Mr.. Hamilton expressed agreement

United States Senator w. Warren Bar
bour, candidate for the Republican
senatorial nomination in New Jersey,
that "1940 is the deadline for Democ-
racy and must be won in the fall OF
1888"
Y think you are fighting the last
fight" said Mr.. Hamilton. Il don't
think you can survive defeat of
Republicans after 1898. don't worry
about the next Republican candidate
in 1910. I worry about whether you
will return those Congressman who
have courage to carry on the fight.
If you return these groups, we'll
carry on in 194o Without these men,
I don't see where you are going"

Incarnate America.

No single man--not even Abraham

The notion that the people of the United
States conform to a type and may be
recognized anywhere abroad at glance
is myth. All races, all countries, all
classes have been mixed in the New

sameness, but infinite variation.
Phrases like typical Southerner' and
Representative Westerner" are popular,
yet such terminology, when challenged,
does not bear analysis. Motion picture
actors selected to play Mississippi plant

hail from the Bronx or Brooklyn for any
one to be dogmatic about the geographic

Of history that human beings differ.

Participation in Cruelty
Not Confined to Spain
To the Editor OF The Star:

TO the Editor OF The Star:
James w. johnson, in The Star OF June
2, draws certain parallels between the
cruelties of the present civil war in
Spain and those of the Inquisition. Then
by inference and innuendo, calling at
tention to the Spaniards' traditional
pastimA the CORY sport of bull fighting.
he concludes these debasements of war to
be mere end products of the Spanish
human equation in which burning Of
heretics and bull fights are some of the
gruesome factors.
Another peek into the pages of his
history might reveal to Mr.. johnson
that the Anglo-S -Saxons under Queen Bess
and others also had quaint ways of
loosening the tongues Of their victims as
well as putting them to death for wor-
Shipping their God according to their
conscience. As for CORY sports, I seem
to remember something about a Marquis
Of Queensberry who perfected a gentle
sport which consisted in mauling an
other human into insensibility. Recent
disclosures concerning Harlan County.
KY, and the Herrin ull) strike riots of
more than a decade ago are also slightly
less than humane.
This is not written to condone the
cruelties, real or imaginary, of the Span
ish civil war, but merely to indicate the
futility Of attributing to any one race
or nationality more thap their share Of
vices, and that people who live in glass
houses should not throw stones

Lesson From the Past on
Regimenting the Farmers
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
1t appears that in the days of Master
Kung. better known as Confucius, who
lived nearly 600 years before the Chris
tian era, the dukes, who ruled that part
OF China where Kung lived, regimented
the farmers, debating the kind and acre
age OF crops they should plant and also
controlling their raising of cattle.
At first each farmer was required to
pay to the duke one-tenth of all he
raised in produce and cattle, which was
in time increased to one-fifth. Young
Master Kung, who was probably one of
the wisest men who ever lived, was ap-
pointed tithe collector, and, in addition
to collecting tithes, was charged with
the duty Of enforcing the elaborate and
very definite rules for the conduct of
agriculture and animal husbandry.
Standard text books were written by the
"brain-trusters" of that time on agricul-
tJre as well as on many other subjects.
But Kung was never text book farmer
and wisely allowed the peasants to solve
their problems from their own practical
experience. Later in life when he was
asked to give some advice on farming
he laughingly declined and said: Better
get advice from some old farmer"
The moral, In its application to the
present, Is self-evident.

The Florida. Outrage.

Again the G-men have demonstrated
the effectiveness of carefully organized,
scientific investigation-and the futility
OF kidnapping as criminal racket
News of the definite solution of the
outrageous Cash kidnapping in Florida
is heartening to all parents in the United
States, although they grieve with the
bereaved parents of the little victim.
Recent recurrence of the horrible crime
OF child-snatching for ransom had raised
some fears as to the success Of the Lind
bergh law and OF the Governments de-
termined drive against violators of it.
Those holding such fears gave thought
only to the unsolved Mattson and Levine
child abductions, overlooking entirely
the impressive record of kidna pings
solved and gangs smashed since enact
ment OF the Federal kidnapping law in
1882.
Whether the F. B. I. realized 1t or not,
much depended on its handling of the
Cash case. 1t tackled the Job even
though 1t appeared from the outset as a
purely local crime, outside the technical
Jurisdiction of the Federal Government.
In such an emergency, ]. Edgar Hoover
rightly has adopted the policy of acting
first, while clues are fresh, and determin-
Ing legal jurisdiction later. If the F. B.I.
had failed in the Cash case, it might
have experienced difficulty in getting
congressional support for continued and
intensified warfare on kidnapers.
kidnapers and other criminals watch
public opinion. II they think the public
is adopting tolerant view toward them,
they take the utmost advantage of it.
They grow extremely discouraged when
an aroused public throws full support
to law enforcement officers.
The loathsome followers of the kid
naping racket will probably take another
lesson from the Cash case-the old lesson
that they cannot get away with 1t in a
civilized community.

actions. Thus, "the more abundant life"
has different interpretations among
those who talk about it and among those
who hear 1t talked about. To some, the
words have the significance attached to
them by religious teachers who vision
paradise earned by righteousness, while
to others they have connotation OF leis-
ure and luxury enjoyed without effort at
public expense.
Still commoner designations also suf-
fer the penalties of confusion. The
phrase democratic civilization" for in
stance. is indefinite in the most notable
degree. One school believes that it re-
fleets society in which every man is
king; another contends with equal
ardor that 1t represents the exact oppo-
site-a social state in which every man
is servant.
If the people differ, then, in appear
ance and manners, temperament and
bearing, intelligence and language, it
would seem to follow that their institu-
tions can be at best merely an approx.
nation. The thought is suggested for
the attention of those who, on occasion,
are discouraged by the spectacle. of gov
eminent mismanaged and public interest
willfully or witlessly betrayed.
