The newspapers of this country are in no danger of suppression as were many newspapers in Germany, but conditions could arise whereby they would be subject to i such danger and when that time arrived they might not be able | to avert the cataclysm. t The story as told by Mr. Hollering begins with Hitler as a a common agitator and regarded by most responsible Germans 4 as a cheap mountebank, unworthy of notice.

Supreme Court's Drudgery . . - There Was the Soused Lawyer ...| And the One Who Was Too Deaf to Know He Had Won Case .. .! Barkley Must Do a Decided About- Face as Democratic Keynoter. By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, May 13.—The U.S. Su- preme Court doesn’t have much fun while doing its work, one of the nine justices explained at a recent party, so that any time something funny happens in the courtroom most of its members enjoy it fully, even if they don’t go laughing out loud. “A few years ago,” this justice rem- inisced “we had a country lawyer be- fore us arguing a case and we began to notice that something was wrong. “He was beginning powerful sen- tences in a loud voice, but failing to finish them. He kept right on trying, however. “What had happened was that he had sat through the early session and by lunch time felt so awed by the surroundings in which he was to appear that he had gone out and filled himself with bootleg liquor. “The chief justice turned to us with eyebrows raised, torn between a de- sire to burst out laughing and to have the man kicked out of the courtroom. It was obvious that something had to be done about it. But we hestitated. “Then the lawyer suddenly solved the problem himself. He stopped, in the middle of a sen- tence, bowed toward the bench, turned on his heel, and walked straight out of the courtroom.” “And lost the case?” a listener sug- gested. “Oh, no, he won,” the justice re- plied. “He had @ good case and his Opponent didn’t We can't decide points on the basis of counsel's de- livery.” * * * But some of the publishers of great newspapers listened to Hitler’s siren song. They thought that his program might free i them from labor troubles and other aggravating circumstances ' and so they gave him the aid of friendly silence. They instructed | their editors to pay no attention to unpleasant facts in the situ- | ation which was developing and even evolved the slogan of “a ! country was largely partisan, though the greatest journals i aloofness from the national travail. The effect, Hollering said, i was to keep much of the German public in the dark. Hitler i 4 with his radicals came to power. i The story of what happened to the German press is no eg more tragic than the tale of what has happened to the German ia people and their intellectual development. There is no such i thing as truth for truth’s sake. Every news item has a definite place in the campaign of Nazi propaganda. Editors take their orders from propaganda headquarters and their chief distress is that there are many separate propa- ganda bureaus and orders are sometimes conflicting. Inde- pendence is as dead in journalism as anywhere else in Germany. And the “great publishers” who preferred pleasantries to facts and who were prone to regard Hitler as a cure for their minor ills are no longer publishers. Stripped of their places and fortunes they amount to nothing in the nation. The Eher Verlag, Nazi publishing house owned by Hitler, Goering and Goebbels, owns nearly all the once valuable news- paper properties in the nation. They picked them up for a song by the simple process of suppressing them until the owners agreed to sell. It was as simple as that. The situation presents an object lesson to this nation and every other nation which places its trust in an enlightened + public opinion. It points the effects of demagoguery as few 4 things could; calls again to the attention of American editors 4 the duty placed upon them by the constitution when it guaran- teed the freedom of the press in this country. Symbol of Leve The life insurance men of America are celebrating Life Insurance Week just now and the event deserves some atten- tion for life insurance often serves as a medium for translating into practical achievement the love and affection which men feel for their wives and families. Paying for life insurance is no easier than paying for any- thing else of value. It is a struggle, in many families, to meet the premiums on father’s policy. But the more provident a man is the more likely he is to keep up his insurance through thick or thin. Many a husband and father enjoys the reputation of being a good provider during his lifetime but his memory is some- what tarnished by failure to anticipate the’emergencies which arise when he no longer can take the role of breadwinner. Life insurance is more than one of the nation’s greatest businesses. That is merely an outgrowth of the fundamental fact that it renders a service which can be duplicated by no other agency. Originally it protected only against the hardships follow- ing death, but it has been expanded until it now protects the individual against almost every contingency of life. It has be- come an integral part of the American scene. Nearly every- one understands its purpose and its uses. And nearly everyone appreciates the fact that a life insur- ance policy is one of the most substantial symbols of love which can be presented by a breadwinner to his dependents. Significant Word “Paroled Convict Held for Statutory Charge” says a Trib- une headline and under it is a story of brutality as appalling as the most morbid would want to read. It tells of a crime which revolts every decent man and woman. And the key fact in the whole story is that the man had previously been sent to prison for a similar offense and had been released. The pardon board which granted his parole quite probably thought that he had reformed. Undoubtedly he told them that he had, else they would not have shown him clemency. : ‘This case COULD be cited as proof that the parole system is ioe, oa (0e bey. weal 2b tole It has its place in DOES serve to emphasize the terrific responsibility p upon public officials having the parole power. not to take a sick! peietisetel view of tho geeb- the BAD fesults whieh can follow parole as to the Too Deaf to Know “He Won” Ever so often, he went on, a lawyer who turns out to be deaf comes before the court.

Then he tried to break in on the orator by saying the court didn't care to hear further argument. The lawyer didn’t hear him and went right on gesturing and arguing. Hughes raised his voice and about the third time the at- torney began to realize he was being addressed. He turned helplessly, as if hoping someone would tell him what Hughes opposing counsel, apparently sore, rose and exclaimed in his rival's ear, in a voice that was heard through the courtroom: “He says they’d rather give you the case than to have to listen to you any more!” * * * How Different From 1932! Senator Alben W. Barkley of Ken- tucky will be the Democratic keynoter again at the Philadelphia convention and your correspondent, with no speciat claim to the gift of second sight, predicts that the senator will not repeat the same mighty speech with which he rang up the curtain in Chicago in 1932. It will be Barkley’s job to defend rather than attack the administra- tion this time, but he will undoubt- edly dwell upon the previous years of Republican “misrule.” You can bet practically anything up to grand- ma’s best teeth that he will not re- peat such gems from his 1932 effort as the following: “Mr. Coolidge officially recommend- ed, allowed, and approved increases in the expenses of the national gov- ernment of more than 650 million dollars... “The farmers were told (by the Hoover administration) that they should plow under one-third of their crops. . . . This profound solution of the great agricultural enigma—— .. . ” and so on, to the chorus of ha-ha-ha’s. “What shall the Democratic party do when they come into power on the fourth day of next March? Shall we pay lip service to economy, or shall we abolish every unnecessary office, every useless commission, every redundant bureau that has been es- tablished under the expensive regime of Harding and Coolidge and Hoo- ver?” All this isn’t meant to suggest that the keynotes by Senators Barkley and Steiwer this year won't be splendid oretorical efforts if you want to listen in.

It helps in the performance of muscular work.” Some of the saddest cases of inebriety, chronic alcoholism, have their in the tse of some alcoholic liquor or beverage to promote sleep.

It is bad physiology to imagine that one is likely to suffer any ill effect if natural sleep does not come at the usual time—if one remains awake or half-conscious far into the night.
