SELF-CRITICISM FOR INDUSTRY
(The Wall Street JOurnaD


To the complaint of private enterprises against
what they regard as excessive governmental
interference the best reply of the regulators has
been and still is that if business does not put
its own house in order, it must expect public
authority to do the job Opinions differ of
course, to the degree of disorder calling for
somebody's corrective efforts. Nevertheless, the
rule holds that reform from within the house
OF industry is better than calling a heavy-handed
policeman away from his traffic post to settle
a family quarrel
Now the directors of the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers have accepted the chal-
lenge of politicians and sociologists that busi-
ness had better sweep its own doorstep else
-. They have approved report of the
associations committee on industrial practices
govern the conduct of its members toward COM
petitors, customers suppliers, employees, creditors
and stockholders. Probably govern" is not
quite the word, since the report confines itself
to laying down principles in general terms
susceptible of varying interpretations. But, as
far as 1t has gone, the committee has done an
excellent piece of work
When the association submits this report to
the Congress of American Industry early next
month the code it outlines will call for implement
tation with more specific rules and procedures
The important thing, however is that this
powerful trade organization calls upon its men,
bers TO reeXamne their present and control
their future practices in the light of formulated
ethical principles 1t recognizes that those
practices, like all human performance, can be

Bruce Cation Says:
-- New York Voters Put Democracy to Work

by selfish interests can't logically
be expected to refrain from serv-
ing those interest after he is
elected.
The old slip-shod care-free sort
of politics that seemed to work
all right in boom times stood re-
vealed as an unbearably expensive
luxury in bad times. 1t became OBJ
vious that the ordinary mans Ii
berties need defending, and that
the ordinary man can defend
them only by using his ballot
wisely.
SO politics is existing in an en-
tirely different atmosphere now
than was the case a decade ago.
Once again, people are willing to
take the trouble to make demo-
eracy work That is the encourag-
ing thing about the New York
election.

Cross Currents
OF Industry

The American housewife, mistress of
the nations buying, today finds herself
IN an embarrassing predicament.
It's the same predicament that tan
tallzes the harassed politician, turns the
heads of economists gray, and makes the
wage-earner wonder why his paycheck
disappears like butter under the sun.
Even one of the countrys shrewdest
analysts, John T. Flynn, admits that the
cross-currents OF wages and prices,
crashing against the beleaguered house
wife at market and her husband at work,
creates topsy-turvy picture today.
Every good housewife wants to get
good wage, but she doesn't want it COB
bled out of her purse at the market
place. At present both things are hap
pening. Wages are advancing but gal
Looping several strides ahead are the
prices.
The politicians, possibly trying to un-
ravel this tangled skein, have helped
complicate the works with price-fixing
regulations. Whatever its value in theo-
ry, in practice-where it hurts mosti-
all the regulation has been UP and not
down. One big merchandising concern
is now in court for refusing to make as
big profit as a price-fiXing law orders
it to-
W mere uealef was once SATISFIED TO
sell an article for 53c, a price-rigging
law now enables the manufacturer to
compel that dealer to sell the same ar
ticle at 79c.
Out of the confused currents of lag
ging wages and rising costs, this much
plainly emerges: price-fixing to enforce
higher prices eventually reduces pur-
chasing When less is purchased, less
is produced, industries slow up, and job
less men again haunt the streets of
America. We have had our era of search

Famous Sayings =

The changes have been rung
often enough on the fact that
Tammany Hall, for the first time
in history. has taken two lickings
in a row. What needs to be ex-
amined now is the background
for the phenomenon.
For it is not enough merely to
say tnat Mayor LaGuardia is a
sensational campaigner gifted with
a mare than ordinary large
amount of political 1T" Nor is it
enough to bring up the fact that
his candidacy bore the unofficial
blessing of President Roosevelt. or
to add that the people of New
York had grown tired of Tam
many's perennial misrule.
These things don't explain it.
Tammany misrule is an old story.
National administrations before
now have smiled benignly on re-
form mayors only to see them go
down to defeat. Reform mayors
before now have been good cam
paigners without profiting by it.
The explanation must lie deeper.
The very atmosphere of politics
paems to have changed. A new
spirit is abroad in the land. The
people are desperately anxious to
have governments that are in tune
with the needs and aspirations Of
ordinary folk, and they are sick
Of governments that represent in
visible selfish interests.
How did this come about? Pro-
badly you would not be very far
wrong if you ascribed it chiefly to
the fact that the great depression
was one of the most potent edu-
cational influences in American
history.
Before the depression New York
had mayors like Hylan and Wal
ker-and liked them very we'll. The
better element, of course, made
the usual protests, but nobody lis
tened. Like every other American
city, the mass of people in New
York got just the sort of city gov
ernment they deserved.
Things were booming, politicians
were expected to be a shady lot,
and there was general impress

stopped worrying about things his

Life of Lincoln
Program Subject
For Assembly


Third in the series of national
assembly programs was the play
presented at a joint assembly OF
high school and junior college STU
dents. held Monday afternoon, by
the Lincoln Players. The players
showed scenes from important
events during Abraham Lincoln's
life. The group is nationally known
having appeared all over the coun-
try on the stage and also in motion
pictures. George Russell, who plays
Lincoln in the sketches, was recent
ly seen in the same part ID the
picture 1.-THE Plainsman'.
The first scene showed Mr.. and
Mrs. Lincoln shortly before they
left for Washington for his first in
auguration even then the Presl-
dent-elect anticipating war. The
second scene was in an army camp
where General Grant was congra-
tulating Captain Robert Lincoln
the Presidents SON, on his success
in the army. The famous incident
of Lincolns granting of freedom
to the young soldier about to be
court-martialed for desertion was
Denoted in a highly dramatic way
The last scene was Grants eulogy
for Lincoln shortly after the death
of the great emancipator'.
These sketches illustrated LIN
coins character and the beliefs ano
philosophy which led him to un-
derstand SO well the problems OF

EVERY WOMAN
FACES THIS QUESTION

How do I look to other people?
So many women risk their beauty
by neglect of constipation. 1t. often
causes loss of pep, sallow skins, dull
eyes, poor compilations.
Yet common constipation can be
ended so easily. Just eat two table
spoonfuls of Kellogg's ALL-BRAN
with milk or fruits every day, three
times daily in severe cases. This
delicious ready-to-eat cereal sup
plies the "bulk" needed to exercise
the system-and vitamin B to help
tone up the intestinal tract.
Within the body, ALL-BRAN alb
serbs more than twice its weight in
water, gently sponging out the in
testines. 1t never causes the arti-
iicial action of pills and drugs, that
often prove ineffective.
Kellogg's ALL-BRAN, you see, is
n food-not medicine. 1t relieves
common constipation the way Ma
ture intended = SO it's results are
safe. Buy it at your grocer's. Made
aud guaranteed by Kellogg in
Battle Greek.
