Ten years past man’s promised three years and ten Darrow passed away quietly Chicago home, the victim of a heart ailment. Few attorneys in the history thi if any, have gained the heights in criminal law practice as that attained by Darrow. Many have jumped fromn promuinence at the bar to high office but it difficule to think of cne who has stuck to his as did Darrow to own profession legal ability, which even his opponents admitted was unexcelled, Darrow’s major magnet of public attention was his claim to agnosticism. While the lawyer was ever careful to label himself an agnostic, especially since the famous monkey trials in Tennessee when he faced that equally famous fundamentalist, William Jennings Bryan, the world at large thought of him as an atheist and an unbeliever, which he very definitely was not. He was just what he purported to be, an agnostic—one who believes in the doctrine that neither the nature of God nor the origin of the universe known or knowable. Actually Da w was an advocate and practitioner of brotherly lo He always was going to the aid of those he considered the underdogs. Some times he carried this ardent liberal doctrine of his to the point where tmany belicved he stepped beyond the bounds of public pol Perhaps he did. But in doing so he gave able legal dounsel to scores who could not otherwise afford it, which in it trie humani- terian and gospel principle too rarely found in this day of “what’s in it for me.” score in his of country, is last illustrious Clarence establish an in his existence, is was a GOVERNMENT REORGANIZATION BILL Governmental reorganization, long proposed and now apparently to receive action at this session of Congress, already is coming under fire in the Senate as the bill for reorganization comes under various suggestions for amendment, Probably there will be further changes but as the measure now stands it is reported to include the following salient features: 1) Empower the President, until July 1, 1940— subject to Congressional check whenever deemed ad- (4) Abolish the General Accouniing Office and the office of Controller General; transfer their execu- iive functions to the Budget Bureau and the Budget Director; make the Budget agency and make the appointment of Director subject to Senate confirmation Joint Committee on Public Accounts, welve members from each inittee appoint an Auc Budget Director \gainst possible error Jeint Committee and C { the Auditor General eceipts and expenditures Establish a composed this - com- house; have is about to spe to advise to make gress annual to do W the gloom one appens to be the last well as city taxes before It may have nothing ses on some faces, but today for paying income tax a hey*become delinquent Government As Banker (New York Times) Under instructions from Pr Reconsiruction Finance Corporation that il is prepared to resume its lending activities end to extend credit to “all deserving borro sy move this kind was proposed al the recent con- ference of “small business men” in Washington Whether it will have an important effect upon.the general business situation remains to be seen. It is significant that the experienced jrman of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, Mr. Jesse Jones, expresses doubt as to whether there will be “a demand for any considerable part” of the billion and a half dollars in poten credit which RFC can make avail- able. The results of an earlier exper t of the same kind are responsible for this skepticism. Several years go RFC been making loans incipally »anies, insur- e companies and other credit institutions—un k to make direct Joans also to business entery 1t found at that time that the panks themselves had ample edit facilities and were eager (o make lean: to borrowers whose security offered reasonable assur arice of repayment, The proposal for direct Government loans to industry was only one of a number of recommenda- tions which the conference of small by ess men sub- mitted to the Rocsevelt Administration. The confer- ence also sought repeal of the undistributed profits tax, modification of the capital gains tax, amendment of the Wagner Labor Relations Act to make it a more even-handed measure, and a curb on Government competition with privately owned enterprises. adoption by the Administration of these proposals would do more to restore business confidence and to revive business activity than can reasonably be ex- pected of any move to muraw credit fach es, com- ing'at a time when th alreacy at hand a plethora of idle funds awaiting hm) ortunities for investment. sident Roosevelt, the has announced of cl tit A Dubious (Cincinnati Enquirer) The proposal made in Washington to give increas- ing sums each year to the states for public education has all the earmarks of a precarious experiment. The object is the admirable one of equalizing in some degree the educational opportunities in states widely differing wealth. The intention of those behind the proposal is to provide money for the local com- munities without exercising control over local edu- cation. Mr. Walter Lippmann to the conirary notwith- standing, it is axiomatic that a subsidy customarily entails control. And it is the soundest of administrative principles that no government should pour out money for objects over enjoy control. That leads only to irresponsibility the part of the giver and the recipient alike The question, therefore, is not simply one of equalizing educational opportunity throughout the nation, but rather one of permitting further Federal authority over ecducation. To those who believe in democratic self-government, such a st ring in- crease in the potential authority of a Federal bureau- cy over the minds of American citizens is bound te be alarming—no matter how great the probable con- crete benefits. Already we have seen the centralization of con- trol over educaticn in state governments to a degree \\hl(‘h is not salutary. Carried to the national level s process might be disastrous to the public school em of America, for the genius of our schools in this country lies in their close responsivness to the wishes of the people of each community If democra our objective, we can do better with shabby school buildings and half-trained teachers, answerable to the community, than with magnificent equipment and highly trained teachers regimented in a pattern ordained in Wasaington by officers not even chosen by vote of the people. on T SOLEMN CHURCH RITUAL marked elcvation of the Most Rev.
