This Curious World
TRUST IN OUR LEADERS
SHOULD BE RESTORED
When the nation again returns
to what passes for normal, after the
excitement of the campaign,
might spend a little time repairing
some of its shattered faiths and lojr
•titles.
In some ways the most expensive
thing about the last few years has
been not the money that has gone
down the sink, but the dismaying
•mount of bitter and unceasing
•Briticism of men and Institutions in
Which Americans had always pre-
viously placed confidence.
The campaign only brought this
to a head. Some of it grew out of
the depression and some of it was
s hangover from the campaign of
1932. But wherever it came from
and however it was motivated, the
net result cannot be anything but
very bad for us.
For example: any great nation
of today is bound to look for a good
part of Its leadership to the men
who condrol its financial institutions.
As modern society is organized, it
cannot do anything else. And how
stands our confidence in bankers,
these days?
u • • «
For years we have heard them de-
nounced up, down, and crosswise as
“money changers,” as men who need
watching, as people who blindly led
us into a ditch and made us wait
there, helpless, until the government
hauled us out.
Perhaps, then, our intellectuals
am in better case. Not at all. Save
not we heard “brain trusters” ex-
coriated as vain and erratic theo-
reticians, untrustworthy beyond be-
lief and so impractical and child-
like that it actually has been a mark
against the administration that it
took counsel with them? Where, oh,
where is our old respect for college
professors?
How, then, about political lead-
ers? Surely they do not share the
unspeakable defects of bankers and
professors? Alas, they are still worse.
We have been assured over and
over again that the bureaucrat Is
the worst of all public enemies; that
politics is unworthy of our faith
and that no political promise, no
campaign summons to a cause, de-
serves the slightest trust.
Well, may we fall back on our
leaders of business and industry? A
hundred voices declare that they
are pitiless and crafty exponents
of “economic royalism," prepared
to grind our faces in the dirt if we
give them a chance. For years the
gky has fairly rung with denun-
ciations of them.

GEORGE GORDON, Lord Byron, passed his childhood in pov-
erty, but came into a title and wealth in early youth The publi-
cation of his Childe Harold made him a famous poet, and he be-
came a social lion almost overnight. In spite of his extravagant
living and unwise love affairs, he kept up his writing until an un-
timely death in his thirty-sixth year

group or an institution, of the sort
to which we ordinarily look for
leadership, that has not been under
the most bitter attack for months
and years.
If we believed half that we have
been told, we can only assume that
we are lost souls and that there is
no hope for the republic.
With the campaign out of the
way, we may be able to get back to
sane viewpoint on these matters,
is highly important that we do
so.
If we don’t, we simply are paving
the way for some unscrupulous, self-
seeking demagog to come in and put
the fetters on our wrists.

wounds. At the General hospital
they were identified as Calia, Paul
Wingate, 27, and Paul Spana, 26.
Calia died four hours after being
admitted. The fatal wound was
from a bullet through a lung. Win-
gate was shot in the neck and
Spana received a slug in his right
shoulder.
Brown told police the youths came
to his office last Friday night and
demanded that he pay them $2,000
and put them on his company's
payroll. They threaten?d to kill him
if he refused.
Brown pleaded for time, saying
that he couldn’t raise $2,000 until
Sunday. The youths came back at
noon today and repeated their de-
mands. Brown asked another three
hours time.
When the youths came again,
Flavin and Clifford were hiding in
the office. The policemen called up-
on the youths to raise their hands.
Instead, they whirled toward the
door.
Both officers emptied their re-
volvers at the youthls, dropping
them before they could reach the
sidewalk.

AUSTIN, Nov. 18 — Roy Miller,
state campaign director, said Sun-
day six Texas counties contributed
more than half the approximate
$275,000 raised by the state Demo-
cratic organization for the Roose-
velt-Garner campaign.
Pre-election contributions of Dal-
las, Tarrant, Harris, Bexar, Nueces
and Travis counties totaled $150,531,
but contributions made directly to
national headquarters and not yet
recorded at state headquarters will
Increase the six-county total, he
said.
Miller said many smaller coun-
ties exceeded their quotas and mon-
ey has begun to roll in again in the
wake of a new drive for $50,000 to
help wipe out the half million dollar
deficit of the national committee.

the past fortnight and affecting
more than 3,000,000 persons — will
provide a stimulation that has been
lacking from the market for seven
or eight years.
Luxury goods are being sought.
“The fellow who was sa|tisf]ied
with necessities last year expects
to buy a few luxuries this year,”
Leonard Sprangenberg, managing
editor of Babson’s reported.
Motor car companies already are
feeling the effects. The New York
automobile show found salesmen
rapidly filling their order books
as customers thronged the show-
room to see the new models.
The preparations for this expect-
ed enormous Christmas trade al-
ready are being felt in wholesale
markets. Shipments are tardy as
efforts are being made to rush pro-
duction. An official of a leading
merchandising company said de-
liveries of cotton goods are eight to
12 weeks late compared with three
to four weeks a year ago, and furni-
ture and household furnishings are
more than a month behind as com-
pared with Immediate delivery at
this time last year. Factories manu-
facturing fashion items are running
two weeks to two months behind,
this official said.
