v i McAdoo Career: Ends
The score in Tuesday's democratic senatorial primaries
was 3 to 0. against the "100 per cent new deal" ideology, but
it offers onlv moderate satisfaction Jo those obseryersrwho
are1 looking for signs of a return to sanity in political thmK-
ing "Cotton Ed" Smith of South Carolina was upheld by ,the
democratic voters of his state; and there the issue was clear,
as nearly as it can be made out at this, distance, j Smith, 74
years old and a member of the' senate since 1909 had voted
with the new. deal on most measures but opposed xrourt pack.
; ingr, reorganization and a few others. So he was marked for
the purge, without any, equivocation. The political strength
and personal popularity !of his opponent, Olin D. Johnston, is
attested by the fact that he is governor of the state, r Yet.

v- Senator William Gibbs McAdoo of California was i re-
tired 'from public office, losing , out to Sheridan Downey,
mahosk principal talking point in the campaign was. the 30
every Thursday" pension scheme which may be on the ballot
in November. McAdoo's eclipse in itself is assuredly no seri
ous loss to the United States senate; ; his defeat despite the
administration support serves as new evidence that the voters
will not follow the Roosevelt lead blindly.
-But the fact that Downey and many other candidates
wlo esDoused the arjnarentlv unconstitutional r rid obviously
.Utopian pension scheme. received large. pluralities is not rer j
: assuring; it indicates juiai, in jxmui. m mc uic mo;
: one observer as "economically illiterate" is substantial. As the
- $30-bill has hurdled the supreme court barrier, the indica
tions are that it will pass in the November election, and then
California will be in position to determine whether Utopia,
i bv. tenuous tradition located on its shores, can be brought; to
: pass. . ' '
Meanu-hUp io retirement
i more, than passing attention. Born fn Marietta, Georgia, m
1 1863, his youth was marked by the poverty common to resi-
denta of that state, seared by Sherman's march to the sea. He
: struggled to gain a legal education, had fair success as a law
yer but failed in a large business -venture and went to New
York City, where, as the first highlight of his career, he led
! in the first financially successful program of tunnelingun
i derjthe Hudson river! to provide more rapid transit for met
ropolitant commuters! He was the first man to walk from
NewJJersey to Manhattan island under the river, j Four tun
! nel's tvere finally completed and their designation as the "Mc-
Ado tubes brought his name
J
To McAdoo himself, the
r service as secretary of the treasury in the Wilson admims-
l traction. His was the task of financing American participa-
' tion in the World war. The Liberty loans were his idea; he.
was also in charge of making the Joans to the allies, which
still constitute a live national and international issue.
; To McAdoo at that time also fell the difficult task of ad
ministering the railroads, which were in chaos as they faced
. the tremendous task of, moving war supplies and meeting the
wage demands, of the railway brotherhoods. His action grant
ing $600,000,000 additional wages is credited with opening
the wartime "silk shirt" era for laborers. ; ; i
Before American intry into the war, McAdoo had much
to do with establishing the federal reserve system, frst fed
eral income tax and federal farm loan program. Soon after
, the armistice he resigned the treasury post because -of health
broken by his strenuous labors in 'office. , j j 1

" At least twice, McAdoo had a direct role in determining
who should be elected president of the United States;. A pas
sive candidate in 1920, he was an extremely active I' one in
; 1924, and he and A1 Smith were the two leading candidates
! for nomination during the three weeks deadlock of that mem
orable, party convention which ended with the compromise
selection of John VL Davis. Many democrats claim that but
for the bitterness of that contest, a democrat would have
been elected president that year. ! I 5 :
Then there was; the dramatic convention ofj 1932 in
5hich he swung the 44 votes of-California, pledge, to John
Nance Garner, to Roosevelt at the strategic moment and a
i stampede to the Roosevelt banner resulted. ! f -,
- Riding the crest of the Roosevelt wave, .McAdoo was
; elected to the United States senate that.year, but his career
was waning. In the senate he has been far from a dominating
figure; he was absent much of the time due to illness -some
critics said due to a tendency to become an elderly, "playboy."
It was generally agreed that his only claim to favor in Tues
day's primary was his long record of service to the party and
to the nation; his actual usefulness to eitner was ipng since

William Strong was one of the
judges of the U. S." territorial

for Marion .co"unty for the period

Kendall had good lawyers -the
best available. . TVault. scholar,
editor, was a ' leading orator of
the territory. ; B. F. Harding, act

secretary of state, . U. S. senator,
etc. The hanging .'was of course
public. All - such were, then.
The 'method of committing the
murder, or some other particular
or circumstance, must have been
unusually revolting or prejudicial,
else Kendall would, not have
hanged for merely bumping .off ai

whose class was considered de-i

Follows records of the October,
1851, meeting of the court, with,
first, the statement that Benja-t

a "grocery" license for Edward
Dupuy, tendering the $200 annu

The place was likely on Upper
or Lower French Prairie, or Big

town of St. Louis was called the
place for the "grocery." It seem
ed then to be customary for at
torneys to attend to such license
matters. .

Secretary of Agriculture Wal
tr fAds ithe hungry. He does
Rut enmnaision is not the motive
that makes,' him so energetic. He
does not se out pnmaruj iu
the hungrj that is an incident
of" another Iparpose. To feed, the
hungry is the job of the state re
lief agencies. Bat after the state
arpritlps have given the hungry
la if . allowance. Mr. Wal
lace' comes 'along and gives them
more. ' No doubt the hungry don't
get any more than enopgh; even
with Mr. Wallace's coniriouiion
thrown In.
But one jwonders just .why' Mr.
Wallace fe0ds the hungry. Why.
is he so eaier to give away fooai
He looks for opportunities to give
It away. Rjecently ie ordered his
subordinates to: ' ' -
"Make a borough survey of the
situation in! each of the -48 states
to determlsewhcthcr additional
supplies of farm crops beyond
those now being - consumed .re
needed to keep the families of un
employed workers adequately
nourished . . .
. ., u. Net Addition"
Mr. Wallace is careful to say
that the food he gives' the unem
ployed is something extra lie
underscores the. words - '.'net add!
tion" in the following announce
ment: i I ' , Y
"We must be sure that any sur
plus commodities supplied to fam
ilies on relief are in so far as pos
sible & net addition to thev amounts
already beiflg consumed.
Again. , In an announcement
about iviri? wheat products to
unemployed persons, MrJ
Wallace
directs:
"State agencies are rehuired to
distribute the products to - relief
families in ; addition to, I and not
in substitution for, commodities
which they already buy or receive
locally
Plainly, Mr. Wallace is! extreme
ly eager toi give away rood. If
we seek' the; reason for nis eager
ness, we find it in the opening
words of one of his announce
ments: "In view of the existing
surpluses of many farm commod
ities, 7 . ;
That's the answer.- It isn't the
hungry ' that make Mr. Wallace
anxious it's the surpluses of
farm crops.; Mr. Wallace wants
a way to get rid of those surplus
es. He wnts and th Es is - his
real purpose and his real anxiety
he wantsj to keep the prices of
farm crops jup.
Mr. Wallace, with gdvernment
money, buyi the surplus commod
ities from jfarmers, dea lers, and
processors, j He does n t do his
buying in such a way as to get it
at the lo -t price available. Not
ai aii. - lie saoes u in sucn a way
as to keep-the price up. .Indeed,
he does most of 'his buying for
the precise! purpose of keeping
prices up. j To the farmers the
prices-of crops are not high, they
are low. They are much lower
than Mr. Wallace five years ago
promised tiey would be. They
would be yet lower than) they are
if Mr. Wallace did not do all his
buying. ' "'
' - L. Mustn't Say It ,:
Mr. Wallace, in his buying, does
not use th phrase "kejep prices
up." He uses such phrases as
"improve market conditions." For
example, AAA, announcing pur
chases of limits, vegetables, and
flour, says: "These products will
be bought when prices aire low to
help improve market-conditions."
Again, AAA announces it will buy
fresh snap beans: "The purchases
will be piade to help-market con
ditions Whea prices are Bow." In
one announcement AAA gives the
whole story away: ' I
"The purchases of commodities
distributed for relief n$e By the
welfare agencies were imade by
the federal surplus commodities
corporation to remove surpluses
and to help farmers improve sell
ing conditions."
If AAA ajnd Mr. Wallace were
candid theyj would say something
like this: "jWe want to keep the
prices Of crops np. In order to
keep prices! up,- we go. Into the
market and j buy. In order to -get
rid of what we buy, we' give It
away to relief agencies."; If there
were no. persons on relief for Mr.
WaHce togire his surpluses to,
he would bej embarrassed. '
Those Above Suffer
For those? on relief there must
