D. GRAIN OF WHEAT
AMONG THE CHhFF

Nine-tenths of recent loud-voiced com
plants against New Deal propaganda
written by federal employees can be dis
missed as partisan outpouring in the
face Of forthcoming elections. The other
one-tenth deserves studious considera-
ton by the voter who wants 10 arrive
at his own conclusions uninfluenced by
skllfully worded propaganda in the guise
of news
It would not be fair to discount New
Deal propaganda without at the same
time discounting anti-New Deal propa-
ganda. Among the New Deal propaganda
gems are the letters written TO congress
men attempting To Influence them in
favor of the Presidents pump printing
program. Among the anti New Deal
blurbs, we suspect, is gross exaggeration
of the number and Importance of these
letters.
Every newspaperman who opens his
mail knows that there is a certain amount
of subsidized propaganda issued every
day from such governmental offices as
those of the Works Progress Admins
tration, the Public Works AdminiStra-
ton, the Rural Electrification and 9TH
ers. In some cases the publicity in favor
of something that particular office, or
the administration, wants to put over Is
so thinly coated with sugaring of news
value that the veriest tyro could not help
recognizing the intention of the article.
We are inclined to believe that il is the
right of any office, governmental or
otherwise, to try to sell the public on the
merits of anything that office thinks is
good To that extent, we find it easy to
excuse the hundreds of tons of publicity
material the New Deal sends out daily.
There is, on the other hand. a definite
danger point, and when that point IS
reached, we can no longer excuse the
working of a high priced propaganda
machine.
The danger point comes when de
partnlent fundamentally intended to do
one thing is turned into an agency whose
primary reason for existence Is to intlu-
ence the public and its representatives IN
favor of program planned by another
department or agency.
Publicity distribution should be sec
ondary, not primary, in any federal de
partment-if it is to exist at all. And,
if it is to exist. il should be restricted to
presenting facts as they are-and quot
ing the source of opinions.

SPORTSMEN
WANT RESULTS
lOroyllle Mereury-Register)


The State of California once more has
a complete fish alfa game commission to
administer the almost 2-milion-dolar
industry which supplies fish and game
for our streams and fields and protects
them.
The five men, three of whom were ap-
pointed within the week, have a difficult
task and one that will call for complete
devotion to the public welfare
To get an idea of the magnitude of
their Job. note that in California 10000
deer and 10000 pheasants are killed
in one season. Obviously, the state must
guard the propagating stock much as a
businessman watches his inventory.
Yet the state has ample resources with
which to do its work, for each sportsman
pays in annually 81 for the fishing priv
ileges and 81 for the hunting privileges.
these fees going to make up the one and
three-quarter millions of dollars amass-
ed last year to be expended by the fish
and game commission. Certainly much
can be done with that huge sum.
Also. the state has good examples that
il can emulate in the restocking of field
and stream. The state of Pennsylvania
has far outstripped us and methods there
can we'll be studied.
We trust that the new commission will
pay scant attention 10 the recent state
ment of its executive officer that we can
not produce sufficient fish in our streams
because there is insufficient food for
them. The reluctance with which a fish
bites, the ample supply of food in its
stomach plus their excellent condition
generally argue against that theory The
thousands of hard-heads in the lower
stretches of our rivers indicate that there
is plenty of food, and plenty of fish, too,
if they are the type no one cares to catch
We must not tolerate any alibi. We
want results. Those who must resort to
alibis should give way to others with
constructive ideas who don't know the
word defeat.
They must give way to men not too
proud to study and emulate the methods
of more successful states
All sportsmen will watch with inter
est the policies of the new fish and game
commission.

GAMBLING MOTHERS
AND GAMES OF CHANCE

In New \ ork this week pollce faloeQ d
"Bingo" gambling establishment be-
cause several husbands complained that
their wives practically We're inhabitants
of the place, spending the family check
there and LEAVING the husbands home
to take care of the children.
You may think whatever you will OF
the husbands who had TO complain to
public because they were left at home
while their wives went out gambling, but
the prime factor still remains. Many so
called games of skill, such as are TO be
found at beach amusement centers and
in other similar places, are as vicious
gambling rackets as roulette-and leave
lust about as much chance TO win.
The woman, or the man either, who
patronizes such places can expect TO
lose. A belief that she or he may win
is the most juvenile thing imaginable.
1t is like all gambling games. You can't
win

II must be wonderful to be able
to write books that will benefit

The other day l attended a Hol-

the author and said Il have just
finished rcadin' a book that you
wrote before you were married,
and you made love sound so beau

Joe had made a lot of mistakes,
but he had done one wise thlng:
he had married. 1t was against
the wishes of the girls father'
naturally. stern old day-laborer.
And so it was a runaway match.
Two weeks after the crash, Joe
went round 10 see all his creditors
and told them he would pay every
cent he owed if they would give him
time. There was nothing for them
to do but agree.
Joe raised some money by selling
his Wife's engagement ring and his
own wrist watch. lie rented a
little house, bought apparatus Tor
cooking frankfurters, a popcorn
machine, a peanut roaster and an
ice-cooler for soft drinks, all Sec
ond-hand. Then in the open air
beneath an elm tree in front of the
little house, he made his bid for
customers.
He began to prosper in a mild
way from the trade OF toWnspeople
and passing motorists. His wife
who had cooked for her father
after her mothers death made
sandwiches and ice cream.
It wasn't long before Joe was
selling more Of his Wife's ice cream
than anything else. So he aDan-
doned the frankfurters and pea
nuts, and substituted home cooked
cakes and pastries. He bought am
electric ice cream freezing machine
on the instalment plan Outside
the wide window Of his place of
business he put up Neon light sign:
Nancy Mays Homemade Ice
Cream
The demand for Nancy Mays ice
cream scared. Joe sold it in large
containers to festivals and fairs and
20 retailers in surrounding towns.
After a year. Joe obtained a trade
registration for the name of his
Wife's product. Then ne got a
partner-a shrewd business man
With capital They Incorporated

his way to competence, maybe a
fortune.
There are other Joes in the world
who could take a leaf from this
Joe's book.
It's very important, boys. whom

Good Ideas Flop
The Fight Goes Or
FRIDAY, APRIL 80, 1898

WASHINGTON. - Pre- s d c n
Roosevelt tried to foreStal the
Democratic row in Pennsylvania by
getting party leaders to agree On
his friend William c. Bullitt, am
bassador to France, for governor,
And each new outburst Of scan
dial in the historic Pennsylvania
primary fight indicates what a
bright idea that WaS-or would have
been. if it could have been made
to stick. But Matt McCloskey,
Philadelphia political boss and con-
tractor, broke up the play by in
sisting that the state machine en-
dorse Charles Alvin Jones of Pitts
burgh.
Al least that's the story told by
Senator Joe Guffey, which no one
seems to deny. Guffey, who was
supposed to be undisputed boss of
Pennsylvania himself until other
leaders ignored him by choosing 10
back Jones. is supporting a ticket
led by Lieut. Gov. Tom Kennedy
C. I. 0. eandidate-for governor
and Mayor S. Davis Wilson of Phil
adelphia for senator. On the Jones
ticket, running for senator, is Gov.
George H Earle.
The story of how Boss McCloS-
keys wishes oVercame the agree
ment on Bullitt-at least as far
as Earle and State Chairman Dave
Lawrence were concerned-is eSpe-
cially interesting now that Earle,
who bosses the PWA program in
Pennsylvania, is revealed TO have
borrowed $4,000 from. McCloSky
who has received millions of dollars
i'm building contracts.
Guffey's story also is interesting
because it indirates that Roosevelt
in seeking to help compromise the
situation, did not support Kennedy
despite open endorsement of Ken
nedy by John l.. Lewis, and did
net on the other hand support
Jones, as has been rumored.
Guffey says he went to the White
House with Earle Lawrence and
Publisher j. David Stern Of the
PnlIdQelIJllld lbtCOIu, JlldO bilC ITO
ident urged Guffey to stay in the
Senate instead of running for gov
ernor, and that all four came away
agreeing to recommend Bullitt for
the state committees endorsement.
Another curious behind-th scenes
angle is found in Guffey's assertion
that McCloskey's original candidate
was State Supreme Court Chief
Justice John w. Kephart, a Re
publican. McCloSkey used to be a
Republican himself And there's a
growing administration fear in
Washington that by blocking BullitL
and precipitating the current ven
delta McCloskey has almost as
sured election next November Of
clifford Pinchot, who seems the
leading Republican gubernatorial
contender. and Of Republican Sen
ator James j. Davis.
There's also the possibility that
Guffey gives McCloskey too much
credit For John Lewis, regardless
of Rooseyelts wishes, might we'll
have insisted on running his man
Kennedy against Bullitt in the pri-
maries.

WHY SUCH FEAR'
bakersfield Californian

It is revealed by j. Edgar Hoover of
the Federal Bureau of Investigation that
three persons have been jailed in con-
nection with a plot to sell United States
military secrets to foreign countries and
that other arrests are expected to fol-
low. Singularly enough, two of the three
are aliens. Cne a woman, has Just come
to this country. and the other, here for
d longer time, is still citizen of Ger
many Now, can anybody explain why
we do not enforce our immigration laws
and protect our country from espionage?
Is there any sound reason in face of the
restrictions the statutes impose, why
these people should be permitted to come
and 90 without let or hindrance?
The failure TO protect our labor, our
industries and even our national defense
against aliens illegally here is national
scandal. There appears to be no desire
on the part of those in authority to cure
what is amiss, or if there is desire there
is not courage. What is there to awaken
that fear as is manifested, for instance
in the labor department, which might
well rid the country Of thousands of
aliens and make place in industry for
thousands Of Americans? Nobody will
pretend to give an answer. 1t is a shame
ful situation Just the same.

II is not without significance
that the editor of a big London
newspaper the other day chose
fol his front page streamer the
headline, mo Bad News Today
As the New York Times promptly
remarked, there are few enough
days on which even the most op-
timistic editor can use such a head
line. We are SO used to bad news
that the mere absence of 1t is news
in itself If % hours pass without
news signs Of catastrophe, we can
actually cheer about it.
Yet it may not be wholly fatu-
Gus to suggest that things are not
quite as bad as they seem. 1t may
be that we have simply got our
ewes open wider than we used to
have them-that be can recognize
bad news for what it is, now, and
that we have stopped kidding our
selves.

state-was it really so much bet
ter than the present, or were we
simply binder?
The world was not entirely
peaceful, before 1914. There was
a remarkably bloody and vicious
war in the Balkans, for instance
and the lads who ran it did not
need any instructions from 1888 IN
the matter of making unoffendlng
civilians suffer. Italy was fighting
in Africa then, too-picking on the
Turk, then, instead of the Ethio
pian-and China was being cyni-
cally despoiled by the militarists,
the principal difference from to-
days program being that half a
