A gangster attending the trial of
Scar face Al Capone was caught in

Harvard finally has grown tired

In rewriting the Bible, two Uni

the Lord's Prayer to say, "Give us

The American Indian, despite dife

Our Indian population increased by

It's a long road back, and painful
to travel, but some day our lawmak
ers may awaken to the bitter real
ization that the political principles
taught by Washington, Jefferson,
Jackson, Lincoln, Roosevelt, and Wil
son are as eternal as the hills, and
must inevitably prevail.
-:o:-
A friend of ours traded in his
auto for a peck of potatoes. How
ever, it should be explained that the
car was ten years old, the Epark
plugs were not working, the engine
was shot to pieces, all of the fenders
were badly mashed, the paint on
body was scarred and peeled, and
all the spring seats were broken
Probably our friend got the best of
the Lraue.

Albert B. Fall, former secretary of
the interior, is seeking release from
the New Mexico penitentiary where
he is serving a one-year term .or
bribe-taking. According to aui-:n-

an honored guest in the New Mexico
prison. Also, he is getting free board
and doesn't seem to have sense
enough to know that he is getting
along better than at least five mil

THE SPIRIT THAT WTNS
"The wave subsiding, we descend
to the lowest depths," said Virgil.
Since there are signs that the wave
of depression is subsiding, it is CjUite
possible that the world has reached
its lowest depth of gloom, the utter
most bottom of despair.
What is now needed is a concerted
effort to galvanize the people into
something like cheerfulness not
foolish optimism, nor yet the old
spirit of recklessness that brought
about the crash, but a calm, confi
dent, self-assertive spirit.
An indomitable hopefulness in the
human heart made this the greatest
nation on earth. Surely it has not
forever departed.
Certain it is. there is too much of
despondency, too much lack of stout
heartedness, too much willingness to
surrender, too much fatalism in the
public mind.
Too many people are saying,
"from now on I don't-give-a-damn
what happens," when they ought to
be saying, "I'm ahead and try to do
my dead-level best."
Once get this thought firmly en
trenched in the public mind, restore
the will to conquer, and we will be
back on the broad highway.
A common sense cheerfulness is
the mother of all virtues.

HELPING THE HELPLESS
It is a great deal easier to feel
sorry for one person than to feel
sorry for 500. It is also easier to ex
tend help if the need can be made
dramatic and exciting.
A few days ago a Chicago woman,
suffering from" a rare and deadly dis
ease, lay at the point of death. - Her
doctors said that she would quickly
die if she could not be given a cer
tain type of gland extract. There
was none of. this in Chicago the
only available supply was in Buffalo.
Observe, now, hew readily distant
strangers acted to save this wom
an's life.
A Buffalo scientist put the extract
at her disposal. Buffalo policemen
rushed it to the airport, and officials
of an air transport company, notified
of the proceedings, telegraphed from
Washington that their westbound
plane was to wait for the medicine
no matter how' badly it disrupted the
schedule.
Reaching Chicago by ,air, the
medicine was hurried to the hospital
by police escort. There it was admin
istered, and the woman's life was
saved.
Upwards of a dozen total strang
ers, most of them living far away,
had co-operated in the winning fight.
Their sympathy was concentrated on
one suffering individual. The case
was dramatic, exciting, from start to
finish.
But how different it all is when
we have, not one sufferer but sev
eral hundred or several thousand
in circumstances that are not dra
matic but simply depressing.
A great' many men, women, and
children will be in danger of death
this winter through unemployment;
not only because of hunger and cold,
but because of sickness aggravated
by poverty. We shall save most of
them, of course but we shall have
to be stirred by elaborate campaigns,
speeches, advertisements, and radio
talks before we can do it.
At this minute starvation and dis
ease are creeping up on scores of
children in the soft coal fields, where
a disastrous strike is in progress.
Yet you can almost count on your
fingers the number of people who
are really emotionally moved by that
fact.
So it does. We will do almost any
thing for one Individual. When a
group is involved, we are apt to be
different.

CHIEF JUSTICE A SURPRISE
Chief Justice Hughes sailed for
Europe last June at the end of his
first sixteen months as the supreme
court's presiding officer. In that
brief period he left behind him a re
cord of opinions and decisions that
place him close to the liberals of the
court, Brandeis, Stone and the ven
erable Holmes.
With Hughes on the i.beral"
side of more than one moot issue has
stood Mr. Justice Roberts, giving the
supreme court for the first time in
history, if not a consistent liberal
majority, a definite trend toward
liberalism. -
None have been more surprised at
the emergence of the chief justice
as one of the liberals of the court
than those senators who fought his
nomination so bitterly in February.
1930. For in his decisions be has
shown himself to be just the sort of
chief justice that his opponents in
sisted he never could be.
Those who voted against him are
still rubbing their eyes. Can this be
the same Hughes whose elevation to
the chief justiceship was heralded
as sounding the knell of the liberties
of the American people?
The terms "liberal" and "conser
vative," strictly speaking, have no
more place in classifying justices of
the court than the terms "Democrat"
and "Republican." The duty of the
court is to interpret the law as it
stands, not to enunciate public pol
icies. Yet the questions of law to
be interpreted come before the court
in such a way that the legal philos
ophy of the individual justice, his
concept of government and the social
order measurably affect his decisions,
though he may not consciously be
aware of the fact.
Holmes, Brandeis, and Stone for
years have stood together as a liberal
minority. We cannot say that a new
Hughes has come into being since he
took the oath of office, for an exam
ination of his career will reveal a
marked tendency, in ' its earlier
stages, toward liberalism and inde
pendence, but it can be said that the
chief justice has proved himself the
polar opposite of the man created by
the vivid imaginations of the anti
Hughes cabal Oliver McKee, Jr., in
the Outlook and Independent.

BONDS AND A BOND
BETWEEN AMERICAS
The announcement of an organ
ization to safeguard the interests of
Ncrth American holders of Latin-
American government bonds should
be more than a mere momentary re
action to such events as the sixty-day
moratorium recently "declared by
Brazil. If it should develop into a
school for investors It may do even
more for the security of future loans
to Latin America than for those al
ready made. Comparatively little can
be done about defaults, suspension
of interest payments and the depre
ciation in value .of bonds now list
ed on the exchanges. But an organ
ization of this type can prevent many
cf the abuses of the past and do
away with much of the irritation
which arose over the way Latin-
American loans have been sold in the
United States.
Bond houses, carried away more
by enthusiasm than by any intention
of dishonesty, resorted to all the
pressure of modern sales and adver
tising methods to sell these issues
Bond salesmen were largely ignorant
of what they were handling and the
public of what it Mas buying; ignor
ant of the history of Latin America
The results were misleading state
ments on one side and gullibility on
the other. World-wide economic
stringency could hardly have been
foreseen, but the economic and po
litical past could have been examin
ed.
In many cases, however, the bad
records of the past were not due to
a desire of the governments to de
fault but to the impossibility of liv
ing up to the terms and to the un
productive character of the enter
prises in which the bankers permit
ted the money to be used. Had buy
ers of Latin-American bonds since
1924 looked into these matters they
would have discovered similar weak
nesses in addition to dependence up
on a degree of political stability few
countries have enjoyed or can fore
tell.
Fortunately, however, the Latin
American countries have passed from
the fringes of international affairs
into the very heart of modern so
ciety. They are geared into the
world-wide commercial and financial
machinery so that even if the7 wish
ed, and none of them does, they
could not indulge in economic mis
feasance. One of the gratifying fac
tors of all the recent revolutions has
been the persistent announcement
that these governments are keenly
aware of their international obliga
tions and eager to live up to them as
soon as possible.
The Latin-American Bondholders'
Protective Association can perform a
real service by supplying its mem
bers with authentic information
about conditions in countries whose
bonds they hold. It may restore the
credit of many of these nations which
need assistance and may call the at
tention of others to the havoc which
lenders to them have sustained. It
should serve to minimize friction. It
can be another agency making North
Americans better acquainted with a
part of the world which they know
too little and should give them a
greater, because sounder, faith in
Latin America.

which neutralizes acid. The best
corrective is Phillips Milk of Mag

physicians in the 50 years since its
invention.
One spoonful of Phillips Milk of

times its volume in acid. Harmless,

quick. Yon will never rely on crude

this method acts. Be sure to get

PEACE WITH ECONOMY
Some indication of the cost of
armaments and its relation to na
tional finances is afforded by the
budgets of certain South American
republics. Seven of these countries
are reported to be spending togeth
er more than 100 million dollars a
year on their armies and navies, al
thi Uizb their foreign bonds are sell
ing at bankrupt prices and the in
terest has been defaulted on many
issues. If that sum were applied
to their national debts, all of their
dollar bonds could be bought in on
the current market in about, three
j ears. It is evident that such expen-j
ditures upon national "defense" are
t ut of all proportion to the present
wealth of the countries involved.
South America is not unique in
this respect. Extravagant armaments
are being maintained all over the
world. A new urgency has been giv
en to the task ahead of the general
disarmament conference, to be held
in Geneva in February. Virtually
every government in the world is
faced today with the need for re
trenchment. The conference will give
an opportunity for nations to pro
mote peace and economy at the same
time. President Hoover's insistence
upon the "burden" of armaments
grows more to the point day by day.
Yet even such a modest proposal as
that for a short holiday in naval
construction has not yet been able to
gain international acceptance. The
prospects for the Geneva conference
are precarious.
:o:
Still the fact remains that the
only way to prevent people from be
coming Bclshevists is to keep them
busy. A man who has no job, and
whose family is hungry, doesn't
spend much time reading about or
speculating on what Congress may do
at its next session.
