Wolf Kidnaps Child
After Biting Orgy

MARACHE, Turkey, Q.N.S0.
A mad wolf which invaded" the
town of Darende, in Eastern Asia
Minor, bit 16 men, four women,
four buffaloes and carried off a
child before it was finally shot.
After attacking the buffaloes
on the outskirts Of the town, it
entered a house and carried off a
sleeping child.
Alarmed by the child's cries, its
parents and a number of neigh
bors chased the wolf and even
tually rescued the infant, but not
before several of them had been
bitten.
Firemen and police then joined
in the chase, and after this had
continued for some miles across
country the pursuers managed to
get close enough to the wolf for
one of the policemen to shoot it.

But he had forgotten that his
revolver, ready cooked, was still in

a faint cry, collapsed in her hus-
bands arms, and was dead within

Few fair-minded persons ever

| Few fair-minded persons ever
questioned the justice of Haupt-
mann's conviction. The evidence
against him was overwhelming
and the testimony on his behalf of
the flimsiest character. The fair
ness of his trial was affirmed by
the highest court of New Jersey
and reaffirmed by the Supreme
Court of the United States; the
State Board of Pardons refused to
intervene on his behalf. People may
honestly differ as to whether the
death penalty is ever justified, but
it is difficult to imagine an honest
difference Of intelligent opinion on
the question Of Hauptmann's guilt.
Why, then, did the Governor of
New Jersey interfere in SO many
ways which kept Hauptmann from
paying the consequences of his
crime? One of the most often
heard answers put forward is that
Governor Hoffman was actuated
by political motives, arising from
factional quarrels in his own state.
The close relation between crime
and politics has long been ma
tional scandal. Crime can never
be stamped out or controlled so
long as politics and politicians have
to do with the admins
tration of justice.

"CAN YOU SPARE IT?"

The latest parrot story tells Of
this particular parrot that had
spent most of its life in the palatial
home of millionaire. On one un-
fortunate day this parrot was SOLD
to miser.
The miser took the bird to his
dingy furnished room. The bird
paraded around the shabby room in
complete disgust. This was the
most depressing spot he had ever
visited. There was an old bed in
a corner, a broken chair, and a loaf
of stale bread on table-and tina,
was all.
Finally, the miser walked over to
the parrot. He tried to be sociable.
'Polly wanna cracker?" he be-
gan.
The parrot shrugged haughtily.
''Can you spare it," he sneered.

among those ideals l would list the
ideal Of personal liberty of thought,

see signs all around that sug-
gest that great groups of Americans
no longer cherish those liberties,
and that other groups are definitely
bent on destroying them.
There is more to patriotism than
being ready to go to war. 1t seems
to me that any man who does not
do whatever lies in his power, to
challenge any attempt, either from
within or without his country's
boundaries, to curtail any of his or
other peoples legitimate liberties, is
not much of a patriot.
Unless we stand up for our liber-
ties, and refuse to surrender them,
it won't be long before We have no
liberty left worth fighting for.
VALUES change
The most striking change in the
thinking of Americans in recent
years has been the shifting of
standards of value. The emphasis
is more upon material values, less
upon real values.
Real values are not measurable
in dollars. "What shall it profit a
man if he gain the whole world and
lose his own soul?" 1t is utter non
sense to talk of liberty as if it had
only such value as can be compen-
sated for in money. 1t is worse than
nonsense, it is stupid, almost crimi-
nal folly, to teach the young that
success consists in making money.
The secret of success lies in learn
ing how to live with ones self.
l meet many young folks who
seem, by their words and acts, to
have been taught that the world
owes them living. They think
that happiness comes only from the
possession and use of the thing.

EVERYBODY PAYS TAXES

How many folks know how
much they contribute toward the
cost Of government? 1t is a safe
bet that few if any, can give the
right answer. But it is certain tha,
everybody does pay taxes, directly
or indirectly.
If every commodity purchased,
and every bill received for any
thing, could bear on its face note
stating the amount of the total
charge representing taxes, paid at
one point or another in the process
of production and distribution, it
would not take long for the general
run of people, who imagine that
taxes are paid only by the rich, to
realize that they are carrying tax
burden even heavier in proportion
to their means.
Taxes have direct bearing or
wages. The income Of every en-
ployee depends basically on the
earning power of the business that
employs him, and on the ability OF
the employer to pay adequate real
wages. "Real' wages are not meas
urable in dollars, but in the COM
modities which the current dollar
will buy. When the prices of food
clothing, rent and the other neces-
sites of life g up by reason of in
creased taxes, the effect is a reduc-
ton in the real wages of workers
The wage-earner pays taxes not
alone in the prices Of the things he
buys, but in the reduced power OF
his employer to pay him higher
wages.
One of the big motor car COM
panies reports that its taxes last
year were Fl per cent of its pay
roll. A large railroad system
figures that this years taxes will
come to y percent of its payroll
Of course, somebody has to pay fo,
the cost of government, local
county, state and national, bu
whether it is necessary to pay sucl
high price for government is liv
question which more and more peo
pie are asking.
The realization that taxes com
out Of everybody's pockets, in high
er prices and lower wages, is spread
ing. When every man comes to
full understanding that neither h
nor anybody else escapes taxation
he is going to begin to find ou
just where the tax money goes, VIII
spends it and for what.
That's going to be embarrassin
to politicians everywhere.

On the same day l read of Mrs.
Roosevelt christening our Navy's
newest and biggest aircraft carrier,
the Yorktown. / reflected, with
some satisfaction, that the ultra
pacifists who would stop all efforts
to defend our country against a
foreign foe have not yet killed the
martial spirit of America.
I don't think we are likely to be
attacked or invaded by any foreign
nation. But 1 am sure that, the
world being what it is, we would
be inviting attack if we did not
keep ourselves prepared to resist it.
I do not think we are ever likely
to engage in war of aggression,
but I can easily imagine situation
developing such as developed twen-
ty years ago, in which this country
might again feel, as We did then, an
almost unanimous compulsion to go
to war to preserve our national
rights and liberties.

ing visible proof that the spirit Of
patriotism still lives.
l hope none of those boys is
ever called upon to kill an enemy.
l hope none of them is ever killed
in war. But l hope that if the oc-
casion ever comes again when the
people of America have to resort to
the crude implements of bloodshed
to reaffirm their devotion to the
greatest of all spiritual concepts,
the concept of ordered liberty for
every human being, these boys will
feel, as the men of America have
felt from the beginnings of our
nation, that life without liberty is
unendurable, death preferable to

Opposition policies, which in the
normal political course of things
would have developed in debates in
the two Houses of Congress.
1t is pointed out that too many
of the Republicans of both Houses,
of long service, have contented
themselves with destructive criti-
cisms and vitriolic abuse. Senator
Vendenberg, however, has lately
been making what Republicans re-
gard as constructive political issues.
Senator Vandenberg's latest
move, which is regarded as probably
furnishing good campaign material
for the Republicans, was his reso-
luton calling on the Secretary of
Agriculture for a complete report
of all sums over $4,000 paid to
agricultural interests under the
AAA.
Secretary Wallace demurred at
first, on the plea that he could not
divert his clerical force to the COM
pilation of the figures desired, but
later, with quite good grace, an
nounced that he would furnish the
figures as soon as possible, and in
the meantime gave the facts about
some of the very large payments.

THOSE A.A.A. PAYMENTS

THOSE A.A.A. PAYMENTS
One Florida sugar corporation
got more than one million dollars
in AAA checks; a large cotton
plantation operator got $123,747 in
one year and a large corporation
engaged in hog farming received
$4,000. A Puerto Rican sugar
producing company got $96l,o64
and a Hawaiian sugar concern has
a credit of $1,o22,o37.
Accompanying these frank dis
closures, Secretary Wallace pointed
out that it would have been impos-
sible to inaugurate measures to aid
the small producers if the large
scale farming operators had not
been included under the AAA.
Nevertheless, the Republicans are
saying that the effect of these dis
closures upon the small farmer
whose checks ran to only a few
hundred dollars will be politically
