What shall be said Of him who had
the chance to serve the ends of justice
but didn't serve them?
He is in q far worse state than the
man who never had the opportunity.
To do good to others in such world
as this 1t is not necessary to seek op-
portunities, but simply to avail ones
self Of those that present themselves.
This is so simple that thousands
overlook 1t. They talk about service
and the like, as If these were ends in
themselves, and not just ways OF doing
something for others.
Every one. no matter his station in
life, has endless chances, nine-tenths
of which he misses. because he Is look
ing too hard for them. and hence over
looks them, figuratively and literally.

A great man once said that many
persons who believe they have no faith
nevertheless have one-faith in au-
thority.
This authority may be government,
or anything else. but it results in a
bowling down to every one in charge.
This is their faith, and it has its
works.
One of the bad features Of it Is the
timidity it brings to many an other
wise bold person.
Boldness need not be impudence; it
may be determination to do what Is
right, regardless of consequences.
If we are afraid to have an opinion,
mainly because we are afraid of Offend
ing someone, or something, we are in
great danger of being ''timid souls" in
more ways than one.
Timidity doth make fools of us all,
but that is not the worst part OF it.
1t makes us afraid to do the good
we might easily encompass.
We are shy. unable to take advan-
tage of the opportunities as they arise.
We wonder what another. will say,
how he will take it." whether he
will understand our motives.
Timidity holds many good soul
from doing the thing he knows he
ought to do when he knows he
should do 1t.
One would not advocate resistance
to lawful authorities as moral virtue,
or a way to do good, exactly.
What one may do Is to point out
that undue subservience to authority,
no matter in what shape it appears,
helps make a human being ''timid
SOUL" and that the shrinking SO en-
gendered is very likely to show itself
in more ways than one.
We speak Of an abuse Of reverence
Of authority. no doubt. This abuse
consists of too much bowling down,
too much accepting without thought,
too much upholding when something
else Is demanded.
Every one, in the daily life. has a
will have, Of seeing that justice is
done others.
Not only can he do as much good,
himself, as possible, but he can regis
ter displeasure with others, if they
fail to see justice done.
This is not an enviable role, per-
haps, but if more persons were will
ing to accept 1t, there would be less
plain monkey-business in the world,
far less unfairness and injustices done
How can righteous anger be expected
Of him who is afraid to call his soul
his own?
Where will be the flaming indigna-
tion of great moralists, If the world of
men is mostly made up of snivelling

A Gloomy Prophet.

Secretary Henry A. Wallace, the
Presidents right bower when 1t comes
to agriculture, covered wide field
pessimistically in an address last night
to the National Education Associa-
ton. The one encouraging thing
about it all was that Mr.. Wallace pre-
ferred to speak extemporaneously, as
serting that he wished to clear up
certain issues in his own mind. The
conclusions which he reached in this
thinking -out-loud process may appear
contradictory here and there But that
is sometimes the penalty of passing
Judgment without a thorough prepara-
ton,
Mr.. Wallace sees capitalism at the
end of the 1oad-or rapidly approach
ing the end. He is not original in this
thought. However, coming from a
member Of the cabinet to educators
from all parts of the country his opin-
ion has an opportunity, at least, for
widespread effect. He is not at all
specific regarding what is to follow
capitalism, although he indicates that
It should be some kind of modification.
The Secretary of Agriculture does not
care for Fascism or for Communism.
They are affected, he says. with the
same fault as capitalism. That fault
Is materiallSn. He does not care for
the doctrine of the survival of the
fittest, and he thinks that the effect
of teaching that doctrine has been
unfortunate.
So profoundly does Mr.. Wallace be-
lieve the old days-that is, the days
before the Autumn Of 1929-have gone
that he chided the educators for pre-
pairing students for opportunities in
life which have ceased to exist. These
opportunities had primarily to do with
work, gainful work and remuneration
therefor. Mr.. Wallace believes that
opportunities to work are no longer
to be found. He bases this thought
on contention that tWo-thirdS of the
people can produce everything re-
quired by the whole, under the mod
ern technique. His suggestion, there
fore, is that the people be taught to
play. OF course, Mr. Wallace had no
such thought in his mind, but this ad-
rnonition sounds to the layman very
like saying "let 'em eat cake"
The world, or certainly the United
States, is overpopulated if this theory
Of Mr.. Wallace is correct. When two
thirds of the people can produce
everything that is required by all the
people the situation has become any
thing but laughing matter. It looks
at such a time as though the law of
the survival Of the fittest, to which
Mr.. Wallace objects, may be forced
into operation. Mr.. Wallace, how
ever, may be incorrect in his estimate
Of the requirements of the people.
Considering the very little of any
kind Of production which a large
number of the people have, it might
be possible to cure the situation by
increasing the distribution instead of
curtailing production.
Mr.. Wallace may not be the Cas-
sandra Of the present administration,
although he sounds very like prophet
Of i'll omen. And why should he not?
For two years he has been engaged in
a program which demands scarcity of
production. The less that is produced,
the less opportunity there is for work
and jobs; the less there is to be dis
tributed to all the people. 1t is enough
to make any one pessimistic.

trict. He hoped he would be ar
rested by national guardsmen for
organizing a Roosevelt for Presi-
dent" club and making the first
anti-Long speech since Long called
out the National Guard Jan. IS to
break up the Square Deal Associa-

martial law that forbids all persons
from uttering any criticism of gov
eminent authority.
Form Roosevelt Club
Mr.. Sanders of Hammond repre-
sents the Sixth Congressional Dis
trict, preponderantly anti-Long.
The district includes this, the CAPT.
tai city. Last night he and nine
former members OF the East Baton

sion), all of whom had been legis-
lated out of Office by the Long con-
trolled Legislature, became charter
members of the first Roosevelt-for-
President-in-1936 Club organized in

radio to deliberately violate the
edict against criticism.
Il am member of Congress and
a candidate for reelection, cam
paigning in my home town." he said.
Il am supporter of Roosevelt and
an opponent of Long.
This is not martial law here. It
is seizure and usurpation of civil
authority by violence and force.

"The people of Louisiana are in
revolt against this Long despotisln;
this outrageous effort to foist mill
tary dictatorship upon an American
commonwealth.
For your oppreSSor's retribution

Mr.. Sanders particularly de-
nounced Longs efforts to keep
Federal relief funds out of the
state unless they are controlled by a
board Of his Governors appointees.

mary election will be held and the
people of Louisiana will have an
opportunity to express at the ballot
