FAIR CRITICISMS WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 30, 1935 General Hugh Johnson, first administrator of NRA, in his article, "Think Fast, Captain," in the Saturday Evening Post, says the New Deal was good as originally planned, but confusion of counsel, incompetence of administrators, terrible "timing," no co-ordination, bad staff work, and contradictory purpose all are fair criticisms of the New Deal today. He asserts that the administration "dishonored its pledge, and that the AAA has made no progress toward permanent solution of agricultural problems," while PWA and WPA are denounced as failures. General Johnson says the "Harvard crowd," (brain trust) have been put into key positions where they can dictate Mr. Rosenvelt's policies. These criticisms, coming from a former member of the official family, one who for two years was a close friend and adviser to the President, seem more or less sensational. It is interesting to retrace our steps a few years and see the General's criticism of people who, at that time, were finding fault with the New Deal. Writing in Harpers he says he has, "no patience with the canned, generalized comment of professional critics about matters in which they have no part, about which they know next to nothing, and from which they stand as far remote in practice as a mail order and correspondence cowboy from the sweet and effort of a Wyoming round-up." The chief purpose to be served by making this comparison is to establish from his own speeches, the General's worth as a prophet. The General has asserted he is actuated only by, "unswerving loyalty to the President and his ideals." He believes, he says, that he could be of service by calling public attention to what he considers the administration's mistakes. Certainly the charges of General Johnson seem to require an answer because the fundamental election choice next year will lie between the principles of Hooverism—which means special privilege—and those of Roseveit, which means social privilege. Public thinking must be confined to the real issue in 1936. What a terrible place New York must be! Gunmen battling with each other and filling the air and one another with machine gun and revolver bullets, while innocent bystanders go crawling under tables and down sewer pipes. Gracious! one would think the police down there would do something about it. We certainly don't permit such carryings on in Chicago. And indeed, NO! -Chicago Daily Tribune. The dentists attending the clinic here are on a sort of vacation from their work, so it would be hardly kind to make them a sightseeing tour of the oil field west of town to watch the drillers doing their stuff—Arkansas City Traveler. BEGGAR BEFORE THE PALACE "Through the 'king of kings', Haile Selassie, lives in regal胁务, this (a picture of a beggar boy) is a common sight, even at the gates of his palace." So read the words under a picture of an Ethiopian beggar boy stretching out his hand for alma in a recent issue of a midwestern daily. And the people of the United States pay their president $75,000 a year while unemployed fill the bread lines. An asinine comparison you say. Of course it is, but the first case is typical of the type of propaganda that people of the United States must guard against during the next few months. If the present Italo-Ethiopian conflict continues as a conflict between two nations, the United States will be able to remain neutral without any great trouble. But if it broadens into a European conflict over the supremacy of the Mediterranean, as William Borah recently said it might, then the United States will receive urgent appeals to enter the fray in order to preserve world peace. If the nations of the world become involved in actual fighting, then beware of propaganda. Remember the powerful yet absurd picture of the beggar boy. Campus Opinion Articles in this column do not necessarily refute the opinion of the editor. Articles written by an editor are largely subject to cutting by the editor. Contributions to the editor are welcome. With all the pink tea and painted smiles, the women on the Hill seen pretty determined in their effort to put their preferential candidate into office. Of course, security women vote for their sorority sister whether or not she is fitted for the office. In former years combined with a lack of training, they have never realized their strength in swinging on election. If independent women are going to call themselves independent they must stand on their own two feet. Any worthwhile leader has an independent nature of his own. He does not run to a so-called superior for advice on every little thing; he does not expect to get onto politics on the Hill they must stand up for their rights. They must be independent. H.K. Editor Daily Kansan: Tomorrow is election day for freshman women, the first opportunity for them to have any hand in the government on the Hill. For many the occasion is one to be passed over lightly to be forgotten or ignored. For others it is important because they appreciate the choice is offered them and are willing and eager to cooperate. The women in organized houses have long been informed of the importance of the election and will be at the polls to support their sisters one hundred per cent. It is the independent women to whom this article is addressed, to their and to their loyalty for their "sisters" who, like them, live out of organized houses. The women in organized houses with them bring offices, independents can anticipate some hand in the government on the Hill. These women are hereby urged to vote and to put an end to the unfair representation they have had in W.S.C.A. in the past - ES, CH. Our Contemporaries THE BALLYIHO OF TRADITIONS Duane, Northwestern The Daily Northwestern The agitation for wholesale revival of long dead campus followways and traditions is again under way. The Student Combine political party has incorporated a plank in its platform to revive dormant Northwestern institutions. Homecoming heads are ballyhoying the Homecomers to the college, while other paraphernalia of Josephus Collegeians have been dusted off and taken from the shelves of a musty pant. Specifically the Combine offers the following on traditions: "To foster and sustain the traditions of the university with special attention to the re-establishment of such traditions," he wrote. The N. K. Cireas and Holo Day. "The U. M. also presented an investigation into the matter of traditions." Traditions are not and cannot be a matter of rule and regulation. When they become so they cease to be traditions. Spontancy is the keynote of tradition. So far, children have been taught that their parents have been that of spooled infants who resent the passing of their old toys and are incapable of substituting new ones if the play instinct persists. There is a definite place for school. It is not an institution of any other healthy social institution. Possibly its development does not lie in the field of Hobe days and undergraduate rowdyism. Possibly a medium more in keeping with traditional values and responsibility of college students could be devil'd.

CHILD WHO BROUGHT RAINFALL HONORED IN COMANCHE DANCE Son of Chief Was To Be Sacrificed in Effort To End Period El. Note: This is the third of a series. Flags of articles on south western Indiana. $ ^{a+1} $ By Darold Pee Eagle c'36 Many years ago a group of Indian were given the name Comanche, meaning "ones who were most skillful." This supposition is borne out in many of their native ceremonies and especially in their "Eagle Coronation dance." The Eagle dance is held once a year, the date being set by the tribal court of Gawai. The dance was young and young before the Communes were on reservations. There was a terrible draught, crops were burned, springs dried up, game died and many Indians At this time a son was born to one on the chiefs. He was named Brewedocole, meaning the unfortunate brother of the tribe thought the child was the cause of the draught, and decided, in a moment of despair, to banish the father and mother from the village. In despair, the old child began praying to the Great Spirit for rain. On the third day of his prayers a flock of eagles flew overland. According to an ancient legend, upon the death would baffle some prominent member of the tribe. Immediately a council was held and it was decided that if the baby's life was offered as a sacrifice, then the council would care for human life might be appeased. To Offer Sacrifice But before the saffron was made rain begin to fall. The Indians thought the child was responsible, so instead of a death ceremony, the child was given thanks for the good luck he had brought to the tribe. Hence, every year a great ceremony is given in honor of the eagles and the child who brought the Comanche tribe rain during the severe drought. Chief Initiates Eagle The dance and ceremony is executed in the following manner. The chief of the tribe stands in the center of a seated group. He is dressed in a completely feathered eagle outfit so he will resemble the honored bird. On his left and right are two young warriors with feathers down. The chief's begins to chant, Wheel-wheel-wheel. He then flaps his wings and begins the intricate steps of the Eagle dance. The two warriors on right and left take up the chant will an echo of Sheil-sheil-shewee to give the impression that they are birds on a great flight. The舞 is brought to a close when the leader shows the movements of the舞 and then indicating the end of the bird's journey. Feasting and Drinking Following this a prayer is offered by the oldest member of the tribe. This ends the coronation舞和 the tribe then rejoices in a huge feast and the drinking of the Pecore Caitl native Indian drink is one of the most --at the Check Your Diet Does it include: 1 pint of milk 1 egg 1 egg 1 raw vegetable 1 cooked vegetable A cereal Bread and Butter Fruit These are protective for Health.

The drinking of the peyote is as important as any other part of the ceremony. At the present time Comanches are located on reservations in south east Oklahoma.

Single Breasteds — Double Breasteds Plain and Sport Backs $24.50 to $34.50 What's inside? The woman who started out to fill her library only with books with red bindings, or books whose names suggest red—"Red Pepper Burns," "The Song of the Cardinal," "The Scarlet Letter"—made a whim the basis of her choice. She wasn't particularly interested in the merits of those books. Her aim was to fill up space. Yet when you buy books, you are concerned with what's inside them. And when you buy a flashlight, a refrigerator, a radio—you want wiser than whimsy buys. You want to know the inside goodness of those products, know it before you buy them, be persuaded by what's inside. You may hesitate between two flashlights. You can't tell by the appearance which is good, or which is better. Advertisements could tell you. They point out the underderness of a product. The truths you can see, and the truths you can't see. The amount and strength of service to expect of what you see. Not just a refrigerator—but how long the ice lakes in it, how it makes lettuce crisp. And not only the now inside merits, but the future inside merits. It's these unseen news and futures that make a product worth its price. Read the advertisements. Then you can know a product to its center—to its last chapter of service—before you buy. 1.25 2.00 1.50 Knowing the advertisements habitually means always strength-buys Read advertising often A
