To Rockne

Football and the spirit of
Knute Rockne will be joined in
a rousing musical tribute which
Phil Lampkin and his musical
henchmen will present at Loew's
Capitol Theater, starting Fri
day, as a supplementary feature
of that theater's holiday week
program.
Conceived by Producer Gene
Ford, the overture will be Ia
beled The Spirit of Notre
Dame" and in both music and
tableau will recall thrilling grid
iron moments associated with
that universally beloved leader.
A special feature will be a
narrative by Buck" O'Neill,
popular local sports writer, who
will recount incidents in the
gridiron life of Rockne which
have gone down in the pages of
history of the great American
classic.
On Friday night it is expected
that a large group of sports
celebrities will be on hand to
add to the color of this presen-
tation. The entire squads of
the Washington Redskins and
the Pittsburgh Pirates, whom
the local lads oppose next Sun
day, will be guests of honor as
will others prominent in the
pigSkin parade.

morally dishonest politicians as a
means of obtaining political advantage.
Congress can minimize such dangers,
and Congress should.

correlative problem of distribution.
Instead OF devoting our energies to

ticians, high and low, as we'll as of
labor, business and farm leaders,
should lend themselves to a solution
of the grave economic conditions, and
do it unseltishly for the benefit of all
classes.
The American worker in business
and industry has through the tor
turouS years learned to protect him.
self in economic struggles with his
employer. The labor organization was
born of this fight for higher wages,
shorter hours and improved working
conditions, Such organizations afford
its membership a measure of protec-
tion needed in the employer -employe
relationship of business.
But the w. P. A. worker is de-
pendent upon humanitarian Govern
ment. His services are not sought
He has nothing to sell from which
profits are made He is not a member
of really effective labor organization
armed with the weapons of collective
bargaining. He is told when he can
work. and what he will receive. A
relief worker has turned to relief only
after the mines have closed, only
after the fires have been banked
in the smelters, and only after the
factory gates have been locked. For
him the w. P. A. is the last resort,
and to him the slightest expression
from w. P. A. officials carries the
force Of command.
A Clear Distinction.
Talk as We will, no abstract political
or economic issue consumes his in
terest. He is interested in food, cloth
ing and shelter. And If he is led
to believe that the only way these
necessities will be forthcoming from
the Government is to vote for this or
that candidate, he will, as you or I
would do under similar circumstance,
vote as he is told. With no prospects
for other employment, the relief worker
will vote in such manner as he be-
lieves, or is led to believe, will insure
his continued reception of w. P. A.
checks. Against this the secret ballot
is helpless mechanism.
The argument was made on the
floor of the Senate that the relief
administrator has as much right to

millions OF taxpayers of the country
who are furnishing the money. Re-
cent developments have apparently
climaxed growing tendency on the
part of relief agencies to engage in
politics. No one except the relief or
ganization, its misunderstanding staff
and those upon whom it has bestowed
favors will deny such political en-
deavors.
Was Mr.. Hopkins asked his prefer
ence of candidates in the Iowa pri-
marieS because he was former resi-
dent of that great State? Did enter
prising news reporters seek his views
because he attended the same college
as did Mr. Wearin? Or was it because
Mr.. Hopkins is the Works Progress
administrator?
AS an ordinary citizen of the State
of New York Mr. Hopkins views would
not greatly concern any large number
of people of Iowa. But as the country S
number one spender, as head of the
w. P A., his choice of candidates was
of vital concern to thousands of Iowa
voters, and particularly those who look
to him as their keeper and benefactor
or who desire w. P. A. projects for
their communities.
Mr.. Hopkins has established his ad-
ministrative abilities He has great
ability, sympathy and understanding,
all of which be has applied to his
most difficult task He should, as a
result of the deserved rebuke re-
ceived from the people Of Iowa, con-
fine his activities to the impartial ad-
ministration Of a huge relief fund in
those billions without fear or favor
to those in need. He should not add
to pay rolls just before election, and
then reduce the rolls Immediately
thereafter, as has been done in past
elections.
Farmers and laborers should resent
any form of Government coercion.
just as workers with an ounce Of
intentional stamina should resent any
coercion from their employers.
NAOAC LAPCHSC W 1dAPdyCISs
I am not so idealistic as to believe
that Congress can legislatively elm
mate all politics from the administra-
ton of relief. A program as large and
as great as the w. P. A. or P. w. A.
is difficult to administer without preju-
dice to certain individuals The most
determined efforts to be impartial
may result nevertheless in some in
justice to deserving and needy. But
when the standards Of impartiality
and objectivity are colored with po-
litical opportunism, those on relief
will suffer. Money spent for farm
political activities by the Agricultural
Department and for w. p A. political
activities means more expense to the
taxpayers and less benefit to those in
need of relief. An organization COM

w. Heber Dithrich sentenced two men

The ex-foreman, John Macko. and

OF his subordinates, who holds in his
hands the destinies of millions of fam
lilies, turns to the political arena from
his task of serving the underprivileged.
Political necessity cannot justify
politics in relief, and political advan-
tage thus gained will not be enduring.
Political coercion by any source, public
or private, of those not economically
independent, subverts democracy.
When private political liberties are
transgressed by coercive economic
practices, direct or indirect, real de-
mocracy ends. When individuals exer-
else their voting franchise by dictation
through economic pressure of any per-

comes merely form.
