VITAL QUESTIONS
DISCUSSED BY
LEADING EDITORS
OF THE COUNTRY
SENATE MUST REFORM

The demonstration of the numerical
strength of the advocates of the ship
subsidy measure in the Senate is sig
niieant as it shows that under the
present Senate rules, ours is gov
eminent Of the minority, instead of
the majority, at any rate in the
Congress. So long as interminable
debate is permitted in the upper
branch of the national legislative
body this will always be true When
the opponents of a measure lack the
votes, they have only to begin to
talk and their success or failure de-
ponds merely upon their physical
ability to continue talking. This is
so absurd and so illogical situation
that it stems impossible that it
should be permitted to exist. But
exist it does and it is so firmly en-
trenched that all attempts that have
been made to change it have proved
futile.
Sometime, however the change will
come. The national Congress will
not always subject itself to the die
tation of the minority.-Portland

"FORW ARD"

The convention of the Workers
party, body composed almost ex-
clusively of persons who hate work,
adopted a large number of resolutions
in the courst of its sessions None
of them, however, contained more ex-
clamation points to the square inch
than the resolution which ended as
follows.
Workers. Forward with the Work
ers party! Forward to the victory of
the American social revolutions under
the leadership and guidance of the
Communist internationally
While it was in the forwarding
business the convention might as well
have swept forward to the national
conclusion:
Forward to the crimes and shames
of soviet Russia under the leadership
and guidance of the Communist In
ternational!
Forward to the sitting of ambition
and the suffoeation of industryl
Forward to the destruction of
earth's most valued institutions, re-
ligion and the home.
Forward TO the subversion of all
social and governmental order!
Forward to hunger, disease and
dirt!
Forward to despair and DEATH

FEDERAL ACTION AGAINST
NOBS

The seconl trial at Her7'in is now
under way The outcome Of the iirst
was iist.nctly disheartsring 81: not
unexpe.tet. There are 10 reasons
in sight 81 expecting diffe.ent re-
suit this time. The same facts are to
be used, the same parties are to con-
duct the case, the spirit of the COM
munity is the same Presumably the
state put forward its strongest
presentation of evidence. The story
of that HeIrin trial gives those who
favor federal action against lynching
a new and powerful argument, only
it applies to mob murders of every
sort, to the murder of strike-break
ers in broad daylight by crowd of
frenzied strikers, TO the staying Of
citizens of Louisiana by masked
band under cover of night, as well as
to the lynching of negroes. The
trouble in such a place aas Herrin Is
to get jury that will convict. Often
enough it is impossible to find a local
man with the pluck to serve as prose
cutor. Small communities, and
sometimes communities of size, cover
before a mob. On these grounds Col
lier's Weekly declares for a federal
law to cover mob murders of all
sorts. The argument is strong. The
objection of course is that it would
take over for Washington again a
power that ought to stay with the
several states. Nevertheless public
sentiment is setting toward the fed
raj plan, and the only way to turn the
current is for the states to give the
nation some outstanding illustrations
of their viii and ability to apprehend
such murderers and punish them

FOR ARTIFICIAL FEEDING or
INFANTS. GET SKILLED ADVICE

The mother who is so unfortunate as
to be unable to nurse her baby dur
ing the first nine months of its life,
has a problem upon which she must
bring all her intelligence to bear. She
cannot, of course, make cows milk
exactly like mothers milk, but she
must do her best to make it suit her
baby as well as possible. This she
should do with the advice of her doc
tor or the baby clinic.
1t is too big problem to solve
alone says DR.. Florence Powder
maker nutrition specialist of the
State Agricultural College, who fur
Their adds that it is certainly too inn
portant to let the well meaning but
unframed neighbors or relations
solve for you. Your baby deserves
the best.
When the doctor or nurse gives the
formula-follow it exactly. Do not
vary it even by teaspoon. For the
normal baby the mother is usually
advised to use cows milk which she
knows is clean and from healthy
animals. To this is added form of
sugar-cane sugar, milk sugar or
dextro- meltose-and the whole dilu-
ted with water, creeal water or lime
water. The proportion of each de-
ponds on the age and condition of the
baby.
Patent, advertised baby foods and
condensed milk should be used only
when advised by the phsician in a
particular case. They frequently
make tat baby, but a fat baby is
not the same as strong, muscular,
well-developed baby.
Because Mrs, Next Door neigh
boris baby did well on a certain for
mula proves nothing about your
baby, Two babies are not like two
pins, or even two dolls turned out by
machines and exactly alike. Each is
very different and should be treated
| as such.

How is she going to pay for the
wasted energy? With the extra en-
ergy needed to overcome WEAKNESS
when she returns to her job. Then
she signs, why is houswork 50
hard?"
Why is it,, questions Mrs. Ida B.
Harrington, extension specialist in
household management. Is it the
work, or is it partly our way of using
the human machine in doing it? Ask
yourself some questions.
1. Do you stand with your body so
balanced that your weight is on the
balls of your feet? Do you stand tall,
with your chest high and your back
straight? If mot, is it due to i'll
health. poor shoes, or a low kitchen
table?
2. Do you walk with a springy
step, making full use Of your foot
muscles? Or do you trudge? Do you
walk with feet parallel? Or do you
advance on the bias?
3. Does your chair support the
lower part of your back? Do you sit
so that your body rests on the full
length of your thighs? Or do you
cross your legs ,hunch your shoulders,
and crumple up over your work?
4. Do you make your homework
means of physical grace by using
the proper muscles for their appoint
ed tasks? Or do you let some of your
muscles be slackers where others
work overtime?
5. Do YOU fit your work to your
speed rate7 Or do you work under a
continual sense of hurry.
6. Do you relax when you rest?
Z. Is your energy used in over
coming the effects Of cramped lungs,
bent back, abused feet, rusty mus
Giles and tense nerves? Or are you
free to spend your enrgy on your
job?
Follow these suggestions! They will

LOOKING FOR THE SPECTACLES
THAT ARE ON YOUR FOREHEAD

Have you ever read the book or
seen the play of Maeterlink's "Blue
Bird ?"
You will remember that the theme
of the play was the search for hap
piness, which was symbolized by the
Blue Bird The pilgrims left and
sought for it in many chimes, only to
return and discover that the bird in
the cage at home was Blue Bird.
"They all look good when they are
far away is the slangy expression
for it.
If you are in Lambertville, then
New York, Philadelphia, California
or Florida is the IDEAL place.
If you are in New Hope, then hap
piness lies in either the above named
places or else in some other ideal place
You have read or heard or dreamed
about.
Did you ever stop TO think that the
people in those places are just like
NOu- NlSHiilS lNiNtIptlN ltidl Lity
could be some place else?
Do you potter about looking for
your spectacles when they are rest
ing on your forehead?
Do you blunder about looking for
your hat when it is on your head?
Do you look for your pencil when it
is behind your ear?
Are you looking for bird to shoot
when it is resting on the barrel of
your gun?
Are you looking for happiness ev-
cry place but where you are?
Are You so utterly little-souled and
narrow-minded that you cannot see
and feel the potential possibilities of
happiness and success that lie all
about you?
And even if you DO read all this,
you'll so right on wishing you We're
living some place else!

ALEBAMA'S GOVERNOR INDOR-

81 hope that the American Legion
succeeds in closing the doors TO this
mongrel immigration from Europe,
which has flooded our country" de-
elared Governor William w. Bran
don of Alabama at a recent meeting
of the Montgomery Post, Amer

the state made a strong address, in
dorsing the stand of the American
ism commission of the American Le-
gion which is leading in a campaign
for restriction of immigration to the
United States for a fixed period of
years.
"Home made" immigration is what
is needed in America, declared Go

he added that it should be the func-
ton of every Alabaman to stimulate
each citizen to better understand
ing of national pride and recogni-
ton of the rights he is entitled to
enjoy. Governor Brandon said that the

FEDERAL OWNERSHIP COSTLY

Director General of Railways Da-
Wis, the third in that distinguished
official line, has prepared figures to
show that is cost the taxpayers OF
the country approximately $780,
5000 for the war luxury of state
controlled railroads. But that figure
must not be misunderstood. 1t covers
only direct charges on the taxpay-
en- and takes no account of the much
larger cost which the country is pay
ing each year as legacy of govern
ment management. No statisticlan
would undertake to compute the cost,
which ultimately falls upon the pub
lie, of the decentralization to the
transportation system through ply
steal neglect and the shooting up OF
operation costs directly chareeabte
to that lamentable period when the
government controlled railway oper-
alton. And we will continue to pay
that bill until the system gets back
to normal, however long it may be
delayed.
The only consolation to be ex-
tracted from this knowledge is that
every year we are getting further
away from possibilities of state OPP
Grafton of the railways. The lesson
has been taken to heart. Only radi-
cal Missionaries return to the topic.
The Plumb plan has lost out even
with the large brotherhoods and finds
advocates only with those who want
political officials to vote them high
pay and who knew nothing of the
details of acquiring the railroad pro
perty. 1t was one thing when the rail
way shareholders agreed to govern
ment management in war time and
another when it comes to issuing
$25 700, 100000 in bonds TO buy out
these sharehhlders-something that
simply can't be done.
Government failed in it's first big
experiment and we've got TO pay the
bill and make the most of it. There
is no use crying over split milk, but
it is right to spill as little more as
possible We may be paying a high
price for our lesson, but at least we
have the lesson.-St. Paul Pioneer
Press.

MAKES FUN OF U. s. DRY LAW

The following despatch from Lon
don was published in the New York
Tribune, and shows the view held by
other nations on our farcial Prohi-
bition law.
CHESTERTON DERIDES U s..
DRY LAW AS HYPOCRISY
Refuses to Accept Prohibition Edicts
From "Men Who Roast Negroes"
Gilbert X. Chesterton, who recent
ly returned from an extended tour Of
America, told large gathering Of
Britishers recently that he was given
wine and cocktails in large quantities
in nearly every private house he WIS.,
tied while in the United States. On
all sides, he said, he saw hypocrisy
and treason against the law.
England, he declared, was not at
tached to the American continent,
but was part of the ancient civlliza-
ton of Europe, which had always
drunk and always would drink wine
and beer. 1t was alleged, said Mr..
Chesterton, that alcohol was a pois-
on If such was the case, he could
only say that the jolly farmers OF
England and the happy peasants OF
Europe, torn with this hidden and
CHASTITY poison, were bearing up with
remarkable fortitude.
Mr.. Chesterton referred to prohi-
bition as "the curious colonial ex-
pertinent across on the other side"
eve are asked" said he, ito follow
with reverence Americas example.
They burn negroes alive in the Unit
ed States, and although l am not
pharisaical about that, do abso-
lutely refuse to admit that society
in which crowd of people meet,
while man in evening dress sets
fire to a negro, has right to set
itself up as an example of morality
to the world"

AT WASHINGTON'S MONUMENT
A. Biney seip, mentally unbal-
anced World War veteran of Wash
ington, D. c., hurled himself to death
from the window at the top Of the
Washington Monument, a 504 foot
drop, on March 9. 1t is the first time
in the history of the famous shaft
which is opposite the White House,
that any one has dared suicide in this
manner, although about seven years
ago woman ended her life by jump
ing down the long elevator shaft in
side the monument.
No one saw Seip make his leap.
The guard had turned away when he
jumped and no sightseers We're pres

four feet from the south wall.
It is believed that Seip walked up
the stairs to the top of the monu-

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Not What do you think ABOUT
but "What do you THINK" There
is difference. To think at random
about idle things is only to dabble.
Thinking is like fishing. There are
those who dabble their lines here
and there from place to place. And
there are those who wisely pick a spot
to fish in, AND STICK TO 1T. And
you know that the latter are those
who catch the fish.
Constructive thinking demands con
centration; concentration demands
will power; will power demands con-
structive thinking. 1t works in cir
Gle. And when the circle is compile.
ted your thinking is rewarded by the
realization Of the thing YOU have
thought.
The man who fixes his mind upon
a thing, and THINKS it with heart
and soul and body, is going TO ae-
complish that thing.
Those of you who saw the motion
picture drama Of "The Miracle Man."
the man who performed healing upon
those who were afflicted, will remem-
Der it was said of him that he was
AN embodied thought
In other words, he THOUGHT with
such intense concentration that he
exerted a miraculous influence upon
those who came to him. Yet he was
blind, he was deaf, he was dumb.
And altho this was but the pic
turization of drama, it nererthe-
less embodied the principles of psy-
chology. The crazy man goes insane
because he thinks crazy things; the
inventive genius perfects things that
advance civilization because he thinks
inventive things.
How often have YOU looked at gone
modern invention and said, "Now why
didn't | think of that"
You didn't think of it because you
didn't exert your will power in con-
centrating upon the idea. The other
fellow did.
Nothing has ever occurred before il
was thought out by somebody before
hand. Nothing has ever been devel-
oped before it was thought out in
the mind of its originator. Nothing
can be accomplished without CON
STRUCTIVE THINKING.
A THING MUST FIRST EXIST
IN THE MIND OF MAN BEFORE
1T CAN BE PRODUCED IN PLY
SIGAL FORM.
If you aspire to become successful,
YOU MUST THINK SUCCESSFUL,
LY!
If you have ambitions for 5ecoming
famous or wealthy, YOU MIST
FIRST THINK FAMOUSLY OR
WEALTHILYi
You can accomplish more than you
realize if you concentrate with will
power and construtive thinking upon
