Nothing concrete to encourage business and

MATCH BURGLAR
SHOT TO DEATH

Washington's erstwhile Match
Burglar" James Jumper, 81
colored was dead today as the
result Of an affray a short
distance from where he "Shot 1t
out" with a policeman two years
ago.
Jumper was released from
District Jail yesterday morning
Several hours later he encountered
Charles Corning, "a, colored in
the 1900 block of Six-and-one-Half
st. N. w.
Corning said he had received
several threatening letters from
Jumper and that he shot the
latter during an argument that
ensued. Corning later surrendered
to Second precinct police and was
held for investigation.
Jumper earned the Sobriquet
"The Match Burglar" as the
result of a number of housebreak-
ings which were traced to him
through the finding Of burned
matches in buildings entered.
Policeman Joseph P. Miller shot
Jumper two years ago during a
gun battle resulting from an

"Easy Money! a Delusion
THE delusion of that argument is that nobody
basically appreciates anything that's been
handed to him on a platter and for which he
has not worked. Besides, most OF us poor nuts
are too thickheaded to realize that when the
politician does take something from somebody,
he keeps so per cent for himself or his organi-
Eation, before passing on the remainder with
lot of baloney wrapped up in the cellophane of
wardheeler blessings.
Nowadays material possessions, large incomes,
fat bankrols are all painful headaches to all who
possess them Such individuals of wealth are
wealthy mostly on credit. To keep that credit
they have to hire flock of financial geniuses
and manipulators to watch where their money
goes.
In other words the rich man today is living
in world wherein he is the victim of false sense
of values
Unless we are headed for wholesale bank
ruptcies, many stocks and second grade bonds
should prove profitable purchases at current
levels Should an upward movement get under
way, it could easily prove extremely embarrassing
to stock market bears as we'll as to business man
ayers who have allowed their inventories to
become abnormally depleted.

Wealth Is Not Happiness

ENRST of ALL since when did riches make people
L happy, and BY riches mean material wealth
and fat bankroll?
Conceded that no money at all brings misery
and discomfort. But that is because this world,
built by ourselves, operates on the principle of
materialism and survival of the fittest. One
can be lust as miserable with piles of money as
one can be without it. That is something most
of us seem to have forgotten-n we ever did
realize that very critical point
But the Government has gone around these
last five years selling the rankest quack medi-
cne-that the cure-all is more money and more
leisure to spend it.

Chief Reason for Peace

Chief Reason for Peace
IN my opinion, this is one of the main reasons
we are not having a war today. Man has
developed such terrifically destructive weapons
of all degrees. The statesmen realize this and
are well aware that the creation of man will
turn on them and destroy them, given the slight
est opportunity.
OF course there's limit to what you can take
from anybody, but, as have often said these
greedy, unbalanced dictators of Europe will, in
time, destroy themselves; let them have their
soldiers with their goose step and their huge
armies of destruction-with the good common
sense that Secretary Hull and Premier Chamber
lain are using our countries are pretty safe. The
others will end up like Stain, standing hundreds
of people up against the wall and shooting them,
through fear and unbalanced thinking. They
themselves will fall like a house built on quick
sand
Without a sane belief in God and sane con-
trolled thinking, nobody gets very far in this
world or lasts any length of time.

Naming Of Murphy
To Court Talked
BY the Associated Press.

By the Assoc: ated Press.
Gov. Frank Murphy's defeat for
reelection in Michigan led to spec
ulation today that President Roose-
welt might appoint him to fill the
vacancy on the Supreme Court
bench.
An ardent New Dealer, Gov.
Murphy twice was singled out by
the President for special tributes
during the campaign
On one occasion Mr.. Roosevelt
defended the Governors handling
OF the 1887 sit-down strike crisis n
Michigan. 1t had been criticized
before the House Committee on Un-
American activities. On another the
President appealed directly for the
Michigan Governors reelection.
In each instance the warmth of
Mr.. Roosevelt's language caught at
tention.
There has been no indication that
the President would make an ap-
polntment to the Supreme Court
before Congress convenes. The va
cancy was created by the death last
summer of Justice Cardozo.
