Thanks to ' their underground connections in Philadelphia the edi tors of Trumpeter are able t publish the following excerpts from one of the most revealing documects of modern times, a proposed Demo cratic platform to be announced in Philadelphia. Here at last is a plat­ form the Democrats can and prob­ ably will follow. Startled readers will observe the apparent likeness of this pronouncement to the 1932 Democratic platform: Let them peruse each sentence carefully, and they-will further observe, to. their increasing astonishment, that here the New Dealers are putting into words exactly what they mean. There may be an editorial error somewhere; Trumpeter himself is at a loss to explain why the New Deal ers should so plainly come into the open. I. We the Democrats of the Unit ed States in Convention assembled in the city of Philadelphia hereby adopt as our national platform the following declaration of principles, purposes and beliefs: II. We believe that a party plat­ form is in no sense a covenant with the people to be faithfully kept by the party when intrusted with pow er, and that although the people are entitled to know the terms of the contract to which they are asked to subscribe, we feel that it is in no sense.binding upon us; ...

Davie county, next door neighbor to Davidson, probably set some sort of a record in the Democratic pri mary of june 6 when more than half those participating in the statewide primary appeared to be interested only in the candidates for governor According to a study made by The News and Observer from official re-, turns available in Raleigh, fifty- three per cent of those who voted for governor did not even vote for United States Senator. Many other counties had marked contrasts, while on the other hand, a large number of counties showed very- small difference in the totals for governor, senator and others on the state ticket —The Dispatch. Dividing The Wealth* Muclihas bsen heard about divi­ sion of wealth in this country, and yet few know exactly what it means If Andrew Mellon’s fortune, esti­ mated at $190,000,000, were divided equally among the people of the United States, it would mean ex­ actly 75 cents for each one of us in the country. Divide J. P. Morgan’s wealth, and it would mean 40 cents for tach per­ son. Chop up Henry Ford’s factori­ es and mines, and the result would be $4 in each individual pocket. Take Publisher Hearst's millions and split them, and it would mean $i 60 each, while the divided wealth of John D. Rockefeller might yield a like a- mount per person.

C 1—To W att Gregg, mayor of JBoone,' went the award foretelling the tallest fish tale at the banquet to participants of the Elk: river trout derby. H ere’s the yarn that romped home the winner in a fast field as told by the mayor in the role- of toastedmaster: " A lady from W atauga came to a hospital to give birth to a child. After the baby was born she asked the doctor to. weigh it. The baby weighed eight pounds. ■ She stay­ ed in the hospital two weeks more and wanted to have the child weighed again so she might see .what improvement had been made ‘■The hospital scales were brok ; Edgar Tnfts of Lees McRae college had a pair which he used to weigh fish. They took the baby to his office and put it on the scales. •Tufts adjusted his glasses, looked at the hands of the scales and an- nounced that.the baby weighed 64 pounds.” How IYewanta Named* Many euriousjstories are told about how places got their names none more odd than a post office in Lincoln county. West Virginia ^Inhabitants made the usual petition for mail ser­ vice and after determining to grant the request it is said that the Post O f f i c e D epartm ent asked w hat the office should be called.

Divine Methods. Sometimes some people’s faith in God and His mercies is-shaken be­ cause-their prayers are hot answered in what they think in is due time. They have been taught to pray and have had the power of prayer taught to them, and they feel that their prayers were offered in all sincerity and faith and that they are wortny and.that their prayers were justified, Of course there are many who do not let these disappointments lessen their trust in God. They resign their own will to their bel'ef that He knows best and that He will do what is right by them. No doubt some will read this who have been praying for some specific blessing, and. not having received it. although their prayers have been of­ fered over a seemingly long period of time, are beginning to be a' little provoked with the Lord’s methods. We admit that we have exper­ ienced that feeling ourselves to some extent; so, to try to help those who may be undergoing similar experi­ ences. we pass a quotation from Ty- ron Edwards which may, contain a degree of comfort and strength to the wavering. Itis this, “ Never think that God’s delays are God’s denials. True pray­ er always receives what it asks, or something better.”—Statesville Re­ cord: , ' - -Bear Holds Up Train,- Banners Elk.—Ole Br’er Bear and Old Bldck and Dusty disputed the right of way on a narro w guage railway near here and it took some high powered tooting to convince Bruin that be was trespassing. T - Around a bend panted t*ie little locomotive and .there stood a big, black mountain bear making : him: self at home on railroad property. The engineer almost literally sat on the whistle'but the pieTcing scream failed to spur ole Br’er B ear.. “ He just sat there’’ and looked. The engineer, in no mood for bear steak on his cowcatcher, reached for his brake lever. Then the bear got frisky and looped down the: track to pace the excursion , party for several hundred feet. A . sigh of- relief went up - when be suddenly disappeared in them tfaar hills. The government dole or handout is the ruination of the ordinary American-citizen and . if th e th irg keeps up there is no telling where it is going to end. Right now it is dif- ficult to get any of these parasites to do an honest day’s work. Many of them., have.-already made up their minds that they will ’ work no more and that Roosevelt and his Adminis ation will feed them. The “relief” program has rrar’e idlers, loafers and what not of' mar.y, of our would-be respectable citizens. And if Roosevelfis re elect d to office rhe thing will grow, worse every year. We were reminded of this sad state tf affairs a few days ago in a copy­ righted article, by Dorothy Dix, the well known woman writer of New Orleans. A wife, disgusted with the way her husband was planning to live in the future write the. following inquiring letter to Miss D!x: Dear Miss D ixi-W e have been married-about five years and during that time my husband has had a good salary. . We have had what we need­ ed to make us camfortabie, but I have not.been extravagant and have saved about $1,500, “Now my husband wants ts spend everything we make. He says it is foolish to save anything because if he gets out of a position he can go on relief, and when we are old we will have the old-age pension. He also thinks that before long every one will be getting a pension from the government. I cannot see things tjiat-way. V-J belong to a family, of se iy ^ ’indepenaent and put aside som ethingfortheir old age. - I... feel that I could not bear.to' take;charily. My husband’s two brothers are on relief. One is a paperhanger. who will not work any more and his par­ ents are going to get the old-age pen­ sion.; Mv husband is spending his money now for things he. never bought before.. Please tell me what to do. A WIFE' And here is the answer of this talented writer: "Perhaps-you can. stiffen your husband’s sp:ne by making him un­ derstand what, a contempt you have for an able-bodied man who is willing to become a parasite upon others in­ stead of standingon bis own feet and makinghis own living Mv obser­ vation has been that once-a beggar always a beggar; that as soon, as man or woman find cut how much easier it is to ask for bread than it is to make it, he or she is done with baking .forever... “The great tragedy of the depres sion has been that it has broken down the thing of which we had. the most right to boast—the spirit of Ameri­ can independence and self-reliance. Every man and woman of us stood alone, depending on nobody, kowtow­ ing to nobody. If life was hard, we had the grit to stand it. We had our strength, o u r courage, our manhood and wOmainbdod. That - made ns. equal to any situation.;. We asked help of none.- We were-the archi­ tects of our own fate.' We carved out out our own fortunes. We had our-pride and our. self-respect, that weredearer than life itself to us. "Once, when I -was. a newspaper reporter, I wrote the pathetic story of two .gentlewomen - who were ac­ cused of murder because they had let a young girl; the. adored .daugh­ ter of dne and a niece of'the other,' die of starvation, rather ; than ask for help from friends who would gladly have given it.: These women once wealthy, were living in a garret sleeping on piles of . newspapers and were famished for food, but tbty would rather starve than beg. Al d I c|in remember when one -hesitate d to offer a tip to §ny man who was not a waiter or a porter-for fear of in­ sulting him "But that spirit seems all gone, now. Dole money scorches the fin gera of some who have, been forced by necessity to take relief; but for the mo8t-it is easy money and every body grabs for it. Their morale has bron broken down Their shame of.'. dependence has gone. And they will' never work again. ' . . “But in the millennium for whichv your husband and thousands like' him are looking when nobody- w ill. work and the government will .pro-'-; vide every one with bouses and food, , clothes and cars and radios, where will the money come from? Nothing ; will be produced, not even food and: cars and gasoline, so'perhaps things won’t be so gay after all. “ Certainlv'it is a strange aiid - a 7 oathetic thing to see a whole, nation of once intelligent and strong ajrjd sturdy people goirg back to believing in Santa Claus.” ' T- ..

If we could answer this question, we could pay all our debts and retire frotn the newspaper business. in It Is said that a number of Repub. Iicans in Davie voted for Hoes the recent primary. We don’t think the Republicans should vote in a democratic primary without it is their intention to vote for the demo­ cratic nominee in the general elec tion. We may be wrong but some­ body will have to show us. Clyde Hoey is the teacher of a large Sunday school class in the Shelby Methodist church Should Clyde be nominated and elected governor, this class would be minus a teacher. Perhaps the democrats will decide to let Clyde continue as teacher instead of moving to Ra­ leigh. __________ The Record wouldn’t stoop low enough to call Jim Farlev1 head of the democratic party and wet Catho­ lic,-a prevaricator, but when Jim declared over the radio one night last week that Roosevelt would carry 48 states in November, we couldn’t help but think how the mighty have fallen, and what liars we mortals be. Just listen to what Clyde Hoey,. democratic candidate for governor, said about Al Smith, one time demo­ cratic nominee for president: ‘‘Al Smith has the daring and courage of Andrew Jackson, the honesty and integrity of Grover Cleveland, the capacity for leadership and practical idealism of Woodrow Wilson. The majority of Catholics are democrats. Woodrow Wilson could, not have been elected without Catholic votes and they have voted for Protestants for generations. Don’t you think it is about time to vote for a Catho­ lic?” And this is the man who wants dry democrats to nominate him for governor. Senator Walks Out of Convention. Philadelphia, June 24.—An as­ sertion that he was ‘‘through” with the Democratic national convention and ‘ ‘sick of the whole damn thing” was voiced angrily tonight by Sena tor Ellison D. Smith of South Caro­ lina after be had walked out of the political conclave in protest against the presence of Negroes While a Negro minister—the Rer S Marshall Sheppard, pastor of Phila­ delphia’s Mt. Olivet Baptist Church - was opening the afternoon session with prayer, Senator Smith, follow ed by a' few other South Carolina delegates, left the convention ball. Officials said that was the first time prayer had been -offered at- a Democratic convention by a Negro. It was followed immediately by the playing of “ Dixie:” Explaining that he had departed because of the presence of the Negro clergyman and, of about 30 Negro delegates. Smith asserted be was “ going home” and would “do some talking.” Hail Does Damage. A heavy rain and hail storm visit ed the County Line: section of Davie and Iredell county about 5:30 o’clock Wednesday morning and did considerable damage to cotton and other crops. The ground was cov­ ered with hail stones J A. Stroud who lives near Society Baptist church, says a part of bis cotton was damaged by the hail. The hail ex­ tended through a part of Calahaln township, and much damage was done to growing crops between Joppa graveyard and Holman’s X /roads. It is reported on reliable authority that sno w, fell in Mocks ville Tuesday night.

Floyd Swisher Shoots Self. FIoyd Swisher. 46. of near Sheffield, is a pitient at Davis Hospital. Statesville, where he is lingering between life and death as as result of a self inflicted gun­ shot wound. Swisher took bis gun and went to his barn lot about 5 o’clock Fri­ day morning, put the end of the muzzle in his mouth and pulled the trigger. The load of shot tore the left side of his face away, breaking both upper and lower jaw bones. Medical aid was summoned short­ ly after the shooting, and he was carried to the hospital. Swisher had been in bad health for the past two months and had threatened to take his iife. A sister, Mrsl Roxie Parker, committed suicide in April, 1922, by shooting herself, and another sister. Miss Sallie Swisher, used the same gun that Fioyd used last week to kill her­ self in July, 1929. All three of this fami­ ly have shot themselves through the head. Swisher has a wife and one child.

Due to tbe unfavorable seasons caused by the dry weather, many of the farmers of the state have lost some of their legume crops such as lespedeza, especially where it was sown late in tbe spring, and a good many of the other legume crops have not been planted due to the unusual weather conditions. .Tbesecrops are necessary in order to quality for the soil conserving payment under the Soil Conservation Program. We would like to stress to every grower the importance of Beeaing, before it is too late, a sufficient acre­ age of conserving crops in order to qualify for the soil conserving pay­ ment and as large a soil building payment as possible. In this state we are allowed, for the year 1936. to use soybeans and cowpeas as conserving crops even though the hay is cut. This is a very liberal interpretation of conserving crops. Realizing that legume seed is scarce: if peas or beans are planted in 2£ to 3 feet rows and cultivated once or twice, you will gradually make as much bay as if the peas or beans are sown broadcast, This will certainly make the seed go further and will enable the grower to re­ ceive his payments under the Soil Conservation Program. The question frequently arises as to whether sorghum or Sudan grass sown with peas or beans for hay is soil conserving.

I woke to tind larriden in my room, sitting stolidly there confronting me with an air of grim scrutiny. I sat up quickly, pulling down my rumpled gray frock and brushing my hair out of my eyes, staring at him with something very much like fright. Behind him the door was closed. "You needn’t try to run,” he told me, and I flung back, “Why should I run What do you want, Mr. Harriden ?” “I want to know what you know about all this,” he growled at me. “You’re in with Deck. I want to know what all that row was about—that row With Elkins—” His voice fumbled so at the words that I felt a pang of pity for him in spite of all my other feeling. “I never saw Alan Deck until I came here,” I said and spoke as quietly and gently as I could. “I don’t know any­ thing about his affairs." "That's your story, and you can stick to it before the others. But I want the facts, and I'm prepared to pay for !them. And I’ll let you off—I'll let you off whatever trouble those stones have got you In for, if you’ll tell me every­ thing you know.” "I know nothing.” “You know why you went up to my Wife’s room last night. You had some reason—even if you saw her slapped you wouldn’t go In like that—” His eyes, grimly skeptical, looked me through and through. “You can't pull any wool over my eyes. You were meeting Deck before dinner. I want to know what he and .—what he was threatening my wife About. He wanted money from her— [wasn’t that it? If you never met him !before, as you say, he's interested !enough in you now to tell you. Your own safety and a good substantial sum .of money ought to make you see the light * “I'll give you live thousand—five thousand for a few words. Only no faking. I want the truth." “You are utterly mistaken in me, Mr. Harriden," I said steadily. “I wouldn't sell Information if I had it . . I know nothing at all of Alan Deck and his secrets." Some one knocked. I called, “Come In," and the door opened. There stood Alan Deck. At sight of Harriden he stiffened, ’then, with assumed naturalness to me, “About those pictures—" Harriden got to his feet; his eyes flickered from Deck back to me with a malevolent sort of satisfaction. “Well—is it yes?" he said harshly, his look holding mine. “It’s no, Mr. Harriden." Without another word to me, with­ out a glance toward Deck, he marched •past him, out the door. I burst out, “Oh, why did you come?” to Deck. His gaze that had followed Harriden to the door flashed back to me. “What was Dan doing here?” “Trying to buy me,” I said. “Offer­ ing me five thousand dollars to find out Mary Hastings Bradley Copyright by D. Appleton- Century Co., Inc,JYNU Service gown—I want to hold you in my arms, to soft music, you understand—" And then he dropped into a chair— the deep cushioned chair beside the lit­ tle white one I was sitting in—and said coaxingly, “Talk to me, Leila. Tell me about your picture puzzles and the fakes and the millionaires you rescue. The pre-depression millionaires. Tell me all the stories of your young art life.” Nothing that we said mattered; it was all about paintings and artists and people and plays. The telephone broke In on it. Monty Mitchell’s voice told me to come down at once. We both went down, I expecting heaven-knows-what of revelation but finding only that Mitchell wanted my report on the hair ornament. I murmured that he had said I was barking up the wrong tree, but I scur­ ried back upstairs, and this time I got the crescent with no delay for Miss Van Alstyn was in her room and pro­ duced the gewgaw from her jewel box. “Is there something special about it?” she murmured, and I said lamely enough that I wanted to study the stones. I might as well have studied Plymouth Rock, for there was no blood to be found on them. If there ever had been any, she’d had all the time In the world to wash it off. . . . I gave it back to her and went downstairs again, finding Mitchell and Deck deep in talk. “I found it. Nothing,” I reported shortly to Mitchell. He merely nodded, then said ear­ nestly, “I am telling Deck this ‘I don’t remember’ stuff won’t wash with a cor­ oner’s jury.” Deck’s eyes, brilliant and haggard, played with him. “What do you sug­ gest I say?" Monte was ready. As I dropped down on the end of the couch beside him, he offered, low-toned, “Suppose Nora was jealous of Dan and Letty and threat­ ened to raise the roof about them, and you warned her not to. What?" “Got a cigarette?” said Deck. “Mine are all gone.” He put the case be had taken out back In his pocket rather slowly. Casually he mentioned, “What about the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?” The lawyer did not bat an eyelash. Isn’t that the truth—now that your head has cleared?" “Why drag in Letty?” “Why not? You’ll have to explain those threats, and that does It—with no discredit to yourself." Deck grinned. “You’re a swell law­ yer, Monty.” “And you need one." Deck rose with a vague word or two. Silently we sat there and watched his tall figure sauntering away. Monty Mitchell’s lips were creased in a taut line; he knew, and I knew, with heart- catching anxiety, that whatever Deck had done or not done, whatever had been between him and that dead wom­ an, whatever danger menaced him now, he was going on in his own high-hand­ ed way, to play his lone, defiant game. And I was terribly afraid for him. Hls Eyes Looked Me Through and Through. what you and his wife quarreled about.” < “Want me to toss you a yarn to win the five?” said Alan Deck with a Bud- den smile. I was sorry for him, for the torment­ ed look that underlay the pride and challenge of his high-held head. Quick­ ly I began to talk about Bancini and the discovery of his sword eano. I thought his interest would seize on that, but he shrugged it away. “Well, What of it? What do you think you can prove?” At the unresponsiveness of his face I flung out, “But don’t you want to find out who did it before the inquest to­ morrow?” “Let the dicks find out,” he said. [“They can’t hold me now on a few words when I was lit . . . Tm not worrying about tomorrow. “I want to get out of this damn’ house!” he broke out “I want to get back to New York—back to my office, back to sanity and sense—I never want to see a soul here again! Except you —I want to take you out to dinner and to a theater, and I want you to go dancing with me in that blue satin CHAPTER IX Nothing happened that night. I gath­ ered in a stout, dignified gray cat that I found promenading the hall and fed it morsels from my squab and tried to pretend that I was not lonely. It seemed a thousand years since I had first entered that room, since I had looked down to those two dark silhou­ ettes In that front window. I tried again to reconstruct those silhouettes, hoping that sujne trick of memory would bring to life a forgotten detail, but I was so tired that their shapes wavered fantastically before me. Nothing was going to interest that jury, I thought, except the finding of those diamonds inside my dress and the report of Deck’s violent threats to Nora Harriden. And his absence from the table. I needed ail the rest I could get to face that tomorrow, so I took a hot bath and went to bed. At first I slept, then as my weariness wore off, my worrying thoughts kept coming to the surface, rousing me, and at last, in the early morning dark I lay wide awake, my mind racing like an engine. I thought of the questions they were likely to ask me and a sud­ den qualm assailed me. I had taken it absolutely for granted that I would tell the same story which I had told Donahey about my reasons for going up to Mrs. Harriden's room, and that Deck would tell his same story, but now— This was different, this testimony before a coroner and a jury. This was under oath. Suppose Deck wanted me to tell “the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth”—to show that since he had asked me to’go up. he believed that Nora Harriden was still alive? I had to find out, I thought, stricken with belated panic, before I went Into that jury room. I would phone him for an interview the very. moment it was light enough to make my call possible. Then my mind turned to that hand­ kerchief with the rust marks. Some time on Friday night that handkerchief had been drying on a radiator.. Now a thought came to me. I didn’t know all that Donahey had asked, but I knew that In front of me no one had asked if such a handkerchief had been seen. I made up my mind to see every maid on that floor in the morning. It was Anson my thoughts circled Q- abouL I remembered that Anson had not volunteered anything .about the open window, though its being open must have seemed a trifle unusual. She had not volunteered anything. She bad given me a distinct impression of diffident reticence. Elkins, too, bad not come forward with bis statements until he had been questioned, and then he had had a bad struggle between his duty to his employers and his conscience and love of importance. I began to think it quite possible that some one had seen something that only direct questioning would bring out. Day was a desperate laggard. Very slowly the pale oblongs of my window lightened. Seven o’clock. Could I telephone then? No, that was far too early—I forced myself to wait till seven-thirty. Then there was no answer. The in­ strument was dead. I decided to dress and go downstairs. Dressing took time. I combed my fluff of hair into decorum and put on a sub­ dued lipstick. Then, just as I was ready to leave, came a knock at my door and the breakfast tray. I. asked my maid what rooms she looked after. “Why yours, miss, and the next when it is occupied.” “Then you aren't very busy now?” I suggested. “I assist with the linen. The mend­ ing, I mean,” she explained. Mending and the third-floor rooms— and mine was the only one occupied on the third floor. No use going Into the questions about the handkerchief, now, Hiough I decided to ask Mitchell to see that the question was asked at the in­ quest of every one. I hurried through my breakfast to get downstairs. I took the staircase to the left. One flight down I saw Anson standing in talk with the maid who did my room, and I quickened my steps toward her. Her arms were piled with fresh towels and the feminine in me could not resist paying attention to those towels, they were so lovely. Anson’s pretty face was troubled as she turned it to me. I said, “Oh, An­ son, there’s something I want to ask you,” and the other maid slipped away. Anson said, “Just a minute please. Ill be right out,” and turned Into the door of Prince Bancini, with a quick, pre­ liminary knock. I didn't want to stand-there waiting so I walked on down the hall, past the closed door where Nora Harriden was lying, then turned and sauntered slow­ ly along. Ahead of me I saw Anson come hur­ riedly out of Rancini's door her hands to her disordered hair, and behind her the prince made a Jack-ln-the-Box ap­ pearance, popping back as he caught sight of me but not before I had glimpsed his flashing, amused smile . Anson was breathing quickly. “Those foreigners!” she threw out, tucking In the loosened edges of her starched white frill. “He can keep his hands off!” she added, resentment stirring her out of her reticence. Why don’t you complain to the princess?” I suggested wickedly. That startled Anson more than Ban­ cini had done. She looked at me out of shocked eyes. “Oh, the maid is al­ ways wrong,” she said with cynical succinctness. “If you’ll excuse me, miss, I’ll be going back for my towels,” and she cast a look, .troubled for all her recovered composure, at the closed door of the room. lJust a moment, Anson. I was wait­ ing to see you. I want to ask you something." She kept her face away from me. “I’ll be telling all I know at the in­ quest this morning.” ’I know, but I want to speak to you first You know yon said to the in­ spector that you could not say that Mr. Deck had been In Mrs. Harriden’s room—when you saw him in the hall— you remember you said that don’t you?" ‘I remember,”- she said almost re­ luctantly. “I didn't like to say any­ thing else and make the gentleman trouble—I didn't know what words he had been using to the poor lady then.” Her voice changed to such sternness that I said quickly, “But perhaps El­ kins didn’t understand—” “He’s not one to misunderstand,” she told me firmly. ‘Tm promised to El­ kins, so I might say I know him. He didn’t like to say what he had to say, but it was his duty. A man making such tlirents— !” All sympathy for Deck was gone from her now, I went on anxiously, “And there’s another thing. Did you happen to see a handkerchief drying on a radiator in any of the rooms last night?” I wished I could know what that change In her face meant Had I hit on something—or was she merely startled at the idea? Her answer seemed slow tn coming and when it did it was oblique. “Will they ask me that miss?” “Yes, they will ask you that. But if I could know first—” “I’ll tell everything they ask me downstairs,” she said at last. “It’s my duty, I know, though Tm sorry enough —any one might have washed out a handkerchief—” I said more; I urged her eagerly but the girl was immovable. She only re. peated that she would tell all she knew later. - t It is quite futile to look back now and think, “Oh, if I had only done that dif­ ferently, If I had only found.the right word!” I see her there, In her pretty- black and white, that secret knowledge which she was so reluctant to reveal In her troubled eyes, and I think that if only I had been able to Induce her to share IL perhaps— But she moved away determinedly, and I went on upstairs to my room where I wrote a note to Mitchell, ask­ ing him to have that question put about the handkerchief, and another to Deck, asking him to come to see me as soon as possible. I rang for the maid and asked her to deliver them. Then I waited, hoping desperately that each moment would bring Deck. He didn’t come. He might be testi­ fying. He might be being kept Incom­ municado. . . . I mustn’t let myself look so worried; I must seem natural and at ease before, that jury. I was in a tense state of nerves when they finally came for me. My heart was beating sickeningly when I entered that dining-room, and for a moment the faces turned to me seemed^ like blurs in a fog. Then I steadied, and took in the groups. I saw a knot of people writing away busily on lit­ tle pads, newspaper people, I supposed, and I saw Mitchell and Donahey. The six men of the jury were lined along the dazzling black table and the cor­ oner, a tall, thin man with a drooping mustache, was at the end, and a court reporter, writing away, sat beside the vacant chair for the witness, across from the jury. . “Do you solemnly swear that the testimony that you shall give in the “You Lie So Convincingly.” case now on hearing shall be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you God?” I swore i t I told myself to put out of mind any idea of a change of testi­ mony, to hold fast to everything I had already said. I sat down In the wit­ ness chair, as I was told, and faced the jury. They were tradespeople from the small, nearby town. There is no need In -going over my testimony. They asked me everything, bit by bit, and I told them all I had told before. About the scene at the window. About meeting Alan Deck in the picture gallery. About being sum­ moned down to dinner. They tried to get me to name the time that .Deck had been absent from the table but I said I couldn't say. When It came to my going up to Mrs. Harriden’s room I could feel the attention.tightening about me. I tried to shut out of my mind every fear of Deck’s change of testimony; I repeated word for word what I had told Don­ ahey. The coroner put a question I hadn’t foreseen. “Have you anything In your posses­ sion, among your chemicals, that would take blood stains out of a handker­chief?" “Why yes," I said honestly. “Just peroxide often does'it” My voice was breathless sounding. I was grateful when they went on to the noise I thought I had heard In the night, and why I had not reported it “Why you know how it is about noises in the dark,” I explained. “The only sounds I could be sure I’d heard were those footsteps out In the hall, and I thought those belonged to a guard—the inspector had said the place would be guarded.” “That is all, Miss Seton. . . . Wit­ ness is excused.” I was the last. No one else was called; the jury rose and withdrew In the coroner’s wake, out to the drawing­ room. I looked about uncertainly and Mitchell came up to me. “You’re one of the best witnesses I ever saw. . . . You lie so convincinelv ” he said. . y’ I could feel the blood receding from heart. “Why—did Deck—?” t caught myself up, but I could not turn my eyes away from his knowing dark ones. “No, he didn’t reveal anything” he told me, and my relief was go poignant it must have looked out all over me •He added, “But I’d give a plugged nickel to know what he really said to you that night-about taking no steps* Then he told me kindly, “i was ^ ceiving you, my dear, when I said that you Bed well.

The lovely Karen found, not long ago, that she had to put on B>me weight. So she did; moved to the beach, and put on fifteen pounds. She was delighted, but na­ turally none of her clothes would fit, so she’s sending them to the girls who have written to her In the past Lucky girls—and generous Karen! Some of our pretty ladies of the screen would have sold the cast-off garments, or saved them, just in case they needed clothes of that period In future, and grew slim enough to wear them. In the course of a personal appear­ ance tour, John Boles recently visited Lynchburg, Ya., in or­ der to take a look at Bandolph-Macon col­ lege, which his wife attended. The visit was a triumph, with the ,girls mobbing John, and John tele­ phoning his wife, who is In London, from the president’s office. But Imagine the chagrin of the busi­ ness man who formal­ ly presented him to an audience as “Major Bowes!" Howev­ er, It’s innocent blunders like that one that produce spontaneous laughs. —k— Nowadays the door that leads to endless opportunities seems to be the one that leads to a radio studio—al­ most any radio studio. Not long ago Anne Nichols attended a broadcast of the radio version of her current play, “Pre-Honeymoon.” (It was Miss Nich­ ols, you’ll recall, who wrote “Abie’s Irish Rose.”) In the cast engaged for the broadcast was a girl named Pat Lederer. And Miss Nichols liked her work so much that she promptly en­ gaged her for a role in the stage ver­ sion of the play. -r-k “Fury” is one of the pictures you’ll want to see. It’s a picture with a message, a scathing indictment of lynching, and the leading roles are magnificently played by Sylvia Sidney and Spencer Tracy. Don’t miss IL —K— Apparently Eleanor Powell has gone romantic In a big way. The young man is John Payne, who hails from Richmond, Va., and is a grandson of John Howard Payne, author of “Home Sweet Home." The two young people were In a play together in New York. Eleanor was-instrumental in persuad­ ing him to go to Hollywood to work In “Dodsworth,” and has been coach­ ing him for the screen. Incidentally, Eleanor might never have attained the heights in Holly­ wood if she hadn’t been annoyed be­ cause somebody patronized her when she was introduced as a tap dancer. Right then she decided that she’d show those Hollywood people what she could do as an actress. —K— ‘ Nowadays when you see and hear an actor singing In a picture, the chances are that what you hear wasn’t recorded while the actor was photographed. This may be a good idea, because so many singers make funny faces when they sing, but on the other hand, it destroys the illu­ sion that the singer is really singing. But Grace Moore is lucky. She not only sings beautifully, but she looks beautiful while she’s doing it. So she sings while the cameras grind, and the result is perfect —K— If you want to be slender, says Mary Boland, don’t sleep too much. She gives a rule that she has found effective during her long' and success­ ful career on the stage, and she’s ob­ served it during her equally success­ ful movie career. “Six hours’ sleep for a man, seven for a woman, eight for |gf a fool,” says she. But she won’t find many followers in Holly­ wood, because movie stars are told to get plenty of sleep so that- they won’t have clr- '1 cles under their eyes. —k— Paramount execu­ tives ought to rejoice over “The Princess Comes Across.” it’s a , delightful p ic tu re , with Carole Lombard and Fred Mac- ^Yf1Py a t theJr best, and offers both a delightful satire on movledom and a murder mystery for your entertain- ment E t N° I " ™ * '’ Anita re.J Eurhpe on Ae fi™* sailing IfJ t S h fc? m d hene ^ n e and her husband sailed on the return voyage . . .

The president resumed the chair. Mr. Harrison reported that the committee of the whole Congress have agreed to a Declaration, which he de­ livered In. The Declaration being again read, was agreed to.” The text of the declaration as agreed to finally was substantially as Jeffer­ son had prepared it. * • • ' I 'HE Declaration received the votes -*• of all the Colonies except New York, whose delegates were not then authorized to commit themselves on the matter. A short time later they were so authorized and also sanctioned it. At the JuI ‘ 4 session, after agree­ ment to the eclaration, the Con­ gress ordered that it be printed and copies sent to the various Colonial As­ semblies and to the commanding offi­ cers ot the Conti­ nental troops and that it be pro­ claimed “In each of the United States, and at the head of the army.” It was signed the same day by John Hancock, as president of the Congress. Theother signatures, how ­ ever, were not in­ scribed on the orig­ inal text. That text w a s copied on parchment, and on August 2 the for­ mality of signing took place. Fifty- three signed that day; three signed later in the year. Of the fifty-six sign­ ers, seven were not members of the Congress on July 4 when the Declara­ tion was agreed to, and of those who were present on that historic day, seven never signed the document. The Declaration was first proclaimed In public on July 8, when it was read by John Nixon from the platform built In Independence Square in 1769. * • • THB Declaration was not adopted by the Continental Congress until al­ most fifteen months after the War for Independence started with the engage­ ments at Concord and Lexington. They 'occurred on April 19, 1775. In fact, seven important battles of that war had been fought before the resolution of independence Introduced by Mr. Lee was agreed to. They were, besides Concord and Lexington, Ticonderoga, on May 10; Bunker Hill, on June 17; Montreal, on November 13; Quebec, on December 31, all in 1775, and Fort Moultrie, on June 28, 1776. George Washington had been commander-in- chief—though he was termed a general —of the Continental forces since June 15, 1775. At the time of the Declara­ tion, Washington was in the field and had been for more than a year. On the day it was formally adopted he he was In New York, preparing for what was to be the Battle of Long Island. Despite the deliberate action of the Congress, however, there had teen de­ mands for a declaration of independ­ ence months before that July day in 1776. There was the Macklenberg Dec­ laration, passed on May 20, 1775. And on April 22, 1776, the freeholders of Cumberland county, Virginia, called for similar action by the Virginia con­ vention Itself, which met on May 6 and moved for the declaration which Rich­ ard Henry Lee presented to the Con­ gress the following month. President, and the Fourth Data of things that happened on the Fourth of July reveal that one Presi­ des Calvin Coolidge, was born on the Fourth and three Presidents, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe, died on July 4, Adams and .W erson dytag on the same date In 1826. Independence Day From Washingion Star TTTHEN those fleeting flaming glories fY Were displayed across the sky In remembrance of the stories Of brave men in days gone by, Then toe thought of deeds 'of daring And of clear and steadfast niinds That had set the country faring Safe through the tempestuous winds. Then we pondered on the toiling And the watches of the night; Of the suffering and despoiling Braved in reverence of the right.And each memory we cherish Shall not, fade away and die, Shall not be allowed to perish - Like a rocket m the sky, WhereOIdGIory Was First Flown N June, 1777, a committee hav­ ing been appointed by con­ gress to confer with General Washington concerning a de­ sign for a national flag, it re­ ported in favor of one con­ taining thirteen stripes, al- _______. ternately red and white, and a blue field adorned with; thirteen white stars. This was adopted June 14, and the design was carried to the up­ holstering shop of Mrs. Boss, No. 239 Arch street, Philadelphia, where the first national flag was made. The original design required six- pointed stars, but, upon Mrs. Ross’ sug­ gestion that five- pointed stars would be more symmetri­ cal, the pattern was changed. This lady w as afterw ard given the position of manufacturer of government flags, which occupation upoji her death was retained by her chil­ dren. The claim is well established, states a writer In the Cleve­ land Plain Dealer, that a flag of this design of stars and stripes was first hoisted at Fort Stan- wix, called Fort Schuyler at the time, near the present city of Kome, N. Y., on August 3, 1777. It was first under fire three days later in the battle of Oriskany.By' act of congress January 13, 1794, the design of the flag was changed so as to incorporate fifteen stripes and fifteen stars, after the admission of Vermont and Kentucky, and one star was to be added for every subsequent state admitted. This, however, was re­ pealed in 1818, when the original num­ ber of stripes was established,, the stars continuing to increase as new states were admitted. DISPLAYING THE FLAG T HB flag code states that when the flag is displayed either hori­ zontally or vertically against a wall, the union should be uppermost and to the flag’s own right, L e., to the observer’s left. Under the heading “Cautions,” the code reads: “Do not use the flag as drapery in any form whatever. Use bunting of blue-, white and red.” IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY IcHooL L e s s o n By REV. p. B. PIT2WATER, D. Member of Faculty.

After this Is done, there will follow the preaching of the gospel of the kingdom by con­ verted Israelites (Acts 15:14-17; Cf. Matt. 24:14). This was not clear to the disciples, therefore they put the question, “Wilt thou at this time re­ store the kingdom to Israel?” The Davidlc kingdom shall be established, but not until after the gospel of the grace of God is preached and the body of Christ is completed. 1. In Jerusalem (v. 8). This was done by the twelve immediately fol­ lowing Pentecost. 2. In Judea and Samaria (v. 8). This was done by the disciples after the hands of the persecutors were laid on them. Not only the twelve but many others took part In this. 3. Unto the uttermost part of the earth (v. 8). Beginning with the first foreign missionary enterprise, this work has been carried on till the pres­ ent time. II. The Coming of the Spirit (Acts 2 :1-11). The power of the early Churcn was the Holy Spirit. The watchword of God’s -mightiest men throughout the centuries has been “not'by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, salth the Lord of hosts” (Zech. 4:6). 1. The time (v. I). II was on the day of Pentecost. By “day of Pent­ ecost” Is meant the feast which was held fifty days after the wave sheaf was oifered (Lev. 23:15, 16). It was observed by presenting two loaves made of the new meal (Lev. 23:17). These loaves were baked with leaven, while leaven was rigidly excluded from the passover feast (Lev. 23:6). 2. Upon whom the Spirit came (v. i). Cf. 1:13-15. The twelve and others to the number of 120. The coming of the Spirit was not merely for the twelve but for all believers, all the members of the body of Christ They were In cne place with one accord waiting for the fulfillment of the Father’s promise (Luke 24:49). If the church would be with one accord In one place, won­ derful blessings might still be expected. 3. The marks of the Spirit (vv. 2-4). These marks were external and in­ ternal. a. External. (I) The SigD of a mighty wind. There was no wind, oniy the sound thereof, suggesting the all- pervasive, life-giving influence of the Holy Spirit. (2) Tongues of flame. Each of the 120 was crowned with such a tongue. The tongues show the prac­ tical purpose of the Spirit’s gifts and the fire indicates his purifying energy, purging away the dross and making fit his witnesses. (3) Speaking in for­ eign tongues. For these humble Gali­ leans thus to speak caused great amazement. b. Internal. This is seen in the transformation wrought in the dis­ ciples. They now have great cour­ age and self-posse3sion. Peter, who a little while before was cowering be­ fore a Jewish maid, now with Hon- boldness stood befo.e the thousands of Jerusalem, and a little later before the chief rulers of the city, and declared that they had murdered tbeir King. III. The Converting Power of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:37-42). Many people were convicted of their sins—about 3,000 repented and were baptized. This revival was real be­ cause 1. They continued steadfast in the apostles’ teaching (v. 42). They did not grow, cold or run after every new teacher--.that came along. 2. They continued in fellowship with the apostles (v. 42). The surest way to grow is to keep in fellowship with Christians. Spiritual indifference is sure to follow the neglect of the fel­ lowship of the brethren In Christ. 3. They continued In the use of the means of grace (v. 42). They broke bread together. 4. In prayer. (The apostolic ehurch was' a praying church. The Christian life cannot be lived without prayer.

News Review of Current Events the World Over Revised Guffey Coal Bill Is Passed—Republicans Map Campaign Strategy—England Abandons Anti-Italian Trade Sanctions. By EDWARD W. PICKARD © Western Newapaiier Union. LAST minute passage of Important legislation marked the closing, ses­ sions of congress before adjournment for the summer. The house, by a vote of 161 to 90, passed the revised version of the Guf­ fey bill to restore federal control of soft coal production, Invalidated by the Supreme court It passed the measure on to the senate. Observers pointed out that this was the quickest repair job on a Supreme court decision that the New Deal has thus far achieved. The new bill eliminates provisions governing work­ ing hours and wages which the court held invalid. It retains, however, two features which the court neither approved nor disapproved: I—The granting to a na­ tional bituminous coal commission au­ thority to fix prices and approve mar­ keting agreements. 2—The imposition of a tax on the production of coal. The. tax feature has been altered some­ what from the original bill. Instead of a flat 15 per cent tax on coal produc­ tion, It calls for an outright excise levy of 1% per cent on all soft coal, plus a 13% per cent tax on coal in inter­ state commerce. The house, likewise, adopted the two billion, 360 million dollar relief and deficiency bill. At the same time, it killed two other measures. One was for the appropriation of funds .to com­ plete the $150,000,000 Florida ship ca­ nal, which had been approved by the senate. The other was the anti-lobby bill sponsored by Senator Black of Alabama. As presented to the house It would have forced the registration of lobbyists, including those appearing before congress and before government departments. It would also have re­ quired information on contributions for lobbying purposes and payments made to lobbyists. The senate by a vote of 42 to 24 passed the Wagner, bill providing for a $460,000,000 program to encourage low cost housing construction. The bill would set up a federal housing au­ thority to administer the act D1 Sen.

EATH “in1 the harness” came to Senator Duncan U. Fletcher, dean of the senate, who bad represented Florida in the upper bouse for the last quarter of a century. ^ He died suddenly at r - his home In Washing- L ton. Senator Fletcher, I SL ft a strong supporter of the Boosevelt admin­ istration although he was considered a con­ servative, was chair­ man of the banking and currency commit­ tee which bore the brunt of the task in­ volved In the currency reform legislation and the banking act of 1935. President Roosevelt, In a statement eulogizing the senator, said “the coun­ try has lost an able and conscientious servant In the death of Senator Fletcher.” He declared the Floridian “was pver actuated by motives of high patriotism and unselfish devotion to the public welfare.” The death of Senator Fletcher fol­ lowed closely the passing of Senator Park Trammel of Florida and the death of Speaker Joseph W. Byrns of Ten­ nessee. Senator Fletcher was born In Sumter county, Georgia, January 6, 1859. He was graduated from Vanderbilt uni­ versity-in 1880 and began the practice of law In Jacksonville, Fla,, In 1881. He was elected to the United States senate In 1908 and had been renominat­ ed and re-elected In each subsequent term. While no movem'ent had been under­ taken to select his successor as chair­ man of the important, banking and currency committee, it was felt in Wadiington circles that Senator Carter Glass, senate veteran, Virginia Demo­ crat, wartime secretary of the treas­ ury and staunch gold standard advo­ cate, was In line for the post Al­ though a critic of some of President’s policies, Senator Glaiss has never gone far off the reservation.

DEFINITE abandonment of Britain’s trade sanctions against Italy and advocacy of their official removal by the League of Nations was decided upon by the British cabinet under the presidency of Prime Minister Stanley Bald­ win. This action of the cabinet had been expected for some time, following the failure, of the sanc­ tions' to halt Italy’s progress In the con= quest of Ethiopia. It was expected that : ■ • .. Ckpt Anthony' Eden, Anthony Eden foreign secretary, would go to Genieva to attend the league meeting and urge abolition, of league sanctions against Italy. Dispatches:, from Paris indicated French support of the British program. The cabinet was also, reported; to have formulated a program regarding Germany and the reformation of the league which may call for continued pressure on Beichsfuehrer Hitler to use his power and Influence to pro­ mote European peace. GEN. JOHN J. PEBSHING Is not optlnilstic concerning world peace. Addressing the, graduating class at the United States Military academy on the fiftieth anniversary of Us own gradua­ tion, the general said “no one can tell wlien we shall again iieed' our armies.” H e continued: “The situation' in the world today is .fir from reassuring.

They owe it ta all thatis sacred to make ample preparation against an evil day.* PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT returned to Washington from his tour through six western states and, though he was rather tired, he hoped to run up to New London, Conn., for the Yale-Harvard boat race. That de­ pended on the congres­ sional situation. He had to deal with the lawmakers who were all tangled up in the controversy over the tax bill,'-and also to complete his speech of acceptance to be de­ livered at Philadel­ phia on June 27. The final speech of Mr. Roosevelt’s trip was delivered at Vincennes, Ind., where he dedicated the handsome memorial to George Rogers Clark. He paid eloquent tribute to that conqueror of the Northwest ond found occasion to appeal for support of his own program. Said he: “In his (Clark’s) day among the pi­ oneers „ there were Jumpers of land claims and those who sought to swin­ dle their neighbors though they were poor in this world’s goods and lived in sparsely settled communities. Today among our teeming millions there still are those who by dishonorable means seek to obtain the possessions of their unwary neighbors. , "Our modern civilization must con­ stantly protect Itself against moral de­ fectives whose objectives are the same but whose methods are more subtle than their prototypes of a century and a half ago. W e, do not change onr form of free government when we arm ourselves with new weapons against new devices of crime and cupidity.” In a series of rhetorical questions the President defended the AAA sub­ sidies to farmers, soil conservation, re­ forestation, and preservation of wild life. > From Vincennes Mr. Roosevelt went to Hodgenville, Ky., for a brief visit to Lincoln’s birthplace, and then his train carried him back to Washington., N A secret consistory Pope Pius XI raised to the rank of cardinal two of his old friends, Giovanni Mercati and Eugenio Tisserant Twenty-seven cardinals were present at the cere­ mony, atnong them being Cardinal Dougherty of Philadelphia. During the consistory the pope for­ mally proclaimed appointments of three American and two Canadian bishops. They were Msgr. George L. Leech, bishop of Harrisburg, Pa.; Msgr. Hugh L. Lamb, auxiliary bishop to Cardinal Dougherty, Msgr. William Adrian, Nashville, Tenn.; Msgr. ■ Francis Car­ rol, Calgary, Alta, and Msgr. Patrick Bray, S t John. UST as his office was about to ex­ pire, Joseph B. Eastman, federal co­ ordinator ut transportation, submitted a report In which he proposed a lot of reforms by which the railroads might win back the .business they have lost to the truck' and the automobile. Among hh. suggestions are lower fares, light­ er weight and speed­ ier cars, use of busses and trucks by the rail- roa is to mppt compe­ tition and consolida­ tion of terminals and <1. BrEastman 0 yjer facilities. He also advised the development of a nation-wide “container” service In the movement of freight by railway, highway and water, predicting that this would save millions of dollars In the handling of. present freight and would create much new business. Tbe containers are now used in a limited manner in some localities and indus­ tries. Eastman recommended a “searching examination and thorough overhaul­ ing” of railroad pullman service, and a plan of operation under which the Pullman company would own and op­ erate the cars and railroads, leasing them and retaining the entire revenue from the sleeping and parlor car serv­ ice. FOUR years ago Senator George Nor­ ris of Nebraska, independent Re­ publican, warmly supported Franklin D. Booseyelt for the Presidency, and he now announces that he will again back the Democratic ticket He urges his countrymen “to forget partisanship and come to the support of the man who more than any other man In re­ cent years has stood for the welfare of the common people.” The senator said the Cleveland con­ vention ’’nominated a man for President whose greatest asset Is that nobody knows him and nobody, knows what be stands for.

Townsend’s fanciful dream for pay­ ment of pensions of Townsend $200 per month for Plan Flops everyone over sixty years of age seems to have gone up in smoke, but there are developments in connection with the California doctor’s unworkable scheme that merit comment. The good doctor and his half-baked idea have been skidding rapidly since the House investigating conimittee showed up the plan as a befuddled idea and as I once predicted, the bubble burst in a big way. While I am inclined to* believe that Dr. Townsend was honest and sincere In proposing the $200 per month pen­ sion, it was the sort of thing that serves as an Inducement for racket­ eers to gather. It was the old mo­ lasses barrel for the fties in the world of racketeers. It never had a chance to go anywhere and never will, be­ cause It was fundamentally unsound. We can dismiss It then except for the two phases which uught to be vigor­ ously condemned by right-thinking people everywhere. The two circumstances which I hear ■discussed most frequently are: The tragedy, the heartaches, that obviously follow In the wake of “movements” such as the Townsend plan that can­ not succeed and that draw to them­ selves thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of persons who believe they are going to benefit; and secondly, it seems to me that the House'commit­ tee, headed by Bepresentative Bell, of Missouri, overplayed its hand with the result that it has brought upon House committees the same, public dis­ gust and distrust as characterizes 90 per cent of the Senate investigations. Each of these conditions is to be de­ plored. Each is definitely destructive. There can be no more excuse for some of the methods employed by the House committee In crucifying Dr. Townsend than for Dr. Townsend him­ self to wreck hearts and hopes and homes by pushing forward such a mis­ erably impossible proposition as his $200 per month .pension program. The House committee bad within Its power opportunity to do a magnificent job in exposing the racketeering that become part and parcel of the Town­ send plan. - It bad within its hands the capacity to educate millions within the United States against following such an illusion, such a mirage, as the Townsend plan. If it bad confined it­ self to that work, Bepresentative Bell and bis’committee should receive the plaudits of the nation. But the sad story is that the committee under Mr. Pell's guidance allowed itself to be­ come an agency of prosecution, even persecution, rather than an unbiased Investigating unit, determined only .to obtain the truth. * * • Since there never was any question that the Townsend nostrum would fall , of its own weight Committee eventually, it is dif- Errs ficult to understand why the committee resorted to the tactics it used. I watched some of those hearings. As the committee delved deeper into the activities of Dr. Townsend and his as­ sociates, it became infuriated. That was where it made its big mistake and it is going to be quite a long time before House committees again can have a reputation throughout the coun­ try of conducting unbiased and rea­ sonable investigations. Dr. Townsend Waj5 sufficiently "hard boiled” to justify the committee in making a vigorous Investigation. He was sufficiently indifferent to their of­ fers or hints of co-operation to War­ rant a feeling on the committee’s part tfiat they had to “bear down.” Yet, it must be said the committee went beyond all reason and I liniaglne that In- the end it will fiare back on the Individuals. Now, Dr. Townsehdi Surelyl cannot blame anyone other than himself for tife fact that Hijf is- faced With proceed­ ings by tiie United States attorney, it will be remembered, of course, that Dr. Townsend deliberately walked out of the committee and refused to tes­ tify. Tliat bas always been Hieia as contempt and Congress has the right to punish for contempt In this .In- stance, the House of Representatives elected to turn Dr. Townsend’s case over to the United Slates attorney for punishment in court rattier tiian to employ a , Honse vote wblch might send the elderly dreamier to jail. Further, the whole !Towneend Inves­ tigation has , turned out to lie some­ thing of a mess like tiie Townsend plan itself.

J f e :;! «I!fi;Hj -I: l i f e i f - i fir Hs Ilf IfillJl IJ t i l -- ' I Amendment by Judicial De- \ cision Latest Plan of Administration. - Washington observers see In recent events a change in the policy of the ,Boosevelt Administration with relation to the Supreme Court and the Consti­ tution. The Administration has not 'given up the idea of getting what laws It wants to carry out Its social and ,economic “reforms.” -Instead of press­ ing at this time, however, for one or more amendments to the Constitution that, would enable the New Deal to !carry through Its policies, experiments and programs, the Administration will ,wait for a change in the personnel of the Supreme Court. As Washington writers see it, Mr. Boosevelt anticipates the early retire- ,ment of two Supreme Court justices be­ cause of age. Bofti justices have been 'regularly on the majority side in in­ validating New Deal laws. Three oth­ er justices. generally have, been in'a so-called “pro-New Deal” minority. If two of the majority side were to re­ tire and were to be replaced with members of Mr. Boosevelt’s choice there would be a potential, if not pre­ sumable, alignment of five to four In sympathy with the Administration’s legislative programs. Thus might be accomplished what Chief Justice Hughes recently condemned as amend­ ing the Constitution “by judicial de­ cision” The Hughes Opinion. In reading his opinion In the Guffey Coai Act case the Chief Justice said on May 18: “If the people desire to give Con­ gress the power to regulate industries within the State, and the .relation of ■employers and employees In these In­ dustries, they are at liberty to declare ■their will In the appropriate manner, but It is not for the Court to amend the Constitution by judicial decision.” ■ By “the appropriate manner” Mr. Justice Hughes, of course, was refer­ ring to the method of amending the - Constitution by submitting the pro­ posed' change to the people of all- the ,States, as required by the'Constitu­ tion itself. It Is clear that the old method does not appeal to Donald Bichberg, former ■NBA administrator, and recently re­ stored; to influence as a WhBe House .advisor. Mr. Bichberg believes that The plan to amend the Constitution in ■such manner as to give Congress a !free course In regulation of Industry ; would be going too far. He opposes ■also the proposal of an amendment to ,'prevent the Supreme Court from in­ validating acts of. Congress.i Mr. Richberg’s Idea. ; Mr. Bichberg wants amendment by .judicial decision. Apparently Mr. ■Roosevelt has accepted- the Bichberg Strategy. In a speech on April 8 of ■this year Mr. Bichberg said: “The process of amending the Con­ stitution by construction has been rec­ ognized as necessary and beneficial by the .most eminent expounders of con­ stitutional law.” i The speaker defended the necessity of, having a court review of acts of !Congress and then went on to say: “Such a decision of, the Supreme Court must be accepted and respected (as determining, for the time being, that which is the law. But if the !people of the United States do not de- |8ire that law they should not be re­ quired to amend the Constitution !merely to change a debatable construc- ltion of Its meaning.” J- The statements of Mr. Justice jHughes and of Mr. Bichberg present a ,clean-cut issue. If the Constitution is ,to be amended by judicial decision the iPeople will have lost Bie power over {amendments which they have possessed ifor almost one hundred and fifty years. I On the other hand if, either by the I old method of amendment or by the !new, Congress is to be given the pow- |er to regulate industry and commerce' 'at will, the powers of the States will jhave disappeared. Our dual form of •Government, the foundation of the {American system, will have gone down­ stream with other basic concepts ap­ proved by our-fathers. Federal Spending Equals Total Income of Farms • Estimated expenditures in running the Federal Government f<* the year • 1936 are about eight billions of dollara Estimated gross income from farm pro­ duction in 1935 was a little more than eight billions of dollars. In other words total value of what all the farms In the United States produced last year would barely be enough to pay Government expenses this year. To iput It. 8till another way, a farm pop­ ulation of more than thirty-two mil­ lions of .persons produced just about enough to equal the Federal Adminis­ tration’s spending for one hundred and twenty-seven millions of persons. Spending In Washington continues to ,increase. The Treasury statement for Ithe fiscal year, up to May 22, shows an {Increase of more than fifty-nine mil­ lions In outgo as compared-with the I same period- last year. During that [period of a little less than eleven {months the Government received in ex- Icess of a quarter of a billion dollars more from taxes than it did last year. The year’s deficit to May 22 was more than 2.880, millions. Tbe Administra­ tion still is Iivlng recklessly beyond Its means. ~ Notice of Sale!

Wildorgiesof spending were predicted by some Canvasses were made beforehand in an effort to ascertain what the veterans had in mind to do when they got the money. It seemed to be the general opinion that all or most of the pay would be used for some selfish purpose by the indivi duals. It was allowed that a great deal of it would be spent in sensible ways and that much of it would be wasted. Now that most of the money has been distributed, it comes to light that much of the bonus money went into channels which were not suggested or anticipated by those who were speculating upon it be­ forehand outside of the veterans themselves. By no means was all of it used for selfish purposes. Among the thousands who drew the bonds, there are hundreds who refused the money for themselves, but turned it over to their disabled and wound ed comrades and to widows of their comrades who did not return aftei the great conflict. There are also a few who did not even apply for their adjusted Compensation be­ cause of their avowed patriotism which prompted the feeling that their country owed them nothing for their services in the fields of battle for what they were led to be- lieve was democracy for the world at large. Our hats are off to those '»*b.I§ souls who were willing to sacrifice their own pleasures and needs for the men who were less fortunate than themselves in the matter of dodging shrapnel and inhaling poi­ son gas. Also we admire a patrio­ tism such as is demonstrated by the ones who did hot apply. There are still some other veter’ ans who command our attention by the manner in which they , are treating their bonus money. Thev are the unfortunate fellows who have met with legal difficulty. Their bonus money has come to them while they are serving terms in penal institutions. It has been learned that many of them have arranged with their wardens to place their bonds in safe keeping for them until such time as their sentence will expire. Some may laugh and jest that they couldn't spend it anyhow while they are in the penitentiary, but there are many uses to which they may put their money while they are serving their terms. It appears to us that those who have asked their wardeas to hold their bonus bonds for them until they get out of the institutions have good intentions rather than evil ones, and we admire them for their thought of retiring their money to aid them in making a reformation. We wish them well.—Statesville Record. ___________ Id Admiration Of Finland. Some of the European nations that are so proud of their wealth, their Culture, their reputed honesty in diplomatic matters, tbeir strength on land and sea in defense machinery their possessions and dominions; and who. no doubt, bask luxuriantly in the warmth of the flattering term. World Power, which is applied to them, should, figuratively, or m reality, bow their heads m bumili_ at ion before the shining example of little Finland who again has notified tbe United States that she will meet her obligation promptly and willing­ ly in payment of the amount due on her war debt to this country - E x Election Money. The Atlanta Georgian, a strong iemocratic paper, says in a recent editorial: Perhaps Senator Norris can an- ■swer these six questions. ~ Senator Norris of Nebraska has many admirable qualities, but ap- oarently a sense of humor is not among them. ' . Speaking Sunday night in be­ half of President Roosevelt and the; New Deal,-and beseeching support for him regardless of policies, he. warned against the money that would be spent to defeat him. Really, Senator, this statement is very funny to anyone who has a -ense of humor. Do you recall any election .in history when the party in power has had so much money at its com mand for unchecking and unscruti nized expenditure? Do you remember any admin­ istration which has been more cal: tous and shameless in its expeodi ture for the promotion of its own political fortunes than the Roose­ velt administration? Could anything be more at var ’ ience with the principals you have always professed than the Politi­ calization of Human Relief by the; Roosevelt administration? ~- Could anything be more demo­ ralizing than the disbursme’nt Un der orders from "Tammany Jim” Farley, whom you so dislike,Jo f millions upon millions of dollars for the manifest purpose of Coer; cing the voters into the support of the administration from which: WilT'ypu deny, Senator Norris, that pradtically the credit of the nation has been requistioned and billions appropriated, with an eve single to the re election of'your candidate, Mr. Roosevelt? Do you not realize that this vast debauchery of the electorate was what Mr. Farley meant when he said that “the President Willl Not Per mit himself to be. defeated?” Anymoaey the Republicans may have -and up to date they have very- little at least Belonged to those Re publicans who contributed it volun­ tarily.

D. R. Responsible For New Deal. By. Nicholas Roosevelt,. For The National Republican Builders, Inc, Nothing better shows the utter cynicism of the New Dealers than the bland way in which they are fostering the notion that Franklin D. Roosevelt is much more popular, than the New Deal. 1 Theirobject is plain—to seek .to divorce F. D R., from theNew Deal in the public mind with the expecta- ion. that this will make his re-elec­ tion easier and that they can then perpetuate their own policies and en­ trench themselves behind his dis- trming charm They know that many of the New Deal measure;— iuch as have survived the scrutiny >f the Supreme Court—are unpopu­ lar. They realize that if the elec­ tion could be made into a referer- Ium on the New Deal they would Ie inpelessly beaten. They are placing their reliance on the magic name of Roosevelt. They are gambling on the voice with a tmile, and on Mr. Roosevelt’s infinite rkili in subtly setting class against ■.lass and making himself out to be the poor man’s' friend. Asian astute politician up for re­ flection he can hardly be blamed for being, willing to countenance the de- -eit pf divorcing himself from the New Deal. But it certainly behooves all honest men and women of both DartieS to do what they can to show the blatant dishonesty of this ap­ peal. Who sponsored the New Deal? Franklin D. Roosevelt. Who appointed Messrs. Tugwell, Hopkins, Ickes, and others to office md kept them- despite the ,popular •utcry againstthem? F.'D .R .. ■ Who forced through Congress as ’‘must’’ legislation many of the most nnpopular of tbe- New; Deal mea­ sures? FDR. Who'sought to change the tradition d from our government and in place >f a Federal system with divided powers, set up a strongly centralized government modelled on European lines? Who spoke in favor of the merit ■ystem for government employes at 'he same time that he • demeralized the civij service- with political ap­ pointments? F. D. R. Who was it who eagerly sought the advice of Felix Frankfurter, Rexford G. Tugwell and other apos­ tles of a semi-socialistic Btate and blithely allowed their ideas to be in­ jected into many measures in Wash- ingtot? F. D, -R.. Who ridiculed the Supreme Co'urt, and. spoke' of the Constitution as the product of a “horse-and-buggy” era.-and urged. Congress to pass the Guffey Coal bill regardless of doubts as to its constitutionality "however reasonable”? F. D. R. W hoencouragedapolicy of reck­ less-expenditure in all branches- of the Federal government? F D R. In other words, the NeW Deal and Franklin Delano Roosevelt are one and inseparable.. What was.good in tbe New Deal should be credited to Mr. Roosevelt. Butwhat is bad ir- it muSt al»o be held against him. v Tomany persons this effort to di­ vest Mr. Roosevelt of all responsi­ bility for the New Deel shows a. lack ’if moral sensed such as has rarely been seen in American political life, it is on a par with Mr. Rooseve’t’s readiness to promise anything to anyone, and with the manner In- which be completely disregarded his campaign pledges after he was elect- ed. . ; It is not enough to say. as does bis apologist, James A. Farley, that con­ ditions had so changed between -the summer of 1932 and the spring of 1933 that Mr. Roosevelt had to change his platform: No one halds it against any man for meeting changed-conditions with changed methods: The im portant' thing is that thisreadmes! to disregard any obligation which itw inconvenient to observe strike at the very , funda­ mentals of our social and - moral system. It is tbe philoBopbr of mor­ al law. And personal expendiency, when placed above sacred obliga­ tions in government, leads rapidly to j the break-down of governmentas WeII as of morality, because govern- at least the form of government which we have develnpfd'in this country—has been built up largely to protect powerless individuals B- giinst the powerful- -to pro'ect the citizens against the whims of the governor. _ Hand-in hand with this subtle un­ dermining of integrity. has been- an open attack on the old moral quali-: ties which made the strength of the American people —on self reliance, honesty, thrf-. industry. These qualities have been ridiculed add tbeir opposites fostered by govetlj- ment action. X- Mr. Roosevelt, as already indicat­ ed, cannot be blamed for seeking re- election. He would not be the good p-ilitician that he is if he did not try to use every trick that may get him votes. But this is no reason why his oppouents should let him ‘get k- way with” the brazen contention that ne is better than the New Dej|l, and that even if yuu dislike the New Deal, you should continue to sup­ port him. If you reJf Iect him you will have four years more, of tjje New Deal—and there is every rea­ son to expect that its worst features will be intensified. ; ■■ The ch oice's not between Roose­ velt and the New Deal, but between the New Deal and. the Republican ticketl There is no alternative. Potting The “Shush” On Liquor. When the Democratic State Gon- - vention met in Raleigh there Was- considerable discussion-among dele-, gates and visitors in connection with. what the convention' would, do on the qales tax-and liquor,‘queStihha - ; . The platform commute was qdfte frank about the saies'tax. - It insert­ ed a plank recommending that the exemptions on necessities of life, be put into effect again. But not’ a. word about liquor! When newspaper readers, and radio listeners obtained word of the action of the platform committee, they naturally mad* inquiries relative to why this important plank had been ignored. We believe that tbe reason- ' is obvious tu most everybody, but in ' he event vou want an explanation^; it is this. j The Damocratic Convenii m let Ihet riquor issue slip by, because they didn’t have the intestinal fortinfde to take a definite stand, one way lor another.—The State • ^ Perpetual Motion.

C. FRANK STROUD Editor. TELEPHONE Entered atthe Postoffice in Mocks vllle, N. C., as Second-class Mail matter. March 3.1903. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: ONE YEAR. IN ADVANCE -_ $ I 00 SIX MONTHS. IN ADVANCE - . S 50 “ When the wicked rule the peo. pie mourn ” Never was there truer saying. What this country needs today is more honest men and fewer rascals holding office. Thousands of voters .throughout the South who have been worn to a frazzle by tne New Deal, will vote for Alf Daudon1 a poor man, instead ol Franklin Roosevelt, a millionaire when the first Tuesday Sn Novem­ ber rolls around.'. Jim Farley, wet Catholic, who heads and runs the democratic party along with the postoffice department is not pleased with the Republican national ticket. The Republicans didn’t nominate a ticket to please the said liquor Jim. Tames Hartness, Aus Watts and many other machine men have pas­ sed on to their reward, but the old democratic machine is still in good shape and functioning right along. This fact was demonstrated to a Queen’s taste in the recent demo ciatic primary. Calvin Coolidge made an excellent president, and Alf Landon who is a second Coolidge, will lead this coun­ try out of the wilderness to the land of milk and honey. After next November there will be no more drowning of pigs and plowing up of cotton, corn and wheat. Seems that Franklin Roosevelt, in his western speeches, said some good words for the Constitution. Isn’t he the same gentleman who was responsible for the NRA, the AAA and the rest of the alphabet that was knocked into a cocked hat by the Supreme Court. Seems that Josiah Washboard Bailey will have a chance to serve another six years at the pie counter in Washington. Well, Josigh is a pretty good fellow, despite the fact . that he voted to legalize the sale of liquor throughout North Carolina in 1933 . Thousands of preachers wouldn’t vote for Al Smith In 1928 because they said he was wet, but it seems that most of them voted for Josiahon June 6th, despite bis wet ness. Just A Habit. The Davie Record comes through with its seasonal appeal to overdue subscribers: . , The blackberry crop looks more promising and these juicy berries will be ready to harvest within the riext-t wo weeks. If our subscribers will call or send us what they are due us, we will be able to buy the sugar and crusts that it takes to go with these delicious berries. Don’t hesitate, but send or bring us a dol­ lar or two this week. Wehave come to look forward to this summer solicitation by Bro. Stroud, because of its pertinence and reasonableness. Surely if an editor Is willing to pick his own black­ berries, his debtors ought to kick in with the sugar-and crusts. . But we are confident the Record is ieally jesting this time. What with the new deal and its PWA1 WPA1 CCC1 etal., coupled with a red hot' primary productive of so much political advertising, surely the Record is sitting pretty as re gards cash income. It was, we sus­ pect, habit and nothing but which . caused the insertion of the foregoing paragraph-. Why, we. have no idea that Mocksville will not be given a new postoffice-and perhaps a swimming pool between now and Christmas. Greensboro News. . We wish to assure the Greensboro .News that ouriappial for funds is not a habit as he .seems to think, but a due.necessity. - - As to the swimming pool and the new postoffice, which we are likely: to get between now and Christmas this is just a pipe dream.- Seems that we were promised a swimming _ pool a year or two ago, and a hard surface street through South Mocks- ville, but they failed to materialize. Harry Hopkins may have heard that Daviegoes a thousand majority Republican. About all we have managed toget out of the New Deal was a few jobs for hungry demo­ crats who didn’t need the money ha’f as bad as they thought they did. Here’s hoping that it won’t be long until we all land with Landon and that the alphabet will be taught in the schools and eliminated from the White House. Hoey Is Nominated. Clyde Hoey defeated Dr. Ralph McDonald for governor’ in the run­ off primary last-Saturday by a ma­ jority of more than 50 ,000 , with re­ turnshot all In yet, Davie county gave-Hoey a majority of 541 , all of the precincts in the county going machine except Farmington and East Shady Grove In the race for lieutenant gover­ nor, W. P. Horton seems to have defeated Paul Grady by a small ma­ jority. For secretary of state Thad Eure has a substantial majority over Stacy Wade, present encumbent. Davie gave Horton and Eure a two to one vote over their opponents. In Forsyth county Ernie Shore defeated Gny Scott, for sheriff, by more than 700 majority. This was a. big surprise to the ring. Beautiful Country Church. * On Sunday, June 14th, it was the privilege of The Record editor to attend the dedicatory services at Sandy'Springs Baptist church, about five miles west of Sheffield, in Iredell county. This church was organized in 1840 and is one of the oldest churches in that section. During this nearly one hundred years, the members of this congte gation have built four churches. The present structure was finished in 1932 , and is one of the prettiest rural churches to be found in this section. The building is of brick, and the large auditorium or main church, seats about 500 people. There are 14 modern Sunday school rooms, and the"entire building is electric lighted. There are a num­ ber of memorial windows, and the church is well ventilated, and light­ ed. During this century, Sandy Springs church hashad but eight pastors, among them being Rev. Stanley May, who is now more than 100 years old, and who served as pastor at two different periods. Rev. E. W. Turner, of Mocksville, was pastor of this church for five or six years, and Rev. Mr. Burrus, of Iredell county, was also pastor for sometime. The present pastor. is Rev. George D. Renegar, who is well beloved by his congregation, which numbers about 280 members. The present church building cost about $10 ,900 . The people of that section are proud of this Beautiful edifice, and the dedicatory services were attended by hundreds of peo­ ple. It was a pleasure, for us to meet and mingle with these good people In our neighbor county. R. A. Elam Passes.

I told Mitchell about my conversa­ tion with her, and her words. “She said that she’d be sorry enough to have to tell it That any one might 'have washed out a handkerchief." “But she didn't say where she saw it?” be said quickly, and I said she hadn’t “Can’t Anson be found?” I wanted to know, and be said that of course she'd be found. He seemed to be thinking of some­ thing else as he spoke. “Donahey was allowed to put In all he's got from her —about seeing Mrs. Harriden at eight and the probable time she did the room, and its condition then and about seeing Deck in the hull. . , . He’ll give Anson hell, though, for evading the law." Deck came In at last He came di­ rectly over to us. “Got a cigarette?” he asked casually of Mitchell, and Mitchell offered his case. I was to remember that after­ wards. Then his eyes smiled down at me. “How do you like your first in­ quest, Miss Seton ?’’ “I don't like it at all,” I told him. It seemed ages before the return of that jury. They came at last, filing self-consciously across the stately hall. ' The dining-room fell silent before their appearance, and even the turbu­ lent hall was bushed as the foreman stepped forward and began reading from a paper. In a very formal voice he intoned, “We, the jury, find that the deceased, Nora Harriden, came to her death on the thirteenth of October, nineteen thirty-three, between eight and nine-thirty P. M. through shock and hemorrhage, caused by being hit on the head by a sharp instrument held in the band of person or persons un­ known,” That was all. No names. No recom­ mendation ' of holding any one to the grand jury. Then Donahey rose. The rustlings that had begun In the room ceased abruptly, so did the jubilation In my heart. For he said, “You have heard the finding of the coroner’s jury. That jury Is now dismissed. This case will remain In the hands of the inspector of police until further evidence war­ rants calling in the district attorney of Queen's county. Pending investiga­ tion no witnesses will be allowed, with­ out permission, to leave the premises.” C H A PT E R X Eventually every one quieted down. The sharp outbreak of protests dropped to more considering under­ tones at that phrase, “without permis­ sion.” I overheard the Watkins re­ minding each other that they had meant to stay till Monday anyway, and presently Mrs. Crane's voice was audi­ ble to me, telling them that Dan was staying on too, that he planned to take his wife's body to the cemetery on Monday morning. He wanted only the simplest ceremony at the grave. She said that she and the Hellers were go­ ing with him. • When the main hall had been cleared of all the outsiders the guests streamed out into it again. Behind us. In the dining-room, swift-footed efficiency was setting out the paraphernalia of an­ other buffet luncheon. Every one "reacted from the tensity; laughter kept breaking out, voices ran incautiously high, then, remembering, dropped to undertones that were still lively. ; • I never felt lonelier In my life. ,I wanted some one to talk it over with, and I hadn’t anybody; Deck bad van­ ished into the drawing-room and MitcbeU, too, was nowhere to be seen. Then I heard Deck’s voice, sharp as the crack of a whip. “Damn it all, Donahey, I told you myself that call never went through.. . . Am I to blame because the village telephone girl doesn’t happen to remember that I asked for a New York number?” I could see the back of Deck’s head; he was confronting Donahey over that table Cf notes. I saw Letty Van Al- styn’s brown head, tilted towards him, a Httle on one side. I saw Harriden standing behind her, caught a glimpse of his stony profile. Donahey stated stolidly, “Bessie Am- ermann's got a very good memory, Mr. Deck. It seems queer to us that a man who goes ayray from a dinner table to put In a' long distance caU doesn’t wait to get It—that he goes on upstairs after a lost handkerchief.” I was watching Deck so closely that I saw Clancy the officer touch him, saying something, and Deck, without looking arouhd, drew out a cigarette case from his' pocket, the soft brown leather one I had seen before, and passed It back. Then he said, "Come, Mr. Inspector, don’t pretend yon your self never got tired waiting for a con- section and went off after something “Well”— mumbled Donahey. “Well?” challenged Deck. “Are we going on with this indefinitely? Fm telling you that I’ve got to be back on the job tomorrow or my paper will want you fellows to say why.” I didn’t notice what was happening until I saw the funny look on Clan­ cy’s face. He was holding the ciga­ rette case In his hands and feeling it with slow, investigating fingers. Then he pushed up beside Deck In front of the table. He was dumping out the contents of the case. I saw the cigarettes come out, one after the other, and then, with another shake, something else came rolling out. Instantly the heads closed over it; I couldn’t see what was there. I heard Donahey say, “By God,” In an incredulous voice and Clancy, “Will you look at that?” and then somebody cried sharply, “It’s the diamond!” and Hariden pushed for­ ward. We were all pushing forward. Through the confusion Deck’s voice came, sharp with anger. “I tell you I only picked the thing up again a few minutes ago—I left it about this morning.” I had reached Mitchell now. “Oh, that’s true—don’t you remember he asked you for a cigarette this morn­ ing?” I gasped. “Oh, do get In to them and tell them so!” “Steady on,” Mitchell was murmur­ ing. He put his hand over mine as It gripped his arm. Harriden’s voice dominated the con­ fusion. He stood over Deck like a madman; he looked as If It was all he could do to keep his hands off him. “Nora’s diamond!’’ he hurled at him. ‘The big pendant that was worth the lot . . . So yon hid It out, eh? You dirty thief! Tou dirty killer! By God, we’ve got you — we’ve got you now I” And then Donahey, trying to make him­ self heard, “Mr. Harriden, please—” There was no stopping Harriden. AU the hatred that had been working In the man, all the festering suspicion seething In him since Elkins’ report of fteck's threatening words came out now, like pent-up gall. “You bound! You skunk! Chas­ ing after my wife, making her life mis­ erable with your Importunities. En­ treating her to be ‘compassionate’—to take pity on your ‘love - sick soul’! Soul!” He spat out a vile word. 'Begging to drown yourself In her eyes! . , '. You’ll be drowned In quicklime before I’m through with you!” And Qpck, very straight and stiff, “You’re crazy, Harriden. A man can’t resent Insults from one In your con­ dition.” "Your condition is what will worry you—when they put you In handcuffs and lead you to the death cell—when they drag you, whining and pulling, to the electric chair!” And then Letty. Van Alstyn fainted. She dropped like a stone at Har­ riden’s feet, and he stood there, his fury checked, looking blankly down at her. The faint did not last long; the women kneeling by her were still asking for more air, for water, for cushions, when T heard her voice say­ ing, rather weakly, hut with complete control, “How—silly! But I didn’t eat —much breakfast. I've/ been feeling —faint” She got up very quickly; I saw Harriden go to her side and say some­ thing; she gave him a quick upward glance, then moved away. As if he had forgotten Deck he went heavily after. I stood there, shaken through and through. I turned to Mitchell but he had left me; he was standing beside the table, picking up the abandoned cigarettes. The inspector was saying, his voice unemotional again “This will take some disproving, you know, Mr. Deck.” And the words sent the quick thought to me that the only way to disprove this about Deck was to-prove some­ thing else about some one else. ' I thought of Anson. If that hand­ kerchief I was sure she bad seen had been in Letty Van Alstyn’s room! Letty had fainted. Perhaps she hadn't realized, until that moment, the consequences of throwing that suspi­ cion upon Deck. ,Now, when she was still shaken, was the time to confront her with that handkerchief evidence. . . . If only Anson could be found. . . . She must have come out of hiding by- now. . . . / I ran up the stairs; I took the left- hand branch, so as to pass along the main hall, looking for some maid to question. : The door into the prince’s room was open and looking in, I saw the maid who did my own room, busied about it. Have you seen Anson yet?” I said breathlessly. She stopped on her way to the clos- et with a pair of slippers In her hand. We haven’t seen her, Miss Seton. Not since that time yon were talking with her this morning.” I moved away, thinking I had get­ ter get hold of Mitchell. Then I heard the maid scream. I had never heard such blood-curdling shrieks in my life. Shriek after shriek. My legs stumbled under me as I ran back to her. She was backing hysterically away from the closet, her apron over her head: “What is it? What—” She moaned, “Oh, In- there — In there!” and began shrieking again. I dashed to the closet; the^doorwas- wide and the light from .the room fell into IL Fell upon a pair of shoes, limp, black, low-heeled shoes, lying on their sides out from under a man’s heavy, fur-lined overcoat ' Anson was In the closet. ' Slumped In a little, heap. She-was-cold to my touch. I did not scream. It seemed to me as If I could nev.er make any sound again, but I did, over my shoulder, to the people crowding now.. In back of me. “She’s dead,” I got out huskily. “An­ son’s dead.” CHAPTER XI Anson was dead. '. -. . 'Choked to death and thrust behind one of the prince’s overcoats. Her pretty face was dark and terrible . In congestion. She was rigid in death. She bad been dead five or sis hours they said. The police were already with us; very soon the medical examiner made his appearance, together with Dr. OIliphanL A dazed horror hung over the house. Anson — dead. The second murder. The thing was inexplicable. “There's a manla’c hiding In this house!” the princess declared In ex­ citement. “I have felt it! Ecco—Miss Seton heard him in the night—in her room! A miracle she was not mur­ dered In her very bed!” It was the first expression of be­ lief In my story I had heard from the haughty princess. One of the strangest, most puz­ zling things about It to me was that out of Anson’s stiff, clenched hand the medical examiner had pried a bright brown crescent, set with glittering stones. Letty Van Alstyn’s hair ornament. The broken thing she had thrown away and permitted Anson to carry off—and then demanded back from her. It didn't make sense. She couldn’t have been murdered for its posses­ sion. .or the murderer would have tak­ en It away. And why had she got it back from Miss Van Alstyn? We were a dreadfully shaken group of people. With drawn revolvers the police tramped through room after room, peering behind doors, beneath beds, investigating the basement, the store­ rooms, the laundries, the wine cel­ lar. And there was not a -trace of an invader to be found In that great 8 8 » The Prince Was Most Self-Possessed. house. There was not a clue except the brown crescent, and not a mark on the closet door except the prints of the maid who'found the body. No one had seen Anson alive since the time that I bad talked with her in the hall. Donahey had us herded all togeth­ er again In the drawing room, and he barked his questions at us with the manner of a thoroughly belligerent and bewildered man. "And just what time was that, Miss Seton?” he snapped. I hurried to give an approximation of the time. He summed up, “Well, you’d say It was a little before nine when you saw her? And you were the last person that saw her alive.” “I think the Prince Ranclnl was the last person,” I said quickly, remem­ bering. “She left me to gb back to his room.” Donahey shot one of his gimlet glances up at Bancinl. “How about that, prince?” The prince was most self-possessed, most affable In his reply. “Miss Seton is mistaken—I left before the poor C trl reentered. I passed through the apartment of my wife and whew I came out they were still talking In the hall.” ‘How about that, Miss Seton? He says you were still talking together when he left the premises.” “Well; I didn’t see him.”, was all I could Say.. ‘They were very busy talking,” said the prince with satisfaction. Donahey looked curiously at me. “What were you talking about?” “I was waiting to ask her about whether she had seen any handker­ chief drying on Friday evening. I had noticed that she didn’t volunteer things directly unless she was asked, and Ia hadn't heard that asked.” “Couldn’t you wait for the inquest?” “After" all the things said about me here I think I bad a right to investi­ gate as much as I could to find the! real murderer I” "AU right, all right You were wait­ ing to Investigate. Then what. were her exact words that passed between you?” ' " I * I don’t know why. his - overbearing manner should nave been so infuriat­ ing, but my nerves crisped and I said; a good deal more than I had meant to say In public. “I was waiting to ask her about the handkerchief. She came out of the room, smoothing down her-hair. She said, ‘Those foreigners!’ and then. ‘He can keep hls hands off me.'* Slowly the inspector's gaze shifted towards Ranclni. “Been making passes at her, prince?” Ranclnl smUed boldly back. ' “A pretty maid—” He shrugged. “Anything else?” said Donahey shortly to .me. - “I asked her why she didn’t com­ plain to the princess, and she said that the maid was always wrong. Then she said she’d' have to go back for the towels she had forgotten. I asked her to wait, and we had the talk about the handkerchief.” “What’d she tell you?” “Not a thing. But I /had the very definite Impression that she had some­ thing on her mind. She said she’d tell all she knew downstairs at the Inquest, but she didn’t like to make trouble— ‘any one might have washed' out a handkerchief.’ Then she went back Into the room.' And I don’t think she thought that Prince Rancini had come out of it while w* were talking,” I flung out, “for she looked awfuUy bothered at having to go in again.” My eyes encountered Donahey’s cyn­ ically thoughtful face. I wondered If he was thinking the same thing as I was. Suppose Rancinl had been in the room when Anson returned—sup­ pose he had grabbed her and she had started to scream? In his anger and panic he might have choked her and choked hasder than he meant He was a big fellow. But ticking away, deep down In my mind, was the insistent thought that Anson had known something. Some­ thing about a handkerchief drying on a radiator. Something . that was si­ lenced now forever. The prince had muttered, half an­ gry, half soothing, “That is nonsense! There was nothing ...” “All right, prince,” Donahey agreed. “The girl goes back to your room but you aren’t there—that's your story, and you stick to IL But now some­ time after that, any time In the next hour or so, somebody in that room got hold of her and choked her to death. Now where was everybody for that next hour?” It was hard to discover where ev­ ery one had been during that hour for they had moved about so much. Ran­ clni said he had gone downstairs for a time, then up to the Hellers’ sit­ ting-room on the second floor where he and bis wife had waited with the Kellers and Mrs. Orane for the sum­ mons to the inquest. The only ones who declared they had stayed definite­ ly In their own rooms during the en­ tire time were Alan Deck, Harriden and myself. Harriden stated he had been either In his own room or In his wife's room the entire morning, and that he had heard no disturbance of any kind In the Rancini apartment. “And if I had, I wouldn’t have cared!” Deck said he bad been In his room, but that he-had no proof of it. I could offer no proof,’ either, that I had stayed In my room, after the time the maid had gone to deliver my two notes. I had a bad time over those notes. The, one to Mitchell was easily ex­ plained, but when I admitted that I had written to Alan Deck asking him to come to see me I saw a gleam In Donahey’s eyes. ‘Well, now. Miss Seton, why did you want to see him?” “It was pretty lonely, waiting for that inquest. And since Mr. Harri­ den had linked us In bis accusations, I felt we. had a lot to talk over.” Then he said to Deck, “You didn’t come up this morning, though?” “Didn’t get the letter till too late. The maid had left it for me on the ta­ ble, and I didn’t see It In time. ‘Left it lying—I thought you were In your room all that time?” Deck hesitated. Then he said light­ ly, "Practically all. There were a few minutes when I popped into Mitchell’s room to get some cigarettes.” So it all went on. There was noth­ ing else brought out that seemed to matter. At the last the Inspector con­ centrated on. the subject of Deck's cigarette case, when he thought he had lost it, when he first found It again—In the hall. Deck said, on one of the tables, he couldn’t remember exactly where—and, then, very sud­ denly, as if his mind were making It­ self up, Donahey told the rest of us we were excused and retained Deck for a more private Investigation. Even Mitchell didn’t sit In on that He walked out beside me, looking very, grave. “Tea, Leila?” They were serving tea. The Octo­ ber afternoon had darkened swiftly ; I saw the. butlers drawing the cur­ tains and lighting the lamps. It seemed strange to me that one of those butlers should be Elkins. Elkins, hl's face drawn, going about his tasks se unrevenlingly. No time out for his private grief. In a few mome.nts he was serving us tea. Mitchell and I took It In silence; he was preoccupied, and I know I felt in­ expressibly forlorn. Oh, if I had only known what to say that morning te win the girl’s confidence !

In I Corinthians 1:21-25, Paul sets forth the attitude of the world toward Christ and bis gospel. The one who preaches Christ crucified must expect opposition, and even violent persecu­ tion. This attitude of the world, In­ stead of being a deterrent, should be a spur to activity. 1. Peter Healing the Lame Man (Acts 3:1-11). The place (vv. I, 2). It was at ,the beautiful gate which leads from the outer to the inner court of the temple. This helpless man had been placed at the entrance of the place of worship where he might receive the sympa­ thetic attention' of worshipers. 2. The man (v. 2). This beggar was infirm from his birth. He was hot more than forty years old (Acts 4:22). When he saw Peter and John, he asked alms. 3 .' The method (vv. 3-8). a Gaining the man’3 attention (v. 4), Peter and John commanded him to look on them. He asked for money and got healing. b. Peter commanded him In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to rise and> walk (v. 6), This was the very thing he had been unable to do all his life, but with the command went the ability to do. c. Peter took him by the right hand <v. 7), gave impetus to his faith, not strength to his ankles. 4. The man’s response (v. 8). Strength at once came to him. . He stood, walked, leaped, and shouted- praises to God. 5. The effect (vv. 9-11). The peo­ ple were so filled with wonder that they ran together to behold this thing. There could be no question as to the genuineness of the miracle for the man had been a familiar figure for many years. a. This helpless man had to be car­ ried to the temple. Men and women out of Christ are so helpless that they need to be brought where the life of God can be applied to them. b. Peter, taking the man by the hand, shows the manner of helping the lost. Christian witnesses should bring them to Jesus. II. Peter Witnessing Before the Multitude (Acts 3:12-26). Though this miracle directed the at­ tention of the people to Peter and John, Peter seized the opportunity to present Christ to the people. III. Peter in Prison for Christ’s Sake (Acts 4:1-4). L The leaders. Both priests and Sadducees joined In this persecution (vv. I, 2). The priests were Intolerant because these new teachers were encroaching upon their functions. The Sadducees did not believe In. the resurrection, which was a vital part of the apos­ tolic preaching. 2. The result <w. 3, 4). Though they were held In bondage by chains, Christ continued to work. The num­ ber of believers greatly increased. IV. Peter Witnessing ’ Before the Sanhedrin (Acts 4:5-21). L The inquiry (w . 5-7). The In­ quirers admitted the . reality of the miracle but they wanted to know what it signified. 2. Peter’s answer (w . 8-12). With stinging sarcasm he showed them that they were not' on trial as evildoers, but for doing good In the name .of Christ to the helpless and needy man. 3. The impression upon the San- nedrin (vv. 13-21). a. They marveled (v. 13). They weremade conscious that they were on trial Instead of sitting as judges. , B. They took knowledge that Peter and John had been with Jesus (v.13). c. They forbade them to speak' in qhrist’s name (v. 18). They could not Seny the miracle or gainsay the accu­ sation brought against them, so they attempted intimidation. d- £ eter anfl John’s reply (vv. 19 , 20). They expressed their determina­ tion to obey God rather than men. e. Their release (v. 21) . SeeIngthat <he people were on the side of the apostles, the rulers were helpless. V. The Church at Prayer (vv. 2331) As soon as Peter and John were set free, they hastened to their feUow'dls- ciples and told their experiences./ They praised God for deliverance and OfaGod. b°ldnesS to speafc tbe Word S c r a p s of H um * virtues.” Parading Jlj I SE .* » « £ * { right maj ThT r^ ' Pl4cs I m e r r : Watcha Ihiss^ Owl: Getting a job as ni.u clerk m a summer hotel.

WEBBER Convention Hall, Philadelphia.— “Franklin Delano Roosevelt for Pres­ ident—!” Philadelphia’s monster convention hall rocked as 18,000 delegates and spectators leaped to their feet roar­ ing approval of their standard bearer in the coming election. Xt was a jubi­ lant, spontaneous outburst, the be­ ginning of a demonstration seldom equalled in convention history, and the climax of four days’ waiting by most of the delegates. AU through this rather tame con­ vention, the name of Roosevelt was magic. The somewhat apathetic au­ dience, judged by convention stand­ ards, could be stirred into animation only by the utterance of his name. But the demonstrations on those oc­ casions left nothing to be desired. They were not the carefuUy-man- aged, chairman-directed affairs of other conventions held in the past, but the heartfelt expression of people to whom the Democratic candidate is the hope of country and party. Up would rise the State standards as chairman, delegates and alternates swarmed into the aisles—a cheering, dancing, singing throng. The giant organ and the brass band perched high on the west side of the conven­ tion haU would be drowned out in the tumult—and the convention chair­ man held helpless until the demon­ strations finally would wear them­ selves out. Is Colorful Scene AU the usual trimmings of a na­ tional poUtical convention were on hand at Philadelphia. The approach to the convention haU cluttered with the customary army of hawkers of novelties which ranged aU the way from souvenir buttons to pseudo­ brass horns—the milling mob of on­ lookers anxious for a glimpse of the great and near great—badges, badges, everywhere, and more badges—aU were there. Inside the haU a shouting singing, laughing crowd filling every seat— great spotUghts playing over the scene—telegraph boys rushing copy from the press sections where per­ spiring newspaper workers toUed at the task of catching the next edition movie cameramen—news photog­ raphers swarming over the hall—in­ tent radio workers—the gaUy dec­ orated platform — pictures of the candidates—State standards—micro­ phones—flags and bunting—the blar­ ing brass band and the rumbling or­ gan that never quite get together on any tune—the wUd applause when­ ever Dixie is played—a typical con­ vention scene. Platform Holds Interest There was no doubt as to the final nominations—-or that the convention would unanimously endorse the New Deal. It was Franklin D. Roosevelt and John N. Gamer in a unanimity that has not been accorded a Demo­ cratic ticket since Cleveland was nominated. Since there were no other candi­ dates^ chief Jnterest was centered in the platform and in the abrogation of the Democratic party’s two-thirds rule which has governed nbmrna- tions since the party was founded. The platform was completed only after a 13-hour session of the sud - committee held behind closed doors. Chief difficulty was in evolving a satisfactory wording of the party stand on the constitutional amend­ ment issue. Full pressure of radical groups was brought to bear, but with out effect. The final draft omitted this flat declaration, but left the question largely open to whatever action might be taken by party leaders dur­ ing the coming campaign. Formation of this plank was one of the events that did not run according to schedule. Anticipating difficulty only from the conservative quarter, Senator Robert Wagner of New York, had selected as members of the draft­ ing group six New Deal Senators, one ex-Senator, two administration of­ ficials, two delegates with liberal tendencies, and Senator David L Walsh of Massachusetts, the only con­ servative, but one who is sufficiently practical to recognize the overwhelm­ ing odds of 11 to I. Proceedings Strike Snag But something struck a snag. Weary news hawks watched through the night outside the room where the sub-committee was meeting. Finally at.5 o’clock in the morning, the doors swung open and the members, obvi­ ously exhausted after the session, filed out in grim silence. Even Sena­ tor Wagner, who is usually very courteous, was inclined to be curt. Final accord was reached in the after­ noon session. The final form of the platform puts the party on record as favoring amendment of the constitution if JOHN N. GARNER necessary for the enactment of Fed­ eral or State laws “adequately to regulate commerce, protect public health and safety and safeguard eco­ nomic security.” It is understood that President Roosevelt desired to win from the committee a plank sufficient­ ly vague in its language to permit him either to advocate or ignore the issue surrounding the adoption of such an amendment. Ignore Labor Demand Other points in the platform which had been awaited With deep mterestli particularly those dealing with agri­ culture and with labor, were left equally open to future action by party leaders. The section on agriculture pledges a continuance of soil con­ servation and domestic allotment programs, recognizes “the evils of farm tenancy” and pledges the full co-operation of the government in long term refinancing of farm indebt­ edness at the lowest possible rates of interest, and encourages practical farm co-operatives. _ The labor plank was something of a surprise to many who had looked for a more definite declaration. After pointing out various New Deal ac­ complishments, the plan reads: “We will continue to protect the worker and we will guard his rights, both as wage earner and consumer, in the production and consumption 01 all commodities including coal ana water power and other natural re- source products.” .A demand from organized labor that the party agree to support a con­ stitutional demand which would in­ validate any Supreme Court decision 'that was not arrived at by at leas! a six to three vote, fell on barren soil. However, it is considered as fairly certain that President Roosevelt will deal more specifically with these questions in his forthcoming cam­ paign. The way has been left com­ pletely open for action by the candi­ date without him being bound by specific hampering platform declara­ tions. Promise Public Works Determination to proceed with .the public works program in dealing with unemployment is also voiced by the party declaration. More than five million people have been re-em­ ployed, according to .the ,platform, but where private business is unable to cope with the problem, work pre­ vailing wages should be provided in cooperation with state and local gov- ernments on useful public projects. There was much speculation as to what would be the exact wording of the plank dealing with civil service. ,The Cleveland convention had brought this issue into prominence, and it was necessary that the Demo­ cratic party express its views on the subject. Immediate extension of the merit system through the classified civil service to all non-policy-making positions in the Federal service was pledged. The party also declared for placing all continuing positions which have been exempt from its operation under the civil service law. Protection of consumer, extension of rural electrification, continuance of the housing program, enforcement of criminal and civil provisions of the existing anti-trust laws, and strength­ ening of the latter by new legisla­ tion were also pledged. Rumors Run Riot The question of sound money came in for its share of the rumors. Guesses, most of which came from “authorita­ tive sources” ranged from unrestrict­ ed inflation to an immediate return to the gold standard were rife. The final platform draft states that while the party approves of a permanently sound currency so' stabilized as to prevent wide fluctuations in value, it believes in a currency which will “permit full utilization of the coun­ try’s resources'.” Reduction in govern­ ment expenses which will eventually permit a balanced budget and reduc- tion of the national debt were also pledged. Best received of the convention speeches in the opinion of many was the keynote address of Senator Alben W. Barkley of Kentucky. His excoria­ tion of the Republican party and praise of the New Deal accomplish­ ments was genuine political oratory Which combined all the arts of sar- casm, humor, logic and pathos in a skillful blend which aroused the au­ dience to wild enthusiasm. He cen­ tered, his attack on the record of the Republican party during ,the twelve jrears ^jrior to 1932, the policies of Herbert Hoover while in office, and the Liberty League. Little mention was made by him of the current Re­ publican candidates. Scores Landon The latter task was left for Senator Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas, who spoke in the role of a delegate-at- large instead of that of permanent chairman. Delay in the report of the credentials committee was responsi­ ble for this unusual change. Robinson charged that Landon is preparing to bolt the Republican platform, citing his famous telegram to the Cleveland convention which he pointed out, was sent only after the nomination was assured. Robinson also scored the Su­ preme Court for its ruling invalidat­ ing the Guffey soft coal control law and New York State’s minimum wage law. The only real trouble within the convention hall came when a group in the gallery displayed banners pro­ claiming Al Smith as a real Demo­ crat. No sooner had the banners been unfurled than fist fights broke out in the sections where the Al Smith ban­ ners were exhibited. Order was quickly restored, and most of the dis­ senting group left the halL Mack Nominates Roosevelt Enthusiasm in the convention hall reached its maximum Friday when Judge John E. Mack of New York placed the name of Franklin D. Roosevelt in nomination. The dele­ gates let loose a delirium of sound that almost tore the top off the sound meter which stood at the left of the stage. The demonstration which fol­ lowed made all previous affairs of this kind look weak. It was a genuine tribute to a party leader. John Nance Gamer, Texas idol,, was nominated for the office of Vice- President on Saturday morning by a jubilant, yelling convention. Ten gallon hats sailed through the air as the Texbs delegation whooped it up for the State’s favorite son. Gamer is genuinely popular with the rank and file of the Democratic party, and the convention left no doubt about i t But even this demonstration did not compare with that of Saturday night when Roosevelt delivered his acceptance speech at Franklin Field, huge stadium of the University of Pennsylvania. AR through the week the demand for tickets to this event had far exceeded the supply, and when Rposevelt mounted the plat­ form the big bowl was packed. As he took his place at the speaker’s stand, the famous Roosevdt smile showed brightly, but to those dose enough to see there seemed to be more than pleasure mirrored in the nominee’s face. When the crowd gave.fuH.vent to its ddight in their chosen leaden:, if there was a shade of mistiness in Roosevdt’s eyes, he could hardly be blamed. No man could receive such a tribute and remain untouched. >411 >4round 5 ____A Charming Sports Frock ' yoke will enable you to “bear your burdens” Ughtly.

By EDWARD W. PICKARD © Western Newspaper Union. President Roosevelt PRESIDENT F R A N K L IN D. 1 ROOSEVELT was renominated by the Democratic convention in Philadelphia in a demonstration of great popular ac­ claim. T h e convention unanimously B adopted a s t r o ng 8 New Deal platform H and voted the abo­il lition of the his- ^ -j-— I toric two-thirds rule. The sessions were H n M n . I marked with ex- M B jh treme enthusiasm. Party harmony and a determination to stand militantly on the administration’s record in the past three years and present a united front in the coming cam­ paign characterized the convention. The abolition of the two-thirds rule for the nomination of candi­ dates was one of the significant achievements. This rule, which has been in use for more than 100 years, was superseded by the adop­ tion of the rules committee’s report recommending that at future con­ ventions only a bare m ajority be required for nomination. While some southern and the eastern and western states opposed abrogation, they were reconciled to it by the committee’s rcommendation that changes be m ade in the apportion­ ment of delegates. The platform pledged continu­ ance of soil conservation, benefit payments to farm ers, a sound cur­ rency, a balanced budget and a constitutional amendment if neces­ sary, to achieve the party’s broad social program. It praised the ac­ complishments of the New Deal in a preamble, declaring that it planned to continue them in the in­ terest of the nation. The platform’s keynote was that the Roosevelt ad­ ministration has put and will keep the nation “on the road to recovery and prosperity.” Regarding the Constitution, the platform declared that while the Re­ publican platform proposes to m eet national problems by action of the separate states, the Democratic party recognizes that minimum wages, maximum hours, child la­ bor, monopolistic and unfair busi­ ness practices, dust storms, drouth and floods could not be handled by states. It stated: “If these problems cannot be effectively solved -by legislation within the Constitution, we shall seek such clarifying amendments as will assume to the legislatures of the several states and to the congress of the United States each within it proper jurisdiction, the power to enact those laws which the state and federal legislatures within their respective spheres shall find necessary, in order ade­ quately to regulate commerce, pro­ tect public health and- safety and safeguard economic security. Thus we propose to maintain the letter and spirit of the Constitution.” In addition to soil conservation and benefit payments, the farm plank pledged the Democrats to financing share-croppers and ten­ ants in buying lands; favored com­ modity loans on farm surpluses and retirem ent of ten million acres of submarginal land from produc­ tion and rural rehabilitation. Reiterating the “good neighbor” policy, the foreign relations plank reaffirmed the party’s neutrality program pledged to keep the na­ tion out of foreign entanglements. It reasserted the reciprocal. tariff policy, but demanded “adequate” protection to farm ers and manu­ facturers against unfair foreign competition. Dehquncing monopolies and con­ centration of economic power, the platform declared that the admin­ istration would “vigorously and fearlessly enforce the criminal and civil provisions of the existing anti­ trust laws.” - Other planks pledged: Expansion of the social security program- continuance of rural electrification; protection of the rights of labor to bargain collectively; extension of federal housing projects; just treat­ m ent of war veterans and their de­ pendents; extension of the m erit system through classified civil service; freedom of speech, press radio, religion and assembly; pro­ jection of public works projects to aid unemployment; opposition to Commtmism and the “the menace of concealed Fascism. 'T 1HE specter of drouth stalked in the Northwest. Damage to crops on heat-parched farm s in South Da­ kota, North Dakota, Wyoming and Montana caused great concern and recalled the disastrous drouth con­ ditions of two years ago. Railroads serving the drouth areas agreed again to place emer­ gency . freight rates into effect on live stock" shipments to other graz­ ing areas. Wheat and corn crops have suffered severe damage, re­ ports indicate. In Washington, a relief program for the drouth-stricken northwest states was mapped out by Relief Administrator Harry L. Hopkins. Work relief projects designed to give work at once to 5,000 farm ers in the Dakotas and parts of Wyo­ ming and Montana, whose crop lands have been laid waste for the seventh consecutive year, were planned. In the Middle West the fact that June of 1936 has been cooler than the sam e month two years ago has offset the serious effects of lack of rain. Figures on June rainfall for 1936 and 1934 compiled by Nat C. Murray, crop authority of Chicago, showed that Ohio had 39 per cent of normal this year and 90 per cent in 1934; Minnesota 46 per cent in 1936 and 92 per cent in 1934; Mis­ souri 26 per cent in 1936 and 62 per cent in 1934; and Kansas 37 per cent in 1936 and 65 per cent in 1934. Added to the seriousness of the drouth situation was a plague of grasshoppers that swept over east­ ern Nebraska, threatening to de­ stroy hundreds of square miles of crops. The swarm was reported to be 100 miles long. In spots the in­ sects were said to be so numerous that they hid the sun as they passed over valuable farm lands. JtAEETING in Montreaux, Switz­ erland, an international con­ ference sought settlement of mili­ tary^ and naval, problems in the Mediterranean. The conference had been called by the powers as a re­ sult of Turkey’s request to fortify Ihe Dardanelles, which were demil­ itarized under Uie Lausanne treaty of 1923. The possible thrept Of Russia’s growing naval strength caused an alignment of the British and Jap­ anese Japan announced it was willing to accept any limitation on Japanese warships authorized to enter the Black sea, providing simi­ lar restrictions were placed on Rus­ sian warships leaving it. Britain was believed to be supporting Ja­ pan’s position. Russia demanded free westward passage of warships and subma­ rines out of the Black sea through the Dardanelles, adding she was unable to see why other powers not bordering on this body of water de­ sired unlimited passage to it. Be­ cause of her m utual assistance pact with the Soviet, France was ex­ pected to side with Russia. D EPRESENTATIVE WILLIAM LEMKE of North Dakota an­ nounced that he would rim for the Presidency as candidate of a new p o litical group known as the Union p a rty . Father. Charles E. Coughlin, Detroit priest, is the leading sponsor of Lemke’s candidacy. T hom as Charles O’Briqn of Boston will be the vice pres­ idential candidate on the ticket, it was an- Rep-Lemke ntT ce?" ,. r. Mr. Lemke made public a 15-point platform embody­ ing demands for refinancing of farm mortgages, old age security, a liv­ ing wage for all workers, limitation on individual incomes, the estab­ lishment of a central bank, the is­ suance by congress of all currency and its regulation of the value of all the money. Plans were m ade for the new party to hold a national convention some tim e during August. Mr. Lemke said the Union party has the support of farm unions, la­ bor, the National Union for Social Justiceestablished by FatherCough- lin, the Townsend old age pension movement and “all other liberals Who have been driven from the old parties." A RTHUR W. CUTTEN, who achieved spectacular wealth as a grain trader, died of a heart at­ tack in his home in Chicago, He was sixty-five years old. An exponent of individualism, Mr. Cutten went his way alone in the gram m arket, playing his hunches against, the field. In 1924, he made a profit estimated at between $1,500,000 and $2,000,000 in a corner on the com m arket. He repeated his success with a coup in the wheat m arket the follow in g year. With a group of associates, he en­ tered the stock m arket in 1928 and during the boom months m ade mil- lions of.dollars. Most of his life Mr. Cutten' was a “long” trader, who boughVfor the rise in the m arket, but follow ing the crash, he is said to have be­ come a ‘ bear” or short seller. His operations as a bear in the Chicago Board of Trade brought his suspen- sion by" the grain futures adminis­ tration for two years, but he 'won a reversal of this ruling in the Unit­ ed States Supreme court. THE death of Bernhard W. von Buelow, secretary of state fpr foreign affairs in the Hitler cabinet, removed one of the most skilled of Europe’s diplomats. Von Buelow, who was fifty-one, was an expert on the. League of Nations and gave his country valuable counsel when Germany began to consider rejoin­ ing the league. He was noted as a studious and hard-working official, with a vast amount of detailed in­ formation always readily available. A “blueblood” of the German no­ bility, the diplomat was-a nephew of the late Prince Bernhard von Buelow, imperial chanceller. He was one of the first of the German nobles to associate himself with tlje Republican regime after the collapse of the empire in 1918. Al­ though. different in background from Hitler, he nevertheless en­ joyed the chancellor’s confidence. In diplomatic circles it was re­ garded as likely that Dr. Hans Dieckhoff, chief of the political de­ partm ent of the foreign office, will succeed Buelow • as secretary of state. In Russia, Maxim Gorky, early foe of the czars who became a hero of the Soviet regim e and its outstand- •ing writer, died of influenza at the age of sixty-eight. Although not a m em ber of the Communist party, Gorky had a pre-eminent position in Soviet life and was a former m em ber of the central executive committee. Moscow honored him with a public funeral and interm ent in the Kremlin in a niche facing Lenin’s tomb. Under the.czars, Gorky was jailed on m any occasions for his inflam­ m atory writings. His revolutionary attitude was expressed in his pen name. Maxim Gorky means “The Bitter One” in Russian. The au­ thor was considered Soviet Russia’s greatest propagandist. His real name was Alexis Maximovitch Pyeshkov. Stanley Baldwin used - onljf the United Fo llo w in g the lead of Great Britain, the United States for­ mally revoked all sanctions im­ posed against Italy during the re­ cent Italo-Ethiopian conflict. A proclama­ tion by President Roosevelt ,declared all previous com­ munications dealing with the sale of mu­ ttons of war, loans and travel by Amer­ icans on Italian ships was revoked: Although the sanc­ tions were against both Italy and Ethi­ opia, in practical ap­ plication they were against Italy, since States did not ,supply the Afirican nation with any w ar m aterials and the empire of Haile Selassie had rio ships of its own. The French cabinet agreed to abide by any action which the League of Nations m ay take in can­ celing sanctions against Italy. The British government’s decision to abandon sanctions was defended in an address by Prim e Minister Baldwin as the only .alternative which would prevent a suicidal war plunging western civilization into “barbarous anarchy.” 'T 'H E Seventy-fourth congress ad- journed after a session lasting five and a half months during which it appropriated nearly $10 ,000 ,000 ,- 000 and was faced by some unex­ pected legislative complications. In the closing hours the emer­ gency tax bill which is expected to produce $800,000,000 in revenue was passed. Supreme court invalidation of the AAA and Guffey coal bills and the passage of the cash sol­ diers’ bonus over the President’s veto upset the budget plans and m ade such a bill necessary. Although it was passed by the house, the amended Guffey coal bill designed to remove the objections of the Supreme court failed of pas­ sage In the senate. Similarly the Waigner slum housing bill, which had passed the senate, failed in the house. ■ Larger than norm al appropria­ tions for governmental activities weTe passed. The bonus, farm pay­ ments, relief and the greatest na­ tional defense program in peace tim e history helped swell the total. Funds for continuing the" present relief program were voted; the public worksi revolving fund was amended to perm it more heavy construction projects. But congress failed to approve the Florida ship canal and Passamaquoddy tide dam. . Invalidation of the AAA brought a revised and expanded soil con­ servation and domestic allotment act; the rural electrification admin­ istration and electric farm and home authority were bbth placed on a perm anent basis; Uie Com­ modity Credit corporation.was ex­ panded; two flood control bills were passed. Labor received attention through the Walsh-Healy bill deal­ ing with working conditions on government contracts. .A compro­ mise ship subsidy bill was rushed through in the closing hours. Finan­ cial legislation included ’ expansion of the jurisdiction of SEC. A number of important bills failed of enactment. Among these were the Pettingill long and short h=.Tic bill, stockyard regulation, - Frazier- Lemke farm mortgage bill, and bills on the 30-hour week, extension of the railroad co-ordinator’s ten­ure, anti-war profits, alien deporta­ tion, enlargement of the federal trade commission’s power and treasury agency service. National Topics Interpreted by William Bruclart Natlonat Press BulMlns Washington.—The Republicans and the Demqcrats have their Presi­ dential tickets. The AU Set for elephant and the Bie Race donkey have their jockeys for the cam­ paign. The tumult and the shouting —and the blistering, withering fire of politics, have begun. It is a long way to the finish line where the checkered flag falls for the winner of the race. But the big fight is really on and it is interesting as well as significant to note how it has started. It is always a sure sign that party leaders respect and fear their oppo­ nents when they start a campaign with a declaration that the enemy is weak; that his selection resulted from chicanery or bossism, or that the par­ ticular candidate selected has. been put up as a sacrifice. That is what has happened already in the current campaign, and you can expect it to continue because it is stating no se­ cret to disclose that the New Dealers fear Gov. Alf H. Landon of Kansas, the Republican nominee, and that the Republican leadership, beneath tBfe surface, are wishing for a clairvoyant or crystal gazer to tell them how much of a chance they have to beat President-candidate Franklin D. Roosevelt. Of course, no astute political ob­ server would dare predict at this stage of the game who the winner will be. On the other hand, It Is part of the psychology of the game of politics for politicians to claim every­ thing In sight Yet, I know that each side expects a real battle, a horse race. The November result; is pretty likely to be determined by events of the next two months. At the end of that time, trends will be evident and some appraisal of the campaign will be possible. In the interim, claims and high sounding phrases will be of­ fered by the basketful and enthusiasm will be promoted. Yet, the end, the result, will not begin to be evident until afterward because this Is the season for the tumult and shouting. I cannot concur In the claims al­ ready advanced by Postmaster Gen- eral-Chairman Farley that the elec­ tion is in the bag for Mr. Roosevelt any more than I can believe that Chairman John Hamilton of the Re­ publicans is equipped. with special foresight enabling him’ to say that Governor Landon is a sure winner. I said above that the campaign has all of the appearance of a horse race and a close one. To that extent it is a condition much more favorable to the Republicans than obtained three months ago when, as I recall, I sug­ gested that if the election were held at that time, Mr. Roosevelt had a 60- 40 advantage over anybody the Ropnb- llcans could name. To say now, there­ fore, that the race probably will be close necessarily indicates two things: unification of Republican strength, and some mistakes by the Democratic lead­ ership (one may properly inquire what has brought about the unifica­ tion of the Republicans). The answer seems rather obvious. It is that the Republican party has begn reorgan­ ized from tip to >e. The reorganiza­ tion has been sweeping and more effective and the result much more satisfactory to the country than most political observers had any reason to expect I say “satisfactory to the country” because the Republican party IS' a major political unit and, though at. present a minority party, will come back to power some time. The Demo­ crats have been a minority party, and the conrse of human events has wit­ nessed it restored to power. ‘ So the people have a stake in either party, and whichever one proceeds to im­ prove its political structure is giving something of vital value to the coun­ try as a whole. * • * The Democratic attack on the Re­ publicans for the last sixteen years /-/i d bas been concen-u . v . r . trated to a large ex- CleanaHouse tout on the charge that the Republic-* ans were boss-controlled. Farley has continually harped on that alleged condition. When the Repub­ licans did their house cleaning job at Cleveland, they took away an impor­ tant issue from the Democrats M t even so some of the Democrats and some independents, like Senator George Norns of Nebraska, refused to ao. cept the purging as genuine. Senator Norris disclosed his attl. tude very definitely the other day bT c^ t a radio speech. He employed the time-worn allegation that the Cleveland convention was S E ? tto sdJ V spedal tateW and that the platform adopted there was plainly reactionary.” Senator Norris has not supported a Repoaican candidate for 12 yeaVs n, though he ran for re-election si! v ^ s ago. as a Republican n* • 8 Mr. RooseveU T d \ J £ a^ ltaIesJ n T i r 1tOaJ T C“ Save the Country Roosevelt will L ™ st ° 2 * ^ LaFollettes, “J * ernor Phil, in Wisconsto ™ •Gov' however, have labeled «, men- Progressives, and have T mselves 88 Party label d r e ijw T ried thc Pr Republicans Democrats Ttere will be others of the same W a sh in g to n , D . C, warp and woof. There will be old- line Democrats who will do as Sen­ ator Copeland of New York has done, take a walk, Alfred E. Smith is not going to support the New Dealers nor will a great many of his followers. So, it is obvious that each party will be subjected to defections of one kind or another.• • * Now, concerning mistakes .that have been made: Chairman Farley made a bad mis­ take politically when he said that Al­ fred M. Landon was S o m e **jnst the little- M isfahea known governor of a typical prairie state.” That remark has been rising to haunt the Democratic chairman al­ most daily since it escaped from his lips, and unless I miss my guess he will hear it repeated, thrown into his teeth, so many times between now and November that the words will give him a stomachache equivalent to green apples. The reasons this remark was a se­ rious blunder are two. First'and fore­ most is that every state In the Union rightfully has justified pride of Its people, its commerce and industry and its future prospects. Every state feels profound resentment when its ca­ pacity to do great things is questioned. Consequently, when Mr. Farley cata­ logued Kansas as a typical- prairie state and its governor as little-known, there was a surging tidal wave of re­ sentment, and it was not confined to Kansas alone. The sebond reason why Mr. Farley’s remark cut the wrong way was that Mr. Farley is a New Yorker and a Tammanyite. There Is something re­ pulsive to the millions of mid-west­ erners about Tammany, and a very great many residents of prairie states long have objected to the attempt of certain New Yorkers to “run things” for the whole United States. Another mistake that has been made, really a series of mistakes, is the coercion that has been permitted to go on among those receiving relief. It is not exactly fair to charge Mr. Farley and President Roosevelt with these, yet I am inclined to believe they could have prevented local Democratic politicians from attempt­ ing to force relief cUents to vote the Democratic ticket. That condition has obtained in as many as fifteen states. It is one of those things In politics that naturally causes a revulsion of feeling, yet It is one of those things with which the leaders possibly may have had nothing directly to do. The fact that they might have prevented it and did not is accepted by the average voter in exactly the same light as though a written order direct­ ing such procedure had been Issued. -The handling of the tax question by the administration in this session of congress has not been of a character warranting too much praise. It has alienated many influential persons who might otherwise have supported Mr. Roosevelt Of course, in the end the President can say that he wanted additional funds in order to start the balancing of the national budget, but 1 know of a great number of Demo­ crats In congress who have been thor­ oughly displeased by the White House insistence for a reform tax law rath­ er than a revenue law. It seems to me, therefore, that a considerable amount of campaign material will be developed from this fact. And so it goes with Democratic mis­ takes. • • On the other side of the picture, the Republicans can make mistakes yet, • n ’ plenty of them. CJit! th e They have an ad- O th e rH a n d vantage over the Democrats in one regard; they have hot been charged with the responsibility of government for the last three and one-half years; and therefore will not have to answer for mistakes in administration. It lies In the hands of the Republican managers, therefore; to prevent po­ litical mistakes between now and elec­ tion if they are capable of so doing. They have started out with an offen­ sive campaign and have an opportu­ nity to continue it, whereas the Dem­ ocrats can conduct an offensive cam­ paign only so_ long as they can avoid entering into a defense of Roosevelt New Deal policies. I understand that the DemocraUc national committee is loaded to the dashboard with material for attack, but from this stage of the battle it seems quite apparent that they are going to need plans for defense as wen as offense, and they will not have enthusiastic support from some spots In their own army. * ^ he Democrats ai^ prepared, to at- S0vern0r Dandon on the theory that, the conntry cannot fed sure of his plans and poHcies; that he has done nothing to enable the conntry to appraise him and that there is no as­ surance, in event of his election, that 2 ,.

Decisions Save the Constitution Court Rulings Show How New Deal Plans Its Attack. ! How the Roosevelt administra- jtion has exerted constant and care- Ilully directed pressure to change !the American form of government (is shown by a review of the Su- j p r e m e Court decisions of the last Itwo years. These changes have not been sought by amendments to the Constitution. The administra­ tion has attempted to “build up !new instruments of public power (without asking the people for the (right to do so. ; In addition to usurping powers, the record shows, the administra­ tion has sought to create powers which are in conflict with the Con­ stitution. It has done this through the passing of numerous laws held to have a “desirable object” and a presumably strong popular ap­ peal. After the Supreme Court ruled these laws invalid the ad­ ministration systematically A - sumed the attitude that the Su­ preme Court and the Constitution had thwarted the will of the peo­ ple. The Constitution is the supreme law of the land. In its framework are three fundamentals. The fed­ eral and state governments have separate powers. Federal power is distributed among the legisla­ tive, executive and judicial depart­ ments. None may encroach upon jthe powers of the others. Guaran-. (ties of personal liberties constitute • another fundamental. AU of these !three pillars of the American sys- item of government have been at­ tacked by the administration. Checked by Court ! : In defense of the American form of government the Supreme Court, ■passing upon New Deal Iawt;, has !held: I I. That practically unlimited i legislative power was delegated ; "to the Executive, thereby de- I stroying the protection afforded ' ■by the distribution of power in ' coordinate departments as pro- j -vided in the Constitution. 2. That Federal authority was exerted in fields reserved under the Constitution to the States to the extent of “obliterating” the States and breaking down our I system of a Federal union of I autonomous states. Local self- ! government has been imperiled. I 3. That individual liberties guar- I anteed in the Bill of Rights were j encroached upon. ; '4. That the taxing power has . been expanded into an instru- J ment of coercion and a means of ; effectuating social and economic i control. ! A review of all the cases in !which the Supreme Court has held Iacts of Congress or their applica­ tion to be unconstitutional indicates ithat at no other period of the his- itory of the United. States has there jbeen ^uch a concerted attack upon •the American form of government {as under the New Deal. It is fair •to say that none of the acts held I unconstitutional by- the Supreme I Court, prior to the New 'Deal was (the result of any conceived ijlan to iundermine or destroy the Constitu­ tio n of the United States. I List of CasesJ* In fourteen cases, laws or their !application hayg been held uncon­ stitutional during the Roosevelt ad­ ministration. In eight of the cases (two cases affecting the AAA be­ ing considered as one) important laws enacted under the New Deal were declared unconstitutional while Jn two others the applica­ tion of m ajor laws was held to be !unconstitutional. The four other !cases were of minor importance, ; two of them having to do’ with laws ■enacted under previous administra­ tions. I The eight m ajor cases in which [New Deal laws were held uncon- jstitutional were those of the NRA, ithe “hot oil!-’ case, the Guffey Bi- ituminous Coal Act, the AAA, the !abrogation of the gold clause in !government obligations, the Rail- iroad Retirement Act and the Farm I Mortgage Act and the Municipal iBankrupt Act. The two chief leases involving an unconstitutional (application of New Deal acts af- !fected the Seciurities Act and the .Home Owners’ Loan Corporation I Act. In two other cases not in­ volving the constitutionality of !laws, the Humphrey case and the I Parker Dam case, New Deal poli- icies were disapproved by the Su- jpreme Court. I Contrary to the popular impres- jsion, only a relatively few acts, of (Congress have been held to be un- (constitutional by five-to-four votes. (Out of 79 decisions, the total of leases since the foundation of our jgbvernment in which federal laws !Q r ,.Iiteir application have been held jto "Se urtconstitutiqnal by five-to- Iour voles is only 11. Among the jcas^s decided during the present !administration only two—those af- jfecting the Railroad Retirement Act land the Municipal Bankruptcy Act L-were by a five^to-four vote. The decision in the. NRA case, was unanimous, while those in .the AAA 'and Guffey Coal Act cases were }>y vo^es of oix to three.- Champion Hypocrite. Senator Norris, th e Nebraska traitor who is a Republican only during election years when'he wants to get his name oi> the Republican ballot so that he can be re?elected to the Senate is out in a dWunciation of Governor Landon-and says he is a man “nobody knows.” At the same time the old Nebraska traitor espous es the causes of Roosevelt and says he will vote for him again this year. This is nothing new. He voted for Roosevelt in 1932 and in 1928 he- re- f jsed to support the Republican nominee, Herbert Hoover and voted and worked for Al Smith. We can­ not understand the workings of the Nebraska Republican party. Whv don’t they show this old traitor the door and refuse to allow his name to appear on a Repubi/can ballot? Let the Democrats nominate him if they want to but for goodness sake refuse him admittance into the Republican camp. The party would be much butter off to have a straightout Democrat in the Senate than to have this old traitor masquerading as a Republican.—Ex.

We don’t like what Senators Brr clay and Rabinson had to. say a- bout the Supreme Court of the United States at the Democratic convention. What did they mean by their somewhat scurrilous comments con cerning the highest tribunal of our country? Did they meau that the Supreme Court should be done way with? Did they intend to fer that the present Court is com­ posed of men who are incapable of handling down proper decisions? Did they seek to reflect against the character and integrity of the men who compose the Court? - The American people would like to know the answers to those ques­ tions. Of course. It is apparent to every body what prompted Senator Bar clay and Robinson to criticise the court so vigorously at the Demo- cratic convention. Presulent Roose velt sponsored the NRA and the AAA. - The Supreme Court ruled that both of these groups were un constitutional.' That meant, in' a way, that Democratic party. And to contradict the opinion of Presi­ dent Roosevelt is regarded as rank heresy by some individuals—Sena­ tor Barclay, and Robinson among them. For: their benefit—and fot the benefit-of anyone else who is Tnter- ested—we don’t mind confessing 5. 1936-NUMBER 51 Federal Old-Age Received By 635,006 : Persons.

Frank Knox, of Chicago, R- publican vice presidential nominee addressing a public .rally in hono at" his honor, at bis native city of Manchester, N. H„ pledged himself to support six points of governmen­ tal policy for which he said New Er.- land long has stood. The six points were: ‘ I A rigid economy in public expenditures. ‘‘2, A budg« t swiftly brought in- to balance and kept there. ”3,- Thr maintenance of a sound, stable currency. ‘A The protection of the national credit through fulfillment of every promise uttered. “5 The.preservation of the prin­ ciple of local government. 6. -Themaintenance in its full integrity of the judicial authority.” The Chicago and Manchester pub­ lisher said be spoke ”as a New Eng­ lander to New Englanders.” ;/A high light of the program was a- tableaux, “Knox Marches On,” |ho.wing sketches from his life, first Afa newsboy. later as “ Rough Rider” with Col. Theodore Roosevelt, then as publisher, army officer during the ',World War, and finally as vice pre Bidential nominee. T Not for more than two generations preme Court than up to the De mocratic party. We had ten times rather have the constitutionality of any question or issue decided by the Supreme Court than by Presi­ dent Roosevelt,'■ or any other poli­ tical: officeholder in the United States. And that goes for the Re publican Party as well. What Senators Barclay and Ro binson probably would' have had the Supreme Court do would have been to put an official 0. K ., on the NRA and the AAA for the sake of expediency, regardless of whether the two groups were con­ stitutional or unconstitutional. If such is the case, then every American can thank God for the Supreme Court, which pleaae in­ tegrity and duty above everything else and which is determined to keep the trust-which the people of the United States have placed in their hands “Oh, blind and impartial jus­ tice!” Senator Robinson is report­ ed to have shouted, with his arms upthrust toward the glaring over head lights In the convention hall, What blunders are committed in thy name?”' • We would like the privilege of answering that question. Senator/ The blunders committed by the Supreme Court are infinitesimal compared to those ,which the poli/ ticians of the country have made. —The State, (Democrat.) Ten Billion Dollars. The congress that has just ad journed. made ,appropriations that amounted to near ten billion dollars This figures out on an average of more than $75 00 for every person living in the United States.

Not more than five years’ resi dence in the state, out of the last nine may be required, nor more than one year of continuous residence immediately prior, to application. - North Carolina will probably come under the plan, next year. Sees Landon As Next President. Estes Park, Colo Gov Alf M. Landon of Kansas was assured by Representative William A Ekw.all, Republican of Oregon, that, the “ Republicans have a mighty fine chance to capture the election this fall.” Ekwall. en route home to Port land, told reporters following bis visit with the Republican Presiden tial nominee, ’ Landon has tremen dous appeal to the garden variety ofrmill run-vote.” ,‘‘He is the type they want as head of the government,” the Ore goniau said. “ Common people feel government will be perfectly safe in his hands.” Ekwall said he invited the Gov­ ernor to make a campaign trip through the West and added that he thought “ he would'win thou sands of • personal .friends if he’ll just let people see him.” He predicted Oregon would “ go back into the Republican ranks” this fall. _Hesaid that while travel­ ing through Pennsylvania, Ohio and Nebraska be had found much sentiment for Lacdon “ not in any particular strata or section, _.but everywhere:” . : .

Riosevelt picked him up and placed him as Chief spoilsman in his Cabinet h is opened his mouth again to the consternation of his party by calling Jovernor Landon a "synthetic can­ didate for President on a counterfeit new deal platform.”, Farlev had al­ ready got the West aroused by re ferring to Landon as an unknown G ivernor of a "typical prairie state, Generally speakingthefooiish re­ marks of Farley, chamberlain of |the Pope and wet advocate deluxe, does not take so well in any part of tne country the East a well as the West The Damoiritic New Yoik Times thinks The Democratic national chairman is making himself “ridiculous.” that other members of the party are in far better position to speak for it than is the former member of the New York boxing commission and 'hat the administration should man­ ege somehow to silence the post­ master general. The Herald Tribune ironically pro- fosses sympathy for its old friend and neighbor, whose nervous system is being ravaged” by the Farley jitters but thinks that in advising the ad­ ministration to resort to drastic measures to silence Farley it is only proposing half way measures, that the Times is only suggesting that the postmaster general be swept behind the sofa for the duration of the cam­ paign. The most active and able of the Republican journals' comments: ■'yefiffcbBUnuebi8'W w ationi?ffbn? G. 0. P. Never Forced Negroes on South As Did Democrats. Atlanta—Governor Eugene Tal- niadge charged todav the Demo­ cratic National Convention in Phi­ ladelphia established “social equali­ ty and political equality ’ by allow­ ing Negroes to take part. No Republican administration - has ever-forced the Negroes on the Southern people as did the conven­ tion at Philadelphia,” Talmafige said. '. - I*:- The Georgia governor, who has campaigned against the new deal In' various staets, recently announced he would support the candidates ■ nominated in 1936 as well as the platform. “The new deal papers of Georgia and tlie Sonth are printing just;As' little about this Negro domination and equality as they can get :by with,” Talmadge said. Why don’t the Southern papers give the news as to what happened up in Philadelphia? , . . /I' When they flaunted Negroes, in the hotels and - dining rooms, and had them making nominating speeches to our Southern people, it was saving to us: Z1 ‘You don’t amount to anything anyway. We will buy. you. We will make you associate with the Negro, and make you like it.’ ” There are thousands ol good white women and men in the South' who will register their, .protest a- a back'room. What those operations are, the Times leavesin no doubt-by quoting for Farley’s benefit the old Quay motto; 'Addition, division and ilence’. “Farley is not a pretty spectacle, and we could easily do without the sight of his beaming arrogance. But just how morality or even the pro­ prieties would be served by hiding his ‘division’ of $5,000,000 in a back room; we cannot follow. “N ot’shut up Farley,’ but “throw Farley out’ of his three jobs seems the proper plea Yet tosaythewords is to reveal their hopelessness. Our neighbor wrote of Landon as if he were some curious sort of accident Letting that curious estimate pass for a moment, we merely note that Farley, at any rate, is no accident. Hehasdoneand is doing just the sort of roughneck political work that ihe new deal, for all its nobility Gf purpose, lives by; Farley wi|i not be thrown out, He will not even be shut up. is our guess.

President Roosevelt said in his ac-~ ceptance speech that be believed the constitution should be amended if necessary to attain-the aims- of his administration. W hat'the peiple should know before the amendment is asked for, is just: what are the aims of the administration Remem­ ber, Esau sold his birthright for one mess of pottage, and though he re­ pented it did not bring back nis birth- y.

Democratic leaders are less Cocky about the prospects for an over­ whelming party victory in November. Even that super-optimist, genial Jim Farley admits that his party will have to fight for victory. Openly he orofesses no fear for November re­ sults, but privately he is not so cer­ tain about the fullness of the win, In spite of the ballyhoo at the Philadelphia convention, bitter inter­ nal rows have developed^ that the buck private in the rear ranks knoivs little about, and the party iB not So united as appears on the -surface. There is the justified dread of disaf­ fection in the West and the under­ current of dissatisfaction in the Eiist is not to be laughed away. The third party, the Unionists, headed by William Lemke, is serio.us only in the Ptrength it will sap from- the.two major parties, and it is ad­ mitted that the . Lemke drain will come more heavily from the Demo­ cratic ranks. With all their protes­ tations to the contrary, it would hot be surprising if the. followers of Dr. TownBend, the Rev. Charles E . Coughlin and even Huey Long’s share- the- wealtbers, finally enlist under his banner Tbese are found in greatest volume in the sections where'the New Deal has found -its most enthusiastic support. Thus the general effect of the new party will be determined by the ex­ tent to which it is able to swing the balance in pivotal states, particularly in thq-farm belt,, where the Demo­ crats are relying on gratitude the farmers feel as beneficiarieB of New Deal policies. The “take-a- walkers” who have.op- -enly challenged administra! ion poli­ cies, and the money-bags composing the American Liberty League, are expected to drive as many votes into the Democratic fold as they subtract; Yet these factors' are not without their, influence. Money always talks above a whisper, and the turnover Of only a few states could easily upset the Democratic caiculations.

Dr. Ralph McDonald, who receiv­ ed more than 212,000 votes in the recent primary, says he is not going to leave the democratic party.

The Record has stood for many mean and low down things that the democratic party has put over in this county and state, but when they go so far as to desecrate and destroy black berry briars that are loaded down with delicious berries—well, that is going too far, and we don’t propose to let such a thing go by without putting up a protest.

Characteristics of the Primitive ;Church (Acts 4:31-35). 1. It was a praying church (v. 31). ,The early Christians for every want and need betook themselves to God in pray­ er.

It was a united church (v. 32). They were all . of one heart and soul. 5. It was a generous church (v. 32). They held nothing back from thoee who had need.

BRISBANE THIS WEEK ’ A King’* Farewell Good Soldier Obey* An U or Two I 40,000,000 Degrees Paris.—To “last words of dying men” will be added those of the late King George of England —“I am sorry to keep you waiting, like this.” Typical of a good, modest king, always' obe­ dient to duty. At the request of his ministers, including Sir, John Simon, who wait­ ed upon him at the last moment, the king strug­ gled pathetically to sign his name to a state paper, succeeded, then, turning to his ad­ visers, spoke those last words, fol­ lowed by a smile and nod with which he was accustomed to end an audience. This was published in the Star of Johannesburg, South Africa, in a Reuter dispatch. Mr. Gunia sends the clipping from Gibsonia, Pa. Much obliged. The Italian soldier Badoglio, in the striking uniform of an Italian marshal, returned to Rome and embraced Mussolini, who wore the uniform of a corporal of fascist militia. Napoleon also liked to be called the “little corporal.” Marshal Badoglio is an Italian soldier who obeys orders. When Mussolini’s forces were marching on Rome, Badoglio, according to the story, said to the king: “What shall I do—wipe them out?” The king ordered: “No; no violence.” Now, Mussolini rules, and on his orders Badoglio wipes out Hafle Selassie and the government of Ethiopia. Arthur Brisbane Anything could happen in Europe, and one of the things considered quite possible, extremely disturb­ ing to respectable old England and others, is an agreement between Mussolini and Hitler to make “a deal on Austria” profitable for both; not for Austria. There is always, however, the memory of 1914, when Austria, Italy and the Kaiser had the triple alliance that did not "stand up.” Such alliances usually go along racial lines, if they are to last. France and Italy are natural al­ lies, both Latin; England and the United States would probably be found not far apart if a really big World war should ever come, with one or two other IFS. Science proudly demonstrates for the Westinghouse company a new lamp that “rivals the beams of the sun.” The demonstrator explained that the temperature at the sun’s surface is about 11,732 degrees Fahrenheit, while the new lamp reaches 25,232 degrees Fah­ renheit. That, however, as scientists know, is a long way from the sun’s best temperature. According to Sir James Jeans, there prevails in the depths of the sun temperature of “forty million degrees centigrade,” which is con­ siderably higher than any man- made temperature. If you came within 1,000 miles of a 5 cent piece with a tempera­ ture of 40,000,000 degrees centi­ grade, you would be burned to a cinder; hard to believe, but true. England protested against raising the elevation of guns on American warships because that would make our guns shoot too far. In case of war we might hit a British ship lined up against us. Are animals capable of any thought? A dog on Prince Edward island, whining and howling with’its muz­ zle against a pile of clothing on the edge of a pool, attracted men who took from the water the bodies of two brothers, fifteen and seventeen yeans old. Could the dog have "thought out” k connection between the clothing and the disappearance of its young owners?

WNtTBervle*. News Review of Current Events the World Over Drouth Crisis Brings Federal Aid—Business Revival Con­ tinues in First Half of 1936—Steel Industry Fights Drive for Unionization. By EDWARD W. PICKARD <g> Western Newspaper Union. Fe a r s that drouth may irri- trievably destroy farm crops in North and South Dakota, eastern Montana and Wyoming prompted President Roosevelt to marshal $500,000,- 000 in relief funds to combat the damage and to develop fur­ ther plans for fight­ ing drouth. Secretary of Agri­ culture Henry W. Wallace, who left Washington for a personal survey of the stricken areas, declared that from all reports condi- . tions had becoiiie as serious as they were in 1934, due to lack of . sorely needed rains.The secretary declared that un- Ies rains descend in the sun- scorched regions the government will buy 30,000,000 head of catUe in the next month.In St. Paul, Minn., the governors of the five drouth-stricken north­ western states met with Federal Works Progress Administrator Har­ ry L. Hopkins-and administrators from the various states. Mr. Hop­ kins ordered relief jobs made im­ mediately available for from 25,000 to 50,000 farmers who have seen their sole source of livelihood de­ stroyed! The jobs were to be made available on water conservation projects, farni-to-market roads, rural schools and recreational proj­ ects. President Roosevelt, in-Washing­ ton, appointed a special committee composed of Secretary Wallace, Budget Director Daniel Bell, Aub­ rey Williams, Assistant Works Progress Administrator and Dr. Rexford G. Tugwell, resettlement administrator. They will work in cooperation with a committee of department of agriculture officials. The President instructed Budget Director Bell to study government appropriations to determine what funds are available. • Secretary Wallace CONTINUING business ^recovery _' during the first six Ifidntiis pf 1936 fulfilled the hopes pf "optimist­ ic prognosticated and surpassed the expectations of conservative forecasters. All Uie leading trade barometers registered fair business weather at the close of the first half of the year. The production of automo­ biles reached 2,400,000 units in the first six months of 1936, the best for the period since 1929. Improvement was further reflect­ ed by the steel industry, the opera­ tions of which rose from 49.2 per cent of capacity at the start of the year to 71.2 per cent :at the end of'June. The'output of electricity climbed steadily to reach ah all time, peak in June. The steady recovery of this rail­ roads was indicated by carloadiiigs which worked up to approach their best levels since 1931. The figures for the first six months of 1936 were substantially better than those for the Simflar period of 1935. A-strong upsurge of home build­ ing gave impetus to the construc­ tion industry although it still re­ mained at subnormal levels. AN INCREASE pf 90 per cent in . the cash farm income on cot­ ton, wheat, tobacco,'corn and hogs from 1932 to 1935 was recorded un­ der the Agricultural Adjustment act, in­ validated by the Su- $ preme’ court last I January, according IJpyw to the apnual report - Js > of Chester C.

' The report pointed out that cash farm income from all other prod­ ucts increased in the Saipe' period from $3,012,000,000 to $4,307,000,0001 Mr. Davis,' who was recently ap­ pointed by President’ Roosevelt to the Federal Reserve board, de­ clared that cash available for living expenses, taxes and interest from farm cash income was the highest m 1935 since 1929, and two and one- half times greater than it was in 1932. P ) EFYING a drive to force union- ization of its 500,000 workers, the steel industry in a stronglv worded statement issued by the Americsui Iron and 'Steel institute declared “it will oppose any at­tempt to compel its employees to )om a union or pay tribute for: the nght to work.” v Although- the statement did not mention him' by .name, it was re- Gov. Lahdon garded by observers as the first official response to the recent an­ nouncement by John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Work­ ers of America, of a campaign to unionize steel employees. In order to prevent the “closed shop,” the industry said it "wfll use its resources to the best of its abil­ ity to protect its employees and their families from intimidation, co­ ercion and violence and to aid them in maintaining collective bargaining free from interference from any source." The unionization, attempt comes at the time when steel operations have set a new record for 1936. Reasserting its belief in the prin­ ciples of collective bargaining, the industry’s statement pointed out that employees now pick their own representatives for collective bar­ gaining by secret ballot. The state­ ment declares: “The steel industry is recovering from six years of depression and huge losses and the'employees are beginning to receive the benefit of increased operations. Any interrup­ tion of the forward movement will seriously injure the employees and their families and all business de­ pendent upon the industry and will endanger the welfare of the coun­ try.” PI ESTES PARK, Colo., Gov. Al­ fred M. Landon, - Republican Presidential nominee, continued his vacation begun with his family the week before arid made plans’ for re­ convening of the K ansas' legislature and for the accept­ ance speech he mil deliver in Topeka on July 23. Although Governor Landon was resting preparatory to the Hgors of the cam­ paign, affairs Of his state and ' confer­ ences with political advisers' occu­ pied considerable of his 'attention. When the Kansas- legislature re­ convenes a proposed'amendment'to the state constitution wfll be intro­ duced, giving the state broad power to provide far-reaching legislation for social welfare and to co-operate with the federal government. Gov­ ernor Landon was quoted as de­ scribing the proposed amendment as “satisfactory.” The amendment, which may be the basis for similar action in other states, reads: “Nothing contained in this con­ stitution shall' be construed to limit the power of the legislature to epact laws providing for financial assist­ ance to aid infirm or dependent per­ sons; for the public health; unem­ ployment compensation and general social security and providings for the payment thereof by tax or oth­ erwise and to receive aid from the federal government therefor.” ""VrIELDING to the urgings of I• party leaders, Gov. Herbdrt H. Lehman of New York an­ nounced that he would run again for the office of governor. The gover­ nor had announced several months ago that he would not be a candi­ date again, giving as his reasons the press of personal business and a desire to retire to private life. Democratic leaders declared the governor’s decision will help the national ticket to carry New York in the election next November. Io a statement issued to newspa­ permen, Governor Lehman said he cpuld “no longer resist” the ap­ peals of national and state Denio- PrUtic leaders. ,The’ statement said: ” " “Regardless of personal consid­ erations, however' 'compelling, I feel that J can no longer resist the pleas of my party both in the state and in the nation or of Riose "with whom I have worked in closest5 as­ sociation for many years’ and with whom 'I have ’waged' the fight’ for equal opportunity "and social ’secur­ity. ----- * »-• •- . “Therefore if my party in Uus state Chooses to nominate me'again and if the peo'pleof the state again call on me for service shall proud­ ly accept the call' arid "will “de­vote myself’ wholeheartedly to the interest of the peopie’of'fhe state ” Re tir in g from the post of Comptroller General, J_K. Mc- Carl announced that following the expiration of his term of office he would aid in the government re­organization study undertaken by the senate committee headed by Senator Byrd of Virginia. ,Gen. McCarl criticized’ New Deal emergency agencies as ‘.‘.loosely and extravagantly set up’.’ arid ag “tax consuming in the extreme ” He declared that a systematic reor­ganization / of both regular and emergency agencies would improve government administration and re­duce the cost to taxpayers. DERSfiSTENCE of strikea in the' provinces kept France in a sfate of imrest. A . gain of 225,000 new. members was reported by the gen­ eral confederation of labor, organ­ ized labor’s official body. Altogether it was estimated that 100,000 Workers? were, 'still absent from their jobs, in spite of reports of strike settlements in scattered sections throughout the country. The French Riviera witnessed a general exodus of foreign tourists from 450 hotels and resorts follow­ ing a lockout by the proprietors. The hotels were closed indefinitely after the employers declared they could not meet workers’demands for more pay and shorter hours. This retaliation by the owners against the threat of a workers’ strike up­ set Uie summer tourist season, one of the most profitable to the French. Government representatives were 'busy attempting to settle three seri­ ous strikes—iron and steel workers in the Lorraine region, naval ship­ yard workers at St. Nazaire and em­ ployees on the pari-mutuel ma­ chines at Parisian race tracks. \X7HILE representatives of Iead- • • ing powers gathered in Geneva to lift League of Nations economic sanctions against Italy and the ref­ ugee emperor, Haile Selassie, of Ethiopia prepared to plead the cause of his na- Uon’s freedom, Eu­ ropean statesmen considered the pos­ sibility of a reorgan ization and reforma­ tion of the League. Observers agreed that while informal discussions on the . League reformation e Selassie would be held, it was probable that the question of reorganizing the in­ ternational pact' body would be postponed until the September as­ sembly. r v ESPITE his previous decision declaring unconstitutional the tax on railroads to permit pensions, Justice Jennings Bailey of the Dis­ trict Cf Columbia Supreme Court ruled in an oral opinion that- the railroad retirement board could pay pensions to railroad workers. The justice declared that his pre­ vious decision on the validity of the rafl pension laws could not be construed to mean that the retire­ ment act itself was unconstitution- aL He ruled that the government' could' proceed to collect from rail workers a sum amounting to 3 1-2 per cent of their salaries and could use the money to pay retirement pensions to the workers when they reach 65 years of age or have worked 40 years. He. alio ruled that the railroad retirement board could proceed to collect information on which' to al­ lot the pensions; provided it did so at' its own expense and by recom­ pensing the railroads for any cleri­ cal work involved; ' Justice Bailey’s original decision in_ the case had specifically en­ joined the railroad retirement board from taking any steps to compel the railroads to furnish in­ formation. The decision ruled that the' tax law adopted to finance the pensions was unconstitutional arid ruled that the tax measure and re­ tirement measure setting Up means of paymg the pensions were “ini separable.” {fro**-- DRECKINRIDGEcan afnha.cs&finiLONG, Ameri­can ambassador to Italy; sub­ mitted his resignation to President Roosevelt because of illness.

An out and out bolt by an individual in party poli- tics likewise does not guarantee important defections, but, like the arrival of the early robin, an indi­ vidual bolter, if he be a man of consequence, has a story of its own to tell. A Bolt in party poUtics never attracts attention unless the bolting individual is of some con­ sequence and, therefore, has a per­ sonal following. Thus it is that when we observe a bolt by a na­ tionally known individual from his lifelong poUtical affUiation, v/e im­ mediately understand its signifi­ cance. The scope of this signifi­ cance, however, is the thing that concerns us. Nearly everyone knows now that former Gov. Alfred E. Smith of New York, Democratic Presiden­ tial nominee in 1928, has made known that he-cannot support Pres­ ident Roosevelt for re-election. They know as well that the four other individuals who asked the Democratic National convention to push Mr. Roosevelt aside and nom­ inate a Democrat can be classified as important individuals along with Governor Smith. No one dare say that former Sen. James A. Reed of Missouri, former Governor Ely of Massachusetts, Bainbridge Col­ by, secretary of stater in Woodrow Wilson’s administration and Daniel F. Cohalan, one time Tam­ many chieftain, are unimportant in poUtics. They have consistently figured in Democratic party coun­ cils and thus it becomes appar­ ent that these five robins presage something more than just their own departure from the ranks of Roosevelt supporters. I make this statement notwith­ standing toe declaration by James A- Farley that-he would not digni­ fy their statement with a reply. Of course, Mr. Farley as postmaster general, ‘chairman of the Demo­ cratic National committee, chair- 'ihan of thh|N!gw.'Yofk State Demq- - cratic coirimittee and delegate to toe Democratic National conven­tion, necessarily was a very busy man at the time the Smith state­ment, refusing support to President Roosevelt, was released for publi­ cation. Nevertheless. I am in a position to know that toe Smith statement threw quite a scare into New Deal ranks. Frankly, they did pot like it. How’ much they do not like the Smith statement remains to be seen. I believe that no one can forecast exactly how much strength this group can pull away from Mr. RoosCvelt in toe Novem­ ber election. ' Much will depend upon their personal activities henceforth. If men like Smith arid Jim Reed and Ely take the sturiip, if they go out onto the hustings and actually campaign for Gover­ nor Landon, the Republican norrii- nee, it seems to me obvious that such campaigning will damage toe Roosevelt cause materially. It was the natural strategy for Mr. Farley to follow in 'declining commerit' on the Smith defection. His assertion that the Smith state- ment was so- uniriiportant as to re­ store no reply will be convincing to a very great many voters who already have made up their minds to support Mt: RppseVelt.

The thing that I had found ont in those last ten mlnntes, the thing that my dash of inspiration had led me to, 3impiy did not fit In. Sheer accident most have intervened. Another maid. . . - t felt as if I were sinking In one of those morasses where everything you Jay hold on slips ont from onder your clutching fingers. The death of Anson had so filled jny mind that X had been forgetting the menace of all that had gone be­ fore, but now It repossessed roe very completely. I was not so frightened for myself as I ought to have been; I knew my own Innocence so well that J was naively sore I conld make It clear, bnt my forebodings deepened when I thought of Deck, high-strung, defiant, confronting Donahey's hard, slow-focusing distrust, and Harriden's outspfiken bate. I wondered if they had decided to arrest him. The finding of that dia­ mond most have seemed to them con­ clusive. They might have arrested him at once, I thought, but for the finding of Anson's body. That death had be­ wildered and distracted them for a time, but now they must be ail the keener for some decisive action. I could see Deck held up. before the public as an unscrupulous spendthrift making love to a rich woman, trying to trade on her affections, drnnkenly threatening her when she refused some sum, then murdering her for the pos­ session of her diamonds. He would be represented as having tried to hide the chain with me hnt as having retained possession of the big diamond that might, more easily, escape a search. Jt all fitted together. Now that the diamond was found Harriden must be surer thnn ever that his suspicions had been right. . . . He would rnake every­ body else sure. I was glad I had spoken to Donahey about Iiancini and Anson. Perhafis I had roused enough suspicion In Don- atiey’s mind to delay his action against Deck. If only my due had not failed me—if only I had found what I ex­ pected to find. . . . Well, I hndn’t. AU right then, I thought determinedly, Pd see wliat sort of case I could build up, anyway. - Nora Jtlarrlden had been quarreling with a roan In her room about seven- thirty. Itanclnl might have been the man for all his wife’s testimony that he had been In his own room. . . , Later, lifter Harrlden hnd gone down, he had steppcd lnto Nora's room again. Nora had been stabbed. Itancini had a cone, with a stabbing knife concealed In one end. He bad wiped It off with' a handkerchief— Not his own. His own did not match that blood-stained one. He had picked up one of Dan's to wipe off the blood. He had locked Nora In the closet, fled hack to his room, washed out the hand­ kerchief and spread it on the radiator to dry. Then, seised with the thought of making the murder appear a sui­ cide, he had slipped back again, thrust her out the window, nfter stuffing the diamonds In his pocket, and hurried down to dinner. During the search for Mrs. Harrlden, Anson had happened to notice the dry­ ing handkerchief. . . . Perhaps the prince hnd noticed It, later, amJ^tuffed It In his pocket wtlh the diamonds. That night, he had torn out the Initials and stolen up with the diamonds to my room. „ . He had chosen me, I thought, be­ cause If he were discovered there his fertile Imagination would conceive the Idea of saying that it was a rendez­ vous. If I, alone, discovered him, he would try to make love to me. . . . It would be just what he would think of . . . As for the big diamond, he had hidden that, but after. Anson’s death— and my suspicion Insisted that lie hud killed her—lie hnd realized the danger ho was In, with Umt body In his closet, and so he had hurried to get rid of the pendnut and .at the same time to throw more of the suspicion upon Deck, • !Some things I could not explain to mysetf. Why had'Letty Vnn Alstyn fainted at Harriden’s dreadful words? It she were guilty, then I could credit her wltli 4. moment’s faltering weak­ ness as slie. saw Uie fate she was bringing-uponJ am Innocent man, but If she were not 'guilty,'iif she Iiad no'rea- son to know Deck innocent— ■ I could hardly believe, after Mitch­ ell’s words about her, that she would faint but of sheer compassion, . And what about that crescent? why had she wanted it back from Anson? And how had Anson come to have it again In her hand? But these did hot seem to hie the es­ sential Questions. The thing was to establish' my suspicions of Bancinl. A knock came on my door. One of the buUers, Graff, it was, stood there with a note on the house note-paper. I came back into.my room,- pressed on the light3 and tore open the stiff paper. Scrawled across the sheet was a single line, written In Itallanl “Please be In the picture gallery tn « n minutes.” gome of . those minutes I spent In brightening up that scared looking girl I saw In the glass. “You’re not afraid,” I Sold her. J1He Isn’t going to choke you to death.” Hefore I left the room I wrote In English, below that scrawl on the Iet- -ter, “I have gone to the gallery to meet KaneinV’ .and signed my name vftb the.&ms, Then I went to the pjgture Mary Hastings Bradley Copyright by D- Appleton- Century Co.. Ine, WITO8ervle» CHAPTER XII Darkness and emptiness greeted me; the curtains hung closed against the light, their heavy folds forming black oblongs along the shadowy reaches of the walls. The darkness played on my nerves, and I reached hastily for the electric switch. The opening of a door at the far end of the gallery made me straighten-and whirl'about and started my heart to hammering. I toid myself to be wise and wary. . . . I told myself that this was my chance to learn something. It was not Bancinl who came In that door. It was Alan Deck. He was the apparition of the first night I had seen him there, his handsome face marked with tormenting bitterness. Impulsively I started towards him; we met In the middle of that vast room. He murmured, a wry smile on his lips, "I was afraid you might not come.” I stammered my surprise. “"Oh, did you—did you send that note?” “Who else?” "But—in Italian?” “Did you think It was Bandni?” he grinned. “I wrote In Italian because I knew jov knew it, and I didn't want 80 We Began. to—Walk—Upland Down That. Huge.Gaileey..... the servants to read it. . . . However, that police fellow tagged me. He’s Just outside.” I said In a low tone, “Well, he knows we are here together. That can’t be helped.. . . But he can’t hear what we say If we stay away from that door.” So we began to walk up and down thnt huge gallery, ‘I expect it isn’t very helpful for you to be seen with me—but I had to see you somehow.” ‘They’ve linked us so In suspicion that It would be only natural for us to talk things over,” I said stoutly. ‘Not that the suspicion can do yon any real harm,” he declared. “They can’t do anything to you simply be­ cause the diamonds were found pinned la your dress. They’ll have to believe your story. The publicity may be deuc- edly annoying for you, but that’s all.” I hoped he was right “They may end by proving that I pinned them there!” His laugh was ragged. He -groaned out, "It’s this cir­ cumstantial stuff that gets me! First my threats, then Anson seeing me out­ side Nora’s door—coming out of it, as a matter of fact, but she can’t tell that now—then the diamond hidden in my cigarette case, and now Anson’s being choked off, In an empty room, while was conveniently at hand, around the corner. God,'I almost believe In my guilt, myself I” ‘But who did It?” I demanded des­ perately. “How do I know? ■ I don’t give a damn who killed either of them,” he said, his voice roughening, “just so Harrlden stops riding me.... He came downstairs again when I was with Donahey.. . . Those letters have driven him crazy.” “Letters?” “My letters,” he said with. Indescrib­ able bitterness.' “The fool love' letters that I wrote—oh, months and months ago. The letters that she threatened to show him.” . I was stupid with surprise. "To show him—? Why—what for—” “She wanted to play hell with me! That was what for.” He remembered to lower his voice to a hard , undertone. “To make me marry her. To make Dan divorce her. I was through, but she wasn’t going to let me off.” Well, I knew then. I had !always known, but I -had been wilfully, trying to hold truth away, from me, to imagine a hopeless, romantic infatuation. . . But it was a curious sort of: shock that he had been “through.” In a more guarded voice he went on, “She’d made a scene that afternoon_ that was what Elkins overheard. Swore she’d get a divorce and make me marry her. Said Dan wonld divorce her like a shot If he-found out, and she was going to tell him. I told her I’d give her the He, and she said she’d show my letters. That was the first Ume I knew She hadn’t burned them, as she bad said. ■‘•‘She showed them to him all right,” IhhBered. “He was quoting from .downstairs when he went crazy —when they found the diamond. There were phrases that he’d gotten from them. About having compassion on my lovesick soul—about drowning myself In her eyes I” “They were beautiful eyes,” I said stonily. Suddenly I remembered something. I remembered those slow, blunt fingers of Harriden’s moving about In his wife’s dressing case, searching the key to the Jewel case. I remembered their pause, their feeling over and over the silk lining, and the queer, indefinable look chat had passed over the man’s face. . . . I had thought him recollect­ ing some association. Quickly I spoke. “I don’t believe she showed them. I believe that he found them where she kept them hidden—un­ der the lining in her dressing case.” I told him, In a carefully lowered voice, all the details. He nodded. “That might be, More likely than for her to show them. Tell­ ing him about me would be enough. He’d see red. Anyway it’s the same thing now. He’s read them. Probably been reading them all these nights.” I felt sorrier for Harriden than I had ever felt for any person In my life. “He loved her—terribly,” I said. “Oh, he was a fool about her. I was a fool, too, In my time," he ac­ knowledged grimly. “The damnedest fool alive. I always am about beauty. You know that thing of Cecil John’s— ‘Oh, I am Beauty’s fool?’ I thought her Aphrodite herself, all lore and loveliness.” Harshly he pronounced, “And she was a cheat and a wanton—and a dom­ ineering devil. What's worrying me is that one of those letters, the very last, wa3 written In a rage. I’d been breaking away and she’d started threat­ ening—she might have known she couldn't make me come to heel! I told her I’d see her In hell before I married her. I wrote her that That would supply the motive, wouldn’t it? AU that the case lacks now. Doing away with her before she made the scandal.” I couldn't speak for a moment “It was—definite,” I said then, a little shakily. After a minute he brought out; “She might not have kept it. Her pride might have been too great And Dan’s pride may keep him from using It He’d hate the world to know I chucked his wife.” “I like him for that” Something in my tone must have stung him, for he said quickly, “Don't think any worse of me than yon have to. I saw him first as a jealous brute and she as a lovely martyr. I thought we were entitled to our love. . . . I didn’t know her.” He went on talking In his tense-un- dertone, the pent-up emotion seething out In him. “I was mad with worry that first night I met you here. I’d come up to try and cool off—to plan a way out . . . I was wondering how to get hold of those letters . . . Won­ dering If I could play a game with her . . . Then I saw you and I thought, ‘Damn it, there’s a girl that’s real—a girl I want to know,’ and I knew If I made a move to you that Nora would rip the roof off. I felt tied hand and foot. That made me hotter than ever.” “But you asked me to go up to her—” “I know. There was something about you—” He broke off and added, .“It would have been all right—coming with that ■ message. And I was des­ perate.” He broke out now, “If Dan thought that letter would send me to the elec­ tric chair, he’d sink his pride and use it. He’d show me up, first as the se­ ducer of his wife, then as the aban- doner. If that last letter got to a jury I wouldn’t have a Chinaman’s chance.” He turned on me his bitter, desper­ ate eyes. “I must get those letters. That’s my only way. . . . He can’t be carrying them about with him, they’re too bulky. They must be somewhere In the room.” I suggested that they were probably still In the hiding place In the case. “That’s right. . . , Look here—can you think of any way of getting hold of them for me?” He stopped short, gripping hold of my arm. “The funeral Is tomorrow—he’ll leave In the morn- !ng and take all the stuff with him. My only chance Is now. . . . Do you think, you could work on your maid?” “To do what? ’ To steal them?" “I’d pay anything I could.” I knew It >vas folly to imagine brib­ ing that sensible maid of mine. But there must be some way. I could see that his very life might depend upon getting hold of them. I said again that the thing to do was to find out who really had done it, then the; letter wouldn’t matter. At the look In my face he flung out, not unreasonably, "How can I find out —overnight?” And then, “I don’t give a damn who did It, I tell you, so I get out from under. Once I’ve got that letter—I’ve got to get that letter! It I thought .I could knock him out and getaway—”' CHAPTER XIII It was a thoroughly shaken Leila Seton who went back to her room, to the tray of dinner waiting on a Uttle table drawn dose tq the rose cush­ ioned chair. The soup had chilled, the food cpoled, but the coffee In the ther­ mos pot was hot, and I drank it Wrate- tolly My mind was Just a soundtg board for the words and phrases of that past hour. ■ ■ • . : “I’ve flung myself into your h<,„a. ’ ’ BerAphrom tfhersI?:. . . I was sick of her.... i aon’t give ^ d—a who killed either of thenw . - I told her Td give her the He. . . . It was more pique than passion. . . . To play hell with me. . . . And I thought that Nora Harriden, dead, had continued to play heH very thoroughly with the Uving man. I wanted to see Monty JCtchetL He, at any rate; was concerned with the problem of findfng the real killer, and I hoped he had made some discoveries that would bolster my suspicions against Bancinl. Down the stairs I started, pausing, on the second floor, to glance along the main hall to that closed door behind which Nora Har­ riden lay. Tomorrow that door would open and her body would be carried to its last resting place. Harriden had decided against having it moved to their home. He wanted no ceremony except at the grave. There she would be left, under her mound of costly flow- ere. Finis for Nora Harriden. Finis, too, for Sonya Anson. There would be an inquest for her tomorrow, and afterwards a simple funeral serv­ ice In some undertaker’s chapel, prob­ ably. Fewer flowers on her grave— fewer headlines In the press. Elkins for chief mourner. I went on downstairs. The house there was a blaze of Ughta In a few minutes Monty JCtchell came down. “I wanted to see you,” I confessed. -Tve been hoping that you’d found out something.” He put bis band through my arm, leading me over to the deep divan where we had first talked it all over. “Give me a Uttle time, my dear,” he was saying. Then, “You know I’ve got an idea—a very luminous Idea.” I waited, eagerly. “But not a word tiU I have put a foundation under it.” After a moment I said to him, 1Tve just been seeing Deck. We’ve been talking up in the gallery together.” He raised his headland blazed out, "You pair of fools ’’’ “Deck needed some one to talk to,” I retorted, defensively. “Fes, and he needed some one yes­ terday afternoon. . . . Hasn’t the man got enough on his mind without having to have you entertain him?” “Yes, but tonight It was about the case—it was because he had so much on his mind. He wanted to talk It over with me.” I hesitated, then I thought there could be no harm In telling Monty JIitchell about Deck's letters as long as I did not mention the one which gave any motive for murder. Deck had not wanted JIonty to know about that, but JIonty bad already shown hl3 knowledge of their love affair. So I told him. “He’s afraid—he’s sure, really—that Harrlden has found some of his old letters to JIrs. Har­ riden—letters written some time ago. He says that Harriden was quoting from them yesterday—and again to- Letty Just Likes a Little Petting When She’s Low Spirited. day. He thinks that jealousy wiU make Harriden determined to saddle him with the murder.” “He’s darned tooting it win. They’ve sent for the district attorney already." And then Mitchell gave his sudden, ironic chuckle. “Do right—and fear no man. Don’t write—and fear no woman.” I was chilling at the thought of that district attorney. “Do you think he’U be Indicted?" “As sure as God made lovely wom­ en—and jealous husbands.” “Then do something!” I besought > idea—If you can. prove more than I can about Bancinl.” At his unresponsiveness I flung out heat­ edly “You’re his friend, and yet you sit here joking about It, when he’s In such danger!” it >»° Uke yo° wten You’re mad,” said Monty Mitchell equably.

HAGAN and ELMO SCOTT WATSON E scape in Siberia SIB HORACE PLUNKETT of Eng- land, or “Hod” Plunkett as the cowboys In western Nebraska and east­ ern Wyoming In the early days knew him. had some thrilling adventures In the American frontier bnt bis narrow­ est escape from death occurred while he wa3 traveling through Siberia. One day his horse-went lame near a Russian village. Being In a hurry to reach SL Petersburg, he left his horse there and hired another one, hitched to a sleigh. In the midst of a dark, dismal forest, he heard a howl and. looking back, saw a huge timber wolf pursuing him. Sir Horace lashed his horse into a mad gallop but he soon saw that it was no use. The wolf was gaining on him at every jump. Just as the fierce beast sprang at him. Sir Horace dropped down Into the bottom of the sleigh. The wolf shot clear over him and lighted on the horse’s hindquar­ ters which it soon ripped to shreds. The terrified horse kept on running even after it wa3 half eaten up. Then Sir Horace sprang np. His whip gave the wolf a terrific cut With a howl the beast sprang forward just as the horse died and fell out of the harness which dropped on the wolf. Sir Horace then grabbed up the reius. By lashing at the wolf con­ stantly with his whip he kept it going forward, drawing the sleigh behind u at a terrific pace. A few moments la­ ter it raced into a town and came to a plunging halt In front of an inn. Out dashed a group of Bussians who killed the wolf and, as Sir Horace stepped out of the sleigh, pressed for­ ward to congratulate him upon his escape. -- The Humiliated Teeth I N SALT LAKE CITY, baseball bugs still refer to Joe JeDkins, their old catcher, a3 the man who always wore a mask. Tbe description is wrong, technically. Joe used a mask when catching, but the contraption he wore other times was a little net, slung un­ der his chin. It acted as catcher, too — whenever Joe’s lower plate of 16 shiny, false teeth, worked loose. Withcut dreaming of being iDsulting. Joe laid the plate aside In a restaurant one night and went Yight on eating. It happened the teeth were on edge; they were so humiliated by his act they rolled to the floor and hid there. . ’ Next day, 611ed with remorse, the teeth began to hunt .Toe. It was a long search, filled with heart breaks. Once the, teeth almost caught up with' (heir owner while be was gulping an order of milk toast, missing by snap­ ping distance only. One afternoon, Salt Lake opposed the Portland Beavers. The Utah team was three runs behind, ninth inning, two out'and the bases filled. Joe’d been in an awful slump and was benched. At thi9 moment, fortunately for Salt Lake, something resembling a wide smile crawled up ’the players’ bench and bit Jenkins where he carried his eating tobacco. Whooping wildly, Joe leaped seven feet In the air. With his right hand he snapped the ,prodigal lower plate into his mouth; with the left he reached down for bis bat. Joe slammed a home run over the left, field fence, winning the game for Salt Lake by a score of 6 to 5. A Resourceful Cock JeTpHE picture In my living room,” ■A said Humming Bird Stevenson of Columbia, Tenn., “is not a reproduc­ tion of a freak of nature but a life­ like portrait of Blinky, my one-eyed rooster. “Blinky was a seasoned Irish gray, a’ veteran who survived more pittings than any rooster in the history of Maury county. “That smear on the right side of his head is a glass eye I know it’s blood­ shot I painted it that .way to make the other cocks overconfident His neck is a trifle corkscrewish—that’s because Blinky, in feinting to over­ come the handicap of a single eye almost. wrung -his own neck. . “The greatest pitting he won was when a couple of city fellows- came to Coluinbia with their fighting birds and cleaned everything In sight “In the grand finale Blinky was matched against the city champion, an Allen round-head, and I bet all I could beg, borrow or steal at odds of 5 to I. The odds were easy to get, for word was passed to the city slickers that poor old -BUnky was a one-eyed cock. I guess you know who spread the report “B linkynever showed better pit- manship.. Wherever the round-hea’d struck my pride, sideslipped and put his glass eye In front of the gaffs. After that the round-head’s needles were too.-dull to mend a pair of open­ work stockings and the match was In the bag." © W estern Newspaper Union.

By JOUETT SHOUSE iPresident of the American Liberty League I Let us review a few recent de­ velopments in national budget- ; making, annual deficits, borrowing* land finally in the growth of that !huge mountain of responsibility— I YOUR public debt. I This is the sixth successive year in which the government has spent more than it has taken in. Those six annual deficits added together •make a total to the end of this ifiscal year of eighteen billions of !dollars. .... ,! ■ We have nearly doubled the pub- 1 lie debt. It is at this date more !than thirty-four billions. This debt iwas undertaken in your name. You !owe those billions. The money will ]have to be paid.; Tracing the origin of your enor­ mous debt we find that the root !of it all is excessive spending. We [cannot blame the imbalanced budg- |ets on decreased income because Ifor two years or more you have jbeen turning over increasingly jlarge amounts to your agents, the !government authorities, who han- jdle your public business. You go !further into the red each year be- j cause, while you have been paying jmore in taxes, the government has !steadily increased its spending. How Debt Grows As a m atter of fact, at present unofficial estimates, for every dol­ lar you turn over to it the admin­ istration is spending about two dol­ lars. In' other words, you entrust the government with four billions and the government spends eight. The government winds up with a probable 1936 deficit of about four billion dollars. Your government has to borrow the four billions to keep the national household’s cur­ rent credit in working order. If the four billions is not paid back by means of more taxes or by rig­ id economies it is going to contin­ ue a part of the public debt. I Expenditures for next year are jestimated to be even greater than Ifor the present year. If present I policies are followed there is no [hope of any material reduction for [1938. : What are we going to do about lit? We have only two things that jwe can do. YOU have got to pay jmore taxes and YOUR. GOVERN- jMENT has got to_ reduce its ex- ipenditures. You would recognize [the way out of such a problem if jit arose in connection with your !household budget. Spending and !borrowing cannot go on indefinite­ ly if your government is to main- jtain its credit and its self-respect. Relief - Problem We are up against the problem of relief. I do not believe there !is any m an or woman of any class lor group or creed or political party Iwho would suggest that your gov- jernment economize at the expense iof human lives, or that food, cloth- jing and shelter should not be pro­ vided for those unable to care for [themselves: In the opinion of some |0 f us this device of work-relief has !condemned itself. I, for one, fa- jvor using what federal funds are !necessary to help finance . relief, Ibut I believe the money could be [used more effectively and far more !economically if direct, actual ad­ ministration of the job were left to the states. They are in close contact with their own problems. I believe that boondoggling would be reduced, or eliminated. In the last three years about ten billions jof dollars have been allocated-for [relief purposes. There- are still [twelve millions of unemployed and !twenty millions are on relief. [ '-Isn’t it about time you tell the (Congress that is supposed to rep­ resent you that while you are will- ■ing to make .any sacrifice to pre- jvent suffering among the needy, [you demand that your government igive heed to’ the same common [sense economy that must govern [your family budget? I Citizen Pays It All I The only possible source of reve- ;nue with which to meet the heavy [obligations of which we have been [Speaking is your pocketbook. YOU [must pay more taxes. In bringing [taxes lip-to a total of about four [billions annually we have already [put as great a load on wealth as :it will stand, short of confisca- |tion. It is people with medium in- jcomes and moderate savings who jwill be called upon to make these hew sacrifices. Vs ’8 Iash Little Stingers. ' (From The Yellow Jacket) Landonism is Americanism with its fighting clothes on. It’s Alf Landon and Economy New Deal and Extravagance. Onward Christian Soldiers, let make the New Deal shirt tails the moon. Now for a Landon Landslide—In­ dustrial East. AgricolturalSouth and “Prairie” West. The New Deal Congress is so con­ vinced of the value of a deficit that it is trying its darndest to make everybody have one. The WPA has. alone. 300 well- greased “publicity” agents, and maybe they don’t scheme to “sell Roosevelt to America” this fall. It has been so long since we heard a !democrat declaring for the-old Southern policy of “ White Suprem­ acy” that we fear that the party has lost the trail. Credit Eleanor with discovery of the “Yardstitk.” Wasn’t it Eleanor who advised girlies early to deter-' mine just how much “cookin” likker their tummies will carry, then let that be the measure for future guz­ zling? Lei’s follow FDR’s suggestion in one respect. He said: “I say do something—if it doesn't work, do something else.” Well, by heck, we tried him. It didn’t work, so let's try Alf Landon, This “over production” stuff that the New Deal and “Brain Trusters” talk so glibly about is all poppycock. There can be no over production while there are hungry mouths and naked bodies in this country.■ How things change! We used . to have at Washington what was known as the “ Watch dog of the Treasury.” Now it would take a steam shovel to get the money out as fast as voted by a wasteful Congress. One of the first commands God made to man was “befruitful and multiply and replenish.” Not a blessed word about shooting and burning and plowing under. But all the old things are supposed to pass away under the New Deal. The New Deal wild and wastef 11 experiments remind up of what Vol- growing crops. Such procedure doesn’t seem to make sense. Joy-Riding Record. Cleveland police aver that three joy-riding youths did this (or these) with a car last week: hit a stop sign, jumped from curb to six-foot ter­ race, ripped through three thickets, leaped over a 30-foot cliff, dashed a- cross a busy street, smashed through a steel wire fence, shot down a ! 40- foot embankment and bit a clump of trees. Nobody was hurt. Learning to die is the most im­ portant of learning to live. For con­ stant death is unavoible-if we would have continuous, progressive life. .

The biggest idiocy we ever observ­ ed is the New Deal plan to tax the people to supply seed to the farmers and then pay the farmers not to plant all the seed, and then pay the farm­ ers to plow under what they raise from the seed, and then, raise the cost of the foods the people need be­ cause of a shortage of crops. I As a result of the prolonged drought in many sections of the coun J try, we note that it has been suggest­ ed that the people pray for rain. And only last year the Lord-was send­ ing rain to these sections and the New Deal was directing the farmers to “plow under” and destroy the ^ In the end the dry cause will not suffer because of the increasing number of women who drink.

Consequently, chances are that Golden Prairie must get along without its new Government buildings unless Mr Green is fortunate enough to locate the hamlet by that name.” —Marv Carswell, Topeka, Kansas. The little town of Afton, Okla­ homa, with a population of i 220 , deserves a special medal as the scene of a boondoggle that really should end boondoggles. Here is staged the spectacle of 62 WPA laborers busily toting gallon buckets of grav­ el from Afton to an overpass being constructed over the ‘Frisco Rail­ way on highway 66, three miles northeast of the town. Carrying 8 pounds of rock a trip, every laborer is compelled to make four trips a day. Adding up, In the day’s work every man lugs 32 pounds of rock to be used along the concrete sbonl ders. For that he receives $2.40 . The toters work under the severest orders. Noloafing allowed; only one bucket to be carried; and if more.than one is carried, thejnan is fired, ’6 . ;'V ' Costing around ^50 ,000 , the job of building this-overpass”was award­ ed to the Gaines Construction Co. of Miami, Oklahoma, with a proviso that a certain percentage had to be used for WPA labor With the proj ect completed on’ May 15th, the Gaines Co. found they still had $1,500 left which should have gone for WPA labor. When the firm asked the government what they should do. they were Instructed to spend it on the project. At first they had the men break large pieces of dirt along the embankment into small pieces; and the toting started. Local photographers and camera amateurs were forbidden by the Gaines Co to take pictures; but an enterprising Tulsa newsman took pictures and put them right in the front page of his paper. ’ He likewise discovered one supreme example of WPA efficiency One laborer work ed all Monday with soles worn through, blistered his feet in the 24 miles’ tramp, laid off Tuesday, worked Wednesday, and then went to bed for the rest of the week- What price Roosevelt?- Bob Fores- man, Tulsa, Okla.

At Topeka, Kans., the R epublt can presidential nominee, Governor Alf Landon, said, “ I am happy to have the co operation of Senator Borah in this campaigh. -- The democratic platform again de­ clares that the cost of government m u s t be reduced, but who believes they mean it?—Ex.

Mr. Blythe is by no means in­ fallible, but he is a top notcher when it comes to discerning politi cal trends and he is pinning him self down in making this predic tion upon the “silent vote” of {,the country, a great mass of inarticu- lates who join in no Franklin-Eield demonstration, who are not inter viewed on the streets and their opinions broadcast, who never write their views for publication iff Itbe newspapers, but who serlously|and tranquilly stick to their knitJing and vote their convictions and-f/not their prejudices. s We make mention of this matter for no particular design otherlthah to indicate that with all the bravado of Chairman Farley and others, who seem to take it for granted that the next election is already over, there are disagreeing opinions amon| men well qualified to make apj- praisement and that the whole comS plexion of the political prospect: can materially change within; fchd intervening months. — Charlotte Observer. Places AU 1936 Grad­ uates. The Textile School of North Ca- 'olina State College this year gra duated the largest class, in its his tory and every centage of these voung men have been located in North Carolina, which would seem to indicate that the textile industr) - ffers North Carolina boys an op- oortunity to secure employment in their own native state. Dr Thomas Nelson, Dean of the Textile School, stated recently that he had been unable ’to supply all the requests for graduates which came to him. He said that in hi? opinion, the scientific improvements of recent years in textile machin erv, processes of manufacturing, afid methods of distribution, made the textile industry a more fortile field than ever before for college trained men. Today. State College Textile graduates are filling re­ sponsible positions in every phase Qt this great industry and the de- tamd for graduates of this institu­ tion is steadily increasing. S For two consecutive years the Textile School of North Carolina .State College has enrolled more full time day students than any other itgxtile school in America. Some idea of the wide reputation Of/this School can be gained by ob gerying that during the past yeat the homes of its students ranged from Canada to Mexico and to her foreign countries. county, is forever in a school row as to whom shall be at the head of the splendid school at that place. The school w$b nurtured and de­ veloped under the able administra­ tion of Prof. R.‘H Lankford, but politics crept into the Iredell county school system and when a change of superintendents came in the county and a new county board took charge Lankford was fired. He wenttoMountain Park Surrv county, and stayed a year or so until the whirligig of politics again put him in the thick of the fight in Ire­ dell and he came out on the winning side and was again installed SB head of the Harmony school. But it seems that some one is try­ ing to get Lankford’s “goat” but he new appears to be on the winning side. The following appeared the past week in the Statesville Landmark: “R. H. Lankford will be retained as principal of the Harmony school ac­ cording to announcement by Supt. J. A. Steele, of the Iredell county s :hoois “The Harmony school committee recently elected S. D, Wallace as principal of the school, succeeding Lankford, Wallace was a member of the school faculty last year. But delegations of Harmony citizens pro­ tested against the change at this time," bringing the matter to the at­ tention of Supt. J. A. Steele and members of the Iredell county boarfi of education. The board passed the matter to the county superintendent his final action and Monday Steele a-tnounced, after having heard dele­ gations of citizens on both sides, that he considered it for the best in­ terests of the school for Lankford to be retained as principal for the com iog year.” Lankford however is skating on thin ice and sooner or later the Ire­ dell Democratic ring that displaced him before and who have it in for him will get him and he may as well be thinking of where he is next go­ ing to land. The power of the “ma­ chine,” especially of the Watts-Hart- ness-Milholland brands in Iredell, is well-nigh invincible.—Union Repub lican. I in d a ^ M o o l G om raP tion. The Davie County Sundav Conver- tion, for all denominations will be held in Jerusalem Baptist church, on Sunday July 26,1936, with morr- ing, afternoon and night sessions. The theme this year is, A New Church For The New Day. There will be addresses, discussion groups, and special music at the. morning and afternoon sessions. There will be discussion groups for everyone and on every division of the Sunday School. At night, there will be an interesting religious dramatization. The night session will be especially in the interest of young people’s work, but adults as well as young people are invited to attend. Bet­ ween the morning and afternoon sessions, there well be a fellowship dinner on the grounds. Everyone is asked to come and bring baskets. Rev Shuford Peeler, General Se­ cretary of the N. C. State Sunday School Assn. and Mr. Frank J. Wat­ son, formerly with the Georgia Sun­ day School Assn. will be present and and take active parts. Local pastors and others will participate also. It is hoped that every church in the countv will send not less than six de­ legates They are are urged- to send more, if possible, for it will be a worthwhile meeting. At the close of the night session, a pennant will be given to the Sunday School having the best record of at­ tendance, based on the number of miles traveled.

The New Deal has done a few things that we shall not forget soon, It has repealed our prohibition laws ;or which we worked, labored and toiled for a hundred' years or more co establish. It has turned liquor ind beer loose to curse blight, wreck, dll and damn our youth by tens of housands, One of our greatest turses of the ages is liquor, and so he. New Deal has placed it on the hrone again, therefore King Alcohol -ules and reigns in his tyrany in A- merica today as in former years. As iquor and beer increase watch the d 'ath rate through accident, sick- tess and disease increase, along with hat of murder. The human system ioesn’t need such stuff, as it is high­ ly injurious to both health and mor- ils. The New Deal has heaped billions if dollars of indebtedness upon us which we shall never see paid. It will keep our noses to the grind stone as long as we live, in all probability, and do the same for our children and grandchildren. And if business can iarely run by borrowing billions of dollars to keep it going, what shall t be when we stop borrowing and go to paying back? What shall we do when pay day comes? Have you thought of that? The New Deal plowed up millions of dollars worth of our cotton, killed mr.hogs and pigs and caused meat to reach 'hree or four times its price until poor people can’t hardly buy it, and so limit the farmer in his crops, and tie him up with so. mt ch “red tape” until he hqrdly knew head..nor taU .0^ Had -> be Supreme Court not stepped in and killed the NRA aod the AAA which showed their wisdom, we can hardly imagine what would have happened. Thousands of people be­ lieve today that this great drought is sent upon us as a punishment for de­ stroying the erops. God tells us that ve shall reap what we sow. Every­ body ought to know that it was wrong to destroy the crops which God gave us. and which millions of people needed. These are a few of '.he things which the New Deal has done for us. How do you like it? Do you want more of it? If you do, vhen ote for its leaders again and jut them back in office. WALTER E. [SENHOUR, in Charlotte Obser­ ver. In Our Mail. Dear Editor: - While in Sevierville a few days a- go, it was my pleasure to attend a meeting of farmers from various sections of our county. " The main topic of discussion seemed to be “potato bugs.” . Talk about potato bugs”, said an elderly farmer from Middle Creek, “why up in my garden there are forty-nine bugs to the plant,” “ Hump!” exclaimed a prominent farmer from Kodak ” They ate up my crop three weeks ago and are still hanging arouiid the lot waiting for me to plant them over again ” “Why you don’t know anything of the 'revenous nature of these bugs,” wheezzled out a Waldens Creek re­ presentative, "You may call me a iiar, but I’ve had potato bugs walk into my kitchen and yank a -red-hot potato right out of the oven ” “Boys, they’re worae than that up in Wears Valley.” put in a red-head­ ed groceryman, “why only yesterday when I was working on the books, I noticed a couple of bugs looking over the records to see who had ordered seed potatoes for the next three years.” At this point I thought about tell­ ing the boys just how bad potato bugs would be if they ever feel real hungry. Butas itsuddenly began to rain .- the meeting3came to a close and 'rainit did. too. /Why it rained’water down through the single chimney faster than it could.run out two open doors and windows < Yours until the next farmers’ meeting.—Ex. Gentlemen, furnish us good, honest men to handle the election. Marshall Ney. One of the greatest mysteries of all times—whether the man buried in the old Third Creek church ceme­ tery near Cleveland is Marshall Ney, the great strategest of Napolson’s army or just an ilinenant school teacher who knew much of the hero —is again in the limelight Scientists and experts plan to ex- exhume the body this summer, sift the dirt, make specific measurements of any bones found and. c niuct other intricate investigations in ah ■ffort to solve this mystery.- '% The man who said on his deathbed that he was Marshal Ney, has been dead since 1846 About 40 yeara if ter his death, the body was ex­ humed, but the day was rainy, mild .was plentiful about the site, and lit* tie defiuite information was obtain­ ed. A silver trepan said to have been placed in Marshal Ney’s head after being wounded in battle, is particularly Bought. It was not disj- covered when the body was exhutn- ed 50 years ago. ;f We doubt seriously that.the grave will yield any new secret now. Time and the elements have likely reduced -’earth to earth,” but the venture, is - an interesting one and will command the attention of the public. Num­ erous books have been written about this mjst rj, thousands of people are firmly convinced that Marshall .

' Negrd Says Senator Smith Is A Disgrace To State. Those who kept up with the doings of the national Democratic conven­ tion at Philadelphia are familiar with the walk out of Senator Smith of South Carolina, when a negro preacher, of a Philadelphia church appeared to offer the opening prayer at'.the third session of the convention. The negro minister declared that the South Carolina Democrat was in need of prayer and he was glad to pray for him, Arthur Mitchell, the negro Con­ gressman from Illinois was scheduled to second the nomination of Franklin D. Roosevelt but there was so many expressions of southern resentment that Mitchell was shifted and instead delivered an address before the con­ vention When Mitchell got up to speak Senator Smith again walked out of the convention declaring this is an­ other dose and “I am leaving the convention to stay gone. I am through.” Mitchell when he beard of the walkout of Senator Smith and several others of the South Carolina delega­ tion denounced the Senator as “ig* norant and steeped in prejudice.” Mitchell said “He belongs, probably, to the Ku Klux Klan, at. least, in mentality. I have no confidence rIn his statemanship and the sooner We get rid of his type the better. He' ia a disgrace to his state and to our party.” Those ft -by night Democratic henchmen and ballot box staffers who have from time immemorial been throwing it into the teeth of the Re­ publican party that it is 'the negro pirty may read what their beloved Congressman, Arthur Mitchell, -of Illinois, says about a Democratic Beiiator from South Carolina and weep.—Union Republican.

The picnic was not held last year on account of the prevalence of infantile paralysis in some sections of the state. It is hoped to make this the biggest and best picnic and home coming ever held in Davie county. Former Davie county people who are living in other counties and states, are giv­ en a cordial invitation to return to the scenes ot their childhood on this occasion, and view again for one day at least, the familiar sights and meet their old ftiends and acquaint­ ances of long agoi This will be an enjoyable occasion for hundreds of former citizens who have friends and relatives here whom they haven’t seen for many years. The old- fashioned country dinner, consisting of extra large slices of fried and boiled sugar cured ham, the tasty fried and baked chicken, mutton, veal, pickles like mother used to. make, rich, juicy pies and six layer cakes, watermellons; cantaloupes, grapes, barbecued pig, and dozens of other good things, is well worth a trip of hundreds of miles. An in­ teresting program by a chapter of orphans from Oxford Masonic Home, together with the annual ad dress, and many otber; features, will attract thousands. The yoiung peo pie will find plenty of amusements such as the merry-go-round, Ferris wheel, and other riding devices, to­ gether with a big midway that will amuse young and old. Begin now to make plans to spend this one big aay in Mocksville. Kirby Sues Bob Reynold! Greensboro, July 17. —Summons was served on Senator Robert B Reynoldshere today in connection with a suit filed in Davie counjy superior court at Mocksville by Dallas C. Kirby who charges that the iunior senator caused his discharge from his position as traveling attorney for the Home Owners Loan Corporation, with headquarters at Washington, D. C. Altboughdetailsofthe suit were not available here tonight, it was learned that Kirby, now a practicing attorney at Mocksville. alleges that hiB dismissal from the HOLC service about Christmas, 1934, was without cause. . He ,sets up the contention that his services were satisfactory to the HOLC. He asks for recovery of salary which would have come to him if he had not been dismissed. He was receiving $5,000 per year.

To you who have so generously re­ sponded to our former appeals and to those who feel that they can now join us in such a worthy cause, we come again, asking for a “Picnic Basket’* for our 57th Annual Masonic Picnic, Thursday, August 13th. The response heretofore has al­ ways been so hearty and so willine we know we can depend on you, but won’t you ask some neighbor or new family in our midst to join with us this year? They willnotonly wear a badge of honor that day, but will enjoy the consciousness of having helped those who cannot help them­ selves. Due to factors beyond our control, we were unable to have our Picnic last year and it is our best, so that we may benefit the Orphanage to make up for a year missed. As usual, families bringing baskets have free admission to the grounds, one free dinner ticket and tickets for other membere of the family at 25c »acta. Those not bringing baskets pav IOc for gate admittance and $1 00 each for dinner. We know you will not fail us nor those little orphans and we thank you most genuinely for your support. ‘And he who gives a child a treat Makes joy bells ring in Heaven’s Street; And he who gives a child a home Builds palaces in Kingdom Come.” Sincerely yours.

WNTJ Service CHAPTER XIII—Continued —11—"She Is. And now's her chance, but much good it will do her. Dan’s had a dose of the sex to last him a life­ time. . . . But I want to see Letty," Mitchell went on, thoughtfully. “We'll just wait here and grab her when she comes out. That gives me an excuse for lingering in the light of your lovely eyes.” “You leave my eyes out of it,” I said crossly. “But I can't. They are in it. You didn't suppose it was your ability to tell an Angelico from an Angelica that made me your shield and buckler, did you? Where is your feminine intui­ tion? What do you think I've been rallying round you for? Intellectual curiosity?" "Because you’re a lovely character,” I said promptly. “Because you have sympathy and protectiveness and In­ sight and intuition.” “Are you running for anything?" he inquired politely. “Running for my life,” I told him and that sobered us both. He reverted to my theories. “You think it’s Rancini—?" “And you think—?” “I don’t think—yet. I Jast know something, something whose implica­ tions I can’t quite fathom. And yet—” “But what is it you know—? If you’ll tell me—” If he had told me then! But Letty Van AIstyn, with Deck in her wake, appeared at the dining-room entrance, and he hurried to rise to meet them. “Letty darling," said Mitchell quick­ ly, “what kind of cigarettes does our -A-Ian smoke? Not a word out of you, iDeck! It’s an intelligence test," he told her, his keen eyes hard on her. “You have to be right the first time.” 1 The girl smiled vaguely. “But I haven’t the least idea.” “Then why did you say to ttie officer, when you asked for a cigarette, ‘Ask Mr. Deck for his—I like his kind’?” There was a qneer stillness about us. Letty Van Alstyn looked merely perplexed. “Did I say that? I don’t remember. I suppose I thought the man’s would be terrible." “As it happens, he doesn’t smoke at all, but you didn’t know that. You were just making sure he asked Deck for his case. And I ask you—why?” Letty shrugged. “But I don’t re­ member saying that . . Tve just been telling Lanny how simply sick I fee] to have asked for a smoke then. That did bring It on, didn’t It? It was beastly luck." “I haven’t got it in for you, old dear," Deck told her lightly. “All right. You fail, Letty. Maybe you know the answer. Deck? What kind of cigarettes do you smoke?” “Luckies,” said Deck ironically. I saw his hand touch Letty’s arm, and she said quickly, “Monty, do some­ thing for me—that’s a darling. Never mind about the old cigarette case. I want you to run up and get Dan to come down here." She added, “He’ll go mad, all alone in that awful room. Tell him I simply must see him. Tell him it's Important. You will, won't you?" “Why not?” said Mitcbell agreeably. “Only why didn’t you ask Dan for a smoke? He was just behind you.” “Lawyer!” said Letty, In her mild, amused tone. “If you must know I don’t Uke Dan’s kind.” “What kind is that?" She knew that. “Macedonias. But what difference does it make? Do go up now and make him come.” ; “All right, all right” He looked back at me as if he were about to say something, then went on aip the steps. Deck, without a back- -war«t look, was following Mitchell and i moved on after them. At the landing Deck turned to the left-hand branch leading towards his room, and Mitchell took the right with me behind him. At the second floor he turned directly to Harriden’s door and after a soft knock, apparently unre­ sponded to, moved on to Mrs. Har­ riden’s room. Just as I started up the oext flight, I looked back and saw him enter. I hadn’t the slightest lnclinailon to go on up to my room. Nothing there invited me. The moment I was left alone, without the excitement of Deck's presence, without the companionship of Mitchell, I felt myself in the grip ot the old uncertainties and gloomy harassments. Kothing bad come of my laboriously thought-out suspicions. Nothing' was cleared up. Mitchell had not seemed much impressed when I had told him, but then, Mitchell’s manner was un- reveallng when he chose to make It so. I wondered over his questions about the cigarettes. I wondered if he was trying to bring' Letty’s mind back to that afternoon, to that feeling which had so strangely overcome her. I won­ dered If-he had found anything about the brown crescent. I hated to be shut away with my ewB tteswMs and when, at the top of the stairs, the gray cat ran PfcSt me I tried to capture it It eluded me, but determinedly I turned back after It Even a cat was better company than myself. But It was down the stairs ahead of me, and I heard Harriden’s voice saying angrily, “Damn that beast! It’s always trying to get In here!” He and Mitchell had come out of the room, I saw, and I beard the door slam. The two men went downstairs togeth­ er, and I turned and went up my flight again. The cat came, too, and this time I got hold o'f it Snuggling my cheek against Its warm fur I carried it into my room. But not even a cat and cream silk w&lls and rose red cushions could make the room bearable that night. It was a wet, windy night, October turned dismal, and a tall tree kept tapping at a pane like fingers. I tried to marshal the facts In my mind and study them. And I thought of something that had not occurred to me before—that the finding of the dia­ mond In Deck’s case might be utterly unrelated to any of the rest I would not put it past Harriden to bolster the case he sincerely thought he had against Deck by planting that pendant in his case. He might have found It about the room that night and re­ solved to make it clinch the evidence he was so sure of in his own mind. He might have found the chain it­ self, for that matter. He might have planted that chain on me. He hated me enough for having told about the scene at the window. But no—the chain was wrapped In the stained hand­ kerchief—the .handkerchief from which Nora Harriden’s blood had been washed. lt was Rancinl, I thought, who had tiptoed up the stairs in the night to my room with that. I thought of going to Donahey and trying to talk things over with him. I wanted to do anything that wonld take me out of that lonely room. So I went downstairs again. I took the cat in my arms for com­ pany. It was purring, In deceptive quiet, but the moment we were on the second floor it made a clear spring and raced away down the hall. As I looked after it I saw it vanish about the edge of the door that was ajar into Mrs. Harriden’s room. I wait­ ed; nothing happened. Harriden evi­ dently wasn’t there. A perfect panic of fear possessed me; I shared all Har­ riden’s feelings about having the cat in that room for I had been brought up never to let a cat be alone with the dead. I waited a moment more, then hur­ ried to the door of the room, said Kitty, kitty, kitty," very softly and coaxingly but with no result Then I looked in. The room was faintly lighted by one or two rose shaded lamps. No one was there but that still figure under the white sheet on the bed. As I looked into the room, my throat filling with that emotion that death evokes, I saw the overhanging cloth quiver and stir—then out from under the bed came the cat, arching its back against the draping sheet I was des­ perately afraid that it would make a sudden spring on the bed so I stole In softly and tried to catch it but It evaded me and ran towards the fire­ place. “Kitty, kitty, kitty,” I said, my hushed tones appealing, and I thought the creature hesitated, then, as I made another move, It leaped the low screen into the fireplace where the white birch logs were laid and rubbed against one of the tall, brass andirons. Then it stopped rubbing and began to reach up and lick that andiron. It licked along the edges of the brass, first experimentally, then enthusiasti­ cally, and it seemed to me as if all the blood In my body rushed to my heart and pounded there. That andiron— that tall, sharp-pointed andiron. . . . I made a swift rush to the absorbed cat and caught it up. I knew now. I knew something, at any rate. It was like seeing discon­ nected things by lightning. One or two scenes stood out with fiery dis­ tinctness. Another flash and I would see more. I ought to have gone out of that room then. I ought to have gone straight to Donahey and told him. I knew It I moved towards the door, the cat In my arms. And then my eyes fell on a small leather case on the table. Nora Harriden’s dressing case. The case which, I believed, had held her letters. The case which might yet hold them. I make no defense for what I did then. It was utterly indefensible. But I felt on me the pressure of Deck’s des­ perate need, the savageness of Har­ riden’s hate. I felt that Deck’s life might depend upon getting that last letter of his out of Harriden’s hands. And here was opportunity. If I could get that letter back—if no real motive could be shown— I went to that case, and, gripping the cat firmly under my arm, I opened It Swiftly I ran my icy fingers along the green silk lining where I had seen Harrlden’s big, blunt fingers stop sud- cTenly in their exploring. When I had seen his face change to that still at­ tentiveness. But the lining was smooth, unpadded by paper. It was flat Empty. I was so intent that I heard nothing. My first intimation of any approach was Harriden’s harsh voice booming out CHAPTER XIV Those next few moments were brand­ ed In on me with red-hot irons, never think of them without feeling the burning agony of their humiliation, and the utter panic of their fear. That triumphant voice, venting Its rage, shouting a summons for the oth­ ers to come.... That heavy hand grip­ ping tny arm , . . r tried to wrench my­ self away biit Harriden’s hold was like steel. The consciousness of my own foolishness and foolhardiness filled me to suffocation. The room seemed to be crowded with faces, appearing almost at once. They swam before me In a blur of confusion. Hostile faces, quickened with curiosity. The guests of that house-party, I thought hysterically, were like supers In a show, always gathering In some mob scene. They must get a wonder­ ful kick out of It “Looking through my wife’s dressing case—after more jewelry,” Harriden flung out for their benefit I tried again to shake off the im­ prisoning hand. I gasped: “I came in after the cat. . . . It ran In the door." “You little liar! I shut that door when I went out I saw to that." He gave my arm a vicious shake. “You sneaked in here the instant this room was left alone. Jou were watching for the chance—maybe you planned to get It You were after this dressing case, the key to the jewel box. This finishes you. Arrest her, inspector—I demand her arrest!” Donahey bad materialized out of the blue, the cartoon of an official off duty, In his shirt sleeves, vest unbuttoned, a thick cigar In the corner of his heavy mouth. His hard eyes took it all In. “Has she got anything, Mr. Har- riden?” ‘.‘How do I know? I haven't looked yet I just got here and caught her at it." “Well, she can’t get away,” said Don- ahey comfortably, shifting his cigar. “Better take a look round and see if there’s anything missing.’’ Harriden’s grip fell reluctantly from my arm. He went slowly to the closet and looked within to see If the jewel box was safe. I saw him bring It out, try the clasp. It was still locked. There are no words for the agony I felt. The sick mortification. Caught in my own folly. Then he came back and looked into the open dressing case and a sudden thought seemed to strike him. I saw his fingers move over the lining of the case as I had seen them move before. Then his face turned a dark, hideous red. He whirled about and stood over me, thrusting that swarthy, lowering face into my own. “So that’s it, Is it?” he said. His voice was terrible. “You give them back—do you hear?” “Is the key gone?" Donahey was asking, still thinking of the jewel case. “Lost anything?” “Papers,” Harriden ground out. “She took them. . . . Inspector, she’s got a lot of papers on her. Search her, I tell you. Get them back at once.’’ “I haven't any papers,” I said, with sincere thanksgiving that I hadn’t. “Search me, If you like,” and I made a wide gesture with one arm. I let the cat go and heard them putting it out. Then the meaning of it all came to me. The letters had been hidden there, as I surmised—now they were gone. The door had been ajar—he said he had shut it, and I had heard it slam as he and Mitchell had walked off. Some one had come In—Deck had come in and taken the letters. That was the explanation, I realized belatedly, of Deck’s scene downstairs with Letty Van Alstyn—he had been urging her to get Harrlden downstairs, knowing she would be only too glad to do It for the sake of her own desire to be with him. And I had never guessed, never sus­ pected. I had blundered into the room and tried to save him. In that moment I saw him, appear­ ing suddenly at the crowded doorway, staring surprlsedly at me over the crowd. I was afraid that he would blurt out something incriminating him­ self in order to clear me. I didn’t want him telling Harriden to go to the devil, that he had taken his own letters and destroyed them—the scandal would be ineffaceable. I spoke out quickly, “I came In the room after the cat, Mr. Harrlden. I knew you did not want it to run In. And I was just going out when you came and found me—I was just pass­ ing the table where this case happened to be.” You were looking through that case! The cover was open, you little crook— you’d got those letters out. . . . I tell you. Inspector, I want her searched.” At that moment a band slid through my arm and Monty Mitchell was by my side. He was no taller than I, but he seemed a very tower of strength. I felt courage flowing into me through that friendly touch. 'You've gone crazy again, Dan,” he said curtly. “You’ve been having too many drinks with Letty. You heard Mlss Seton say she came In after the cat She is not interested in your let­ters.” “You. mind your business,” Harriden retorted. “What’s SlIiss Seton to you?” “As It happens, we are engaged,” said Monty Mitchell. “That’s what she is to me.” An electric shock seemed to run through that ^ room, but no one there was more completely astonished than I.was myself. Involuntarily I looked about at him, and he gave me back a funny twinkle, his fingers squeezing my arm. I thought what a comfort it would be to put my head down on his shoulder and sob out all my rage and disgust, but pride held my bead high. “That isn’t true,” I heard myself saying. “I don’t need to take ad­ vantage of Mr. Mitchell’s protection— of his wish to establish a position for me. I have one of my own. . . . have taken nothing of Mr. Harriden’s. “You’re a liar!" said Harrlden vio­ lently. “Damn you I I don’t care whether you’re Mitchell’s fancy girl or not.” . Mitchell struck him In the face. He leaped at him like a bull terrier at a mastiff. The blow caught Harrideo unprepared, and he reeled, a hand at his chin, then, with a choking sound be lunged at his assailant With official agility Dooahey’s big • body Intervened; Keller and young Watkins sprang to hold Dan. “Not here, Dan, not here—” Keller's reminder bad Its weight. Harrlden gave a queer look towards the bed, to that still, sheeted figure of his wife, and his arms felL He drew a deep, convulsive breath. He addressed Donahey. “Whoever this girl is, she took those papers.’* “What sort of papers were they, Mr. Harriden?” “Never mind what sort of papers they were. I can identify them quick enough.” “But you have to give us some Idea—” I think Donahey was stalling for time with Mitchell’s angry eyes upon him. “They were letters,” Harrlden rasped out. “Private letters. She is a thief and a blackmailer.” He added, “If they aren’t on her she has de­ stroyed them. They were here when I left this room.” Involuntarily our heads turned to that fireplace but no flames danced there. No fire had been touched off since those white birch logs had been laid In preparation for Mrs. Harri­ den’s arrival. The sight of the andirons exploded something In my brain. It was as though some flash of lightning, the flash I had been waiting for, subcon­ sciously, flung into Indelible brilliance the way before my straining vision. I spoke out, throwing all caution to the winds. “You’ll find blood on one of those andirons, Mr. Inspector. On the left hand one. It is Mrs. Harriden’s blood. . . . It has been washed away, but it is still in the deep places. . . . She was killed by falling on it, by being thrown back upon it.” In the stillness that descended on the room there was literally no sound. Not even of breath. It seemed as If all those people there had become shadows, noiseless, unreal, impalpa­ ble, Incapable of movement. Only Harriden was real, and he' was still, too, still as the dead woman on her bed. I felt as If she lay there, be­ low her sheet, listening intently, wait­ ing upon me. Then a voice came, Harriden’s voice, hoarsened, hardly distinguish­ able. “If you know—that—you did It —you—’’ “No, you,” I said. “When you struck at her the second time. When you fol­ lowed her away from the window. It was you who struck at her at the window,” I went on. “You had comt '■You're a Liar!” up early, though you denied this. No­ body remembered clearly enough to contradict you. You came to he* room, you quarreled and then struck out at her. She fled backwards and you struck at her again. Perhaps you struck her down, perhaps she feU trying to escape you, but she fell across the screen, knocking It over, and her head crashed on that and Iron.” I wasn’t looking at him. I w as look- Ing at that sharp . pointed andiron watching what I saw there. “She came down with all her weight Tou rushed to draw the curtains. T0U lifted her up, carried her Into the closet Perhaps you thought she wag already dead. She'-died very soon her blood on that closet door. . ’ You wiped off the andiron w ith'yi0* handkerchief, you wet the handker­ chief and washed over the andiron but more blood than you knew had run Into the deep grooves of Its deco. rations. Then you washed the hand- kerchief and left It drying on the radiator.” I spoke as if I were seeing it I was seeing it; everything that had been confused and stranga was sud­ denly crystallized and gore. And through it all I had that e?rle feeling that the dead woman was listening to me, approving each word. “You were aghast but you concen­ trated on your danger,’’ I Sai& -y “ locked the closet and went In vonr room and dressed for dinner Then you came back and rang for maid.

Then and Now.VOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Modern Forms of Persecution. Leaders of contem porary thought and observers of m odern life decry the evident decadence of old-fasn- ioned virtues* Our tim es are too m aterialistic, encouraging young people to strive for worldly success rather than high and noble char­ acter*In a tim e when expediency is the ruling principle, it is- well for Chris­ tians to emphasize the fact that fol­ lowing Christ has through all the years called for that loyalty to con­ victions which has caused some who bear his nam e to be willing to die for him, yea, even to live and to suffer for him , for sometimes it m ay be harder to do the latter than the form er. True followers of our Lord are willing. I. Xo Die for the Faith (7:54-8:1). Stephen, one of the first seven chosen as deacons of the church, “a m an full of faith and of the Holy Spirit” (6:5), having been called before the Sanhedrin to answer false charges (6:8-15), faithfully stands for Ihe truth. His indictment of Israel cuts to the heart. In anger his hearers stone him to death. He becomes the first m artyr of the Church, that holy succession which has representatives in the young manhood and womanhood of today, ready, like John and Betty Stam t to die rather than to deny Christ. Note that in this hour Stephen was given .a vision of his risen and ascended Lord (v. 55), standing at the right hand of God to welcome his faithful servant. He prayed for those who took his life (v. 60). How gloriously that prayer was an­ swered in the subsequent life of the young m an Saul, who was “consent­ ing unto his death.” Not to all who follow Christ comes the need to face death for him, but all. should be determined. n. To Live for the Faith (8:2-4). The early Church found that liv­ ing for Christ entailed bitter perse­ cution. Not even the sanctity of their homes was inviolate. Their persons and property felt the hard hand of havoc-making Saul, yet we find no intimation of complaint. Soon they were driven from home and. scattered abroad, but the re­ sult was the establishing of gospel centers wherever they went. Liv­ ing for Christ calls for daily witness, for m ore than steadily bearing the responsibility of life. Not to preach­ ers and Bible teachers alone is this sacred duty given, to be discharged only in a church service or Bible school. No, “they that w ere scat­ tered abroad”—all of them went "everywhere.” They were not m ere­ ly reforming or devoting their lives to social service, good as these m ight have been, but “preaching the word” (v. 4). Are we who are now “scattered abroad” going “everywhere,” and are we “preaching the word” ? m . To Suffer for the Faith (I Pet. 4:12-19). 1. We are not to be surprised by suffering (v. 12), not even by fiery trials, for blessings will follow. The Lord proves his children, even as the refiner tests gold to cleanse it, to prove its worth, and not to de­ stroy it. God’s testings are to prove us worthy. 2. We are so to live as not to suf­ fer for our misdeeds (w . 15, 16). Many are they who would have the world believe they suffer for Christ’s sake when they are but meeting the gust recompense for their evil deeds It is a sham e to suffer as an evil- ^°£r» 311 honor and privilege to suffer for Jesus’ sake. 3. Believers are to m ake their sufferings a testimony (w . 17-19). If we as Christians m ust needs be purged m order to be fitted for Gods service and the glory that 1S to come, what will be the end “know not and obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ” (U Thess. 1:7, 8)? inp w h a t^ 11^3 ^ ? m even Mention­ing what their ultimate end will be, Y lter to t*1® Thessalonians g°fs .°£ say that they shall be ‘P ^ hed with everlasting deduc­tion &om the presence of the Lord tlIe glory of his power.” solJm*? words are these.

C. 0 DROUTH MAY RIVAL THAT OF ’34 Befall Far Short of Former Dry Periods; Dakotas Hardest Hit- Federal Government Acts to Prevent Disaster. By W ILLIAM C. UTLEY ON C E again the plains of the West are thirsting in a maior drouth that may surpass in destruction, desolation and de­ spair even the record drouth of the spring of 1934..Rainfall has been far less in some states this spring than in 1934 al ,hough this year there has been an absence of the sweltering heat which acco m p an ied the earlier drouth. ' W orst conditions have been in the western part of the Dakotas eastern Montana and Wyoming; in a somewhat smaller area where , h e corners of Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico and Oklahoma meet- another area of about the same size m southeastern Missouri and. ..I a # iba Cnnfnaoet a *a vast region of the Southeast,^ Siding generous slices of Ala- tona,Tennessee, Georgia, the Caro- L s, Kentucky, Virginia and Penn- tvlvania Over the remainder of the states between the Alleghenies and the Rockies, except for some areas about the Great Lakes and in New England, poor pasture conditions * The result has been to throw thou- sands of farm families on the re­ lief rolls; to cause more thousands to move out of the drouth regions into other states; to drive prices of food higher and higher, with dollar wheat once more returned to Chicago and other markets, and to spur the federal government to swift operation of remedial agen­ cies. Drouth Talk Displaces Politics There is little talk of anything else but the drouth in th_ stricken plains; the speculation as to the chances of rain overshadow even the argumentative possibilities of politics in one of the most colorful and interesting political campaigns of the nation's history. The ba­ rometer and the thermometers are under even closer scrutiny than pri­ mary returns and stray votes. Prayers for rain by the farm ers of the Northwest have been largely in vain, with clear, unclouded skies still looking down over the parched grazing lands. Crops are suffering from the effects of the dust blown upon them, while live stock are hungry from lack of feed, which has been likewise damaged by the silt. Tkre has been some little rain in the Swhwesl, indeed heavy rainstorms the list Keek in June in Texas were so se­ me that 26 persons were drowned In lie food which resulted. Dozens of Imes were stvept away along the banks cj Big Sandy creek near San Antonio. IfcSouthicesr benefited little from slight getipitation during May. Ihe Dakotas probably have been the hardest hit. The governors of Wl states, as well as Senator Nye OiAorth Dakota, regarded their sit- iafion as serious enough to w arrant ter making a personal visit upon He President of the United States, tomake a plea for money to feed hve stock and bring relief to dis- tassed farming people. The gov­ ernment has undertaken to render jchat assistance it can; cattle will he moved out of the drouth lands Jhlo better pasture, but there will he no wholesale slaughter as there was last year. During the month of antI tlIe WPA revealed that hundreds of family heads would have to be transferred to the relief rolls immediately. Their cattle had been sold and in most cases they bad already piled up what Mr. Hop­ kins called “mountains of debt.” Reporting about results of the dry spring of 1934 and other drouth pe- h Ip^s SaW durinS ^ e ISmonths before last December 15 more than 32,000 persons had beer!

These are sup­ posed to conserve the rain. • lnnW regions the CCC is assist­ ing the soil conservation service in the undertaking. It is beUeved that if the farm ers can be taught to put vegetation on part of their land and ° / ufr°w correctly, the campaign will be successful in eliminating most drouth disasters. To make possible the storage of water for use in times of drouth, the reclamation service of the Depart­ ment of the Interior has under way a series of dam and irrigation proj­ ects in the western states. Some lesser projects of this nature have been on the WPA schedule. These projects are of ambitious scope and wide range. At the top What 1934 Drouth Did to Once Rich Grazing Lands.

In practicaHy all of the areas, the severe drouth of 1934 intensified the distressing rural economic condi­ tions which have been accumulating over a period of yeari. J~ “The extent of wind erosion and crop damages has varied widely in different sections of the stricken area; a few sections, favored with norm al rainfall over a long period, have escaped soil and crop ravages altogether. This is true of sections of the Red River vaHey in North Dakota, part of southeastern So-- Dakota and to some extent ’south­ eastern Nebraska.” In other regions, such as the north Texas plains, he said, wind erosion has damaged as much as 95 per cent of the land. Some of the land is damaged so badly that it is doubtful whether it will ever be able to support crops in the fu­ ture. Hopkins declared that much of the crop land in sandy loam areas should be converted into permanent grass land. Drastic reductions in the herds of cattle in some of the states have resulted from reduction of pasture land by three-fourths.

It was planned to carry the work reHef pro­ gram until December I and as far beyond that date as the weather would perm it, at an average wage of $44 a month. Compensation for use of farm ers’ team s would bring the average to about $60 a month. Three Government Program s. Officials of the federal govern­ m ent say to the farm ers that the G reat Plains can be prevented from becoming a desert if proper precau­ tions are taken. Science has not yet devised a way to m ake it rain, but the government now has under way a program of three divisions to pro­ vide for the storage of what mois­ ture exists and to prevent soil ero­ sion. / First of the three divisions fe the soil By j Per cent of normal.

Resettlement Program . In a third division of the program, the resettlement administration, un­ der Professor Tugwell, has under way a $10 ,000,000 schedule of pur­ chase of submarginal lands to com vert them into pasture in combat­ ing drouths. Under this plan, it is proposed to buy 1,282,522 acres of the submarginal land at $2 an acre; it has already m ade some Uttle progress. The program is divided into two parts, one of which in­ volves six projects in the Plains states, embracing 415,000 acres. The other part includes the pur­ chase of 867,522 acres of Indian grazing land on the Rio Grande watershed of New Mexico. The conception of the resettlement pro­gram includes the moving of 650 families to better land qt a cost of $3,300,000— that’s $5,076 a family. It also comprises $2,645,000 for the purchase of land, and $300,000 for antierosion work and the development of plains land. There was a fourth division of the federal government’s battle against the drouth menace, the $75,000,000 shelter-belt program, but this pro­ gram has been dropped, due largely to opposition which labeled it im­ practical. Approximately $3,000,- 000 had already been spent. The idea was to plant a belt of trees 100 miles wide and more than 1,000 m iles long, stretching from the Canadian border across the Great Plains to Texas. Its pro­ ponents contended that such a shel­ ter belt would break the erosion- causing winds and conserve some of the moisture. The weather bureau says that it would have no effect on r a in fall itself. However,- congress refused to appropriate the funds needed for the project, and Comp­ troller General McCarl1 recently re­ tired, ruled that the President could not use $15,000,000 of drouth relief funds for the purpose. McCarl did, under protest, permit the use of a sm aller sum. Some shelter-belt strips, along a 1,300 mile line, have been planted. Such a strip consists of a narrow row of trees up to a half mile long. © Western Newspaper Union.

BRISBANE THIS WEEK In Ancient .Nile Mnd England Keeps Ready , Let the Dead Sleep - M nrderStartsEarly Paris.—Reclining on her side, her body oovered with gold, gold _ necklaces on her neck and on the ground nearby, a r c- h aeologlsts discover the well- preserved body of an Egyptian prin­ cess whose fa­ ther, the Pharoah Chephren, built the second big­ gest pyramid; it was his brother, Cheops, who built the largest. Those pyramids were tombs for kings, and search­ ers found the princess in one of them. The Nile mud seeping into the tomb had helped to preserve her. That princess, living 5,000 years ago, could tell an interesting story for the movies. She ‘-‘built herself a small pyramid with stones given to her by her many lovers.” Where do you suppose she is now? In some strange Egyptian heaven, perhaps, with all those admirers around her. Arthnr Brisbane England, alarmed by European war threats, issues an official ‘‘white paper” explaining why— “The relation of our own armed forces to those of other great pow­ ers should be maintained at a fig­ ure high enough to enable us to exercise our influence and authori­ ty in international affairs.” Unfortunately for all plans, the airplane in the hands of a des­ perate nation might upset all na­ tional “authority,” just as a. pistol in the hands of a desperate m an upsets individual and police au­ thority. One bullet will stretch individ­ ual authority in the dust; 1,000 air­ planes, attacking the heart of a great city, might cause national “authority” to end in demoraliza­ tion. England’s - new defense increase will be largely in her air force; that wise nation knows that the real “ocean” in future wars will be the ocean of the air. In a desert of southeastern Utah, men and women, belonging to the cult of “truth seekers,” were gath­ ered around the body of Mrs. Edith Dakhal, who died more than a year ago. You read about it, perhaps. Mrs. Ogden, leader of the “truth seekers,” prayed over the body, which appeared marvelously pre­ served. The “truth seekers” be­ lieve they will bring the woman back to life, but the pathetic 'fact is that it would not in the .least m atter if they did. The important thing is to im­ prove the condition of 1,800,000,000 actually living on the earth. For one safely out of it to be brought back would be unimportant, in these days, and perhaps cruel. America holds the world’s “mur­ der championship” for all kinds of murder, at all ages—quantify, qual­ ify, variety, volume: A New Jersey boy, 16 years old, was sentenced to death. In Wisconsin, a coroner reports that little David Holl, two months old, was killed by two boys four and three years of age. They each held one hand of the younger one, and dropped it on the floor. It cried and would not stop. Then, one * of the small boys ex. plained, “We pounded him.” These youngest “killers” puzzle the law. You can’t “try” a four-year- old child. Railroads tell the interstate com­ m erce commission they would like fares reduced to two and a half ’ cents a mile, instead of two cents. The railroads should have all possi­ ble consideration, for they have built up this country, but at two and a half cents a mile they will not compete successfully with auto­ mobiles carrying passengers for one-quarter of a cent a mile. New York proposes to fingerprint everybody, new babies included. The b ab y ' of the future will be busy, with finger-printing, tonsil and appendix removal, vaccination for smallpox and a half dozen oth­ er diseases. ' The new treaty with France, re­ ducing the duty on French wines and liquors by 50 per cent, inter­ ests California and other wine growing states. It should persuade them to stabilize the production of wines, establish official guarantees -of purity, freedom from adultera­ tions, m ixtures, and especially “fortifying” with alcohol. In Europe, notably in France, adulteration of wines is an offense against the law. . With us, it is a business. For advertising reasons, a group of men made a long distance hike on a diet of broken grain to prove the superiority of that diet.

By EDWARD W. PICKARD © Western Newspaper Union, W HTT1E relentless heat drove the nation’s farm losses from drouth toward the $300 ,000,000 m ark and sent grain price's soar­ ing, long needed rains in scat­ tered regions of the drouth belt brought temporary relief. In sec­ tions of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and Ohio, which faced the prospect of the disaster already confronting the Northwest, the rains were a God­ send to sun-parched com fields, pastures, and crops of spring wheat. Rains in the Northwest re­ vived portions of North and South Dakota, Montana and Nebraska. But a heat wave lasting nearly a week had brought tem peratures ranging from 90 to 114 in the Great Plains territory. Twenty-three states, eight of them in the South, were listed as suffering in some degree from the drouth. Ten of them—North and South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Minnesota, Missouri, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Virginia and South Car­ olina—were already in a critical ige. Five others — Kentucky, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina and West Virginia—were borderline cases. Eight others where the full severity of the drouth had not yet been felt were: Nebraska, Wiscon­ sin, Iowa, Michigan, Illinois, Kan­ sas, Indiana and Ohio. With the full extent of the dam­ age in the “dust bowl” area of the Northwest not yet known, the fed­ eral government m ade plans to deal with a long-range disaster. President Roosevelt, taking person­ al command of the relief program in Washington, announced that he would make a personal tour of the drouth-stricken areas within the next few weeks. The President announced that the federal government had prepared a comprehensive plan whereby 170,000 out of 204,000 farm families impoverished by the drouth in the Northwest would be given immedi­ ate cash assistance. He declared that he will m ake his trip after the relief program has had an opportu­ nity to get under way, to see for himself exactly how much damage was caused by the drouth and whether financially-ruined families are receiving the proper assistance. He said that 50,000 farm ers were being given jobs immediately on WPA projects at an average wage of $15 per week, carrying out use­ ful work—digging wells, construct­ ing earth dams to hold any rains which m ay fall in the near future and building farm-to-market roads. A livestock program is under way which would call for the movement of cattle from the arid sections as a private enterprise, to protect the foundation herds of the’ livestock growers.

GO VERNOR Alf M. Landon re- turned to Topeka, Kas., after a vacation in the Colorado moun­ tains, for the reconvening of. the state legislative and to prepare for the acceptance speech he will deliver at. the Republican notifica­ tion ceremonies July 23. The Republican presidential nom­ inee appeared before a-joint ses­ sion of the legislature and urged passage of amendments to the state constitution to provide adequate so­ cial security measures. Governor Landon declared. that care of. the needy aged and others suffering misfortunes is a “public obliga­ tion”. - Following his address, the Kan­ sas senate adopted a constitutional amendment by a- vote of 35 to I, empowering the legislature to en­ act a uniform system of direct aid for needy aged persons, indigent infirm persons and others suffering misfortunes which give them a claim on society for aid. It Iiker wise passed by a unanimous vote another proposed constitutional amendment authorizing the state to levy taxes on employers and em­ ployees for systems of old age pen­ sions and unemployment insurance to which the beneficiary m ust con­ tribute. Meanwhile, Governor Landon opened a series of m ajor confer­ ences with farm leaders for the purpose of drafting a farm relief program for inclusion in his ac­ ceptance speech. He conferred with former Governor Frank Ch Lowden of Tllinnis1 and form er Senator Otis F. Glenn, Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas, Representative Clifford Hope of Kansas and R. K. Lauben- gayer, a Kansas farm , publisher. A S THE long-awaited campaign to unionize the nation’s steel industry was under way, one of the most serious crises in the history of the American labor rillmovement arose W Sfj when strife broke I qjflj out between Wil- Iiam Green, presi- dent of the Ameri- ^ can Federation of Labor and John L. jj the U nited Mme Workers of America and. head of the Committee for In- Wiuiam dustrial Organiza- Green tion, who has pro­ moted the unionization drive in the steel industry. Meeting in Washington, the exec­ utive council of the American Fed­ eration of Labor considered the m atter of suspending eight national and international unions on the ground that these eight unions have begun the formation of a rival, or duel labor federation. John L. Lewis announced that he would not respond to a summons, of the executive council to answer charges that he had violated the federation’s policy by trying to or­ ganize 500,000 steel workers into one big industrial union instead of into, several unions divided by crafts. , . Should the rift widen and a break'- occur, observers' believe it would split the organized labor movement and affect its prestige and. power at a critical tim e.' Denouncing the action of , the Iiewis group, President Green de­ clared: “It is sincerely to be regretted that the committee for industrial organization thwarted the purpose of the American Federation of-La­ bor to inaugurate a n organizing campaign in the steel industry.” Back of the collision over the at­ tempted unionization of tfe steel industry are two contending schools of thought over the future ,of or­ ganized labor in America. One is that sponsored by Mr. Green which rose to power, on a policy of trained craftsmen, trained by crafts The other is championed by John L. Lewis who visions a powerful labor machine organized regardless of crafts, which includes the , semi­ skilled and unskilled workers as well as the trained craftsmen. D EFYING the threats Ofi Com­ m unist m embers of the cham­ ber of deputies, the French gov­ ernment decided to use .armed force “with care” to oust French strikers who refuse, to evacuate their places of business. The announcement of this new policy was m ade by Mmister of the Interior Roger Salengro, fol­ lowing the outbreak of fresh “fold­ ed arm ” strikes in Paris and the provinces. It was estim ated that 80,000 workers were still on strike in various industries throughout France. SENATOR William E. Borah, about whose future political plans considerable doubt exist­ ed, formally announced that he would be a candi­ date for re-election to the senate. Several days . be­ fore making his' an­ nouncement t h e Idaho statesm an had pledged alle­ giance to the Re­ publican ticket and platform, thus re^ moving th e ?ex- pressed doubts of „ .many political lead- Senator ; ers throughout, the • r ; country regarding his stand in the presidential campaign. Previously Senator Borah had commented fa­ vorably on both the Republican and Democratic platforms, praising both for the stand-'they had taken on the question of monopolies. The seventy-one-year-old senator in clarifying his position on the Re­ publican platform said:. . j. “I have n o intention of boltmg the .-.C1I mI am supporting the. platfonn and I h a v e been supporting the platform from the beginning. SOON after returning to his desk from a three-day pilgrimage to Virginia, President Roosevelt an­ nounced that he had granted Post­ m aster General Jam es A. Farley leave of absence without pay from August I to November 5, the day after the presidential elections. Thus Mr. Farley will be freed from official duties to devote him­ self 'during the next three months to the direction of the, President’s campaign for re-election. The an­ nouncement did not come as a sur­ prise to those in informed political circles in Washington, but it ■ had been rum ored in' some quarters that Mr; Farley would resign his cabinet post and. retain his job as chairman of the' Democratic Na­ tional committee. Mr. Farley announced that Rep­ resentative Sam Rayburn of Texas would be chairm an of the Demo­ cratic speakers’ bureau. Thfe cam­ paign, he said, would be in full swing by Labor Day.. President Roosevelt’s sojourn in Virginia took him to the dedication of Shenandoah National Park, to Montieello, the home of Thomas Jefferson and to Williamsburg, capi­ tal of the Old Dominion from 1699 to 1779. In an address at- Jeffer­ son’s home, the President called on the nation to rekindle the “sacred fire” of “true freedom” which had lighted the “golden age” of Ameri­ can history. He declared the pres­ ent emergency required the sam e leadership as that displayed by Thomas Jefferson. CUTTING a big cake to celebrate his ninety-seventh birthday, John D. Rockefeller predicted that he would live to be one hundred. Despite tem perature of 92 in the shade, the famous nonagenarian donned a sun helmet and went out­ doors on his sum m er estate near Lakewood, N. J. The m ultim illionaire oil m an an# philanthropist did not let the cele­ bration of his birthday interfere •with his daily nap or his daily aft­ ernoon automobile ride. Mr. Rockefeller long since has given up all form s of athletic activ­ ities, including golf, form erly his favorite pastime. A few years ago he was down to a few holes of golf a day, but now he has given it up entirely..’ It has been his custom to spend his winters at Ormond Beach, Fla., and his sum m ers ei­ ther at Lakewood or at his- other estate at Pocantico Hills near Tar- rytown,-N. Y. VgTAR-W ORRIED Europe shifted its anxiety from the Italo- Ethiopian sanctions problem to the newer and baffling question of what to do about the. Free City of Danzig now seeking to free:itself from ' the bonds of the League of Na­ tions. The league dis­ posed of the sanc­ tions problem by lWiting to abolish them, thus to all practical intents and Adolf Ritlor PuHioses removingAdolf Hitler Ethiopia Irom the family of sovereign states. Appear­ ing personally before the league as­ sembly, the refugee emperor, Haile Selassie,' m ade a last moving bid for Ethiopia’s freedom. The “king of kings” denounced France and Great Britain without mentioning their names. To the generally expressed desire to re­ form the league, he said the weak­ ness was not the league covenant itself, but a lack of international m orality. The Negus’ request for- a loan of $50,000,000 to Ethiopia was voted down. Previously Haile had informed Capt. Anthony Eden, Brit­ ish foreign secretary, that he would return to Ethiopia immediately t6 join his IoyM tribesmen and fight for Ethiopian independence. With Mussolini given satisfaction, the Danzig situation brought into the foreground the figure of Adolf Hitler, chancellor of Nazi Germany. It was a Nazi follower of Hitler, Dr. Arthur Greiser, president: of ’the Danzig senate, who demanded inde­ pendence for the form er Gerinan city now surrounded by Polish ter­ ritory and . who denounced the league and Sean Lester, league high commissioner for the port. Observers were of the opinion that GreIser was acting Undfer or­ ders from Chancellor Hitler. In view of Germany’s expansionistprogram and its rearm am ent, they feel that Danzig will be the next Nazi objective now that the Rhine­ land is rem ilitarized.' By the elim­ ination of Commissioner Lester or by the curtailment of his authority over the international affairs of the city,' it is believed the Nasi would be in a position to crush the opposi­ tion party and pave the way for an­ nexation of Danzig by Gerinany.

Washington.—As the full m ean­ ing of the platform s of the two m ajor party con- T w o ventions sinks in, P la tfo rm s certain very defi- n i t e conclusions cannot be avoided. In each in­ stance, the two old political organi­ zations have moved into virgin territory, entirely new fields. hi the case of the Republicans, their Cleveland convention com­ pletely reorganized their party leadership and placed the responsi­ bility in the hands of younger men, casting onto the ash heap along with the old guard leaders, m any of the old tim e conservative ideas. In the case of the Democrats, their Philadelphia convention vir­ tually created a. new party. K iey. went further toward the radical side than they have ever gone be­ fore. In no spirit of criticism , it m ust be said that the Philadelphia convention really gave birth to a New Deal party, as such. The one thing they kept w as the Democrat­ ic label. The them e song of the Republi­ can platform was molded out of the fabric that is part and parcel of the younger generation as dis­ tinguished from the attitude given birth and promoted and protected by the Penroses, the Lodges, the Smoots and others of that texture. This is to say that the Republican convention, for the first time-, in m any years, has moved its cam­ paign pronouncements out onto something approximating a mor­ al'plan, or at least the evidence is they have attem pted to do so. The Democrats, having h ad 'ten days between the Republican con­ vention and their own in which-to study the Republican document and improve upon it, went consid­ erably beyond their opponents in the language they used. They have m ade an appeal to the vot­ ers of the nation that surely will attract m any thousands of voters to the support of Mr. Roosevelt. On the other hand, the Philadel­ phia convention proceeded to cast aside m any traditions, m any prin­ ciples, which old line Democrats, who love the Jeffersonian theory, regard as their political bibie, and they m ay antagonize that segm ent of the old party by.so doing.. .To .{State the proposition in: am. other way, m any observers and po­ litical analysts hold that while the Dmnocratic platform contains few­ er contradictions than does the Re­ publican pronouncement and . that, on the whole, it is a m uch better w ritten platform , they have leaned so far to the radical side that they are leaving conservative Demo­ crats and old gUard Republicans only one place to go—to the Re­ publican candidate. This develops because, in the first instance, the old guard Republicans obviously cannot em brace a Democratic plat­ form which they regard as too lib­ eral and they have no choice but the Republicans. The conservative Dem ocrats will have the choice to m ake. They can go to the New Deal party or they can rem ain as old line Dem ocrats and swallow their pride of party affiliation long enough to support' the Republican, Governor ,Landon. * * * One m ay look back over the do­ ings a t Philadelphia and recognize , , , th at the meetingunder w a s thoroughly Orders controlled from Washington. That was natural because the party in power obviously has all of the im­ portant federal offices filled with its own m en. The convention in­ cluded among - its delegates about 64 per cent of federal .office holder- delegates. That explains better than any way I know how the 104-year-old two-thirds rule w as so easily abro­ gated. That rule has been a sore spot in conventions for years It has m any tim es been the direct catJse °f hitter convention battles and has bred scores of bitter per- ?.°na\ ^ ° ? . ities' » waS none the ^ however, to seethe Philadelphia delegates toss out principles of the Democratic party with such Uttfer abandon convinced that the Demo- “ ats llaVe not seen the fend of the two-thirds rule yet.

Soma observers point out that this ac- i tion m ay invite comparison be­ tween the political ideals of Itan- as Jefferson and Fraoldin D. Roosevelt because surely tae is m uch more in the Declarationdfc dependence than the simple expres-1 sion that certain truths are self- evident. • * • In these days when the world, at I well as the American nation, is sorely troubled sod Talk disturbed, those About Peace Americans who an convinced that iso­ lation m ay ruin our country, caa I find little satisfaction either in f * Democratic or Republican pi forms. This may not seem in* I portant until one looks back ovu the last two decades. Examinabon ] of what has happened in that linn I is sufficient to demonstrate the Sg- nificance of this isolationist traU [ by both major political parties. The Republican plank on foreip I affairs has little to say and what® says is chiefly negative. The pi® drafted by the Roosevelt ato® stration and adopted by the P delphia convention is as neM» as the milky way. Each Phli talks about peace but it is . I cidedly doubtful that either form has offered a genuine to obtain or maintain peace. It was only natural that the «• publicans should restatet * position to the League of Na It was likewise only naturf W the Democratic plank on l°w affairs should be full of ^ i generalities because it is I remembered that the late_ & Wilson has coimttess Jollowers^ j of N*- American supP°* | the New Deal party ^ i conviction that the Leag , tions, with Amencan ^ would solve most world p ^ I It is obvious, therefore, that I Democrats could not c party either to League or non-adherence. Except for the party sP “ .^ea, old Wilsonian policies whos . stood as a ghost in the ^ in the Phfladelphia r0"ven de6citi I might have exPect^ hiIaddl " declarations from the _ conclave.

Newspapers Raise Issue as to Farley Drive for Funds. i Newspapers throughout the coun- s try are discussing the part now be- I ing played by postmasters m the .presidential campaign: In several !instances, it has been reported in I the press, postmasters have been i ordered by Postm aster General j Farley to assist in arranging Dem- ; ocratic rallies for which tickets are Ito be sold. The proceeds a rt to I go toward Democratic campaign I expenses. I ' Editors are calling attention to [the fact that postmasters are for- : hidden to have anything to do with 'the raising of campaign moneys. ■ The same restriction applies to all !other federal employes. The law ! is a part of the criminal code and punishment for violation of it is I a fine of $5,000, or three years im- '■ prisonment in Uie penitentiary. :: The following is reprinted from 'the Johnston City (HI.) Progress ; of June 12, 1936: I “Postmaster General Jam es A. I Farley, who rated the headlines I recently with his ‘typical prairie j state’ slur of the middle-west states, called Postm aster W. H.I McAlpin at Marion by telephone I Tuesday morning and ordered i him to contact the county Demo- ' cratic committee and make ' plans for a banquet or ball on ■ June 27 at $1.00 per person as the I opening gun in the national Dem- : ocratic campaign. It will be re­ called that less than ‘three long I years’ ago Postmaster General Farley removed a Marion post- . m aster (not to mention others ; in this county and elsewhere)I because of ‘political activities’.” Other Instances ' Several postmasters have re­ belled against Mr. Farley’s orders. ,The following is quoted from the Baltimore Sun, of June 15, 1936: ‘Alexander W. Graham, post- ! m aster of Kansas City, Mo., is ! quoted as saying that he had been called on the telephone by the Democratic national commit­ tee and asked to serve as chair­ m an of a finance committee. He declined, saying: ‘I thought it would be better to handle it in ; another way.’ Leslie L. Travis, postmaster of Joplin,- Mo., is quoted as saying that he had been requested by Farley ‘to - heiad a finance committee’, but refused to serve because to do so ‘would lay him open to fine and imprisonment for political activities’. Another postmaster, saying that he had been asked by Farley to do the work, was assured that his being postmas­ ter would not ‘in any way inter­ fere.’ Others make similar state­ ments, bringing the m atter direct­ ly home to the Postmaster-Gen­ eral." There are some 46,000 postmas­ ters in the United States. Long distance calls to any large propor­ tion of them would involve the tax­ payer in heavy telephone bills. A [!call from the Postm aster General in Washington to the postmaster in Marion, Hl., would cost $3.25. It would cost more if it took longer th an three minutes for Mr. Farley to explain just how the campaign :money was to be piled up. Mean­ while Mt. Hoosevelt repeats that he is for the m erit system as a means of keeping federal jobs and 'jobholders out of politics. I Solicitors “Run Wild” * The Washington Daily News said on June 15, 1938: S1 “Fund solicitors are running j wild again in federal agencies Ic here, most of them attempting to j. finance the Democratic cam- : paign.” The News prints the text of the law governing the practices al­ leged. It is as follows: - 1 “It is unlawful for any officer or employe of the U. S., or any ‘ person receiving any salary or 1 compensation for services de- s- rived from the Treasury of the : United States to directly or in­ i' directly solicit, receive, or be in I any m anner concerned in solicit- j, ing or receiving any assessment, subscription, or contribution for I- any political purpose whatever : from -ny such officer, employe or person.” There are 110,000 employes of the executive department alone in ,Washington. Higher paid employ­ es are asked to. give $100 for a memorial book and the rank and file are offered a copy of the Demo­ cratic national committee’s con­ vention souvenir program for $2.50. The News comments, “Many are willing to contribute, to anything that even faintly resembles job in­ surance.” *i - ~ — —T“~ — Hams from Poland With imports now exceeding ex­ ports farm ers are worrying about foreign competition in Hie Ameri­ can m arket. One of the import item s that is causing serious con­ cern is the Polish ham. It under­ sells the American product and as a result packinghouse employment is reduced.

The American Liberty League ^ of which a number of North Carolina citizens, several from Winston-Salem are contributors have issued a chal­ lenge to Boss Jim Farley, wet nurse for Franklin D. Roosevelt, to make good the “false and defamatory language” which he. has used against the league. Farle was charged specifically in the committee’s statement with hav­ ing said in a speech at the Philadel­ phia Democratic national convention. “ Behind the Republican ticket is the crew of the du Pont Liberty League and their allies, which have undercover the increased bid.

We read much and we hear much about capital and labor always being in conflict. How are we to discern between a capitalist and laborer? Anyone who has money, a home stocks, bonds or other savings is a capitalist. If you have a participa ting insurance policy, though you do not own any property of conse­ quence, vou are a capitalist because your money is being used in many different ways as loaned capital. The man who labors tor another today In this country may be your employer tomorrow. When a young man Henry Ford was a tinkering mechanic. Today we say he is a capitalist. It is the opportunity for -a man to rise from labor to employer that gives America the name of be ing “ The land of the free.” Lincoln pnce said: “ There is no permanent class of hired laborers amongst us. Twen ty-five years ago I was a hired labor er, The hireed laborer of yesterday lahors on his own account today, and will hire others to labor for him tomorrow.” That, you say, was. true when Lincoln Jived, but is not true today? Well, Rose Wilder Lane was once a Communist sympathizer. Study has reconverted her to American principles. In her book, “ Give Me Liberty,” she says: Europeans can think in terms of labor, capital, system and the state. One can speak of Labor in Paris, where one working class is •rigidly distinct from' other classes; in England, where their very speech their clothing and their schooling set them apart; in Rome, where workingmen are proud to know that even a workingman's life serves Italy, and in Venice where only the son of a gondolier has ever been per­ mitted to become a gondolier. “ In America a man works but he is not Labor. A hundred million men, working, are not Labor. They are a hundred million indi­ viduals with a hundred million backgrounds, characters, ambitions and degrees of ability ” —Ex. From A Democrat The Democratic party has held sway in North Carolina state politics for a good many .vears. :In fact it has been so one sided that whoever put up for office was considered al­ ready elected. This time, however, there were too many “ put up” for the gover­ nor's position, it seems, and there were certain issues which were very controversial. It begins to look like the party strength is going to be weakened by it. TLe Democrats seemed to be like ill of the men who came out for the governor’s race, but a great many of the voters voted against certain ones because of the controversial matters involved in their views as they ex­ pressed them in their campaigns. Now that the elimination bouts have been fought, some were elimi­ nated who stood for some of things which a great many voters desired and which they fear will not be ac­ complished if the winner is placed the office. That is where the weakening of party lines may be found. It is not a t all unusual these days to Kear staunch and staid Democrats engaged in “ tyrannical” conversa­ tion regarding'w hat they m ight do in the November election. ' Not the least danger of it all is th at the Re­ publicans have a candidate that is well liked bv'voters of both parties. M anyof the Democrats could vote for him w ithout a conscience strick­ en pang, so they have been heard to say. .■■ . , „The usual talk of certainty of elec­ tion of the Democratic candidate is going the “certainty” is genuine — Statesville Record. Dumb: “ We’re going to give the bride a shower.” . Dumber:. “ Count me 10■ 111 bring the;soap ” SUMBER I Profligate Government. Here is a comparison that will give the taxpayers of America something to. thmk about. From the time of President Washington (1789) to the time of President Wilson. (1913) the successive Federal congresses ap? propriated a total of $24,000,000,000 That sum paid all the central govern­ ment s expenses for the 124 years, including the roat of a number of wars, such as the War Between the States. War of 1812 and Spanish- American. During the last four years, two congresses have appropriated about $35 500,000.000—eight billion more than was appropriated from the in­ ception of the American government up to the first administration of Wilson. Today taxation saps the wealth of the nation to a menacing extent. At least 20 per cent of the people’s total earnings are taken by the tax- gatherers. and the percentage would be mucb greater if it were Hot for t ie fact that a large part of the spending is being charged against the fature, in the form of public'debt. A thousand industries have discov­ ered the meaning of “profitless pros­ perity”—their output and sales are soaring, but their profits are not. because of the tax bill. This all means that employment opportunities are constantly lessened for men and women—that industrial expansion and ppending are stopped— that investors are frightened and re­ fuse to place their savings in ven­ tures that would create, new sources of wealth and employment. Taxation is an intensely personal problem — i t menaces everyone’s source of income, whether that in* come'&ems-from a job or an invest­ ment. We cannot have real and permanent prosperity so long as we permit government to disburse our dollars with profligate hands.—Ex. More Information About “Marshal Ney There is so much agitation over the identity of Peter Stuart Ney, or Marshall Ney, that I thought what I have heard might-be of interest. I was reared within two mile3 of the James McCIarnroch old home where Ney boarded when teaching in that section. It’s near Mocksville. When in my teens I happened to teach the grandchildren of McCIam- roch and was associated with them. My father who was a great historian kept up with Ney He believed this man tp be undoubtedly Marshall Ney. I got a history of him verbally from the sons of McClamroch. Ney drank and would get on spreer. When drinking he would gi e orders to troops and say I am Marshall Ney of France. Then when the yopng Napoieon was dethroned, I think it was then or. when Napoleon died (I am not sure) he wept terribly and tore his hair and burned bis private papers, crying: "I’ll never see France again!” He kep! his room locked in for a week, weeping and mourning. This was told me by McClamrock?s family. Iarr sure hewas Marshall Ney the bravest of the brave.—Mrs. Maggie Cory ,-in Statesville Daily. No Joke4 Often we have heard it said iu a joking way that it was hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk, and we haye always accepted the smile as a joke, but now it no longer is a joke. We saw it actually demon­ strated right in front of our office Friday afternoon. ' A fresh egg was broken- on the iron cap that covered the water. It was about two o’clock in the after­ noon. In less time than you could get an egg served in any restaurant, this egg appeared perfectly cOoked “ sunny side up.” It looked good enough to eat; and no heat was ap­ plied except th at feeat'from old sol” th at seems to. be; burning up the country these days.

(By Frank'P. Litschert), One of the most significant facts vbich came out of the New Deal na- ional convention in Philadelphia re­ cently, does not yet seem to have c ime into the realization of any con­ siderable part of the American peo­ ple. There has been much comment over the fact that the word "Dsmo- :rat” was mentioned so few times in the oratory at the big" convention, *hile the term " 'Jew Deal” seemed to be on nearly every tongue. Much publicity was Kiven also to the fail­ ure of the old-line Democrats, so cailed, to participate in the conven- t on. The statement which was sent to the convention by former Gover­ nor Al Smith and his four associate, was not the only evidence of this failure. Senators Glass and Byrd of Virginia, did not take a place on the resolutions committee. Not one of three living former Democratic can­ didates for the presidency attended the convention, and such former leaders as Lew'Douglas and Newton Baker were conspicuous by their ab sence. All of these things, as-related, are symptoms rather than a condition it­ self. The signficant fact, as hinted above, is that it was not really a De­ mocratic convention in Philadelphia as we have known Democracy in the past. The over-tuping of the twe- thirds rule is one other evidenee of the “New Deal.” ’ States' rights and other Jeffersonian principles were thrown overboard. - Local self-gov* ernment has been a cardinal tehent in the Democratic confession of faith Tbosei who believed in more centra iis9S--power-*at : Washington 'were sconfully referred to. by. the states’ right men as Hamiltonians. The center of this states’ rights senti­ ment was in the South, and the evolu tion of the Jeffersonian party into a New Deal party must come as a real shock to some of the Democratic leaders there. Friends of the New Deal pass off the effect of this change with the rather flippant statement that the Southern States will support the New Dealers anyhow, because they always vote the ticket bearing the Detnocratic label. This may be truei but there is no blinking the fact that some of the staunch Jef­ fersonian newspapers in Uixie are now more bitterly critical of the New Deal. than some of the opposition papers in the North. Mark Sullivan, one of the most dis­ cerning political commentators in the country recently pointed out this metamorphosis of Democracy into the New Dealism when he declared that the New Deal is not the Demo­ cratic Party nor a mere successor to the Democratic Party but “a new order of government and society.” Whether we are Republicans. Demo­ crats. Jeffersonians. Hamilton, New Dealers or Horse-and Buggyites, we will have to come to the realization that what Sullivan says is true. Justw hat the Naw Deal is, re­ mains to be seen It is still in the process of development. It is of Old -World origin. It is not com­ munistic,.because it does not recom­ mend the abolitiou of capitalism; it, is not Nazi because it does not coun­ tenance racial or religious oppresion; it is not LatinJ^ascist, because it does not advocate national imperialism* And yet, like all three, it is autocra­ tic and paternalistic rather than de­ mocratic, because it seeks'to increase the power of tbe-federal government at the expense of the states and com­ munities It advocates regiment in the place of individualism. It de­ nounces “ regimentation by big busi­ ness” but seeks to fasten on the peo­ ple regimentation by federalism. . We don’t know wbat the New Dea ultimately Btard for. and perhaps the New Deals themselves do not clear­ ly, perceive the.aM wer. But one Iiubg is certain: "In;the present cam­ paign, at least, the place of. old-fash­ ioned political Dembcracy as one of the two major parties has been ab­ sorbed by a New Deal. In the shadow of every prosperous business you’ll find a serious hard; working man. ^ Says G. 0. P. Gaining Strength Steadily. (By Charles P. Stewart) Ever since about the middle of the Cleveland convention the Republican party has been gaining steadily in strength. Correspondingly the Democrats have been losing. It still is too soon to say that the Republicans have gained enough to have a bright prospect of winning n xt November or that the Demo- cracts have lost enough to be in ser­ ious danger of defeat at the polls.? However, Republican gains ihd Dimocratic losses can't go on much longer at their present respective rates-without beginning to give at least a 50-50 look to the coming etec- • tion. Republican scrategy and publicity are recognized by Republicans them­ selves as having been perfectly ter­ rible under Henry P. Fletcher’s chairmanship of the G. 0. P. nation­ al committee. If John Hamilton. Fletcher’s suc­ cessor. can keep up the lick with which he has started he promises to be a wonder as campaign manager for Governor Landon. On the opposite hand. Democratic publicity, .as directed by Chairman James A. Farley, who has been sup­ posed to be super-astute, appears . to have gone completely haywire with­ in the last two or three wepks Farley’s reference to Landon- as a nonentity from a “typical parie state” was the Democrats’ first cod - spicious bad break. The speech in which the post- tnaster general indulged in this slur at the west was written by Charlies •Mic'h.el8op.;c % f%o t tt!e Democratic publicity staff! > Now. Charley Micb- elson is a good "sm°arer” but Gov­ ernor Landon obviously isn't easily smearable. Also Charley, while a capable newspaperman i s unac­ quainted with the west. Well, he wrote the “ typical prairie state” Bpeech. Farley, as a dyed-in-the-wool, ■ a Manhattan Islander as Michelson, but a little more conscious of his provincialism than Charley, submit­ ted the thing to Presidential-Private Secretary Stephen Early, who knows his stuff. Early promptly edited tihe contemptuous western references out of the speech. Mutilated as it was by EarJv, Farley didn’t know exactly how to deliver it andjx-aub- mitted it to Michelson. Charley thereupon flew into a rajre and edited the excised lines back Sn. Farley spoke as per Michelson. I' Thereupon Steve Early called the postmaster general oh the long dis­ tance phone and reproached him bit­ terly. They say he spoke him ;as 'bald-hesdfd” and that he used other uncomplimentary terms which wouldn’t look well in print.. Farley, returning to Washington, tried to make his peace with Early, but couldn’t do it. | There is a rift in the Democratic lute a foot wide. A Mayor Trips Himself.

Landon accepted the Republican presidential nomination tonight with a pledge to restoge "an ,efficient as well as constitutional’' government which would “unshackle initiative and the spirit of American enter* prise.” Beforeathrongwhich packed all available space south of the Kansas statehouse, he delivered in clipped sentences the first Statement of po­ licies on which the New Deal will be challenged at the polls by his party. Cash farm benefits, relief for the needy; “frugality” in conducting the public business, freedom from “ex cessivs expenditures, and crippling' taxation” a constitution which is not above change, but must be changed by the people were cornerstones of the program he laid before the elec­ torate. Timeand again, applause broke in. But once started, after twice saying “ Mr. Chairman,” Landon pressed through to conclusion of the 4,000 wordaddress. Seriously and solemn­ ly, he-read without gesture, but now and again with a nod of bis bead for emphasis. Landon, dressed in a light summer suit, wearing a vest, blue tie and soft-collared shirt, began speaking at 8:24 p. m. For nearly ten minutes the crowd cheered and. shouted, the bands played, Kansas sunflowers were wav­ ed. Officials said it was difficult to estimate the number of people who heard Landon’s opening- words “I accept the nomination ofthe Republi­ can party.” Brig. Gen. Milton R. McLean, Kansas adjutant general, in charge of policing the ceremony, said reports of the National Guard indicated that 129,000 persons crowd ed Kansas streets during the huge two-hour parade preceding the cere­ monies.

C- UNCONFESSED ; ] i I Ij I : |U ii; i; i‘is CHAPTER XIV—Continued —12— “Bat she saw my wife .on the bed. Yon’ve got her testimony to that!’ Harriden’s voice- had loudened; bel- Ilgerance rang out of It I glanced over at the bed. Mrs. Harriden lay very small beneath that sheet “People see what they expect to see,” I said slowly. “Anson saw a dummy made of a comforter arranged on that bed. The room was dark­ ened; yon let her have a glance through the half open door. theD you closed It and went down to dinner.” Xo one spoke then. No one moved. “But yon kept worrying about that body In the closet. Perhaps you hadn't taken the diamonds then — perhaps you had, but yon realized yon hadn't made It look enough like a robbery, like an assault from outside. You began seeing the situation. You thought of opening the window. So you went upstairs, halfway through dinner, and when yon were opening the window, you realized you could make It look like snlclde. So you took your wife out of the closet and thrust her out, down Into the shrub­ bery. Perhaps yon had seen the blood on the floor—” I stopped. I had a queer feeling that I was wrong. I said, “I think yon hadn't seen it—but you thought It wise to lock that closet till you could look It over, later. You locked it and came down again to dinner." I remembered how he had come down to dinner. I think we were all remembering It. Coming down stol­ idly, quietly, saying his wife was still sleeping. Going on with his meal. Talking to I.etty Van Alstyn. “You were thinking you could make it seem either accident or suicide and after dinner you asked the princess to go up—you talked- of a row be­ tween you, of her overwrought state of mind, of her hysterical threats. You created the impression of a neu­ rotic, Irresponsible woman, ready for any rashness. . . . You didn’t want that closet opened. When Mrs. Kel­ ler had the housekeeper unlock it, you were quick to enter. You said there was nothing there. Then they found the blood. You realized you had to make It look like robbery.” My voice grew slower, raggeder. “I don't know when you picked up the diamonds—perhaps at the beginning when you meant to make it seem the work of an outside thief. After you decided upon suicide you didn’t speak of thqlr disappearance. But when you saw it had to seem robbery, then you thought of them again.” It seemed to me that I had been talking forever In that world of shad­ ows. Not a word now out of Har­ rlden. Not a sign from him except that Immobile attention. “I don’t know now why you pinned that chain In my dress that night,” I said, and my voice shook over that “You were furious at me because I had told of the scene at the window . . . but you were hating Alan Deck even more— “Perhaps you saved out the big pendant intentionally from the first for him,” I said. “A man might have hidden a single stone. . . . Your chance came when you found his case lying about You stuffed the diamond under the cigarettes, but you couldn't get It back to him at once. You couldn’t leave It out for htm to find till alj the outsiders were gone. Then you saw that he found it.” I stopped suddenly, utterly spent. I was trembling from head to foot; my blood felt like ice In my veins. “Are we crazy — to listen to this pack of lies?” Harriden demanded. His brusk tone seemed to sweep away my words like a house of cards. “Dona- hey—I want this girl arrested.” ■ I felt a terrible despair. No one would believe. I had no shred of proof. Nothing but that andiron—and the blood on It could not speak. Nor could the dead under the sheet. Mitchell’s voice came suddenly. “Not so fast, Harrlden. . . . Dona- hey you’ve heard this story. I can supply n few details. That handker­ chief was dried on the radiator In Mr. Harriden’s own bathroom.” Harriden’s voice rumbled out, “That’s another lie! You were listening to that fool Anson.” The name fell like a bolt upon me. I had literally forgotten Anson In my absorption In this first tragedy. Now his words, and their implication, was a shock galvanizing me to life again. “No lie,” Mitchell gave back and his voice was clear-cut, authoritative —his courtroom voice. “The rust spots on that handkerchief correspond ex­ actly to the places where the paint has been flecked off on that particu­ lar radiator—and on no other in the house. That evidence is conclusive." Mitchell stepped forward, confront­ ing Harrlden. “The first death was accidental, Dan. Plty you tried to camouflage it —to Incriminate others. . . . Anson was murder.” “Anson?” he growled. “I never saw Anson.” “Oh, yes you did,” I flung out “When she brought the fresh towels to your bathroom. . . . You were In your room or In this one all that part of the morning. That hour when An. son had been killed.” I remembered his testimony. That he had heard no noise in Rancinl's room. “And If I had, I wouldn’t have cared.” And I held fast to iny little thread of a clue — my clue that I thought had gone astray, that had puzzled me so. , I rushed on, “When I saw her in the hall that morning she had her Mary .Hastings Bradley Copyright by D. Appleton- Centory Co, Inc.WNU Servico armr full of towels. Lavender for the prince’s room, pink for these two. She carried them all into BnncInTs room, and when she came out she bad forgotten the pink ones—she told me she had to go back for them. I saw her go In. . . . Afterwards I went to look for those towels. I thought—” Apologetically my glance sought the prince. He was standing there with a stupefied air. . I murmured, “I thought that—that if Anson bad been killed there, at that time, then the pink towels would still be there. But they were not, and the maid who had taken over the room, on Anson’s disappearance, said she had fonnd none. So I knew that An3on had taken her towels and gone.” I raised my eyes again to Har- riden. "I knew the pink towels were for these rooms. So I asked the maid to look In here—you were downstairs then—and she did. She said the fresh towels were distributed In both bath­ rooms but that Anson hadn’t taken away the soiled ones. I thought that Anson might have been so nervou3 In these rooms that she had hurried away forgetfully, and gone, for some rea­ son, again Into the prince's room, where she met her death. . . . But that wasn’t so. “Anson never left the room alive. She began to talk to you about some­ thing she had to tell at the Inquest. There was something on her mind, a hankderchief she had seen drying on a radiator. The corner was not torn off—you didn’t tear that off till you came to pin the diamonds In IL She knew she had to tell about it, but she didn’t want to. She told me that any one might have washed out a hand­ kerchief. She tried to explain it to you.” Harriden’s eyes were like sheet lightning upon me. ‘She told you about it. She may have said, too, that she couldn’t swear that Mrs. Harrlden was on her bed when she had looked In at eight. She was a very simple-minded girl, anx­ ious to be truthful. You lost your head—you may have tried to bribe her as you did me upstairs—you gave your alarm away. And then you jumped for her. You choked the life out of her. You looked up and down the hall. It was empty. You had only a step or two to - take to Rancinl’s door. You saw his room was empty. It was a desperate chance but yon had to take It. Yon got her In the room, yon thrust her in the closet. You wiped your prints off the. door. You went back to your room, and no one' saw you coming out that—you— knew—” My voice trailed out the words au­ tomatically. It was the look In Kel­ ler’s eyes that prompted them, that uneasy, worrying, disquietude. Tom Keller knew something. Perhaps he had seen Harrlden leaving the room. Perhaps , he had seen him In the hall. I knew it with the strange wrought- up divination that possessed me; I knew it so surely that I would have cried it aloud but Mitchell intervened. “You remembered to wipe the door knob, Dan, but yon forgot Deck’s taste In cigarettes. Luckies. When you found his case there weren’t but two cigarettes In It, not enough to hold a stone In place, so you crammed It full of your own, making sure to keep the diamond at the bottom. That’s where you slipped — nobody here smokes Macedonias but you. The case was full of Macedonias.” “And you call that evidence?” Har­ rlden sneered. The man was gath­ ering his power again, full of defiant challenge. "You’ve turned against your friends, have you, for the sake of—” “For the sake of a girl you tried to blacken and a man you tried to hang your own guilt on,” Mitchell flashed back, his eyes as full of war as Har­ riden’s. “Evidence — you bet TH make it stick as evidence. You waited till they were all around Deck, you prompted Letty to ask Clancy for his case, and Deck handed it over. Do you think a jury will believe a man would do that if he had a diamond hidden in it—a stone that would cost his neck? . . . He’d have taken out some cigarettes and passed them back. But Deck just handed it over. Just like that And Clancy gave it to Let- ty, and you whispered her to feel It, to tell Clancy to feel it.” • He swung away from Harrlden. He spoke sharply to a white face. “Why didn’t you ask Dan for a smoke? You like his brand — you were smoking them tonight You’ll have to testify he prompted you.” “Oh, Dan, Dan, it isn’t so!” Letty Van Alstyn's voice, overwrought, breaking with hysterical strain, sobbed out at him. “You didn’t ask me to say anything.” “You shut up!” said Harrlden harsh­ ly. “Shut up and keep shut up, d’you hear? Let them talk their heads off. That’s all there is to it—talk." “No one will believe it, Dan,” she cried half crying. “No one will blame you for anything. We’ll all forget it —you’ll forget It. Nora wasn’t worth it” “Wasn’t worth it?” He gave a dreadful glare at her, then strode to the bed and with a single gesture he tore the gheet away. Nora Harri­ den’s still face lay before us. We saw the loveliness of her profile, like chis­ eled marble, the rigid, tinted lips, the long, dark lashes, motionless on her cold cheeks. Then, for one unforgettable second, it seemed as if the dead had moved, and chill terror gripped us, but it was the soft, dark hair stirring in the air from th> withdrawn sheet. “Not worth It?” the man thundered. “She was worth the whole damned lot of you! I’d rather have her little fin­ ger than any woman's body. If I can’t have her—” His voice cracked, recovered. "I’ll never get over her. And I'll take this out of the hide of every one of yos. Out of you, you interloper,” he shot at me, "looking in at windows, and out of you,” and he thrust his mot­ tled face towards Deck, "running aft­ er another man’s wife, writing your damned rot to her beauty—” He burst out “She didn’t want yon. She was playing with you—trying to plague me. . . . You couldn’t have held her for a week. . . . She was my girl, mine! And you leave me with her. Clear out, all of you. Leave me alone with her while I’ve got her. . . . Clear out Clear out.” CHA PTER XV We went. Incomprehensible as It may seem, that terrible, that extraor­ dinary scene ended with our stream­ ing out of the room, like dismissed children. We left Harriden alone with his dead. The world seemed to go to pieces about me after that I was as weak as a rag. The tears on my face were tears of tiredness. Unseeingly I blun­ d e r^ through the group at the head of the stairs; I heard a voice. “Miss Seton—” It was Donahey. He said slowly, “About that and­ iron—how do you know—” “The cat licked it. You can have it tested, but I'm sure. Yon heard him say, ‘If you know—that—you did it.’ ’’ “The cat—the cat put you on to it?” He stared at me again. ‘Til have to get that andiron,” he added glumily, at once.” I got away from them then. I went downstairs where a knot of police­ men In a huddle told me that the ex­ citement above had been having its repercussions here. I let them stare; “What Do They Want Me For Now?” I walked through the glass doors un­ der the branching stairs, into the lounge behind the ball and there I curled up In a corner of a huge di­ van and soaked a pillow very thor­ oughly with my tears. I didn’t hear any one coming till a voice said, “Here she is,” and I looked up to see Monty Mitchell and Alan Deck standing beside me. I sat up and brushed the hair out of my eyes. I said helplessly, “I haven’t any pow­ der,” and Mitchell said cheerfully, “Neither have I,” but Deck told me to look In the drawer of a writing table, and I went over to it, There was per­ fect field equipment In that drawer. T needed it; I looked to myself as if I had been left out In the rain a long time. “Keep your powder dry,” Deck ad­ vised gaily. “We never know when the shooting may begin again.” He seemed In high spirits; “What do they want me for now—” I was beginning and he said blithely, “They don’t want you—we want you.” “What you want is coffee,” Monty Mitchell cut-in, “and we’ll have some if any of the Impeccable staff of this establishment are about.” Briskly he went to the wall and rang a bell dan­ gling in a tassel at the end of an old embroidered' strip. “Grant,” he remarked, as that func­ tionary appeared, his white-vested per­ fection rebuking our everyday attire, “Grant, is there any coffee to be had?” "There will be, sir. In just ten min­ utes.” “Good. And sandwiches, Grant. Not anything delicate, you understand. Something with plenty of bacon In them or ham and slabs of firm, yel­ low cheese. Plenty of sandwiches, Grant.” “Yes, Mr. MitchelL” “And something handsome In drinks —and not In ten minutes, either. I'll show yon my idea,” be added, and dis­ appeared with Grant through tiie serv­ ice. door. Deck and I went back to the divan. I was glad to sit down again for the strength had gone out of me...I didn’t reach-CTea to hls exhilaration. “My God, how did you do It?” he demanded. “That was the most smash­ ing accusation—” - - I interrupted. "Did you get your let­ ters?” . “Every one. And burned them. The last one wasn’t there — she hadn't kept i t ” ‘Tm glad." I was glad, too. for Harridenis sake. Hard enough to know that his wife was in love with another but harder to know that she had been thrown aside, repudiated. I said,. “I did go in after the cat But when I saw the case there, I op­ ened it to look for those letters for yon. He caught me at It” His arm which had been lying along the top dropped about my shoulders with a quick caress- “You darling!” I didn’t feel like a darling. I didn’t know that I even wanted to be his darling. His arm dropped so readily about shoulders—it had about Letty Van Alstyn when be wanted her to coax Dan down from his room. But hi3 voice had taken on a new gravity. 'Tve never met any one like yon, Leila Seton. Fd be a better man if I had. You’re all loyalty, all cour­ age. I told you you looked like a fair saint when I met you in that gallery, and I’m taking you as my saint. My bright saint” Mitchell came out, carrying three tumblers of amber liquid on a tray. I saw his quick eyes taking us In, but If his expression changed, his voice was cheerfully unheeding. “Here you are. Hot toddies. Sugar? Lemon?” “I’m telling her what a wonderfuj girl she Is,” said Deck gaily. Mitchell put the tray carefully on a little table before the sofa and sat down on the other side of me. “She’s a thorough fool of a girl, to trail into that room after a cat—to open that case for your letters—for I suppose that she was looking for your letters? Knowing all the time how grave the evidence was against her. . . . A thor­ ough - going' fool,” he insisted firmly, “but—an endearing one. I grant you that.” I smiled over the top of my glass at him. “Mercy, not justice, Your Honor!” “I hope you never have to say ‘Your Honor,’” he replied, soberly. Deck leaned forward, across me, “How do you think it stands, Monty? You’ve just been talking with those fellows. Is there enough of a case?” “To hold him — yes. To make it stiok—no. Not unless something more turns up. Unless he makes more of an admission than he has done. . . . Leila, here, just did a brilliant bit of guesswork. It was overwhelming when she poured it all out—and it fits. But how much of it can be proved—” He broke off, taking a drink. “About that scene at the window,” he re­ sumed. “Dan probably thinks Leila is prepared to swear to him now'—-but are you?” he asked of me suddenly. I shook my head, perplexed. “I can swear to myself that I know it is so —but I couldn’t swear to a court that I recognized him.” “But don’t say that yet to Dona­ hey,” Monty counseled, “Our hope now is for some admission.” . . . He went on to tell .us that he had been work­ ing on estimates about that gruesome pool of blood, about the time it must have taken to form. He said, “That was why I was a Uttle unexcited about Rancinl or Letty — I couldn’t persuade myself that either of them had had time, enough for that Now you, Alan, when you were upstairs, had just a little more time—” “Thanks for nothing,” said Deck warily. Grant came, bearing a silver tray with coffee pot and cups. Behind Mm was Graff with another tray of sand­ wiches. “Splendid!” said Mitchell approv­ ingly. ‘Til pour the coffee. Leila, en­ gulf this cheese sandwich. You look another girl already." “The bacon sandwiches will be ready In a moment, Mr. Mitchell” That food was marvelous. The ba­ con sandwiches, when they came, were crisp and appetizing. We all ate as if we were famished, and under the stim­ ulus of food and drink the talk went eagerly back and forth. Mitchell went on to tell what else he had been working on—the time It took rust stains to form. The ra­ diator had not been rusted; there had been tiny flecks in the paint on which the linen had touched unstained met­ al; and for rust to form, in those conditions, required more time than the Interval In which Deck had ab­ sented himself from the table. “I've been pointing that out to Don­ ahey all along,” he said. “You couldn't have left the handkerchief and re­ trieved it afterwards for you weren’t In Harriden’s room afterwards. Only on the threshold of Nora’s. Your ab­ sence gave time for radiator marks but not for rust. And Leila, found rust In her tests.” Deck raised hlq coffee cup. “t 0 Leila—my salvation." "Oh, you aren't saved yet.” said Mitchell drily. ' sal<1 We talked about everything as It came into our minds; I remember asking about the crescent and lm strange appearance In Anson’s dead hand and Mitchell’s saying «it just one of those things.

Cer­ tainly enough, it will have to be re­ garded as part of the public debt. Many expenditures which in 1933 were regarded as emergency” have nou> been included in the regular government ex­ penditures, as may be seen in one of the charts shown here. IFhite there has of late been a decline in emergency spend- mg. there has been a corresponding in­ crease m regular expenditure». Direct relief, work relief and emergency public, works expendi­ tures have decreased from 3 billion 59 million in 1935 to 2 billion 569 million in the 1936 fiscal year. Spending for the Civilian Conserva­ tion corps is due to decline from 469 million to 308 million in the new fiscal year. Farm relief costs, Comptroller General McCarI, Who Recently Resigned After 15 Years reduced to 33 billion 779 million,, largely through the redemption of soldiers’ bonus bonds. Cites Recoverable Assets. Against this debt, Secretary Mor- genliiau pointed out, must be held about 8% billions, which the gov­ ernment holds in what he calls re­ coverable assets. Most of them, to be sure, are recoverable, but a cer­ tain portion of them, including about 4 billions in loans to farmers, railroads, banks, insurance compa­ nies, states and cities, are open to ' OKtwn; it hardly seems possible tot any organization could m ake loans so varied in nature and Com- irni Io make so large a total, could expect to collect them all. Olher recoverable assets listed I IiJ the secretary are 2 billion 700 I mUfion cash and “money in the I talk," and 2 billion in the “stabil­ ization” fund. This latter fund, how- j ever, it would probably be unwise Io touch, because it was estab­ lished for specific purposes, prin- I cipaliy for stabilizing the dollar in i exchange markets. .

During the depression the major part of the tax burden has shifted from income to the excise taxes and the stamp taxes on cigarettes, liquor, gasoline, security issues and transactions, electric energy, auto­ mobiles, matches and many other items of indirect taxation. When incomes were high, they used to provide about 70 per cent of the government tax-revenue, but today the “hidden” taxes, which are paid by all, regardless of income, pro­ vide more than 60 per cent of the government revenue.

In regular operating and admin­ istrative costs .have the greatest rises been apparent. The present administration, it is estimated, has added some 250,000 federal full­ tim e employees in addition to the relief rolls. Operating and admin­ istrative costs were 550 million for the 1935 fiscal year, increased to 735 million in the 1936 year, and for the new one are expected to reach I billion 48 million. Incorporated somewhere in the ex­ planation of this is the faict that the operations of many of the federal departm ents, especially those deal­ ing with public works, were severe­ ly cut during the economy wave which followed the change of ad- nevN^ministration in 1933, but they are I p d * * I I I 1-----1-----L 8 9 BILLIONS OF DOX jLARS Emergency Expenditures ReguIctr Expenditures ree ^ears of Federal Spending (Does Not Inclnde the Veterans’ Bonus) loMhe ^vi!1 fae the appearance lhtIiewsn?

For instance, when President Roosevelt first came into office he effected imme­ diate and drastic economies in nver and harbor and public building work. Jhey were subsequently revived in the emer- gency programs. Now Mt. Roosevelt has indicated his desire to return them to the permanent budget, with an mnual appropriation of about 500 million dol- ^ars' Taxes Keep Going Dp. Generally, the switch of public works program s back to the regu­ lar budget, combined with other transitions, is regarded as the be­ ginning of • the attem pt to make most of the New Deal a perma­ nent phase of the government. The President has asked for the insti­ tution of the CCC and the farm control program as permanent several - years established records. In the 1936 fiscal year for the first tim e they passed the 2 billion m ark. In the new year they will prob­ ably reach 2 billion 250 million. Even with revenues rising the way they are, they will not, at the present rate, be able to bring about a balanced budget before about six years- In order to pay for expenditures which could not come out of the regular income, and to han­dle the 2 billion soldiers’ bonus, the treasury had to let the national debt skyrocket to 27 billion at the end of the 1934 fiscal year, 28 billion 700 million at Secretary of the Treasury Mor- genthau the close of the next and now to 33 bil­ lion 7SO million. Until results of pending bond transactions are known, it cannot be estimated what the debt will be at the dose of the new fiscal year. One of the interesting develop­ ments in the financial operations of the government recently has been the retirem ent of John Ray­ mond McCari, comptroller general of the United States and popularly known as the “watchdog of the treasury.” He warned against wild and unjustified expenditures, and many tim es during his 15 years of service was a valuable check on too enthusiastia spending of public funds. 10 Wsatarn Newspaper Untoa, IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL U N D A y I , C H o o l L e s s o n By REV.

Lesson for August 2 PHILIP’S MISSIONARY LABORS LESSON TEXT—Acts 8-5-40.GOLDEN TEXT—Therefore they that were scattered abroad went everywhere preaching the word.—Acts 8:4.PRIMARY TOPIC—PhUip Tells the Glad News. JUNIOR TOPIC—Philip Tells the OUd News. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Pioneering for Jesus.YODNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— The Gospel Crosses the Frontier. Evangelism is the work of every follower of Christ, and primarily the work of the layman. This duty cannot be delegated to the church as an organized body or to its offi­ cial servants. Philip was a layman, a deacon in the church by office, but an evan­ gelist by the gift and calling of the Holy Spirit. His experience in-lead­ ing the Ethiopian eunuch to Christ demonstrates that one who is yield­ ed to the Spirit— I. Will Find Opportunity for Soul Winning (v. 26). Most unexpected places will afford opportunities. Philip was in the midst of a great revival in Sam aria when the angel of the Lord sent him to Gaza—a desert place. Who would he meet here? Remember that the great world-evangelist, Dwight L. Moody, was converted in a humble shoe store by the earnest approach of a Sunday school teacher. H. Will Respond Immediately to the Spirit’s Leading (w . 29,30). The Spirit said “go.” Philip “ran.” The fundamental of fundamentals in God’s children is obedience. The opportunity, the inquiring soul, the equipped personal worker, all were prepared by God for just that mo­ ment. AU would have been lost had Philip failed to obey. III. Will Find That Men and Wom­ en Are Ready to Receive the Truth (w . 28, 31-34). God prepares souls, and more are willing to be saved than we think. Whether it was through his experi­ ence at Jerusalem , his spiritual hunger before he went up, or the reading of the Word, or all these together, the eunuch was ready. Neighbors, schoolmates, trades­ people, fellow workers—they may present God’s opportunity for us. IV. Will Find That God Honors Men by Using Them to Win Others. He could “save a m an all alone on the top of the Alps,” but he doesn’t ordinarily do it. Remember it was “the sword of the Lord and of Gideon” that wrought a victory. The eunuch needed an interpreter of the truth. Philip was God’s man. V. Will Know God’s Word (v. 35), We cannot interpret what we do not know. One who is not personally ac­ quainted with the Living Word by regeneration, and the Written Word by diligent study, is not able to help others. Could you begin (as Philip did) at Isaiah 53:7, and lead a man to Christ? If .not, should you not be­ gin to study your Bible with such an end in view? VI. Will “Carry .Through” to a Decision (w . 36, 37). A salesman may be brilliant, cul­ tured, and persuasive, but what counts is the signature on the dot­ ted line at the bottom of. an order. Philip pressed for and obtained a decision. VIL Will Follow-up His Convert (w . 36, 37). v Much so-called evangelism fails to go beyond a m ere profession—a declaration of faith. The eunuch and Philip both knew that an inward faith declares itself in an outward act—and he was baptized. VIII. Will Recognize That the Mes­ sage Is Important, Not the Messen­ ger (v. 39). When the work was done the evangelist was carried away by the Spirit. God’s work goes on. His workman we set aside. As an advertising company has well- expressed it, “The purpose of ad­ vertising is to impress the product upon the reader’s mind, not the medium." It is a fine testimony to the effec­ tiveness of Philip’s ministry that al­ though he was gone his convert went “on his way rejoicing.” His faith did not rest on the "evangelist nor any human fellowship—he knew God. Let us be sure to win souls to God and not simply to a personal allegiance to us or to a religious organization. Why not be a Philip? Any m an or woman who knows the Lord Jesus Christ as personal Savior can be a winner of souls. It has well been said that all that Philip had was “a love for souls, a knowledge of the Word and a sensitiveness to the leading of the Lord. That is all we need. If every Christian were a Philip the world would be won for Christ in ten years.” Count Tour Blessings He is a wise m an who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has,—Epictetus.

Vogue of Black or Dark Silk Sheers By C H E R IE N ICH O LA S A S to foremost fashions lor sum- mer, costumes of black or dark sheers such as silk chiffons, marquisettes, organza and hand­ some nets are carrying first hon­ ors. Your wardrobe may be as> you supposed replete with chic, but if it be sans one of the beguilingly styled dark sheers better send an immediate S. O. S. call in to your dressmaker or to your sm artest store in town or to whoever caters to your sartorial needs. Telling you, we are, that without a suit or a dress of some one or other of these silk sheers or nets in black or in brown, navy or dubonnet red or deep purple dye your summer dress program will be sadly lack­ ing indeed. We might ad • that black is the favorite of them all. . Especially are fascinating things being done with redingote fashions made of silk sheers that are thin to the point of transparency since they are designed to be worn over either a dress or slip in a solid bright color or of gay print. See the charming and chic ensemble to the right in ' the picture. It con­ veys the idea most eloquently. Here a black silk chiffon redingote with the new circular-cut hemline is posed over a pink silk moire slip. Very French in feeling is this most .winsome 1936 afternoon dress. Note the black silk taffeta applique of roses on the redingote. The corsage . of huge twin roses accurately repeats the pink tone , of the silk slip. Narrow velvet rib­ bon ties, about the waist and trims the very lovely. pink panama hat worn with this costume. While we are on the subject of black silk chiffoii and its im­ portance in the summer style pic­ ture it might be well to mention the new skirts of black chiffon which are the sm artest ever for evening, worn with a tunic or jacket-blouse done in flamboyantly colorful flowered print. These skirts are cut full circular and their hemline measures yards. Vet with all this fullness you are not made aware of the tact at. the skirt is styled to fit about the -hips in slenderizing sleekness gradually and gracefully leading into soft un­ dulations about the hemline. You will find a skirt of this description to be a real asset in your summer clothes collection. Have Li reserve a shirtwaist blouse of black net, al­ so a decollette bodice of self black chiffon—an economical way to ac­ quire a wardrobe of sm art formals for varied occasion. If you have an urge for color you will find joy in a costume that poses a redingote of dubonnet red silk chiffon or organza over a slip of gorgeous flower print. The col­ or effect is beyond the telling in word or piqture. It requires the evening lights to glorify it. Could anything in the way of a daytime costume be sm arter and mor«. to be coveted than the jacket- and-dress twosome to the left in the illustration! If so we have not discovered it. You may be in­ terested in knowing that this- en­ semble is of royal lineage in that it is a creation by no less a noted designer than the personal dress­ maker to Queen Mary. It came over on the R. M. S. Queen Mary as did a whole fashion load of stunning modes. The dress is per­ fect for afternoon wear on warm summer days, made as it is of cool Tudor-brown twytex net. The finely pleated and tucked jabot is of white silk net, and the loose coat is of brown crossbar twytex. The story of net os it unfoldr in the summer style program is prov­ ing a most fascinating one. Noth­ ing sm arter or more practical has centered the style stage than the jacket dresses tailored of cool and comfortable and chic looking nets either in black or the stunning new rich dark colors. © Western Newspaper Union. D IN N ER SU IT Br CHBRIB NICHOLAS The vogue for tailored clothes goes into the evening. Very styl­ ish indeed is the young woman in the picture who wears a strictly tailored dinner suit with its 1890 jacket and buttoned skirt. It is fashioned of creamy white Mt. Airy.cloth. QUILTED COATS FOR ’ BEACH W EAR LATEST A coat which looks as though it were made from the family’s heir­ loom quilt will go a long way to­ ward creating a sensation on the beaches. Dressier versions that have intricate quilting patterns are destined for wear over summer formals. Large floral motifs which have bright colors on white or pastel backgrounds are the most fash­ ionable for beach wear. Some of these coats are made of printed cottons which have the designs out­ lined with quilting, while others are pieced together in the regulation quilt manner. The quilted coat of plaid woolen, very light of weight and quite gay in its color combinations, is shown for vacation wear, while the taf-. feta and hand-blocked linen ver­ sions are evening favorites. Flowers Are Dramatic White flowers on a black gown are dram atic; and on a white gown they emphasize an effect of simplicity. A spot of brilliant scarlet on a white gown is gorgeous. Color harmony m ay be achieved by, wearing flowers that blend into the general tone of the costume, or with a contrasting comple­ mentary color.

BRISBANE THIS WEEK Descend Among Bicycles Many Strikes and Worries Two Flags That Clash Two National Hymns This column, like others to fol­ low, written in Europe, traveling about by auto­ mobile, will rep­ resent an effort to see things clearly, and de­ scribe them sim­ ply, according to the old formula. Y o u descend from the ship at H a v re into a world on wheels, bicycle wheels, a change from the world on automo­ bile wheels left on the other side of the Atlantic. Here working men and women, thousands of them, ride to and from work, ten to thirty abreast, depending on the width of the street. They have the right of way, prop­ erly, in a democracy. So it used to be in America, when automobiles were new, small boys shouted “Get a horse,” and New York state law compelled the automobile driver to stop his car and engine, while a farm wagon passed, if the farm er raised his hand, or even lead the farm team past his machine if the farm er re­ quested it. Here the car stops, while bicycles circulate around it on both sides. Similarly, you stop, later, meeting flocks of sheep, on roads across the salt marshes of the Vendee. Arthur Brisbane France is a land of bicycles, of many political parties, and, at the moment, a land of strikes. Like all other European countries, it is a land of permanent war scares. America looks upon war as a dis­ tant, improbable possibility, and when it comes spends billions on airships that do not fly, ships that never go to sea, and similar evi­ dences of patriotic dollar-a-year ef­ ficiency. Europe’s nations live in a state of fear, as an American family might live if it knew that, at any moment, well-equipped gangsters from next door might en­ ter, “shoot up” the household and set fire to the house. American travelers leaving the boat by railroad, descending in Paris at the Saint Lazare station, were surprised to find crowds fight­ ing each other, not waiting for Germany, crowds made up entirely of Frenchmen of different political opinions. Some wore ribbons with the red, white and blue colors of the French flag; others, more numerous, wore the plain color red. One side sang the “Marseillaise,” national hymn of France since the revolution. Others wearing small red flags sang the “Internationale,” official song of the Communists the world over, from Moscow to Harlem. Crowds grew bigger, the French­ men sang the two hymns at each other, more and more violently, with excellent voices, not one out of tune, all knowing the words of their respective hymns. The “Mar­ seillaise” says, “Let us go, chil­ dren of the fatherland, the day of glory,has arrived” ; the other says, “Arise ye prisoners of starvation; arise, ye wretched of Ihe earth.” News Review of Current •Events the World Crop Damage From Drouth Mounts—Assassin Tries to Kill Edward VUI—Townsend and Coughlin Form Alliance. By EDWARD W. PICKARD © Westero Newspaper Union. It was a scene never to be de­ scribed, now that Dooley is dead, and Artemus Ward. Nobody both­ ered the descending foreigners .from across the water. A few Frenchmen hit other Frenchmen, not hard, then agents of the Surete, whom we should call po­ licemen, gradually dispersed the crowds, that m et and sang at each other again the next day. They live in Oie suburbs and work in Paris, or vice versa, and, meeting in the railroad station, it enrages them to encounter those that sing the wrong hymn and wear the wrong colors. Those singers have chests like drums, complexions that reveal countless billions of red corpuscles and voices that could be heard, al­ most, from Los Angeles to Santa Monica. One of them broke off at the sad word “starvation” and said to your narrator, who had politely congrat­ ulated him on his vigor: “Tenez, tatez mon bras, et j’ai soixante sept ans”—meaning, “Here, feel my muscle, and I am sixty-seven years old.” The muscle rose in a biceps like a small melon. The duty of a visiting foreigner is to observe, describe and not comment; but this writer, had he accepted the invitation to speak at the American club in Paris recent­ ly, would have suggested that the French, whose only earthly pos­ session is France, should be care­ ful not to tear that properly apart, especially with Germany ready to gather up the pieces. This crosses the water by mail, is not new, and not news, when you see it. Only heaven knows whai might happen in a week.(£) Kin^ Features Syndicate, 1m. 'WNU Service. THE nation’s drouth worries con­ tinued unabated after scattered showers in widely separated areas of the Midwest and the Northwest failed to eliminate the heat. Regions bordering the Great Lakes enjoyed cool breezes brought by a high pressure m- <.» area from Hudson I Bay.JPS* . r r - But the meager PfcT,, , tJSZHtA rainfall in th edrouth-stricken belt did little toward bringing relief and Dr. TugweIl crop deterioration continued on a vast scale through­ out the parched states. Loss of life throughout the United States from the unprecedented heat wave exceeded 3,850, an all-time high.Agronomists in Minnesota, Ne­ braska, Iowa, Illinois and Ohio ex­ pressed apprehension over the out­ look for the corn crop unless gen­ eral rains should develop rapidly. In principal cities the price of milk was advanced one cent a quart as the result of drouth condi­ tions. Prices of meat, however, dropped with the influx to m arket of drouth cattle. The possibility of an upward trend later on was seen, however. Completing a tour of the drouth areas, Secretary of Agriculture Wallace declared the nation need have no fears of a food shortage, and assailed those “who have tried for their own purposes to scare the consumers about food scarci­ ty.” He added: “There is no ex­ cuse for substantial increases in food prices now.” Arriving at Bismarck, North Da­ kota, to help co-ordinate drouth re­ lief enterprises, Rexford G. Tug- - well, resettlement administrator, was informed that approximately 60,000 farm families in the state were among the needy. A confer­ ence of state and federal officials in Bismarck developed a three-fold plan for the relief of dwellers in the desolated areas of the Dakotas, western Minnesota, eastern Mon­ tana and Wyoming. These includ­ ed: Immediate advancement of mon­ ey to needy families, repayable out of WPA earnings; granting of funds to farm ers desiring to keep sm all livestock herds for the pur­ chase of feed and subsistence to be repaid by work on WPA proj­ ects; loans and grants to owners of large scale cattle enterprises to cover the cost of shipping animals to other states for feeding. THE attempted assassination of King Edward VIII of England in London brought great alarm to the English speaking world. The attem pt was made near Hyde Park and the monarch’s life was saved by a woman bystander who grappled with the would-be assas­ sin and wrested a pistol from him. The king was re­ turning to Bucking­ ham palace from Hyde Park, where ««„_*. on horseback he KulgEdward had presented new colors to six battalions of the Grenadier, Cold­ stream and Scots guards. There was unrest in other Euro­ pean capitals. In Madrid, Jose Cal- vo Sotello, one of Spain’s most pow­ erful monarchist leaders, was kid­ naped and murdered. Precautions were taken to guard other politi­ cal figures, lest the assassination open a new period of disorder be­ tween the leftists and rightists. The crisis was heightened by the threat of the Socialists to estab­ lish a dictator. In Paris, the celebration of France's national holiday, BastiHe day, saw the Champs Elysees a scene of rioting with rightists and leftists in combat with each other and the police. The disorders be­ gan when leftists were returning from their own parade in the east­ ern section of the city. Seeing red flags borne in the procession, the rightists greeted their opponents with cries of “Soviets everywhere.” Hopeful Oigns for Eturopean peace were seen in the withdrawal by Italy from Lybia of the first units of 40,000 troops from the Egyptian frontier. The withdrawal of the troops from the North African col­ ony was Italy’s answer to Britain’s action in recalling its home fleet from the Mediterranean. 12 unions grouped as the Commit­ tee for Industrial Unionization. The council’s action was looked upon as a peace move in the crisis that threatens open warfare in the labor movement. I t . was precipi­ tated by the drive to organize 500,- 000 workers in the steel industry into one big industrial union by John L. Lewis, president' of the United Mine Workers and his fol­ lowers. The charges against- the Lewis group include “competition as a rival organization with the A. F. of L.” ; fomenting an insurrection within the Federation; violation oi contracts they have entered into with the Federation when granted their charters. \ Dr. Townsend AN ALLIANCE between Dr. Francis E. Townsend, Father Charles E. Coughlin and the Rev. Gerald L. K. Smith in the interests of a third party was announced at the Townsendite conven­ tion in Cleveland, attended by 12,000 followers of the California doctor who advocates pen­ sions of $200 per month for every person over sixty. In an address be­ fore the convention, Father Coughlin b it terly denounced the present admin­ istration and President Roosevelt and caUed upon the delegates to foHow Dr. Townsend in endorsing the candidacy of William Lemke for the presidency on the Union ticket. Earlier the New Deal had been the target of both Dr. Townsend and the Rev. Gerald L. K. Smith, now leader of the late Huey Long’s share-the-wealth movement. Townsendite candidates who m ust rim on the Democratic ticket planned a pro-Roosevelt demon­ stration. Pro-Roosevelt delegations representing 11 states signed a res­ olution urging that no “m erger or fusion” with a third party be made. A tactical victory was won by the New Deal forces in the election! of Willis Mahoney, Townsendite-Dem- ocratic candidate for senator from Oregon, as chairm an of the resolu­ tions committee. President Roosevelt A FTER dedicating New York’s IN new '$64,000,000 Tri - borough bridge, attending the wedding of Mrs. Ruth Bryan Owen, m inister to Denmark, to Captain B oerge Rohde of the Dan­ ish court and spend­ ing two days at his Hyde Park home, President Roosevelt embarked on a nautical vacation in Mame and Canadi­ an waters. On the bridge dedication program with the President were Secretary of the Interior Ickes, Gov. Lehman of New York, Senator Wagner and Mayor FioreUo LaGuardia of New York City. The bridge is the larg­ est completed public works admin­ istration project in the East. It comprises four spans in its three and one-half miles, of elevated ways and connects M anhattan, the Bronx and Queens, Long Island. Its cost is second only to that of the Gold­ en Gate bridge at San Francisco. On the cruise of the Sewanna, a 50-foot schooner yacht, President Roosevelt will act as skipper and helmsman. Three of his four sons, Jam es, Franklin Jr., and Jolin are m em bers of the crew. The cruise wiU carry the President along the Maine coast to CampobeUo Island, New Brunswick, where his m other has a summers home and off No­ va Scotia where he expects to do some deep. sea fishing. A destroy­ er, the presidential yacht Potom ac and the schooner • Liberty carrying newspaper men are trailing the Se­ wanna. Before he returns to the White House, the President wiU pay a visit to Lord Tweedsmuir, gover­ nor-general of Canada. A NEW era in European diplo- * * m acy was heralded with the signing of a treaty between Ger­ m any and Austria re-establishing peace and norm al relations be­ tween the two nations. Since Italy has been acting in the role of big brother to Austria Ir the past two years it was re­ garded as a virtual certainty that Prem ier Mussolini had sanctioned the new pact. Observers pointed out that with Germany, Austria and Italy in accord and with Po­ land friendly to Hitler’s aim s, Eu­ rope now has a prospective alli­ ance m ore powerful than the triple alliance of Germany, Italy and Au­ stria-Hungary preceding the World IMMEDIATE splitting of the *■ American Federation of Labor into two rival groups was averted by the action of the Federation’s executive councU in voting to bring to trial on August 3 ,Uie union leaders led by John L.' Lewis on charges of “dual unionism.” It had been reported earlier that the council had voted to suspend the 'T 'H E arrest of form er Lieut. Commander John S. Farnsworth of the United States navy on a charge that he had sold confiden-1 tial naval data to a Japanese of­ ficer m arked what observers be- Ueved was the beginning of a roundup of persons suspected ‘ of supplying navy secrets to foreign powers. Declaring that he had obtained nothing of importance from the navy and gave nothing to the Jap­ anese that “could not have been obtained in the pubUc library in Washington,” Farnsworth at first pleaded not guilty to the charges. Farnsworth is charged with tak­ ing from the Navy department and later selling, it to the Japanese gov® ernment, a book entitled "The Service of Information and General Security..” The book is on naval tactics and according to officials, is rated as “confidential.” PREDICTING 1936 wUl be the best 1 business year since 1930 and “possibly since 1929,’” Colonel Leon­ ard P. Ayers, economist of Cleve­ land, declared that statistics on afi important business had shown sub­ stantial and “healthy increases” since the first of this year. Strikes, drouth and other difficulties have not affected increases in employ­ ment, m arkets and security ex­ changes, the economist said. “More steel has been produced in the first half of 1936 than in all 1932,” he' pointed out. “A m ajor factor in the increased steadiness of business has been weU sustained employment among the factory workers making durable goods. Workers in the durable goods fac­ tories suffer most from lay-offs and shut-downs, but such has not been the case in the first half of this year and of last year.” Frank O. Lowden L I ENRY FORD, approaching his *■•1 seventy - third birthday en­ visioned the eventual decline of farm animals as a source, of the world’s fooa and p re d ic te d that grains and other crops wiU -largely be substituted for them. “We can, I be- Ueve, get a more plentiful supply of food cheaper and better,” he said, “by processing the products of the soil H r-nrdinstead of asking Henry Ford cows and chickens to do it for. us. In the future, farm animals of aU kinds will decline in numbers. We won’t need them. T hefarm animal wUl go, but the farm Wfll become larger.” O O M PLETE endorsement of the presidential candidacy of Gov. Alf M. Landon of Kansas was giv­ en by form er Gov. Frank O. Low- den of Illinois fol­ lowing a conference in Topeka. FoUow- ing the conference form er Governor Lowden announced that he and Gover­ nor Landon were in “full accord” on the question o f farm rehef. The IlUnois farm leader, revealed that he had dis­ cussed soil erosion, reciprocal treaties, conservation of farm population, government aid in m arketing surplus crops, centraliz­ ing of federal power and reduction of federal expenditures with Gov. Landon. Mr. Lowden declared: “We are in accord on the impor­ tant agricultural issues. I shaU support him and campaign for his election.” Paym ent of cash federal boun­ ties to soil - conserving farm ers through a plan contemplating state administration was one of the farm principles advocated by Mr. Low- den which received the verbal sup­ port of Gov. Landon foUowing the conference. With the RepubUcan presidential nominee at work on his acceptance speech, conferences with other leaders were scheduled. Im portant among these was the visit of George N. Peek, former AAA ad­ m inistrator who resigned his post foUowing a break with Secretary of Agriculture WaUace and is now a New Deal critic. Also, on the program was the visit of Col. Frank Knox, Governor Landon’s running mate. At Governor Landon’s office a letter was m ade pubUc from Wil- Uam CabeU Bruce, form er Demo­ cratic senator from Maryland sav- inS ,tlLa* 1Je was "bitterly disap­ pointed in President Roosevdt and “deeply gratified” at Governor Landon’s nomination. In the meantime m embers of the Kansas legislature had departed for their homes after subiffitttag two constitutional amendments to fie state’s electorate. One S these would authorize state aid for the needy and the other would a £ prove state participation in the fedl eral social security plan.

W A S H iN G IC N , Dyfc/L " Washington.—One of the pieces of legislation enacted by the late seventy - fourth S h ip congress was the S u b sid y ship subsidy biU. R e sid e n ts of farm ing communities and smaUer cities and towns in the . interior probably paid no attention to it whatsoever. Nor was there any outstanding reason apparent why they should give thought to a rath­ er complex and yet far-reaching piece of legislation. But it is im­ portant even though the circum­ stances under which it wiU be ef­ fective m ay not so appear to the agricultural sections of the country. The new law provides an undis­ guised subsidy as the basis of en­ couragement for development of a new Am erican m erchant m arine. It is the first tim e that such a poli­ cy has been carried out by the American nation and it is, there­ fore, yet a m atter to be tried out before anyone can say definitely that the results wiU be satisfac­ tory. Those who sponsored the leg­ islation have long contended it was both sound and sensible and their argum ent prevailed in con­ gress. Advocates of the m easure say th at it wiU. provide at least a start for the construction of new and faster and m ore efficient Am erican owned ships. They con­ tend further that the poHcy upon which the nation has now em­ barked as regards shipping wiU cost less in the' end than other disguised and concealed subsidies that have been employed. It m ay be necessary to recaU that the United States long has paid what amounts to a subsidy to ocean going ships in the form of excessive rates for the transporta­ tion of ocean mail. There are 43 such m ail routes and the ships op­ erating on these routes, conse­ quently, benefited to the extent of the num ber of pounds of m ail “they carried because the paym ents they received were on a pound basis. This contribution from the fed­ eral government enabled m any of those shipping companies to sur­ vive. But - it is only natural that one should ask why a subsidy is ad­ visable or necessary at all. The answer is plain. American owned ships, ships flying the American flag, are required by law to m eet numerous conditions that are not required by any other nation of the ships registered with their admiral­ ties. • • * With these conditions, among m any others, it becomes easUy un- _ derstandable what _ S o m e ^ difficulties c o n- D H Kculties front American flag ships in com­ petition with world shipping. Above and beyond the factors just mentioned, it is a m atter of record as weU that ship construc­ tion in the United States costs more perhaps than any place else in the world. Here again American stand­ ards are influential. They bring about higher wages and shorter hours for Am erican labor in Amer­ ican shipyards. Thus, a new ship starting out begins its service with a handicap of greater cost upon which a return m ust be had if those who invest their money in ships are to receive a profit thereon. • Then, there is a further distinct and im portant reason. I refer to national defense. It has long been the, conviction of m ilitary and naval men that American freight and pas­ senger ships should be so designed, developed and constructed, that they m ight be converted to satis­ factory use as auxiliary craft in tim e of war. In this connection it wffl be recalled that tremendous sum s were expended by our gov­ ernm ent in building ships for use in the World war. There was such vast waste of money at that tim e that it seems incredible anyone should ever m ake the sam e mis- taJte aI aJn. But to avoid that mis­ take advance preparations are nec­ essary and that is a point strongly stressed by those who favored the ship subsidy legislation. * * * Now to Imk the importance of the ship subsidy bfll with agriculture: L in k W ith ^ erican Pfed*■ i j- ucts must have w e f a rm access to foreign sonS! “ USt be uudefk^ rea^ Suchraa=00 rTfetition conditions.

One might properly inquire eh the foreign boats should not h IKed to handle American commode | ties if the freight rate is lower. There are two very valid reasons I why this should not be obtained f One is that constant rate reduction by foreign shipping companies would sooner or later, probably sooner, destroy the American mer- [ chant marine. With this end achieved, the foreign shipping com­ panies would do as they have at- J tempted to do on a number ofocca-1 sions—jack up the rates to suit themselves. The other reason wty American goods should be shipped in American bottoms is that a mer­ cantile marine is as necessary an adjunct to our national economy and our national welfare as are Ih lines of land transportation. 161 may seem to me a broad statement I but I believe, nevertheless, it is a I truthful one because all fields of fr I dustry as weU as agriculture worn I suffer if we were left at the mercy I of foreign shipping companies. I Further, the commodities that me I import would pay whatever ratal the foreign shipping companies de-1 manded in order to reach « shores and we would pay the m-1 It seems, therefore, that vOe this legislation probably is far h® perfection, probably has ewe?

When the Catawba county board of elections prepared a statement covering the expenses of the June 6th primary in that county, totaling $219.50 the board of commissioners trimmed it down to $150 . In contrast to this exceedingly low primary cost, The Statesville Daily calls attention to the bill for $2,385 which the commissioners in Iredell county ordered paid. Ac­ cording to the figures presented by the Statesville paper, the chairman of the election board receives twire as much for his individual services as the entire cost of holding the primary in Catawba. ' Yet it would be hard to question the reasonableness' of the various items of expenses as enumerated in the Iredell bill. There is a fixed charge of $3 00 per day and mile­ age for the judges at each precinct, and the cost of clerical help iu pre paring the ballots soon runs into big money. It is claimed tor Iredell that- the electionmachiuery In that county runs smoothly and with a minimum of cause for complaint, which pro bably is the result of better man­ agement made possible, by paying for it. Yet it is mighty tempting to weight the election bill down with all the traffic will bear, so long as the money is coming out of the county treasury. I tis when this urge becomes too great that the do­ minant party begins to build up - griet for itself. : It is One of the' faults of the pri­ mary system that in counties where only one party employs this machi­ nery in the selection of its candi dates citizens who are members of the other party have to share in paying the bill While that doesn’t sfterrufair, it isiall the more reason, why evefy effort ^should be tnade to hold the expense to the mini; nurn. ."In Catawba, it is understool, serving as registrar, and judge is an honor without compensation, and of 'course that cuts the cost tre­ mendously.- Yet there is little V doabt that every county iu the state could save money on tliis election business, if it became some­ body’s business to cut the corners and trim the edges. — Elkin Tri­ bune. Doing Something For The Farmer. Duiing the coming campaign spokesman from both parties wi'.l do a lot of talking about farm relief. Both will claim that their party has found the Royal Road to farm pros parity, and that anyone disagreeing with it is an enemy of the people. This is to be expected, politics being the kind of game it is. But a great many unprejudiced persons, without any partisan axe to grind, are comiiig to the opinion that the best kind of farm relief originates notin Washington but on the farm. The old maxim that “self help is the best help” may .have-been^ob scured by some modern theories, but it has not been outlawed yet. It is as sound today as it ever was. The finest example [of that old- fashioued "self help” is found in the agricultural cooperatives, which act as the farmer’s representative in the process of producing and disposing of his products on the most profit­ able basis. These co-ops are per manent—they are non'political— they aren’t managed by bureaucrats —they aren’t trying to advance the fortunes of this party or that one. And they are doing mqre that is sound in a business way for agricul ture fhan all the ‘farm relief’ bills proposed since the war. CAMPBELL - WALKER FUNERAL HOME AMBULANCE .
