If things get much worse down there it won't be long before tourists will be taken on slumming tours through Wall street. :o: England's action in discarding the gord standard is not without pre cedent. Look how we have discarded our moral stanards. -:o:- We often get up in the morning feeling like a grand slam, and go to bed feeling like we'd been set five, doubled and redoubled. -:o:- But in this depression if there's less of everything else, there's at least a bumper crop of pictures of football players making funny faces. :o: If all the advice given to farmers during the past six months could be printed in one book, it would be a mighty handy thing to start fires with. : o : Tthe political victory in Kentucky is gratifying, but there is some hu miliation in the fact that the new Governor bears the effeminate sur name cf "Ruby. That's a heluva cognomen for a Kentucky Democrat to wear. :o: A cutlass said to have been own ed by Jean Lafitte, the pirate, was used -iu cutting- the-r ribbon-- as-' the dedication of a new bridge down in Louisiana Sunday.

UczZ Ctcrc, una It may be only a coincidence, but those fire new Congressmen elected last Tuesday are all "wet." :o: Japan politely refuses to withdraw troops from Manchuria, says a press dispatch. Anyhow, it's gratifying to know that Japan was polite about It. :oj- All of our linotype operators are emphatically against a war between China and Japan. Those outlandish names are just too confounded hard to spell. :o: The Democratic party is seeking to raise money for campaign funds. They can do it easily and truthfully by saying that it's for the benefit of the unemployed. :o: The Japs and Chinks keep on shooting at each other in Manchuria, and don't seem to be at all worried about what the League of Nations thinks on the subject. : -:o: : George Lott, amateur tennis cham pion in doubles, was served with a divorce summons just as he was about to enter a game. Hereafter George will probably play singles. -:o: Prohibition enforcement agents say they are frequently led to the sites of moonshine stills by following stray cows who smell the cooking mash. It sounds like bull to us. :o: Chicago wants both the Republi can and Democratic national conven tions next year. Let her have them. Perhaps the Windy City gunmen will find some targets worthy of their lead. :o: , The Incomprehensible thing about this war between Japan and China is that they should be fighting over a raito&a.- There are several railroad presidents in the TJ. .

Our doughboys wore headgear of somewhat similar pat tern' when they were ploughing through the mud of France. -:o:- A jury of his own appointment says President Hoover is not guilty of "abyssmal ignorance" concerning the affairs of the navy. Wouldn't it be nice if everybody could name the jury to try their own cases? :o: Mebbe prosperity, like posterity. Is just around the corner. Statistics show that both death and birth rates are steadily falling. Possibly many people are putting off dying and be ing born until depression departs. -:o: H. G. Wells, British author, says he would like to run the world for awhile in accordance with his Ideas. Inasmuch as those who are now run ning it seem to be utterly incompet ent, it would be just as well to turn the job over to Mr. Wells. o: L. C. Cottle, a California citizen, has presented to the government a claim of $840.80 for corn furnished by his father to the United States army in 1859. Belated presentation is explained by the fact that his fath er placed the bill in the family Bible, and the volume was not opened un til a few days ago. A man who neg lects his Bible that long does not deserve much consideration. :o: The Department of Commerce, fa mous chiefly because that cabinet portfolio was once occupied by Her bert Hoover, solemnly informs us that 7 per cent of the ready-made suits sold in retail stores carry with them two pair of trousers. The in formation is not frightfully impor tant save for the fact that those who are sitting around waiting for jobs may wear out more than two pairs of pants before the Hoover adminis tration goes out of power. It would not be at all amiss to shout: "Hurrah for two pairs of pants!" :o: radio advehteheg President Hoover voiced a widely held opinion when in a message to the National Broadcasters' associa tion he praised the original decision in this country not to have govern mental broadcasting supported by a tax upon the listener. It has given us a measure of free speech over the radio which is often lacking in coun tries which have adopted the taxing system. At the same time it has handed the radio over to national advertisers to an ever-increasing ex tent, and there are times when any thing, even if it meant the curtail ment of free speech, would seem bet ter than some of the advertising pro grams to which radio listeners have to submit. Fortunately, there is be ginning to be noticeable a tendency upon the part of far-sighted adver tisers to realise that too much in terruption of their programs by an nouncements of the sponsored prod ucts defeats the purpose of advertis ing. At least two large companies have recently contracted for weekly radio programs entirely free of ad vertising, except for a brief mention of the firm's product and an invita tion to read its advertising message as it appears elsewhere. This is com mon sense. If the chief purpose of advertising is to win the potential buyer's good will, more firms giving broadcasting programs should follow this policy. New York Evening Post. :o: A DEMOCRATIC HOUSE A house with the majority hostile to the administration is no new thing in American politics. Presi dent Harrison faced such a house in 1891, Cleveland in 1895. Taft In 1911. Wilson in 1917. and again in 1919. They were able to get vital legislation through in spite of ad verse house majorities. The Amer ican people are reasonable, and they do not permit politics to block neces sary legislation, as is the case in many European countries. Midterm adverse majorities In the lower branch of congress usually forecast the defeat of the adminis tration In the succeeding . election. But precedents are an unsafe guide in politics. Conditions never are twice alike. In 1890 and again in 1910 the country was highly wrought up against Republican tariff legisla tion, and the Democrats profited in the next presidential elections. In 1894 there were violent dissensions within the Democratic party over free silver and McKlnley triumphed two years later. In 1918 the coun try voted a personal protest against President Wilson and the feeling shattered his party's chances in 1920. Irrespective of Democratic organ isation of congress the outcome in 1932 la likely to be determined by economic conditions and the abdty of the Democrats to avoid major mis takes and present a united front. up to the lanvirjAL The automobile accident problem should be approached from the stand point that it is the individual driver's problem. All encouragement should be given to moves to modernize traffic codes and to pass laws requiring the ex amination of vehicles and drivers. These steps can save many lives, to say nothing, of thousands of dollars worth of property. But at the same time we must do our utmost to drive home to the individuaT the respon sibility that is his when he takes the wheel of a car and embarks upon the public streets and highways. It has been suggested that an honor code be created for drivers. If all drivers would seriously subscribe to it the ghastly toll cf deaths would drop over night. Not one fatal acci dent in ten is strictly unavoidable. In nine cases someone, h rough reckless ness, carelessness or incompetence, has erred. A life snuffed out is the result. A ton or two of metal, moving at high speed, represents a tremendous destructive force if it is mishandled. None of us would take a chance on putting a stick of dynamite in a fire or looking down the muzzle of a gun ftnd playing with the trigger. Tet hundreds of thousands of drivers do the motoring equivalents of these acts by going at excessive speeds on narrow or rough roads, by pass ing on curves, by cuttin gin and out in the face of oncoming traffic, by driving on the wrong side of the highway. Public opinion must be directed, with all its force, toward making the individual conscious of his duty, if tiie accident toll is to be materially checked. THE GLACIAL HAN Geologists, archaelogists, or what ever you call those fellows who are always prying into the pre-historic past, have asked science instructors in leading educational institutions to co-operate with- them in a search for traces of the "Glacial Man, who is believed to -have inhabited the Mississippi valley more than a mil lion years ago. It's an interesting form of re search, of course, and worthy of all commendation, but why worry about men who have been found dead more than "S million years when we have on our hands so many live ones who need, attention durine; these days of depression? If. perchance, while prowling around in the bowels of Mother Earth, we sfcOuld discover a "Glacial Man, it will be a pleasure to report it, but please don't insist that we put forh any exra "effort in such a quest. Just now we are . busily en gaged In trying to keep the well known and justly celebrated wolf from the door. -:o: A contemporary says that if Gar ner of Texas is elected next Speaker of the House, he will be the first Southern Democrat to hold that posi tion since the Celeveland administra tion when Chas. Crisp, of Georgia, was elevated to that honor. How about Champ Clark? Although from a state north of the Mason and Dixon line. Champ Clark was a native of Kentucky and the most typical South ern Democrat who ever held a prom inent place in the public life of the nation.

FIFSON TEE STORY WITH A 2I0&AL About the year 1841 a public of genteel taste and cambric etiquette uttered shrill protests against cer tain characterizations in that classi cal contribution Co literature, "Oliver Twist." In 1931 a bewildered public, hav ing the same fundamental rules of conduct, registers at least inward disapproval of the portrayal of evil through the literature, the legitimate theater and the motion picture of its day. Community groups pass resolu tions urging elimination of plays fall ing into the "gangster," "crime" or "sex" category. Tommy's mother, with reason, writes to her local news paper, deploring the use of whisky and revolvers in the performance which Tommy attended on Saturday afternoon. Mary's father takes ex ception to the prize novel which Mary is devouring, installment by install ment, in the Smalltown Messenger. More than a hundred independent owers of motion picture theaters, in convention in New York, go on re cord against gangster and salacious films. And when the multitudes of hu man beings, with their varying phil osophies and tastes, have condemned or condoned the literary and dra matic output of "modern" authors, does not the problem simmer down to what one owner of a group of thirty-six motion picture theaters designates as not the subject itself of a production so muca as the treat ment of the subject? In defending the acquaintances of Oliver Twist against the bewhiskered and the crinolined critics of 1841, their originator declared, in his "Preface to the Third Edition": It appeared to me that to draw a knot of such associates in crime as really do exist ... to show them as they really are, forever skulking uneasily through the dirtiest paths of life, with the great, black, ghastly gallows closing up their pros pects . . . would be to attempt a something which was greatly needed, and which would be a service to society. ... In every book I know, where such char acters are treated of at all. cer tain allurements and fascin ations are thorwn around them. In the endeavor to raise the stan dard of art and literature, is there not a distinction to be drawn between the unpleasant incident which serves but to enhance virtue or to assist in the development of an uplifting plot, and the "serving .of attractively gar nished vice as a titbit for the sensual, appetite? It is the fashion in certain literary circles to shrug the shoulders at any book or play which might be stig matized as conveying "a moral."

IT'S DOUSLt ACTING yet this very characteristic has help ed to perpetuate the virle and ele vating narratives wtih which the Book of books itself abounds. Dick ens, no doubt, were he writing in 1931, would invpke no little scorn by his admission, "I wished to show, in little Oliver, the principle of Good surviving through every adverse cir cumstance, and triumphing at last." As in that case, the underlying purpose of a book or play today usu ally shows through.
