of such a matter. Otherwise it would seem, the commissioners would not have the rights to which their office entitles them Earl Peters, a former Decatur boy, who has made good and is now the chairman of the federal boating commission for Indiana, is coming home tomorrow. He will . be one of the speakers at the 11th anniversary of the new United Brethren church. Years ago, as a i boy, Earl attended Sunday School 1 and church there. It will be a thrill ’ for him to come back and sit in i i , the place he once knew and to ' meet the folks with whom he mingled as a lad. It might be well to remember ■ that those who change the policies of the present state and national administrations will have to have some of their own and it would be I interesting to know in advance, 1 just what they will be.

They still have faith in his doing ; what is needed to meet the require-' ments of the country and they will I vote for him when the time comes.

FOG By Charles Michelson Director of Publicity, Democratic National Committee

I Boondoggling is a fine old world, redolent of the back country, hum-. orous in its sound and contempt!•• ous iu its application. It is doubt- ! ful if there could have been anyi Republican campaign if the word; had not been resurrected, for ev- ’- cry one of their spokesman —from the gloomy seer of Palo Olto to the 1 mosquito fleet, typified by Dick iuson. Ham Fish, Snell and Arthur I Robinson —has brought it into his | speeches. The highly non-partison ■ ■and vehemently neutral Liberty ' League issues books on it and the . Republican National Committee is • reported to have circulated a milI lion copies of their pamphlet relisting to it. Anybody who, after reading and i hearing all this, is not convinced ’ that the Roosevelt administration ’ is spending five billion dollars i blowing soap bubbles must be a j Democrat. i Recently it was recited as a rare example of squanderlust that some ■ of the Work Relief money was being spent in dolling up some of the ' unemployed: giving them haircuts i and shaves. There is no use of us Democrats trying to evade or a- > void that issue. We might as well I admit that it is true. The discovII cry. which will surprise the Repub- , I lican satirists, was made that a . niong the unemployed were about , the same proportion of barbers as • those of other vocations. ' When the announcement was .'made that nobody was to starve in . this country, the President neglecti ed to except barbers. Apparently j a barber out of a job, and with no . resources and perhaps a family to • support, can get just as hungry as • a jobless book-keeper, stevedore, • | or campaign orator. Take the case lof Mr. John Doe, who presided ov- • er one chair in a two-chair barber ■ shop in a country town. Th< other chair was taken care of the by the : proprietor. When business fell off. the boss felt he had to run the ■ shop by himself, so Mr. Doe was ■ cast adrift. He searched for auothIcr job in a jobless land, made his .small savings last as long as pos- , siblc, borrowed from his friends I until he had no more friends, hocked his barber tools and finally found himself on the dole. Then the order went forth that Ihe dole period was over, go far as ; employable people were concerned, ( and something had to be found for our friend Doe to do. One of Harry Hopkins' starry-eyed theorists, probably a brain truster ih his own , right, conceived the revolutionary , idea that, the right job for a barb- . er was barbering ,i There was a group of men taki on off thfc dole and. for lack of oth ; cr employment, set to cleaning the I city parks. They might have been [encouraged to let tlieir hair grow . until they looked like Hie Indian doctor in the old time medicine shows, and their whiskers progress . until each of them could have qhalI Ifjcd for a Salvation Ahpy Satda | Claus without any; make-up But instead pf tlwL-Ufe out-of-work bar-

ber was sent to minister to them. There was some incidental subver 1 sive thought that, the morale and j self-respect of fellows in hard luck : might be heipeu and their discour- | agement decreased if they didn't have to look like freaks. So the j sin of the Relief administration was two-fold. Not only dal they pay the bather e.lough to live on, but they did not charge the penniless workers on relief for their shaves and hair-cuts. Another example of the administration's turpitude was in the case of the dancing teacher. M. d'Eau. He was ah elderly but still spry Frenchman, who had conducted a dancing school ever since New York's night life centered in Fourteenth street. It wasn't one of those terpsichorean academies that required social and financial sponsors to get into. In fact. I believe, that he charged 50 cents a lesson, with an adequate reduction if you took the whole course. He used to teach the waltz, schottische and polka, with special sjeps for school festivals and othc occasions when a display was required. He was not strictly speaking a de--pi-essioß—casualty: —frrr —his —once" modestly prosperous enterprise dwindled when the jazz dances came in, bnt lie kept up as best he could until the crash left him flat and he went on the dole. | Either he had to be given work or be classed as an unemployable and czntinue to be an object of direct public charity. Another of Harry Hopkins' impractical doctrinaires, whom. I suspect, was a professor of itolitical economy before he was called to do Emergency Relief Work, took note of the fact that the unemployed and the people for whom work was created had children growing up and —deplorable as the fact is—these hard-luck kids want to learn to dance. So . now Monsieur d'Eau is conducting ; children's dancing classes. He gets i his dole in the shape of pay for • his services from the W.P.A. and i nobody benefits from it except • these children, who will undoubti edly. in a few years, waste some • of their evenings in the diversions ' normal to young people, and are getting some fun in learning how. These things are boondogglings I in all their enormity, but they are , not the worst of the sort of things - to which the Republican National r Committee devotes its stern ar - raignment of the Roosevelt admini istration. Think of the appalling f instances of jobless manicure girls. • Instead of putting these to work driving trucks, shoveling sand or • digging sewers, the conscienceless : Relief administration is actually employing them to do the only i thing they know how to do. and the r thing by which they are accustom--1 ed to earning their living. They are manicuring the hands of their s sisters in adversity — stenograph I- ers, clerks, house workers, etc.: a left stranded by the ride of busii- ness when it receded, and who ' have not yet regained theft* places

in industry and trade. Uncle Sam is paying the manicurists —not 75 cents and a tip for each job, but . just enough to keep body and soul together. This is not altogether be- ' cause of stinginess on the part of ■ the Government, but it is to insure that the minute one of these girls gets a chance at a private job she j; will grab it and get off the relief i rolls. Chairman Fletcher's latest campaign document ought to get into I thte hands of everybody, so that ail will know the full extravagance that is going on. It is a base evasion. of course, to ask him what his outfit would do if they got back in office about the baThers. dancing teachers, manicurists, actors, artists, musicians, etc., whose contributions to society are not strictly utilitarian, but without whom civilization would be an untidy, ' dreary desert. Perhaps the fulnfihating Republican leaders do not ' think this group worth saving. Their indictment of the Roosevelt administration for its method of handling the problem, presented with such gravity and in such detail, is. of course, conclusive proof that the President is bent on dictatorship. that he is Russianizing the country. regimenting industry, destroying the independence of the farmers, taking the profit motive out of business, and that, in the matter of the public funds, he is a hopeless wastral. o- ■ * TWENTY YEARS * I AGO TODAY | I From the Daily Democrat File ♦ A 41 Nov. 23—C.
