In Democratic campaign pam
phlet issued yesterday under the title
,of THE Book of Facts" fer use by
Democrats in the coming election
campaigns, the Republican admins
tration is characterized as morally
ana intellectually bankrupt"
The pamphlet contains assertions
that the record of the administration
during the last six years has been
consistently subservient to big bust
ness, has increased governmental eX-
penditures and has failed to deal with
the farm problem.
THE facts show that alike in its
domestic and iii it's foreign politics.
it asserts. the Republican admins
tration, more especially. if that is
possible, since President Coolidge
went TO the White House. has been
morally and intellectually bankrupt.
Sees Republicans Ashamed.
Republicans themselves are ashamed
of the record during the Harding
regime when the Daughertys, the
Falles. the Forbeses, 'the Jess Smiths,
the Howard Manningtons polluted the
channels of Government President
Coolidge, who Jagged SO far behind
public opinion in Furnishing Daughef-
ty, shows n similar lack of moral in
dignatiOn in his attitude toward cor
ruption in public life.
THE essential spirit of Republican
ism in Government is one of cynic-
ism, of contempt for the intelligence
and the idealiSm of the common
people of the United States"
Farm relief was listed as one of the
dominating issues in the book which
said that Democrats propose to aid
agriculture by restoring the farmers
export market, adjust the tariff to a
competitive basis, lower rail and
water rates, stimulate cooperative
marketing. liberalize farm credits,
produce cheap fertilizer and create a
farm export corporation.
Further Tax Cut Urged.
Advocating further tax reduction,
the book charged that every pro-
vision of the three revenue bills pass
ed since the World War, which gave
relief to the smaller and general tax
payer, We're put there by Democratic
amendments.
Considerable space was given to

Prof. Opsjon, also tell that one woman

Cigars and Names.

A decision has just been rendered
by the Acting Commissioner of Pat
ents in favor Of the manufacturer of a
brand OF cigars to which he has given
the name Of Americas most famous
motor car maker. Protest by the De-
troit motor magnate has been denied
on the ground that the word in Ques-
ton Is not necessarily confined to the
corporate name Of the petitioner, but
is a common word of our language,
used not only as g. name for many
persons, but also as a common noun
and as a verb. So long as the name
Is not coupled with the first name of

Of a similar article.
Many cigars have been named after
famous men and these brands have
In some cases survived the repute OF
their willing or sometimes unwilling
prototypes. A cigar named for a once
popular actor is still going strong
years after his death and is favored
by generation that knew him not.
1t was once said that to have a
cigar named after him was the high
est compliment that could be paid to
a man. Sometimes the owners of
these names were compensated for
the use Of their titles. Again they
were merely flattered. Some public
men have protested against the un-
authorized use Of their names and
have been sustained; where the names
were clearly and fully indicated. In
this present case with only the last
name used, there is in the eye of the
law not a sufficient identification to
justify protest.
There are cigar smokers who might
question the business wisdom of put
ting forth a smoke named for the
most numerous factor. in the traf-
fic congestion in America. But
after all. it is up to the cigar and

there are Americans who do not know
that the adjective "runic" Is made
from the noun. "runes," meaning the
characters used in writing by Teu'
tonic tribes in northern Europe in
early times. OF runes the encyclo-
pedia tells that three classes are
recognized-Anglo-Saxon, German and
Scandinavian--but that the difrer
ences of form which distinguished
them are no wider than the differences
between the alphabets employed In
very ancient times by various Greek
peoples-between the old Athenian
alphabet for example and the old
Corinthian. or between the earliest
Phoenician and the earliest Hebrew.
The Teutonic word "runa' meant
priest or sorcerer, and it was believed
that there was magic in writing,
hence the writings were called
"runes."

Honor an Humble Friend!

With q Government forecast that
the weather will be cooler, or at least
not so hot, it might be grateful to pay
the poor tribute Of few kind words
to an humble thing which has served
us well, the watermelon. The groves,
drives and capering stream or ROCK
Creek Fark have done their part in
helping humanity in its Midsummer
stress, and Potomac Park, especially
Hams Point, deserves a word OF
praise. Even the parklets and their
trees have helped. The street trees
those that have escaped the massacre
said to be justified by traffic-have
given such shade as they could. The
fountains, public and soda. have lent
aid. But there is fear lest the be-
nevolence of the watermelon be over
looked. It has sacrificed itself for US.
1t has suffered destruction by tens Of
thousands for our comfort. 1t has
striven, even as the ice cream plants
have striven, to keep us cool. or at
least to keep down our fever.
There may be some who look with
scorn on the watermelon. They do
not hold it in the regard they profess
for the pomegranate and the orchid.
But the whole world knows that there
are women, and even men, who are
supercilious to the onion, the turnip
and the cabbage.
The watermelon lays no claim to
style and class. 1t came to America
from Africa in a slave ship. 1t Is a
member of the gourd family and has
many poor relations. Like many
other creatures Of poor and obscure
ancestry, it has come to be a thing of
worth and influence. 1t shows the
topsy-turvy state of society that a
thing of such humble origin should
become a thing of eminence and
power.
One does not hold that the water
melon has achieved perfection. 1t
still has seeds, and but few water
melons come up to the claims made
TOT InOIn Dy tlSIA lHdL sell lIIcLl,
Sweet as honey" "Red to the rind."
etc. But the watermelon, in this pres
ent fine example of old-fashioned
Summer, has done US good turn. A
Washingtonian. chock-full of civic
spirit, may regret that it is the
Georgia and North Carolina water
melon which has rushed to the res
cue, but he is confident that the Poto.
mac watermelon, the fairest Of its
kind, is tugging at it's vine and rearing
to go to the help of its friends and
kindred in Washington. OF course,
the watermelon that comes from the
South to sunny Washington is not the
noblest example of its tribe. 1t is
the melon that comes to Washington
in sloop, pungy and bugeye from tide
water Virginia and Maryland that is
the perfect fruit-or vegetable. And
when the homegrown melon is ready
for our defense. then let Summer do
its worst!

early years. We do know that He
emerged from that humble home the
supremest Master the world has
known. That there was discipline,
regulation, paternal and maternal
love, those greatest elements that
make for character, is conspicuously
evident. The piety Of it is disclosed
in the precision with which its reIi-
gtous practices We're maintained. 1t
Is the unapproachable model toward
which we vainly aspire. Every
biography Of the good and the great
rehearses a like story. Every out.
standing career has had as it's dis
tinguishing mark a wholesome and
finely disciplined home environment.
When Robert Burns would describe,
in his "Cotter's Saturday Night" the
glory and the greatness of his coun-
try, he took the humble setting of a
PEASANTS home, and declared:
From scenes like these
Old Scotia's glory springs,
That makes her loved at home,
Revered abroad"
We are addressing ourselves with
too much concern to the so-called
youth movement 1t would profit
us more If we would give serious
heed to the parent movement. Youth
today is only rejecting, in speech and
habit, what it has caught from its
elders. 1t Is doing precisely what we
did when we were young. It is in
conceivable that home can be rea-
sonably secure in its moral character
where the imperatives of religion are
neglected or ignored. No amount of
culture, no consistent luxuries, no en-
vironing refinements, can take the
place of this supreme requisite.
When the French Revolution was
running it's course, one of its great
leaders declared that the abandon
ment of religion menaced the security
Of the government.
"Spare the rod and spoil the child
was once a widely recognized maxim.
Neglect religious training and you
impair the moral and spiritual char
acter, Is a better maxim. If the
mothers of this land would highly
resolve to think more of their solemn
and sacred obligations to develop the
children God has given them, by re-
storing to the home the principles
and ideals Of religion, they would con-
tribute more to the happiness, per.
manence and prosperity of society

with a firm conservation to the holy

advance that would bring peace and

world. "Set thine house in ORDER
