NIGHT EDITOR: MARSHALL D. SHULMAN
layor Kelly's
,ensorship.
M AYOR EDWARD KELLY of Chicagot
has revoked the license of the Sel-]
yn Theater, which was showing Erskine Cald-.
ell's play "Tobacco Road," with the charge that
e production is a "mass of outrageous obscen-
y" and "an insult to decent people."'
He continues: "It has been argued that thisf
.ay is justified because it supposedly depicts
)nditions as they really are in a section of the
>untry. Without going into the question of thet
uth of the play, I do not see that this is an argu-L
ent for inflicting upon the people of Chicago,?
cluding impressionable young people, a concoc-
ton so disgusting in every respect."
Mayor Kellysvirtually admits that the conditions
rskine Caldwell depicts in "Tobacco Road" are
ue. To question their truth would be to question1
ie integrity of most reputable observers and in-
stigators. And their judgment has been that
'obacco Road" is not only truth - it is a com-
aratively mild picture of the truth. Those who
re not willing to blind their eyes to conditionsj
i the south know that things are happening there
lat are more shameful and horrible than anything!
aldwell tells of in "Tobacco Road."
For example, Alabama sharecroppers, white and
egro, are paid 40 cents a day for wage labor,
nd 40 cents for picking one hundred pounds of
>tton. They are expected to live on these earn-
gs. But they must buy their food at the plan-'
tion store, where exorbitant prices are charged.'
lmost always in debt to this store, they are un-
Ale to leave the land.
Faced with the alternative of cori.nuing to live
ader these miserable conditions or starving, these
orkers, white and black fovmed the Sharecrop-
ers' Union and struck.
There has followed a wave of brutality and ter-
>r on the part of Alabama landlords and sheriff's'
ficers that has not stopped at murder. If these'
estial measures had not been so openly taken,
they had not been so universally known (the
enchings were reported in Alabama newspapers),
they had not been sworn to in affidavits by
eeing sharecroppers, they would not be believable.
Arkansas workers met similar brutality when
iey organized. Recent investigations have re-
reason for "inflicting upon the people . . ,. a con-
coction so disgusting in every respect" as "Tobac-
co Road." We see one very good reason. The
sooner people throughout the country realize what
conditions for a great mass of Southern "citizens,"
are, the sooner something is going to be done by
American people to put an end to these condi-
tions. They are a national, not a local, disgrace.
Journalist Still
The Fourth Estate ...
EWS THAT the American News-
paper Guild voted, in their recent
referendum, not to affiliate itself with the Amer-
ican Federation of Labor should be welcomed by
both journalists and the public.
Whether the guild itself is a desirable organiza-
tion is debatable, but it should be obvious that
affiliation with the A.F.L., or any group, would
be a constant handicap. News stories should be
objective, although few of them are, and anything
that would tend to destroy what objectivity tlere
is should not be tolerated by newspapermen.
Journalism is a profession, not a trade or craft.
The traditional "fourth estate" status of jour-
nalists is an assurance to the American public
that news reports will be as free from propaganda
or bias as possible. Movements that would destroy
this "class apart" position, such as the affiliation
movement, should be resisted by both the news-
papermen and the public.

More Handbills
To the Editor:
The editorial entitled "Handbill Passing Vs.
College Education," which appeared in The Mich-
igan Dalily of Saturday, October 19, seems to be
characterized throughout by a kind of perverted
logic. The positivism expressed in it so flagrantly
denies the possible existence of ideals that it
arrests on involuntarily. "After all, it takes no
Socrates to figure out that a diploma from this
University is more priceless than anything the
local National Student League has to offer." But
what execrable taste is displayed by the writer
when he employs metaphorically, in such a con-
text, the name of Socrates, the Greek philosopher
who drank hemlock rather than foreswear his
ideals. Plato reports that Socrates drank the
poison as quietly as if it had been wine. At the
last, when all his disciples supposed the hemlock
had taken effect, Socrates called to one of his
young followers: "Crito, we owe a cock to Aesculu-
pius; pay it, therefore, and do not neglect it."
(Aesculupius was the god to whom a ;nan who
was grateful for his recovery from illness made
a sacrifice.) Socrates, it seems, was so sure of a
nobler, happier life to come that he felt in sur-
rendering his life on earth he was only passing
from sickness to health. And who would reproach
Socrates because he had the temerity to "die" for
a cause? Perhaps not even an editorial writer on
the staff of The Michigan Daily?

As Others See It
No Longer A Picnic1
(From the New York Herald-Tribune)
TARNINGS THAT the United States is rapidly
becoming a country of oldsters have lost some-
thing of their terror since the depression. The
latest, from the National Resources Committee.
predicts a stable population by 1960, with twice as
many members over sixty years of age as there
are now, and half as many under twenty. The
prospect sounds lugubrious, but it also suggests cer-
tain advantages.
For instance, there will be a change in occupa-
tional characteristics, the committee believes, and
"as the mechanization of agriculture and indus-
try increases, opportunities for employment in
such fields as education, conservation, recreation
and service occupations will increase." Here is a
ray of hope. Another appears in the belief ex-
pressed by the New York State Planning Board
of the committee that the state will be able to
plan more wisely, that public improvement and
development will suffer less from real-estate spec-
ulation and that the state, presumably attuned
to a wiser electorate, will utilize its natural and
financial resources to better purpose.
There will be disadvantages, of course, the basic
one being the loss of that youthfulness of spirit
which has always characterized America in com-
parison with the older, stabilized peoples of Europe
from which it sprang. Some English observer once
said of America that it was not a country; it was
a picnic. It will no longer be a picnic, but then,
it is not one now, so perhaps it will find an older,
soberer population an improvement.
For its picnic grounds are gone. We refer to the
vast public lands which for the better part of three
centuries beckoned the pioneer to a fresh start
and filled the national imagination with visions of
adventure, riches and independence. These were
all pre-empted and fenced in before that shot at
Serajevo dissolved a civilization. But in our pre-
occupation with the war and subsequently with the
wild speculation of the '20s we failed to realize what
had happened to us. Only with the onset of the
depression did we wake up to it, Then, as employ-
ment shrank and as our youngsters, pouring by the
million from schools and colleges, began clamoring
for non-existent jobs, we knew for the first time
what the frontier had really meant, and we bitterly
mourned its passing.

By KIRKE SIMPSON
WASHINGTON - The Republican
intra-party debate, aided here
and there by such Democrats as
Lewis Douglas, over issues for the
next campaign, goes on apace. Yet,
it is very much a matter of exchanges
of ideas among leaders at this stage.
If there is any considerable popular
response, it is not audible.
As a matter of fact, inquiry among
the government's watchdogs of whatj
the papers are saying discloses that'
only the Townsend planners, out in
various far western states, are very
active among the people. Nothing of'
that appears in the big eastern pa-'
pers. It is just a news note here or1
there among the smaller western
papers of Townsend plan mass meet-
ings and estimates of the numbers
present.1
Otherwise the country at large
seems to be taking a sort of political
breathing spell on its own hook. It
no doubt is listening to all the radio
arguments, reading Messrs. Borah,
Robinson, Young Teddy Roosevelt,
Speaker Byrns, Hoover, Ogden Mills1
and all the rest; but saying very little.
** * *
THAT is the trouble about trying
to work up campaign issues so farl
in advance. There rarely is any way
of testing their popular appeal. The
next opportunity to do that on any
great scale will come as the party 1
primaries get going next year. That
is a long drawn-out affair.
Between now and the great major-t
ity of state primaries may come sev-
eral things which might completely,
alter the issue situation.
One is the action of the Supremet
Court on Triple A or on TVA or ont
other constitutional attacks on "newE
deal" recovery or reform measures.t
A real change-the-constitution move
might come out of that. It could all1
but sweep other issues into the dis-
card for '36.t
Another matter is the outcome of
the huge work relief employment
drive during this winter. Every sug-
gestion of a breathing spell next ses-
sion, of a strictly routine meeting of
Congress, hurried through to release
all hands for the primaries, is based1
on success of that effort. Suppose it
should fail? The next session would
be a stormy and probably greatly pro-
longed one. Resistance to new ad-t
ministration proposals by either Re-
publicans or opposing Democrats
would be redoubled due to the near-l
ness of the presidential election.
* * * *,
ND there also is the European
A a
crisis to consider. If that evolves
into a new European war - some of
the highest placed central figures in
Europe are represented as believing
that it might at any time - the next
session of Congress will have to face
the task of protecting American in-
terests.
No matter how zealously President
Roosevelt clings to the good neighbor
policy of keeping out of the struggle
at all costs which he has voiced, it will
take legislation of sorts not now to
be forecast. The session certainly
will have emergency work to do and
brand new '36 issue material would
be available.
Ten Years Ago
From The Daily Files
Of Oct. 22, 1925
The Varsity Band numbering 75
men entrained for Champaign where
they will present a lavish demon-
stration to the spectators of the Illi-
nois-Michigan football game tomor-
row. Each member of the Band was
required to promise absolute quiet in
the pullman cars after 10:30 p.m.
Campus rumors that the gigantic
giid-graph, installed in Hill Auditor-
ium to graphically picture the away-
from-home football games of the
football team, was inaccurate were
definitely refuted. Bennie Friedman,
Michigan's star, and Red Grange of
Illini fame were to be represented on
the grid-graph with red bulbs, in
contrast to the white bulbs used for
other members of the teams.
The newspaper offices of Chicago
were beseiged for confirmation of re-
ports that Red Grange had broken
one of his legs in practice yesterday
afternoon and would not be in the
line-up of the Michigan-Illinois game
tomorrow. "While these reports were
flying around the country that fam-
ous young man was very active on his
two perfectly good legs," 'the Daily
said. No one knew how the story was
started.
Three University students left Wy-
andotte this morning in a huge maize
and blue colored balloon for Urbana.
The balloon was owned by the engi-
neering college, the demonstration
being a means to further the prac-
ticability of travel by balloon.
Tom Edwards, veteran tackle of
Coach Yost's team, suffered a should-
er injury which was to keep him out
of the Illinois game.

PEACE NEWS : Our Holland correspondent
cables that Dr. Alexander Alekhine and Dr.
Max Euwe have been battling quietly - even
noiselessly - for the chess championship of
the world. At the moment of filing the dis-
patch, Dr. Euwe had just taken Dr. Alekhine's
queen- and was about to checkmate his dic-
tator, a chap named Benito something, when
the latter broke the match's seven-day silence,
loudly proclaiming- that the entire world of
pawns, castles, knights, bishops and katydids
was unfairly arrayed against him, forcing him
to attack Canarsie. On cross-examination, he
said he had never heard of any one named
Hohenzollern. The match was finally turned
over to the H. G. Wells Prognostication Lab-
