and Patriotism."
Local Rotarians. had the pleasure \
of hearing a speech, "Patriotism, and j
Politics," by Hon. George W. Burke, i
Ann Arbor attorney, at the regular i
weekly meeting Thursday noon. Mr. r
Burke'a talk went as follows: I

Patriotism is'defined as "Love oi \
one's Country."   Politics "the science j
and art of governxaent;" the' science i
dealing with the oganization, jtegula- |
tion and administration of a state fa i
both its internal   and   external af- !
fairs."    In times, such as'the pres- j
ent, I am certain it is the wish of the !
vast majority of our people that in
political  matters,. patriotism  rather
than personal vanity or party preference should control the actions of our
public servants.
Most of. those in charge of "the affairs of government in this country,
I believe, are honest people-of .good
intentions. Unfortunately, however,
there has grown up a system of partisan political out-look upon ques-
rtions which are purely- economic" so
that we • are deprived of the opportunity to have their best judgment
and best efforts. ' -,'t    j
■ With millions of unemployed" walking our streets and highways,-swith
the farmers of the country desperately striving to make enough to pay
taxes, with manufacturing plants
closed for want of something to do,
with merchants faced daily with
bankruptcy, and'with the whole general situation showing no immediate '
prospect of betterment, the people of
this country are apt to be rather impatient of any show of partisan political maneuvering, and will insist
that no time be.wasted in an effort
to push party ahead of country.
Mr. Hoover has an extremely difficult job. He deserves the support of
the entire country upon any plan,
program or course of action that may
help to relieve us from our present
intolerable situation. It is unfortunate, of course, that so long a period
of time has elapsed with apparently
no particularly'definite or intelligent
program for consideration. *
It may, perhaps, not be particularly patriotic to' make the obesrvauon
that from "the great minds in charge
! of the affairs of this country'' there
: seems to be a rather noticeable lack

many of them* are wasting the time
for which we pay them and creating
more confusion in our already greatly confused affairs by discussing partisan issues,' claiming praise for their
particular side and heaping criticism
upon opponents.   This observation-is
made wholly without reference to one
party or the other.    The people of
this country have   become sick   and
tired of this partisan political strife.
Every    energy    of   the    government
should be directed toward remedying
the    present    wholly   unsatisfactory
conditions and* those efforts   should
receive the support of our representatives regardless of party affiliations.
We live, of course, ln a Democracy
where   tbe  exercise  of  the  right  of
freedom of thought and freedom of
speech is a cherished right and privilege,   but. scrambled • thought   anu
loose speech simply for the sake of
i making sound affords no great ccn-

I united   efforts   should   be * directed j
j toward tbe important tusk of balanc- j
I ing   our National  budget.    Entirely I
? too much time is being wasted in an .
effort to fix the responsibility for our •
national hardships on the one hand •_
and    too much   time  is also   being !
wasted in an effort to explain wnx.
the times are bard.    Just now most ■•
of us who are not in office, or run- ■
ning for office, are   more concerned j1
with   a   remedy   for   the   situation. j
Later, if it becomes important, we '
! can determine the questions of blame ;
' or credit.   To be brutally frank abouir ■
" the matter we are very much more
interested at this momnt in. real lead-
! er-h'p than we are in party advancement.
We have seen our government ex-
ditures, pur state expenses and even
our local obligations increasing from
year to year. It is very easy, especially in times of prosperity, to establish new boards, new commissions, new jobs, new bureaus and new
assortments of' positions of every
character. Thev all require money,
and while it is simple to get them in-
.to existence it is not so easy to. Dispense with them. At the present
moment, when members of Congress ;
are attempting to devise ways . and
means of cutting expenses they are
receiving no particular help or en- -
couragement whatever from, the department heads in Washington. Each
department insists that its department must not be cut, and-each apparently is insisting that the welfare
of the entire country depends upon
the continued operation' of that particular, department.
Governmental   expenses   have  in- J

The most intimate crook story ever

who come to the school auditorium
tonight(( May 5), wher-j Universal s

"Outside the Law" will be shown.
"'Tb"? story-revolves around the robbery of a metropolian bank by a
crafty cracksman and the complications* resulting in his refusal to splii
50-50 with a gang leader. The action
moves swiftly and builds up to one ot
the most dramatic climaxes ever
brought to the screen.
"Universal has selected a superb
cast to portray "the characters in the
story. Mary Nolan, ever a splendid
emotional actress, is said to give h-v
most finished performance in "<Jui-
side the Law" as the accomplice of
the crook, Fingers, played by Ow**i*
Moore. Edward G. Robinson, as ths

Although the plot deals principal!-/

Crop Price Broadened
By Harvester Company
Big Grain   Prices  Now  Guaranteed
on MeCormick-Deering Tractor
Operated Machines?.
In response to popular demand the
International Harvester Company
has broadened its crop price guaranty offer, recently announced, to include besides tractors and combines
every MeCormick-Deering maehir"*
operated through a tractor hitch,
power take-off, or tractor belt pulley.
The importance of this action- will be
more fully realized when it is understood -that tractors and power machines make up the major portion of
the company's implement business*.
The broadening of the plan to covsr
all tractor-operated" machines makes
it possible for a great many more
farmers to take advantagH ol" it.
Farmers already equipped with tractors and desiring to secure additional
tractor-operated equipment for more
economical crop production now have
the opportunity of buying this needed equipment on the favorable terms
of the crop price guaranty.
The guaranteed prices, are 70 cents
a bushel, Chicago, for No. 2 hard
wheat; 50c for No. 2 yellow corn.
