OFFICIALS LATE

Hitler's anger resulted from the
hardness of Nazi officials in reach
ing the Munich station. They
were to have been drawn up in an
impressive phalanx first to greet
him and then II Duce.
But, by an apparent misunder-
standing which resulted in a
strange contretemps, Der Fuehrer
arrived Is minutes ahead of time
to find himself a lonely figure
standing in solitary and almost
unguarded majesty on huge red
carpet.
The officials, meanwhile, were
inside the station platform. When
Hitler found them, he subjected
the leaders to a tongue-laShing
but he accepted explanations and
by the time MusSolini's train
roared in had composed himself
for the welcome.
Followed parades, receipts,
wreath-layings, stiff-armed Salutes
and the deafening thunder of can
non, to say nothing of inceSsant
cheering from the Threats of
countless thousands of carefully
scrutinized spectators.

Three hundred chocolate cellars

About 1,40O supposedly dangerous
cellars were sold before the poison

WARNING GIVEN
DR.. George C. Rutland, health
director, warned that the egg fill
ing in certain pastry requires "the
most Scrupulous sanitary hand
ling" He added:
There cannot be single slip
in the observance of cleanliness
of the utensils used, the person
preparing it or in the refrigera-
ton of the product itself. More
outbreaks will occur unless the
pastry industry understands that
these acute food poiSonings are
usually caused by bacteria which
are virtually inoculated into the
pastry filling through unclean
methods and unclean utensils"

Newspaper Honesty

MANY factors enter into the max
ing of newspaper, whether it be
large or small, and the excellence
of the finished product naturally
depends to large extent upon the
opportunities which its field offers
to the editor and publisher.
But there IS one fundamental
quality which is important to every
newspaper. regardless of its size,
and that is honesty of expression.
Commenting on this point some time
ago. the Montgomery (Ala) Adj
vertiSer said:
What counts in judging the
character of newspaper Is whether
it reasons with intellectual honesty
in arriving at its conclusions, or
makes an appeal to prejudices and
emotions in order to influence the
reading public to accept its opinions
I'VE may add that every editor
frequently faces the necessity of
making a decision on this very point.
1t is easier to tell the reader what
he wants to hear, to take the popu-
lar side, to run with the pack. But
it takes courage sometimes to ex-
press an opinion, however sound, in
opposition to the prevailing senti-
ment.
But in such a case. no editor
worthy of his responsible calling
ever hesitates, He gives his honest
opinions, regardless of who agrees
or disagrees with them. "
Thus speaks the Toccoa, Georgia
Record The editorial might well
have been addressed to many poll
ticians who do not seem to have the
high ideals of the average neWspa-
per editor.

A great fad these days is the
taking of polls. And the public is
being tested on nearly every ques-
ton under the sun. One such poll
was this, Would you vote for a
woman for president of the United
States if she qualified in every
respect?"
Even though it may arouse the ire
of many of our women readers, we
are going to state we would vote
mo" to that question And we will
also say we consider it a rather sill
1y question, for this reason. One
who is opposed is forced to vote
No because Of the conviction that
a woman just cannot qualify in
every other respect" With mighty
few exceptions. any woman placed
in the White House would be COM
pletely overcome by the magnitude
of her responsibilities and duties.
An example in point-consider the
record being made by Madame Per-
kins as secretary of the department
Of labor Not very flattering, to
say the least.
There is strange hallucination
in the world today 1t maintains
that men and women are equal in
all and every respect. We are not
saying that women are inferior to
men, But the two sexes are created
for different purposes, with abili-
ties in different directions. We do
not believe womankind is created to
fill great executive positions, posi-

Vigilantes Should Not Be
Permitted

A recent survey by the Institute
of Public Opinion gives an 8 to 2
vote against vigilantes taking the
law into their own hands. Evil
IDENTIFY majority of the people are
opposed to groups of citizens acting
to correct what appears to be social
wrongs.
Sometimes one becomes lncensed
to a point of complete evaporation
over wrongs and conditions that are
allowed to continue. When of
ficials prove weak, Indifferent or
downright crooked in law enforce
ment, one would sometimes like to
organize groups of fearless citizens
and move directly and with over
towering force against corruption
and injustice. But to do SO is
dangerous practice. II irresponsible
groups are permitted to infhct pun
ishment on others for acts they dc
not like, the safety, even the lives
of citizens become dependent or
the whims of such groups. There
would be security for no one.
That this is true is easily proven
by experience. Now and then
secret groups organize and start
out to correct wrongs and do away
with injustice. It isn't long unit
they are numbering people and car
rying on campaigns of terror anc
horror. Eventually the law steps
in and breaks up such organizations
sometimes executing some of the
leaders or sending them to prison
for life. To be safe. government
must be by law and not by secre
groups.
There should be no place il
America for groups of vigilantes.

Fingerprints From Libby
In Federal File
BY Paul May


WASHINGTON, D. c., August 8.
Seven criminal fingerprints from
Libby went into the permanent files
of the federal bureau of investiga-
ton during the fiscal year 1887,
which ended June 80, ]. Edgar
Hoover, chief of the bureau, report
ed today.
This was a slight increase over
the fiscal year 1925, when five Lib
by fingerprints were added to the
FBI file.
The number of prints filed do not
represent the total submitted, it was
explained at Mr.. Hoover's office,
but only those accepted for the per-
manent file. None of the prints
reported as filed during the year
had been previously IN the FBI
records.
Of these possible sources, most of
the prints from Libby came from
the police department of the city,
officials said.
Exactly how many. were police
prints was not reported, as the bu-
reau groups together prints received
from police, from federal agents
located in town, and from the
county sheriff's office. when there
is one in a town.
BY referring to fingerprint as
criminal" it was said at FB1 head
quarters. it is meant the print be-
longs to some person picked up
by law enforcement officers ON some
charge for which local law pre-
scribes fingerprinting. Some towns
fingerprint for misdemeanors, 1t was
pointed out, while others do not. In
addition to the seven criminal fin
gerprints received from Libby, the
! bureau also got some voluntary
submissions of fingerprints from
law abiding citizens in Libby, who
believe in civilian fingerprinting
for indentification purposes. Such
fingerprints are kept in file sep
arate from the criminal records,
and officials could not say just how
many voluntary fingerprint submis-
sions were received from Libby
during the year The FBI now has
about 100000 fingerprints in its file
of voluntary submissions, 1t was
said. In the criminal fingerprint
file counting the seven Libby prints
and others submitted during 1887
are now more than seven million
sets of fingerprints-7, 052, 900, to DC
exact.
