An ancestor ordinarily is not harmful, But there; seems to be something in the air in this country | that causes a man to go out and bay at the moon! whenever he gets to thinking about the higher branches of his family tree. ’ Of the exploits ot the D.A.R. we shall say nothing. 1 But we read the other day of a new group called “The Minute Men of '86,” formed in New Jersey to defend the Constitution of Roger Williams. She took action, she explained, because ghe re sented ‘the mounting taXes on property inherited from ; Revolutionary ancestors, ! Now the first thing that occurs to one in this connection is that, if there ig any American who still is enjoying the fruits of property amassed by someone more than 150 years ago, it must be high time that the tax collector is having a whack at it; and the second ig that this same Roger Williams wad not a man 1o be over-anxious about his material posseésion, ince he built his distinguished career on the belief that the important things in this life cannot be put in banks or written down 1n doubie ‘entry ledgeds. ; But over and above these two meditations there is ‘that silent wonder which comes on a person when ever he contemplates one of the-more puzzling works of inscrutaible nature: why is it that people who can ‘trace their descent back to the fire-eaters -of -our great colonial period are just the people who want the life of today to run along in an e.tablished groove ‘without change or the threat of change? " What made the colonial era memorable is the fact that Americans at that time were reaching out for something new. Human life had outgrown its shell, in the America of those days; and the one reason any of us like to look back to colonial ancestors is the fact that they were brave and reckless enough to toss everything they had into the scales in an attempt to bring about a better way. of living. . Now- that period is a long way from 1935, and there is no sense in expecting every descendant of a colonia] here to mount his horse at dusk every even ing and go galloping through the town crying “The redcoats are coming!” But it is more than a little odd to find this very ‘pride in such ancestors operating to make a person an impassioned opponent to all chinge. . Maybe the answer is that it just isn’t good for to gpend too much time thinking about our great grandparents. __ Bruno Hauptmann’s lawyers have asked the United States Supreme Couht to set aside their client's conviction; and among the arguments is the asser tion that his trial was nothing less than a “circus.” _ There certainly is no denying that the Hauptmann trial did have enough odd features to make an old fashioned believer in the dignity of the courts moan with dull pain. But if your memory of that occasion fig good, you may recall that the defense itself wa: not entirely blameless. _ After all, there is nothing in ordinary criminal %@nrt procedure which makes it incument on defense Efifttomeys to sonsnlt with the press evesy night, telling what they will do tomorrow, explaining how nd why the state’s case has fallen flat, and an nohnsing in intrilite detail how they are going' to 'g&t their client acquitted. ",f‘j‘rhej flauptmann trial was, in some respects, a %cus indeed; but our recollection is that the pros ecution was not solely at fault. gi&?aneing years do not seem to dull Herbert F oover's keen zest for political-battle. Indeed, it . seems as if the former president had been nnated since he left the White House. Cer ‘tainly his speecheg are taking on a new pungency and zest. _ In his speech before the Ohio Society of New York, for instance, we find him making phrases that Hugh Johnson himself might have fathdred. “Nest oi * nstitutional termites”; “More abundant life with out the bacon”; “The Quick Loans Corporation for i, lophones, Yachts and Zithers”; the “Blue-Beard's s’: of inflation—these phrases give Mr. Hoover’s Speech a bite and a saltiness that are both sur prising and ‘welcome: It is already apparent that Mr. Hoover is going to be asking the administration some embarrassinz questions during the coming campaign. If he asks ;%hem with this kind of zip and pepper, the campaign :;:wfll take on an added liveliness. | - The ontagonism—if that’s the correct word—be tween the bankers and the present national admin- Jistration does not seem to be disappearing very fast. ‘, At the American Bankers Association convention %,in New Orleans, a Salt Lake City banker told the ;flelegates that the bankers ought to boycott govern ;ment bonds to halt excessive New Deal spending. ~_ He had barely had time to catch his breath when “;{csse Jones of the Reconstruction Finance Corpora brfion, warned the delegates that some bankers ar: pitillstones shout the necks of certain railroads, and t the railroadg as a whole cannct recover untii E‘Ey are freed from the weight. - { . All this sounds as if there might be quarters ir '_"hich Mr. Moosevelt's celebrated breathing spell hias not yot been heard of; on the contrary, it hap BRI i e R Tl b S GOING AFTER THE GANGSTERS Federal Director J. Edgar Hoover is go ing after the gangsters in a systematic and determined manner. The G-men of the | government have about completed their | work of clearing this country of the gang ster element. “Dutch” Schultz was one of the most successful operators in the under world. During the last six weeks of his racketeering career, he collectegi $827,- [253. He was shot down and killed last month in Newark, N. J. His real name |was Arthur Flegenheimer, ‘ In commenting on the activities of l“Dutch” Schultz, Director Hoover, said: | “That means $1,000,000 every two months ;being paid to just onme racketeer. From 'that you can get some idea of the effect !of racketeering on the country: It’s a ter ‘rible barnacle on the community. ~ “And don’t forget that all this money ‘was collected when “Dutch” Schultz was supposed to be laying low, taking things easy, because of federal prosecution, His profits may have been much higher while he was in the clear”. Of course, the repeal of the Eighteenth, Amendment has contributed much to-! wards the breaking down of the under-! world government and eliminates, in] a great measure, the number of racketeers, | but even at that, violations of the law are, being practiced, especially in the larger! cities of the country. ) The underworld has an organization' that is operated under a business system | that would do credit to the largest cor porations in the nation. These people em-f ploy expert accountants and a complete record is kept of all accounts ang opera- | tions of these organizations. In speaking of the systematic manner in which the business of the underworld is conducted, director Hoover, says: “It’s a big business, ' run by big business methods. Scultz’s ac counts were obviously kept by an expert! accountant. The entries were in perfect, order, just like the books of a big corpor- | ation. And Schuljz, who was notorimle; close-fisted, knew where every penny | went—even to buying the morning pa- | pers”. i BRING THEM BACK HOME It is estimated that there are nearly two' thousapd Americang living in foreign countries who are anxious to return to the' states. These people wandered overseas, | located in various countries, met with ill! luck and disaster and now sing themselves , cha;ges on the communities in European | nations. It has been proposed that con gress appropriate a sufficient fund for the expense of returning thege unfortunate | peoplé back to their homes. The cost of | such a movement is estimated at one-hun- | dred thousand dollars, a nominal sum int proportion to other expenditures now be- | ing made in this country, Many of these | people were reduced in circumstances | broyght on from the world depression | ‘period. . Their condition as now exist was | not of their making, but one over which] they had no control, ' - There are thousands of aliens in thisi country who are not contributing to the | aconomic, social or commercial interests or otherwise benefiting conditions. Thousands | of them are employed and filline positions | iwhich should be given to native Ameri-! cans. These people do not pay taxes and | few of them have become naturalized, yeti they are enjoving all the benefits of a' free country for which they contribute: little, if anything. If these people were' deported to their native countries and the! Americans now in foreign countries were returned, there would be ample employ- | ment for everyone of them, i ~ When cengress convenes in Jannary, it/ s hoped that leeiclotion will be enacted! appropriating sufficient money to pay the | axpense of dependent Americans now re-| asiding .in foreign lands. It is also hoped: that legislation will be enacted making it ! sbligatory on the part of the officers and! conurts for the denortation of all aliens nowl in this country. Of course, there are thons-| lands of foreigners in this country who| save become thrifty and deserving, taking 'm:t their naturalization papers and becom- | ‘ine American citizens. That class should | I!,p protected and allowed to remain in| l-‘,his country permanent. It is only the idle’ iand worthless class that should be attend-: lod to and returned to their native coun tries. ' I The time is nearing for the 1936 ses 'eion of congress; the return of Americans from foreign countries and the deportation of .alien citizens should be the first acts of the new congress, WOMEN JURORS VS. WOMEN In the states where women are eligible for jury service, it has been demonstrated ana proved that women are harder or their own sex than are the men. A recen! case in Cleveland, Ohio, where two young men and a young woman held up a store keeper, shot and killed him; the young men were tried by a jury composed of men who rendered a verdict of guilt for murder. The men were sentenced to the electric chair. In the trial of the young woman, the jury was made up of seven men and five women; the verdict render ed called for punishment of manslaughter, and a life sentence was imposed by the court. In commenting on the verdict,, one of the women jurors stated that the five women stood for a verdict of murder and a death sentence while the male jurors tood for a verdict of manslaughter. { Thus it will be seen that women are not controlled through emotion or appeals of their own sex, but that the men are in clined to show merey to those of the fem-i inine gender, especially, if the ,defendantt is attractive in face and form.
