VISIT FROM SON
INSPIRING To
AUPTMANN
BY KENNETH T. DOWNS

FLEMINGTON, N. j., Feb. 4.
G.N.S0 Inspired by the first visit
from his baby. ,Mannfried, since
has trial for the murder of the
Lindbergh baby began, Bruno
Richard Hauptmann's drawn face
showed a new look of grim resolu-
ton today.
Hauptmann was pretty much
upset" when his fair-haired, one
year-old son was taken to his cell
in the Hunterdon County Jail
yesterday afternoon, according to
a reliable source.
The strange, sphinx-like pris-
oner, who grinned last week
when Baby Lindbergh's pitiful
sleeping suit was handed to him
in the court room and he denied
he had ever seen it before,
clGtched his own son to his breast
in sort of desperation as though
he might not ever see him again.
Deeply Moved
For 20 minutes he had the
baby. He spoke to him in a low,
husky voice and was deeply
moved as the gurgling infant
cooed at him in wonderment and
plucked his nose and his ears
with chubby, inquisitive hands.
Two impassive State Troopers
watched the strange meeting Of
father and son in the brightly
lighted cell.
After the baby was removed by
Mrs. Harry McCrea, wife of the
warden and handed to Mrs. Anna
Hauptmann, the prisoners pathe.
tically loyal wife, Hauptmann sat
down on his bed and clutched
his head in his hands for several
minutes.
The prisoner dug his fists into
his eyes but shed no tears. Then
he got up and paced rapidly up
and down his cell, apparently
obIivious to the silent State
troopers.
Jurors See Baby
Mrs. Hauptmann, who had
stood outside the meshed bars Of
the cell. appeared to be deeply
moved by what she had seen.
She said:
Richard felt very bad when
the baby had to CO."
Then she hastened from the
ancient stone prison with the
baby to her boarding house here,
trying to dodge photographers.
Some Of the jurors who hold
Hauptmann's fate in their hands
witnessed part of this scene from
a balcony of the Union Hotel
across Main Street from the Jail
and courthouse. They saw the
toil-worn little blond woman
hurrying away with the chubby
infant.
Mrs. Hauptmann made an ef-
fort to get the baby in to see his
father last week, but Sheriff
John Henry Curtiss would not
permit the visit because the re-
quest had not been made Suf-
ficiently early.
She brought the baby here yes
terday from New York, where he
has been kept by relatives while
she attended the trial.

No one individual could hope
to cover the milk mileage of

If he had 7-league boots he
would find the job too much
for one pair of legs.
1t takes numbers and organ
ization and horsepower, on

to see that milk gets where
it is wanted.
Before the route men start on
their nightly rounds another
army of workers has seen
action.
The milk must be certified or
pasteurized-this company
handles 4,50O cans in an g.
hour period.
All bottles must be sterilized.
Then they are filled and capped
by machines.
After bottling, the milk is put
in coolers. From this storage
it is transferred to wagons
and trucks for house and
store delivery.
Every "a hours the corporate
milkman puts 154,S3S bottles
of milk and dairy products
on Washington doorsteps.
He covers 238 routes.
He requires 81 horses and 254
automobiles. He buys from
700 producers to serve $1,000
Washington customers.
Milk is as much a product of
organization as it is of cows.

adequate to a great city's

THE CRUCIAL. TEST

TINE lost liberties of the world have been
lost only for a while, and not for keeps.
So says DR.. Ellis Paxon Oberholtzer, Phila-
de!phia historian, in an address before the
University of Virginia Institute of Public At
fairs.
1t is DR.. Oberholtzer'S notion that We are
now progressing through a painful cycle in
human affairs in which, distressed by the
fix into which we have got ourselves we are
locking for miracles. Being unable to &C
complish any miracles of our own volition,
ne continues, we tend to turn to dictators who
promise that they can do what we can not do.
We get. therefore, in one country after an
other, dictatorship
Italy puts its fate in the hands of MusSo-
I'M. Germany follows Hitler, Russia clings to
Stain, and other nations find themselves
turning toward similar men. And out of it
all has grown a feeling that the democratic
idea has been worked out, that people are not
and can not be capable of solving their own
problems in a complex modern world, and
that a regime in which there is a relentless
driving power applied to the attainment of
some simply and clearly defined goal is the
only regime that offers mankind any hope.
It is precisely in this connection that DR..
Oberholtzer is worth listening to; for he in
siSts that this is only passing phrase, and
not a new, longtime trend in human affairs.
Eventually, he predicts, the dictators will
demonstrate that they no more possess the
magic password to a better world than the
people en- masse possess it; and when that
day comes, humanity will shake itself vigor-
ously and the dictators will go flying off like
drops of water from the coat of an energetic
spaniel.
Tine new tyrant," ne says twill go the
way of the old and take the same place in
the history of mans movement on this earth"
Perhaps the greatest danger we run nova
days is the danger of growing discouraged by
the progressive failure in one country after
another, of parliamentary institutions and
democratic processes. By growing discouraged
we prepare the way for the destruction OF such
institutions and processes in our own coun-
try.
When we take the long view, and reflect
that this reversion to dictatorship in the
modern world is still approaching its crucial
test. that in the long run it will stand or fall
by the amount of plain human happiness it
IS able to bring to the ordinary citizen-when
we do that, we are able to see that our own
democracy is by no means diScredited or out
worn.

THOSE POP BOTTLES

NTHAT was referred to as excitement at
W the ball park Sunday afternoon re-
suited in the injuring of two persons, one a
young woman who was cut so badly that sew
eral stitches had to be taken in her head.
The so-called excitement" came when the
umpire Of the Indianapolis Minneapolis base
ball game lost his temper and lapsed into
what Eddie Ash Times sports editor, referred
to as "frenzied umpiring" Several fans then
proceeded TO out-frenzy the umpire by hurting
pop bottles at random.
Loyalty to the home town team is a fine
thing. a symbol of what might be called
patriotism 10 the city. But when loyalty TO
the home team starts pop bottle showers it is
just as well that We have no loyalty at all.
Pop bottle throwers are as bad as mad
dogs. if not worse. Human beings. at least.
are credited with some semblance of mental
balance.
There isn't any law on the statute books
about pop bottle throwers at ball games, but
there should be one and part of the cure
might be Of penning up the suspect for 10
days 20 examine him for rabies.

TUESDAY. JULY 9. 1888.
IS II WORTH IT2

CRIMINAL JUDGE FRANK P. BAKER
- who was elected to the Criminal Court
bench by the voters Of Marion County, is paid
a total salary Of s7l816 a month
OF this salary. the taxpayers Of this county
pay s4Os.4l while the remainder-s3O9 Is
comes out Of the State Treasury.
During the last two weeks in which The
indianapolis Times has been keeping a daily
calendar Of the judges courtroom activities it
is revealed that the taxpayers Of Marion
County paid s873s an hour for the hours that
Judge Baker spent on the bench. That con-
fines the situation to the voters and taxpayers
OF this community.
But now. with the additional salary from
the state, the situation becomes Of general
interest. Not only do you and your neighbor
contribute to the judges salary but your rela-
tives and friends who lie IN the northern or
southern part of the state also contribute their
snare Of taxation to maintain Judge Bakers
salary.
Figuring the hours on the bench in the
same manner in which the county figures we're
given yesterday, The Times, elsewhere in to-
days paper. reveals that his actual bench
time cost the state s6624 an hour.
In other words the citizens of this county
and state are paying Judge Baker an average
OF Sl536 an hour.
Throughout the country, no doubt, there
are industrial leaders who are being paid
sl536 an hour. They were not elected to a
post by the people but are intent on forward
ing the welfare of their own companies and
communities.
Judge Baker was elected. And Judge
Baker certainly must have the welfare of his
community much more at heart than does the
busy industrialist whose life and time are
spent in the confines of his business.
Working an 8-hour day. like most of us, at
the rate of S1536 an hour. would make Judge
Bakers salary quite sizeable. However, this
is not true and the judge is only paid S71816
a month which would not be an exorbitant
salary for man in this position who spent
40 or so hours a week, working hard at the
tasks on which the administration of justice
in this county is based.
But few hours divided into the sum make
the average figure impressive. And it was
information such as this, to which the public
is entitled. that CLYDE c. Karrer attorney and
often Judge pro tenn. in Criminal Court, termed
kids play"
If this is kids play is it worth the cost?

two years. Industry has been collecting its
toll from the consumers since the first tariff
act was passed on July T. 17S9
The farmers are getting benefits from proc
essing taxes on eight basic commodities. In
dustry. including the professors, collects bene-
fits on hundreds of tariff protected comnod-
tiles
The farmers have repeated benefits under
AAA's processing taxes Of se65G0O 900 since
1885. Industry has reaped billions.
Through the years since Alexander Ham
ilton's time the farmers have been forced to
sell their products on an open market and to
buy finished goods on protected market For
the first time now the farmers are getting a
bit Of protection on the things they sell.
How ironic is the professors attack on AAA
may be seen by comparing the farmers new
benefits with those the professors have en-
Ioyed for years. The processing tax on wheat
is 30 cents a bushel But the Hawley- Smoot
tariff in sl.O4 a hundred pounds and 30 per
cent on white bread. The processing tax on
hogs is 2H cents pound; the tariff on smoked
bacon is ga cents a pound The processing
tax is AZ cents on raw cotton; but the tariff on
the farmers work shirts and overalls and on
his wife's bingham and muslin goods is 371a
per cent ad valorem.
There is no processing tax on milk, but
there is a tariff Of IA cents pound on butter.
Tariffs are collected on nearly everything the
farmer buys-on work shoes at 20 per cent;
wool shirts, As per cent; steel posts, so per
cent; on tractors, cream separators, horse COL
lars, windmill pumps, and so on. ad lib.
tariff of so per cent also rests on womens
silk hose. Thanks to the AAA, this item be-
gins to interest the farmers wife.
