on MONDAY, APRIL 22, 1940 ; WHO'S A LIBERAL? © RESIDENT ROOSEVELT has just exhorted his party to “nominate a liberal pair of candidates.” : : That oughtr’t to give the Democrats much trouble. Mr. Roosevelt certainly regards himself as a Liberal. Mr. Garner, if less shy, of utterance, would call himgelf ‘a Liberal. = t 5 fa : “So would Mr. Hull and Mr. Farley and Mr. McNutt. ‘Also Mr.-Jackson and Mr. Justice Douglas. Mr, Ickes, of course, is positive he is a Liberal. (To be positive, according to Ambrose Bierce in: “the: devil's dictionary,” is “to be mistaken in a loud tone of voice.”) - Or, take the Republicans, <i Is Mr. Dewey a Liberal? "He would be the last to disown the soft impeachment. di Mr. Taft? Why, of course. doubt about it. = Mr. ‘Hoover? Willkie, that Democrat emeritus? Mr. Barton? Mr. Gannett? Liberals all (in their own estimation, anyway). We have never met a man (except a Communist) who didn’t regard himself as a Liberal, though some of them will say they are conservatives too. : As Alf Landon remarked once, “the President seems to feel that all he has to do is to wave the flag and shout: “All Liberals on this side! It is not quite as simple as that.” 'And the Baltimore Evening Sun has suggested that in Mr. Roosevelt's eyes “a Liberal is a guy who shuts his eyes, opens his mouth, and swallows everything I choose to give him.” : 5 ; ! There are more serious definitions, by the thousand. And there’s no candidate alive (save Earl Browder) who couldn’t find one to fit himself. :

WRECK AT GULF CURVE : FTHE schedule of the New York Central's crack Lake | Shore Limited calls. for 18 hours and 20 minutes be- . tween New York City and Chicago. Leaving Albany west- ~ bound Friday night, the train was 15 minutes behind time. At the throttle was Jesse Earle, an engineman since 1906,
"an employee of the road since 1899, entitled by his un-|
usually good record to the prospect of honorable retirement in a few more months. Mh 2 No one can ever know what was in Engineer Earle’s mind as he headed into Gulf Curve—the sharpest curve on the New York Central—in the Mohawk River’s rocky gorge near Little Falls, N. Y. A rule in force since a bad wreck
nearly 37 years ago called for a speed of not more than |
45 miles an hour there. But it is reasonable thinking of his good record, and wanting to keep it free of the blot of a late train.’ Anyway, he tried to make up time. The Limited was doing 59 miles an hour—as the speedom-
eter tape in the engine cab showed later—when it left the
rails on Gulf Curve and piled up with 30 persons dead in the
wreckage and many more injured. CH : So ended the good record of an engineer. So was broken an exceptional record of the New York Central, which had operated for 13 years without a passenger fatality and had only recently received the Harriman Award for Passenger Safety in 1939. inh ; One wreck does not prove that 1940 railway schedules are beyond the margin of safety. But airplane competition has put a new premium on railroad speed, and the Gulf Curve tragedy, with its evidence that a veteran engineer broke a rule to make up lost time, emphasizes a lesson that the air lines have learned to their profit. Speed is important but safety is transportationfs first duty to the traveling public. : .
PENSIONS "THERE appears to be a strong chance that the House -will pass the Rankin bill for pensioning the widows, children and parents of deceased World War veterans (whether or not war disabilities had anything to do with the cause of death). Rep. Rankin’s discharge petition now has the 218 signatures needed to force a vote. ~ It is said the bill would cost from 24 to 48 millions a year—to start. Opponents estimate the eventual cost at five billions. : ; ‘But that is not all. | ; Once Congress agrees to support the widows of veterans, it has taken a long stride toward the pensioning, of all: living veterans—in spite of wartime insurance and post¥ar bonuses. Br - It is hard to criticize the veterans for putting in such claims when Congress is dishing out so many billions to
other groups. But where is the money coming from, Shall
we divert it from relief, or from defense, or shall we dip it out of the red-ink bottle? :

NE answer to the assertion that a big city is no place . for a dog is that it is mo place for man either. Never-
. theless dogs and humans’ will continue to inhabit cities. It is futile to argue that only those who are fortunate enough to live in the country should keep a dog. ; Hardly a week passes but that we read of someone’s pet dog being poisoned. ‘Sometimes dog poisoning reaches epidemic proportions. Some of these cases, no doubt, are accidental. Other poisonings are deliberate. -It is hard, to think of a more despicable act. The person who sets out poison for dogs hasn’t a decent regard for the rights of "others. - Not only may he kill a neighbor’s pet but he may endariger the life of a small child. : ) Neither are dog owners blameless. The person who permits his dog to become a bum also shows lack of consideration for his neighbor. A roving dog can tear up lawns, damage shrubbery and cause traffic accidents. i If the dog owner does not have an inclosed yard he should make it a point to see that his pet is exercised regularly on a leash. The walking will be good for man and dog. Both will live longer, £ ok vid nil aay TH 7 : i

Fair Enough By Westbrook Pegler Press Could Clean Up Miamis if _ * They Cared To, He Says Answering
Criticism of His Own Exposes. |
EW YORK, April 22—My valued client, the
N Miami Herald, has haled me before the bar of |
local opinion for discovering, year after year, that the criminal scum of Northern cities move into that community and ply their nefarious trades. I am accused
| of failure to perceive the beauties of the place and
sense ‘the gaiety of the throngs of well-behaved
. Americans, who outnumbered the truly bad a thou-
sand to one. ; 3 In reply may I say that I have often attempted to describe the richness of the scene and to give proper recognition to those daring doers who created on that
risky strip between the glades and the mangrove |.
tangles of the ‘beach a pleasure land without a rival,
in certain respects, anywhere on earth. Miami has |
now become a real city and an important port for travel and cornmerce by air and sea, and appreciation of that fact suggests to me that the. two daily news-
| papers, the Herald, and the Daily News, owned by | - | Jimmy Cox, thrice Governor of Ohio and once the | - Democratic nominee for
} President, have not grown with the town. Yai ma ad PHERE is nothing wrong with the Miamis as to . A crime, civic corruption and. official negligence or connivance that could not be cured by these two
papers, or either of them, if the disposition and the |
ability were there. a > As to my own observations year after year, as far
‘back as 1924, I will say that I have had almost a mo-
nopoly. There has been no lack of glamour copy but I recall offhand no other reporter to observe’ that, amid the confusion of quick growth and ever more dazzling splendor, the community was developing. an underworld as vicious as that of any of the older
cities.
The management of both these papers agrees that the race track known as Tropical Park is a political
.perquisite of an element of criminals from Chicago | .and New York. They know who those criminals are ‘and admit they defile everything they touch and never
have contributed anything to the decent benefit of any city in which they have visited or operated. - It has been said that the criminal scum of the North visit the Miamis only.to relax. But the criminal’s only holiday is a busman’s holiday. A low crime rate is.meaningless in a town so crooked that even the children know which dives are privileged.
” 2 2 . IX olden times St. Paul and Toledo were king's-X
towns in which crooks wanted elsewhere could so--
journ and spend their stealings, immune from extra-
.dition, as long as they behaved themselves,. but
neither of the Miami papers would dare challenge
local ‘opinion by advocating such an arrangement |
there, and, anyway, it is well known 4hat the crimi-
‘| nals who go there find the local: opportunities irre-
sistible. : - Frank Nitti, one of the most notarious gangsters
in American history, is treated as a citizen and busi- |
nessman, and the local prosecutor sees nothing awry
in the fact that a brother-in-law of Al Capone and
captain of the guard at Capone's fortified castle; is business agent of the Waiters, and Barténders’ Union.
When a few witnesses failed to confirm the obvious:
connection between Nitti’s beer and highball water. and Capone’s remote control of the union he white-'
washed Capone’s man. :
But why should a witness risk his life telling all to that kind of prosecutor? Foot :

Protecting the Home Buyer, Stamps, Hospitals and Paul Dresser Day
PEAKING OF ZONING (and it seems -most everyone is these days), the City Council soon will take’ action on one of the most important steps considered in the last 10 years. “It's a joint resolution; signed by the Zoning, Works and Park Boards which sets out a series of rules and regulations governing the development of new residential sites. -Protection of the small home buyer is the chief goal of the resolution. It requires developers to meet. minimum requirements of drainage sanitation and ‘thoroughfare improvement before the City Plan Com-. mission will approve a development. Two of the most significant provisions require the developer to prove that the. development cannot be flooded in heavy rains and that septic tanks (if there isn’t a sewer) cannot wash back into the yard or basement. Ta : » 8x Te TODAY IS PAUL DRESSER DAY in Indiana by proclamation of Governor Townsend. But the Governor, in making the proclamation, got himself ine volved in -a hot argument regarding dates surrounding the composer of “On the Banks of the Wabash.” This: much seems certain. Paul Dresser died in New .York in 1906.
But when he was born is in dispute. Originally it
was intended to hold the birthday obsegvance on
April 12, but then research seemed to show he was born on April 22, Theodore Dreiser, the famous novel ist and younger brother of the composer, believes that the year of Paul's birth is 1863. Miss Mary South, to whom Mr. Dresser dedicated the song, says he was born in 1859. ; : 2 8 =
ESTIMATES of the valué of stamps being exhibited at the Claypool during the three-day convention of stamp clubs of Indiana and Kentucky ranged as high as a million dollars! There wasn’t a cop in sight and nary a stamp was missing. Harry Coburn, president of the host Indiana Stamp Club, said the noticeable thing abou! visitors was the majority of mother-father-child groups! He said that the fathers alibied that they just came to bring their boy or girl, but it was amazing how much the father knew about the child’s collection. ” 2 2
IT MAY SIMPLY BE superstition on the part of the doctors (they are notoriously unsuperstitious)
but every time it rains in Indianapolis they prepare
for a jump in business at the hospital delivery rooms.
One local hospital, which had gone two days without a child being born, had five within seven hours dur-:
ing the recent heavy rain. The same hospital had 23 children born in 48 hours during the preceding
rainy spell. Maybe there is something scientific back:
of it all. We wouldn't know. .
Pe bs Sp A Woman's Viewpoint By Mrs. Walter Ferguson N<&* long ago I was talking to an ex-teacher. She had been visiting small town relatives and was
upset about the poverty in the county, especially as ‘it touched many children. : :
“Some of thera have no milk,” she sald. “Some :
have never been to school, and it was dreadful to me to see how eager they were to learn to read. Yet when I spoke of these conditions to several town
people, and brought the educational plight to their:
county superintendent, all of them looked at me as if they were thinking: ‘Here's. another emotional woman wanting to make trouble.’ “They were utterly unconcerned. Just used to such things, I suppose. How I wish I could do something
to help those children! It seems to me it doesn’t hurt
grown people so much to go short on food, but we must feed the children.” = . As she spoke there rose before me visions of innumerable luncheon tables, flower decorated, plates piled with delectable food and around them circles of women all talking about dieting. he Now if every woman ‘who talks about dieting
would really diet, and then figure how much the |.
-amount of food she could eat, and doesn’t, costs, and would give its cash equivalent to buy milk for babies, or vitamins for undernourished school children or to provide expectant mothers with proteins,
| were they?.

The Townsend Plan forces claim a solid voting bloc of 400,000 Hoosiers. That, of course; is open to question. But half that formidable front, certainly a balance of power; enough at any rate to cause certain politicians to rub their hands in greedy anticipation, and to be “for” whatever that bloc is “for,” sight unseen, ’ : Boss man B. J.-Brown has already indorsed nine Indiana Congressional candidates, eight of whom are Republicans—a circumstance amusing in itself, since it is- very well known that the - Republican Party has always opposed, and is likely to continue to oppose, old-age pensions of any kind, : : Indiana has only to look back some twenty years or so to find a similar subversion of democratic processes.

So complete was success in fact that D. C. Stephenson was moved to exclaim: “I am the law in Indiana.” That, of course, was unfrue. But it had such semblance of truth that the State of Indiana has felt impelled, even to this day, to continue to impress upon Stephenson the error and folly of his unfortunate remark, “ie D. C.
