MAN Sdt'Kl.niKD ANEW (Mnyfleld, Ky., Messenger) We are of the opinion that the sun and tho moon and other bodies In our ctheral un iverse do have some control over things on earth, and even on human bclnsa. If the moon can control as big a thing as the Pacific or Atlantic ocean, surely It could have some effect on a crop of potatoes, or corn, or even a human being. t J.

A college professor has figured It out. that the present epldemle of crackpot Ideas, that thread their way Into the contentment of many lives. Is due to "the people think ing."

Here is a man not even a citizen of this country, convicted and sentenced after a fair trial, of the most heinous crime, in all the annuls of criminal jurisprudence, and he still goes unpunished. THINK of itl This crime was committed cq the first da of March, 9,!2 FOUR TEARS AG01 Hauptmann was con victed a year ago last Thursday, and sentenced to die in the electric chair on Murch 18, 1933. Tet on Sunday yesterday Samuel Libowitz, famous crim inal lawyer, financed by a wealthy Washington, D. C, socialite, announced he had a very satisfactory four hours conference with Bruno Hauptiuann, and could report "progress." PROGRESS! What SORT of progress! Progress toward more delay, more obstruction of justice, the raising of more doubt in the mass mind, of the guilt of this convicted baby kidnaper and slayer 1 Haven't we had about enough progress in that direction! During all this time, and amidst all this delay not one scintilla of evidence has been reasonable or unreasonable, regarding the man's guilt j nothing to really support the assumption there were others than he, responsible for the crime. Rut if others WERE responsible 1 Would that make Haupt mnnn's guilt any less reprehensible, the necessity of his prompt punishment any less demanding! Where does the money come from to prevent the securing of plain justice in this case, where does the public sympathy eome from for this alien, a criminal in his OWN country, and guilty of the most atrocious, venal and of THIS country! It is a mystery to us and a mystery, we believe, to all fair minded and right thinking people. BUT mystery or no mystery, this clear and indisputable fact remains, just as the kidnaping and slaying of the Lind bergh baby, and the acceptance of ransom money, after the deed had been done, marked a new low in the dark history of Amer ican crime, and criminals; the TREATMENT of that case from Ilauptmann's eonviction to the present time, is the most sensa tional and disgraceful exhibition of the law's delay and this country's maudlin sentimentality, where crime is concerned, that has ever been recorded in the country's history! Counting the Chickens w ELL, boys, the returns are has been completed and Against the New Deal For the New Deal Majority against. 482,944 We have to admit this allowing is colossal, ovc-whelming and if thia poll IS, aa all other Literary Digest polls have been, an accurate prognosis of the result, then the Repuhlicana in November will go in on another landslide, and WHAT a landslide! WE reelir.e precedents are against us. In the past those who hav- dared to douht the accuracy of the Digest's compila tions have had to ;at crow and "take a walk" up Salt Creek. Nevertheless, we do question this poll, as far as an exact prediction of the results this fall are concerned. Not that we doubt the probability of a Republican victory. Hut we don't believe it will be anywhere near the ratio above. For the question as presented was such a general one. "Do you or do you not approve of the New Deal policies?" What did that meant all of themt Or 5176 of them, or some but not othrrst No if the question had been: "As things now stand do you intend to vote for Roosevelt at the next election cr vote against him t " the result would have been far more convincing. Put with the election-still nine months away, and with the candidate and platform of the opposition party still unknown even that outcome, would have been open to considerable question. For things, AM things are so scrambled up. Few people have really made up their minds how they will vote in Novem ber. Thousands of them will vote against Roosevelt if a Liberal is nominated by the Republicans; and vote FOR him if the 0. 0. r. lets nature take its course and goes smug snd reaction ary again. So much depends upon what may happen during the next nine months. TlOWI'.VI'.li for the Republican?-, sufficient unto the day are the glad tidings thereof. We grant they have a right to hold a little celobintion over the final Digest showing, in fact future developments might demonstrate the wisdom of having taken n. milage nf the PRK.SF.NT opportunity!

Discussing this subject In the Archives of Otolaryng ology. May, 1035, Dr. Lewis J. Silvers saia: McKenzle suggested that steriliza tion of the focus In the tonsil is re sponsible for the clearing up of symptoms. This may be refuted on the ground that pain is often relieved before total sterllratlon of the focus. Ealmer offered the viewpoint that "Dlathermocryptectomy" by destruc tion of myriads of bacteria In situ produces a reaction in the Individual analogous -to an autogenous vaccine reaction. Then there remains the possibility that a nonspecific protein reaction occurs Dr. Silvers, who as a pioneer in this field has had extensive experience, holds that the virulence of the bac teria In the septic focus In the tonsil determines the degree of reaction from the treatment, rather than the amount of treatment at each sitting. Thus where the notorious hemolytic Streptococcus la the predominating organism in the tonsil, the local and general reactions are most marked and may be repeated In diminishing NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O.

QUESTIONS AND ANHWKRS High Blood Pressure Note you say no food creates high blood pressure.

Their threat value Is NAMES in the NEWS ONE of the first things a cub reporter learns is that names make news. There are two kinds of names which make news. Names of people. And names of things products and services things which touch you more closely than the thunderings of a Senator or the esca pades of a Prince. Look through the advertisements in this newspaper and you'll see names you've known most of your life. Dependable names names that stand for value announcing improvements in quality, improvements in service, new and better ways to perform old household tasks, ways to save money and raise your standard of living. Follow the news those names are making, day after day. Read the advertisements regularly, and use them as millions of other people are doing to keep up-to-datf in the world of goods and services; to save time, effort and trouble in shopping; to help budget your expenditures and get the most for your money, probably greater than their actual value. These counselors probably will pre vail, mora or less. In the end. Postmaster General Farley's right hand political prognoatlcator.

Thia theory writes off the rest of the east aa probably lost, but claims the whole of the south and the bulk of the weat for Roosevelt. The extent to which the economy fever has possessed congress can be discovered in house consideration of the war department appropriation bill. The house sub -committee work ed so hard on the bill that each member congratulated his fellow members In speeches on the floor. Thfir diligent toil in the public In terest was begun last December and the terrific ceaseless strain was over only a few days ago. The net result of the strain was a curtailment of $44,000 in the 1375. 000.000 appropriation for military activities. That Is about one-ninth of one per cent. At the same time the happy but weary legislators let it be known that they are in favor of tho strictest economy. That tells the story. Everyone in Washington Is in favor of economy, but not necessarily to the extent of cutting anything. Note Congress is thoroughly sold on national defense. War scare stories have frightened the legislators. There wsi less than normal reslstasce to this bill, which boosted army costs 'by 24,000.000 over the current year. Two adjoining stories In a recent issue of the Johnston City (Illinois) Progress, were: No. 1. "More than two weeks ago Johnston City made application for a 70.0O0 WPA project to help stop the flood which is threatening to destroy Its coal mines." No. 2. "An extensive recreational project was launched in Johnston City this week, with $7,344 allotted to carry on the work. The project will Include instruction in checkers, cal isthenics, mass games, indoor and outdoor group games, etc. Pinochle, bridfie and dancing will be included If the community does not object." The official Inside explanation of Why Passamaquoddy and the Florida ahlp canal funds were left out of the war department appropriations bill was that the bill was thought to be too big. That Is, it would have looked bad to Include all that money. Interested parties here have been noticeably calm. The Quoddy boys say Mr. Roosevelt will find funds for it all right. The ship cana lists whis per that the senate will Insert the money for that project.
