And some by their misdeeds. A good sister writes to praise her pastor for his fearless and outspoken cen- sure of the devil. . The intolerant al ays marks down the one who doesn’t believe his way as either without reason or prejudiced. What has become of the old fashioned man who thought that woman suffrage would merely give married men two votes? One thing about the election is cer- tain: Some of the predictions are going to look awfully foolish about November 10. Knowledge is not as self-knowledge. “Make it thy business to know thyself,” said Cervantes, and added, “which is the most difficult lesson in the world.” important as In the Biblical story the servant who received ten talents, and in giving an.ac- count of his stewardship showed that he had amassed ten more, was rendered praise. Today he would be classed among the predatory rich by those who were given three talents and didn’t have the ability, the energy, nor the character to produce more, Gaston Doumergue, once president of France, was coaxed out of retirement by those mouthing fascist formulas and he fell for them. He then wanted to change the Constitution to permit the government to run things as it chose, and there was no supreme court to block him, but the French congress, not a rubber-stamp out- fit, blocked him, and he went whence he came. Throughout Spain’s history women have been leaders in One, Con- cepcion Arenal, one of the most distin- guished women of the 19th century, poetess, novelist, and distinguished jurist, was a leader in various social and moral reforms. Calderon was not violating prob- ability when he represented a nun as es- caping from the cloister to become a bandit captain. A woman is on record there as leaving the convent to become a bull-fighter, returning, it appears, without reproach. A generation ago, during a great strike, an unknown girl appeared on the scene, a leader of the strikers, en- couraging, organizing, and then disap- pearing, still unknown, into the obscurity from which she had mysteriously ap- peared. revolt. GOODS NOT ORDERED Considerable annoyance is often caused by the practice of certain firms which send goods by mail té persons who have not ordered them. Sometimes the goods are accompanied by stamps for their return in case the recipient does not de- sire, to keep and pay for:them.+ But the re- wrapping and return of these packages is! unnecessary, according to the National Better business Bureau. which has _ ob- | tained legal opinions on thé subject. “So long as unordered goods are not used by the recipient, he need neither re- turn nor pay for them,” says the Bureau. | All thaf can be expected is that the re- cipient hold the goods ready to be return- ed in case a representative of the sender calls for them. And if they are not called for within a reasonable time, the recipient may have a claim for storage.” While no one would ordinarily de-} | sire to keep goods for which payment has | not been made, the paying for unordered merchandise, or even its return to the sender, simply encourages the practice of trying to force aces upon the public.

DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen Mrs. Vernon Cover of Boulder, Colo., has a most unusual traveling companion, which she takes on trips all over the coun- try. It is a buck deer, now 3 years old, with prominent antlers, and it rides in her specially arranged automobile. The ani- mal is quite civilized, and smokes cigar- ettes. Three men and a young woman were killed near Chicago recently in the crash of an airplane from which they were tak- ing motion pictures of a Burlington stream- lined train speeding at 80 miles an hour. It is thought the air currents set in motion by the train caught the low-flying plane and hurled it to the ground. Harrison Douglas, a St. Louis carpen- ter, still shaves with a razor bought by his great-great-grandfather 126 years ago and in use ever since. The ancient blade has been passed along from father to eldest son in the Douglas family, and the pres- ent owner has used it every other day since 1892. More than eight million people visit- ed national parks in the United States this year, setting a new record. There are 26 national parks, besides the many battle- fields and’bther historic places supervised by the government, ‘éompfising about 24,- 006 square:miles in aN30Phere is no lack of interesting” places fortose who would } digees:A merica first. 4 As a “demonstration of faith,” the Rev. T. Anderson of Jonesville, Va., per- mitted a copperhead moccasin and a rat- tlesnake to bite him before a congregation at a holiness meeting one Sunday recently. His faith did not avail, however, and he died a few’ hours later. A e Unbiased observers generally predict that the coming election may be very close. A majority of only a few votes may de- cide the issue in some of the big doubtful states. In this connection we may be re- minded that Blaine lost the presidency in 1884 because the great state of New York went against him by only 1,149 votes. In 1916) Wilson carried New Hampshire by only 56 ballots, and in that year in six states the majorities were less than 2 per cent of the total vote. Tests of the new mechanical cotton pieker invented by the Rust brothers of Memphis have been watched with inter- est. It is conceded that the machine will pick cotton, but its pickings are not as clean as those produced by hand. Con- sequently the cotton is graded lower and brings a correspondingly reduced price. In its present state of development the ma- chine is not much of a success, You and Your, Can, We Slow Up Santa Claus? By ELIOT JONES Profesor of ‘Tratiborteiee and Public Uitilities, Stanford University For “thee log years” the Federal Government has been a veritable preva. Santa Claus. It has promoted, at the| legislative body, despite the fact that taxpayers’ expense, a host of worthy | the great majority of the people are causes. It has} 0) attempted, through a pul lic works pro- gram, to find employment for the unem- Ployed. It has provided relief funds for those unable, not- withstanding the public works program, to obtain em- ployment. It has tried to help all kinds of people: young men and women; persons set- tled on the wrong land or in the wrong part of the country; and au- | thors, musicians, painters, and actors. These humanitarian endeavors have cost a great deal of money. but the takpa¥ers—those who must foot the bill-+have acquiesced, more. or ‘less cheerfully, in the program. They real- ized that the nation was faced with an emergency, ahd they therefore sanctioned expenditures much in ex- cess of the revenues. But they re- garded these vast expenditures as temporary in character; and during recent months they have definitely come to believe that the time to re- | trench has arrived. Can we retrench? In the abstract all sensible people favor a balanced budget. Action, however. is not taken on abstract principles, but on con- crete proposals, and on proposals to spend money in ways that inure to the benefit of millions of people. If many such proposals are made, all ‘of them may, by a process of ioe: rolling, receive the a of the to every one of them. our policy of generous spending we have opened the sluice gates. The question is: can we close them, and | hold back the flood? Have we the cour- age to insist that our Congressmen re- | fuse federal funds when offered in aid of local projects? Have we the | determination to send to Congress men whose policy is not to “get all they can for their district,” but whose policy is to place the finances of the Government on a sound foundation, even at the expense of bringing home less “bacon”? | How difficult it is to retrench is il- lustrated by our experience with re- lief and government work programs. In New Jersey, when relief was not forthcoming, many of those formerly ; on relief invaded the Capitol building, | and held a mock session of the legis- lature. In Wisconsin a large group of PWA workers invaded the empty State House, and occupied it for sev- eral days in a sort of strike for higher j wages. When relief checks were cut off in Pennsylvania thousands of job- | less moved on the State Capitol. And | in New York City, when the Federal Administrator ordered the force of workers cut by several hundreds there were demonstrations and in- stances of violence by men and women who seem to believe that they have a vested right to government aid. In the months and years to come the people will thus be called upon to decide a truly momentous ques- tion: can we retrench? Or will we eventually follow what may seem to be the easy way out: the use of the printing press for money to meet the insatiable demands of claimants for government aid? { $6.95.
