The Admiral Williams this week
put into the same port. As she
lay at her berth. suddenly she took
a sharp list To port and tumbled
her sleeping crew out Of their

just as far over TO starboard.
According to our latest COM

the other every few hours for no
apparent reason.
All Of which is odd to say the

Attached to the application was 4

His legal training limited almost
entirely 70 minor office matters. In
my opinion he would not be worth
more than what nc has been earning
during the last year, which is ap-
proXimatcly $50 a month"; -
At the bottom Of the application
General Counsel Fahy had written
four words: Nephew Of Ben Cohen"
Mr.. Cohcn is high in administration

Corcoran and Cohen. Mr.. Frcund got

All of them cost money, and there

We are glad Mr.. Horton has dared

the able-bodied were suddenly shllt-
ed to bureaucratic work, the ten per
cent left would be hard driven 70
produce food, shelter and clothlhg'
autos, radios and rayon for thein-
selves and the 80 per cent. But lhe
effect is no less certain because
gradual. That is why, when this m
exorable law begins to operate, the
State finds it necessary to pass wage
and hour laws, and fix prices.
At the present rate OF adding 10
federal pay rolls, in five'months 'he
number of employees will reach
l 100000, more than twice the num-
Der of seven years ago. This number
does not include the legislative, judi
cal, Army and Navy. or the NIL
lions on WPA and CCC, OF war vet
Grams, or state and local officials.
When these are included the Sltl'a-
ton reveals itself as factor OF I'M
employment. Whereas, ten years ago
II citizens in gainful employment
supported one government agent or
ward, today these same eleven sup
port three on the government pay
roll.
This, then. is the situation IN
Washington to which a sober ard m
telligent Youth Congress might well

grows, youth will find ii necessary

the burden upon each individual IS
increased because of the Increased
burden Of government overhead. IhlS
additional burden can be met only
by greater production, longer hours,
less return. With hours and wages
fixed by law, youth, unable to COM

and experience, is indeed in d guam
,iary. 1t does not improve It's con-
clifton by demanding more from Gov

The Way Through

RunorS for some time has nad II
that President Roosevelt is willing
10 confer his blessing on Cordell
tiull as crown prince and heir to
the throne in Washington, and,
though this has not been tlatly con-
tirmed. neither has it been definite
" denied from the White House.
Now comes along Cotton Ed
Smith. South Carolina scion, with
the announcement that he would
support Hull. and urging his nomi-
nation.
If any one cares to see the lion
and the iamb-Ur maybe it Is two
lion>-lic down together, there Is no
reed to lock further. Here is the
pcrlcct example. Vita these arch
enemies III agreement on 4 cam
Gidate for tic presidency, the party
could scarcely do better than to
accept mat man.
Moreover. Cordcll Hull has ablll-
.icS of his own to commend him. He
has Steadtastly refused to allow his
name To be used in convention
Speculatluu. 50 that the office would
"upear to be seeking the man.
Which is as it should be, and anoth-
er reason commencing the white
haired secretary Of state from Tenn
2>See.
Mir. Hull is about as we'll posted
on problems OF the government as
any man next to the President, Ger
tainly more so than lot OF the
political upstairs who have been
mentioned for the place. He has
the poiSe. the stability. the level
headedneSS. and practically every
ether qualification, save only that
his age is bit against him. Yet
other countries do not hesitate to
put old men into high position,
albeit the foreign countries have not
had the concerted effort to diScredit
elderly officials as has been tried
here.
Quite conccivably Mr.. Hull'S &C
ceptance all around might be the
way out Of the dilemma the Demo-
cratic party finds itself in. 1t would
eliminate the ascension that in
evltaDly would be caused by Mr..
Roosevelt seeking third term. 1t
would provide the man on Which
both sides could agree. The PreSi-
dent would have to approve or else
rcpudiate his own selection and
support OF Hull as his cabinet pre-
mier tor eight years. Hull is sort
Of middle-of- the-roader. He hasn't
mixed in the New Deal controver-
sizes on either size and has made no
enemies in that regard.
II the party can accept him and
also running mate OF the same
type. its troubles ought to be little
ones and victory in November the
more certain.
