C. B. Tighe, principal of the Fargo senior high school. The program was held in the city auditorium and closed the school’s} calendar for the year. Tighe, who chose for his the! “Education of the Individual,” declared | that the individual has lost his iden- | tity in Europe. He cited the case of | Germany “which has contributed so much to art and science but has sold her individual rights for a ‘mess of | Pottage.’” State Is The speaker rem the voice of Musst voice,” that Russia is ruled by a min ity of the prolgtariat and that in al Europe, the state is a fetish “America was founded for the in- dividual,” he said. “It is marvelous that we have the institutions that we | hhave and we cannot afford to lose our individual rights regarding the future | of our education.” Tighe stated that | we need more physical training and the stressing of personal instruction and guidance, also that well balanced | considers the religious, | social, physical and moral develop- ment of the individual Pioneering Still Left In concluding his address, Tighe said that we are thinking more of emotional control and poise than heretofore and that America still is holding on but thete is much pioneer- ing to be done in saving the human race. Rev. Robert A.

CONTINUED Hard Working Head Of National House Stricken Suddenly Prise and shock to his friends, and Particularly to associates in congress.” | Representative Snell of New York, | minority leader of the house, de-| clared: | “I am shocked beyond all imag- | ination. It is a terrible thing. It is an almost irreparable loss.” It was seldom that under the guid- ance of Speaker Byrns the legislative desires of the White House were not followed. | A month ago Byrns predicted con- grees would adjourn the first week in June. He backed up this judgment by making a bet of a 25-cent cigar with Minority Leader Snell. | Power as speaker of the national} house of ‘representatives came to Byrns when the 74th congress con- vened Jan. 3, 1935. Back of him was a full quarter century as a member of the house from the “Hermitage dis- trict” of Tennessee, a tenure which saw him go through a dozen success- ful political campaigns and which brought him chairmanship of the house appropriations committee, leadership of the Democratic major- ity and head of the Democratic con- gressional campaign committee. “Uncle Joe” to his constituents, he ‘was &@ shrewd politician, a masterful parliamentary strategist and a fair- minded chairman and presiding offi- cer whose personal qualities won| Praise from political opponents. He was a lawyer by profession, an avid reader of history, biography and detective stories and a fisherman ‘whenever a let-up in his work al- lowed him to indulge in that pastime. ‘He liked to travel by airplane. Marked by Berber’s Joke Close to 6 feet, 2 inches tall, he was Tangy and soft-voiced. Rugged fea- tures were accentuated by beetling, shaksy eyebrows that lent themselves to caricature. The eyebrows were the result of a practical joke played on Byrné in his youth when. he went to sleep in a barber chair after ask- ing for “a clean shave.” The razor wielder carried out the request to the letter. The eyebrows grew out bushy and as Byrns’ son said in later years, “marked him for life.” jyrtis’ service on the pivotal ap- ‘Opriations committee began early in Company Morland, Kas, June 4.—(#)—It’s | not listed on any exchange, but stock in the Morland Mystery Box company is in brisk demand these days with no sellers.

Friends warned {with his steadily mounting seniority, ship following the death of Henry T. | Rainey of Illinois. | Byrns was madé chairman of the | national Democratic congressional | {campaign in 1920 and it was a matter | of pride to him that it was under his leadership that his party regained control of the house. | He was born on a farm near Cedar | Hill, in Robertson county, on Ten- | nessee’s northern border, July 20,/ |1868. He was the eldest of six children | and through much of his boyhood parents took their brood to Nashville so the children could have better! schooling. | Education Earned After being graduated from high) versity, earning his tuition by work- ing in the tobacco fields of Robert: son county during vacations. He took | an academic course for two years, then switched to the law school and} was graduated with the degree of; LL.B. in 1890. After one more sum: mer of farm work he hung up his shingle in Nashville. | Politics opened a natural path-j way to the acquaintanceship needed by a young lawyer and Byrns, four) years after he began practice, was elected to the state legislature. He served three successive terms in the house from 1895 to 1900, being speaker in his third term, then went to the state senate for one term. A campaign for district attorney general of David- Byrns was a presidential elector in 1904 and in 1908 became a candidate for congress. He had to defeat a re- doubtable campaigner, John Wesley Gaines, to win the nomination, but ber election and took his seat in the’ national house March 4, 1969. Mrs. Byrns was the former Julia Woodward of Nashville. They were! married Aug. 23, 1898, and their one son, Jessph W., Jr., became his Ulness Aided Him Except for a case of illness, Byrns | might not have reached the speaker- | ship. In 1930 he announced his can- didacy for the Democratic nomina-/ tion for United States senator and! laid plans for a statewide campaign. '! But after he had made one speech ill- | ness forced his withdrawal from the race. Instead he sought, and won, re- | nomination to the house. The “Hermitage district” which | thus renewed its faith in Byrns, got | this name from the fact that it con- | tains the homestead of Andrew Jack- | son. Officially it is the sixth Tennes- see district, embracing five counties with Nashville as the center, in the north central section of the state. It was primarily Byrns territory and there were more people in it who called him “Joe” than there were who addressed him as “Mister Byrns.” Probably one reason was that Byrns had a reputation for making good on his campaign promises. The story is told that in his first campaign he promised a crowd at Dover, in Stewart county, that he would get an appro- priation for a lock and dam on the him he had promised the impossible, that others had failed to put the pro- ject through the national house, but Byrns reiterated his promise and in his first term maneuvered the ap- Propriation through congress. Becomes ‘Watch Dog’ | With a flair for “talking out” dif- ferences with opponents, coupled Byrns’ influence in the national house grew through the years. He gained a reputation of being a “watch dog of the treasury,” counted himeelf a lib- eyal and, on occasions, followed his own convictions rather than the party program. But he was enough of a reg- ular to put aside his personal pred- ilections as a “dry” and, in 1932, ac- cept the Democratic decision to work for repeal of the 18th amendment. In 1931 he was chairman of the spe- cial economy committee of the house and also served on the Democratic joint policy committee of the house and senate. He helped write the national budget law and once sponsored a bill combining the war and navy depart- ments into & department of defense, ) explaining it would save $100,000,000 yearly. The economic crash in the waning months of the Hoover administration and its resultant backlash in politics served to thrust Byrns further into the limelight as one of the “key men” in the recovery program of President Franklin Roosevelt. “I supported the president in all of his recovery measures without a single exception and, as majority leader, was in charge of maneuvering those bills on ‘the floor of the house,” he said pridefully at the close of 73rd con- gress. His loyalty to the White House led him to support the executive's opposition to cash payment of the bonus to world war veterans and to warn the bi-partisan majority which ieee aS they were jeopar-, e whole recovery program. Strategy Saves Bills Defeat of an attempted Republican pr his congressional career, which start- ed in March, 1909. By the time thet the. election of Woodrow filibuster in amendment went through. The Ten- nessean also was empowered to move | for a suspension of all rules by a ma- Jority vote. | “The Republicans called this dicta- | torial,” said Byrns, “but it choked their filibuster to death and we got all our bills through the house.” While he was floor leader Byrns/| followed the policy of having admin- istration bills introduced by the chairman of the committee which | considered them. Consequently his) name appeared as sponsor of only one of the Roosevelt relief measures, the | bill setting up the civilian conserva- tion corps. He offered this one be- cause the chairman of the labor com- | mittee chose not to introduce it. Unanimous Choice For Speaker Byrns went before the house as candidate for the speakership on Jan. . 1935, backed by the unanimous en- dorsement of the Democratic caucus. The party held 322 seats, the Republi- cans 102, Farmer-Labor 3, Progressives and there was one vacancy. The formal ballot recorded 316 votes for) rns, Addressing the house, the new | |speaker said: “I subscribe to the platform and principles of my party and shall en- deavor, so far as I properly can, to assist in the enactment of legislation in accordance with those policies. “But I have been in a minority too; and understand its problems. While 1 shall help the majority to carry out its plans, I shall be equally insistent upon preserving the rights of the mi- nority to debate and record its posi- tion on all public questions.” The first act of the house under Byrns’ speakership was to rescind a rule which the Democrats had forced through in 1931 and which provided that a committee could be discharged | from consideration of a bill upon peti- ' tion of 145 members. By this action dating from the “czar” days of Speak- | er “Joe” Cannon, and requiring that} a majority of the entire body must petition the speaker to bring a bill out | of committee. The change strengthened the hold of the party upon what some observ- ers had predicted would be a top- heavy and undisciplined majority. The presence of 108 new members and re- ports of some legislation which they had in mind, were the determining factors in persuading ths Democratic leadership to give up the more liberal from page one practice.
