“Give Light and the People
Will Find Their Own Way”
A Thought for Today
DEPART from me, all ye workers of in-
D iquity; for the Lord hath heard the
voice of my weeping.—Psalms, 6:8.
• * *
If thou sustain injustice, console thy-
self; the true unhappiness is in doing It.
—Democritus.
It will promulgate broad policies to gov-
ern trading. It will prescribe the rules
and referee the struggles between the bulls
and (bears. It will raise margins to put
the brake on frenzied buying and low-
er margins to check distress selling. It
will restrict short selling, govern the use
of options, standardize the usages nt stop-
loss orders. It will circumscribe pool op-
erations and the activities of floor traders
and specialists. It will endeavor in every
way to make the stock market only what
it should be, not a glorified gambling in-
stitution to facilitate the financing of
business and industry.
Is this a job for men now connected
with the stock exchanges to undertake,
having In mind the Impossibility of any
man forswearing the prejudices, the
friendships and the business relationships
of a lifetime? Your average broker is no
worse and no better than your average
other citizen. His interest in this matter,
however, is not that of the average other
citizen, for whom this commission is being
set up. His Interest is not in a stable
market, but an active market; the greater
the volume and velocity of trading the
greater his commissions.
There are men to be found who can
regulate the operations of the stock ex-
changes in relation to the welfare of the
whole country. But, for the reasons
stated and further reasons of the same
character, they are not to be found within
the stock exchanges.
It Seems To Me

NEW YORK.—In a recent fighting speech

elections Ogden L. Mills bitterly attacked
the Emperor Diocletian. We may expect
the Republicans soon to
include Constantine, and
work by easy stages

WED
IGNORING THE ISSUE
CANDIDATES for county administrative
O office have been speaking formally for
nearly a week now, and were informally
active for many weeks before that.
Yet none of them has mentioned the
most important question before the peo-
ple of Tarrant County in relation to county
government. One or two candidates have
mentioned the matter in pamphlets and
formal announcements; none from the
stump.
It is, of course, reorganization of the
antiquated county government to mod-
ernize it and make it more simple, more
efficient; to chink up the holes thru
which the people’s money has been escap-
ing for generations; to permit the fixing
of responsibility instead of organized
buck-passing. _____
Real county reorganization IS"a neces-
sity. A few county officials and county
employes have been courageous enough to
come out for or against it. Almost all are
against it, of course. It would break up
their political playhouse. But they have
contented themselves with staying under
cover so far as the people are concerned,
and striking from the dark at the hacks
of anyone who dared to advocate effec-
tive reorganization.
So far, the issues debated in the coun-
ty administrative races have been mostly
takes. Candidates for the most part have
been content to raise a little laugh at
,he expense of opponents, entertain the
crowds, call names. The uppermost ques-
tion in the mind of many voters—and it
will be true of, many more before the
campaign is over—is whether such candi-
dates are for or against real county re-
organization. So far voters have had- no
answer. They should demand an answer
before the campaign Is over.
SARAJEVO OR GENEVA?
TUST 20 years ago (Thursday) a bomb
• exploded at Sarajevo in Bosnia, killing
Archduke Franz Ferdinand 'and his wife
Sophie. The sparks from this incident set
fire to the world and plunged it into a
war that cost 9,000,000 lives, 30,000,000
casualties, and $355,000,000,000.
Another such incident today could Ig-
nite the tinderbox of world politics. It
might happen again in the Balkans, or in
the Polish corridor, or in Manchukuo, or
on the Rhine, or on the Amur. And when
it did happen the war-weary and debt-
weary world would be goose - stepped
against its will -Into the trenches for a
new season of slaughter.
There is only one way by which the
nations can prevent this awful event. This
is to cooperate for sane disarmament and
decent debt settlement, to use to their full-
est utility the World Court and League of
Nations. Things do not look well for such
a reign of reason and law right now. But
there lies the only apparent alternative to
the suicide of civilization,
The world must choose between
Sarajevo or a Geneva.
a
WHO IS THE PUBLIC?
THE public has decided, thru its elected
I representatives, to exercise its right
to regulate the stock exchanges of the
country. (If there is any question con-
cerning this right it is only necessary to
recall that in all the open and subter-
ranean war to stop the enactment of the
new legislation the Issue of constitution-
ality was not seriously raised.)
“The public is to regulate the stock
exchanges. Who then is the public, or
who may properly represent the public?
An effort is being made to nominate
members of the stock exchanges or men
connected with the stock exchanges for
this duty. This notwithstanding the fact
that Congress voted down a proposal that
the regulating body should contain one or
more such persons.
The action of Congress, while negative,
would seem to preclude any danger of the
President turning the regulating job over,
even in part, to the men who are to be
regulated. But the report persists that
one of two such names are being strongly
urged upon him. For that reason it may
be worth while to consider what the duties
and responsibilities of the new securities
and exchange commission are.
First, the commission takes over the
administration of the truth-in-securities
law. This law requires the issuer, under-
writer and dealer in a security to furnish
the buyer with all of the Information the
latter needs to enable him to decide
whether it is a sound investment. It is n
pure-food law In the securities field, and
no more to be administered by the men in
the security business than the pure food
and drug act is to be administered by men
in the food and drug business,
, Second, the commission is to be so-
ciety's spokesman in the stock markets.
THE HARRIMAN ISSUE
CLOSING of the Harriman, Tenn., hosiery
U mills, in protest against the N.R.A.’s
lifting of Its Blue Eagle, is a major calam-
ity to that one-industry town, and a trag-
edy to the several hundred workers in
the plant.
But there are other workers to think
of in this situation. The Harriman Com-
pany discharged several workers shortly
after they formed a union last July. After
a strike in October on this issue, the
National Labor Board tried to effect a
settlement.. The upshot was the board's
finding that the company had acted in
"bad faith" In- collective bargaining a
violation of Section 7-A of the Recovery
Act.
The loss of the Blue Eagle caused a
halt in the expenditures of federal and
state relief funds for the company's stock-
ings.
Now it appeal's that the company is
willing to cut off Its own nose—along
with the noses of several hundred workers
—to avoid compliance. The latest of sev-
eral rejected settlement proposals, sub-
mitted by N.R. A. Administrator A. It.
drew analogies. Diocletian, it seems, dis-
tributed bread and failed to balance the
budget. The result was a business depres-
sion of 1200 years, the Republican party
not yet having been founded.
But in mentioning the matter it seems
to me Mr Mills acted unwisely. The Re-
publican charge is always that the present
administration is “Impeding the natural
forces of recovery." But I have never had
these forces clearly defined for me. In-
deed 1 doubt their existence. If 1200 had
| years followed the excesses of Diocletian,
it Would hardly seem that the natural
| economic tide toward betterment was in
any sense a rip current.
It may be pointed out to me that many
times America has had depressions, and
eventually crawled out Into something a
little better. But If there were a benefi-
cence in natural law we ought to find that
these economic disasters came less fre-
quently and less severely. w
That Is not the fact. The earthquakes
j are more closely spaced and far more vio-
lent. In particular unemployment thruout
the world has grown steadily.
But Mr. Hoover Tried It.
TF I understand the political philosophy
| I of Ogden Mills, America would even
now be rolling In peace and plenty if the
I government had kept Its hands off the
American business man and allowed him
to proceed in his Utopian way free of
codes, —collectivism" and “regimentation."
Glancy and accepted by the workers, shows
in its details that the company is unwill- |
• ing to compromise. The company also re-
fused to submit to an audit of payrolls to
determine the truth with regard to re-
hiring of strikers.
The government can and should tn’te
care of these strikers as it is doing for
other "stranded" populations.
But for the sake of workers every-
where who exercise their right under the
law to organize, it should also uphold to
the limit the collective bargaining guar-
antee of 7-A In this outstanding example."
MR. GARNER TOO MODEST
TOWN NANCE GARNER pretends to an
U inferiority complex about his job.
. In an American Magazine article the
Vice-President meekly accepts the role of
Mr. Throttlebottom, and plays a very soft
tune on his second fiddle.
"I am conscious of the obscurity and
unimportance of my office,” he writes.
"The Vice-Presidency is a fifth-wheel job.
Nobody gives it a thought save in a tragic
contingency. It is the spare tire on the
national automobile.”
Texas Jack longs for his really import-
ant job of Speaker of the House. There’s
"no thrill to being elected Vice-President."
The Vice-President is unfair to his of-
fice. It has dignity, especially under the
present administration in which the Vice-
President functions as a cabinet member
in fact as well as in name,
Mr. Garner is tremendously popular as
a presiding officer and was given a rare
sort of ovation by the Senate on its last
day. He has become a sort of liaison of-
ficer -between the White House and the
upper house.
Mr. Garner should buck up. The Vice-
Presidency is as good a job as the Vice-
President makes it. And he has made it
an important one.
The latest trend is toward colorful
furniture. But that’s nothing new to moth-
ers whose children have been playing with
crayons and water colors.
The Daily Nosegay
Mr. W. W. Merrett. -
Late County Commissioner,
Precinct 4.
Dear Bill:
You say if elected again, you'll begin
To spend all the taxes, fast as they come in:
At first glance that might seem now, as if
your fond dream now
Was to start right in where you left off
—with more steam now;
But as I thought over the dear dead past,
And the overdrafts you and your buddies
amassed,
Your promise at present, or it so seems to
me,
By comparison pledges you to strict econ-
omy.
Yours, etc.,
LESTER (Just call me Las)
Mr. Harry H. Boohe,
Sports Editor, The Press.
Dear Pop:
I see that you say you hope soon to be
roaming
The hills and the streams of_that dear
Wyoming:
Your intent being to catch a mess of brook
trout.
That would knock the eye of any fisher-
man out.
And that knowing home-folks will try to
put you on the spot.
You’ll bring back photographic proof—of
what, Pop, of what?
Yours, etc.,
LESTER (Just call me Les)
This experiment within the vivid mem-
ory of us all was tried during the term of
President Hoover. Not only was no Im-
provement noted, but on the contrary the
| economic situation was at its blackest when
the Republican leader quit office, 1 won-
der whether Mr. Mills honestly believes it
would have been a good idea to leave open-
ing U. S. banks to “the natural forces of
recovery." He himself sat in conference
at that time' and I should be surprised to
hear that his counsel was "do nothing at
all."
I wish it were possible to have a periu
feetly candid campaign. We would then
have the Republican party standing for the
retention of the old order; the Democrats
under Franklin D. Roosevelt” advocating an
evolutionary and decidedly curtailed move-
ment toward modified capitalism by in-
creasing governmental control, and the
Socialists and Communists advocating col-
| lectivism.
The Republicans .have a right to say
that the Roosevelt program is more radi-
| cal than their own, but it is perfectly silly
for them to call ft "Communism,” "Social-
ism" or anything of the sort.
Nor is there any warrant to charge the
Roosevelt regime has endangered democ-
racy. My own opinion is that President
Roosevelt is on the point of deciding that
| the mass of Americans desire a program
far more radical than he has yet establish-
ed or even suggested.
The mass of Americans may very well
desire many things which would make the
| hair of Ogden Mills stand on end like the
| fretful porcupine. But in that case it will
| be the fulfillment and not the betrayal of
j Democracy, to raise a pompadour upon
that noble brow.
----AS ONE WOMAN SEES IT----
What I Don’t Know
___By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON---
" TIM hates for me to play bridge oftener
J. than three afternoons a week,” vol-
‘unteered Peggy, the crisply cool mother of
two as she dealt the cards at a foursome.
"But he's out of town
now and 1 figure what
he doesn't know won't
hurt him.”
Excellent good sense,
thought the other three
of us, echoing Peg's
laugh and knowing the
harmless diversion
couldn't possibly bother
Jim. .
But just the same,
Peggy is the kind of
wife who never figures
that what she doesn’t
know won't hurt her.
Not by a long sight. If
Jim doesn’t keep her in-
formed about his move-

ments when in and out of town, she sus-
1 pects he’s up to mischief. She imagines
all sorts of devilments he can get mixed
| up with and if she isn't able to put her
| finger on him she is convinced he's putting
| something over on her.
I She expects Jim to give her a detailed
I account of his activities during the day
and while she holds out on him about her
fourth weekly bridge game she would be
perfectly furious if Jim did not tell her
about the poker party he gave last month
while she was visiting her mother.

go runs the merry-go-round of matri-
D mony. And out of such petty, childish
inconsistencies grow some of the unhap-
piest situations and the most foolish di-
vorce cases.
We are all illogical, I suppose, but
there are types of married women who
seem to lack the faintest sense of justice.
They have been bred, apparently, in the
belief that man is incapable of fidelity and
therefore never to be trusted; so, while
they condone their own white lies, they are
unable to forgive those used on them.
• An excellent motto for the bridal cham-
ber would be “What I don't know won't
hurt me."
It is sometimes true that our Jims are
detained at the office when they say they
are. Sometimes they do have an impor-
tant conference; sometimes they really
must meet a man at the hotel at 9 p. m.
The wise wife will be satisfied with what
she knows and will not go hunting for
trouble. Ignorance is certainly bliss in
the married relationship.

Education gives us a back-

What an old trick that one is
of pretending to see a silver lin-
I ing in every cloud. I like a
good healthy pessimism The
kind I mean is the kind that
labor.
The politicians tell us about
capital investment, profits and
dividends, but labor is never con-
sidered. Labor creates nil cap-
ital, but labor receives no divi-
dend. Labor doesn’t even receive
an American standard of livir
out of the capital it produces It
has become a custom, rathe r

ticlans serve the special interests
rather than the people who elect
them to office They have tried
to legalize hi-jacking for one
class and outlaw it for another,
but it cannot be done Favorit-

dares make it plain where he |
looks a diminishing return right

A ND that’s not all that's hap-
A pening, either, according to
Dr. Harlan True Stetson, re-
search associate in geophysicsat
Harvard. While that is going
on, he says in a book called
"Earth, Radio, and The Stars,"
the sun is taking enough time
from its chase after Hercules to
decide whether Amos and Andy
and other programs will come in
clearly over the radio tonight.
It’s a matter of sun spots -
.elements which may determine
whether the depression is over,
how long the drouth will last,
and the possibility of a third
term for President Roosevelt.

Dr. Stetson does not claim to
be able to make all these pre
dictions himself but in his book
:—which Intermarries for the first
time In history the sciences of
astronomy, g eology physics,
biology and radio engineering-
Dr Stetson has mustered more
information on the intimate re-
lationship between man and his
cosmic environment than has
ever been presented In language
A layman can understand.
He called It ‘cosmecology.

“As a race
of h u mane,"
he says, "we
find ourselves
aboard a ship
on the high
sea of space
...carried
eastward with
the earth s
daily rotation
at a velocity
of several
hundred miles
an hour "

thing will be all right just BC

Hercules and doesn't stray off to
chase some other heavenly body.
Otherwise, travel will remain
cheap, and we'll continue going
