Brains in Middle Glasses.
Actually, the greatest amount Of
brains. intellectual and moral leader

for disinterested thinking are in the
middle classes Of this country. The
families with incomes OF from 81, 500
to $4,000 a year-including the more

Detest Dictatorship.
But they also like good Govern

detest dictatorship 4 great deal more
than the economic royalists do and
4 great deal more than the workers
do And they are drifting away from
the President, not because they diff

objectives, but because they differ
fundamentally concerning the means
that are being employed to attain
those objectives. Desirable As those

Humphrey Case Example.
They do not like personal Govern
ment, or must" legislation, or laws
drafted by an anonymous secretar-
lat or the suspension OF the deliber-
ative process in Congress, or sudden
spectacular moves of dubious motive
and consequence, such as the judi
ciary bill. Nor do they think that an
appeal to the self-interest of the
masses Is anonymous with altrusm.
They were willing to swallow
emergency measures in l933-34, but
they are not willing to put the Gov
ernment OF the United States on a
permanent footing of emergency.
Then they wanted action: now, they
are inclined to believe that what we
need is less action and more thought
Az to personal government: The
President demonstrated early in his
first administration that he conceives
Of the presidency in terms Of per-
sonal dictation. The most fragrant
example was the Humphrey case.
w. Z. Humphrey was member of
the Federal Trade Commission, ap-
pointed under law for 4 definite term
and removable during that term only
for 'ineficiency, neglect Of duty. or
malfeasance in of1ice." The stated
object OF the legislation which estab-
lished the commission was to create
body OF experts who should gain
experience by length of service be

Russian Cossack whips on his back.
The lad worked in a butcher shop,
ran errands and sold papers. He
hoped to be a newspaper man. En-
tering the New York Herald Building
