Hoover Is Right
WE entirely agree with ex-President Hoover when he say
the Republican party "can't win elections by joyriding
on Democratie miatakei."
To win the Republican party mint be something more than
a negative party an agin'-the-government party,
We quote i
"Thar. It talk of fusion and edition, Lt m. mike but
ooa remark on that. It to a Kault d.toutly to bt wlahttl for.
But tha peopls fuM or eoal.o around ldMt and Idtala, not
around political bargain, or ttraUg.nu. If tn. lUpublleaa
party mMU th. nMdi and aspirations of th. people who ar
opposed to th. new deal, they will fuM and eoslsae. and not
before. Th. jwopl. only Join th. march when they know
wher. they ar. going."
Precisely.
We question the political wisdom of calling an "off year"
Republican convention to define the party's principles, but that
these prinoiplee must be defined, before the Republican party
can secure any wide epread popular support, is certain.
It is not enough to tell the people of this country, the
Republican party will not go in the direction the Democratic
party is going. This is an obvious assumption. Before the peo
ple will rally to its support, they will want to know just where
it IS going.
...
llR. HOOVER hss definite ideas regarding what this diree
tion should be, the goal that should be set. He wants
those idens incorporated in a declaration of principles, drawn
up now, instead of two years hence.

In the first place it will

In the second place, what

And thirdly, a preliminary
test of strength will not be immediate, but far in the future,

Making a Joke of Justice
THE acquiftal of La Verne Moore, alias John Montague, golf
wlvnrrl TTnllvu-nort nlnv.Viov anil ArnttrhilA voad-hftllfip
bandit, will have to be chalked up as another black mark against
the jury system.
As the judge remarked the verdict was not in accordance
with the evidence.
Moore's claim, that he changed his name, broke with family
and friends, started a new life in Hollywood, not because he
had committed a crime, but only because he had left his
OVERCOAT IN A BANDIT'S CAR, was certainly an insult
to any American jury's intelligence.
That Moore, alias Montague, should countenance the framing
of such a tnle, does not speak well for his alleged moral regen
eration. Far better had he made a clean breast of the crime,
and hia participation in it, explained it was a regrettable epi
sode in his wild and distant youth, and thrown himself on the
mercy of the court.
He would probably have been given a sentence, hut a light
one, and could have retained his self respect, and the respect
of others.
DliT probably such a noble attitude of self sacrifice, would
be too much to expect. To have the brand of felon marked
on you for the rest of your life is no pleasant prospect, and
no doubt nine out of ten men (exocpt in Hie movies), so accused
would do anything or say anything, a smart lawyer advised,
to get out of it.
But the jury IS to bin me. The state proved its case beyond
reasonable dnuht, and the defendant's feeble alibi, merely
sustained it.
With the crime wave what it is, and moral laxity in the
nation also, to overlook a brutal crime, such as this gang of
bandits committed, on the ground that it happened seven years
ago, and one of them was a good fellow and popular with the
movie set, is inexcusable. ,
The reprimand the court gave the jury was well deserved.
Such verdicts ns this not only defeat justice in the individual
case, but tend to undermine our entire system of criminal jurisprudence.

By FRANK JENKINS
Up ARB aUeged to be In the midst
of an ora of extreme prosperity
arising out of five years of the more
abundant life conferred upon us by
the politicians.
Yet the stock market la experienc
ing a aeries of sinking spells that are
disturbingly similar to those of 1629
and 1930.
Why thia paradox.
, f0 THIS writer, the answer seems
- quite simple,
People normally look their business
over critically about twice a year
on the first of January and on the
first of July, when they get their
statements for the paat alx months.
What they saw on the first of July
this year SHOCKED most ot them.
They had been going along during
' the spring months doing a whale of
a business, beating last year'a volume
all over the place. But when they
took a look at the NET PROFIT, as
shown by the six months figures, they
discovered that because of labor trou
bles, staggering upa in taxes, uncer
tainty aa to what the politicians will
do to Us next, etc., cost of doing busi
ness had Increased so sharply as to
bring net profits AWAY DOWN.
rISMAYED and disillusioned by
what their books told them, their
first reaction was to sell their stocks
and bonds while th. prloe was still
i But tn, tr0UD WM th4t ,very.
body found out the same thing at
i about the same time and EVERY-
BODY wanted to sell at once.
when everybody wanta to sell and
!nobody wantg buyi pB,CM TUM-
BLE.
That's what happened In the stock
market.
port nearly two yeara, business men
have seen costs steadily rising
and have been worried by that fact,
but they have hoped against hope
that Santa Claus might take care of
rising costs and still shower down a
satisfactory profit. What their books
told them on July 1 convinced them
that "there ain't no Santa Claus,
Hence the pessimism that haa ruled
the markets since that time.
pASTE thla in your hat:
If you spend more than you take
In, you'll GO BROKE.
When costs Increase prices must in
crease, and the more prices Increase
the leas people can afford to buy.
When profit suffer, wayes must
suffer sooner or later.
You can't pour a quart of water
out of a pint oup. )
TTHE sooner we come to a realia-
atlon of these fundamental facts,
the better It will be for all of ui.

One thing about the president, of

slwaya let his right hsnd man know
what his leftist doeth. This makes
It Interesting for advisers In general
and gives them something to think
about when they aren't advising.
When the president quoted from
Prof. O. M. W. Sprague In his last
fireside chat, there was a slight flut
ter in the waiting rooms.
Was Mr. Sprague. who graciously
withdrew from the Inner councils,
about to take his place again?
The Old Gray Squirrel reports that
the professor hasn't used either door

Friends of the power companies,
whose hackles rise whenever the
"seven sisters," as they call the pro
posed, regional authorities (Little
TVA's), are mentioned, read Secretary
Ickes' announcement of PWA reor
ganization and exclaimed, "ha-ha I"
Some of them had been Informed
by their scout a few days earlier
that the new PWA set-up waa com
ing. Also that the territories to be
Included In the seven new regional
(instead of state) offices would co
incide with those of the proposed
authorities.
This, they assert, is a deep plot on
Mr. Ickes' part. Hie Influence would
be entrenched in each region, and.
when the timbrels are sounded, for
the Little TVA's, the secretary could
play an obligato of loans and grants
for municipal power plants, or what
haven't you?
Another thing the folks who op
pose the "seven sisters" predict
and all of them aren't utilities mag
nates either is that Major General
Edward M. Markham, chief of army
engineers, la about to take his demls
alon. The reason assigned, which la no
