Huey Long 1? Dead
Power in Personality
A Ship of Horror
Bathtub Danger
Huey Long is dead at forty-two years
of age.
The world says:
"How young, how
pitiful, to die with
out full opportun
ity !"
Everything Is com
parative, Alexander
the Great, who died
at thirty-two. was
ruler of half the
world at twenty
five: Keats died at
twenty-six; Shelley
at thirty. Today,
men do not develop
as rapidly as In old
days, when Napo
Artfaur Brisbane jeon tJjOUj,ht Of Slli
cide because he had done nothing at
an age that found Alexander ruler of
the world.
The death of Huey Long, regretted
throughout a nation that loathes cow
ardly assassination, is important not
alone because of Senator Long's pow
erful personality, but also because
of its possible effect on the national
election of 193G.
Senator Long Is gone; his power
ceases, as though he had never lived.
Others will pick up the reins of pow
er. in New Orleans and Louisiana;
another will take his place In the
?enate. Efforts, futile, will be made to
find "another Huey Long.**
There is nothing left but the mem
ory of a powerful man. again em
phasizing Goethe's definition of "|>er
aonality," "as the highest good fortune
of earth's children."
France discourages crime, and really
discourages It. The dreaded prison
ahlp. La Martiniere, is on her way
Co the criminal colony In French
Guiana with 773 convicts locked in
eight strong Iron cages in the hold,
with iron bars, cement floors, wooden
benches, hammocks, and overhead a
crias-cross of pipes that would fill the
cages with deadly live steam if mu
tiny broke out.
No parole board sits In French
Guiana. Each man ordered to the
ship receives a new suit of clothes, a
blanket, an extra pair of wooden shoes.
That, with perhaps a few books and
packages of chocolate from relatives,
constitutes his wealth as. wrists
chained, the convicts march, single tile,
op the gangplank, between rows of
bayonets.
; They go to prison, to stay In prison.
J It Is a hard system, but being mur
dered on the American plan Is also a
bard system.
Within a few days two women, one
past sixty, the other seventy years
old. have been found dead In their
bathtubs, apparently drowned. The
slippery surface" of a porcelain tub is
dangerous for older persons. They
should observe the greatest care: a
slip, the head striking the edge of the
tub. can easily cause unconsciousness
followed by drowning.
Rubber factories should make am*
extensively advertise rubber mats fo
the bottom of bathtubs, with a suctim
arrangement to prevent slipping.
? While the League of Nations talk*
peace and arbitration Mussolini recalls
his consuls from various places 11
Ethiopia, reminding you of the clergy
man who had a call to a Inrge city
His little daughter said, 'Taps Is in hi/
library, praying for light, and mamma
Is upstairs packing."
The Douglas airliner, called the "Fly
ing I-abnratory," has Just flown frorr
Kansas City to Newaik. N. J., tlirougt
the "sub stratosphere,'* which means
about 20,000 feet up. At that height
very "thin" air, with engine super
charged and propellers properly "lilt
ed." makes high speed possible. Th?
flight was 1,125 miles, nonstop; pas
aengers wore oxygen masks.
Mr. Max Baer, of the Jewish rac*.
will fight on September 24 Mr. Joe
-Louis, of the African negro race, and
already $300,000 worth of the tickets
have been sold. The price for a good
aeat Is $23.
Mr. Baer. who gave a pitiful ex
hibition. not long ago, when he per
mitted his "heavyweight championship
of the world" to wriggle off of the
hook, now promises to "chase that hoy
(Joe Louis) out of the ring In two
rounds."
Publicly Mr. Joe I^ouis gives an imi
tation of "Br'er Babbit." and says little.
Maneuvers demonstrating French
war power, as It stands today, convince
European experts that France pos
sesses "the strongest military machine
In the world." She possesses, also,
men willing to fight, as shown at Ver
dun and elsewhere.
The government, floating five hun
dred million dollars more of Interest
bearing notes, rejoices because thej
are snapped up 'in a day." Of course
they are "snapped up" under prevailing
conditions. Men with money are as
glad to hide It away in government
notes and bonds as men In a cyclone
country are glad, temporarily, to hide
away in cyclone cedars.
