tic tendencies by the resolutions
adopted during the convention.
The first is the decision not
to aid in organizing the unem-
ployed or relief workers. On record,
the A. F. of L. is opposed to the
class theory, but in making this deci-
sion it recognized at least there are
two classes of workers: The un-
employed and relief workers in one
class and the employed workers in
another. The purpose of the A. F.
of L. is to aid only the employed
class and may the devil take the
other.
1t is a serious violation of our
theory of democracy when the
American Legion fosters legislation
to diSfranchise an American citizen
because of his political belief, but
when the A. F. of L. disbars a work
er from holding Office in his labor
union because of his political belief
it makes democracy seem a farce.
With its present tactics of apply
ing political pressure, the A. F. of l..
has accomplished some meager re-
suits in the way of labor legislation,
but most Of this legislation has been
declared unconstitutional by Fed
eral judges and the Supreme Court.
The only way that labor can have
laws interpreted to its advantage is
to unite in political party and ap-
point its own judges; but the A. F.
of L. again refuses to believe in
democratic methods and will revert
to the old method of direct action
which is anti-social. An organiza-
ton believing in democracy should
use democratic methods,

WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT?

CPEAKING to the Ohio Chamber of Commerce in
~ Cleveland, Gov. Landon expounded doctrine
which he described Kansas horse sense. This
seems to consist Of keeping government as simple
possible adjusting it in the light of experience to
meet problems as they arise, and accomplishing this
as far as possible on pay-as-you-go basis.
Few people, we believe will disagree with his gen.
era thesis. Yet they will differ what is necessary
for government to do, on what exper .ence has
taught and when and how is possible to operate
cash basis.
This Kansas idea is not new. 1t essentially was
the philosophy of President Coolidge In his regime
the disparity between the income of the rural popu-
lation and the city population grew ever wider, the
credit of the people funneled into the stock
markets. billions of the peoples savings were dis
sipated in blue sky operations and sent abroad
bad loans. Through it all Mr.. Coolidge kept govern
ment simple and his Federal budget better than
balanced But not the economic budget of the
people.
DRESIDENT HOOVER embraced the same phi
losophy. His regime harvested the whirlwind of
bankruptcies, foreclosures pauperzaion. In his four
years the national incoI shriveled to about half
its former SIZE and the ranks of the unemployed and
dispossessed multiplied Though he strove nightly
higher taxes and economy to get on pay-as-you-go
basis, he couldn't even balance his Federal budget
From bad to went the individual and collective
budgets of the people. whose welfare the govern
ment existed to serve
President Roosevelt has often expressed this same
general theory of what constitutes good government
Yet his application of it has been quite different
from that of either Coolidge Hoover. Under him.
the government stepped in to stop of the gam
bling with other peoples money which had proceeded
apace under Coolidge, and to reverse the defation
which crushed cut economic life and hope under
Hoover. The President, busy making the government
do what he regards as necessary, has given less
attention to balancing the Federal budget Perhaps
not enough attention
How simple we keep government? What
has experience taught? When is a balanced govern
ment budget important than all other con-
sderations?

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
- BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

NOMEBODY says that the American woman, being
swayed easily by her emotions, shops too hur-
riedly.
NOW such woman may exist, but I've not met
her lately. Most of those seen in the shops dawdle
-tor hours over the simplest purchases Instead of
emotion, extraordinary caution appears to swav
them.
10 be sure, there are occasional exceptions -
women who are overcome with the sudden desire for
some hat or bag or scarf whose color or form makes
such strong appeal that they are not able to resist
its charm.
But this kind of buying can not rightly be called
shopping; it's spree.
Wardrobe planning is an admirable virtue and
usually positive necessity But there come to all
of us moments when plans must be flung to the
winds lest something inside us burst. When that
moment arrives the economic skies NAV be their
blacklist, our love may lie bleeding in the DUST or
perhaps our children have hurt u.s. and so we 90 on
living only if We able to rush out and buy some
thing too extravagant for our purse something
wholly unfit for our wardrobe
1t may not be bad taste, then, which prompts
the typst, the kitchen maid the salesgrl to some
orgy of expensive shopping 1t may be the express
sion of inner rebellion which if suppressed too
long would topple her reason destroy her morale
Each woman's closet contains some such article
a reminder of the conquest of spirit circum-
stances. In mine it's hopeeSsly unbecoming yellow
coat-but it represents victory.
So, the too-bright hat, the vivid Shoes the bag
which shouts its coming far down the street. may not
be just hat or shoes bag. Perhaps they are
stepping stones through some slough of despond.
1t is sometimes imperative that woman shop with
her emotions.

Historic Rhine
BY BERTRAM DAY


The Rhine was born in far-off AL
pine heights,
It's cradle sheathed in
snow and ice,
In youth and age it laves historic
sights,
AS it flows seaward to its Para
disc.
Old castles border this majestic
stream
And on its silver thread, inlaid
with thought,
Are strung the pearls Of love-per-
hapS a dream,
Perchance legend dauntless men
have wrought.
The shadows of the Great passed
DER its falls
And were reflected in its secret
waves,
For Romans, Teutons, Normans,
Franks and Gauls
Have battled here to conquer
lands and slaves.
Upon the bosom Of the noble Rhine
Have travelled commerce, culture,
Cross Divine!

REPUBLICANS LEARNING
ABOUT NOMINEES

By N. E. P.
The defeat of Jack Kelly, Demo-
cratic nominee for mayor of Phila-
delphit, may have been due partly
to dissension in his own party but
it does show something about the
attitude of Pennsylvania toward the
New Deal.
The Republicans took a tremen-
dous licking when George H. Earle
was elected as the first Democratic
Governor in 40 years and they i'm
mediately began to correct their
strategy. Instead of a nominee for
mayor of Philadelphia who could be
branded as a reactionary conServa-
tive they took Republican, S.
Davis Wilson, who certainly is a
progressive.
In other words, the Republicans
are learning. They are learning that
they have to make a new deal them
selves in their choice of candidates.
1t is more natural for Philadel-
phia to choose a Republican than
Democrat, but it has not been so
natural to choose a progressive Re-
publican.
Kelly is one of the ablest of the
younger followers of Roosevelt, a
fine fellow and one of a notable
family. His brother is the play
wright, George Kelly, and another
brother is the famous Virginia
Judge" of vaudeville.

Sees Need for Change IN Code

agree the ancient theory of fit
ting the punishment to the crime
is not only false, but dangerous.
You will understand better the
occasions when the punishment
actually fits the crime-taking
into consideration the character
and capacities of the criminal =
may be regarded simply as CO.
incidences.
Thus it is possible, these two
now happy youngsters, happy be-
cause they have been relieved of
their life sentences, have a chance
to plead for mercy, for their first
and only offenSe ever committed
by them to a jury of Christian
mothers and fathers.
Legal machinery by which such
tragedies as these at Jasper and
all over the state might be averted
is simple and comparatively fool
proof.
Indeterminate sentences for all
persons convicted of felonies
would place their fates in the
hands Of prison board, composed
Of practical criminologists,
psychiatrists and vocational edu-
Gators. Regardless of the con-
vict's offense he would be in
carcerated until he could DEM
onstrate to this expert boards
satisfaction that he was entitled
to liberty and unlikely again to
abuse it.
The indeterminate sentence is
a powerful safeguard which pro-
tects society while offering the
repentant criminal a sporting
chance to come back. The act
committed by these youths was
wrong, reckless. 1t was silly of
them to believe that they could
get away with it. These boys de-
served a lesson, they did not de-
serve long terms in prison.
Each day hundreds of young
men enter prisons facing terms
that leave them hopeless and en-
bittered. Many could be saved.
1t is a crying shame that they are
left to degenerate into blanched,
furtive beasts because the society
which judges them lacks both
mass intelligence and mercy as
practiced by our Savior while
on earth.

THE GENTLEMAN EVIDENTLY
is ANTI-NEW DEAL
BY a Times Reader

By Times Reader
The recovery myth" is much like
Halloween lore No thinking person
would deny that the initiation of
bank deposits created by Federal
borrowing, and the spending Of these
billions by the government are re-
sponsible for this so-called improve
ment in business. This injection of
Federal spending is a hypodermic,
and is only temporary bolster for a
diseased economic structure. The
hypodermic must be administered
again, and in larger doses as the last
one wears off, if a total collapse is
to be averted. That this can con-
tinue for long period of time with
out bringing on exhaustion is an
other deluSion.

ing economic system, rather than
having removed a cancer that will

Penguins Most Comical;
Stand Erect Like a Man

There is bird SO helpless and de-
fenseless against human attack that
1t has stirred the pity of civilized ma
tons and become the subject of an In
ternational protective treaty, says a
writer In the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Penguins were In danger Of being
wholly exterminated by man before the
treaty was made. AIany years ago the
birds were very common, but they were
slaughtered by the hundreds of thou
sands because men coveted the yalu-
able oil in their bodies.
The birds collect In droves on An
tarctic Islands during the mating sea-
son. They stand straight up and wad-
die awkwardly on their two short legs,
like old frock-coated gentlemen. Their
stiff wings jointed only where they are
attached to the body, are quite use
less for flying TO kill them a man has
only to swing club. and until the in
ternational agreement was made, the
birds were III danger or being wiped
out.
Ordinarily penguins do not come
ashore. 1t Is only during the mating
season, when they must build simple
nests Of grass under some protecting
ledge Of rock or in a hollow In the
ground. that they risk trips away from
the sea for brief island visits.
AT sea they have no need OF wings,
for they are superb divers and swim
mers and they live solely on diet OF
fish, sea creatures and sea plants. Icy
water has no terror for them because
their scaly feathers are an armor-like
protection against 1t.
The penguin has won a wider repu-
tation for being comical In appearance
than for any other quality. Its legs,
located far back on It's body. permitting
1t to stand erect In quite human fash
ion, its white breast resembling shirt
front, its black back feathers looking
like dark coat, its dodderIng walk
and its upturned bird face, combine to
give it half-human look.
