H, A, { THE WASHINGTON ‘“NEW DEAL” BY RODNEY DUTCHER * Washington—Louis R. Glavis, investigator extraor dinary is back on the job—nearly 25 years after he was fired from the government service because he insisted on saving the American people $100,000,000. . His gift for self-concealment is g 0 remarkable that hardly anyone knew he was director of the Depart ment of Interior’s division of investigation until it was disclosed that he had unearthed the evidence against two southern power companies which are now accused of misusing and abusing government power plants at Muscle Shoals, Glavis has contributed to exposure of many of the major national scandals of the last three decades— the Ballinger affair, the Teapot Dome "deals, the Mexican documents, the “power trust” eXpose, the Ku Klux Klan secrets, the Indian Bureau scandal and various others. There are many who know Glavis and parts of his exkraordinary career, but few who know :Glavis and all of it. And no one would guess it {rom merely meeting him in his new office—a tall, good looking man who must be nearly 50, well dressed, some what bald, a friendly disarming type of man, who gring often and speaks in a soft, slow drawl Glavis is technically a lawyer, but most of all a man with a passion for investigating. Twenty-five years ago he had charge of the Pa cific Coast and Alaska special investigating agents in full command. He found that corporations and in the division to which he has now been returned their representatives nad filed about 900 coal land entries of 160 acres each in Alaska—dummy entries all, involving what was then estimated as some $100,000,000 of federal land. He got the evidence. Richard A. Ballinger, who had been commission er of the Land Office until he took a year off in which he represented some of the coal claimants, had meanwhile been appointed secretary of the in terior by President Taft. He supported the validity of the claims despite the protests of Clavis—and Glavis was fired after he had obtained the support of Gifford Finchot, who was then in charge of the national forests, in part of which the coal claims were located. Glavis pub lished his charges, 3 A storm of controversy broke out over the coun try—which helped wreck the Taft administration. Louis D. Brandeis, now supreme court justice, and Joe Cotton, afterward assistant secretary of state, were attorneys for Glavis at he investigation and Glavis, who stood successfully against the assaults of "Senator Elihu Root. ﬁPlnchot_ was fired, but Hallinger resigmed [and Taft appointed a successor who cancelled all the claims. ; Glavis practiced law and then went investigating for magazines. Before Teapot Dome and Sinclair and Doheny became famous he had raised the oil issue. He obtained all the secret documents of the Kklan from its imperial palace at Atlanta and exposed them to the world. Then came the spurious Mexican documents, ac cusing Senator LaFollette, jorris and others of ac cepting hundreds of thousands of dollars of “bol shevik money.” Glavis was employed by the Mexi can consul general in New York to prove them fraudulent. He did. Next he made a pﬂvato in vestigation of the “power trust.” Probably no other government employe will' ever equal the record of Theodore E. Shuey, dean of the Senate’s official reporters, who is dead after 65 y?rs of service during which he didn’t miss a sin gl€ day on the job. He first worked in the same Congress that had impeached and almost removed Andrew Johnson from office. He served from 1868 through the re construction period, the hey-dey of free silver agi tation, the World War years and into the new era of F‘r:—mklln Rooseyelt. Shuey used to recall times when senators would get up and start talking for four days at a time, sometimes including night sessions. “Those were bitter days and they fought out big political questions,” he reminisced. “There were lots of Republicans and only a bare handful of Democrats to defend the interests of the south. But they used to waste a lot of time on oratory. Now omit flowers.” If you don’t believe that a senator could and would speak for four days running, Shuey would cite you such old names as those of Garrett Davis of Ken tucky and John A. Logan of Illinois. And you could look it up in the Congressional Record, for which Shuey had taken it all down. Like other old congressional employes he mourn ed the departure of the old bosses wno ended with Boise Pénrose. But no one could ever get faithful old Mr. Shuey, bent and shuffling as he was, to retire or takes another job. He liked “the nice at mosphere of the Senate, being surrounded by nice gentlemen and fine personalities.” He had many offers, but always refused to have anything to do with “the sordid things one meets up with in the field of competitive business.” And every_year, on his birthday-—he was 87 on his last one—a senator would arise to pay public tribute to old Mr. Shuey. ‘WHITE HOUSE NOTES: Movies continue to be shown at the White House, Roosevelt’s favorites are Mickey Mouse and newsreels. Hoover's favorites were newsreels. . . . Two books are in the presi dent’s office—“The Chesapeake Bay Country” and “The American Black Chamber.” The first concerns the territory through which President Roosevélt will journey when he takes his first trip on the cruiser waiting for him at Balti more. The second is Major Herbert Yardley's sen sational account of his work decoding secret mes sages of foreign governments in war and postwar days. Yardley and another book not yet published were the objects of the“official secrets” bill, which recently created a furore before its passage because jts original form threatened to put a lot of news papermen in jail. 3 The president’s nautical turn of mind is expressed in many parts of the White House, chiefly by hun dreds of marine and river pictures. His office book ends are casts of harpooning whalermen, and he tells time by a clock in the form of a many handled ship’s steering wheel which is attached to a desk set bearing a barometer of similar design. Roosevelt has a great fondness for what he calls “chits,” Brief notes which he scribbles on small pieces of pad paper and sends to his cabinet mem bers and other subordinates off and on during the day as he sits at his desk. A new camera for air mapping has been perfect ed. It has four lenses, eight filters, and an electri cally operated ground-speed indicator. New Jerscy has the busiest airways in the world according to the 1932 annual report of the New Jersey State Department of Aviation. THE CRISIS HAS PASSED With prices increasing on commodities; industrial plants resuming operation; the government expanding and providing ways land means for the inflation of money ard for reducing the unemployed situation, the lwhole country is taking on new life, an era of better times is being felt in all sections. | Confidence is being restored and the morale of the people improved. With such condtions existing, the period of depres sion ig bound to be overcome and a ‘“‘new deal” will settle and make safe for a sub «tantial rehabilitation of all lines of com merce and industrial pursuits, In the cotton mill belt of the routhern states, the miils are operating, not only on full ime, but in many instances, these mills are working three shifts, day and night. 'The demand for goods is growing and ad ivance orders for several months have been [booked. Crops throughout the south and west are most favorable and unless some ‘disaster arises before harvesting time, the farmer will grow an abundance of food ‘and feedstuff, Dbesides increased dairy iproducts and poultry production, A ~ Keeping apace with the times and meet ing conditions as they arise, times are bound to improve and normalcy will soon te restored. | | SHATTER-PROOF GLASS The New York legislature has taken «an advanced step for the protection of auto ist and bus passengers in enacting legisla tion to require all motorists and operators of public huses to have their cars equip ped with shatter-proof glass. The require ‘ment is one of advancement for the safety and protection of travelers. Half of the automobile casualties restult from shatter ed glass in collisions or other car mix-ups on the streets and highways. The New York law will become effec tive for buses on the first of January 1934 while passenger cars will not be required to be equipped with shatter-proof glass until late in 1934. The law is a splendid one and should be enacted in every state in the union. Already thousands of cars are equipped with the shatter-proof glass which has proved a great success in avert ing many serious accidents. The Georgia legislators would make no mistake by enacting a similar law during its next session or even at an extra session, should one be called by the governor. “A ¥FAIR IN EVERY COUNTY” The Association of Georgia Fairs has adopted as its slogan, “A Fair in every county”. This organization has contrib uted much to the betterment and improve ment of the agricultural interests in this state. In a large number of the counties fairs have been organized and will be held during the fall season. The association is meeting in Atlanta this week, and it is ex pected that several more counties will fall in line and decide to hold fairs. The con vention will be attended by several hun dred officials of fairs and county agents. Senator Huey Long, the kingfish of Louisi ana politics, will deliver the chief address for the fair officials. sl In days gone by, Athens has held many successful fairs, not confined to Clarke county, but ineluding: number of counties in this section of thes:ate. It is not too late to hold a creditable fair here this fall. Such an enterprise would attract thous ands of visitors and furnish wholesome amusement for the people in this trade territory. Besides the fair in itself would be an attraction of worthwhile importance to the farmers of this section. Premiums for agricultural exhibits, poultry, canning of fruits, vegetables, sewing and knitting \ garments and various other exhibits that would prove interesting and profitable to the exhibitors. i L ) As a matter of fact, the Chamber of Commerce could not inaugurate any move ment that would be received with more %'eperal interest than an old time county air. THE PASSIiNG OF THE TECHNOCRAT: A fad of highly colored propaganda and publicity gdlore appeared in all of the newspapers of the country setting forth the discovery of a solution for the depres sion and all other ailments of the country. The high-minded and intellectual sponsors of the new discovery of prosperity blazed forth their teachings of the new process in a most radiant style, but now the pro moters appear to have gone into retreat for consultation and explanation. ~ After all, there is not so much in a name. If the new process of elimination of the depression had been named" “Tokosky” in stead of Technoerats, its success would have been of equal duration. However, the promoters of the. discovery are inactive, and it may be that the world will be de prived of the benefits of this imaginary bgcon to commercial and industrial inter ests. 1t is true that congress has stepped into the limelight with a program that may bring relief to the nation’s ills, but until the government plans have been proved a failure, we would be unwilling to favor the inauguration of Technocracy in this gm;ntry until all other remedies have ailed. Let us bear in mind that such a remedy as Technocracy hag been invented, and hold ourrelves in readiness to act immedi ately following the reform and rehabilitat ing programs as offered by President Roosevelt have been enacted into law by the congress of the United States. ?

DID IT EVER OCCURTO YOU - - A Little of Everything, Not Much of Anything BY HUGH ROWE No, there is nothing new to day in the congressional cam paign, so far as we know, but we do not know very muche However, some of the prospec tive candidates are liable to crash into the race at any time. Mr, 'H. C. Doolittle, the welk known shoe merchant, has been ‘urged by many of his friends to announce his candidacy for con-{ gress, and it may be that he will within the next few! days. He has the matter under consideration and will decide his course before 'the closing entrance date, which has been run up by Governor Ta!-‘ madge to the fifth of July. | Those who have the leisure and are politically inclined in thought, can find some one to talk with about the congres siohal race without having to stir up a disturbance in crder to congregate a crowd. 'lf you should see a group of ex cited citizens talking in a boister ousg manner, do not become alarm ed and get the idea that a fight or near-fight is going on. It ig noth ing more nor less than a good na tured gathering of citizens discuss ing the possibilities of this or that citizen becoming a candidate for congress. And why not? The time for holding’ the election will soon be here—in time for the Fourth of July barbecues and watermelons. Speculating and exhorting the people to cast their ballots for this or that candidate will be the popular mode of cam- paigning' in the coming race %or‘con;'fess, it is oxpocied. Among the candiddates and the prospective candidates, there are several of the silver tongued vari ety of orators, who will hold forth on the hustings day and night. Brass bands for music and barbe cues for the eats with 8.2 beer to wash it down, the’' candidates are bound to draw record breaking crowds, but how many votes such programs will influence, well that is another “howdy-do”. One thing to be thankful for is the early date for the election. It will all be over before harvesting time. There has been some talk about holding a primary, but a majority, if not all of the can didates, prefer to take “pot” luck on the popular vote and the plurality plan. If there is only 30,000 votes cast the plurality will “ not run very high. However, the candidate re ceiving the plurality, if it is only one vote, will be declared the win ner, if it is only by a nose. We hope that only the best of feeling will prevail between the rival can didates and the supporters of the respective candidates. Falling out and brawling around is a heavy‘ toll to pay for the election of a congressman. Let's start out coot and calm and remember thatitis only another election and that there will be many more, if we live long enough. : Willie listened attentively one day to the story of the lamb that was eaten by the wolf, “You see, Willie,” said ‘his mother, “if the lamb had remained in the fold, whete it belonged, it would never have been devoured by the wicked, cruel wolf, would e v “No,” said Willie thoughtfully; “we would have had i for dinner.” SEVEN YEARS AGO | May 24, 1926 i Cotton: ‘l7 cents. .

Fleming Unit of the Américan Legion Aux iliary, declared Wednesday as the Unit members continued prepara tions for the observance of Poppy Day here Saturday. She expressed belief that the wearing of the poppy in honor of the war dead would help +Treawaken a strong gpirit of ' patriotism for the na tion's pehce-time efforts. “The poppy is the badge of re memberance for those who sacri fisad their . lives in the country's service,” Mrs. Saye said. ‘lt stands for the highest type of pa triotistn that we ecan conceive. It recalls the spirit of those days wheén every American was dedica ting his energies and resources to the national cause and when life itself was not too much to give for the country. “Remembering those days, it is difficult to understand how Amer ‘teans can be daunted by the coun try’s present difficulties. A people who only fifteen short years ago united with such devotion and en ergy to meet a war emergency, most certainly have the power to meet any emergencies of peace. The poppy, that symbol of patri otic sacrifice, should awaken in all our hearts a deeper conception of our own duties to our country today and inspire us to give in peace the type of service the men who died among the poppies in France gave in time of war.” Voluntter workers from the American Legion Auxiliary will offer poppies on the streets all day Saturday. The poppies have been made by disabled veterans and all contributions received will be used for the Auxiliary’s relief and re habilitation work among the dis abled men and their families.
