SIDELIGHTS By MARCY B. DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key Weit Citizen = The Bible-reading marathon appears to be coming back as an indoor sport. A ‘w weeks ago Rev. Dake and members of This Zion City, Ill., congregation read the Bible from cover to cover in 69 ‘hours and | 47 minutes, breaking all records. But the Zionists’ were not to enjoy their triumph for long. Recently Rev. Pitcher and a team | m the Pentecostal Church of God in iitimore lowered the time from Genesis pe ae to 50 hours aad oe miiniites. kare. c ¢ dae. cabin co When Howard Gibson,-a hailrond-em- a saw a supply train speeding dewn # steep grade near Waynesboro, Va. on| the same track on which a freight was standing, he threw a switch and let the §upply train slide in safety onto a side “track. ‘He was then bawled out for having “anauthorized possession of the switch key. “Which somehow reminds us of the , late Sohn McGraw, who once fined a player for hitting a home run when he had been “signalled to bunt. = An alarm clock is always a niisante, sand to L. B. Pugh of Birmingham and L. W. Young of Dallas it proved to be a positive smenace. Within a few days of each other both men cracked their necks by yaWning and stretching at the unwelcome sound of “he alarm. Both are recovering after wear- ing steel braces to aid the fractured verte- rae to knit. | Many believe that the 1934 baseball season will be the last in which Babe Ruth will appear as a major league player. Ruth himself has intimated that this may be the -ease. But in an exhibition game with SNewark the other day he hit two home tuns. The Babe's peak salary was $80,000 in 1932; last vear he received $52,000, and ahis present contract calls for $35,000, ECONOMY AND SOUND MONEY | It should be a-source of gratification | to the right-thinking people of this con- gressional district to know that, despite the fact that congress was swept off its feet, Cogressman J. Mark Wilcox voted against the Patman “printing-press” money bill, yoted against the hill restoring a part of the salaries of federal employes and a part of the pensions of veterans, and voted to sustain thé President’s veto ofthe latter | measure. In voting against the bill . restoring salary and pehsion cuts, Mr. Wilcox subor- | dinated his own ifiterests to the interests of his country. It meant to him an additional | $1,000 a year, beginning July 1, to shave | the bill become a law, but he wholeheatt- edly coincidéd With the President in his de- claration that the adoption 6f the measure | | would rétard national recovery. The Patman bill did not mean a mere gesture to Mr. Wilcox and the comparative- ly few other representatives who voted against him, as was charged by the press ' throughout the country. | Representatives who supported the} measure, as the general editorial comment pointed out, realized there was_no change of its becoming a law, and that, should it pass the senate, which is unlikely, many of | the represéntatives, who had supported the : bill, would vote to sustain the President, | on his vetoing it. In that event, they | could tell the folks “back home,” so it was | poitited vut editorially, that they had vot: | ed for the bill in the first instance, but had | voted to sustain the President because of | his insistence that “printing-press” mon- ! ey would undermine his financial policy. But Congressman Wilcox did not play on both sides of the fence. He stood out against the measure, in the first place, be- cause he was convinced it was against the | interests of his couiitry, and he stands out | 7 against it now for the same reason. if His stand is for €conomy and sound | money. | Le : | | 18. “NO REPUBLICANS LEFT” pose 16.

The political party that paved the way for the recent deep and. ititense de- pression that engulfed the American peo- ple c&ah have little claim for recognition. It will be many a day before the republi- can party comes back—if it ever comes back at all. It could only have been a nit-wit who started the rumor that the Sarasota Herald, under its new management, would be a re- publicah newspaper. Certainly no sensible i person would make any such conjecture. No one with a modicum of horse sense would iipute to the practical business men who have lately become associated with the Sarasota Herald such a palpable folly. Very likely the “wish was father to the thought” with the party with whom the tumor originated. The Sarasota Herald was founded in 1925 by the publishers of the St. Petets+| burg Times, a democratic newspaper. Iti ha “fethdined a / democratic’ newspaper since its first publication.

It is social justice that is the in- spiration of “the new deal.” Whatever mistakes may be made in giving affect to the new deal in the details of its applica- tion, there can be no doubt it has com- ménded itself strongly to the Ametican people. As the exponent of social justice the demoéfatic party, since the time of Thomas Jefferson, has been a valiant contender for the rights of the common people.
