Miss Mary Bernhofer, Jumeau girl who had been studying music in Europe, appeared in concert at the Elks' Hall. “Miss Bernhofer has a wonderful voice,” Willis E.

To care for the less thrifty and unfortunate long has been a problem though some have dismissed it by pointing to “rugged individualism” as the way out. In recent years some progress has been made through group insurance and more recently the credit union has been developed with the aim of promoting thrift. All appear to have their place in the scheme of things. But the Roosevelt plan goes further and is based on the theory of elimination in large measure of the need of public help through making self aid the dominating factor in all lives. | There are but a scattered few born with the| true quality of thrift and surely if through sys-| The Administration and the country had an un- fortunate experience with the CWA last winter, when the wage scale seriously interfered with private | industry in some sections and moderately in others.

(New York Herald Tribune.) Perhaps never before have so many hearts and minds been centered upon a judicial process as are today waiting upon the words spoken in the Flem- ington courtroom. Comment upon either the argu- ments of counsel or the testimony of witnesses is at this stage impossible. But a word of high praise seems proper, and is certainly already due to one central figure in the dramatic scene. We refer to | the distinguished judge presiding at the trial, Justice |of the veterans’ bonus. Thomas W. Trenchard, and the simple dignity in| which he has succeeded in surrounding the occasion. Jersey justice has long been the envy of other Btates for its straightforward methods. In the current proceedings the court has already set an enviable example of judicial poise and expedition. The pro- cess of selecting a jury, in many jurisdictions the occasion for interminable questioning and prolonged | wrangling between counsel, was carried through with a directness that brushed aside trivialities. Justice Trenchard himself took the talesmen in hand when there was confusion of mind and explained points of law with a kindly lucidity. The moral can hardly be missed. New Jersey, by clinging to the older English point of view, has invested her judges with a force and a power on the bench that are sadly lacking in many other jurisdictions, The fault lies not in the judges in such States but in the rigid restraints which have been imposed upon courts in the name of democracy | and which prevent judges from counseling juries and, in general, from directing the course of proceed- ings with the free hand essential to a dignified and efficient trial. Justice to all concerned is obviously more likely to be achieved in such an atmosphere as prevails SHORT WAVE CHANNEL 1S switch from one other. All Over Then, to make era of equilibrium, when there are no pressing issues that demand attention. Government has come to be a process of meeting one crisis and wading into another, without let-up. The new Congress is unusual, however, in having such tremendous major- ities in both Houses of the same political party as the Administration. This situation, rarely paralleled in national his- tory, imposes an unusual burden on the leadership of the Congress. When one party controls two- thirds of the votes of each Chamber there is an inevitable tendency for the majority to split into factions, with a resultant increase in the power .of lobbies and special interests outside. which has easy sailing on party divisions has also a grave problem of maintaining discipline in its |own ranks. This is likely to be most obvious in the case In an admirable message the other day, the President made clear his opposi- tion to the cash payment of the bonus and to can- cellation of interest on veterans' bonus loans. But his common sense in this matter will not avail if the Democratic leadership in House and Senate are unable to hold their lines against the inroads of |a powerful political bloc. The same problem is likely to develop in other !ways. This Congress is certain to see multitudes |of reckless spending schemes put into the hopper. |Many of those bills would impair the nation’s credit |and set a new low point for public morality. There will be numberless efforts to raid the Treasury for the benefit of this group or that, all in the name of spending as a way to recovery. To prevent such irresponsible financial maneuvers is the first duty of the leadership, both Republican and Demo- cratic. Every great war, says a historian, gives us a new |custom.
