TWENTY MEN AND A DRUM 1 5TJ i7 Letters From Readers "I guess I mast be falling for him.

I'm beginning to worry when he spends money on me." Nine months before election day, the Republican art! the Democratic parties present a curious contrast in situations. The Republicans have a platform but no candidate. The Democrats have a candidate but no platform. The platform which the Republicans will put into definite shape at Cleveland next June is plainly one of outright opposition to the New Deal. It will not take the form of opposition to every phase, every activity, every alphabetical bureau resulting from the Roosevelt administration.

But by and large it will be flatly, emphatically and determinedly against the Roosevelt theory of "spending to prosperity," the Roosevelt out-of-balance budget-; the Roosevelt silver policy; the Roosevelt "planned economy" (which many economists refer to as "planned and the Roosevelt attack on large industry. This platform is not drafted. It is doubtful if a single plank is in final form. But the discussions, speeches, controversies and court decisions of the past few months have given leading Republicans a pretty good idea of some of the things the country wants in the way of administration that it isn't getting now. Such a platform must be conservative enough to win and hold the conservative cast and the industrial and financial leaders qf the country; and it must be liberal enough to win and hold as much as possible of the agricultural west.

There are sections of the country, besides the solid south, that the Republicans frankly admit they'probably can not carry with any platform or any candidate. These are sections where the Roosevelt spending spree has made the recipients of benefit payments believe that the reelection ofF.D.R. means perpetual Christmas. But the Republicans have no candidate. Rather, to be exact, they have no one candidate.

They have a multiplicity. Today the leading possibilities, in alphabetical order, are probably Borah, Knox and Landon. On the horizon are Vandenberg and Lowden, and several others just below the horizon ready to pop up if the popping seems the strategic thing to do. The problem of the Republicans in the next four and a half months before the national convention is to find THE man. It is not an easy job.

The Democrats have a candidate but no platform. Up to within a few months, they had both a candidate and a platform. The candidate, of course, is Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the platform was reelection for four more years on the record and on the policies of the past four. The supreme court of the United States has knocked that platform into a cocked' hat. The "brain trust," which started out ALOHA TOWER By DR.

A. W. SLATEN CABALISTIC 1936 Editor, The Star-Bulletin. Sir: The ancients, who believed that certain numbers (1, 2, 3. 4, 7, 11, 40, etc.) have deep inner meanings, would have found the number 1936 very much to their liking.

The number 1936 is divisible by 11; the quotient, 176, is also divisible by 11. The resulting quotient, 16, is divisible by 4. and this quotient is again divisible by 4. leaving 1, or unity. This year is also a leap year.

It has two divisions of 11 (pairs) and another two divisions of 4 (pairs). And it all boils down to unity (pairs made one). It ought to be a great year for marriages all over the world, especially between eld bachelors and spinsters at the 11th hour. Don't be too shy, girls, 1936 will never come again. CHARLES HOOPER, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho- "He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good." Declaration of Independence.

Such is the first of the 18 charges brought by the fathers of th republic against King George the Third. To them his refusal to assent was a wrong that justified them in their revolution. It will be strange if some eye is not caught by this sentence of th honored document if some voice is not raised to declare of the supreme court, "The have refused their assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good!" Scottshoro scores again, making the front pages with another horror in the treatment of the Negro. Twenty Negro prisoners are being taken to work on a cold day caged in a locked bus along with a drum of gasoline. Of a sudden the bus is a blast of flame, perhaps from a bucket of hot coals, perhaps from a lighted paper flvcr which a prisoner was trying to warm his hands.

Twenty men in a "cage, helpless, burned to death, cooked, charred, unrecognizable. Scottshoro in the papers. The law can not be tender. It is not assumed that these prisoners should have been carried in a cushioned electrically heated limousine, nor that they should not have been caged, nor that the cage should not have been locked. Crime and its punishment arc among the terrible bottom facts cf society, stark, horrible, but from which there is no escape.

But the drum there is no excusing that. That carelessness, thoughtlessness, negligence and not sheer brutality was the cause of the accident is Indicated by the bucket of coals. The guards were not without humanity. To aid against the pinchirg cold and supply a little more heat than the crowded bodies could give, they' allowed the bucket of coals. But the drum there is no excusing that.

It is an evil fame for Scottshoro, adding to the long tale of Negro suffering and wrong in an America glutted with cheap idealism and poor in precious justice. Ignorance explains much. Color contempt can be understood. The mental attitude that first, made the Negro a slave will of course last long. It is remembered that it is not yet four score years since the, supreme court of the United States said that a Negro had no rights a white man was bound to respect.

But the drum there is no excusing that! In 1776 it was the tyranny of a despot; in 1936 it is the pressure of the dead hand upon the living present; a constitutionolatry like that of the Scribes and Pharisees for the Pentateuch, of the Talmud ic rabbis for the Mosaic code. "It is written" has ever been a formula far more authoritative than any appeal of flesh and blood. Only when the evilly entreated could themselves adduce an authentic scripture has their call been heard. INSIDERS BUT ING SENATE BONUS BILL WILL PASS AND FDR WILL SIGN IT; HOUSE LIBERALS SEEK TO FORCE McCARL RULING ON SHIP-MAIL CONTRACTS; U. SULVG INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES.

IS ALSO ITS BIGGEST CUSTOMER; COMPTROLLER GENERAL RUTH ROOSEVELT TAKES OVER ELLIOTTS PAY CHECKS. Since this was written in Washington, the president has vetoed the bonus bill and his veto was overridden by both booses of congress. WASHINGTON. The boys in the know on Capitol Hill are offering these betting odds on the bonus bill: Two to one that, as finally enacted, the bill will not be in the form adopted by the house, but as revised by the senate. A little better than even money that the president will not veto the act.

The insiders don't claim to know positively that Roosevelt will sign the bill. But they are so confident he is leaning their way that they are willing to put up money. There are two reasons for their belief: 1 Practically unanimous sentiment among thre president's advisers that he should climb en the bonus bandwagon. 2 The president's private belief that a majority on the supreme court is being motivated by political rather than legal views in ruling on New Deal acts. Therefore, it is argued, he too might as well be political on the bonus.

There is tremendous pro-bgnus pressure on the president from within his inner council. Every congressional leader, including Vice Presidential Jack Garner, is strongly against a veto. Their argument is that he can't stop the legislation; therefore might as well grab the political capital to be gained by signing it. The forces opposed to the bonus, they point out to the president, are against him anyway, and his veto of the bonus won't win them over. The fact that a White House representative participated in the secret conferences which worked out the revised senate bill is a significant indication that this line of reasoning has carried weight with Roosevelt.

COLUMNIST VS. COLUMNIST Asked whether she would read the daily output of Alice Roosevelt Longworth, her rival columnist. Mrs. Roosevelt replied: "I don't think I shall read it any more than I read other things. I read a great deal every day, you know." ON THE SPOT Comptroller General J.

R. McCarl. who has thrown many a monkeywrench into the New Deal, is going to be given a dose of his own medicine. A secret plan is on foot to force him to pass on the validity of several lush ocean mail contracts negotiated during the Coolidge and Hoover regimes. McCarl is a Republican with reputed presidential ambitions.

Recently the postoffice department began testing the speed of ships carrying mail to ascertain whether they met contract requirements. Out of 11 ships tested, only three came up to specifications. A group of house liberals led by Rep. Otha D. Wearin, scrappy Iowa Democrat, contend that this failure to meet speed minimums automatically cancels the government contracts.

Ship owners deny this; claim that the only penalty which can be imposed is a fractional cut in poundage rates. Under the law, McCarl, as the federal auditing officer, must pass on all government payments. So far he has taken no action on the ocean mail matter. To force him to declare himself Congressman Wearin iis drafting a resolution asking McCarl for a formaj ruling. Note j-McCarl's 15 year term expires this year.

Under the law he can not be reappointed, but there is a movement under way to amend it so he could be renajmed. The liberals, very much opposed to him, hope the ocean mail controversy will furnish them with potent ammunition to blast his chances for reappointment. MRS. ELLIOTT ROOSEVELT Members of the president's family say that at last son Elliott is completely under control. Controller general is his new wife, the former Ruth Googins of Fort Worth, Tex.

Ruth takes over the family pay check at the end of the month. Elliott gets enough to live on and no more. She decides what he can do and what he can't, and apparently Elliott takes it and likes it. BUSINESS MACHINES Uncle Sam is gunning for a company of which he is the biggest customer. It is International Business Machines, whose president, Thomas J.

Watson, is one of the highest paid executives in American industry. He gets $1,000 a day, or $365,000 a year, and. incidentally, is a good Demr.crat and heavy contributor to the Roosevelt campaign. MERRY-GO-ROUND Unofficial federal reserve estimates place the national income for 1935 at $57.7 billion, a 5 per cent increase over the year previous. The Townsend old age pension movement may be potent in a number of western states, but on Capitol Hill it is still puny.

Only 60 out of the 526 members of congress replied to a questionnaire sent out by the national headquarters of the organization asking their position on the issue. Of the 60, only 39 favored the plan. Senator George Norris is planning to force action this session on a measure that would place second and third class postmasters under the civil service law. At present they are political patronage. Postmaster General Jim Farley indorsed such a plan last year, but no move was made to do anything about it One of the shortest bills to be introduced in years is that offered by Rep.

Arthur P. Lamneck, Ohio Democrat, to repeal the potato act. It consists of 27 words. (Copyright, 1936, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.) ON BEHALF OF "MARBLE GAME" Editor, The Star-Bulletin, Sir: My hat off to the local jobber of marble games for the advertisement "A Plea For Fair Play" which appeared in your paper today. Professional bigots will be depressed to learn that the skill games are just an enlarged form of common children's games of having a plunger strike marbles to get them into holes to run up a score.

Parents have been buying these games for youngsters for many years and no one has been contaminated. We must not cease to use common sense in the matter of trying to prohibit diversion that is not harmful. Let us first end door prizes, lucky number contests, raffles, wheels of chance, card prizes, before we deprive the masses of marble games. If we must have our heads in heaven, let us not forget that we are not yet -gels and must keep our feet on earth. Will the thousands of people who enjoy playing Ujese games let a few reformers dictate to them where to spend their nickels? Lets have more amusement.

E. KNOTT. So, one imagines, will a Leftist argue and with some Tightness in his claim. Once a Messiah protestingly asserted, "The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath! It is written, but I say unto you!" high words, bravely spoken, but to no avail. The Tory with his Torah was unperturbed.

So is it ever, for the past speaks with authority, the present with pathos or pleading or logic alone. To the Rightist the argument, of course, is specious. The voice of the people is the voice of God only when it is an echo from an ancient time. True, it must have once been vital, new, disturbing and untried, but it is holy now. In the fitful wash and backwash of current doctrine its teaching stands serene and impregnable in its apostolic succession.

That which binds looses, and that which looses binds. He who would alter or forego the constitution cuts underneath him the ladder by which he has made all his upward climb. It is his Magna Charta, and, like Jury trial, a protection from the rapacity of the strong. Both these views, doubtless, will be urged as the months go by, for, unless all signs are misinterpreted, America stands once more at a parting of the ways. The choice is between Fascism and democracy and the question is this: Shall the people rule? Some may say with seeming truth that the people never yet have ruled tnd never will, but that cynicism finds no entrance to a patriot's heart.

Though by pencil and paper it is easily proved that even in democracies a minority is always in control, that minority may at least be representative, and it is for representative government our forefathers staked their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor. SELASSIE CRIES, "I'LL The legal mind is not subject to sentiment, neither, indeed, can be. Its supreme control is documentary, not emotional. Its end is equity, but its means is law.

The supreme court has twice ruled out humanitarian enactments of congress for the prohibition of child labor not. assuredly, because the august judges contemplated heartlessly the exploitation of the weak, but because their hands were tied.

The NRA was first of the big props to be knocked out from under the administration's announced program of "social, justice." Then came a string of adverse decisions on lesser phases of the synthetic salvation toward which the Democratic party was leading us.

Then came the most shattering blow, the outlawing of the AAA. Now the president and his advisers foresee similar decisions against the Wagner labor relations act, the Guffey coal act and the social security act. Simultaneously, the administration's budget program has been given a rude kick where it hurts most. Suddenly it is admitted what all good financiers have been saying for months that the 1936 session of congress must impose new federal taxes. This is a particularly unwelcome prospect for an administration which is up for reindorsement by the voters on the score of its past performances.

The publicity and announcements made in your valuable paper have aided immensely in the success of our fight against diphtheria. Incomplete reports to date show that approximately 3,871 were immunized against diphtheria on the island of Oahu, distributed as follows: Rural Oahu 911 Private physicians Sc. health examinations I'I8b Total 3'871 This total is far below that of previous campaigns and is indicative of the fact that either we have reached the saturation point in our diphtheria immunization among our children or the community as a whole has not responded as well as in thI beTieve. however, that the former contention is correct, but nevertheless this protective treatment must be continued, since there were three deaths reported recently due to diphtheria.

H. Fditor The Star Bulletin. Sir- A few days ago. a tender young specimen of "approaching" masculinity, who labeled himself 'Satisfied" quoted in the "Letters of the People column that he was "quite sure" he represented "the opinions, the feelings, the ideals and standards of that fine body of men rising in the American colleges of today youth." In connection he wrote: "We agree with i the novelist, the play writers; we agree with the times trends, with all the new, clean, liberal and Intelligent hopes and conceptions." In further writ-ng hi accredited clear thinking as having given him the belief that there is no hell or heaven Continuing, this college "sage" condemns those who fear hell as idiots The conclusion, rather hazy, reads: "I might say that although a person may not be a good Christian if he denies there is a hell, if he says there is one, he is not a man." Now, I am not against him for his beliefs. We can not absolutely govern his mode of thought.

Nor will I make any attempts to correct his convictionsthey are inconsequential, immaterial, and irrelevant. Fortunately, ours is a community of intellectual people who are proof against such immature croakings. I do question his statement: that we, 'the rising men in the American colleges of today-youth share his opinions. too, am a student of the local university, but he DOES NOT represent my ideals, feelings or standards, and for that matter any or my colleagues whom I know. Then by what self-assumed authority does he claim so? Furthermore what knowledge or proof, either by statistics or reason, can he offer to verify his statement, the novelists, the playwriters the times the trends all the new, clean, liberal and intelligent hopes and conceptions," that all these agreed with his belief that those believing in heaven or hell are "gibbering idiots?" Such persons desirous of publishing tneir opinions, emotions, convictions, or oppositions, should, unless otherwise capable of proving themselves, confine their statements to their own thinking, and not assume to represent those whose thoughts they do not know, or even have any communication with.
