A Return To
Free Private Erterpr ise ,.
YESTERDAY we asked in an ed
torial how far President Rooseve
intends to go in the direction of central govern
ment regulation of industry, a question that h
had not answered in his acceptance speech.
An .interesting clue to the answer we may e
peot in the course of the coming campaign is th
suggested, significantly enough, by both Doroth
Thompson and Walter Lippmann in their column
yesterday.
Both of these able political cbmmentators ar.
rive at the conclusion that there are signs in th
air of a decided change in the direction of the poa
litical and economic philosophy of the America:
people and hence, since he is sensitive to that di
rection, of the President. Three years ago, the
say, collectivism was in the air. There wass
feeling that planned economy would give us th
security those Dark Years lacked. The Presiden
proposed a program of regulation through larg
monopolies, and the philosophy of the NRA dom
inated the national scene.
Today we have a measure of security. As a
consequence, we have changel (according t
Miss Thompson and Mr. Lippmann) to the poin
where we favor the restoration of free privat
enterprise through the regulation of monopolies-
a condition in which individual opportunity i
more plentiful than under -a system of economi
planning.
Because of the generalities of the Philadelphi
speech (we do not condemn it on that account
there are occasions, perhaps, for generalities) we
cannot say whether this thesis accurately repre-
sents the position of the President. He may hav
meant something of the sort. If he did, Republi-
cans and Democrats will be on the same side o
the fence-the restoration of the conditions o
free private enterprise through the regulation o
monopolies-as opposed to the semi-socialistic
ideal of central government regulation of owner-
ship of industries. The, only difference will be
that Republicans cannot guarantee the regula-
tion of monopolies, since it is so largely supported
by those it would wish to regulate.
Justice
Made To Order.. ..
A RATHER depressing reflection
strikes us as an afterthought of
the play, The Night of Jan. 16, presented here
several weeks ago in the course of the Dramatic
season.
The play presents a murder trial, and a jury,
made up of invited guests from the audience, de--
cides upon the basis of the evidence presented in
the course of the trial. An ending is written for
both "guilty" and "not guilty" decisions.
The jury in Ann Arbor was made up, for the
most part, of members of the faculty and prom-
inent persons associated with the University. The
decisions here were not the same; in four cases
they voted "guilty" in four "not guilty." Juries
in New York likewise did not agree. The depres-
sing reflection is this- if two juries, made up of
reasonable intelligent people, are presented with
identical evidence and come to radically different
decisions, how can we look with any measure
of assurance to our courts for justice? What if
the defendent had really been on trial for her life,
and it had not been a play-would it have been
mere whimsy that would have decided whether
she was to live or to die?
To bemoan the fallibility of an institution in-
evitably human is of course futile; but it suggests
that institutions thus fallible should not be em-
powered to put a man to death, as is done in some
states.
Sorority House
Goes Ultra-Modern
INDIANAPOLIS-Girls of Alpha Chi Omega
at Butler University have gone modern in their
new house, inspired by buildings they saw at
the Chicago exposition.
Built of cinder blocks paintedwhite, the house
can accommodate 11 residents, two guests, a chap-
eron and 20 non-resident members who lunch
there daily. It cost $15,000.
Indirect lighting, asphalt floors, a sun deck and
glass brick walls are a few of the features. The
clubroom is two stories high.

WhyMen Stutter
More Than Wo men
EMPORIA, Kas.-Mont Hilleary, Emporia
Teachers' college senior, after studying the sub-
ject of stammering, states that from 2 to 10 times
more men than women stutter. He advanced as
the reason that men have two vocabularies- ordi-
nary and profane.

Stores Cooperate
On Executive 'Course
CHICAGO-Chicago department stores will be
used as laboratories to train future executives un-
der a plan to be tried by Northwestern University.
Service scholarships will be awarded to a care-
fully selected list of graduates. College men and
women from many accredited institutions in the
country are eligible.
The scholarships require that the students work
part time in the cooperating stores at a weekly
wage sufficient to provide for their college ex-
penses. The rest of the time they will take grad-
uate work at Northwestern and are expected to
earn a master's degree in a year.
Pass The Frijoles,
S'Il Vous Plait, Garcon
EVANSTON, Ill.--Students studying foreign
languages at Northwestern University are to live
in the verbal environment of the peoples they
study.
Plans call for the opening of French and Span-
ish pensions on the campus where students study-
ing those languages will be served meals by
waiters who speak French or Spanish and where
informal lectures, discussions and musical pro-
grams will be entirely in those tongues. Other
similar pensions are to be opened later.
Houston's Seal
To Stamp Diplomas
HOUSTON, Texas-The personal seal of Gen.
Sam Houston, hero of the Texas war for inde-
pendence, is being affixed this year to diplomas of
graduates of the University of Houston and the
five high schools here.
Mrs. James C. Brown of LaPorte owns the seal-_
a pencil topped with amethyst on which is carved
"H," encircled by "Ever Thine."
Northwestern Puts
Wallace On Faculty
EVANSTON, Ill.-Northwestern University is
listing Henry A. Wallace, secretary of agricul-
ture, as a member of its summer school faculty.
Wallace has agreed to take part in a course on
"Contemporary Thought." He will visit the cam-
pus July 15 and 16 to lecture and lead discussions
on "Agriculture and American Life."
Tap Dancing Fever
Seizes Ohio Students
YELLOW SPRINGS, Ohio-A sudden burst of9
enthusiasm has started the youth of this town
of 1,500 "hitting it" and "swinging it" with alli
the vivacity if not the tap dancing skill of Fred
Astaire and Ginger Rogers
Antioch College started a tap dancing class,
open to village boys and girls. For months only
15 girls attended. Suddenly the one class be-
came three. Some 65 boys and girls, ranging
from 5 to 15, made the gymnasium walls reecho
thunderously every Saturday.
I'
Shall We Play 'Monopoly'?
(From the New York Herald Tribune)
EDITOR'S NOTE: This analysis is interesting in the
light of the article Recurring Themes in Platforms,
appearing at the bottom of this page.
FOR all its theatricality, emotionalism and soul-
wearying oratorical efforts, the convention
period has managed to state at least three ma-
jor issues with a clarity unusual in this stage of
American Presidential electoral campaigns. There
is the issue of spending. To the Republican in-
sistence upon economy and budgetary probity, the
New Deal has answered with a fairly frank pro-
gram of spending first and the budget afterward.
There is the issue of centralization. Where the
Republicans have declared flatly for meeting a
whole series of our chief problems through state
and local action, the New Deal has specifically
replied that such problems "cannot be adequately
handled" by the states and has pledged itself to
give them "Federal treatment." And there is a
third and still broader issue bound up in the anti-
monopoly planks which, though less easily stated,
has been sharply pointed up by the President's
acceptance speech.
The Republicans pledged themselves to enforce
the anti-trust laws to the end "that monopoly
shall be eliminated and that free enterprise shall
be fully restored.'" The New Deal platform prom-
ised not only to enforce existing laws but to enact
new ones, to stamp out not only "monopolistic
practices" but also the "concentration of economic
power," while the President gave an even broader
scope to this theme by making his acceptance
speech wholly a proclamation of war on the "ec-
onomic royalists" and "despots." The two at-
titudes may seem to be the same, but they are
not; they inject, in fact, into a political campaign
a basic issue as to the problems presented by the
large-scale integration of the modern economic
system.
The Republicans hold that the system itself is
not at fault and that the problems it raises can
best be met simply by checking it at those points
where it develops into monopoly controls or those
types of "conspiracy in restraint of trade" which
have been recognized by long experience since the
enactment of the Sherman law in 1890. The New
Deal reply is, in effect, that this is a mere trifling
with the question; that it is not monopoly which
counts but "monopolistic practices" and "concen-
tration of economic power"-much looser terms
which may well include much in the development
of American economic organization since the Civil
War. Not simply actual monopoly, but such things
as trade association cooperation, stabilization
agreements, divisions of territory, basing-point
price systems and so on must be brought under
the stern hand of government control.
This may seem a more inspiring and more fun-
damental approach. But it carries a curious
paradox with it, theoretically easy of demonstra-
tion and simply confirmed by the history of N.R.A.
This is that to restore .a free competitive system
and "equality of opportunity" in this fashion de-
mands a degree of direct governmental interven
tion which must render free competition impos-
sible and bring all opportunity under the direct'
ukase of government. Neither Mr. Roosevelt nor
his New Dealers may have followed their own pro-
gram to this logical conclusion, but this is where
it leads, and in forcing the issue into the cam-
paign they have given it an importance which
must certainly appear in the debates of the com-
ing months. The "monopoly" problem, which is
neither simple nor superficial, has taken its place
in the forefront of the political battle.

Def ers TNSaming
f Comptroller
TilLater Date
WASHINGTON, June 30.-(W)--
Appointment of a successor to Comp-
troller General John R. McCarl was
deferred today by President Roose-
velt for at least two weeks.
McCarl's term of office expires at
midnight tonight. Richard N. El-
liott, first assistant in the general
accounting office, will serve as acting
head of the comptroller general's of-
fice for the time being.
The likelihood that McCarl would
be drafted immediately into the serv-
ice of a senate committee on gov-
ernmental reorganization grew to-
night. Chairman Byrd (Dem. Va.) of
the committee said he was "extreme-
ly gratified at the willingness of Mc-
Carl to assist us."
"Noman in public life,' he added,
"is better qualified to aid in this im-
portant work."
McCarl spent most of his last day
in office in saying goodbye to his
hundreds of employes. He shook
hands and thanked them for their
"fine cooperation" as they streamed
past his desk until late afternoon.
The white-thatched Scot, who has
passed on the expenditure of bil-
lions of dollars of public funds, said
he was "deeply interested" in the ef-
forts of the senate committee to work
out a more economical set-up of gov-
ernment agencies.

Recurring Themes In Platforms
ii _
V
NEW and USED
(From the Springfield, Mass., Republican)
Favorite themes of party platforms always have
been extravagance, bureaucracy and tyranny of op-
ponents when in office; one of Lincoln's planks in
1860 urged "return to rigid economy and accounta-
bility;" Democrats in 1908 viewed creation of new
offices with alarm; this writer calls constant warn-
ings "a wholesome tradition."
DOWN the "corridors of time" echo three great
issues in party platforms. Bureaucracy is one
that has never failed. In 1908, the national Dem-
ocratic platform called attention to the alarming
increase of office-holders:
"During the past year, 23,784 were added, cost-
ing $16,156,000, and in the past six years of Re-
publican administration, the total number of new
offices created, aside from many commissions, has
been 99,319.. .
"We denounce this great and growing increase
in the number of officeholders as not only un-
necessary and wasteful but also as clearly indi-
cating a deliberate purpose on the part of the
administration to keep the Republican party in
power at public expense."
Extravagance has always been, happily, a favor-
ite . issue with the party out of power, running
about even with bureacracy. The reader may be
surprised on learning the date of the following
platform declaration:
"That the people justly view with alarm the
reckless extravagance which pervades every de-
partment of the Federal Government; that a re-
turn to rigid economy and accountability is in-
dispenahle to arrest the gvstematip Dlundr ofi
SEX
conservative administration of the sedate James
Buchanan.
Still another fearsome echo from the past
that is bound to achieve permanence in party
warfare, because having had no beginning it can
have no end, is dictatorship. The best samples -of
platform rhetoric extant, in this connection, are
Democratic- that is, prior to the Cleveland plat-
form of the Republicans.
This Democratic denunciation of usurpation
and tyranny in 1864 grew out of the conditions of
the Civil War:
"The subversion of the civil by military law
in states not in insurrection; the arbitrary mili-
tary arrest, imprisonment, trial and sentences of
American citizens in states where civil law exists
in full force; the suppression of freedom of speech
and of the press; the denial of the right of asylum;
the open and avowed disregard of state rights;
the employment of unusual test oaths, and the
interference with and denial of the right of the
people to bear arms in their defense."
But here is one of later date when the country
had enjoyed prosperity in a period of profound
peace:
"We favor the nomination and election of a
President imbued with the principles of the Con-
stitutioi, who will set his face sternly against
executive usurpation of legislative and judicial
functions, whether that usurpation be veiled under
the guise of executive construction of exisiting
laws, or whether it takes refuge in the tyrant's
nlea of neessity or spnerior wisdom."
