It's Up to Hauptmann
AT a mass meeting in New York last night, several thousand
people contributed over $2000 to help finance Bruno
Iiiiuplmann' appeal.
Mrs. Hauptmann and her baby were there. So was Haupt
mann 's chief attorney, Edward J. Reilly.
Mrs. Hauptmann deplored the kidnaping and slaying of the
Lindbergh baby, and expressed deep sympathy for its parents,
because she and her husband have a baby boy of their own.
Mr. Reilly, maintained the Hauptmann conviction a gross
miscarriage of justice, declared the man guilty of the crime
should be drawn and quartered and he defied anyone to prove
that Bruno Hauptmann was even in the state of New Jersey
the night of the kidnaping.
Such enthusiasm was aroused the principals had difficulty
in making their way from the hall, because of the cheering,
milling crowd.
Well timed to secure the maximum dramatic effect, came a
press report, from Boston this morning, that more ..Lindbergh
ransom money had been passed at the airport in that city, and
federal operatives are investigating.
,
WHAT does it all mean? Can it be the Flemington jury
made a ghastly mistake? Could ANY jury or any person,
carefully reviewing the evidence, entertain any reasonable doubt
as to Hauptmann 's guilt!
Wc think not. A stronger case against a defendant could
scarcely be imagined, than the case the state built up against
this German carpenter. True there were no eye witnesss to the
crime. In such a crime, there seldom are. Also true, no doubt,
no one saw Hauptinann in New Jersey that fatal night.
But if he were NOT there, if he IS innocent of this crime,
then how did he get the ransom money; why did he write the
ransom notes, for there is no doubt he DID write them,
where and how did lie get the sleeping suit of the murdered
infiintf , How did it happen the kidnap ladder was made from
lumber taken from the Hauptmann home, and that in that home,
written on the walls, were the Condon phone numbers t
pJO, UNTIL these things are explained away, the finger of
fe'uilt points straight at one man, and one man alone,
Bruno Richard Hauptmann. But Bruno Hauptmann has not
explained them, and in his attempt to do so, on the stand, not
only made a flimsy case, but on many important points admitted
he had lied.
. .
THERE is one man in this world who can clear up this Lind
Henrh lriilnn ninfv nnen nnpn nnrl Fni nil fiVT.V nn.
that man is BRUNO HAUPTMANN.
He KNOWS what he did that
He knows where he got the ransom money, he knows why; he
wrote the ransom notes, he knows how it happened Jafsie's
phone numbers were written on the walls of his home, and parts
of the ladder came from his attic.
If innocent he could either clear himself or raise a REASON
ABLE doubt in five minutes. If implicated in tbe kidnaping
plot, but guilty neither of murder nor the actual seizure of the
child, ho could establish these facts, in a few hundred words.
Let Hauptmann come clean, tell everything he knows, and
if his conviction in the light of the facts, represents a miscar
riage of justice, he need not worry about the reversal of the
judgment.
OUT to hold public meetings to raise money and create sytn"
pathy by appeals to ignorance and class prejudice, to admit
perjury and seek to benefit by it from others, to maintain ho is
innocent simply, because there were no eye witnesses, and he
has a "little baby of his own" such tactics may delay his grim
fate, but certainly can't prevent it.
The key to Hauptmann 's fate lies in his own hands. If he
rofuses to behave like an innocent man, or a man who while the
beneficiary of tho ransom money, neither kidnaped the baby
nor killed it, then he can blame no one but himself, for tho
injustice ho claims. ,
Tho only possible explanation for a man condemned to death,
not telling everything ho knows about the case, and coming
clean, is that he is guilty, and knows he is guilty, as charged.

INEBRIATION A
An educated Class B. Fool writes:
'To really be mentally alert I find
that I have to take a stimulant. It
seems to give me
more nervous en
ergy. If I do not
take a stimulant
I find It difficult
to hold my own
In ft discussion
or argument, ai
Ideas and the ef
fective way of ex
pressing them do
not come to my
mind as fast as
they should."
My books of
quotations do not inform me who
classified fools, but some one opined
they belong In three classes, viz.,
plain fools (class A), damned fools
(class B), and I beg pardon (class
C).
There are millions of class B fools
In the same predicament aa the cor
respondent describes.
Class A fools use tobacco,, usually
cigarettes, as their "stimulant." Class
B fools use alcohol. And the doubly
qualified class use drugs.
Every one, I suppose, finds It dif
ficult to "hold his own" In any dis
cussion or argument. Every one, too,
thinks of a better answer, a brighter
remark or a more appropriate toast
some time after the occasion. Most
of the "natural" wit displayed In
such encounters la the after-thought
of previous encounters. Unless one
does review the whole thing after
ward, mull the question over In one's
mind, debate It with oneself. It Is
plumb silly to enter Into arguments
or discussions at all. But this hsblt
of taking stock or reviewing the dis
cussion afterward makes such argu
ments educational.
By "stimulant" the correspondent
means alcohol In one form or an
other, I take It. Webster gives aa
one definition for the word stimu
lant "an alcoholic beverage."
But Webster Is In error If that
definition Implies that alcohol Is a
stimulant In the physiological sense.
As Webster correctly says, a stimu
lant Is an agent which produces tem
porally Increase of vital activity In
the organism or In any of Its parts.
If the dose of alcohol la large
enough to cause any appreciable
change In the circulation. It Is In
the nature of depression rather than
stimulation. Alcohol never acts as a
true stimulant to the brain, the spi
nal cord, or tho nervps. (The two
foregoing statements are quoted ver
batim from Hare's "Practical Thera
peutics.") Hare further observes that
"so far as the brain Is concerned, it
docs not Increase the vigor of thought
nor its depth, nor does it enable a

many conditions, though not as a

So I ssy thst any one who would
resort to alcohol for the purpose
which this fool describes Is one.
That's how Inebriety begins.
But back of It, I believe. Is the
cigarette habit. Subtle propaganda
teaches plain fools, young boys and
girls, that a cigarette Is a good sub
stitute for athletic prowess, physical
stamina or cleverness, or that It ac
tually helps one to achieve these
things, or that It enables one to get
by without them. This Is a ruinous
deception, and the fact that It has
made such headway with the young
fools Is a reproach to popular edu
cation. Our educators are afraid to
teach the truth, lest they lose their
Jobs.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Moronity In Family
If a woman of good ancestry were
to marry a man whose brother is
mentally below normal, what would
be the chances of defective offspring?
The man's parents are normal, only
this one brother seems to be an idiot.
(W. C.)
Answer. If the parents are normal
and the man himself is normal she
should not hesltatte to marry him.
Various Illnesses in childhood may
causa arrest of mental developments,
and there Is nothing heritable In that.
Keep Water Out of Nose
Snuffing a little cold water through
the nose once or twice a day Is sup
posed to prevent head colds and sore
throat. One advocate even suggests
drinking cold water through the nose.
. . . (R. B. J.)
Ans. Who does the supposing? It
Is unnatural to snuffle cold water or
to let any enter the nose. Only
physiological salt solution should be
used when nasal spray or washing la
necessary, and any liquids applied
to the nasal passages should be
warmed to the temperature of the
body.

Just want to report that your val
uable little pamphlet on "Unbidden
Quests" has put us under obligation

Can we escape ALL the responsi

DON'T. The methods of these horse

same.
Human nature is pretty much the

V. S. Mull vs. John Bull
To the Editor:
In Monday's Tribune, Feb. 25th,
appeared an article In bold head
lines which read: "Efficient Service
Pride of Brlttsh Postal Officials.
American Visitors . Amazed by Fast
and Accurate Delivery Special De
livery Stamps Not Needed. By Gayle
Talbot, London. (AP)."
Those American visitors evidently
were not posted on the efficient serv
ice of the postal department of their
own country. Very few take the time
to Investigate. They are too busy
with other things, and Uncle Sam
fails to do his part In advertising
one of the most efficient and useful
services of our government. ,
To show efficiency this London ar
ticle, among other things, has this to
say: "A letter mailed to Brighton, 62
miles away, by noon Is delivered the
same evening without fail." In an
other Instance it aays: "Suspenders
Good Address" "Posted across the
top of the envelope Is the fragment
of a pair of red-and-whlte suspend
ers. Beneath is Inscribed: "To the
Bond street habcrhasher who stocks
the braces London."
There must be 500 haberdashers on
Bond street If there Is one but that
didn't bother the postman much. He
simply carried his suspenders letter
along until he came to the shop that
could show him a duplicate. Then he
delivered it and went whistling on
Tais way.
"The man In Singapore got his
braces by return mail."
Now that's nothing. We never pay
any attention to such happenings In
this country; Those are every-day
happenings with us boys In the serv
ice here and we think nothing of It
Only the other day I mailed a let
ter addressed "To the Gal I Left Be
hind Me." Bells, Texas. On Monday
morning. Feb. 25. at 10 o'clock my
wife mailed an answer to that letter
in a rural box with a 6c atr mall
stamp on It. The nearest air mall
post was 80 miles away. On Tuesday.
Feb. 26 at 2 p. m. that letter was
delivered on my desk here In Med
ford, Oregon. 2300 miles aay. and It
had no special delivery stamp on It
either.

No, Mr. Riley, my first recommen

In tbe fire to learn If it will be burn
ed the same as our hand was burned,
but If one can not learn by any other
means, so be It.
In view of all the wars, poverty,
crime and other signals telling us
something Is wrong we still seem to
be at a loss to know whas the cause of
It all can be. Along comes the big
gest and best depression yet produ

ions are caused by an incorrect eco
nomic system.
I trust that we all may be patient
while lessons are "being learned.
Mr, Hoover had never before been
burned by a depression. He knows
now he had not given depression
enough thought. He suggested the
use of auto-suggestion treatment,
then a forced rest and no feed cure.
This acted as an emetic and he was
thrown up, or was It OUT?
Then the "new deal" gave us the j
blood transfusion in the form of a ;
vast amount of money, borrowed
from somebody. The effect it had on
our morbid circulation is to some a
mystery. Thla much however. Is
plain. The U. S. Internal revenue re
port states there were 26 more in
comes of a million dollars or more In
1933 than in 1932. One of these ex
ceeded five million. This was an out
come of the Increased business made
possible by the "new deal" transfus
ion. This much at least is gone from
our circulation - all ready. Our rich
men do not spend all their Incomes
for commodities of lire. It is a phys
ical impossibility. The only way this
money can be acquired again Is by
another loan.
We have heard It claimed these
large fortunes are not removed from
circulation. The fact that the last
issue of long and short time govern
ment bonds were over subscribed 5
and 7 times respectively should help
to prove the fallacy of that state
ment. I think the same thing would pre
vail on a much larger scale under
the T. O. P. plan. I think the leak
would be so eminent that even my
fellow Mlssourlans would discover the
seat of our economic troubles which
in turn Is the cause of many of our
other existing troubles.
