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.

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.

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."
