By ED HOWE T HERE are actually a good many sensible featurei tn the present Soviet government la Russia. The Idea that no public official should, re ceive more than $15Q a month Is sound; so Is the habit of promptly pun ishing officials when they are dishon est or negligent ... But the de termination to live by Communist prin ciples will wreck Sovietism. Com munism Is so palpably weak in so noSny respects it cannot succeed. The objection to the teaching of Karl Marx is it will not fit human needs. The Poor man la pnUtleA tn jnstice; bnt SO is the man who refuses to remain poor. And In the human experiment there has never been found a tribe of men wherein the majority were willing to remain ^tn perpetual poverty. Nature provided means for all to become well- to-do, and the better specimens of men will not consent to forever remaining uncomfortable when comfort abounds and may be easily attained by not un reasonable effort I may not be here to see the end of the Russian experi ment, but let younger men remember the prediction that Communism must be given up there. Like whisky, it is a fool; it will not stand practical trial. • • • Negroes are very disagreeable In bothering whites for gifts. I have spent the present winter in an apart ment house in Miami, Fla., and have found everything satisfactory except my failure to satisfy the negro serv- ■o much annoyed that he will not let a negro maid come In; he does his own cleaning up, and I often go over to enjoy bis indignation. I have been submission, but admire a Many Leaders Shot Down and Others Arrested. Berlin, Germany.—Chancellor Adojf Hitler has encountered bis first major Internal crisis and -has emerged vic torious, with the leaders of his oppo nents dead or imprisoned. Informed some time ago of a conspiracy within the National Socialist payty, led by the more radical elements, the channel- .lor struck swiftly Just before the hour of the contemplated coup d*etat. Flying from this city to Munich, Hit ler personally arrested Capt Ernst Roehm, chief df the Storm Troopers and for years his . close personal friend. Roehm was given a chance to commit suicide but refused, where upon he was executed summarily by order of Hitler. Viktor Lutze was made chief of staff to succeed Rdehm. Several of Roehm’s companions, taken at his house, also were swiftly ex ecuted. * . ^ / Meanwhile the police and the Schtjtz Staffel, Hitler's personal guard, under the direction of Gen. Hermann Goerlng, premier of Prussia, made raids throughout the country. Former Chancellor Kurt von Schleich er, head of the conspiracy was one of the first taken. He resist ed arrest and both he and his wife were shot to death by police. Vice Chancellor Franz von Papen was vir tually placed under detention, under a heavy guard, and two of his adjutants committed suicide. Other leaders In the plot for a “second revolution’* were killed by the police, and large numbers were arrested. The reichs- wehr, or regular army, was declared to be unswervingly loyal to Hitler, anc It seemed that the chancellor’s dramat ic and ruthless action In smashing the Incipient revolution had captured the Imagination of the people generally. The Storm Troops already had been ordered trrtake a ffiontu * ~¥5^ai>w>» “Irish Sweeps” Easily Greatest of Lotteries De Valera’s controversies with Eng- isnd may be fateful for Ireland, but !h them is nothing com- wlth the great national lot tery, the Irish hospital sweepstakes. Such is the contention of John J. McCarthy in an article, "The Irish Sweeps,” IB Harper’s Magazine. "From the standpoint of national prestige,” declares the author, “the Sweeps today overshadow politics and Guinness, for generations ttm major Industries of Ireland. Ever/ man ‘of substance’—as the Irish dub their smart business man—is usual ly a commissioned Sweeps agent on V the side. Every Irishman, rich and poor alike, Is a self-appointed, volun tary tlweeps agent, forwarding ticket books to kin overseas and following through /m the collections. “No other lottery can boast of any such voluntary and Inexpensive world-wide sales service. It may ex plain, too, why tbe Irish Sweeps In the short span of four years have completely eclipsed, so far as the sale of tjckets IS concerned, the fa mous Calcutta sweepstakes, . the Canadian War Veterans, and other privately conducted lotteries. Even compared to the governmental lot teries In France and Russia, the Irish Sweeps ticket sales are greater.” i Now! Prices Genuine Baler Aspirin man brave enough to rebel In a good cause. . . . Tbe poor whites are as bad as the negroep In begging. About tbe only real vigor shown in the Unit ed States during the past winter has been displayed in begging campaigns. Everyone is apt to be a little preju diced when discussing his own case., and it really seems to me I do my share in proiter giving, but the Ameri can system of begging seems to me disgraceful. Much of It is racketeer ing; the selfish business of boss beg gars who hide behind the scenes and browbeat timid citizens Into engaging In charity campaigns they do not themselves believe in. Ask any Amer ican what he Is most disgusted with, and he will probably tell you it la com mittee begging. The smart French do none of It; the Germans and English very little. It is an American weak ness 7 one of many we all dlsapprova of, but do not quit. Instead of quit ting. the nuisance Is becoming worso every day; leaders in It are trained as others are trained to become stenog raphers, doctors, lawyers, machinists, to pull teeth, and receive large in comes from the dishonest bus! uettL ■ " 1 • • S' • I’' There is more than the usual com plaint lately about big business men. A new charge is they do not manage their wives and children with reason able efficiency. ... No American does; specially foolish women and chil dren are as common among the poor as among the well-to-do. Tbe manner in which American women muss up their men has been tbe wonder of for eigners since the foundation of the re public ; Americana no more assert themselves in their homes than they do in politics.
