only man who’s going to help him is himself. “There’s no hope of a decent society until he gets it through his head that the producers have got to run industry and the state for the benefit of the producers. ‘The state, under that system, ought, to be a mere commission on industrial and international rclalions. ‘‘As for congress and Mr. Hoover, T'd suggest to them gently that they all go home and see what lurk they have getting themslvcs jobs.” C ritir Can Do Little Dos Passos. who roves leisurely about the country, always observing social conditions and trends, can think of but one logical approach in rritirising present-day America. “You must keep in mind.” he said, the fact that any situation where any critic of the existing order would be m a position to do anything politically would imply a far different setup of events, ideas, classes and political convictions, than we have before us in this spring of 1932. “So. you see, at present the critic, revolutionist, liberal or reformist can’t do anything except formulate w hat type of society he'd like to see take the place of this one when this one gets sufficiently rotten to collapse, or is pushed over from underneath. “I think that the nope of an arrangement of society that will free men and women from some of the crime and misery that has made history a long nightmare is a great hope, and that its substitution for religion would be an enormously important forward step in human development.” Socialism Seen as Remedy Dos Passos holds that western * industrial society has reached a point where nothing but Socialism can save it from bloody wars and destruction. And by Socialism, he doesn’t mean the Socialist party, nor the Third International. “I mean an attitude of mind, mostly,” he explained. “There is one alternative,” he continued. ’ That, is rigid dictatorship by the industrial owning class—a sort, of new feudalism. But in spite of the prrsent rurrent toward Fascism, I don't think the ruling class has the nerve to put it over. “In America, where the growth of capitalist individualism has been completely unhampered by the feudal restraints of Europe, the owners of industry have sacked the richest continent in the world, sold gold brick after gold brick to the producers i the workers and farmers!, whom they needed to grow the wheat and the hogs, to drill the oil * wells and run the adding machines and buy the Fords and the stocks. “Right now. these samp owners are strangling in the ticker tape of their own roulette wheel—Wall Street. “But I don’t think for a moment that this is the curtain for capitalism.”

Fleur-de-Li* BY DR. FRANK THONE • Copyright. 1933. by Science Service. Inc.) j WHEN you come out upon the , weedy margin of a pond, ; or a wet meadow, you are very I Jiely to find this flower, delicate blue and yellow, sufficient all by itself to make a day in May, though all other buds were sealed. It Is the wild iris, which is the Fleur-de-Lis, the most gailan, the bravest, the most famous of flowers, and yet withal the most lovely. Riding above the stiff sword-blades of its leaves. It is like Jeanne d'Arc above the spears of her army, something at once bold and delicate, strong and yet sweet. It is wholly appropriate that this flower should have bloomed for so long on the banners of France, that It should have been the symbol also of the city of Dante, of Florence, "the city of flowers." It is the kind of flower that lifts Itself to a place in a flag. Do not even old farmer wives, who know nothing of glory and whose romance went out long ago, still call them ‘ flag-flowers?” But the pride of the wild iris is of even more ancient lineage than this. There is an iris that blooms in the stony fields of Palestine, a much brighter one than ours, a veritable oriental ‘ dream of gorgeousness. The ancients were not careful of their botany; iris and lily were one to them, and so St Is that j when Jesus of Nazareth sought a symbol of careless glory sur- 1 passing even that of a careful king, his eye and word lighted j upon an iris that was a Fleur- ! de-Lis, or. being Englished, a "lily flower.” Next—Lady’s slipper. ROLL IS CHIEF JUSTICE Succeeds Julius C. Travis as Head of Supreme Court. Judge Curtis Roll. Kokomo, Monday became chief justice of the In- j diana supreme court, succeeding Judge Julius C. Travis. Alhponse Wood was advanced to | chief judge of the Indiana appellate court, and Judge Posey Kime succeeded him as presiding judge.
