CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER FUBLICATION PUNISHMENT SHOULD FIT THE CRIME. After almost 30 months of unrelenting search in which literally hundreds of the best trained minds in the criminal investigation departments of Federal, State, County and Municipal governments have been engaged, the Department of Justice announces the arrest of a suspect under circumstances that seem to be convincing he is either the Lindbergh kidnaper or was closely connected with the crime. Richard Hauptmann, held in New York City, has & lot of explaining to do if he isn't the criminal or wasn’t associated with him. Attorney General Cummings makes the postiive statement that “Hauptmann is known to have passed some of the ransom money and to have had a substantial amount of it in his home at the time of his arrest.” Other dispatches definitely placed at $13,750 the portion of the money paid the kid- napers which was found in Hauptmann's property when he was taken into custody. While it doesn't necessarily follow that he is the guilty person, it does raise a presumption of guilt until a satisfactory explanation is made by him. If he’is not the one who collected the blood money, where did he get it, and when was it paid to him? Until he can prove it came into his possession innocently, and that doesn't seem likely when it is considered he retained possession of the money rather than depositing it in the ordinary way, he must be regarded as a party to the crime which shocked the world, and started this country on its relentless campaign to eradicate the kidnaper from its borders. If he is the guilty person, or was a party to it, the most drastic punishment is called for. Not only is kidnaping involved, but murder. Baby Lindbergh was killed, probably accidentally, but his deAth re- sulted from a criminal act and those responsible for it should be punished for homicide. FOREWARNED MAY BE FOREARMED. An ancient swindling lure, rivaling the “Spanish prisoner” bait which has been worked successfully in virtually every country in the world for many years, is to offer to “switch” holdings of good listed securities into near-rubbish gilded by glittering predictions and promises . The - more widespread the warning against this, especially when made directly and officially to those who may be ap- proached, the fewer gullible victims there may be. Such a caution is issued to its stockholders by Pacific Gas and Electric Company in submitting its semi-annual earnings. President Hockenbeamer notes that several stockholders had written in within a few days of such offers, one of them terming “near Junk” the “securities” offered, and adding that he had thus lost many thousands, yet was expected to bite as of old. Possibly he was on the “sucker Usts” which are kept standing and are often swapped or sold. 8o Pacific Gas and Electric Company deems it its duty to caution its stockholders to be sure with whom they are dealing and to obtain full informa- tion regarding the ‘“securities” offered. Any bank would doubtless be glad to help in the latter respect. This may sound elementary, but it seems to be needed. Not only does it apply to stockholders of Pacific Gas but the advice is sound for all hold- ers of valid securities here and elsewhere. Grautui- tious offers to “swap” should be viewed with sus- picion until proved they are made in good faith and not because the offer springs from a con- spiracy to “trim the suckers.” ETTL MENTS WANTED. The Seattle Times in a recent editorial joined with Alaskans in protesting against the proposal of California Legionnaires to have the Federal Gov- ernment establish penal setttlements in Alaska. The Empire was the first to voice opposition to the plan as being wholly unAmerican in principle and alto- gether uncalled for. The Times, noting the sentiment against the project here, said: War veterans resident in Alaska vigor- ously denounce the proposal to establish criminal detension camps in the Territory. A resolution to that effect, which they adopted at a meeting in Anchorage last week, will be as vigorously supported by Seattle, as it should be wherever any sense of justice prevails. The proposal to make Aleska something of a penal colony bobbed up at the recent and stormy Caliofrnia American Legion Convention, where there was so much else to quarrel about that delegates couldn’t have known all that was going on. Alaska is more free from crime than any State in the Union. The idea of sending criminals there for punishment or detention is wholly offensive. Mississippi feel better about Huey Long by sending former Gov. Theodore Bilbo to the United States Senate He and the Kingfish ought to be two of a kind even if not a winning hand. If Mr. Hoover has been sitting up nights to hear| the applause from over the country for his Sateve Post articles he certainly must have gone to bed] disappointed on many occasions. The old song “I Didn't Raise My Boy to Be a | Soldier” is changed now by Il Duce to “You'll Raise| Your Boy Just to Be a Soldier.” The Richberg Report. (New York World-Telegram.) The Richberg report shows that the New I'eal has made long and rapid strides toward recovery. It also shows that far more progress has yet to be achieved. The Administration can take heart in the return of more than 4,000,000 idle to regular payrolls since March, 1933. But, with approximately 10,000,000 still unemployed, the Administration can hardly afford to indulge itself the leisure of pointing with pride to what has been done. Among the accomplshments are the 27.5 per cent increase in the total of industrial wages, the 25 per cent net increase in the purchasing power of all industrial workers, the 26 per cent increase in aver- age hourly earnings and the reduction of the average work week by approximately six hours. But it is a matter of grave concern that the average factory worker's weekly wage has increased | only 85 per cent, whil his cost of living has risen 96 per cent. This seems to indicate that Lhé’! worker is bearing more“than his share of the sharc- | the-work burden. In sharp contrast are the standard statistics figures, used by Mr. Richberg, showing that the net profits of 506 companies of all types were 200 per cent higher in the first half of 1934 than in the | first half of 1933, and that the net profits of 402 industial companies were 600 per cent higher. As evidence of the economic lift, Mr. Richberg cites:—The factory production index rose from a low of 474 in March, 1933, to a high of 85.1 in July, 1933, dipped to 59.4 in November and rose |again to 721 in May, 1934. Other indices contrast March, 1933, with June, 1934, as follows:—Employ- ment, 562 and 77.4; payrolls, 339 and 50.5; whole- sale prices, 60.2 and 74.6. These are unmistakable signs of an upward trend. But they need to be brought up to date with a chart of the recession since May. Mr. Richberg will report soon on agriculture, relief, finances, Government services and foreign trade. When he has completed his survey we should be in a better position to answer the question:— “Where do we go from here?” A school for physical instructors reports the Amerjcan woman is becoming larger.
