Cook Has Fed Condemned Murderers for 14 Years Kew Orleans.--Twenty-five men who partook of Steve Elliot's cooking never lived to tell the tale. They were men condemned to death at parish prison, where Elliot was cook. He served breakfast to condemned men for 14 years, and just recently was promoted to the wardershlp of the attorney's room at the prison. Elliot said good food always helped the men who were scheduled to die. "It bucked up their courage and made them walk to the gallows with firmer step." he said. Asked about the most unusual break* fast for a condemned man, Elliot recounted the following tale: "Um, now, let's see." he said. "Yes, there was a negro who popped a hard one on us at the last moment We always tried to satisfy, you know. He wanted 'possum and 'possum he got We didn't know where it was to be had, but some kind citizen sent one to us. You should have seen that negro eat! "He went upstairs to his death with a grin, wiping his mouth, happy that his appetite was satisfied." Condemned men were, given more consideration than other prisoners, Elliot said. "For Instance, If they wanted to eat between meals they only had to say what they wanted. Sometimes It was a sandwich, flapjacks, milk, or toast Most of them liked fried chicken and ice cream for their last meal." Elliot said hi« wife taught him how to cook. VEST McHENRY ILLINOIS Dr. C.

Organized efforts to transform the relations between capital and labor are i/ot making the headway that proponents of the New Deal anticipated. Actuated by the best of motives the agitators, oft MS&e reforms in our social and ecnomic systems occasionally find themselves butting their heads against the stonewall of age-old prejudices and habits. Admittedly the first steps have been successful but the realignment of classes is far from the desired results. As a consequence of these delays, the millions who were led to believe that the National Recovery Act would usher a new era of prosperity are begiftning to wonder whether the current plans are likely to be permanent fixtures or merely' transitory schemes which will not out live the depression. Employers, in particular, are in this Trams of mind,' which accounts for their unwillingness to recognize the potency of the NRA. It is a relatively easy matte* to have congress bestow lavish power on a governmental agency and then proclaim a dogma for the subjects. It is vastly different when attempt is made to translate the principles so defined into practical measures'.' It is claimed that many of the policies proclaimed by General Johnson and his economists and statisticians may be ideal but never materialize more than, loyer's dreams. It ia an inescapable condition which may furnish the answer for the failure of General Johnson's prophecy that millions would be reemployed by Labor Day. There has been considerable criticism and resentment leveled at the Administrator's rough-shod methods. Noise and fist-thumping scare onljr a timid few. Johnson has found that no amount of propaganda can force industrialists to abjectly surrender their constitutional rights. While the public has always been fed news of NRA victories little nas been said of the reverses. It is well known that the firey Administrator has been obliged to engage in horse-trading with groups when they bluntly refused to swallow the pills he prepared for them. When you consider these factors, you will have a fair picture of recovery probleips of the day. John Barleycorn, as ttquor has beeji dubbed for centurnes, is providing another problem for the Federal government. With repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment a foregone conclusion, the question of regulating the sale of intoxicating beverages in the various states is an important one. The system of distribution through established agencies is more of a puzzle to the states than Uncle Sam. Yet the national government has a vital f interest in revenue from the sale of strong liquors. Unless there is adequate administrative machinery set m motion the public reaction, subtly manipulated, could restore prohibition sentiment. The Treasury Department and the Department of Justice are at work on numerous plans. The proponents of repeal are confident that the thirtysixth state to ratify repeal will complete its labors before Christmas. Special sessions of state legislatures will undoubtedly be necessary to draft enforcement laws. The indifference or open hostility of government officials toward Senators and Representatives which occasionally flares in the open may not be climaxed until January. One legislator completely ignored by a powerful bureaucrat had the satisfartion of personally handing his opponent a. Fr£S.idential order directing certain policies, i Otner lfiw-makers, smarting under th$ treatment, ar£ "'.Mining to reach their foes through reduced appropriations which will either eliminate them or curtail their activities. It is true that many of these snubbers are only working in the emergency and care nothing for Congressional influence. The rank and file of newcomers will soon discover that nothing short of a miracle can divorce politics from government management. Revival of inflationists demands has undoubtedly contributed to the loosening of government purse-strings. Industry has pleaded and demanded for easier credit terms in order to meet the increased payroll costs under the (terms of Recovery codes. Md action *?&s taken by the Treasury Department to ease the situation. Apparently under orders from the President, the Reconstruction Finan«£ Corporation is preparing to lotui banks and trust companies & Million dollars.

London.--The next war will take aS many weeks as the last war took years and civilization, will be blotted out That is the picture Gen. Sir Ian Hamilton, m famous British military leader and chief of the British legion, drew in a. speech , to the British veterans of the World war. t "As you, being soldiers, probably know," he reminded them, "I made-- first after the South African war and next after the Manchurian war-- Some pretty good shots about the World war and foreshadowed big guns, trench warfare, tanks, and the disappearance from European battlefields Of shock cavalry. . "So now, " he said, "I hope to gain your credence for my forecast of the course of the next war which won't b^. long in coming if the disarmament conference breaks down. - • "The war will be over in as many weeks as your war took years. The huge masses of infantry on either side will never get into contact. "The whole of the mechanized motor- driven forces of either side will meet at once under the sea, In the air, and on the land. „ ; "Each will be, must be, rushihg forward to seize an advanced base for their airdromes and oil depots on enemy soil. That first encounter will almost certainly decide the war. The victorious tanks and airplanes will eat up the hostile infantry and artillery as, half-^dozen heavily armored knights of the wars of the Jacquerie could and did eat up a thousand armed, but ttnarmored, peasants. "Then they will begin to lap up the civilian population as a cat laps np cream, apd perhaps the worst of all these devils will be the civilian plane laden with chemicals. "Now, you watch this disarmament conference. If any nation, your own or any other, begins to haw and hum and make excuses to obviate inspection and control by the League of Nations for its civil aviation--then we are 'for war.' "No nation is going to talk economics whilst death, for all It knows, Is hanging over it behind the curtain of the clouds. Unless ; this concrete act „ls taken by the disarmament conference before it breaks up no amount of slip-slop idealist^ is likely to save the world." Subscribe for The Plaindealer.
