KILLING PEOPLE
ACCOMpLISHES NOTHING

Armed clashes in San Luis Potosi,
Mexico, where President Lazaro Cardenas
seeks to disarm the private army of Gen.
Saturnino Cedillo, lead to the reflection
that the rank and file of Mexicans still
have long way to go toward the goal
of democracy.
Imagine, if you can, j. P. Morgan
maintaining a private army of several
thousand we'll equipped soldiers in this
country. The idea sounds fantastic. Yet
that is exactly what Gen. Cedillo does in
Mexico
The federal government there cannot
be blamed for attempting to disarm this
private army. Such an armed force puts
too much power in the hands of one
man if the nation in which he lives is sup
posed to be a democracy 1t tends to re-
move the power of the people to rule
themselves by vote, placing the power
to rule in the hands of the man who con-
trolls the army.
President Cardenas will have moved his
nation another step towards democracy
when he successfully overcomes the arm
ed power of his opponent

THIS BUSINESS
OF SHAKING HANDS

Mrs. Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who
ought to know, says the way to shake
hands with 5000 persons a day is to beat
them to the punch, grasp the ends of
their fingers and draw them gently to
one side in order to keep them moving.
That may be all right-in fact, that is
all right-for series of political hand
shakes. Trouble is, it doesn't help the
victim. What he wants to know in this
political year is not how to shake hands,
but how to escape shaking hands with
every rythm-pumping candidate who
comes along.
On this subject of handshakes, how
ever, there is lot that could be said.
IT is so easy to shake hands easily, grace
fully and without embarrassment to any
one concerned in the endeavor But there
are a lot of hand shakers who don't
know it.
The major penalties of the law should
be visited against two prevalent types of
handshakers-the ones who grab before
you fairly get your hand started toward
theirs, and so leave you in the predica-
ment of shaking hands with the tips of
your fingers, and the ones who very
gently wabble something that feels more
like an extinct trout than hand when
their palm meets. yours. Only slightly
less harsh should be the penalty against
the enthusiastic ones who take a hand
grip as a test of brute strength, and
smash every finger in sight before you
can put stop to it by stomping on their
toes-if you are a rugged individualist
or grinning wanly and pulling away
weakly, if you are polite.
Our own vote of thanks and friendship
goes to the man who grips your palm,
presses firmly-but not with a wrestler's
gripLshakes gently for second or two,
and then lets go.

TAXPAYERS GROAN
BECOMES A ROAR
prescott Courier)

An underground growl of protest is
always arising from the taxpayers of
the land. 1t is heard even in so-called
prosperous times. Now that taxes have
been increased almost everywhere this
groan has reached the proportions of a
roar. But for various reasons the roar
ing is not very effective.
People who pay taxes usually have
some money with which to pay them, con-
SeQuently are not as a usual thing alb
solutely suffering for the necessities of
life. The taxes pinch them enough, so
they groan and roar in private But
when it comes to taking the steps neces-
sary to start and maintain an organiza-
tion which shall bring continuous pres
sure to bear in behalf of lower taxes,
it usually means too much effort by the
taxpayer. He would rather sit in front
of the fireside and groan about the taxes,
than get out to a taxpayers meeting,
help organize a movement, and perhaps
serve as one of the officers.
Hence great deal of the taxpayers
groaning does not accomplish any parti-
cular result. Meanwhile other elements
of people bring pressure to bear on the
legislators, and are more effective in
getting the results they want.
There have been important movements
of taxpayers during the past few years
to organize their forces, and obtain a
hearing before legislative and municipal
bodies. But the taxpayers as a whole
will have to give such efforts more ac-
tive support if they are to have any
marked success
High taxes have blighting effect on
industry. And when taxes are placed on
any form of merchandise or property,
the taxes are placed on the one who actu-
ally uses the property or merchandise
He often gets no tax bill, but he pays
just the same.

a scramble for business!
Did they get the same amount
of business? Not at all. In fact,
far from it. for one lad-a colored
boy-got more than any other
two.
None of tbs bootblacks had
stands. For the most part they
had a chair Tor the customer to
sit in. a small box to put his feet
on. and some of them had pads TO
kneel on as they worked; though
sometimes the customer had TO
standup, and most of the boot
blacks did not call out. Some of
them looked at you, pointed sud
denly to your shoes and said,
Shine some said Shine your
Shoes" But that was about
all And these didn't do much bus
mess. The most perfunctory and
non-thinking sidewalk selling you
can imagine.
But the colored boy was a
psychologist. If 1 had told him
that, he probably would have
thought me a bit cracked. He had
fastened a newspaper to the bars
of the park fence so that it could
be seen at a glance. In the live
liest and most good natured voice,
and pointing to the paper pinion-
ed on the palingS. he sang out,
"Papar says it's goin' to be a nice
day tomorrow Then added Get
a Sunday shine and sleep late in
the mawnin.' Sometimes he vari-
ed this with, Get a shine and go
see your best girl tomorrow"
This was not said in a perfume
tory, mechanical way. He called it
out merrily, and he smiled. Nat
urally, he got the trade. No one
could pass up the boy who present
ed his wares in such a novel way.
The others heard him. They saw
he was getting the business But
they continued to point mechincal-
ly at peoples shoes and say,
Shine Get shine"
The colored boy did not know
it, but he was dealing in what is
known by the psychologists as
imaginative selling" That is, he
took facts, and made people think
OF them imaginatively. What he
was really saying was:
Mister if you will get nice
shine and go to see your girl, you
II make a hit with her"
He was tying himself into the
persons plans and telling him
how to profit by patronizing him.
He did not know it. bat he was a
master salesman. That boy will
get ahead in life. Nothing but
sickness, or death, will stop him.
He has what it takes.

The Bluebird and The Life of the

Bruce Cation Says
Men Also Fioht Around the Table

If conferences could help, the
worlds troubles would have been
solved long ago We have had do
mestic conferences aplenty, and
the International scene has had
everything from League Of Nations
meetings to an Interchange of side
of-the-mouth whispers by dicta-
tors; but still the millennium
comes not, and the worlds ills go
on piling up.
All of which is brought TO mind
by the recent suggestion cf Philip
Murray, CLIO. leader, that I,resi-
dent Roosevelt summon confer
ence of leaders in labor, industry,
finance, agriculture and govern
ment to lead the nation out of
the wilderness"
In theroy, Mr. Murray's sugges-
ton is perfectly sound. We are all
in the same boat, and if it fails to
stay afloat all groups and all
classes are going TO suffer equally;
surely there ought to be enough
good will and common sense to
make such a conference productive
of a broad-gauge plan to end the
depression.
Yet the record of recent years
argues against it. The average
conference may provide a useful
cross-section of the sentiment of
folks back home but it produces
little in the way of a feasible plan
of action.
And it may be that the reason
why this is6o is simply that hard
ly any OF us are able TO shed the

Chinese war planes, flying over some
of the largest cities of Japan, dropped
handbills instead Of bombs because Chi

Japan would not have been so kind.

a fellow tearing down Main 80 miles

NEED FOR REVIVAL OF "HEADS
UP, CHEST OUT, STOMACH M

A British educator visiting in this
country expressed the belief that in time
to come the neglect of persons figure
will be a social crime. It's a social crime
now, but it just hasn't been put on the
statute books yet.
The EngliShman recommends a nation
wide physical culture movement. The ma
tlonal movements of this kind in Ger
many and Italy come to mind, together
with their incidental RECOMMENDATION. The
American imagination finds this not quite
wholly attractive, but certain gentle
pressure movement directed against
the American male might not be amiss.
Women are the ones to do it. In recent
years their efforts to become as beauti-
full as possible have been directed especi-
ally towards the matter of good carriage.
and you rarely see the "debutante slouch''
any more. 1t seems almost as though
American women had some how gained
a picture of the graceful carriage of the
Mexican peon woman, who since child
hood have been trained to carry burdens
on their heads.
But the desire for an upright posture
does not seem to be longer present with
the men. There have been times. when
the military spirit was rampant. when
masculine animals of the species affected
a 'soldierly' bearing, but today too many
American males walk down the street
