program OF Federal. state and local co-opera-
ton against criminal activities that the gov
eEument at Washington is soon to put into
effect.
Atty. Gen. Homer s. Cummings recently
revealed the plans by which scientific train
ing school for state and local police officers
will be opened. probably this summer. A
similar training course viii be made avail
able 10 state prison officials; Federal bureau
OF crime prevention will be sought from Con-
gress for coordination of Federal, state and
local police efforts. and not only police Of
icers. but Federal attorneys. marshals and
commissioners will receive training that will
help them in proper prosecution Of criminals.
Never before in the history Of the country
has so complete campaign on behalf of So
ciety been attempted. and for this ATTY. Gen.
Cummings and his staff are to be commended.
Plant. technical equipment. scientific IA
cilities. lecturers and instructors will be avail
able" Cummings says, adding that the sole
expenses for the students" will be their
transportation to and from Washington and
their personal living costs during their stay
there.
All that is needed now is cooperation of
Federal, state and local authorities for this
united battle against crime Recent develop
ments promise well for such joint effort.
"One Of the major factors in such recent
success as has been achieved has been the in
creasing cooperation among Federal, state
and local agencies" Cummings asserts in this
connection. The future requires even closer
coordination. and even more complete give
and-take in all our activities"
To attain this sort Of cooperation, how
ever. petty local pride and jealousy must be
waived for the higher purpose at hand. Poll
tics must be set aside entirely
And there must be a willingness Of local
officers, at ii IS, to work under others in a
centralized el4oft to achieve a common end
Activities Of Uncle Sans operatives against
kidnapers, and the cOmmendable aid given
them by state and local authorities, points to
the effective success of such program.

DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS IN
1886 IS DOUBTFUL.
By Old Line Democrat,

By Old Line Democrat.
Senator VanNuys has declared
war on the StatehouSe. He charges
that the old-line Democrats are ig-
nored by the McNutt- Greenlee
crowd. Greenlee Indignantly de-
MES the accusation. And so the
war is on between the VanNuys and
City Hall contingents and the State
house machinists.
Whatever pretensions may De
made by the leaders in this great
factional war to the contrary, it is
really a war of one machine against
the other-a war not in the interest
of the party or the forgotten men in
the party, but a war to control the
state government, the party ma
chinery and, last but not least, a
war for control of the patronage and
spoils.
Democrats not allied either with
the City Hall machine or the State
house machine regard with some
misgiving and disnay this war of
factions. It bodies i'll for party sue

state in the union). They see little

At hand is a report from one Roy S. Wenz-

diets boom for around 1904, if we can hold
on until then. Mr.. Wenzlick has made a study
of real estate conditions in 275 cities of the
United States, and the surprising thing about
his conclusions from this study is the fact
that he finds a close parallel between mar

Marriages, he finds, are increasing and
while during the years of depression, many
newly married couples lived with their par

not only to live apart, but to break up the
households where such doubling up prevailed.
And that means greater demand for apart

VETERANS OF '9S HAVE
THEIR HEADS UP TODAY

out and I can remember a great
many things that happened in my
home town in Kentucky.
I was married and had children
when the war with Spain started
in '98 and didn't think of going to
enlist as there were so many ready
to go. young boys and men older
than I that had families.
Since coming here Sunday with
my son-in-law I have had my first
real view of these men since 1898.
Some I didn't recognize as they
we're young boys in 1893.
Their heads are up and they
laugh and joke like they did years
ago, though some Of them know
that they have but short time on
earth. And they offered their lives
so freely that I might enjoy peace
full life with my family.

only a roofing conclave of has
been beneficiaries." The grass
has been short for the old rugged
individualists since Hoover
chickens" came home to roost.
The very roster of the SPRING
field convention made it impos-
sible to expect an intelligent pro-
posal to come from there. None
of those at the session had been
chosen from the ranks" Of those
on relief. But they expect to fool
those on relief with scraps from
the Constitution as substitutes for
food, shelter and clothing.
There may be some saps in this
group who would like to eat and
wear the Constitution. Sounds
like the old prosperity around the
corner gag. -Four years was enough
Of that. NO one could expect an
intelligent program of social re-
construction to emanate from
Springfield in 1885.

FERA EDUCATIONAL
EFFORTS ARE PRAISED

By H. L.
The FERA classes in adult educa-
ton are for the purpose OF making
useful and cultured Americans.
From teachers and fellow students
We gain that inspiration which
makes study fascinating. How easy
to find something else to do when
we try to study at home!
IN advance democracy the Roose-
welt administration has here taken
a step that is worthy Of every en-
couragement. You are invited to
come to the educational office and
petition for a teacher Of any science,
useful or fine art which you wish to
study. When enough progressive
people make the demand, the teach"
er will be found.
Here is our chance to make the
most of the depression. Why allow
unemployment to ruin you?
The courses in psychology, public
speaking, vocal and instrumental
music, short story writing and dra-
mates are especially interesting. 1
have spent many pleasant and
profitable hours in these classes.
Among the business courses
which prepare us for a position are
tipping, filing and shorthand. Typing
is a pleasure and an accomplish
ment for all who are gifted with me-
chanical skill.
Glasses in French, Spanish and
English have been offered. We have
a chance to use English every time
we open our mouths.
Idle young persons between the
ages of Is and 81 are invited. You
will have so many years to enjoy
your attachments.
This adult education is a long step
in the right direction. The talent
of the teachers will surprise you.
With their fine spirit of co-opera-
ton in trying to serve all, you will
be pleased. Come out and gain all
of the marks of an educated man.

THE MITCHELL CHARGES

DRES3DENT ROOSEVELT and Secretary
u Dan.cl c. Roper. who are responsible for
the conduct Of the Commerce Department.
had perfect tight TO FIRE Ewing Mitchell and
hire another assistant Secretary Of Commerce.
And. ordinarily. charges Of the type made by
Mr.. Mitchell would be dismissed as the re-
examinations Of a discharged ofice-holder.
But. in this case. because there already has
been so much bad door about the whole ship
ping business. we believe the public is entitled
TO a complete airing Of the charges made by
Mr.. Mitchell.
II is alleged. among other things. that the
operators Of the now laid-up Leviathan have
escaped their obligations to the government
and are enjoying an illegal subsidy for non
operation.
Taken alone that charge is serious enough.
But It's importance Is more as a symptom Of
general conditions. There has been a smell
none too sweet about the subsidies and about
the Commerce Departments failure 70 en-
force ssfeey-at-sea regulations. Nor have
public suspicious been allayed by the appar-
ent desire Of Mr.. Roper TO sit on the lid rather
than let in the daylight
With Congress considering legislation to
remedy conditions revealed by the Moro Cas-
tie disaster and legislation avOwedly designed
to correct abuses in the subsidy system. it is
doubly important that all facts be exposed to
public view.
SO the controversy surrounding Mr.. Mitch
ellis dismissal is a proper subject for congress
sional investigation. And the pending ship
ping measures should be held up until Con-
gress has learned how much Of a fire there is
at the source Of this smoke.

H00ey and HMey

The 1885 bred Scott decision is
hailed in Springfield as the charter
of liberty, not for the workers Of
America, but for the "eXploiterS'
of labor.
What matters the buying power
of the rich in America? 1t is the
buying power of the 96 per cent
of the population who only own 10
per cent of the wealth Of the ma
ton which tells the final story Of
prosperity or poverty. Springfield
represents the 4 per cent who own
81 per cent of Americas wealth.
What liberty have the % million
on relief, or what matters the
Declaration of Independence and
the Bill of Rights to the millions
in economic slavery?
An oligarchy of wealth may pa
rade as republic in disguise, but
the real test of democracy is its
ability to make every citizen a
sovereign, every man king!
Kings in rags are poor spectacle
in a republic.
1t won't be difficult to choose
between Hooey and Huey.

LAUDS FERA UMPIRE
ON CLEAN SPORTSMANSHIP

BY A Fan.
Sitting in Garfield Park the other
day, I watched one of the finest
umpired games of baseball it has
been my privilege to witness in a
long time.
Before the game my attention was
attracted by remark made by a
player that they would run that
Jump" ragged, to which remark one
of the spectators said, IF you can
run 'Blackie' or don't get a square
decision as he sees it, will be very
much surprised"
And I must say this man called
them straight, without fear or ;avor,
and was in a position at ali times
TO call all plays that came in his
territory.
This. was F'ERA game and the
ones who have charge of FERA
baseball should be congratulated on
having clean sportsmen, especially
in the umpire's position. Many Of
these city teams need good men in
this position. Why don't they get
them?

Of the passage Of the economic security bill
will come as a message Of hope. For one of
the purposes Of this measure is eventually to
doom that most degrading Of institutions, the
county poor farm.
Title one Of the bill operates for early sub

Title two eventually would make pensions IN
necessary by providing a national system OF
compulsory old-age annuities supported by in

The poor farm is this rich country's

Our Future?
Reprinted From the For. worth Press.

w Within the next five years this nation
must make up its mind whether in economic
matters it is to be strong centralized nation,
or whether it is a confederation of 48 seps rate
and smaller nations reserving to themselves all
powers not expressly granted to the central
government.
This is the most important and most con-
tinuing internal debate within the nation itself
Whether one agrees with President Roosevelt in
ANYTHING else he said, all are forced to agree
that the events of the last few days mean that
this question presents itself more formidably
than since the days of the Civil War.
Within the framework Of the nation are en-
braced states as diverse as Pennsylvania, Ham,
iltonian from the start, and Texas which has
always paid lip-service to the doctrines of
Thomas Jefferson. States as diverse in interest
as Connecticut, which lives almost entirely oy
manufactures and Texas, which lives almost
entirely by the production Of raw materials.
States as diverse in size as Rhode Island
which is barely larger than Tarrant County
yet has two United States Senator's, the same
as WEI, and Texas which is larger in area thar
many frst-ranking nations States, again, of
almost as wide diversity in educational stand
ards, social customs. literacy, and many other
respects though not in language, as European
nations.
