1ammany is
Dead AGAIN

As this is written, Tammany Hall,
headquarters for New Yorks perennial
political organization, seems destined
to become funeral parlor for lost poll
teal hopes. Mayor F. H. LaGuardia,
who routed Tammany in the last cleo
tion, was almost certain to win again
over the New Deal-Tammany candidate,
j. T. Mahoney, and thereby become the
first antITammany mayor in New
York's history to be elected second
time.
1t seems safe to comment that the
outcome of the election will demonstrate
quite thoroughly that the public is be-
coming better acquainted all the time
with its governmental affairs, and is
more interested these days in good busi-
ness government than in politics. Tam
many is admittedly purely political
organization, and LaGuardias admin
istration, even his enemies admit, has
placed New York government for once
on a business basis. Other politicians
might learn much from this example.

Bruce Carton Says:
- Scrubs Make Heroes But Get No Glory

We Americans have the success
bug, and We pour out admiration
on the man who can lead the field.
This is a pretty good trait ,as it
creates an atmosphere which pro-
duces successful leaders; but we
might we'll spend little time pay
ing tribute to the great army of
second sringers who make the sue
cess of the leaders possible.
A pointer comes from-of all
places-the football field of Yale
university.
When this season ends, some
time in November, the inglorious
members of Yale's scrub" team
are to be formally banqueted; and
then one of them will be given a
big silver football about the size
of a pumpkin, to honor him, his
teammates, and the whole mute
line of scrubs who have gone un-
honored and unsung through many
football generations.
The scrub leads a tough life. He
has to get out on the field four or
five days a week all through the
season and take his bumps while
the varsity polishes up its play. He
never has the slightest hope of
actually playing in a regularly
scheduled game. His classmates
never honor him with their cheers.
He gets all the grief and none of
the glory But because of him the
first team is able to win games. If
there were no sScrubS, the varsity
would be in a Sorry state. Behind
every great gridiron victory there
stands battstod scrub team, which
rates a good Share of the glory but
never gets it.
Al; right: that's part of the
game, and the scrubs love the
game or they wouldn't be playing
it. But the 4octball field isn't the
only place youth find scrubs. The
world is full of them, Most of us
are scrubs; part of the great army
of second stringers who contribute
what We can of victories for which
we can never get either fame or
fortune.
John Jones may become famous
as president of a transcontinental
railway. But he himself would be
the first to admit that he doesn't
run the railroad single-handed
Under him there are innumerable
section hands, firemen, train dis
patcherS, master mechanics, shop
foremen and SO on. If they didn't
do their part John Jones wouldn't
be famous railroad president
Bill Smith may be a steamship
captain, acclaimed for the heroism
of his rescues in mid-ocean storms
He didn't make those reScues un-
aided. He had stout guys down in
the engine room with sweat rags

News Behind the News
- Jimmy RooseveIt's Job

WASHINGTON-If one comedies the propriety
of Jimmy Rooseyet's position on the federal pay
roll as one of his fathers secretaries. the shifting
over his new assignment "eoordinator' or
clearing house" between the President and the
independent federal agncies is bound to seem
superfluous Ta.
It's a Job that needs doing It might have
been given to someone other than Jimmy. On
the other hand, the Presidents son is a person
peculiarly fitted to try to handle it.
Big problems and little problems are poured
in on the White House The big ones are more
than enough to keep the elder Roosevelt busy.
Cabinet members sometimes use discretion as
between big and little ones at cabinet meet
ings and sometimes not. Anyway. the President
hasn't been able to see all the heads of nearly
a score administrations, commissions and boards
to discuss both their big and little problems.
That's been a hit-or-miss, catch catch
can affair which has led to much pickering on
the line of That fellow gets in and We don't
and THE President doesn't understand our prob
lems" The idea is to regularize the situation,
with Jimmy reserving a half hour week for
each agency and serving both as funnel into
the inner office and a conveyor of orders

will be mostly minor Governor Eccels of Fed

Bill Douglas of SEC and other big shots will not
be taking vital national policies to Jimmy.
The extent and nature of JimmyS abilities
have yet to be proved, although they surely
match any other White House secretarys. But
the father-Son relationship is SO close that

undermine Jimmy and no one will try to disre-
gard or upset the arrangement without due
thought. If it were any other man, that would
be a miracle At the same time, if Jimmy makes
messes of things the word is to get around
1t seemed rather odd that his new work should
be announced with such ballyhoo.

partly because his father was lonely after his
bodyguard and comrade, Gus Gennerich, follow

HOPE FOR THE FUTURE
(By William Allen White)

The way ahead for our highly complex mod
ern civilization is dark. 1t is easy to show that
We have no hope of increasing the production of
the farm 1t is easy to show that we cannot dis
tribute equitaby the products of the factory.
With Europe slowly going fascist and embrac-
ing the tyrannies of communism, the outlook
is gloomy for democracy. And yet there is
man. little old man with something above his
collar button that the animals never have bred.
And he has one new tool, one shining magic
wand that he can wave over any situation, how
ever black it looks, and bring a genie out to
break his chains. That gadget is the labora-
tory. Out of the laboratory have come the
changes in the last so years that have remade
our civilization. Vinegar has been made from
coke and limestone. Automobile parts have
been made from the soy beam Glass is used
for bolts, blackboards and wallpaper and is
even spun into thread and woven into cloth.
In the laboratory lies the future In the
laboratory, hidden in the strange germs of ideas,
in curious discoveries unrelated to any
thing else lies unborn the ideas which shall
release man from his travail and bring him
Surcease from his sorrows
All that man has to do is to put some idea
of justice into the distribution of the products
of the laboratory, to pass them around with
something like an equitable sharing giving the
deserving who are industrious, ingenious kindly
and wise their larger share but giving every
one according to his needs as a basis for dis
tribution. But still and always over and above
that reward we must guarantee to those high
talents rewards according to their qualities This
can be done 1t is no impossible task The great
step forward man has made since Watt watched
the teakettle is the laboratory, the new weapon
of mans hope and his social salvation

Iron Fists
Celebrate

Birthday season for the iron fists of
Europe has come round On November
z, Russia officially celebrates the Goth
anniversary of the revolution which in
stalled the Bolsheviks in power. Italy
last week paid homage to the march on
Rome which 15 years ago lifted the
Blackshirt legions and their Duce into
supreme control of that country's des-
tiny. Both nations loudly extol the
great material progress they made in
industrialization and military power.
But their iron-fisted rulers forget to
answer when asked if it is necessary to
suppress personal and civil liberties,
regiment, labor and capital, and destroy
all opposition-at gunpoint, if neces-
sary Ito fulfill their imperial or in
dustrial aims Yet, at times, it must be
difficult being dictator. When he or
ders an enthusiastic anniversary cele-
bration to be held, how can he tell whe-
ther his people are earnestly cheering
from their hearts, or just making
noise to keep out of jail?

that there are days when his ice
