We were just thrilled TO tears.

Omaha. with a population of over

ears that had become accustomed
to the quiet flow of the river. the
occasional swishing eruption of

We called the newspaper and
they generously came out, got us

is one trouble with these larger
towns. There are no csmpsites near
the banks. the landings. peculiarly
enough, are impossible. the tourist
camps are far from the river, and
equipment has to be watched every
minute. Staying at hotels and eat

money than we have, but, as yet,
we haven't been able to find a

DON'T LET THE PENDULUM
SWING TOO FAR

With reaction beginning to set in
against union radicalism, it appears that
now is the time for Americans to remem-
Der that reaction can be as dangerous as
action.
Labor union leaders have brought pub
lie displeasure upon themselves by pur-
suing radical tactics Without thought
OF the public welfare, they have insti-
tuted strikes and fomented trouble
expense of the people who are ultimate
sufferers in any industrial war.
Throughout the nation I swing to the
opposite side has been manifested in
creasingly in recent months One out
standing manifestation is the investga-
ton of the National Labor Relations
Board, voted by the house of representa-
tives. The house acted because people
demanded action.
Now, before reaction assumes proper
tions as radical as the action which caus-
ed it, it is time for the American people
to remember that passion should not be
allowed to wipe out the social and econo-
mic gains brought about recently. For
there have been social and economic
gains.
We do not believe labor leader has
the right to say to one man, you may
not work" and to another, you may
work"
We do believe that laborers should have
every protection possible in their right
to organize and bargain collectively.
We do not believe radical leaders
should be able to shut down an entire
industry because the employer refuses
to hire union men alone.
Neither do we believe, however, that
the employer should be allowed by in
timidation to prevent his employees from
Joining together in a union if they so
desire.
We do not believe the employer should
be allowed to break agreements with his
employees, nor do we believe the employees
should have any more right to break con-
tracts with the employers.
Above all, we believe the problem of
Industrial relations should be approach
ed from the front, not from either side.
For several years the Powers-That-Be
have approached it entirely from the
side of the labor unions. Now the people
are clamoring for change. The biggest
danger is that the swing will be too far
in the other direction. That is the thing
to guard against.

Famous Sayings

Another in the u. S. tour series
by Bruce Cation. .....
NEW YORK.-In the old days, you
began every political analysis IN
New York by asking what Tam
many Hall was going to do. Now
adays you begin by asking what the
American Labor Party is up to
That doesn't mean that Tam
many is dead, or that the Labor
Party rules the roost. 1t does mean
that an important change has taken
place. .a
Some of Tammany's decline is
due to population shifts, which
have made Manhattan-Tammany' s
one big stronghold-comparatively
less important in the city's politics
Some of it is due to the New Deal
When the federal government
went into the direct relief business
it robbed Tammany of an import
ant prop.
While all OF this was happening
leaders of organized labor were
putting together political ma
chine to help elect President Roose-
velt in the 1886 election. Elsewhere
the pro-Roosevelt work was done
through the Labor's Non-Partisan
League; in New York an outright
labor party was formed, and in
the 1896 election, it gave Roosevelt
274,000 votes. -. .
The organization was then made

Down in WestcheSter Va a boy
twelve years old was reading Admir-
al Peary's stirring adventures to
reach the North Pole. The boy was
thrilled. He was keeping a diary,
and that night he wrote in it, IT
have decided to be the first man
to reach the North Pole" That boy
was Richard E. Byrd. So earnest
was he, that he went without an
overcoat in the winter in order to
b tougher himself for his polar iaunt.
He just must be a polar explorer!
He couldn't be anything else. He
was the first man to fly over both
Poles, North and South He has
made a success of his life because
he followed what he wanted most
ardently to do when he was a boy.

nearly gave his mother mysteries
because he insisted on keeping
snakes in the house. One day the
captain of a fruit boat gave him
a boa constructor, and he brought
IL nome and put it in the basement!
We'll, that man is Raymond L. Dit
mars, curator of the New York Zoo
logical Gardens, and the greatest
authority in the world on snakes.
In Saginaw, Michigan, a boy ten
years old had a veritable passion
for designing things. Anything. All
Things. A play was put on in
neighbors barn. He didn't want to
act. He didn't want to direct He
wanted to design the scenery. and
he did design it by painting it on
wrapping paper. That boy showed
flair, an enthusiasm, for design
ing. He had the good sense to fol-
low his natural bent. Today he is
one of the worlds outstanding des-
igners: Norman Bel Geddes.
Marconi told me, in a personal
interview, that he was experiment

nine years old. He developed the
theory Of wireless when he was %.
1t grew out of his experiments
when boy. Charles F. Kettering,
the famous inventor, began making
experiments when he was eleven.
Rs first patent was issued when he
was 49, No wonder he has had $50
patents issued in his name. He fol-
lowed the course he had a natural
liking for.

HALTING A WAR OF WORDS
(Christian Science MonitOr)

Reports of peace efforts in Europe in
clude striking phrase-''a thirty day
truce, to be extended to press comment .
This plan manifestly takes account of the
war of words being carried on in the
newspapers of the world, and of the
urgent need for checking it if peace is
TO prevail.
1t may be too much to say that the
press can make war, but some good
historians believe the newspapers have
come very close TO it, as in the Hearst
papers campaign for the Spanish -Ameri-
can war. A controlled press is one of the
keeneSt instruments of military diplo-
macy. Newspaper offensives often are
the first steps in diplomatic drives Today
German-Polish relations which, if not
wholly happy, were comfortably quiet
for several years under the mutual non
aggression pact, have now become so "in-
tOlera able" partly as a result of embitter-
ed press attacks, that even to talk of
peace is considered almost traitorous.
Nor is it only the controlled press
which is subject to war-mongering News
papers dominated only by the demand
of readers for exciting reports also play
into the hands of those who would use
hate and fear for their own purposes.
Indeed, the diplomacy of threat often
finds such papers more useful than its
own press. For they carry the agitation,
the confusion, the fear, which are in
tended to break the morale of other peo-
piles and force concessions
No believer in free speech will favor
a truce, extended to press comment"
which means official suppression of
news. But the fact that such a thing is
considered a necessary part of peacemak-
ing, should cause newspapers to control
themselves and eschew all War-making.
This is not a matter of suppressing news
but of refraining from the reporting of
false news or sensationalizing genuine
news. 1t has been proved that necessary
information about actual war dangers
can be conveyed to readers in a war which
promotes understanding and solution in
stead of hatred and embodiment.
Yet the best newspapers need the help
of readers in any such effort. Readers
who do not relish war scare on the
front page every morning, readers who
wish to protect their thinking from the
constant suggestion of war and from the
reiterated impact of calculated threats,
can promote q newspaper arnlistice Of
the right kind. They can demand fewer
false war stories, more careful informa-
ton about causes of war, and better re-
porting of peace purposes among the
peoples-which is the biggest story in all
the present situation.
And of course readers can always de-
clare their own armistice, making war
scares the occasion for more vigorous
defense of peace in their own thinking.

Willis Thorntons S Editorial on:
One u. S. Course is Clear and Straiqht

how to handle it. Because millions
of barrels of the precious Oil were
allowed to run uSeleSsly away or
to burn in spectacular torches
against the skies, movements were
set on foot to regulate oil product
ion.
Throughout all the jumbled his
tory OF this regulation, no system
has emerged which would prevent
the kind of shutdown which now
paralyzes a great part of the in
dustry. Thousands of men are
without jobs, hundreds of wells are
endangered, scores of producers in
vestments are tottering, because of
conflicts between producer, refiner,
and distributor which they have
not been able to settle in a less
drastic way.
Thus far there is no consumer
shortage. Nor must there be. For
the general rule that applies TO
many people and things applies
also to the oil industry: who can
not control himself must submit
to control by Others"

Bruce Cation in Washington
Disseets the News

! a. 4
City, the new party actually helo
the balance of power.
Republican and Democratic
strength was close enough to be-
ing evenly divided that those 400,-
O00-odd Labor Party votes could
decide the issue. This was proved
again last fall when Gov. Lehman,
reelected by the narrow margin
of $4,000 votes, was given 4l9.o0o
by the Labor Party.
So while Tammany-out of pow
er in New York, apd in bad with
the New Deal administration
languishes for lack Of patronage,
which is thus added to all its other
woes, the Labor Party occupies an
extremely important position. And
it will go down the line for Presi-
dent Roosevelt, or any other Sat
isfactory" New Deal candidate,
next year.
Which may easily mean that
New York will go Democratic in
the 1910 presidential election.
Mayor LaGuardia recently sought
to throw the partys support to VIII
liam Herlands for the post of dis
trict attorney of Kings county

cred about the controlling Demo-
cratic machine there. Herlands Is

ant to Thomas E. Dewey In Man.
haitian. But the Labor Party re-
fused to follow the mayor, endors-
ing instead Magistrate Charles Solo
mon.
The disagreement reflects the
fact that LaGuardia's prime con-
cern is to break the power of the
New York Democratic machine,
and the Labor Party is thinking
primarily In terms of national pol
ititcs. Party leaders figure that they
must not do anything to build
up Republican strength which, In
the 1910 campaign, would be used
against the New Deal.
In reaching that decision, these
leaders were thinking principally
of Dewey. They believe that with
any other candidate running against
a New Dealer, the vote in N. Y
will be even enough so that their
100000 votes will bring about a
New Deal victory.
