Seventy years ago, under the dictator Lopez, “El Supremo,” she fought | single-handed for five years against Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. When peace came in 1870 there was no males left in the country between the ages of 14 and 70. EIl Supremo’s last battles were fought largely by armies composed of women and children. Conditions today in Paraguay must be reminiscent. The dank climate of the mat- ted jungle may be debilitating for other pursuits, but apparently not for the busi- ness of wholesale human slaughter. An eminent scientist reports that among other things man is made up of enough fat to make| seven bars of soap. The expert does not state| whether most of this is in the head, as we havel! sometimes heard. Those Matanuska colonists are right up to the minute. Already they have formed a protest com- mittee, a popular diversion of these days. ments might be reminded that another mother’s heart was wrung with anguish in that case too when her little son was snatched from her side. | But Progress Continues. (Kansas City Times.) In discussing proposals for voluntary agreements to take the place of the NRA codes, Attorney Gen- ] Cummings raises a question that has a vital bearing upon all such undertakings. The trouble, the Attorney General says, “always is with the| chiseling minority.” It is found to be always a in legal work “to deal with these small out, if private industry will co-operate the public roups,’ and “100 per cent agreement in any works program will pave the way. lw many people cmm'.r;'-mdo industry will be difficult to obtain.” look upon public works as merely a means for| Tng opstacles readily can be appreciated. It was creating jobs when in fact that is only the m—‘m,, problem of dealing with the minority groups ginning Pushed along effectively the expenditi uAL”hJ[ was held to make the NRA necessary. The of public funds for various needed improvements is idea was that the few hold-outs, the chiselers, would | bound to give impetus to. the machinery of private undertakings. The cnswer, with full co-operation| of indus as Australia has already discovered balanaced budgets and economic recovery. is SNING PRISON REGULATIONS. TIGHT Another prison riot breaks out and this time,! fortunzagely, the rioters are subdued without loss of life. It occurred in a Kansas institution where 348 priscners demanded better prepared food, discharge of the prison doctor and immunity for their action.' Reformation of convicted men and women is cer- tainly a worthy cause which should be promoted, but can it be that in some of our penal institutions the fact that prisoners have sinned against society is being too casually overlooked? Is it true, as many have come to believe, that the work to reform those who have digressed is taking precedence over the original idea of punishment for violating the laws of organized society? Virtually everyone is agreed that there is no place in our scheme of things for the inhuman dungeon methods of olden times but there does sppear to be danger that we might be swinging a little too much to the other extremé. It would seem to those of us looking at these prison breaks from a distance that too great leniency must have a great deal to do with fomenting such uprisings. Prison officials cannot lose sight of the fact _that the men and women given to their custod: are behind the bars for a purpose and that purpose should be fulfilled. The penalty must be paid or organized society is doomed. It is a fine thing to read of those priscners, who, after serving their sentences, go back into the world to become useful citizens. It is the hope for all convicted persons. But the rioting of 348 inmates of a penitentiary because their ham and eggs weren't cooked quite Ibe forced into line. But in an effort to deal with| these small groups in each industry there was im- posed upon the industry of the whole country the |detrimental rest ve order which the Supreme‘ Court’s decision now has ended. | Fortunately, it is the small groups and not the big majorities that present the problem. Objection- |able as they are, the obvious evils of child labor and sweatshops practices have been diminishing over the course of years. State regulations have had something to do with it, but the force of public opinion and a growing sense of industrial re-| sponsibility have been more powerful. The country| is not helpless, nor will it need to resort in the |future to any substitute for the NRA.
