jIURDERERS IN A MOB
The danger of the mob lies In
the letting down or individual
responsibility. It wasn't a de
sire to administer justice or pre
vent a recurrence of Warner's
crime which sent that mob
against tho jail. It was hate,
the same passion that engenders
any other murder. When you
had the real laders of that mob,
ycu will find men of not much
higher moral standards than the
man they murdered.
Those words were p.-.rt of Judge J.
V. Caddy's charge to the Buchanan
County grand jury that investigated
the lynching of Lloyd Warner, a
Negro, who was taken from the coun
ty jail in St. Joseph, Mo., and mur
dered by a mob on tho night of No
vember 28, last year. They attract
ed wide attention at the time. Now
their truth has just been strikingly
illustrated in another part of the
country.
Early this week. I). B. Napier, also
known as Frank Lockhait, was con
victed by a jury in Shreveport, La.,
and sentenced to death on a charge
cf having criminally attacked and
murd;red a young woman. Nearly
twenty years ago, Napier has confess
ed, he took part in the lynching of
Leo Frank at Marietta, Ga. Frank
also had been convicted of murder
ing a ycung wcrr.an. Napier, accord
ing to his ow:i story, was a member
of the mob that battered its way into
the prison where Frank was being
held, and then drove tho motor car
in which lie was taken to tho scene
of the lynching.
To add to the coincidence a mob
also tried to seize Napier in jail,
with the intention of lynching him,
but was foiled. The real leaders of
any mob, as Judge Gaddy remarked,
are not much better than their vic
tim. It would be hard to find a clear
er illustration than this echo of the
famous Leo Frank case affords. And
It might be noted that, although Na
pier had admitted his crime, Leo
Frank constantly maintained his own
Innocence, and when his case was ap
pealed to the United States supreme
court, two of its most distinguished
Justices, Charles Evans IIughe3 (now
chief Justice) and Oliver Wendell
Holmes, held that he had not had a
fair trial. Kansas City Times.

Neb., as second-cla6S mail matter
SURPRISING BIDS FOR
AIR MAIL CONTRACTS
Whether the postmaster general
erred or performed a useful public
service in cancelling the air mail con
tracts is still to be decided. A great
many have settled the question for
themselves, on an emotional basis,
and have concluded that Mr. Farley
blundered and must be condemned,
cr that he purged the government of
a source of corruption and is to be
admired.
Locked at realistically, the ques
tion is still open, and new factors
arise which bear upon it. One is the
cost of the service as performed by j
new bidders when it is resumed, in
comparison with what the
govern-j
ment nau Dccn m are nauitoi pajrng. ;
The first bids were cpened at Wash- i
ington, Friday, these being largely I
from new companies, although some j
were from old carriers reorganized
to meet the postoffiee's requirements.
On the whole, the bids were surpris
ing. The single bid on the hicago-Oak-land
route is 3D cents, as against an
average cost per airplane mile in
1933 cf C2 cents. The former cost
per mile on the Chicago-Billings run
was 53 cents; the bids on a corres
ponding Chicago Pembina route
range from 19.6 to 39 cents. Bids
on tho Chicago-Jacksonville route
range from 19 to 39 's cents, the old
average on a corresponding route be
ing 47 cents. The single new bid on
the New Ycrk-Chicago route is 39
cents against the 1933 average of 50
cents. To Dallas irom Chicago the
old rate averaged 54 cents a mile,
and the new bids for this business
run from 22 ", cents to 39.9 cents.
Bids on a Chicago-New Orleans route
range between 17 Y2 cents to 39
cents; the eld rate paid for the Chicago-Memphis
run was 50 cents.
The equipment and financial re
sponsibility of some cf the new com
panies are yet to be examined, and
Mr. Farley makes it clear at ence
that the lowest bid will not be ac
cepted without assurances of ability
to perform. If these assurances are
forthcoming, it is evident he will
have the mail flown for considerably
less than the department had been
paying. Whether cancelling the old
contracts was the best or the only
way to arrive at this result is debat
able. If the result is achieved, it is a
factor historians will be called cn to
weigh in deciding whether Mr. Far
ley is a monumental blunderer or a
practical public servant. Detroit

THERE'S INTEREST IN
WORK WITH THE HANDS
Dr. Robert A. Mill-Kan, the great
scientist on Monday expressed his
opinion that the garage man who
tinkers with automobiles ha3 "as in
teresting a job as exists on this
earth."
Plenty is raid in poetry about man
ual toilers, but a large part of the
population manages to kep a line
drawn this side of the sweat and j
grime that usually go with it.
News rcpotrs from Moscow tell of
two women from New York's Social
Register using a pick and shovel all
day in helping build Moscow's new
subway, along with many other Am
ericans. It seems entirely, possible that if;
ycu scratched many a corporation
president and many a dowager you
wcuid find a handicraftsman at
heart. Only Henry Ford, Thomas
Edison and a few of their like have
managed to go to work in a shop in
the morning and return home to a
palaco in the evening.
hTo earthy instinct is deep in vir
tually every human being. Is it es
sentially and fundamentally any
more respectable or mere intellectu
ally advanced, for example to slave
at drawing up legal briefs than to
labor in locating the trouble in en

WHY EE PESTERED
At this season of the year we find
a largs number of ITINERANT PED
DLERS calling from house-to-house
endeavoring to sell their wares. It is
spring, the roads are good and it is
easy for these Itinerants to move
from one city to another.
There have been several CREWS
of Peddlers operating in our midst
cf late they are here today and
gone tomorrow. Then another GANG
invades the community trying their
sales arguments , using their free
sample:; and special bargains on the
housewife in the hope of securing an
order.
They are peddling practically ev
ery class of merchandise underwear
for feminine wear yes, even ready-to-wear
frocks can you imagine se
curing the desired fit by ordering a
dress from a sample swatch of ma
terial and a picture of "how it will
look." It's hard enough to step right
into a garment that fits perfectly in
one cf our readyto-wcar stores whore
there is a stock carried on the racks
for your inspection and fitting at the
time of selection.
If the housewife answered the door
every time to the summons of the j :inj Republicans as well as Democrats
Peddlers she would be weary by night , .;r ve f upport to the President's exten
and possibly not in any too good hu- I program. Rut this situation had
mor at ujot time-
And the lure with which their.
hool. is baited is the eld time often j
disprovcd argUment that they can j
.Wnwr ti.- thn i.i. - i hu 1
sell cheaper thai; the local bu. dness
rms. Time and time again the gul-
lible buyer has learned the expensive
lesson that the "cheap goods" were
of INFERIOR QUALITY OF WORK
MANSHIP and was not satisfactory.
Besides once a purchase is made from
tho Peddler it is not an easy task to
get an exchange- when same is not
satisfactory as in most every case it
has to go BACK TO THE MILLS and
you are required to again wait several
days, sometimes weeks before you
have the merehandis ordered, and
then it might not be just what you
ordered in which case you most like
ly keep it rather than go to the trou
ble and delay cf another exchange
experience.
In the Journal we are carrying a
series cf articles to acquaint the buy
ing public as to the Peddlers Wares
Service and Methods of doing
Business especially pointing out
the FACTS which should convince
Every llcuewife and Thrifty Shopper
that merchandise bought from the
peddlers m NOT "as cheap as the
Peddlers would like to have you be
lieve" due to the fact that thera are
MANY COMMISSIONS to be paid on
every order.
IF you have been stung on Ted
dlers wares you know that it was
NOT always the merchandise values .
that interested you and induced you j
to prchase, but it was the salesman's
Glib Tongue that relieved you ot the ;
CASH DEPOSIT IN ADVANCE on
your order.

TUGWELL UNMASKED
AS A CONSERVATIVE
Prof. Tugwcil's speech to the
newspaper editors at Washington !
must have seemed to them something j
like the point at a masquerade ball
when everybody takes oil' his false
face. Herd was the man w ho had !
been accused in congress and else-
where of being the arch-plotter be-I
hind the throne, forever devising i
new ways of breaking down and i
transforming our social and govern-
mental institutions. But he seised i
the occasion to declare: "I ur.hesi-;
tatingly avow myself a thorough con
servative." Nor was this said in jest,
or as a mere trick of words. Prof.
Tugwell went on to exalt and in-
corse the rugged individualism of
the American character:
"We will net do what we do not
want to do, and coercion cannot
make us. Vo can be fooled,- but not
for long. Wo have a saving irrever
ence of authority. No one with the
slightest sense of history would try
to fit such a people into a regiment
ed scheme. I do not believo that
people can be complld to do for long
anything that is alin to their nation
al character, and I dot believe that
there are any cafe compulsions which
may be used on human nature."
Could any despised "reactionary"
or tory go further than this?
For the rest, Prof. Tugwell's ad
dress was in excellent temper. In
stead of resenting criticism of the
administration, he invites it, and re
grets that it did net begin earlier.
About the various experraents under
the new deal he is cautious and mod
est. He told his hearers that only a
beginning had been made. Immense
difficulties lie ahead and a long time I
wiil be required to surmount them.
Utopia i3 nowhere in sight.
"At the most optimistic estimate
we shall end the year we are in with
millions of unemployed. Thero will
be millions even, who will not have
had a steady job for three years or
perhaps more. And this in spite of
all our work and ingenuity."
It is on the basi3 of this outlook
that Prof. Tugwell asks for patience
and co-operation. He especially de
sires the aid of the press in letting
the people know all the facts so that
they may decide, in accordance with
the American tradition, what the
government ought to do. It is cer
tain that newspapers throughout the
land will appreciate and applaud this
unmasking of Prof. Tugwell done
by himself. New York Times.

THE TASK OF AN
OPPOSITION PARTY
It is time, as Representative Snell,
Republican hou-e loader, suggests,
for the Republican party to begin
to exercise its functions as a real
opposition party.
Iv the emergency of the last year
raMy lines were properly submerged,
its hole.-ome side. The program
Vi.,s -lot subjected to the searching
c.,.j Lj( j;.m that would have revealed in
ailvance certain unworkable features
,i;ui prevented certain avoidable mis-
takes.
But in reasserting their proper
function as critics. Republican lead
ers many easily fall into serious mis
lakes. They need to exercise care to
avoid aligning themselves with the
reactionary interests that were dis
ei edited in the crazy dcade leading
up to the depression. They should
;-hrw discrimination in their criti
cism. Blanket denunciation will get
them nowhere except with a small
g:t,up. The good features of the new
utal as well a3 the bad should be
recognized. Blindly partisan opposi
tion will be futile.
The most difficult task confront
ing the opposition party at this time
is to offer constructive alternative
proposals. "What would you have
done?" will be the question put to
the leaders.
The answer will put their intel
ligence and resourcefulness to the
test. There are constructive meas
ures rejected in the new deal that
could be put forward to correct evils
that had grown up and to hasten re
covery. But" so fjer these nave re
ceived little attention. Possibly as
the campaign develops, leaders may
arise who will outline and urge a
constructive program that will ap-
to lhe CO;nmon sense of the
country. The absence of such out-
standing leaders is perhaps the ma-
jor weakness of t he Republican party
tcday.

CURBING FREE SPEECH
It is, to the credit of tho American
Civil Liberties Union that it h
aligned itself against a bill passed
by the New Jen:ey assembly intend
ed to make Na::i propaganda trim
inal. The measure, due to go before
the New-Jersey senate on Monday or
Tuesday, makes it a crime to publish
statements "tending to subject any
groups to prejudice, shame, hatred,
ridicule, disgrace or contempt by
reason of race, color o
creed or manner cf worship." At the
same time it makes it a misdemeanor
to utter statements tending to lo
men L domestic strife or to disturb
domestic tranquility.
It nereis littie prompting to see
that ouch a mer.sure opens the way
to restrictions cn the right of free
speech and assembly. It can be
twisted to prcccnt cr io punish criti
dsn: of public affairs. It can be used
to stific the free expression of per
sonal opinion on all manner of ques
tions. As such, it runs counter to
American traditions and should be
cactcd into law.
We here in the United States have
had so much unofficial interference
with the free expression of opinion
that we cannot but dread the pas
sage of legislation seeking to place
formal curbs on this right. As a mat
ter cf fact, the successful stifling of
discussion of public questions dur
ing the first year of the new deal has
given us a taste of the evils that re
sid in attempts to restrict open dis
cussion. The growing intolerance of
free speech in Europe makes it all
the more important that Americans
do not give way to the mania for eup
pression. The New Jersey asembly is
setting a bad example. Editorial

A YEAR AGO AND NOW
THERE'S A DIFFERENCE
A year ago, the average of bond
prices stood at 64. A year before
that the figure was 66. There was
danger that bonds might collapse.
Bonds are the country's first mort
gages, the form in which the most
carefully conserved savings are kept.
Bonds collapsed, all savings collapse,
all credits collapse. Today the aver
age price of bonds is rising toward
90. A ship men feared a year ago
would sink is sailing safely into port.
A year ago the average value of
stocks, as figured by Standard Sta
tistics, was represented by the fig
ure 51. Now the average rises near
to DO. Another ship which seemed
not long about about to sink, is con
fidently riding the waves.
A year ago cotton growers were
getting only 6 cents for their crop.
They are getting twice that now.
Wheat growers get a half more than
a year ago. A little more than a
year ago it looked as if producers
might soon be getting nothing at all
for the products of their labor.
Where the average price level a
year ago was S9, today it is rising to
$1.40. Employment ccrresponcling-j
ly increased.
A year ago we were lean and sick
enough to be patient and submis
sive. Now we are waxing fat enough

REX TUGWELL HAKES
SIGNIFICANT REPLY
Rexford G. Tugwell has made the
most significant rpcech by cr for the
administration in months. It was
fitting that he should make answer
to the hullabaloo raised about a
"brain trust."
The very criti:3 who cry "Regi
mentation" have not made so clear
an explanation cf why it is impossible
to "regiment" the American people
and would be foolish to try.
"The core cf the American tradi
tion is to be found in a kind of de
fiance to fate. We will net do what
we do not want to do end coercion
cannot make us. We can be fooled
but not for long. We have a prec
ious inventiveness which gets cut of
holes. We have a saving irreerence
of authority. . . . No one with the
slightest sense of history would try
to fit such a people into a regiment
ed scheme."
A man who thus describes the Am
erican character is to be reckoned
with. If such ar the brains of the
"brain trusters," they will be able
to gie answer answer to the amaz
ing charge that we should not have
brains in our government a strange
charge surely for men who protest
their veneration cf Washington, Jef
ferson, Hamilton and Lincoln.
Mr. Tugwell's answer is emphatic.
"No one could be found a year ago
who wanted to stop everything. Now
there are a noisy few who want to
go back to 1929." "Time will tell,"
he says, "which in these times is the
best American those who believe
that the racketeering, tho financial
juggling the exploitation of workers
and consumers must be ended once
for all ... or those who believe it
more important that come few in
siders should be allowed to mani
pulate materials, natural resources
and social institutions for their own
good at the expense of all the rest."
There is a fair setting forth of the
aims of the administration. It is
agreed that exploitation had gone
too far. Those who led it do not
deny that. Instead they cry out that
the ways chosen to correct the abuses
are "experiment" are "un-American,"
are any label which may appeal to
prejudice.
"Industrial experimentation," says
Mr. Tugwell, "has made men's liv
ings insecure. It came to the point
where even a good farmer, cultivat
ing fertile soil efficiently, could not
succeed, where very few workers
over 40 were employable, where un
employment was growing yearly even
in prosperity."
In such a situation, change was
bound to come. A reforming of come
kind was inevitable. One alterna
tive was the kind cf reforming Eu
rope is experiencing with the result
that "over 350 million people who
thought they were free 15 years ago
are now living under some kind of
dictatorship."
The other alternative i3 the kind
of reform attempted by the new deal,
not now in final form surely, but an
attempt to limit abuse and secure
to the men who produce wealth a
fairer share under our American
system.
The Roosevelt creed insiat3 on
democracy in a nation which has
known no other form. The men who
resist anything that attempts a limit
on exploitation are not conservative;
they would not save anything dear
to American ideals; they would steer
our course for some form of fascist
dictatorship. Milwaukee Journal.
