Just Words
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Cincinnati Enqurer)
The art of conversation is greatly impaired now
adays by the ungovernable disposition to assign labels
to persons and enterprises. Having labeled man,
finds his thought on the subject crowded into
straight jacket and intelligent conversation is
choked off before it can begin. Thus who
believes strongly the organization of labor is likely
to be denominated a Communist This is ridiculous,
because labor has very little in the way Of independent
organization in the one country committed to Com
munism.
Similarly big business man, whose only sin is
to have been successful is almost certain to be stamped
Fascist by less successful less ambitious per-
This is silly because the probabilities that
the business mans consuming passion outside his
business and his family is to prevent government
interference And that is the antithesis of Fascism
A new theme of conversation will be Mexico.
Here the labelling is bound to be shot in the dark and
President Cardenas will be variously described as
Communist Fascist and merely a dictator But
Mexico is Mexico, and label fits. There ele-
ments of Socialism and Fascism, with strong in
fusion of plain, old-fashioned natonasm-in the
form Of antiforeignism.
Russia, too, is becoming paradox 1t is place
of Socialism. And nationalism has supplanted the
international theology of Is years ago. But cam
not combine these and call Russias regime of
national socialism, because Adolf Hitler has copy
right that term to which he is welcome
Labels doubt necessary They can be tools
of thought, But toe often they are spoken care
lessly and pastered onto objects which deserve
discriminating treatment Unless we stop reckless
habit of thrustng everything and everybody into
prefabricated category, shall find it impossible
to converse.

DEFEAT OF THE REORGANIZATION
BILL

The widely heralded reorganization bill has gone
down to defeat by the margin OF eight votes
After countless efforts to amend and change during
the weeks the controversy over the measure waxed
hot the House late yesterday delivered the final
knockout punch, voting it down 204 to 1876. The
action while net entirely unexpected is little unusual
in view of the approval which had been placed
the bill by the Senate previously after bitter fight
for it is the Senate that has gained the reputation
for adverse action in this administration rather than
the House.
While opponents of the President will make much
of it as a defeat for the New Deal it would appear
to be more of victory for departments in the gov
eminent which would have been affected under the
plan than direct verdict by the rank and file OF
the American people against the administration.
1t is probable that popular vote on such proposal
would have resulted in much different verdict Tor
the rank and file of the voters are not public office
holders
But this was battle of the government job
holders At least three ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OF
Education Veterans Bureau and Forest Service
were to be directly affected under the reorganization
bill The Veterans Bureau is representative of
powerful group SO are the Department of Education
and the Forest Service. Naturally enough not know
ing exactly what their fate might be these departments
were aroused to fever heat against the measure In
one day it was reported that $4,000 kilograms poured
into members of the House protesting passage OF the
bill 1t wouldn't be difficult to rustic $4,000 messages
from among the three departments above named, not
perhaps that all of them were directed from those
sources, However, fair percentage would mean a
terrific pressure on congressman especially those who
are up for reelection
The entirely unfounded assertion was made that
passage Of the bill meant step toward dictatorship.
Defeat of the reveals that danger of dictator
ship lies much in giving broad powers to the
Chief Executive who is responsible to the people and
subject to their verdict every four years, but rather
in the great political strength which grows in huge
departments of government which are made up Of
career men and women and political appointees not
directly dependent popular approval The political
appointees are valuable to the Congressman They
mean patronage and it is fairly difficult thought TO
a Congressman to vote away portion of his patron
age which he would have been doing under the
reorganization bill.

MONDAY. APRIL II. 1888

Friendly stars rule today, accord
ing to astrology. The week should
begin auspiciously for all who use
their energies wisely.
Good news may be expected under
this planetary government which
promises much to the nation but
puts many heavy responsibilities
upon individuals.
Under this rule of the stars con-
tracts should be made and signed
without delay Lawyers should pro-
fit through the coming weeks when
many important enterprises will be
launched with private as well as
with public moneys.
Women will be prominent in many
fields and will make their views on
national affairs known in govern
mental centers. Peace movements
will grow, but the seers seem to
doubt the final success of efforts
to prevent serious entanglements.
Astrologers hesitate to prognOsti-
cate the entrance of the United
States into another world war but
warn citizens of the danger Of revo-
lutionary tendencies.
While economic changes, long
foretoId, are taking place with grad
ual acceleration, the chief concern
of peace advocates should be with
internal troubles affecting the in
dustrial stability of the nation.
Although the public mind should
be more optimistic where business
is concerned there is an evil por-
tent controlling labor and more
strikes appear to be indicated.
This should be a happy wedding
day in which love over-rules logic.
The young will be joyfully indiffer-
ent 10 financial matters. Many chill
dren will be born next year when
domestic budgets may be far from
adequate.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of year of much
activity in business. For both men
and women new experiences that
will be lucky are forecast.
Children born on this day may
be exceedingly intelligent, we'll bal
anced and trustworthy. Subjects of
this sign are ruled by brains in
stead of emotions.
Charles Evans Hughes, Chief JUS
tice of the United States Supreme
Court, was born on this day 1862
Others who have celebrated it as
birthday include John Wingate
Weeks, onetime Secretary of War,
1860; Henry Willard financier, 1885.

TempeSts earthquakes and floods

The breaking of a treaty will

Beautiful--but--!
philadelphia Record

(Phlladelpha RECORD
The news must confess, at first shocked us
deeply We refer, of course, to the survey of 600
University of California co-eds which shows:
That the scholastic averages of the girls dimn-
ished their ratings for beauty increased
Or to put it less elegantly the better the locker,
the worser the thinker.
We are prepared for nationwide wave Of pro-
test resolutions from women's clubs and even the
formation of Beauty Defense Leagues, Inc. The
implications here clearly dreadful if not insulting,
and would share all this anticipated fury it
not for this other notation in the report:
THE relative beauty of the girls determined
by three judges-a professor, art student and an
ordinary student all male. -Four categories were
set up-the beautiful the good Hooking the plain and
the homely. The three judges agreed in more than
95 percent of the cases"
Here is the gve-away. The very thought of three
men agreeing completely and in detail on the beauty
of $40 girls out of 900 is preposterous Our marriage
records, our divorce records, the records of movie
stars popularity every known index of pulchritude
demoshes this notion. In fact it violates the laws
of chance. Not the judges of beauty pageants,
armed with tape measures and with their subjects in
bathing suits, have up such for UNI
animity.
The report doesn't mention it, but we're Won
derng Did these inspections take place in the moon
