. BRUCE CATTON’'S COMMENT
{ |
e ———— e
Among the minor interesting news items of the
day is the report that the tomb of Atilla, famous
many centuries ago as the “scourge of God,” has
been found in a river bed in Czechoslovakia,
. Whether the report is correct or not, the story
‘at least performs the useful function of setting one
thinking about the contrasting ways in which civi
lized society can be threatened with destruction.
. In Atilla’s day, when the Huns came rolling up
out of the eastern darkness, the erumbling society
of the time lived In fear of invasion by barbarians.
‘A’Wa.ve after wave of savage destroyers came in over |
@,_be eastern borders. each one more destructive than
the ione before. Attila was the last and worst. The
whole framework of civilization seemed to be col
lapsing before him. It took society many centuries
i@ pick up the pieces. I
. 'Wl)‘en the Historian Gibbor wroet his ‘“Decline |
~ and Fall,” he remarked that society no longer faced
~ that kind of danger. The framework, he said, could
_ never crumble again, There were no more barbaric
_ hosts to menace the frontiers.
,{,A?‘d:;‘a few years after he had written that came
i &he,fiench revolution, just to prove that soclety‘
. gpgufi be threatened with destruction even when itsi
i fi‘orl?tfigrs were completely peaceful. Destruction
that{ time came from the bottom instead of froml
_ the eutside, and it left reverberations quite as pro-
I«‘j*gulg,&s those that Attila’s host put in motion.
Tdday we have no barbaric hordes on the bor—‘
figrgq;wd——dn spite of the shivers of the timid——-we]
~are mot in any real danger of an uprising from be-
Laflwk:gle threat that our society faces is entirely‘
;:?mwid becaues it is so new it is all the more{
_ ipsidio®@is. It comes from the top.
. e iy
gsw;(),fi%langer, that is to say, is not that we shall
. be. helmed by external enemies or turned over
by thq‘dowmrodden masses. It is that our order
‘thhings may collapse of its own weight because
530 men at the top have set up an establishment
;~ hat they can't quite master.
. What is going on at Washington now is simply
~an attempt to rearrange things so as to make intelli
. gent direction of our soclety more easy. It may
?;;,:%qk*ggdical at first glance, but it dis essentially
~ deeply conservative. We have neither an Attila
ig}mfiifigbespierre to fear; if trouble comes, it will
ke entirely our own fault.
~ "The little red schoolhouse has been one of the
é;,v‘gfitl<~ajgnificant of all American landmarks for
; org,than a century. It is part of the background
¥ gx}}mons of Americans; it has been the starting
g@t_fb‘r many of the nation’s most successful men;
~ and it lives today In a halo of sentiment, a thing
~as indisputably and typically American as corn on
. But Owen D. Young was quite right in his recent
wnng to the National Education Assoclation that
W must bend every effort to getting the little red
“ schoolhouse off of the scene, -
' The rural villages of the red schoolhouse's hey-
Y, n,Mr Young points out, were self-contained and
- self-supporting. They were islands, remote and iso
_ lated. «The cultural life of the nation was centered
1 the cities; to the cities, consequently, went the
ri o}u./unq energetic young men as soon as the
- red schoolhouse had got through with them.
w\!‘o?{q the wind of change is blowing over the
fi ew economic conditions foreshadow a de
~ centralization of industry, of population and of cul
. ture.. The small town is due for a rebirth. The old
xfi;jfi brs that isolated it have vanished forever.
. Bu}, says Mr. Young, “we will not get this change
.in ceuntry life without good schools. People will
Not move there or evne stay thece if the educational
" facilities for their children are inadequate. The
~ #chools are the key which will unlock the country
_ for modern living.”
ffj“‘f’” ~of this is perfectly true; and no one who has
. trayeled through rural districts in recent years can
. fail to realize that a tremendous start has already
i"%,m in the right direction. The fine new
?;‘1 is more and more becoming the cultural
. and architéctural center about which the life of the
*‘;‘?ii is built. Many and many a town has
- spent more money than it could really afford to
~ give its children the best schoolhouse possible.
Ly : e
. That 1s a healthy trend. Our democracy must
‘f* fall by its educational system, and the de
*‘«a *a:!‘? ‘which it will make on its schools in the im
. mediate future will be greater than ever before.
M little req schoolhouse, enormously useful as
hi@ ‘been, has outlived its day. The American
| seene will lose one of its dearest landmarks—but it
. Will get something better to take its place,

~ @ubstantial in the way of security.
i’r, emphasizes the helplessness of a com-
RAy ‘. as does kidnaping. There will always be
. human passions that will result in murder, there
i 5 % be desperate men who commit robbery,
* there will always be weak men who commit forgery
~ and defalcation, there will always be gamblers and
- parpders and confidence men. The most soclety can
. hope to do is keep such crimes at a minimum.
d_mij‘ Jut kidnaping is different. It cannot be an organ
i:’; 'i_i'fn_el'get unless the society in which it thrives
. hag& demonstrated its utter inability to protect the
\ liy#s and persons of its citizens. Its appearance is
@’Z hd gravest symptom that the machinery of law en
gfi pement can display,
fifl%’ f‘ ay we have just about reached a point at which
";' discuss some extremely revolutionary re
fi& on of our whole system of law enforcement.
' _Police methods could not be more disorganized
th ey are now. From New York down to the
~ mmallest hamlet, each police force is entirely inde
" pendent. There are 48 states, each with a separate
ju _," on. The powers of the federal government
. 20, co-Ordinate and direct the war on erime are very
" limited. The cards 3re stacked in favor of the
. yapkéteer. He could not ask for a better set-up.
| “¥he editor of the Daily Post-Tribune of La Salle,
. DE, recently suggested to President Roosevelt that!
%*’ ;nges be made in' the law so that federal agents
© eolild take a hand in all kidnaping cases, and not
m “in those where the victim is transported over
2’:: ate line. This is an excellent proposal, but itT
sgfi v be that we need to go even farther than that.
t g Lo |
'i ~may be that we need to follow Attorney General
" Chemings in his scheme for a nation-wide federal
“L’ ljce force. It may be that we need to surrender |
" old fondness for local independence and make
B ry cop in the land part of a great, centralized
Weanization, just as we have already put our na
“tional guard under federal authority- .- . 1
It is perfectly obvious that we have got to db

AN AMENDMENT SUGGESTED
Now that the National Recovery Act has
become effective, setting up a code on
iwhich it appears that practically all of
the industrial interests have agreed, it has
been suggested by the Baltimore Sun, that
a code for the Association of Households
be drawn and submitted to that associa
tion for its ratification or rejection. Itiis
requested that domestic establishments be
recognized by the government in the same
manner as the industrial and commercial
establishments. We can see no reason why
the children of a household should not be
entitled to have an official code under
which they can organize and live up to a
system calculated to better their condition
and, at the same time, afford them protec
tion.
' Commenting on and advocating a code
for the Association of Households, the
Baltimore Sun, views the justice of such
action on the part of the government in
the following suggestions:
“1. In conformity with the provisions of
Section 7a of the National Recovery Act,
the attitude of the Association of House
holds with respect to children shall be as
follows: |
‘“(a) That children shall have the right
to organize and bargain collectively and
shrall be free from interference, restraint
or coercion in doing pretty much as they
see fit. :
“(b) The maximum number of sleeping
hours shall be ten a day, or seventy a week
and no child shall be forced to retire be
fore 9 p. m.
“(c) The minimum allowance shall be
256 cents a week for children between the
ages of 10 and 14 years and 10 cents a
week for those between the ages of 6 and
10 years. -Parents will provide ice cream
cones in addition, but expensive mechani
cal toys will be purchased out of birthday
money. L
2. Unfair competition,
“(a) It shall be unfair competition for
any neighbor to build a rock garden, paint
the house, turn in the old car and buy new
furniture in any one year. Not more than
one of the improvements shall be selected
at a time, .
“(b) The publishing or broadcasting of
the amount paid weekly to the cook, or the
furnace man, or the gardener, if the
amount is above the average, shall be clas
sified as unfair competition and discour
aged.
“(c) Kill-off dinners shall consist of
three courses. If iced melon precedes, then
salad must be eliminated and, or, vice
versa, |
“3. Administration of the code. ‘
“The ladies of the community will
meet periodically to discuss the code and‘
infractions thereof. Violators will be pun-f
ished by having their names removed from
the waiting lists of the book club, the
garden club, the Wednesday Bridge Club.
and by not being asked to serve on local
committees.”
The foregoing proposed code, as sug
gested by the Sun, offers many benefits to
be derived from the organization of As
sociation of Households. If a domestic
code is created by the government, it will,
no doubt, meet with the approval of the
children of this country, all of whom are
to become the future citizenry of this na
tion, and are entitled ta the benefits there
from. :
NEWSPAPERS PREFERRED
For advertising mediums producing the
best results national advertisers, almost as
a unit, prefer the newspapers. Other
forms of advertising have not measured up
to the standard of the newspapers, conse
quently, the large advertisers of the coun
try patronizes the columns of the newspa
pers for presenting their products.
In a recent report issued by the Bureau
of Advertising, American Newspaper Pub
lishers Association, it is shown that the
newspapers received 59 per cent of the ag
gregate appropriations of 422 national ad
vertisers. In an itemized statement of the
prorata of advertising from the various
groups of manufacturers distributed among
the various forms of advertising agencies,
the following will be of interest:
“Automobile and trucks—B2.4,
“Gasoline and Motor 0i15—74.2, |
“Druggists’ Sundries—6s.2. |
“Financial—6B.3. |
“Soft Drinks—63.B. |
“Railroads—92.7.
“Steamships—B3.B. |
“Clothing and Shoes—B7.
“Sixty-two national food manufacturers
spent 46 per cent of their advertising ap
propriations with newspapers, 34.7 per.
cent with magazines and 19.3 per cent with
radio. ‘
“Nine tobacco companies spent 72.3 per
cent of their advertising appropriations
with newspapers, 11.2 per cent with mag
azines, and 16.5 per cent with radio.”
From the foregoing it will be seen that
the popular mode of advertising is through
the newspapers. The fact that the nation
al advertisers of the country prefer news
paper advertising to other forms of adver
tising is a safe criterion on which to judge
the value of advertising. If this class of
advertisers are willing to spend this large
amount of money for newspaper advertis
ing, certainly there must be unusual merit
and its drawing powers and in producing
profitable results,

An interesting trial for vio
lation of the “bone dry law”
was held at Cairo, Georgia, a
few days ago. it was one
brought as a test case of the
sale of 3.2.
The solicitor of the court ar
gued for conviction yvhile the at
torney for the defendant argued
for dismissal on the ground that it
would not be sound and wise to
make a criminal of one who is the
victim of “one of the fool acts of
the Georgia Legislature is guilty
of committing ocecasionally,” The
case then went to the jury and it
was promptly reported to the
court that the jury had failed to
agree and a mistrial was declared.
The Cairo Messenger in reporting
the trial had the following to say:
“The jury retired shortly before
noon and the mistrial was de
elared in the 'late afternoon. The
case probably will come up for
trial again at the October term,
although much of the evidence
(the'! 53 bottles of beer) was con
sumed by the jurors in making
the tests they saw fit to make.”
With Alabama and Arkan
sas voting for the repeal of
~ the, Eighteenth ~ amendment,
~ there is no doubt about the
results in Tennessee today,
with Texas to follow next
. month.
With the southern states falling
in line with the Democratic party
platform, it is not believed that
any of the states in the east and
west will fail to ratify the repeal
of the prohibition law. The over
whelming majority given the re
peal advocates in Alabama and
Arkansas insures the repeal of
the Eighteenth amendment before
the end of the year. While this
amendment will be repealed be
fore Georgia will have an oppor
tunity to pass on the question,
next yvear the issue of repea! of the
“bone dry” law, in this state,
should be injected into the races
for legislators and the issue for
or against the repeal of the Geor
gia law should be clearly stated
and the candidates required to
define their position for or against
the repeal. :
