BRIGHT DOOM.

Were this green spring my last with burning need To savor fully sound and scent and keep Earths beauty treasured, with my falling breath Would not the sublimated sense lead Enamored spirit-poised for the dark leap Into mutation on the knees of death3

All In tho Past?

Publisher Knox was willing to admit that prior to tho last dec- ado of the nineteenth century, when the art of advertising came Into being, there were only iso- lated examples of newspaper froe- dom. Now every journal stands on itb own legs and the press is absolutely free of big business inc fiuence and control. It should be known in advance that the colonel was talking at the annual dinner Of tho Michigan Press Association and so was in Q sense growing on his own dunghill. He demanded whether Mr. Filene ale legged that the proprietors of great newspapers, s,--and he called them by name--,are engaged fin pull- ing the chestnuts out of the fire for special interests"; if they acc cepted dictation from the "inter- ests": and if they are owned and controlled by the "interests". I do not know what MT. Tilene would have answered if he had been present but I do know what reply would have come from this corner. It would have been an emphatic "Xesl" N

the change Dee
 came necessary. It developed that MT. Hoover was tho same MT. Hoover but that he had taken on Q new and altogether ditfer- ent type of ghost writer. Rumor has it that the wlge-cracker turning out Mir. Hoover's attacks on the New Deal is Q Kansas red head named MT. Charles Allen, Mir. Allen iH not to ho confused with another Charles Allen, the gay and llghtsome eri. bryo sawbones of Charles Dlck- ens' "Pickwick papers', the part- ner In business and in pleasure of Mir. Bob Sawyer, late Knock. emorf. Nevertheless there must be some kinship between the two Aliens because MT. Hoover's speech creator writes in tho same strain that MT. Dickens young medical student chatters. Said MT. Allen, through the vocal chords of Mir. Hoover:---
 "As I read further and further into the 0,2b0 verboten words of tho potato law, I realized that one of the impulses to cheerfulness was about to Do mashed out of American life. The potato had yielded not only food, but 1t had rAdiatod humor to our daily con- versation. It was once tho hnp- pieBt of all vegetables. It's lifo would have been saddened by the bootlegger, the passive rcsistor and the Federal inspectors. Con. fined to c package by law, its eyes would have been diinmod by the alphabetical revenue stamps it mugt boar."
 The listening farmers may have roared at this statesmanlike statement but it smashos MT. Hoover's cla!m to be taken seri- ously as an intelligent critic Of the Roosevelt policies in other parts of the country. Dull RB tho Hooverian utterAnees have inc variably boen in the past they at leaSt were seif-thought and self.writtcn. As such they de- served and received attention. But who cares to give consldera- ton, however fleeting, to attacks which arc born not in tho mind of tho ex.prosident but in the think.tank of Q prairie humerist trying desperately to be funny and not succeeding very well at the job.
 More Evidence
 Additional evidence that MT. Hoover is Q mouthpiece for MT. Allen ig to Do found in certain phraaos of tho Lincoln addreBs. The ex-prosidant told tho farms ors, Tt may shock those who be- liove that oil healing medicine comes of tho colleetivist brew. and, we shall be less than intels ligent and we shall Do heartleSs of tho farmorB problems If we do not distill from this wreckago gorno lessons in truth" Such words as "brew" and "distill" have never been listed in the Hoovorian vocabulary. Nothing pertaining to beer or whiskey could ever enter the thought of Q chief ex- ecutiyo who characterized prohi. bltion as Q noble experiment. and who clqped his mind against the findingS of the commission ho himself had set up to study the effects of the Eighteenth Amendment and to report wheth- or or not 1t should Do repealed.

:. Great newspapers are huge en- terprlses and an integral part of Big Business. They are almost without exception owned by men of great wealth. Tn several cases the owners are multi-mlIlionaires and as such have the business phychology and the social philos- ophy of their class. The repre- sentatives of special interests do not sit ct copy desks and blue pencil the matter which is later to appear in the printed pages. The control exerted is not in the news department but in tho edi- toriaI room. To realize how it works one has only to read . news story on the front page which prints the facts and then turn to the editorial page to see how the facts are distorted to meet Q spe~ cial end. The great neWspapera of the country are in themselves special interests, demanding spe- cial consideration, and special ex- ernpti0n from general regulation. MT.

not do a wrong thing after we were
married and we had wonderful
time together. He had stolen a car
and passed some bad checks. Now
he is in Jail with seven other boys
his age, awaiting sentence. He says
he will do right when he gets out if
only I will stick to him, but says if
I leave him he never wants to get
out.
I think he will have to serve two
years. I love him very much and
think I should give him one more
chance. His father and mother beg
me to. but my parents just see my
side. 1 know that they mean well,
for I am counted good girl, but
don't you think I should give him
another chance? My parents say
they will force me to get divorce.
Can they do so if I do not go along
with them? 0. w.
Answer-Your parents would be
wise not to urge you to divorce
until you have the desire for it.
They can not legally compel you
to get one.

imprisoned for two years there is
no need for immediate action.
After the situation becomes less
charged with emotion you will be
able to take more intelligent
view.
Although it does not surprise me,
I do not like the boys statement
that he doesn't want to get out
of prison unless you stick to him.
1t is an attempt to place the re-
sponsibility for his future on other
shoulders than his own, and is
characteristic of his attitude to-
ward life. The idea of saving a
human being from life of crime
is very appealing to you now be-
cause it makes you feel noble and
Christian.
If your plan were workable
would be all for it, but I'm not
at all sure that your loyalty alone
would provide a sufficient prop to
Keep so weak a character from
wobbling.
1t is not that the deeds he COM
mltted are unforgivable per Sc. It
is simply that they provide an in
sight into the mans character.
which is discouraging, to say the
least. We know that he is not
equipped to cope with things as
they are. He has not the ability
to compete with his fellows and
earn what he wants legitimately.
Neither has he the maturity to
forgo the immediate qualification
of his desires. All this points to a
bad preparation for adult life and
for marriage.
Even if he never took another
thing, we hardly could expect a
cooperative, well-adjusted human
being to emerge from this material
in two years.
1t is too bad that his next two
years must he spent in the COM
pany of seasoned criminals. Many
a lad who has been sent up for a
small offense learns more than he
ever knew about anti-social be-
havior from his fellow prisoners and
comes out equipped to commit larg-
er ohenses.
Will his present remorse hold
up under the unhappy life and
warped associations of his expert
ence in prison? Remorse may be
touching. but it is not an indi-
cation Of strength, and strength is
needed for the reformation Of a
character.
Unless he learns to accept the re-
sponsibility for his own life and is
willing to work for the advantages
he wants, your efforts in his behalf
will be useless. We may pity his
plight. but we can not recommend
that he be permitted to spoil two
lives instead Of one,
