.~ WHAT! NO REVOLUTION!
& .. = | By BRUCE CATTON
..| Althetgh it has become the fashion t§ speak of
. ithe regovery program as a kind. of revolution, no
i wg looks, into the matter closely can fail to see
*tiut basicaily it really is a conservative proposition.
fif The fruth of this statement can be tested by look-
B (ing at the very obstacles which are slowing up the
E progress of recovery, ‘ ;
. . FPirstramong thesp obstacles, no doubt, ig the fact
the owner of capital still is a bit skittish about
| putting.his money to work. His fear of inflation
. would seem to have beeh quieted by the forthright
¢ smanner in which the gold question is béing han
| .dled; but he still is afraid that he will not be able
y‘fi make 2 profit on the employment of his money,
. and so"he is hanging back.
.. ln the past, depressions ended when the chance
%o,};maka“ money began to reappear in commerce and
§ industry. We are trying te end this one in the re
wrst order—by putting re-employment and in
| i¢reased wages first and trusting that profit will
8 follow 4n the natural sequence.
;fi,-()wners of capital are net yet persuaded fully
. flsm the profit actually will appear on ‘schedule.
} Eifi&?‘“e“!fl““‘v witnessing the vast sums that are
Wfls‘ spent, and considering the heavy taxes that
F‘;V, pill have to be leviea ultimately to meet these ex-
B Dpenses, they are afraid of what may happen #o their

i . Consequently, capital in the main is hesitant, and
| ithe recovery program does not make the speed we
sshould like.
,sngm all this year of capital, and the efforts of gov
;’f‘rpnmnent to provide reassurance, add up to just one
é;;;t.bmg: The fact that the new #eal is, at bottom,
b ‘gonservative and not revolutionary.

RELEASED ON PROBATION
The action of Judge Humphries, of the
Fulton county Superior courts, in releas
ing on probation young Pryo: Bowen,
convicted as an assistant in the kidnaping
lof Jehn K. Ottley, prominent banker of
Atlanta, is to be commended. This 17-year
old boy is not a criminal, but an inexperi
enced country boy, unacquainted with the
ways of the world and of the criminai ele
ment, Influenced by a hardened criminal,
picturing the manner in whieh they could
receive a large sum of money, this young
country boy fell a prey tothe picture drawn
by Delinski, noted member of underworld.
The kidnaping job was carried out, but
when the opportunity was presented for
the escape of the victim, this boy realizing
the crime which he was a party td, aided
in the release and escape of the Atlanta
banker. Pryor Bowen is a member of one
of the oldest and substantial families of
Franklin county, and up to the time of the
kidnaping escapade he lived the life of
a model young man, |
Jullge Humphries has released this boy
on probation, under the charge of his
mother, but requiring monthly reports as
to his conduct and with the further re.
quirement that he attend school until he
has graduated from the High! school oz
that county. The boy has been restored to
his mother, who will see to it that every
requirement of Judge Humphries will be
fulfilled.
AN ARROGANT JUDGE
~ Several months ago the nation was stir
red over the action of Federal Judge
James A. Lowell, in granting an injunction
restraining the Governor of Massachusetts
honoring requisition papers issued by the
Governor of Virginia for the return of an
escaped murderer. The fugitive, a negro,
was charged with the murder of” two
women in Virginia. The action of the Fed
eral court judge was so unusual, members
of congress were so outraged, impeach
ment proceedings were introduced and tre
matter placed before the proper tribunal
This judge will be given a hearing before
a congressional investigating committee,
and it is expected that he will be impeach
ed and removed from office. In the mean
time, the case was carried to the Court of
Appeals of the United States and the low
er court was reversed and the negro will
be returned to Virginia for trial.
A similar case exists in New Jersey
where the governor of that state refused
to recoginze extradition papers issued by
the governor of Georgia for the return of
Burns, an escaped conviet from a Georgia
chaingang. Burns is the author of the
book entitled “a fugitive from a chain
gang” from which the motion picture was
dramatized. Both the book and picture at
tracted wide attention, principally from
the sensational manner in which the book
‘was written and its dramatization for the
picture. Highly colored fiction, willful
misrepresentations, the officials of Georgia
became highly incensed over the circula
tion of the book and the showing of the
picture. However, Mr. Burns is now in a
different frame of mind and mood: he is de
sirous of receiving a pardon, in order that
he may travel about without being in
danger of arrest. It is not believed that
the officials nor the governor of the state
will be agreeable to this man reeciving a
pardon—and why should they? While his
crime was of minor importance, in propor
tion to the amount of money he received
from his hold-up, yet his intentions were
gerious, and the small amount of money
he secured from his victim was all he had
in his possession. If he had had thousands
Burns, no doubt, would have been the
beneficiary of the whole amount. His plea
for the pardon, on the grounds of the
small amount of money secured, should
not be in his favor for clemency. He com
mitted a serious erime for which he should
tsuffer the penalty of the iaw. |
GEORGIA FARMERS GET THOUSQNDS
As a result of deficiencies shown by an
alysis of fertilizer samples, the farmers of
this state will receive, through the Depart
ment of Agriculture, thousands of dollars
in refunds. The inspection of over twelve
thousand samples of fertilizer, approxi
mately 5 per cent showed less aveilable
plant food than called requirements of
standard fertilizers. It 4s understood that
the shortage in fertilizer specifications
this yar has been greater than at any time
in recent years. It is possible that the in
crease in deficiency is due to the efficient
system of jnspection that has been employ
ed by the Deparimnt of Agriculture or it
may for other reasons that the standard
has not been kept up. That feature, of
course, is to bé determined by those who
are charged with the responsibility of en
forcing the inspection laws.
It is estimated that the average total of
fertilizer sales in this state amounts to
around $20,000,000, an industry of poten
tial importance. However, it is not believed
that the manufacturers of fertilibers are in
any degree responsibi: for the discrepen
cies shown in the sainples inspected, but
that on account of the large volume of bus
iness, such irregularities are bound to 0.-
cur in some, if. not, all of the plants.

A Little of Everything,
Not Muimnything
| Recent years have brought
’ a new condition in the educa
~ tional institutions of the coun
try where courses in military |
) training are required. '
The case of Ennis H. Coale,-‘vg
’student at the University of Mary
land, has attracied @ .nation )vide
attention by his refusal to takeé the
ll'egular course in military training
\m that institution, While _the,
young man admitted that he knew.
lthat courses in military ',tr'q‘\.,inmf;;
were required, yet he:enbolled. a&mi
student, accepting in good faith
‘the requirements, without objec:
tion. Immediately following his
enrollment, he announced that he
was opposed to milgtary training
and to war and that he believed
it to be “against Christ’s teachings,
and wad therefore wrong”. How-!
jrut 3
ever, he was perfectly familuax;
with the rules of the University |
admitting that he had received a|
catalogue and knew of the follo.w-’
ing provision:
“All male students, if gitizens of)|
the United States, whose bodily!
condition jindicates that they are
physically fi¢ ‘to perform military
duty or will be upon arrival at
military age are required to take
for a period of two. years, as a
prerequisite to graduation, the!
military training offered by the.
War Department.” |
Evidently the real cause for
the young man's refusal was
due in a great measure to the
activities of Mr. Tucker Smith,
secretary of a; Committee on
Militanism and Education, with
offices in New York.
This man advertised in the Bal
timore Sun, saying: “Any student:
who intend to attend the Univer
sity of Maryland who wisk to be
exempted from military training
to write to this office, and they
would give them the best proce
dure to use.” This the young man
did, and, no doubt, the advice and
information he received from this
source prompted him to take court
action. In the lower court, the
contentions of the young man
were upheld, but in the Court of
Appeals of Maryland, the decision
of the inferior coury was reversed.
In rendering' a decision, the Court
of Appeals recites many decisions
of similar cases, bringing out the
purpose and intent of the young
man, no doubt, being a tool of
pacifists and those who are op
posed to war under any and all
conditions, and who are willing te
accept peace at any price.
In delivering the opinion of |
the court, Judge Pattison gave
&« most thorough review of the
case, which will, no doubt, set
at rest future efforts on tne
part of pacifists to interrupt
the rules and organization of
educational institutions,
In his review of the case, the
|closing paragraphs of the opinion
of the coury will be of interest, es
'peclally to those interested in ed-!
ucationai affairs: “Coale's selec
)tion of the University of Maryland

its curriculum, when there were

consistent with the want of sin
