THE POST-DEMOCRAT FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1937.

Signs Of The Times * # « Comments, Politically and Otherwise, on Present-Day * Topics

People have the habit of making reprisals and not all of them are at the polls, For example, newspapers and magazines w T hich go against the will of the majority usually pay for it. Many of the metropolitan dailies which were so bitter against President Roosevelt last campaign have lost circulation to their pro-Roosevelt competitors. On the contrary, the New York Post, one of the largest newspapers which supports the President, has made decided gains in subscribers. The Saturday Evening Post is reported to be paying heavily for its reactionarism. At any rate, The Post stations a young woman in leading drug stores and nevstands in Ipdianapolis every Thursday to accost customers and ask them to buy a Post. This is a costly way to build up its lost circulation. And its lost prestige. The young women hear some bitter things said against The Post’s anti-Roosevelt policy. Lieut. Gov. James H. Price of Virginia won the nomination for Governor recently with a recordbreaking majority. ^Iie vote was about eight to one. The significant thing is that Mr. Price is an outspoken pro-Roosevelt New Deal Democrat. His victory, therefore, is a thorn in the side of the Old Dominion's political machine, operated by Senators Carter Glass and Harry Byrd, two politicians wdio have steadfastly opposed Mr. Roosevelt except when they went home to garner votes for re-elec-tion. Mr. Price’s overwhelming ■vfctory in the heart of southern conservatism should send a shudder through Senators who have fought Roosevelt and are coming up for re-election this year. When Postmaster ~ General Farley told Democrats at Akron. O., the other day that there would not be any administration reprisals against Senator? who opposed thp judicial reform bill, he probably had in mind the results of the Virginia primary. The yoiters san h? trtBtef ed to deal ..properly > ( wifli pplitioians who jraveV'bmb^Me^ - their ballots.

The summer meeting of the Democratic editors will be held at French Lick, Aug. 27 and 28. This famous spa, built by the late Senator Thomas T. Taggart, is very dear to the hearts of Democrats. Once when the editors were meeting at Bloomington some years back. Tom Taggart invited the entire group to come to his French Lick hotel as his guests. His son. Thomas D. Taggart, is carrying on the generostiy of his father. In these days of mounting costs, he has 'giverr the editors and their political friends a rate of $6 a day, American plan. Young Tom Taggart is talking a lot about his four-year-old filly, Marcia, which won the Crete Handicap at Lincoln Fields, Chicago, recently. Marcia coming from behind, scored in track record time of six furlongs in 1:10 2-5. Her brilliant performance raised her to top honors among the nation’s fillies, the race being her six win in eight starts. It added $2,330 to her earnings, increasing them to $11,470.

Two Indiana counties hit the hardest by the depression were Howard and Lake counties. The reason: They were principally industrial centers. New Kokomo, the county seat of Howard, is booming again. The latest cheering news is that Chrysler Corporation is to spend $450,000 to remodel one of the idle Haynes factory buildings. Auditor Joseph E. Finerty’s announcement that Lake county’s finances on August 1 ware the best they’ve been since the depression tells the story of business recovery in the Calumet region. This year, Finerty said, all of Lake county’s five funds have surpluses, the first time for several years one or more of them hasn’t had a deficit. Regardless of all this, there are die-Tiard Tory newspapers in Kokomo, Gary and Hammond constantly pounding away at Roosevelt.

Democratic leaders are definite ly concerned about the diminishing number of party newspapers in Indiana. Within the last few weeks a Democratic daily and a Democratic w-eekly have fallen into the hands of the enemy. At Princeton the Republican ClarionNews bought out The Daily Democrat, while at New- Albany the defunct Ledger w-as gobbled up by The Tribune, an extremely partisan Republican paper. For more than four years the Democrats have been in pow-er in Indiana, yet the Democratic press has gradually grow-n w-eaker in number. Every political party know's the value of a strong press. The Republican papers gained a strong footing in Indiana during the long years of G. O. P. rule, and with the trend in the newspaper field toward consilidations. Many of the Democratic papers seem financially unable to buy out, their rival. Every party paper that falls into Repubiican hands is a distinct loss to the Democratic party. More honor—and more work— come to Senator Sherman Minton. One of the important committees is that charged w-ith inquiry into the lobbys at the Capital, the perniciuos men who w-ork against public interest and whose dollars and entertainment replace jfcid^ment. It is Minton’s new job to inyestigate these lobbyists and ex-

pose them. Senator Black, before appointment to the Supreme Court, made a great record along this line. He had a reputation as a cross-ex-aminer and the men he summoned failed to hide the effects of their activities. His elevation places Minton as chairman of the committee. There were be a number of committee' sessions before Congress meets again and friends of Minton expect him to be able to ferret out the public enemies who infest the capital building. His ow r n record in defending the people against utility companies in the state and reducing charges was outstanding, His experience there will be of benefit in his new job, for among the lobbys kept in Washington, one of the most active is that of the utility companies. News of his elevations to this post is bad news for the utilities, but good news for the people.

Huge Wheeler Dam Is Completed

Caring for the insane, the feeble minded and the epileptics is a tremendous responsibility for the State of Indiana. And the cost is startling. Taxpayers w-ho grumble about paying out so much money for support of the state seldom stop to think where the money is spent. But getting back to the institutions for mental cases, Indiana has eight of them. In these institutions are a total of 11,123 patients, of which 5,580 are male and 5,543 are female. In the penal andcorrectional institutions there are 6,591 inmates. Of this number only 413 are women and 6,178 are men or boys. In. the mental and penal institutions are a total of 19,714 persons, or a thousand more persons than in the entire city of Logansport.

THE PRESIDENT SPEAKS

“It can hardly be doubted that the people are restive under the slow and uncertain processes of the law-.” This w-as the President’s comment when he signed the measure w'hich reorganizes the low r er courts. It was his reply to those who tyave fougbt the reform of the Supreme Court. For the dispute was not only slow-ness, but the uncertainness of count decision. When Congress passed New- Deal legislation, the people had' td w-ait for months before the court mMIe up its mind. The chance; of . course, was that it would be declared .pncpnsitutional of the majoi’ity of ffiat? court did hot agi'ee wdth ifr-ip .policies. The. court becamfe law makers, not law interpreters. The history of the court w'as not such as to give the people confidence in its wisdom or sincerity. The reversal by the court of a former decision within a year and buy the same judges on the Wagner Act took from the court the vestige of dignity and respect. The Justices revealed themselves as makers of law-s. They held the veto power over any law passed by Congress. Of little use to the people was the long .and difficult way of obtaining a majority of Congress. Usually the court required years. Then, when thfe bill was finally passed by Congress, the Supreme court delcared it unconstitutional. The judges interpreted it—not in the light of today—but in the light of the past. Modern life travels much faster. To those who raise the cry of dictatorship, the answer is that we have dictatorship by the dead hand of the past. It forbids change. It holds the veto ever the elected representatives of the peopl. From that situation, there has been no escape.

PRIZE FIGHTS TOP ALL RADIO PROGRAMS

A prize fight is not regarded as the most important, educational, social, sporting or human event of the times. But prize fights appear to draw listeners from about one-half the population of the United States, w-hich is far in excess of any, and all other classes of broadcasts except of course the President’s fire-side talks. There are thirty million radio receving sets in the United States, according to official statistics. Radio broadcasting stations are able to compute the number of receiving sets turned on to receive any program, through accurate registry of the increase of power. Wttiolly dependable methods enable the radio stations to verify the number of receiving sets in use by a survey of a big time broadcast as it progresses. When King Edward broadcast his “swan song” the listening audience in the United States was 40 to 50 per cent—whereas bjg prize fights have far exceeded even that big audience. Great football games and top commercial and musical programs do not get such w-hooper audiences. o A VACATION AT HOME.

* For those who have been unable to take a vacation luring the summer, the Baltimore Sun suggests that it is not yet too late to have all Uie thrills of a summer resort right at home. Here is how it may be done: Move into the smallest badroom in your house; if possible one immediately over the kitchen. If your bed is soft and downy, put a couple of bricks in it. Dig a hole in the garden, get into it and cover yourself up to the neck. When you get tired of this diversion, wash yourself off with the garden hose. Don’t have any clothes washed for two Veeks. Sit on a rough board in the hot sun and hold a baited fishing line in your hand. If you wish to take a quiet nap in the afternoon, put. a radio next.

Here is an excellent view of the newly-completed $35,000,000 Wheeler dam near Chattanooga. Tenn., part of the Tennessee Valley Author- 1 tty system designed to provide cheap power and irrigation for th®’ » vicinity*

CURBEXPORTSOF WAR MATERIAL Measure Will Be Introduced In Congress To Stop Shipments Washington, Sej/t. 10.—-Chairman Sam D .McReynolds of the house foreign affairs committee announces he would push legislation at the next session of congress to curb exports of American steel and scrap iron, now pouring in near record volume into foreign w r ar machines. The announcement followed revelation by the department of commerce that exports of scrap and finished iron_ products in July boomed to 461,391 tons—only 60,987 tons below the monthly average for 1917, when World war demands were at their peak. Japan, England in a bloody undeclared war with China, is purchasing more scrap and finish iron and steel products than Germany, Italy, Russia, China and Great Britain combined, a commerce department report showed. McReynolds, a Tennessee democrat, indicated that the prohibitory legislation would be molded upon the 74th congress act barring export of tin plate products except strict license by the state department. He said the proposed bill would be introduced by someone other than himself. PANfHERSPLAY OPENER TONIGHT

Central Catholic of Ft. Wayne to Offer Opposition The Panthers are all set for their opening football engagement •with Central Catholic higu school of Ft. Wayne tonight under the lights at the local high school athletic field. It will also be the initial contest for Central Catholic. The Ft. Wayne school will have the advantage of havnig several veterans back w r hile only four lettermen have returned for duty at the local school. An entirely new backfield will perform for Coach Farris. The Farrismen were sent through an intensive drill under the lights last night ana appear ready to give th$ upstate school a battle, although they will undoubtedly be outweighed, A large crowd is expected to be on hand for the opener, some for curiousity and others to give the Panthers their whole-hearted support. Season tickets will be on sale at the gate. The contest will start, at 8 o’clock.

For years the standard rate of exchange has been 8Q iron tokens for one:shilling sterlingrof British money, or 24 cents Liberian money. The Mandingo natives got nearly all the iron money in their hands, at the same time obtained control of the sources of the iron arid they have now raised the value of the money so that the rate of exchange has gone down to 40 iron pieces for a British shilling piece. In less than a year, by this shrewd control, the Mandingo have doubled their investment and are now releasing the won money into circulation again at the new rate of exchange, making a profit of 100 per cent. Many people who have studied the native tribes of Liberia believe that the Mandihgoes are destined to become the dominant commercial group of the republic. Tall, handsome and dressed in long white Mohammedan gowns, these tribesmen circulate their w r ares throughout the interior. They have the only horses in Liberia and have a monopoly of the country's few cattle. Their chief business is trading. They are probably the most intelligent people in all West Africa. No other group of natives would have thought of such a money monopoly which the Mandingoes have effected knowing nothing whatever of stock markets or mdney control methods of civilized

lands.

— O —rr Mineral Deposits Halts Park Plans Austin, Tex., Sept. 10.—The reported discovery or rich veins of gold and mercury ore in parts of the Chisos mountains on the TexasMexico border today disrupted plans for an international park. The rich gold and mercury ore discovery was reported by T. E. Bollman of San Antonio, who" protested to the state land office against cancelling his permit to explore the mountains for mineral deposits. The land office informed Bollman his permit, which expired on August 30, could not be renewed because this area had been transferred to the state park board. It has been proposed that the land be turned over to the U. S. government for development of a national park, in connection -with a similar park w r hich the Mexican government promised to establish south of the Rio Grande.

Garment Sizes for Children Being Studied State College. Pa. — Pennsylvania State College borne economics research workers, attempting to standardize garment sizes for children in connection with a federal project to discourage manufacture of ill-fitting clothes, are taking measurements of thousands of boys and girls between 2 and 14 years of age. In five sections of the state the workers were making studies of children, measuring their bodies 35 different ways. When the study is completed, directors will “pool’ their findings in the hope of averaging sizes according to environment and rate of growth

Squirrel hunters in the twentythree northern Indiana counties composing the Northern Zone, will swing into action Wednesday morning, September 1, for the start of the sixty-day open season, Virgil M. Simmons, commissioner of the Department of Conservation, said today. Included in the Northern Zone are: Lake, Newton, Porter, Jasper, LaPorte, Starke, Pulaski, St. Joseph, Marshall, Fulton, Cass, Elkhart, Kosciusko, Miami. Wabash, Grant, LaGrange, Noble, Whitley, Huntington, Steuben, DeKalb and Allen counties. The open season starting Wednesday, will continue until October 30. In the southern zone, comprising the remainder of the state, the quirrel season began August 10 and will end on October 8. Reports from game wardens and sportsmen indicate that squirrels are plentiful in most sections than for several years and sportsmen in the southern zone have found good hunting in most areas. Regulations in effect this year make it unlawful tp take more than five squirrels in any day during the open season or to have more than five squirrels in possession at one time. Sale or purchase of squirels is prohibited and hunters violating any of these regulations are subject to arrest and the confiscation of guns or other

equipment.

The fox squirrel, largest of the Indiana squirrels is found throughout the state, the smaller gray squirrel being most numerous in the wooded areas of southern Indiana. Tawny brown with a grizzled gray color, the fox squirrel has poor eyesight but ejepends upon an unusually keen sense of hearipg for protection. o ROMANCE GOES TOO SLOWLY San Jose, Cal.—Harry A. Dunlap has drawn the first fine in this county for driving too slowly. On a street where the speed limit is 25 miles an hour, Dunlap was idling along with his best girl at 8 miles an hour thereby slowing up traffic. It cost him $1 Q POINTED PARAGRAPHS

’HOPPER BAIT

Poison bait provided by the Department of Agriculture and scattered over grasshopper infested areas by farmers saved most of their early crops. Bait materials are now being rushed to the States facing threats to fall crops. Minnesota and Wisconsin recently were startled by the development of unusually large numbers of redlegged hoppers. Althought small, this yellowish insect, with bright reddish legs, is very injurious to wheat, corn, bluegrass, oats, rye, timothy and soybeans.
