Vitus Dance" than a govern
ment.
Diminishing Johnson a; "the
late lamented, the pampe'ed eX-
crown prince x X X loaaed by
Wall Street to run the govern
ment," whom he did not have
time to match in billingseate or
profanity, the Kingfish launched
in to singing offensive against
the administration.
Reviewing the crop destruc-
ton, hog killing production con-
troll campaign of the government
in a speech prepared for delivery
over a National Broadctsing net
work, Huev continued:
"What is it? Is it government?
Maybe so. 1t looks more like st.
Vitus dance"
Pausing only to intimate that
Johnson, "this erstwhile prince
of the deranged alphabet" was
making ready to appear at the
funeral of NRA, Long said:
"What is this trouble with this
administration of Mr. Roosevelt,
Mr.. Johnson, Mr.. Farley, Mr..
Astor, and all their spoilers and
spell binders? They think that
Huev Long is the cause Of all
their worry. They go cunning
for me-"
"But, am | the cause of their
misery? They are like old Davy
Crockett, who went out to hunt a
possum. He saw in the CLEAN
of the moonlight that a possum
in the top of the tree was going
from limb to limb. He shot and
missed. He saw the possum
again. He fired second time
and missed again. Soon he dis
covered that it was not a possum
he saw at all in the top of that
tree 1t was louise in his own
eyebrow.
"I do not make this illustration
to do discredit to any of these
gentlemen. | make it to show
how often we imagine we see
great trouble being done to us
by some one at distance, when,
in reality, all of it may be a
fault in our own makeup"
Long devoted about one third
of his prepared speech to at
lacking the administration. Then
ne swung into an exposition of
his :"share our wealth" program.
Long cited statistics showing
that wealth had concentrated
during the past 20 years, chiefly
at the expense of the middle
classes. The senator lamented
mat $50 few people owned so
much and that so many people
owned so little"

CRISP COUNTY POWER

In 1880 the only county-owned hydro electric
power plant in the world went into operation in
Crisp county, Georgia. At that time the county's
tax levy was Is mills, and if memory can be relied
on 1t was expected that the plant would be instru-
mental in reducing this levy.
NOW Crisp county's tax levy is &c mills, just
double that of 1880. This week Judge Bascom 5.
beaver ordered that special tax be levied on all
property IN the county for period of years to re-
tire debt of nearly $144,0OO still due for con-

proceeded deliberately and will
fully to pass certain perniciors
laws affecting the government of
the city of Asheville, situated in

Years before, Asheville had suf-
fered unprecedented loOting and
pillaging at the hands of pOliti-

adopted form Of government
council-manager non partisan
carefully designed to keep the
municipality out Of the clutches
of political machines. One prOvi-
sion in the charter made it unlaw-
full for the city employees to con-
tribute to campaign funds or to
participate in political campaigns.
Another provision placed the po-
lice and the fire departments UNI
der civil service, taking them
wholly out Of politics. Still an
other provision set up excellent,
crook-proof election machinery
for the city Of AsheVille.

limit SHOULD BE SET ON OBTAINING
WITNESS
(BY BRUCE CATION

Miss Betty Cow, the unlucky young "o-
man whose position in the Lndbergh mousse
hold caused her to make trip all the way
. across the Atlantic to testify at the Bruno
Hauptmann trial, has got back to England
by this time, and it is going to be long
time before she forgives Edward j. Reilly,
Hauptmann's lawyer.
'2 81 was hurt more by the suspicion Reilly
endeavored to cast on me than by any
other thing during the trial. Miss Cow
said when she reached England. THAT Is
90. something l will never forget or forgive
Now this little remark calls attention to
one of the queerest angles of our judicial
procedure - the seemingly limitlesS free
=" dom which is given to an attorney to at
tack a persons reputation without intro
ducing a single shred of evidence to SUP
port his charges.
=. Miss Cow, for instance, still enjoys the
confidence of her former employer At the
time of the kidnapping, the New Jersey au-
-, thorities went over her record with a fine
tooth comb and found nothing wrong.
She was not under the slightest shadow
of suspicion on the part of those who were
most interested in finding someone on
- whom the crime could be blamed.
- Then she returned to America to testify
at the trial-returned of her own free will
incidentally, since there was no way OF
making her come back.
And Immediately the Hauptmann de-
Tense began to shower her with lnslnua-
tions, yelled accusations, suggestive hints
until it almost looked as if she, and not
Hauptmann, were the one on trial.
This sort of thing is common in our
courts. Perhaps there is no way of COM
pletely ending it. A lawyer entrusted with
a mans defense must be given a certain
1. amount of latitude; he must be allowed to
,-suggest that his own client was not the
- must be permitted to impugn the motives
q and the character of the witnesses against
him.
g. But-need the thing go so far as it did
in this case? Has an upright, law-abiding
citizen who is called on to testify in a
! CILLlIlldl case Ho pIoleCIoh whatever!
Can we properly permit defense to be
based on the old theory that if you throw
enough mud some of it is bound to stick?
Our criminal court procedure is crying
for revision in several ways. One OF the
most important of them seems to be indi
Gated by this complaint of Miss Cow.
~ There ought to be some pretty definite
limit to the amount of free and easy mud
Singing that can be INDUCED in during
INSTRUMENTATION and argument.
