Scientists tell us that Shakespeare died of twelve diseases, all fatal. Either of the number would there fore have been sufficient. -:o: Life would be so much more pleas ant if all of us enjoyed ourselves as much as does a dog rolling in the dirt right after it has been bathed. :o: It's all right to abandon the gold standard, but in a crisis like this it would throw the whole country into gloom to go oil the silver standard for claud linings. :o: The more we think about it, the more nearly convinced we are that Governor Long's parents were acting under the influence of a prophetic vision when they gave him his first name. :o: The United States government has displayed considerable impudence in placing Al Capone on trial for eva sion of the income tax, but after all. isn't the government carrying the outrage a little too far in arresting the gang chief's bodyguard for carry ing a pistol into court? 7K1E "HO TThcl Sisyo up in !

Ethnologists, in all their min utes researches, have never found traces of business depression among the Indians, as long as that monetary. policy prevailed. :o: Gandhi has decided to postpone his projected visit to the United States. This seems- a wise enough move, inasmuch as this country wouldn't have time to pay very much attention to him until after the close of the football season, anyway. :o: BOSTON'S POPULATION In colonial days Boston was a metropolis. For many decades there after the city was one of the two or three largest in the nation. But re cently Boston has occupied a position fairly well down on the census list; and this fact has been something of an injustice to the city of beans, cod fish, and Cabots. The official figures on the "metro politan area," recently released, tell a truer story. Within 20 miles of Boston Common, it is now revealed, there dwell 2,307,897 people. Metro politan Boston, accordingly, is prop erly fourth on the list of big cities ahead of every city except New York, Chicago and Philadelphia. Boston, as it happens, is enrich ed by a ring cf suburbs that refuse to be annexed. Three of these sub urbs Cambridge, Somerville, and Lynn are cities of more than 100, 000 population. So Boston, a huge urban center, gets a census count of less than 800,000, and is technically smaller than several cities that are not, actually, as large. HOOVER AND DEBTS The Washington dispatches show that President Hoover is seeking a line of further retreat from . his party's and his own position on debts and reparations. In form, he is hold ing to the old thesis that the debt settlements are based, from the Am erican standpoint, on our debtors' capacity to pay. Those that come for ward and say they cannot pay or can pay only part will be let off so long as they continue in poverty. But since, in fact, it is perfectly easy for our debtors, with the exception of Prance, to give a demonstration that they cannot pay, this attitude of the president's is equivalent to saying that he is willing to forego pay ment of a large part of the debts, perhaps all, for a considerable per iod. It is not a very clear-cut method of dealing with a perfectly well known state of affairs which calls plainly for reversal of policy, but it is a step in the right direction. And if we cannot have the administra tion take up openly and -directly the whole problem of debts and of the German reparations from which our debtors paid us while they were mak ing payments it at least is some thing to the good that we have the administration wriggling toward the end that must inevitably be reached soon or late, and the sooner the bet ter for all concerned. In this wrig gling process, there will be difficul ties as there would be in a direct ap proach. Foolish members of congress must be considered, and their reluct-! ance to admit publicly by actions and votes that they have indulged in an immense amount of balderdash in late years. French intransigeance must be considered. Feebleness in other debtor nations, which inertly continue to maintain and expand great armaments while their own people suffer, must be considered. and so must the natural disturbance of the American people over the spec tacle of these nations saying they cannot pay while they go on with their armaments. Sidling up to the problem removes few difficulties and may increase some, but, again we say, it is better than inaction. The important thing is that Mr. Hoover is at work on this matter of debts and reparations, which, with the strangulation tariff policy of this country, and the inducement it has been to other nations to" follow our example, constitutes the gravest ob stacle to recovery of industry and trade from the bottom up. In this wcrk, Mr. Hoover should have the encouragement of enlightened opin ion. He should have behind him a public sentiment which wiirstir him to bolder action and guard him against the danger of timidity and hesitation when the blind debts-are-debts crew cuts loose in the capital. Baltimore Sun. :o: HERO'S HOLE FOB POLICEMEN Most thoughtful Americans even those who have been unmercifully called down" for a minor and un intentional infraction of a traffic regulation will indorse President Hoover's good word for the police. Especially will they second that part of his message to the convention of tho International Association of Chiefs of Police, where he said: Instead of the glorification of cowardly gangsters, we need the glorification of policemen who do their duty and who give give their live3 in public pro tection. The police are the shock troops of society's war cn crime and they must have the re-enforcemcnt of pub lic support. Too often this support is doubtful or wavering because some members of police forces have prov ed unworthy of the trust placed in them. Such betrayal are not to be condoned. But whilo politics remains what it is in many large American cities, and public apathy continues, police officers who do their duty especially unspectacular duty must rank as heroes. It has been said that a part of the traditional American tendency to take sides "agin the government" and the government's police arm is due to a lawlessness that had its roots in untrammeled pioneering. This may have led American police to take the attitude that any citizen is ready to break the law, which is in striking - contrast win he Europ ean officer's usual view that citi zens will obey the law and will sup port him in enforcing it. This may be developed, too, the discourtesy and reliance on "strong arm methods" which too often mark American police. Anyone who has ever watched a.

May It not be that this difference has its source not only in the splen did traditions of London's police and their superior technique, but in Brit ain's vastly better record of court convictions? Would not tho morale of American police be tremendously improved by court reforms that would end a condition under which the policeman sees four-fifth of the criminals he apprehends turned loose through political intrigue or legal chicanery? Certainly the police can do much to build up the hero's role for them selves. But the public must also do its part. :o: WAGE EQUALITY TOR WOMEN Equalization of wages for men and women doing the same quality and quantity of work has been advo cated by Miss Mary Anderson, chief of the women's bureau of the Depart ment of Labor, as a means of remedy ing the unemployment problem. The key to Miss Anderson's pro posal lies in her statement that in competition for positions "women are apt to be given the preference where they can do work equally well as men because of the lower wage standards in force for them." This argument, as presented by Miss Anderson, is perhaps the strong est thus far advanced in the cam paign for equal wages. Naturally, few employers are willing to pay $40 a week for work they can have done for $25. The fact that a man de manding $40 has a family to support is not usually taken into consider ation by the hard-pressed business man when a woman, seeking the Job, will take it at $25. With the man and wonlan appli cants asking an equal wage for the same position, tho employer would be forced to make his choice, not on a money basis, but on actual merit. The employer could also take Into consideration the applicant's need for work. The man with a family to support would naturally be chosen over a married woman who did not need employment. The assumption, of course, is not that there will be more Jobs, but that they will go to those who need them most. Miss Anderson also presents her plan as a means of keeping men's wages high by bringing those of women to the same level. If equal wages merely meant a scaling down for men, it would tend to force their wives to seek jobs, thus augmenting the influx of women into business and further breaking down the old idea of home. There is little prospect of an early acceptance of this proposal by busi ness In general, but it offers an argu ment which should certainly encour age further advances toward wage equality for women. :o: By the way, what has happened to the Interstate Commerce Commis sion?
