Who on earth could live where all judged justly?—Byron. en Future of the Race Man, watching the stars in their courses or observing phenomena about him, is quite like- ly to have strange dreams and wonderings, It is this capacity of the mind which gives sur- cease from more pressing problems and lifts humanity above the level of other animals. But just in case anyone has occasion to wonder, during a springtime daydream, about the future as well as the past of the race, it may be just as well to say here and now that this has all been figured out by a New York -surgeon. After studying what happened to other or- ganisms which became overdeveloped in some particulars, he has arrived at the conclusion that mankind is overworking his brain and his thyroid gland. The result is to create diseases of the nervous and circulatory systems which, in time, will weigh down the race and drive it to extinction. As illustrations of what diaaetnii in such circumstances he points to the dinosaurs, which died because of their very. gigantism and the Irish Elk whose weighty horns bore him down to extinction. He contends that overdevelopment of our mental faculties, ac- companied by a weakening of muscles, teeth and digestive organs may, in the remote fu- ture, take such heavy toll that another race of beings may sometime wonder what manner of folk we were. It is all most disconcerting, especially in view of the fact that most of us have an “on- ward and upward” sentiment with regard to the future. But, the brain having a strong protective instinct, the gentleman who advances the theory of progressive debilitation, has a rem- edy. It is to “section” certain-nerves which control the glands and thus slow up the action of certain organisms, reduce the Pressure on the human machine. It is all very interesting and somewhat dis- concerting but most people will refuse to get alarmed. After all, the danger of being run over by an automobile is a good deal more im- minent and maybe the brain will be able to think of some other method of averting this disaster. It might even, for example, find a way of making life so much more pleasant and easier for everyone that the man who lived to be 100 would be the rule rather than the exception. In fact, if statistics can be trusted, it seems to have been doing just that for sometime past. Out for Business One of the most encouraging signs of a renaissance in American railroad passenger travel is the current ef- fort which the western lines are making to develop busi- ness. ‘ To begin with, they have invested $19,000,000 in air- conditioned trains and, what is more important, they are improving that portion of their equipment intended for use by the common man. , It has long been possible to travel in comfort on pullman cars at extra fare but day coaches were some- » thing else again. Frequently they were none too clean. ‘They were nothing to bosst of in the way of comfort and all too often they possessed a smell which could ‘be compared with nothing except another railroad day coach. Under such circumstances it was no wonder "they lost business. ax Now, as is evidenced by the Northern Pacific's new ~ trains and those of other lines, one need not belong to the upper crust to get pleasant and adequate service, : All of this and the other advantages of rail travel is being explained through advertisements in the na- tion’s newspapers. Now that they really have a story to tell the railroads have joined together to see that the People become acquainted with it. Incidentally, this joining of the western railroads in ® common effort may point the way to the solution of other railroad problems. It may be the answer to the demand for unification of various lines as made by the government and shippers seeking lower costs. From the time thst a grest railroad magnate first ‘voleed the “public be damned” policy until recently the Failroeds seemed content to rest on their oars, take full advantage of the fancied security of their position and 40 nothing to improve it. But now that they realize they must fight for business they are beginning to show some knowledge of what the public wants. They are beginning to justify that blurb of # railroad publicity man who contends that the rails offer a “wide-awake” form of transportation. wee (sige akan says he can’t tell women from midwestern college campus.

Some NRA top-rankers are so convinced of Roose- velt’s indifference that they now wonder only whether the organization will meet a quick death June 16 or be allowed to expire miserably and by inches during the 10-month liquidation period for which it has been pro- longed by senate vote, The president's desire for a two-year extension of NIRA with certain changes has been expressed as little more than a pious hope. Suspicion that he didn’t much care began to grow when he permitted senate leaders to leave a White House conference and report out the Clark resolution continuing NRA until April under such con- ditions as to insure its demise, ar) Hope blossomed among the NRA faithful, partly reinforced by words from Roosevelt, that the measure would be improved on the senate floor and that NRA would save the show. But senate Democrats in conference voted heavily for the Clark resolution when Majority Leader Joe Ro- binson said he was sure F. D. would accept it and, since the week-end “fishing” conference between Roosevelt and congressional leaders, Senator Pat Harrison—in charge of NRA legislation—has been saying privately that anything the house did would have no effect on the senate. And he said this publicly after the vote. It is so difficult to believe that Robinson and Harirson—despite their anti-New Deal tenden- cies—would deliberately defy the president, that this situation has brought those who still be- lieve in NRA’s possibilities to despair. For weeks NRA’s salvation has depended on a fight- ing attitude at the White House. But Roosevelt has shown no signs of fight and brought no real pressure on the senate. That’s why it is now so generally be- leved he’s different. ¥ oe NRA officials whose present jobs are not vitally im- portant to them would rather see NRA die promptly than go through the miseries of a long liquidation. Insiders commonly agree that it would be political folly for Roosevelt to permit the great experiment to expire ignobly some six months before the presidential election, as Republicans and other New Deal enemies would use the spectacle for a Roman holiday. Some men who came here in the early days under General Johnson when they thought of NRA as a great and holy crusade are clinging desperately to waning hopes. They have worked man-killing hours, suffered oc- casional nervous breakdowns, fought bitterly and ex- perienced innumerable reverses and disillusionments, in the belief that they were creating a new order and a more workable economic system. Members of the able National Recovery Board, who have tried to bring order from the chaos in which Gen- eral Johnson left NRA, express varying reactions, “It just doesn't make sense,” says one. “We have been used as a@ political football,” says another. “Roosevelt has fallen for a big business crowd which wants to start wiping out small competitors and cutting wages as soon as NRA is through,” says still another. “I have no confidence and very little hope,” adds a fourth. “With NRA out, all that will be left will be Harry Hopkins and Henry Wallace giving money away.” And: “There's my hat. I’m ready to grab that and my personal mail and start moving without the bother of @ resignation.” This dispatch probably is a swan song for the Blue Eagle. If NRA passes out, the United States will again in, be the only large industrial nation without some form of industrial control. (Copyright, 1935, NEA Service, Inc.) With Other DITORS Mr. Sinclair as a Prophet (Minneapolis Tribune) Since Upton Sinclair has predicted that national bankruptcy and possible dictatorship will be the price that America will pay for the New Deal, it may be inter- esting to revert to the most definite, unequivocal and shudderiest prognostication that gentleman, to our knowledge, has ever made. In Mr. Sinclair's: “Industrial Republic,” published in 1907, he gathered the robes of prophecy about him in this fashion: “I write in all seriousness that the revolution will take place in America within one year after the presi- dential election of 1912, and in saying this I claim to speak, not as a dreamer nor as a child, but as a scien- paurinted to show what they say. ‘We may or may agree tist and prophet.” That many intelligent persons share Mr. Sinclair's opinion of the New Deal and its probable consequences we are well aware. There have been innumerable times, as a matter of fact, when they seemed to have the weight of rason and logic firmly on thir side. But since Mr. Sinclair is swishing his prophetic garments again and taking another peek at the crystal, we feel compelled to remark that the situation ts not entirely hopeless. For what it is worth, at any rate, the fact must be noted that the same individual who once staked his reputation as a “scientist and prophet” on the certainty of a revolu- tion in 1913 is now predicting, with no less assurance, that national bankruptcy and possible dictatorship will result from the New Deal. ‘Mr. Sinclair, of course, may be much nearer right today than he was when he arranged the American revolution nearly three decades ago. It does not neces- sarily follow that he will strike out now simply because he took three vigorous whiffs at the atmosphere on that lamentable occasion, Still, there is no reason for the New Deal to be disheartened by Mr. Sinclair's emergence as the prophet of its doom. On the contrary it may take definite hope, what with the Sinclair revolution already 22 years behind schedule, that he has helped to guaran- tee to the New Deal a brilliant and unqualified success, Two Pittsburgh policemen admit they helped two other men loot a shoe store a year ago.

Living From Hand to Mouth OLITICS = at the = NATION'S CAPITOL By HERBERT PLUMMER Washington — West Virginia’s baby senator-elect, Rush D. Holt, has set down the date June 19 as the most, memorable in his career, but it easily might prove to be anything but that for the 29-year-old fellow. June 19 is his birthday and the day on which he will have attained his senatorial majority of 30. Theo- retically, at noon on that Wednes- day he will be entitled to take the arm of his colleague, Senator Neely, march down the dividing political aisle of the senate chamber to the vice president's dais and be sworn It may turn out, however, that Holt will be denied the right to muke that short journey on his birthday. It all depends on what certain sena- tors now engaged in studying his status decide. ‘The whole question hinges’ on whether a man can be elected to the senate when he is not qualified to serve, x * * Gallatin Case Cited The constitution lays down three qualifications which a person must. have to enter the United States sen- ate. He must have attained the age of 30, been a citizen of the United States for nine years and an inhab- itant of the state for which he is chosen. Some authorities contend that, Holt is lacking in one of these qual- ifications; that he was elected to an office which at the time he was un- qualified to fill. The point is made that if Holt is seated there is nothing to prevent a person of 26, 27 or 28 years old being elected to the senate in the future. Since such a person can’t take his seat until he reaches 30 the effect is to deprive a state of its rightful representation in the senate. ~ Those senators who take this view cite as a precedent the case of Al- bert Gallatin, elected to the senate from Pennsylvana in the early days of the republic. Gallatin lacked a year of the required nine years of American citizenship. He was permitted to take his seat, but a year later, despite the fact he had by that time satisfied the consti- tutional requirements, he was ousted from the senate on the ground that he was not duly qualified at the time of his election. * oe * Another Complication ‘The case is further complicated by the law of West Virginia which re- quires that every candidate for the senate file with the secretary of state Je 30 days before the primary election @ statement that he is eligible to hold Office, Holt filed such a statement when, strictly speaking, it is contend- ed he was not qualified. The situation is certain to be gone into thoroughly by the senate. For- mer Senator Hatfield, ‘whom Holt defeated, has filed an election con- test with the senate on this very point. The committee on privileges and elections must investigate and make a recommendation to the sen- ate. There's no particular reason why the seating of Holt should be a party issue. Hatfield, a Republican, wouldn’t get the seat were the sen- ate to uphold his contest. West Vir- ginia’s governor is a Democrat and were the Holt seat declared yacant he would appoint another Democrat.
