TOP o. the Morning.!

IT'S great day for the Irish!
And it's a great day for the friends of the Irish
And that that it's great day for just about every
body.
They're wearn the green Washington today in honor Of
st. Patrick (as you may have noticed)
Nobody will be hanged for his demonstration Of loyalty to
the patron saint of the ould sod this anniversary
The celebrations which began this morning will continue
through the night
And still they won't be long enough adequately to express
the feelings of the Irish.

by the future, he aroused the
dangerous enmity of the former,
but somehow, benign, venerable,
always in Seemly conformity with
that which his country most ven
Grated, he came to dwell, "above
the battle" and, in time, to per-
sonalize the ineffable wisdom
and virtue for which the Orient
always has sought a human
symbol.
Far beyond the realm Of side
real time, he seems, on his noun
tainside, beyond the stress OF
earthly contention. There are
those who whisper that behind
Japan's Manchurian outreach,
there is forming a ruthless Pan
Asiatic movement, and that the
brown and black peoples of the
earth will be aligned against the
white.

There is no literal translation
in English for "SicherheitS-Ver-
wahrung," but it implies a meas
ure whereby a man, having once
proven himself to be public men
ace, may be restrained for life,
even though evidence of actual
crime is lacking. And in all Christ
endom no law is so sorely needed.
Never before in history has the
human race held as many fiendS
and werewolveS as it does today;
never known such record of alb
normal crime, whose details are
unprintable. The machine age
may be mans cleverest era, but it
is also his crazieSt. Frail minds
crack easily under its pressure.
And, unfortunately, few Of us
recognize a cracked mind when we
meet one, or realize its menace.
BORDERLINE
The ghaStlieSt crimes in any
country are not perpetrated by
those who are plainly Of the "crimi-
nal type, but by those whom psy'
biologists place in the borderline
between sanity and lunacy. People
with "bees in their bonnets"
moroSe brooders, excited eccentrics
the cheerfully tolerated village
idiot whom everyone considers a
joke.
This "border-line" danger is
aggravated by the average citi'
zen'S ignorance. Childishly he
expects the lunatic to announce
himself by blowing bubbles or
turning cartwheelS. This quaint
conception is shared by most po'
licemen and many a judge.
The "Sicherheits- -Verwahrung'
law does not wait to act until
the village idiot-or the suave
stranger-has murdered IL little
boys. The first sproof of degen'
eracy or Simple-minde dedness serves
to mark him as undesirable
and removes the menace before
it can mature.

is difficult to think of him in
the flesh-with ambition, pas
sion, love and hate. His life, in
deed, bridges the mists between
feudalism and the febrile mo-
dernism of industrial Japan to-
day.
OF the ancient Samurai, gifted,
intelligent, the youth eagerly
sought knowledge of this new
world. He studied in Paris,
learning to speak and read
French readily. He was en-
chanted with the virile, eager,
versatile young Clemenceau:
Clemenceau taught him the fine
shadings ana subtleties of Occi-
dental statecraft. He also fired
him with an enthusiasm for a
new democratic ideal, resurgent

POSSIBILITIES

A story emanates from the
Argentine which is of vital con-
cern to our national legislators
and other public officials.
The story tells of man who
had been promised a job by a
candidate for the office of mayor
in the event that the candidate
was elected.
Elected mayor, the candidate
refused to give his campaign
worker the job.
Disappointed, the job-seeker
resorted to a plan which he be-
lieved would impress the mayor.
Promptly at four o'clock each
afternoon he sets off a bomb. It
has been so customary that the
residents of the town pay little
attention to the noise other than
to use it to set their clocks and
watches.

French revolution had "ebbed

That was in 1868. He returned
to Japan, a fervent evangelist
of the ideals of Occidental de-
mocracy, of Occidental govern
ment. The Emperor Meiji, one
of the great artificers of modern
Japan, caught echoes of the Oc-
cidental liberalism. He coun-
tenanced a constitution. A poet
and idealist, he began one of his
poems with the words, "OZoro

OLD FAVORITES
st. Patrick
-HenrY Bennett

St. Patrick was a gentleman,
Who came Of decent people;
He built church in Dublin town.
And on it put steeple.
His father was a Gallagher;
His mother was Brady;
His aunt O'Shaughnessy,
His uncle an O'Grady.
So, success attend St. Patrick's fist,
For he's a saint SO clever;
Oh! he gave the snakes and toads twist
And bothered them forever
The Wicklow hills are very high,
And SOS the Hill of Howth sir;
But there's HILL much bigger still,
Much higher nor them both, sir:
Twas on the top of this high hill
St. Patrick preached his sarmint
That drove the frogs into the bogs,
And banished all the varmint.

SENATE GROUP

Committee to Hold Hearing
on 'BaSing Point
System.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-Many
nationally prominent persons have

tee hearing on a bill to outlaw the
''baSing point" system of fixing
freight charges, it was learned to-
day.
Senator Burton K. Wheeler 3D.,
Mont0, author of the bill and
chairman of the committee, said he
expects to begin hearings in 10 days.
Among those invited to appear was
D. o. M. Sprague, who resigned as
a New Deal fiscal adviser after dis
agreement over the governments
financial policies.
Il have invited leaders of all
walks of industrial and financial
life to come here and give their
views" Senator Wheeler said. II
feel that the 'basing point system
not only is one of the chief causes
of the depression, but has been one
of the greatest obstacles to COM
plete recovery"
The "basing point" system is used
by many of the country's principal
industries, including steel, oil, ce-
ment and lumber. Here is the way
it operates:
A contractor in st. Louis, for ex-
ample, desires to purchase a car
load Of cement. He places his order
and the cement may be shipped
from Cleveland, but he pays freight
from the nearest "basing point" for
that product, which may be Chi
cago or some other nearby city.
