NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
BOY OF II VS.. MAN OF 40

Is man of 40 years responsible to the State
and to society for an act he committed when ne
was boy of IT?
Is a man of 40 the same person, the same char
acter. the same individual, with the same identity,
of the boy of II?
Should a man of 40 with record as good,
selfrespecting, respectable, sef-sustainng, law
abiding citizen, be punished by the law for an Of
Tense committed when he was boy of II in a
distant state?
Such were the questions which Governor DaVey
of Ohio faced in part at least, few days ago in
the case of Carlton B. Chiffon respected citizen
of Cleveland, who escaped from the Oklahoma
State reformatory % years ago.
Governor Davey answered the third of the fore
going questions in the negative whatever may have
been his answer to the first and second, when he
declined to honor requisition from Governor Mar
land of Oklahoma for the return of Chiffon to the
reformatory to complete service of a two-year
term, to which he had been sentenced as boy for
participation in the robbery of small-town bank.
Chiffon and another and older boy were passing
the bank in the small town, when they noted the
door was open and no one inside They entered
and saw pile of loose cash. The older boy sug-
gested they take it. Whatever may have been Chill
toms attitude, the older boy grabbed the money
and both fed Later they were apprehended. The
older boy had given part of the money to Chiffon.
The latter pleaded guilty, upon advice of his law
yer, and was sentenced to two years in the re-
fornatory
Before his term expired he escaped, made his
way to Ohio, finally married, settled down and for
many years had lived the life of a good citizen.
Recently he was identified by the Oklahoma au-
thorities as the escaped youth from the reforma-
tory and steps were taken to have him returned
After hearing much evidence and argument on
both sides, Governor Davey said: 81 can no

GOOD STUEE


For the first time in history,
the public school children of
Ashevillc, N. c., will be graded
this year on good citizenship
along with their ratings on aca-
dcmic studies.
Children in the lower grades
will be told that a good citizen
is: courteous; obeys PROMPTLY
and cheerfully; is clean in speech;
is reliable and dependable: coop
crates with group n work and
play; is prompt in getting to
school and work; makes good use
Of time; shows proper cOnsidera-
ton for the rights of others; is
careful of public and private
property; has self-control; is care
full of personal appearance; and
has good health habits"
High school pupils will be in
formed that good citizenship re-
Quires: Courtesy - good man
ners; punctuality and regularity
Of attendance; respects for the
rights and property of others;
Willingness to conform to neces-
sary laws and regulations; coop
Grafton in constructive school
and civic activities; and enthus-
iasm and chcerfulness in facing
difficulties"
Since the safety, the property
and the honesty of the community
must be founded OH good citizen
ship, the principles Of good citiz-
enship should be thoroughly drill
ed into the consciousness Of every
school child-from the first grade
on up. A solid grounding in the
knowledge Of what constitutes
good citizenship is as necessary
to the educational equipment of
every person as reading, writing
and arithmetic. The community
can not be morally healthy unless
its inhabitants are preponderantly
J good citizens.

Lone Survivor
OF Plane Crash Is
Still HystericaI
10 Die; Authorities Hope
Girl Can Shed Light
on Accident

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 7. (UP).
The body of William Leahy, Pitts
burgh, was found Sunday near
the tri-seated sightseeing plane
which crashed and burned Satur-
day night killing 10 persons just
as it was about to land at NUM-
cipal airport; Lcahy apparently
had crawled through the flaming
wreckage and died.
The bodies were so charred that
identificatio was not completed
until late yesterday. The plane
took off perfectly with II per-
sons aboard who had paid 81 and
pilot Eric Beckley, owner. As it
circled back for a landing one mo-
tor stopped and the crash follow
ed.
Federal and local investigators
hoped that Linda Mcdonald, Is,
the lone survivor, would be able
to explain the accident. She was
in critical condition today still
historical over the death of her
sweetheart, John A. Powers OF
Miami, Fla. She said she scream
ed to the other passengers just
before the crash:
Jump! For Gods sake, jump"
Then she added: -,
"They were frozen with fear.
She said she squeezed through a
narrow portfolio as flames licked
at her dress and attempted to pull
out her fiance who had been
knocked unconscious. But her
strength failed and she had to
draw back as she watched him
and others burn.

KEYSTONE OF NATIONS PROSPERITY
IS THE BUYING POWER OF LABOR
(By WILLIS THORNTON)

The greatest gain made by American la
Dor during the trying days that have passed
since the Great Collapse in 1929 does not
appear on any statute book. 1t IS written
in no court proceeding, recorded IN no
chronicle of the picket lines.
II is this: for the first time in the history
of the country, practically everyone, work
man, employer, professional or business
man, recognizes that the keystone OF pros
perity and the welfare of all of us is the
purchasing power of the men and women
who work.
A few economists always knew it. But
there were always some in influential
places to deny it, and the great majority
of people were indifferent to it. Now, 1t
has been borne in on us again and again.
bv the most careful studies of economists
of the Brookings Institution type, and by
the daily observation of every man VINO
studies his own and his neighbors' lives.
Without wages that will put strong pur-
chasing power into the hands of those who
work, there can be no prosperity, no secur-
ity for anyone.
The American market remains the great
estin the world. And that is because the
buying power of the American workman
has always been high in comparison with
that of Workmen abroad
1t is good to have all the foreign mar
kets we can get, but the fact remains that
the great market of the world is right here,
and that it's keystone is good wages which
will put purchasing power into the hands
of the many.
Merchants know it. They have seen
their sales leap as employment grew and
wages rose.
Professional people know it. They have
seen medical, dental, and legal bills paid,
after having been dormant for years.
Business men of all kinds know it, for
they have seen the pulse of business beat
faster as that purchasing power seeped
down through retail trade into light, and
then to heavy, manufacturing.
Working people themselves know 1t, as
they have watched their pay envelopes
translated into more and better things to
broaden their own lives.
Everybody knows it now, and the uni
versal establishment of that glowing truth
is the best augury for the future of Amerl-
can labor as it joins hands once again in
celebrating its own day.
The future of American labor is some
what clouded in detail. Rival organizations
put forth their claims for attention. Differ
ent courses of action are urged on the men
and women who work.
But the central fact flabor's keystone
position in the national economy is so firm
ly established that the future can be set
along only one course: Forward"

pei is attacked publicly even by
leading men of the state -. In
the country of Martin Luther,
evangelical Christians are pre-
vented from bearing witness to
the Gospel in public meetings. =.
"The continual spying upon
Church activities must cease. The
bans on Church meetings in pub
lie places must be lifted The fet-
tiers which bind the Church press
and Christian charity must be
loosed. This we demand in the
name of the living God from all
who are in office in Germany"
Whether the sincere, earnest
Christians in Germany realize 1t
or not, this drastic treatment Of
the Church is going to have a
wholesome effect, for it will cause
to leave the Church those persons
who have been using that nstitu-
ton as a social, a business, or a
political club. 1t will take out Of
the Church the respectable rascals
who have been using the Church
as a smoke screen for their devil
try. 1t will eliminate from the
church the fakes and the Phari-
sees and all others who have not
their religion in their souls; and
it will draw to the Church per-
sons who believe in it, but who
have remained away from it. This

NEW YORK.-This years Labor
" Day will find large group of
organized workers embarked on
the most important attempt labor
has yet made to organize and
WELD its political power
The American Labor Party will
have a column on the ballot in
New York state. From several
angles it is one of the most inter-
eSting factors in the national
campaign.
The ALP leaders seek to get
out big vote for Roosevelt and
Governor Lehman in New York's
industrial centers. The two men
are the party's official candidates
on the ballot. (ALP IS part of
labor's Non-Partisan eague,
which functions elsewhere for
Roosevelt without forming po-
litical party.)
The big idea of ALP, however,
is to test whether it is practical
now to form a national labor party
in the United States. The lead
ers privately say that's why they
created it. (
q Most Roosevelt voters will mark
their crosses in the Democratic
column But if enough of them
take the trouble to sign UP under
the clasped-hands emblem Of
ALP, some OF the ablest and
strongest labor leaders in Amer
lea will feel justified in spreading
the party into the other states.
They believe they can quickly
find strong nuclei in the indus
trial east, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
and the Pacific Coast. The test
in New. York state will cost more
than 100000
Finally, large part of what
ever credit the ALP gets will have
to go to a woman-Mrs. Gilmore
