Transfer From Homes No matter what sentimental argu- ments may be advanced regarding it, the government's proposal to assist families from sub-marginal lands to locations on better farms is one of . the most significant things in the modern American scene. It means, it of all, that the cruelties of bit- farm competition may at last be partially eliminated and that official recognition has been given the right of every family to a decent living and of every child to an education. For the simple fact of the matter is that farming sub-marginal land breaks the hearts as well as the fi- nances of men and women. It is a constant threat to the public taxpay- Now Representative John J. Boylan is pretty excited about something that every Washingtonian has known for years—that amongst all this wel- ter of memorials, there isn’t a single one to Thomas Jefferson. Boylan wants the federal govern- ment to spend $100,000 for a pedestal on which some private association may later want to build a memorial to the sage of Monticello. Now you might think $100,000 is small change these days, the way the government is tossing billions about. And yet you might also paraphrase Poor Richard, and say that if you watch the hundred thousands,of dol- lars the billions will take care of themselves. There are lots of things we need more today than $100,000 ped- estals. The best memorial we could build for Jefferson today would be for a few millions of us to devote just one- tenth the thought, work, and zeal to demrocracy that Jefferson gave to it.

Bright Spots As summer comes on, bringing drouth and labor disturbances, so many eyes center on these spectacu- lar developments that little things slip by unnoticed. Yet here are three significant things noted more or less at random, that augur well for permanent prog- Tess. Business failures in May, ac- cording to the Dun and Bradstreet reports, fell to the lowest number since January, 1920, There were only 977, as compared with 1052 in the preceding month and 1909 in May of @ year ago. The total liabilities involved in the| northern states and that of the right failures was correspondingly less. ‘This seems to show increasing steadi- | into the unorganized territories would ness in the business world. “Not @ single bank clearly within the deposit insurance circle has failed since deposit insurance went into effect. Thus far, at least, deposit in- surance has not apparently brought ‘the tide of careless banking which some predicted. This seems to indi- cate a return to sanity in banking. And one of the big airlines, oper- ating between Chicago and New York, now has put in effect a “commuters’ schedule” with 16 planes a day each way between the great cities. That seems to indicate that the airmail rumpus hasn’t permanently crippled air transport. ‘A Merited Tribute A philosopher has said, “He whom ne age stones, another enthrones.” While it may be exaggeration to apply that maxim to the case in mind, it warms the hearts of that generation which stole with trepida- tion into the attic to revel in the dime novel exploits of Deadwood Dick to learn that recognition has come at last to the favorite author of their youth, A bronze-plated cobblestone monu- ment will be reared at Deadwood, 8. D., to the memory of Deadwood Dick Clark, Indian scout, frontiers- man, and hero of dime novels. ‘The Deadwood Dick thrillers were not literature, it is true. There may have been justice in the parental threat to apply the rod to the luck- Jess youngsters caught reading them. But memory of them comes back for a moment like a fresh, clean ‘breeze, as one turns in disgust from the mass of drivel and worse that by the usual reminders that the sol- diers of the south did not fight in defense of slavery, but rather in de- fense of the right of their states to secede. This is true, but it occurs to us that the question might easily arise in the mind of an unbiased of secession, and yet not approve the act of secession itself. One can imagine such a listener asking if they slavery. And unless one is familiar with more American history than is usually taught in the schools, one might find that question difficult. ‘What was the goal of secession? Abolition of slavery within the United States would have required an amendment to the constitution, which involved the assent of three-fourths of the states. Barely half the states voted for Lincoln, and much less than half of the voters. There was no im- mediate danger of abolition. On the other hand, such questions as that of the return of fugitive slaves from of slave owners to take their slaves be settled against the south by seces- sion. Secession would bring Canada to the Ohio and the Potomac, so to speak, and citizens of the southern states would lose all their rights in the unorganized territories of the United States. Secession, therefore, would not help slavery. On the con- trary, it would prescribe it. Why, then, lid the people of the southern states decide by such overwhelming majorities to secede from the Union? A clue to the answer may be found by examining the constitution of the Confederate States of America, In what particulars did it differ from the constitution of the United States? The southern states were free to write any kind of a constitution they wanted. What kind did they write? ‘The answer to that question ought to give a clue to the goal of secession. As a general statement it may be said that the goal of secession was independence from the north. But independence for what purpose? What kind of a constitution was pro- vided for the government over ‘which Jefferson Davis presided? Well, aside from immaterial changes, like the new preamble and the provision of a single six-year term for the president, the Confederate constitution contained only three pro- visions that were not in the consti- tution of the United States. It pro- hibited (1) the levying of tariff duties to promote any one form of industry —the protective tariff, (2) the pay- ment of bounties, and (3) federal ap- Propriations for internal improve- ments within the states. This is the iniquitous trinity from which the cotton and tobacco states ed Lincoln, meant that henceforth the opposition of the south to these things would be hopeless and futile. And the aftermath of the Civil war proved this appraisal to be correct.

When the downy bird corners you and begins to describe the plight he is in from rheumatism you can pat him on the back and assure him there is no such malady, so he has nothing to worry about any more. Or in a grave case if the Scotchman evinces a desire to draw the conversation around to autointoxication you need only reaffirm the scientific principle that autointoxication happens only in the morbid imagination of the dupes of quacks and nostrum mongers. I say all this is great sport on paper, but no one needs to tell me it doesn’t build up practice. I know. That’s why I'm & preacher. One thing in reference to alleged infantile colic must have impressed most physicians as it has me, that is the alibi is most frequently used by parents who are ignorant or negligent of the care of a baby. Not one tenth of the parents in this country have even an elementary knowledge of the care of a baby. High schools and col- leges generally regard babies and their care as a nasty subject, Young men and young women who contemplate getting married or at least say 50, seek and obtain all sorts of informa- tion which they assume married folk should have, but it is seldom they ask for enlightenment on the care of the baby, and still rarer is a request for advice for the expectant mother. If a baby gets a fair break, I repeat, the baby never pretends to have the colic. If a young baby is itchy, dirty, too warm, oppressed with too heavy or thick or uncomfortable clothing or covers, allowed to lie for hours in wet or soiled diapers, doped with hot drops and other irritants on no par- ticular ground but just some granny notion, maltreated with physic ad- ministered by some busybody on the cited by bright lights, unreasonable noises and revelry by night, taken up and jiggled and jolted as a plaything or a source of amusement for anybody at any time of day or night, kept out or up and about for long and terrible hours after a baby’s proper bedtime, never offered a drink of water, never waS) get nice and clean and cool and to stretch and play for a bit before din- Y | ner in the evening, of course the baby will bawl with indignation and frus- tration, And when the baby bawls of course he pulls up his legs and his belly gets hard and his face turns red and altogether he make a frightful scene.

If any- body loves the baby he or she ought to seize the “colic cure” the instant any ignorant bystander has the temerity to offer it, and smash the dope to smithereens before they can smuggle it into the baby.
