Natures Children
Edible Crab Cancer pagurus)

aration is ready this line is pink. One
day is all that a crab is "soft-shen,'
BY cold weather the crab ceases to
be active, and quietly sinks to the bot
tom, to rec there until Spring. BY
Summer, a changes have taken place
and in IL or IA months it is grown
up" The female acquires the broad
apron with the last shedding, in place
of the pointed one. Her mate has
been close by when she cast her last
shell, though he does not claim her
until she has stepped out of it and is
in her wrinkled suit.
After all the eggs are laid it is be-
lieved the mother dies. This may
mean that the egg-laying is carried
over from one Summer until the fol-
lowing one. At best, two years OF
adulthood are the most a crab can
hope for.

mainly Raskob's money that paid Mi.
chelson's salary during the early years
OF Michelson's work.
1t would be quite within the ac-
cepted rules of political combat for
any Republican spellbinder to say, as
ne could say truthfully, that President
Roosevelt and Democratic National
Chairman Farley did not discover that
Du Pont money was tainted until after
they had ceased to be benefciaries
of it.
However, leave recriminatlon TO the
politicians. The questions of public
Importance are, first. whether the
present contributions in Maine are
being used for improper purposes. The
answer is no. The Democrats do not
charge that. The money is used for
expenditures which are indispensable
and useful-hire of radio time, adver-
tising, printing Of posters and the like,
rent of halls, travelling expenses for
speakers and organizers.
One of the purposes OF the outcry
made by New Dealers about the pres
ent Maine contributions is to create
prejudice against the contributors,
and thus intimidate others from CIV
Ing. This raises the questions: Are
these contributions too large? Are
the amounts from individuals too
large? And is the aggregate too
large? My own judgment Is that
granted the use made is proper and
0rpntad DO
no individual contribution can be too
large and no aggregate can be too
large.
This is an extraordinary campaign.
The New Deal has command Of enor-
nous funds. public funds. When
$4,000 100000 for relief and public
works were appropriated more than
year ago, Frank Kent said it would
be used as the largest campaign fund
in history" OF course, most of this
money is used primarily and legiti-
mately for relief But much of it is
directed toward winning the election.
l imagine that a competent and care
ful auditor might discover that as
much as scores Of millions of the
relief money Is directed toward keep
ing the New Deal in power And
much Of the rest Is directed with
winning the election as partial pur-
pose. Against such amounts, taken
from the taxpayers. all that the oppo-
nents of the New Deal will be able to
raise from private contributors must
be little more than small change.
II the New Deal wins this CAM
paign, and thereby shows that elec-
tions can be won by lavish outpour-
ing of public funds, the practice will
be established in such a way that it
will be difficult to get away from it in
the future.
In dispatch few weeks ago, deal
ing with the report Of the Commits
sion on Social Studies, I printed .
partial list of the college teachers who
mainly composed the commission. In

This incident needs some clarifi-
cation. The Senate Committee on
Campaign Expenditures is an Off
cial body. In composition 1t is non-
partisan, though of course, the Demo-
Gratis. being the party in power, have
a majority of the committee and con-
troll its actions. This committee has
access to the books Of all campaign
organizations of both parties. Ordi-
narily and logically. non-partisan
and official body would give out the
contributions of both parties at the
same time, and would give them out
complete and in the orderly manner
that should be expected of an Off
cial committee. What was done in
this case was quite different. Demo-
cratic members of the committee
selected and gave out the names of
IS contributors who are we'll known
as wealthy persons, and who had con-
tributed relatively large amounts to
the Republican fund. They did not
give any names of the hundreds who
had contributed smaller amounts. As
for contributors to the Democratic
fund. the committee said that Demo
cratic contributions and expenditures"
would be reported later.
Gave 10 Roosevelt In 1882.
So far, the only point OF much
public importance is one of preserving
respect for Government. An oficial
Senate committee is not supposed to
serve flagrantly the purposes of one
political party.
Immediately after publication of
the contributors to the Republican
campaign in Maine, New Deal spokes-
men emitted much vociferation about
men of wealth, especially the Du
Points, making Republican campaign
contributions. But the fact is the Du
Points, preceding the present cam
paign, contributed to Democratic
funds and contributed extremely large
amounts.
In the 1882 campaign, in which
President Roosevelt was a candidate,
and in the building up of the Demo-
cratic organization to elect Mr. Roose-
velt, the Du Points contributed very
large amounts. I take the facts from
an obviously careful compilation made
by Senator Hastings of Delaware in
the Senate April 20 last. Pierre du
Pont gave $4,000 to the Democratic
National Committee from 1928 to
1882 inclusive. Irenee du Pont gave
large amounts-he gave $1,000 on
April 4, 1893, one month after Mr.
Roosevelt was in the White House.
An important member of the Du Pont
Co.. John j. Raskob, was the largest
contributor any American political
party ever had. During four years he
gave $375OO0 in cash to the Demo-
cratic National Committee. He gave
$25,000 on October 81, 1892, to help
in the election of Mr. Roosevelt, which
took place two weeks later. At that
time, when Mr. Roosevelt was the
beneficiary of Du Pont money, he was
very grateful. On July 2, 1892, when
he was candidate for President, he
spoke publicly OF my old friend John
Raskob.'' 1t was Raskob who brought
about the employment of the present
Democratic publicity man and strste-
gist, Charles Nicholson. and it was

Landon makes Maine national show

Senator White trailed Gov, Landon

dramatization of the Maine prelimi-

used to be as a political litmus test.
Senator White, who served seven

On the day Of the San Francisco
