Political Interest Lacking
In Nations Capital

Washington, May 26-Conven-
tions of business and social organi-
cations are the only things to re-
lieve the d%eadening effect of the po-
litical ~off-season in Washington.
The congressional contingent has
completely disappeared and the ex-
odus of the diplomatic corps is I'M
derway. Mr.. Coolidge and some of
his cabinet will follow next month.
Fate of Trade Commission
The chief political crumb is the
possible fate of the Federal Trade
Commission. Senator Borah, of
Idaho, and Senator Norris, of Ne
braska, who are known as Liberal
Republicans, are doing considerable
talking to the effect that the Com
mission should be abolished. These
gentlemen have just made the dis
covery that the Commission is a hot
bed of fractional politics. The aver
age American business man and ev-
cry political observer in Washing
ton has been cognizant of the situa-
ton for at least six years. 1t took
a frank discussion of the Commits
sion's shortcoming by the newly APP
pointed member of that body, Mr..
William Humphrey, of the State of
Washington, to attract the atten-
ton of the two Western Senators.
The fact that Senator Norris has
concurred with Senator Borah indi-
Gates that the politics" which pre-
dominates at the Commission has
been transferred to the Capitol. The
former colleague of Senator Borah
is now Commissioner Nugent, of the
Federal Trade Commission. The
former Idaho Senator is teaming with
Commissioner Houston Thompson in
Directing to every step taken by
Commissioners Humphrey, Van Fleet
and Hunt, the so-called majority in
this Federal agency. Until the APP
pointment of Mr.. Humphrey, it is
said Messrs. Thompson and Nugent
were running things their own way
at the Commission. Now that the
policies Of the Commission have been
changed to conform with the con-
sentative policies of the present adj
ministration, it appears that the mi
nority wants Congress to take a
hand. We are told that Senator
Norris has an axe to grind as the
majority members Of the Commits
sion refuse to heed his request for
investigation Of business interests.
Mr.. Humphrey and his associates say
that inasmuch as they have quasi
judicial powers they prefer the ad-
vice of the Attorney General of the
United States on legal matters to
that of a committee of Congress. This
is practically the only exciting po-
litical development noted at the Cap
itol. Secretary Hoover is again adj
vocating reorganization of Federal
departments. 1t is his contention
that the r~egrouping of Federal agen-
cies would result in enormous saw
ings to the taxpayers. His program,
if adopted, would relieve the Presi-

GOLDEN RULESUNDAY
WORTHY OF SUPPORT
EDUCATIONAL MEETING SUN
DAY EVENING ENJOYED BY
LARGE AUDIENCE
REAL TEST SUNDAY DEC. 6
CITIZENS URGED TO PREPARE
LIMITED DINNER AND GIVE
BALANCE TO STARVING

The services at the Junior High
School Auditorium Sunday evening
to prepare the people of the COM
munity for the proper observance of
Golden Rule Sunday, Dec. 9th, were
largely attended.
Rev. Cecil Sparkes, county chair
man of the drive, had charge of the
meeting. A, twelve foot rule at the
top of the procenium arch of the
stage contained a word for each let
ter of Golden RULE and speakers
had been selected to discuss each
word. A few of those selected were
unavoidably detained.
In opening the meeting Rev.
Sparkes explained the particular OBJ
ject of Golden Rule Sunday was to
relieve the starving condition of the
children of the Near East. He was
followed by Rev. S. S. Wyand, Ben
Morgan, Clyde Thomas, Miss Ellen
Kruse, DR.. J. A. Dubois and Mayor
William Parker.
Each one of the speakers gave en-
pertaining and instructive talks.
Splendid music for the occasion was
furnished by mixed chorus from the
l'churches of the city and a quartet
from the Girls High School Glee
Club.
In speaking of the observance of
Golden Rule Sunday, Dec. 6 Chair
man C. S. Sparks says:
"Plans have been completed for
the observance of Golden Rule Sum
day following the gathering of Sum
day evening last. The local COM
mittee have arranged for the Boy
Scouts to have very practical part
in the observance of the day as to
them will be given the responsibility
of delivering the packet to each
house. This will be done Saturday
morning and they will be collected on
| Monday by the same Scouts. 1t is
hoped that those who can give liber-
! ally will do so as the cause demands
real sacrifice. The committee feel
that the partaking of limited meal
will be one of the best tests of the
real acceptance of the Golden Rule.
1t is urged upon all, especially where
there are children in the home. 1t
has been suggested that about four
cents per person in family should
be spent on the Golden Rule dinner
this will tax the ingenuity of many
housewife but it is wonderful what
can be done when we are compelled
to economic and for many it will
be q rare but refreshing experience.
The grocery stores will help in sug-
costing inexpensive foods which can
be used.
The committee are looking forward
to d very ready and enthusiastic re-
Spouse to this appeal and feel sure
that the observance of the day and
the giving of our gifts will come back
in blessings upon the whole COM
mllniry "
