HANGING JUDGE LYNCH

Congressman Martin B. Madden,
of Illinois predicts that an anti-lynch-
ing law will be enacted by Congress
before the present session adjourns.
He has constantly borne in mind that
the Republican National Platform
contains. provision reading as fol
lows: "We urge Congress to con-
slider the most effective means to end
lynching in this country, which con-
tinues to be terrible blot on our
American civilization" Mr.. Madden
had done everything he properly
could to expedite legislation of that
character, and has spoken on numer-
Gus occasions in favor of it. "In a
democracy such as this" said he re-
Gently to Washington audience, "all
citizens must be treated on a basis
of exact equality. Laws must be
made impartially and executed with
out discrimination for any reason
The colored people should have an
equal opportunity with the whites in
the race for life"

All water-piping systems on ships
will be required to be so arranged
that no connections can be made be-
tween drinking water pipes and pipes

ships yielding water not intended for
drinking purposes will be marked by
signs stating that the water is unfit

of typhoid fever and dysentery, as
have occurred in the past, will thus be
reduced to the minimum, it is said.
People may be assured that drink

THE IMPETUS TO BUREAUCRACY

Washington, June THAT bureau
cracy has its impetus in the Execu-
tive Departments rather than in Con-
gress, is the assertion of the Repub-
lican Publicity Association, through
it's President, Hon. Jonathan Bourne,
Jr. The Association says:
"The humorist on the staff Of the
New York Evening Post tells of a
young man who went to university
professor with a request that he be
given training that would fit him
to become superintendent of a great
railway system. He also inquired how
long it would take and how much
it would cost. The professor is rep
resented as replying, Young man,
such a course would cost you 100000
and require 20 years of your time.

"As piece of humor, the story is
not bad. The humorist is worth his
salary however liberal it may be. But
as portrayal of the mental attitude
of members of Congress, the story
is far, far from the truth and will
be injurious if many people give it
credence. Stories such as this. which
give the people an erroneous impress
sion of their representatives at Wash
lngton, cannot be fruitful of good
IN fact there can never be good re-
suits from dissemination of untrue
impressions.
The fact is that Congress has
nearly always approached reluctantly
and hesitatingly every attempt to i'm
pose government control over private
business. There was agitation for
government supervision of the rail-
roads for years and years before Con-
gress finally enacted the laws which
created the Interstate Commerce
Commission. The legislation was en-
acted in response to public demand
not through any assumption Of su-
perior ability on the part of men,
bers of Congress.
During the Wilson administers
ton, there was much legislation Civ
ing the government control over pri-
vate business, but this did not orig
mate with Congress. The original
proposals came from the Executive
Departments, or from President Will
son, and Congress acceded to the de-
mand of the bureaucrats for control
over private enterprise. 1t is un-
doubtedly true that bureaucracy feels
itself competent to direct not one but
practically all the businesses of the
country. There is scarcely bureau in
any government department but is
asking Congress for more power over
the lives and activities of the citizens
of the Republic. Scarcely ever, il
ever, has a bureau suggested that it
be relieved of any of its power or
that it's duties be abolished.
"It was the President, not Con-
gress, that wanted the Railroad Ad-
ministration established. 1t was Mr..
McAdoo, not Congress, that scrambl-
ed the railroads. 1t was the bureau
Gratis, not Congress, that increased
railroad expenses out of all proper
tion to the increase in freight handl-
ed and out of all proportion to the
increase in revenue. The same will
be found to be true in almost every
instance in which private enterprise
has found itself handicapped by gov
ernmental hindrances. 1t is true that
Congress enacts the laws which give
the bureaucrats their power but this
is brought about not through the in
itiative of Congress, but at the re-
quest Of the executive or in response
to public demand.
"Review of legislative history will
show this to be true, and newspapers
that give a contrary impression
through the mediumship of their
humorous paragraphs are in poor
business to say the least"

GARDEN NOTES

Make paintings of corrots, beets,
and parsnips during June for winter
storage. The roots are usually more
tender and of better quality than
those from the earlier paintings.
When raspberry plants appear to
be "sick" and there are no indica-
tion of insect troubles the safest
plan is to dig out the diseased plants
and burn them.
For plant lice on roses and other
plants, use "Black Leaf 40" or some
other reliable brand Of nicotine sui.
phate. Use l teaspoonful in quarts
of water and add little soap to
make it spread better. When using
be sure that the insects are actually
hit with the mixture.
A good sprayer is almost neces-
sity in the garden. One of the KNAPP
sack type will be found very con
venient and of sufficient capacity tC
do all the necessary spraying in
large garden.
Don't forget the Importance OF
thinning vegetable crops if large in
dividual plants are desired. The fol
lowing are the distances recommend
cd for Spacing plants in row: Onions
2 inches; beets and carrots inches
parsnips, 6 inches; winter radishe'
inches; ruta bagas, 8 inches; wa'
beans when drilled in rows, to
inches; Lima beans, IL inches; heaC
lettuce to 1 inches depending oi
the variety. Thinning should Away
be done early while the plants arr
small to prevent the plants becoming
stunted as a result of crowding.

IS TIME TO BEGIN
 FIGHT ON WEEV|L

Little Rock, Aug. 30.-The damage
 caused by boil weevils this year is
 strong evidence that these pests have
 come to stay and that future out
 breaks may be expected by growers
 who neglect control measures that
 make it practicable to raise cotton
 in spite of the weevils, Jim G. Fergu- son, commissioner of agriculture, said
 today.
 "Seed selection for next years planting should be made in the field early in the season by the grower or Iby trustworthy man who is familiar with the variety and who knows what type of stalk natures early and has fighting chance with the weevils," said Mir. Ferguson. The stalk should be vigorous, short -Jointed and well developed, and have numerous fruit ing branches on which are sufficiently large bolls to make profitable yield of fiber. The bolls and their location should be carefully noted. Early ma turity is hastened by selecting seed bolls that are first to open near the main stem of fruit branches, close to the ground. Select bolls that are well developed, have five locks, and are free from disease The fiber should hang in the locks in spite of the wind and the rain. yet it must be easily picked. In other words we want cot ton that not only natures early enough to escape the weevils but we want a cotton that is vigorous grow CT, makes high yields consistent with quality of fiber and at the same time is storm proof and yet not too hard to gather. These desirable features are not beyond the reach of any grower who will practice careful seed selection persistently.'

OBITUARY.

On Friday, August 26, the death angel visited the home of Mir. and Mrs. J. D. Smith and took from this sinful world their daughter, Iva. Iva professed faith in Christ at the age of 12 years and joined the Missionary Baptist church. She lived a true Christian life till God saw fit to call her home. We can not express Tn words how we miss her. She was loved by all that knew her. We can not see why Iva was taken from us so young; it was Gods will, not ours. Iva leaves a father and mother, three brothers and four sisters to mourn her departure and a host of relatives and friends.
 She is not dead but has fallen asleep in Jesus. She cannot come back to us, but if we will only prepare we can meet her in a better home than this, for we know she has gone to dwell with the angels. Loved ones, mourn not, look forward to a better time.
