Prophet and DOghOuse
High got the can :.
BY RODNEY BUTCHER


WASHINGTON-A prophet us
ually lands in the doghouse in his
own country. That was exactly the
fate of DR.. Stanley High, who was
publicly booted from the White
House inner circle when he wrote
a magazine article predicting lib
eral-conservative battle for control
of the Democratic party.
But High knew what he was writ
ing about, and events he predicted
have come about. His peace "WhCSe
Party Is IT, appeared in February
1887. He had prepared it weeks be-
fore without knowing President
Roosevelt would pop his supreme
court plan on the eve of publication,
and would depenC on conservative
politicians to put it over.
Roosevelt had no foreknowledge
of Highs article Although he
wreaked his wrath On High, he fin
ally has said the same things High
said-and publicly.
The issue, High Wrote,s wa
whether the Democratic party was
to become the liberal party in 1910
Old-line Democrats were ready tC
ease out the economic Salvati1niStS'
and their salvation plans and ere
store the inoffenSive Democracy
which which they were familiar il
the traditional era before RCose-
velt"
They were sure, he continued
they could have party by 1941
in which Carter Glass, John Gar
ner, Al Smith, jim Reed and John
w. Davis would again feel at home
Sensational at the time, but stale
news 18 months later, was Highs
prediction:
ct seems probable that the en-
gineer Of this movement or res
toration will be the vice president
Mr.. Garner. Hopes of the old-order
Democrats are pinned on him :.
Senator Joseph C. O'Mahoney OF
Wyoming, chairman Of the tenn
porary national economic committe-
monopoly investigating committee

Prof. Arthur r. Himbert of the
University of Wyoming, a specialist
on corporation law, business units

tration.

three years has worked with O'Ma-
honey on the latter's widely dis

tion laws. Himbert collects unusua

There can be no political liberty
without economic freedom"

Famous Sayings

If you can make any particular
sense out of the alarming and con-
flicting reports about the
Japanese Russian border clashes,
and can satisfy yourself from them
which side is taking the aggressive,
you will be doing q crest deal bet
ter than most of your fellow coun-
trymen-or, for that matter than
most of the japanese and Russians.
Nothing in the whole imbrogllo
seem to make sense. One side relates
that the other has been committing
wilful and unprovoked attacks; the
other denies this and says precisely
the same thing about its opponent.
All that seem really clear is that
some highly confused fighting has
been taking place. that a number
CT men have been killed, and that
the world is standing on the very
brink of a new and terrible WaI
whose ultimate consequences are alb
solutely unpredictable.
Whether that war will actually
develop is beyond the power OF
human forcasting right now. But
whole traggic business does provide
a working illustration of the truth
that the immediate cause of wal
is never the real cause.

 CAUSES PROTEST
 FROM CZECHOSLOVAKIA
 The last days of May this year found her in Czechoslovakia, where things were boiling because the Su- deten Germans, backed by Hitler, were making extreme demands upon the Czech government. Not withstanding, she strolled through Prague wearing swastika badge. The Prague police communicated with the British Minister, request ing him to tell her to desist as the wearing of the swastika is illegal in the country. A few days later she was touring in the Sudeten German district when the Czech military stopped her and searched her, seizing three cameras, films, letters and diary.
 The Conservative Daily Express editorially dryly commented: Miss Unity Milford asks for what she gets-and gets It."

 High Mark

Collection of first installment of this years taxes has reached and surpassed the $3,000000 mark, Tax Collector William A. Ennis report ed today.
 This amount equals the sum col lected for the same period last year and is considerably more than half of the $5,l77 900 estimated as the years revenue.

The bal ance which brings the total to more than three million was paid in during that time by mail and the collectors staff has been busy for the past two weeks accounting this sum of about one-half million dol lars.
 The next installment is due Co., tober 1st, but firms or individuals may obtain a discount by payment of that installment now, the dis count based on the number of days until October 1st form the date of payment. This amounts to about Az per cent of the balance due for the time between payments and the due date.

ford has been no ordinary admirer of Hitler and the Nazi doctrines. She has been their Exhibit A among foreign converts. Tn June, 1885, the Nazis held a festival at Hesselberg. Unity Milford was given a con- spicuous seat on the speakers stand and Goering and Streicher both complimented her.
 The delighted young woman shortly afterwards wrote a letter which Streicher printed in his pa- per Der Stuermer," notorious for it's anti-Semitism: Please publish my whole name. I want everyone to know that I am a Jew-hater. |" And she ended in the approved Nazi style:
 German greetings. Heil Hitler!"
 Since then she has spent in- creasingly longer holidays in Ger many and 1t has been rumored that she contemplated becoming a Ger man subject.
 Last March she was part of the cheering throng that greeted Hit ler's triumphant entry into Vienna. In April she was back in London. One day the Socialists held mon- ster mass meeting in Hyde Park.

BANDIT
 IS COPS SON
Police Kill Youth Who Had Record of 28 RObberies
 in Two. Weeks,

Chicago, June 17-(UP)-Police man Ernest l.. Keen, 43, had an ex- cellent record for valor during his IS years in the police department He still could claim that record to- day. Last night an elusive "phan- tom" bandit, who in little more than two weeks had committed 28 rob- berries, was shot and killed by Keens fellow officers. But Keen was credit ed with having made the capture possible. The bandit was Keen'i son, Harold, g.
 The son had been lawbreaker since he was 10 and was parolled two months ago from the state peni- tentiary where he had served five years for larceny.
 Search for the young gunman be- came city-wide last Tuesday after he had battled with police. He was wounded, but abandoned his auto- mobile, later found stained with blood. He had not been identified when he fled.
 The next morning Keen, a mem- Der of the stolen automobile detail, told his superior officers he was con- vinced that his son was the "phan- tom". He said he had taken pho- tograph of the boy and made the rounds of filling stations and restau- rants that had been robbed. Five persons made identifications
 "I want to be the one to catch him, though" Keen said. Hell shoot, I know, and I'd rather get it than have some other policeman killed"
 He said his sons wife Angeline, an expectant mother, would know where the boy was. She was appre- hended and admitted she had kept rendezvous with her husband Wednesday night, dressed a wound in his left arm, and made date to meet him last night at the home of a girl friend.
 Seven detectives went to the home to await his arrival. The elder Keen was not permitted to accompany them. Mrs. Keen was held in tenn porary custody at the detective bureau.
 Keen arrived on schedule. AS he stepped onto the rear porch he saw Detective Joseph McCabe, holding a machine gun, behind screen door. McCabe ordered him to throw up his hands. Keen hesitated, jerked pistol from his pocket. McCabe killed him.
 The elder Keen didn't report for work on his early shift today. He stayed home with his wife.
 Harold was a bad boy" he said. His mother and tried our best, but we failed"

 Things he actually did say. Matthews said.
 Judge William Clark interrupted to say:
 Does the statement of Bridges advocate the overthrow of the gov ernment by violence?"
