KANSAS AT HER BEST
SETTING AN EXAMPLE
Singularly, it is one of the func
tions of Kancas to set the rest of the
country an example. It is as exemplar
that Kansas is at her best.
Speaking before the Advertising
Federation of America this week, Sen
ator Capper of Kansas denounced
what he characterized as a wide
spread campaign to defeat the recov
ery program of President Roosevelt.
The very next day, William Allen
White, a very luminary among the
dry.-, decried the idea that a few of
the states should seek to defeat re
peal of the Eighteenth amendment
when the majority want it.
Tho Kansas senator said he had
rupported the recovery program, and
he had no apologies to make for hav
ing done so. It i3 difficult to see how
he could have had any apologies to
make for having done so. On the next
dny after the senator spoke at De
troit, the secretary of agriculture,
Mr. Wallace, announced at Topeka
that 20 million dollars of ..-ral
money will be distributed this year
an.ont; Kansas wheat gorwers alone
If there i.- a widespread movement
to defeat the recovery program, we
do not look to see it accomplish much
in Kansas.
As a matter or za.cz, we have not
discovered that there is any greater
opposition to the recovery program
than was to be expected. Governor
Pi::chot of Pennsylvania says the
new deal has dealt out the rich and
lieait in me poor, mere are some
reservations to that, but in the main
it is true that power has passed from
the handj of tho one into the hands
cf the other. It is withal a peaceful
revolution.
The Nation very truly says thati
Mr. Roosevelt has in
four months
r.cc3mpli3hed a larger and better
rounded out program of progressive
legislation than any other president
within the century has accomplished
in four years.
Senator Capper's constituency lies
in a part of the country where it
mates a great deal of difference if
tli2 government - Is being run for the
benefit of the great industrialists and
barkers or for the benefit of the peo
ple. The senator knows what that
difference is, and he is a good enough
sportsman to give credit where credit
13 tins. It happens that he is a re
publican, but he is first a senator
from Kansas.
As for Editor White, he wastes lit
tle time lamenting for lost causes.
He has had hi3 horse shot from un
der him several times in the battle
of life, but he has never lost either
hi- martial spirit cr his love of fair
ness. We lift a stein to Kansas. St.

conserve the supply until the dis
tilleries catch up, we should issue
only to the more temperate states
first. The more, heavily drinking
states, like New York, Pennsylvania
and Illinois, could wait a few years
for theirs, which they will no doubt
be glad to do, seeing as it's for the
best interests of the whole country.
:o:
MAKE IT HOT FOR
THE RACKETEERS
"Gangsters," says the United
States attorney .general, "will find
many things stirring this summer."
What seems to be predicted is an ab
normally hot season for gang and
racketeering leaders. The govern
ment is to get into the picture, to
bolster up and supplement the activ
ities of state and' local authorities.
The attorney general makes the
definite promise that "this is a big.
persistent campaign and not a spor
adic drive." It is to be a showdown
between government and its enemies,
"and the govern mnt will win."
Fine. The country would like to
see it. Ths gangsters and racketeers
nave assumea an arrogance and a
self-confidence that challenge author
ity. They can be cleaned out. Every
body else wants it done. Joseph B.
Keenan, a Cleveland lawyer exper
ienced in crime campaigns, ha3 been
made assistant attorney general to
direct the federal move against
racketeers. His plans are to be formu-
lated definitely, but he is certain now
that "if you strike at the intelligent
gangland leadership and stamp that
out, you are no the way, decidedly,
to Dreaiting aown tne whole gang
system." It is the "big shots," then.
that are to be brought in.
They are strongly fortified, and it
will be a tough battele. Mr. Keenan
indicates that a part of the racket
eering support comes from members
of hi3 own profession, racketeering
profits being what they are and the
big fellows in the game being able
to employ the most skillful legal as
sistancc. Just now, for example,
counsel for Waxey Gordon, New York
racketeer and gangster, intimates
that Al Capone might be free if he
had had the "right kind" of legal
aid. So the ramifications of racketeer
?hg arc wide and deep. Into its
clutches have been brought one- busi
ness after another in the big cities.
It is linked up with gangland, some
times with politics. That's th ehal
lnge to government, and to national
security. Kansas City Star. . .
"THEY ASKED FOR IT"
Once more the American people
are reminded that they have a presi
dent who knows his own mind and
who is able to speak it with unmis
takable clarity, when the occasion
demands.
Tho gold bloc at the world eco
nomic conference created that kind
of occasion, when they insisted upon
a categorical answer to their demand
that the American collar be immed
iately stabilized in terms of foreign
exchange which would incidentally
involve unlocking the door and
throwing the American gold reserve
again open to European raids. The
American delegation undertook in
the customary diplomatic way to ex
press a denial and to get the confer
ence at work on the important
articles of its agenda on which an
agreement is possible. But the gold
bloc would not take a diplomatic no
for an answer. They wanted a defln
ite statement from the president and
thratened to wreck the conference if
it were not affirmative.
They received their answer in an
emphatic and unmistakable NO from
Mr. Roosevelt. "I do not relish the
thought," said the president, "that
insistence on such action should bo
made the excuse for continuance of
the basic cconomi errors that under
lie so much of the present world
wide depression." In the language
of the American street, "they asked
for it."
Now that they have it they com
plain that Mr. Roosevelt was not
polite. Walter Lippmann, listening
to their complaint, is inclined to side
with them. "He has chosen," said
Mr. Lippmann, "to speak loudly and
harshly."
That he has spoken loudly there
can be no manner of doubt. A child
could understand precisely what he
was saying. It was a new. language
for diplomacy, a language meant to
reveal thought instead of the lan
guage which the cynic, has described
as meant to conceal thought.
That an ultimate stabilization of
all exchanges is both desirable and
necessary to the fullest play of for
eign trade is conceded. That the
American dollar will participate in
such a program of stabilization, when
the purpose of the present' program
of controlled inflation has been ac
complished goes without saying. But
the president 13 not to be coerced into
premature action to suit Europe even
as a condition to securing action on
more pressing probWms of world
economics, so tfear to"' his heart.
If the statement was harsh, it was
no harsher than the uncompromis
ing insistence of the gold bloc dele
gates called for. If it was impolite.
It was impolite only in that it pass
ed the buck right back to the bloc
and put upon the shoulders of that
group the burden of responsibility
for the failure of tho conference, if
temporary adjournment may be
termed a failure.
Of one thing the people of this
country may be assured. America at
the conference is no . lamb among
wolves. It has sent a delegation to
co-operate in some plan for break
ing down the barriers which have all
but stifled foreign trade. It is ready
and anxious to give its be3t efforts
to the accomplishment of such re
sults. But if other nations are de
termined to use the conference for
the furtherance of purely selfish na
tional aims, then tho guiding spirit of
American participation at Washing
ton is there to say them nay. The
United States will join a procession
for world recovery in which every
body i3 in line. But it is in no tem
per to play Red Cross to the rest of
the world.
If America must work its way out
of the depression single handed, It
can do so. World-Herald.

ON THE WAY OUT
Persons interested in social jus
tice have long dreamed of the day
when child labor would be elimin
ated from industry, perhaps by action
of the states, perhap3 by ratification
of the child labor amendment or by
congressional vote. Few could have
been so imaginative as to vision the
day when it would be done by agree
ment among the employers them
selves. Yet this i3 about to happen
in the cotton textile industry, long
a viciou3 field of exploitation, and
the portent3 are good for similar
action in other lines. It is the indus
trial recovery act that has mado this
possible. Secretary Perkins made the
fuggestion, and Administrator John
son presented it for acceptance by
the textile men as part of their gov
erning code. After some skirmish
ing, a majority of them agreed to it.
Industry's self-dsicipline is pref
erable to legislative enactment in
this matter. Strict adherence to the
code will make statutory action un
necessary, cave for those fields of in
dustry thta cannot be reached under
the recovery act. Since about 4 per
cent cf the workers In southern cot
ton mills are under 16, with about
half that percentage in the north,
the effect of eliminating these young
workers should be speedily felt. Edu
cational and health standards will
improve, and more work will be pro
vided for adult's. ,. 1
Other industries that use child
labor mining, canning and several
branches of manufacturing have
not yet presented their codes, but the
child labor provision should appear
In all of them. With the initial step
taken, and with the prospect of bet
ter conditions likely to result, it Is
no exaggeration to say that child
labor is on its way out. St. Louis

REMARKABLE SUMMARY
OF FOURTEEN WEEKS
The end of the special session of
coneress found a bold man in the
White house. It was Roosevelt's firm
ness in the face of a formidable con
gressional rebellion that scored his
final victory. The curtain falls on
the 14 swift weeks since congress
met, with the president the acknowl
edged master.
It was with a leap that tho presi
dent took the presidential chair on
March 4. The view at Washington
since has been as though crossed high
tension wires were flashing there.
What a review!
Economy to balance the budget
the cause of the closing flares; farm
relief and farm mortgage financing;
emergency banking relief, followed
by general banking law revision
with guarantee of depositors' bal
ances given; currency inflation and
the withdrawal from the gold basis;
stern regulation of future stock and
bond flotations; the "recovery" in
dustrial law. reaching out to aid
every great industry, and accompan
ied by provision! for public works
amounting to nearly three billion
500 millions; a special taxing plan
for supporting the new expenditures
the .necessary though hateful corol
lary; - these and -the home mortgage
bill, expected to help hard beset
owners of homes, are among the ma
jor entries in -the fast completed re
cord.
Many are instances of completed
action and many more involve ces
sion to the president by congress of
such discretions as no president, in
peace times, has possessed. The fail
ure to push'on for downward tariff
revision becomes the one instance of
large concesslonmade to opposition
in eongrpss
The remarkable summary deserves
full recognition. It requires acknowl
edgment, too, that, as Roosevelt drove
ahead, conditions began to improve
A time ' now comes, with congress
usefully out of the picture. We shall
more clearly see" the president at
work and may more accurately judge
the results. The test of many of
the great undertakings thus launch
ed, of course, depends upon their suc
cess in operation. Detroit News.

GOING INTO DEBT
' FOR SPECULATION
"Shall I borrow?" The editor of
a financial advice service raises the
question, and answers that he was
brought up never to borrow except
to ray for goods being manufactured
or in transit. In particular, to bor
row for speculation was in his early
training "the unpardonable sin."
In looking around for counsel that
may be offered, it seems to us, this
adviser has hit upon a pretty sen
sible formula. In these days when
the sacurity markets are leaping like
mountain goats from crag to loftier
crag, it is common sense that a great
many people are going to get their
fingei-3 burned.
But ycu cannot say to people
merely, "Don't buy; it is risky." For
then, when some things go higher
and some folks make profits, they can
turn on you for false counsel
What you can point out is that the
man who borrows to speculate on
risine values is hpttine that he is
smarter than the man or men from
whom he borrows. He thinks he can
make big money where they are try
ing for perhaps 6 per cent. Yet any
dollar he makes, someone else loses.
He has to be smarter than the lender,
smarter than the nine out of 10 specu
lators who turn ' im .losers. Or else
be has to pay back his wasted bor
rowings out of slow earnings, and
that is very unpleasant.
These days markets are rising, and
there is evidence that a good many
people'who played and lost in 1927
and '28 and '29 are eagsr to try again,
convinced that they know what their
trouble was and will be smarter this
time. All anyone can say to them is
that if they, don't jknow about the
things: they are buyjng. they haven't
any smartness, but; only a , chance
for . luck luck; that; punishes nine,
or more likely 99, for every one she
rewards. Milwaukee ' Journal.

A NEW DECLARATION
OF INDEPENDENCE
"When in the course ot human
events, it becomes necessary" for the
president of the United States to sup
port the well-being of his country
at the risk of giving offense to its
neighbors, it is to be hoped that the
president, whoever he may be, will
issue just such another Declaration
of Independence as Franklin D.
Roosevelt did not wait for the Fourth
of July to proclaim.
President Roosevelt did not make
the mistake of attending the Lon
don economic conference la me role
of savior of the world. He sent his
delegates from both political parties,
and he stayed home, keeping his fin
ger on the pulse of his country. That
pulse has been beating more strongly
of late, as the nation returns to eco
nomic health. The president is re
solved that no decisions shall be tak
en at London, to which thi3 ocuntry
is a party, which will threaten our
full and complete recovery.
That rehabilitation, according to
the president's theory, depends on a
continued rise in prices until the
dollar is worth in exchange for goods
and services, what it wa3 worth in
the prosperous days when business
was going strong, Jobs were easy 10
get, and it looked as if good times
might last forever, as the republicans
predicted they would. That price in
crease again according to the presi
dent's theory which is also that of
his economic advisers, depends on
the divorce of the dollar from gold;
upon the control of currency by some
other method than the par exchange
of paper for gold at the banks and
at the treasury. He realizes, of
course, that while the dollar cannot
be exchanged for gold, and is liable
to dally fluctuation on the interna
tional money markets, our foreign
trade is beset with difficulties. But
he also realizes that our business is
95 per cent domestic; that the de
mands for the pegging of the dollar
come from the gold standard coun
tries abroad and are acquiesced in,
in this country, chiefly by interna
tional bankera and traders in ex
change; and that our rising opti
mism and general business improve
ment should not and must not be
risked for the sake of the convenience
of a small fraction of our financiers
and business men.
Presi dent. Roosevelt has served no
tice to Europe that under his cap
tainship this nation i3 going to stick
to its course ;and he recommends a
similar, course to " the rest of the
world. He tells countries that fear
for their currencies to balance their
budget. The French budget this year
is unbalanced by four billion francs
because the French parliament re
fused to cut expenses or increase
taxes by that amount. He tells coun
tries that clamor for the restoration
of foreign trade to stop fighting one
another with embargoes and quota
schemes and other restrictions, let
goods flow. But above all, let the na
tions balance their budgets and live
within their means. When this has
been successfully accomplished, and
not till then, "we can properly dis
cuss a better distribution of the
world's gold and silver supply to act
as a reserve base of national curren
cies." It is idle to put the cart before
the horse; useless to talk about in
ternational stabilization when it
may be upset almost before it is ac
complished by some nation falling
victim to an unbalanced budget and
finding itself unable to support its
currency.
President Roosevelt "exploded
bombshell." He "stunned" the par
ley. So be it. He merely said, in
Dlain language that could not be
misunderstood, that the United States
is not going to be made a monkey to
pull any cat's chestnuts out of Uie
fire. The United States will gladly
co-operate in any general movement,
well-considered and sound, to help
the world, but America will not
sacrifice or surrender her own in
terests.
The president's new declaration of
independence lends rpice to our holi
day; it gives us something present
nd modern to celebrate. Detroit

REASON FOR SPEEDY
REPEAL AND REVENUE
More than 10 million dollars
monthly revenue is coming into the
United States treasury as the fiscal
year closes merely from the legalized
sale of 3.2 per cent beer. This is a
yearly rate of 120 million dollars
a goodly sum.
- But, remember, this is from beer
J-alone. Repeal of the Eighteenth
amendment, lifting the ban from
wines and spirit and permitting beer
of higher alcoholic content will mean
federal revenue estimated at $1,500,-
000,000. Put these figures alongside
the current federal deficit of $1,750,
000,000 and realize the compelling
argument for speedy repeal.
Remember also what President
Roosevelt said in his message to con
gress on public works and reemploy
ment taxes:
"Whenever the repeal of the
Eighteenth amendment now
pending before the states shall
have been ratified and the repeal
of the Volstead act effected the
pre-prohibition revenue laws
would then automatically go into
effect and yield enough wholly
to eliminate these temporary
re-employment taxes."
When facts and figures thus plain
ly show what repeal will do toward
reducing deficits and easing tax bur
dens for the people of the entire na
tion why should any state choose to
dwadle or delay over the process of
ratification?
Self-interest as well as patriotism
demands that each and every state
shall ratify as speedily as its laws
will permit.
h.y don't Montana, Missouri,
Florida and Utah, for example, get
busy and fix their voting days?
Why shouldn't other states bestir
themselves to find special legal means
by which they can vote and call con
ventions before the end of the pres
ent year?
We think President Roosevelt
might well broadcast to the country
a reminder that present conditions
and impending tax load3 make it the
duty of a state to hasten its action
for repeal.
It is possible for at least 37 states
to have acted before January 1 next.
Sixteen have already voted for repeal
