say we are tyrants who
are retarding their development.
Even when they are grown and gone a mothers
conflict over her family does not end, but often
RACES with force than before The rules about
how to conduct ourselves toward our mature and
married children are even numerous nowadays
than the formulas for bringing up infants. Should
you De weak enough to give them too much financial
assistance. you destroying their initiative yet
If you refuse to help them you short-sighted
individual with no real concern for their welfare
Perhaps we hear too much these days from the
childlesS on the subject of childen. And the
childless, however learned. are wholly ignorant Of
a mothers emotional reactions. One Bible verse
best describes them. The spirit is willing but the
flesh is weak"

WISDOM ABOUT HOUSING

Drank WATSON, national executive secretary of
Better Homes in America evidently is man
of sense. Speaking to the Seventh District Fed
Grafton of Clubs, he alluded to the emotional fac
tor in home-buying which led many Indiana fami-
lies few years ago to undertake the purchase of
better homes than they could afford.
Credit for home-buying between 1920 and 1929
was astonishing, viewed today. Building and loan
associations were doing a banking business. They
were accepting commercial deposits. Business houses
with some thousands idle for a short period could
deposit them with building and loan associations
and get per cent.
Mortgages were SO easy that it was possible to
borrow rs per cent of the price of house. Men
were making money and they wished to house their
families handsomely. There was no dearth of
debtors for the credit extended with a lavish
hand.
When the crash came and banks, trust companies
and building and loan associations began to close in
many families lost homes which they never should
have bought in the first place. The houses were too
big, too expensive What Mr. Watson says is that in
the new home-buying and BODYBUILDING era
which everybody hopes is opening, families should
buy according to their means They should be con-
tent with what their income indicates.
Mr. Watson is the director of the experimental
housing project at Purdue University. When he ad-
vocateS the house to suit the customer he is utter
ing wise words

TINE new United States Canadian reciprocity
treaty is a start toward undoing the CONNER
cial damage wrought by cur Smoot -Hawley tariff
law of 1880 and the rctalatory Canadian levieS
We should like to give it higher praise. But the
provisions of the treaty do not warrant. We should
like also to join with President Roosevelt in his
optimistic hope that the new treaty will more than
double our trade with Canada, and thereby restore
it to its 1929 level.
But by and large our concessions to Canada do
s not amount to anything more than wiping out the
Smoot- Hawley rates on list of selected items and
restoring the Fordney -McCumber rates which were
in effect from 1922 to 1890. And While granting
reduced rates with one hand we have with the other
imposed quotas in respect to many itemS-quotas
which roughly limit Canadian imports to their cur
rent volume.
How then short of a revival in general business
conditions in the two countries to above the 1929
level can we expect our purchases from Canada to
return to what they were in that year? And if we
don't purchase much from Canada how will
Canadians get the American dollars they will need
to buy 1929 volume of American goods? Even
then our purchases from Canada were only about
half the value of Canada's purchases from us.
Yet, under the political circumstances which pre-
vail, both the Canadian and the United States nego-
tiators doubtless have made all the concessions prac-
ticable. Perhaps more than it politically wise
to make. Politics aside, believe the best treaty
would have been one that went the limit in re-
moving barriers that obStruct free commerce be-
tween the two countries.
But tariffs and politics not be considered sep
arately For tariffs create special interests and spe-
cal interests manufacture politics Even the slight
concessions that have been made will bring abuse
down upon the heads of the two governments

of the engine or wagon or in the

All of this is just a side light to
the controversy involved.
The point I wish to develop is the
evident fact that we who call our
selves civilized can not be truste d
in designating when one should die
or should not die. A Hitler would
welcome mercy killing" as an ex-
cuse to eXterminate a thistle in his

We civilized people, although
stepped in much religion and hear
ing many eXhortations in Christ S
name and glory be to the Lord, are
yet too barbarian in our attitudes
to indulge in mercy killings. Any
civilization which neglects the child
in his rags and malnutrition and
gives more Importance to the con-
tentedness Of the mule in his old
age, is incapable of passing judge
ment upon things needing compass
siQnate action.
Until we have becorne thoroughly
humanistic and until we have &C
quired the faculty of casting aside
selfish design, we must accept the
terrible pains of an illogical living
If we were men like gods (and that
is possible if we remove the GOO

OTHER OPINION

When Gods gift to Indiana made
a speech in Georgia, laying respon-
sibility for the whole Dillinger cpl
sode at the feet of a Circuit Court
judge in Indiana it may have made
a hit in Georgia, but it doesn't get
over so we'll in Indiana.
Everybody in Indiana knows that
the Dillinger mess never would have
happened had it not been for gross
ineflciency brought about by ap-
pointing political henchmen in the
state prison, which resulted in ten
Dillinger gangsters walking out of
the prison unmolested, and a rotten
political mess which resulted in re-
turning Dillinger to the Crown
Point jail instead of the state
prison.
1t may sound good to a Georgia
audience for Indiana's Governor to
say that the Dillinger mess was due
to Dillinger becoming embittered at
society because of an unjust SEN
tence, but in Indiana we know that
the Dillinger mess was caused by the
extension of the McNutt spoils sys-
tenn to all state institutions.

run the big risk involved in eX-

way out. There is only one. Have
the tanks bring up a cheddar twice
