TUESDAY AIK) 15. l>t) DKAI GIIT BKER y^R AUGHT Hows again today Thus one more blow has been delivered at the racketeer and more revenue should flow into the nearly-empty public treasury. Instead ol providing diamonds and silk underwear for gunmen, barrel beer is now going to do ; ts part toward educating children and furnishing good highways for farmers. Governor McNutt is to be congratulated for making brew drawn from the wood possible In Indiana. The Times has fought steadily for it for months believing that beer was beer, whether it came out of a keg or a glass bottle, end draught beer is tastier and cheaper than the bottled variety. There is already criticism of the attorneygeneral's legal opinion under which draught beer may be sold It is said that he has circumvented the law by taking advantage of technicalities. Few people outside the legal profession w’ill pay much attention to such carping. What the citizens want is draught beer, not legalistic debate. It is impossible, however, to overlook one serious flaw in this otherwise inviting picture. Certain political drones known as beer importers are going to reap heavy profits for which they do not do a tap of work The reason they are permitted to make this money is merely because they are members of a party machine. For months now this newspaper has been inquiring about the ultimate destination of these profits. It has been unable to get any answer. Indianapolis importers are handling a popular Indiana beer They are charging more than it is selling for elsewhere in the state. The Indianapolis consumer, of course, foots the bill. Under the law importers are not supposed to handle beer brewed in the state. Perhaps an excellent way to clear up this whole importer mystery would be for some public spirited citizen to bring an injunction action against the Indianapolis importers to forbid them from wholesaling Evansville beer. Then the importers rould be placed on the witness stand and forced to tell just who is get*mg the money. But in the last analysis, the important thing is that draught beer is back and that Governor McNutt has brought it back Now if the Governor would only clip the wings of his importers and guarantee nickel beer to Indianapolis he would make his record on beer well-nigh perfect.

THE PEOPLE BACK ROOSEVELT A MAN who is looking for straws to show which way the wind is blowing could do a lot worse than to study those stories about the thousands of letters President Roosevelt Is receiving commending him for the NRA campaign. These letters, mostly, are from people who don't ordinarily sit down to write to the President Some of them are misspelled, some of them are mere scrawls on of wrapping paper with stub pencils, some are formally 1 typewritten and some are on scented paper. There is no uniformity. They come from everywhere and everybody. But they all agree in one thing: Each is an ofTor by a deeply moved American citizen to tell the President that the blue eagle campaign is crossing the land like a strong, refreshing wind, and each Is a heartfelt pledge of support And the influx of these letters is possibly the most important single symptom to be found in all the land today. These letters, that is to say, show how deeply responsive the American people are to • this stupendous, complex, and puzzling campaign against the depression For the letters are not being written by cranks or freaks They are coming from ordinary people, men and women who do not usually dream of sending letters to the White House. The plain people of the country, who go voiceless year in and year out. are taking the trouble to speak their minds Not once in two or three generations do the American people really become aroused. If an awakening is coming now—and this flood of letters hardly can mean anything else —it indicates that the nation is tossing into the scales a united force of a size and strength such as America has employed only three or four times in all her history. No one could make a greater mistake than to underestimate the significance of this This is not just another political movement. it is not lust another fad just another safety valve for confused and inarticulate public emotion. The blue eagle is the emblem of a drive which has a united country back of it: and It all makes one think of General Johnson’s recent remark—- " God help the man or men who get in the way of the national recovery program." WRONG COURSE ON KIDNAPING NEWSPAPERS carry a headline to the effect that McGee's Doom Is Held to Be Kidnaping Curb. - ’ If history teaches us anything on such matters. it is that the only important result of the imposition of the death penalty for kidnaping will be to encourage the killing of victims whenever the police get hot on the trail of the guilty. For one gangster who is condemned to *eath under such severe laws, there will be *li kidnaped persons condemned to death k-a-legally. The severe laws will, therefore.

produce exactly the opposite from one major result desired—which is to reduce the personal jeopardy of kidnaping victims. There is no evidence that severe punishments ever have acted as an adequate cure on crime. There is ample evidence to support the contrary opinion. In 1800 there were about 200 capital crimes In England While in many cases the death penalty actually was commuted to transportation, there were an immense number of executions —most of them public. The carcass of a*thief robber or murderer swinging from the gallows was as common a sight along the roads of England as advertising signboards along American motoring highways today Pocket-picking was scandalously common in the crowds assembled to witness the hanging of thieves. In 1830 only premeditated murder and treason were listed as capual crimes in England. But the crime rate was far lower in 1900 than it was in 1800. Equally instructive is our own experience with desperadoes in the west. If ever summary justice was meted out. here was the place. The death penalty was exacted even for horse-stealing Formal trials were conducted by the vigilantes. A rope and a tree limb constituted the trapping of criminal justice. Yet the profession of the highwayman and of the panhandler flourished so long as it offered any considerable prospect of remunerative cultivation. Among our racketeers today squealing and violation of the racket code mean sure and sudden death. Yet plenty of thus sort of thing goes on. The dual objective of any anti-kidnaping drive should be to protect the kidnaped from death or serious injury and to discourage the crime of kidnaping. This requires, in the first place, effective organization of state and federal police for an offensive against kidnaping in general and for the detection of any particular gang of kidnapers. Procedure should be as secret as possible, so as not to forewarn the kidnapers of the movements of the forces of the law or to stimulate them to a panicky murder of the victim. as to penalties, if there are severe penalties, including the death sentence, they should be imposed only in rase of injury or death of the victim. The penalties should be mild, certainly not over ten years’ imprisonment, in case the victim is returned uninjured. There is little probability that this would greatly increase the popularity of the kidnaping racket, but it notably would reduce the temptation to murder those abducted. No sum of money is very significant when a human life is at stake, and kidnaping rarely will take place except in instances where the persons seized or their relatives are amply able to pay a sizable ransom. The New York Journal is quoted as saying that to pay a ransom and guarantee immunity to the kidnapers is nothing less than “compounding a felony.” This may be true from a strictly legal point of view, but it will continue to be the natural and human thing to do. Nothing will be gained by policies which will promote the demise of the person held for ransom While making every effort to recover unharmed victims of kidnaping, repressive programs should get at the roots of the kidnaping racket. They should assail the something-for-nothing psychology. Some of the higherups in the financial rackets should be convicted, to show that the government does not have one law for the moguls and another for the small fry who share their business ideals. Well-known racketeers and their entourage should be placed in concentration camps, even though specific testimony as to technical criminality can not be adduced. There will be ample loopholes for those who can prove that thev follow orders or wish to follow' an honest and productive occupation. Finally, immediate steps should be taken to give sufficient protection to those coerced by racketeers. The United States army well might be drawn upon if necessary for this purpose. Once we begin to bear down upon organized crime and racketeering in general, we shall put a crimp in kidnaping. So long as we content ourselves with waving the death penalty at kidnapers only, we shall aid nobody except coroners and undertakers.

JAPAN’S MISTAKEN IDEA npHAT three-day sham battle held in and about Tokio recently for the “spiritual education of the Japanese people seems to have been designed to show that only through possession of a dominant navy can the Japanese escape the terrors which anew war might inflict on the civilian populace. To a certain extent, of course, that may be true. Bur the militarist is given to overstating his case, and he seems to have done so in this instance. The fact that England had. overwhelmingly. the world's greatest fleet during the World war did not save London from the horror of air-raids, it did not even save her North Sea coastal towns from bombardment by hostile cruiser squadrons. English women and children were blown to bits in their homes, not because England's fleet was inadequate—but simply because such things are an inevitable part of modern warfare The only sure way to avoid them is to avoid war itself. JOBS COME FIRST ' | "HE importance of the government's insistence that the current economy program for the railroads must not at this time bring with it a reduction in the number of railroad employes Is shown by figures dealing with railroad employment during the last two months. Since June 1. according to reports received by Joseph B Eastman, federal railroad coordinator. class 1 railroads have shown a net gain in employment of more than 65.000 men. Any economy program carried out at the expense of personnel would wipe out this gratifying gain speedily and substitute for it an actual loss. That such change would not fit in at all with the general recovery program is too obvious to need stating. That railroad pay rolls are rising is a cause for deep gratification. It is to be hoped that this tendency can be continued. Though Washington has set up the NRA the RFC. the NAB. the TV A. the AAA and many other agencies to aid business, merchants report that much business still is being conducted under the lOU plan. i

SCIENCE ADVISORY BOARD ROOSEVELTS new science advisory board, created by White House order undr the National Research council, signalizes a close and potentially fruitful relationship between science and the New Deal. The Roosevelt administration, through committees appointed hy the board, can obtain the nation’s most competent advice upon highly technical and important problems of government as affected by science and research. Some of the scientific functions of the federal government have had hard sledding in the first hectic months of ths administration. The United States science advisory board can be used as a sieve for retaining the most essential science work that otherwise may be lost in the economy rush. No one. Republican or Democrat, will question the integrity and nonpartisanship of Drs. Compton, Campbell. Bowman. Dunn. Jewett. Kettering. Leith. Merriam, and Millikan, who constitute the new board. ANOTHER DRY DEFEAT ALL the king's horses and Senator Sheppard to boot can’t put the Humpty Dumpty eighteenth amendment together now. The 4-to-l vote of Arizona for repeal assures that. The result in Arizona, first southwestern state to vote, presages also the winning of Texas, last stand of Senator Sheppard. Texas votes Aug. 26. and there is every Indication it will go Democratic and Roosevelt —which means for repeal—despite the strange attitude of her two Democratic senators. But Texas no longer is the key state If Texas Democrats reject repeal, they will gain only the distinction of marking their state as the only one to date out of step with the nation. At least thirty-seven, and perhaps fortyone. states will have voted by the evening of Nov. 7. Colorado's action in setting an election for Sept. 12 just has provided the repealists with a margin of one over the necessary thirty-six, which probably will be increased by early action for elections in Virginia, Kansas. Kentucky and Montana. Twenty-one states have ratified so far. Missouri, Texas and Washington are believed certain to place their stamp of approval this month. Seven states vote in September, one in October and five on Nov 7. * The day is coming New York writer has discovered that 10cent speakeasies flourish in Greenwich Village. Does that explain the origin of that famous song. “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?” Seeking to improve economic conditions among needy coal miners, new NRA code proposes to transfer thousands of them to farms. Well, tlfit's one way of getting the miners out of the hole. Wisconsin baseball team nicknamed “the Red Sox’’ slept in the streets the other night because it lost a game. The Boston Red Sox. however, continue to do their sleeping in the ball park in the afternoon. Unrest seems to be increasing among those striking dairymen in upstate New York. Latest reports indicate that even the cows no longer are contented. Norman Thomas’ statement that “This country just has passed through a revolution” should surprise no one. Everybody knows that for there years we’ve been going around in circles. Recent dismissal of 1.800 federal prohibition agents throughout the country came so quietly that the event passed almost unnoticed —even by the bootleggers.

M.E.TracySays:

RECOVERY along lines being laid down by the Roosevelt administration presumes elimination of strikes and lockouts. With the ; government regulating hours, wages and worki ing conditions on a fair basis, there is little necessity for the more drastic aspects of collective bargaining. For its own sake, if not for the public good, labor is bound to accept the program in good faith and do its share in bringing about those results which can come only through steadygoing co-operation. To all intents and purposes, the recovery program is designed to bring about the very improvements for which organized labor has fought If it works, the toilers not only will be assured a larger share of the profits, but their essential rights. Outside of restoring business, it clearly is the government's aim to establish an industrial order which will make much of the squabbling between capital and labor unnecessary. The whole idea is too make steady work for people by providing a more orderly adjustment of all difficulties. a a a THE anarchy of rugged individualism about | which we have talked so much includes the strike and lockout as well as sweatshop competition. Continuous work, old age pensions, unemployment insurance, and other safeguards call for a cessation of the quarreling which has characterized our industrial system for the last half century. The new deal really is a triumph for organized labor, but with the triumph there comes an opportunity for changing its aims, attitude, and outlook It no longer is fighting to convert the nation, to make business see the desirability of better pay. to convince politicians that mass buying power is the basis of prosperity. Organized labor has won its point. The fundamental principles of its program are being written into national policy, with the government undertaking to see that they are applied. Organized labor can afford to adopt a vastly more constructive role from now on. can devote itself to the development of craft efficiency, to the accumulation of funds for the benefit of its members, to a policy of general betterment. xr a a TTP to this time, organized labor has been iJ compelled to fight for its own peculiar interests. to isolate itself, and adopt a more or less antagonistic attitude toward employers. That was part of the laissez-faire regime which we thought it necessary to tolerate in the name of liberty. With the end of that regime, anew order comes into being, and the new order Includes labor as well as capital. As long as there were not agencies or tribunals to which labor could look for fair play, it was obliged to rely on its own power, but with such agencies and tribunals set up. it can devote its energies to different and more helpful objectives. There Is no doubt that labor will be given a greater voice in industry through the codes which we are adopting, but it will be a voice of participation, rather than opposition, a voice of management and efficiency, a voice of re- i sponsibility, rather than privilege.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Having followed your daily articles in regard to pollution of Indiana streams, I wonder if the people of the state would be interested in the real facts about the matter. Prior to the McNutt rule, the Indiana state board of health was able to control most of the stream pollution in the state, by use of trained technical help, such as sanitary engineers, water chemists and so forth. Since the change of administration, this necessary help has been eliminated and replaced by such people as civil engineers, mechanical engineers and druggists who have not the least idea of what it is all about, although due to the fact that they were henchmen or relatives to the officials of the state they had to be taken care of. even at the expense of the taxpayers. The head of the former food and drug department is also a druggist without the slightest conception of what the food and drug department should do to take care of the needs of the people, but he has retained the former set of stenographers to take care of his work for him. even though some of them are Republicans, so this druggist will have more time for political issues. If an honest check were made, you would find more Republicans working in that department than Democrats, due to their pull with some present Democrat official. If The Times as well as the people of the state of Indiana are interested in pollution of state streams, they might make it their business to investigate the reason the present state board of health is powerless to act. They also will find that L. A. Geupel and B. H Jeup. who recently were appointed, were connected with this department, a number of years ago. and were Republicans then and worked as such during tw’o Republican administrations. I understand that, prior to the McNutt rule, employes of the state board of health were non-political and retained their positions on their merit, and even though McNutt said he did not intend to replace tech- ; nical help where it would cripple departments, he has changed only that part in the state board of health. You should see and understand

This is the serond of throe articles on "sleeping sickness." TTTHILE patients with epidemic ’ * encephalitis. or “‘sleeping sickness." seem to be completely unconscious, there are recorded instances in which the patient who apparently slept was aware of everything that went on in the room. The brain was affected in such manner that the patient could not speak or let other people know that he heard what was being said. In association with the somnolence or lethargy, in many cases there is a delirium in which the patient may have emotional outbursts. delusion, or periods of depression An exceedingly interesting phenomenon is the development of what is called “occasional delirium,'' in which the person who is affected dwells constantly on the occupation; the orator continually makes

VERY many fine persons hold the opinion that an occasional spanking does not hurt a child, which is a wrong approach to the question. The point is: does it do the child any good? I am one of an ever-increasing majority on the negative side of that issue. By this I do not mean that the man who paddles his small son is first cousin to the bully or the brute. He only uses their methods. So it seems to me that the only honest thing for men and women is to admit that spankings are first, last and all the time, outlets for parental anger, xather than efficient discipline for the child.

I find in most places of business and places of employment the NRA sign and the slogan “We Do Our Part." Just what does this slogan mean? As I see it. these places are not entitled to this sign unless they do something to increase production and the only way to do this is to give someone a job. else they are not entitled to the NRA sign. If every place in the city that displays the NRA sign would give someone a job. it would put thousands of men to work, and as I understand the President's message to the public, that is just what he means—to make more jobs I ask that our director. Francis Weils, look into this and see if he can find out just how many are violating the terms of the NRA. President Roosevelt wants us to have work, not charity. That is the purpose of the NRA. I know that our officials of the NRA have a big job to look after all the violators, but if some one was punished and names made public, it would put a stop to violations. Bv Your* for thr NRA. I notice that the local representatives of the NRA are not very particular to whom they issue the emblems. The case to which I refer is an establishment which laid off one employe and is working a man at night eighty-two and one-half hours a week for $5. This amounts to 6 2-3 cents an hour. If the NRA is to accomplish its purpose, it should be more careful as to who it allows to display its emblem. About a week ago your paper took up the case of a contractor who worked some of his men for $1 a day. This was indeed a very small wage, but imagine working a married man with a wife and a child, trying to exist on 71 cents a day. That is almost unbelievable, but it is a fact. Is this condition to be tolerated by the loyal supporters of our President and your fair and impartial paper? Conditions of this kind exist throughout our city. It is our duty

He worships the Blue Eagle In a press conference, he very seldom speaks of NIKA or NRA. It is almost invariably ’the Blue Eagle” jor sometimes just "the Eagle."

A question was asked about a public utilities corporation which had announced that NIRA was nothing in its young life, since it was not /engaged in interstate commerce. Johnson replied that sometimes the Eagle flew so high that he couldn t tell one state from another. And that reminded him that he used to know a rowdy song about Kansas and the state of lowa He mentioned the fact. But when he spoke of death and the Eagle, he was deadly serious. a u a *4 Chance for the Kaffir AND he is going to need all the courage and the fighting fiber of his inspiration. He has thrown down the gauntlet to the most powerful of all the American in- | terests Steel is stupid Coal is cruel. Sugar is avaricious, and the American Newspaper Publisher: Association is smug, which is the most-dangerous of all In fact, the press of America, when viewed in bulk, is sugar and steel and coal It constitutes the , first line of defense of all those who are interested in keeping the system just as it is. Os course, there is plenty of honest journalism in America There is some liberal I journalism, but that is the excep- ’ tion. But boil them all together and you have the Old Deal, which means to lick the New Deal, whatever it may pretend. When Paul Y Anderson Washington correspondent of the St Louis Past Dispatch, saw the code submitted by the newspaper publishers he said: This isn't a code at all. It's a charter of exceptions." And that. I think, is a fair criticism. The whole attitude of the publishers toward the national recovery act in so far as it touches their own business has been. “But. of course, you’re not talking to us. are you?’’ I was present when the general stuck his chin out A newspaper man said: “I’ve been reading about the newspaper code in some of the papers. Is there a code?' Johnson took on his dark eagle look and answered, “One has been submitted.” He paused to listen, maybe, for the whirr of the wings and added. “It isn’t satisfactory.” i seemed to me about as dramatic a moment as Washington has known even in these last busy weeks, and yet by some accident or other it doesn't seem to get reported very generally It seems to me, as I remember, that it has been considered news when some other fellow's code was turned down.
