PRODUCING DEMAGoGUES

The Social Security act is an idealistic piece oil
legislation but is destined to produce political DEM
aoogues such as we have never had before In tins
country.
After it has been in effect for few years and
millions of dolare are set aside in Raleigh and
Washington for specific benefits to unemployed,
the aged the blind and the underpriveged chill
dren, there will rise up group OF office seekers
who will adopt such platforms as these:
"Elect me and / will reduce the old age limit
from 65 to So" Those within this age range are
spre 70 fall over themselves to support candidates
-on such promises If reduction Of ten years don
smell success for the political minded, he might re-
duce the age limit to so or under. Usually this
TYNE of politician don't consider the safety OF the
treasury; he considers only his selfish ambitions
"Elect me and | will amend the act so that ad-
vances might be made to benehclarles under the
social security before their time comes" That
would be another campaign promise OF dynamic
appeal great portion of the workers VINO are
compelled to surrender per cent OF their week
ly wage to be matched by another two per cent
from their employer, are skeptical about ever re-
,ceiving a cent in return. 1t is but natural that
they would listen attentively to political cahol
date promising them something before they reach
the required age or join the unemployed group
So future political battles will be decided on re-
movaI of barriers with odds in favor of the can
didate who makes the biggest promises to the IN
dividuals, who have been taught by precept and
example to expect and demand help from bench

DRUNKEN WHITE WOMEN PROBLEM

Policemen of Atlanta, Georgia, report the great
est single dsorderly element they contend with Is
drunken white women, so Mayor Hartsfeld OF that
city informs the press according to front-page
news story in the Atlanta Journal. The mayor took
occasion to emphasize the city's lack of quarters
for women offenders at the city detention farm.
Present facilities are not only crowded, but over
flowing.
Here is what the mayor said relative to women
and whisky: 1.-THE toughest and most disorderiy
element is drunken white women, which is lnereaS-
ing by leaps and bounds. Whisky does something
to a woman right quick. She can't take 1t. Our
police tell me that the situation is getting worse
and worse-that they are bringing in more women
'sots'-confrmed drunkards-many of whom De-
long to well known families and women VINO are
otherwise all right and of good character"
Such testimony from official source, and from
officers familiar with the subject, strengthen the
prevalent impression that whisky drinking by W0-
men is decidedly on the increase throughout inc
stateS.-Spartanburg Journal.

Suddenly he discovered that DR..

"Another charge that is openly made ana DIS

1.-THE above are the most common charges maue

1t could be that CASTOR and Mecklenourg are

These conditions, if allowed to go unchecked, are
liable to get out of hand and officials who wink at
the shortcomings or blind themselves to the goingS

also liable to find themselves out of job. The

shows and publications are re-
sponsible for many sex crimes
and sins. Daring dress, talk and
behavior help too.
1t is not known whether the
bawdy houses of the nation help
to finance the exhibition of sex
shows and the publication Of sex
stories, but thew could we'll al
ford to do so, for those things
help their business.
And just why u person who is
already having all he can do to
keep himself decent or tolcrably
so will pay out his good money
to see some show on to read some
yarn which will place additional
strain on his moral fiber is not
to be explained by common sense.
Of course the point | would
make is not that persons under
sixteen years should see lurid sex
shows and read lurid sex stories,
but that the reaction to such
things is liable to be more dan
gerous TO persons who are more
than SIXTEEN.
Most certainly the seeds of mi
guilty can be planted before the
age Of sixteen, but it is principal
ly after the age of sixteen that
the crop is cultivated and harvest
ed. If there were no cultivation
after sixteen there would be small
crop and little harvest.

NO ADMITTANCE OVER Is

The advertisement of Il luried
sex show announced that only
persons over sixteen years af age
would be admitted.
The immediate moral effect on
the community would have been
less harmful had admittance been
restricted to persons under SIX
teen years rather than over.
Persons under sixteen years of
age are not nearly so much sway
ed by sex suggestions and nsin-
uationS as persons of Older age
Persons under sixteen years of
age do not sense the full meaning
Of some things which are full of
meaning and temptation to older
persons. Person under sixteen
will giggle and laugh and pretend
to understand what they do not
comprehend because they think it
smart to appear worldly-wisC.
Persons under sixteen are not
only less sophisticated and less
experienced but less bold--hence
less dangerous. They may natur-
ally shrink from some things
which their elders may take as a

GROWING DICTATORS ARE AFRAID
TO BITE
(By BRUCE CATION

The look of things Ill Europe Is hioie
warlike and threatening, these days, imam
at anv time since the World war. Yet
betting man might very well feel inclined
to gamble that there won't really be an
other war, after all. The situation PROV
ably looks darker than it really is.
The most encouraging factor IS that
underneath their buster and big talk, the
statesmen of Europe are scared 10 aeath.
For one thing, the memory OF 1914 IS
too close. The jar that send the world siia-
ing into war in that year was actually much
less severe than some of the shocks Europe
has had lately; but while today's states
men may play with the word, War, he
knows from actual experience what the
word really means-Something which his
predecessors of % years ago did not know.
1t makes a world of difference.
The Europe of 1914 had not seen large
scale war for more than 40 years. There
had been time for romantic and unreal
idea about war to be built up. The horrl-
BILE calamity that war brings had grown
haZy and indistinct in mems minds. Europe
slid into war easily because no one really
knew what war was going to mean.
It's different now. The dictators may
fume and buster and strut, their massed
troops may be cheered to the echo by hys-
terical throughput down underneath all
of them know precisely what is involved.
Not while the World war generation are
still alive will any European nation go to
war as blithely and irresponsibly as the
nations went in 1914.
There is another thing-the specter OF
revolt, which has a way of materializing
out of the smoke and darkness of long
war. No dictator wants that specter raised
no dictator can forget that war is likely
to raise it. Kings and emperors lost their
crowns because of the World war; would
dictators be apt to fare any better in an
other world war? They would not-and
they know it.
And if that thought holds back the die
tatorshipS, it also holds back the democra-
cies. For democracy, like monarchy, show
ed a tendency to collapse during and after
the last war 1t might survive another such
strain and it might not. No democracy is
likely to take the risk if it can possibly
avoid it.
On the surface, these fears do not seem
to have much effect. The japanese are in
volved in war in China, and the Germans
Russians, and Italians are playing with fire
in Spain. The Mediterranean "anti-piracy"
naval program offers innumerable chances
for war-making accidents and collisions
.Warlike talk was never more common.
But down underneath there are these re-
straining influences-unseen but powerful
They explain why the momentouS events
of the last two or three years, which looked
so much like war, did not actually bring
war. And they give one reasonable grounds
for hoping that what is happening now
will not actually mean war either.
Europe simply cannot afford another
war. And Europe knows it.
