Kings Mountain.
Chicago Tribune. )


 Congress has authorized an appropriation of $1,000 for survey of park to include the battlefield of Kings Mountain It lies on the North and South Carolina line and both States are ready to satisfy Government requirements When the spot has the protection of a Govern ment preserve there will be given to the future one of the most interesting battlefelds in the country.
 It is now, nearly be, as it was in October, 17SO, when the mounted rifemen out of the mountains to the north to give the Southern campaign of Cornwallis it's first effec- tive check. Modern life has not crept very close to this isolated range. One of the fine roads of North Carolina is mile so from it, but the immediate approaches roads of the past
 There is a rough way up the slope by the crags and rocky knolls where the mountaneers sustained the bayonet charges of Fergusons Tory regiment by slipping from them and returning to the attack. The Nation has put up monu- ment to commemorate the success of the Indian nghters. The descendants of the men have put up another. Fergusons grave remains under it's mound of rocks at the foot of a slope where the dead officer was carried for burial by the victors after nearly all his men had been killed or captured.
 The men who won were the men who even In the Revolution were carrying the frontier of the country west, and the place of their victory still remains and should continue to remain as 1t was when they rode out of the North to give the country the cheering news of a patriot victory Tn the days of discouragng defeat

ABUSING THE THANKING PRIVILEGE.

Facts revealed in recent sessions of the Sen ate campaign fund Investigating committee have again brought into prominence the abuse of the franking privilege by member of Congress. The principal user of the Congressional frank seems to have been Congressman Theodore Burton Ohio Several months ago he delivered a speech supporting Secretary Hoovers candidacy for the Republican Presidential nomination and mailed out 760000 copies under his official frank Sen ator Heflin, according to document clerk in the Government printing office, mailed out 556,000 copies of speeches he made attacking Gov. Smith, the Catholic Church and the Mayor of Montgom- cry Ala. Congressman Bland Ohio, made speech in favor of the late Senator Willis and mailed out 490000 copies of it. Perhaps they entirely within their rights in so using their privilege of mailing them at Government expense, but it looks as if their enthusiasm had led them to overstep the limits which a good of pro- prety would have fixed for them.
 However, there is nothing strikingly new about such practice. As far back as 1874 a Postmaster General, long since dead, voiced a poignant plaint in his annual report what he termed the arrogant use of their free mailing privileges by members of the House and Senate For years there have been complaints over the mass of "franked' stampless matter dumped into the mails by Senators and Representatives It did not need the testimony given before the Senate Investigating Committee to show to what extent the practice prevails. Senator Hefln, Representatives Burton and Bland and others must have had their eounterparts in the '30s and '40s of the ninteenth century, for about that time conditions became so bad that the frankine privilege abolished for a short time.
 Leaving out the question of impropriety or bad taste, the cost to the Government of this practice is by no means inconsiderable. In the fiscal year ending June 30, 1921 it cost the Postcfice Department S520691 just to trans port the volume of letters and speeches, many oi the latter not even delivered on the floor oi Congress but merely inserted in the Congressional Record There 32 .733617 pieces of mai matter "franked" out in that year, the largest proportion being extracts and speeches from tht Record How much of this served any usefu purpose is open to question. Certainly large part of it never read and represented pur, waste not only to the senders but also in tms and money to the Government

The little imp which prods into the attitude and condition of despondency is, perhaps, the most active of his fellows, who number legion and he goes up and down the earth with all the speed of Ariel. He is, too, as per- sistent in his cussedness Ariel is said to be persistent in his benefcence
 Treat this annoying sprite you should treat the fy-swat him. and swat him hard and often. You may not be able to kill him, because mps are mmortal-at least they in a sense--but you him away. He is a veritable coward He is more afraid of smile than crow is afraid of gun. Just smile at him and see how quickly he will stick his forked tail between his slender legs. drop his ptchfork and break for the shadows of the underworld.
 Don't be blue. Quit worrying. That gets you nothing-nothing but sorrow and discom- fort Moreover, it bothers a lot of other people.
 Never mind yesterday it has gone forever. Leave tomorrow to take of itself It prob sequences of joy if only you keep your heart in tune to be worthy of them. Today is yours. Make it the best day you have lived earth. Today is the time to labor and to win Most of troubles be overcome if we do not magnify them too greatly.
 When your imp of the perverse prod ding and poking at you, swat him with eheery smile, uppercut him with kindly word or thought. He'll skip out all right. And when he is gone you will discover that the blue still is in the sky. and that the sun shines and the birds are singing, that Love and Friendship the most worthwhile among the angels are standing by your side, waiting to assist you to surmount the most obstinate barriers which may stand in your way. Friendship and love are the open sesames to the higher levels of life.

THE LISTENERS IN.

Tomorrow. as they did two weeks ago, the radio fans of the country will tune in on the National Broadcasting Companys chain of sta- tions which will put on the air the proceedings at the Democratic National Convention at Hous- ton There are said to be 12.0O0.O00 receiving sets in the country and that 40,00O,0oO fans will listen in on them Probably there that many radio listeners but unless of the dramatic develops than transpred at the Kansas City conclave it is doubtful if that number actually views by air the Democratic ''show of 1928"
 The most painstaking, careful and scientific attention has been devoted by the broadcasters in making preparations for handling the conven- tion The facilities available will be far ahead of those used to broadcast the Madison Square Convention in 1924 progress in radio has been material in the past four years For safety s sake there will be a double installation and sev- eral new mechanical devices will be used to clarify reception. An innovation will be used in broadcasting itself Instead of a lone micro phone set cn the platform to catch words that fall from the lips of convention orators four mikes will be put into service; the plat form, one above the delegates the convention floor in a good place to catch the inevitable and essential band, and one in booth above the press gallery through which Graham Me Nance will record convention scenes for the benefit of listeners in. Mir McNamee will have aides some of the most experienced political writers in the world There will be David Lawrence of the United States Daily; Charles Nicholson of the New York World, Charles Ross of the St. Louis Post Dispatch and others
 These men, experienced in the ways and wiles of politicians. will be able to give their radio audience real picture of one of the big gest shows in American life-a national eonven- tion of great political party. Through the mikes the listeners in come into fairly close contact with the colorful and high enthus- iasm that come with the selecting of standard bearers and the declaration of principles or which the party will base it's fight for control of the national government for four years from March 1929 to March 1893.

ST. LOUIS WRESTLING WITH EXTEN
 SION OF LIMITS.

St. Louis is preparing again to submit to the voters the question of including all of St. Louis County within the limits of the City of St. Louis. The proposal has been voted down sev- era times by the suburban towns, who contend that it would deprive them of local self-govern- ment and cause increase of taxes The last time the consolidated plan of the Chamber of Commerce. defeated was in October 1926.
 The Chamber of Commerce has decided to summon from the Nation at large a body Of experts to prepare and submit plan of con solidation, and report upon it, setting forth why there ought or ought not to be consolida- tion. That done in Berlin. Pittsburgh and Detroit and the argument was so strong for con- solidation that it carried in all three cities
 The leaders in both the City of St. Louis and St. Louis County favor consolidation, and contend that the advantages that would accrue to the County would more than offset the higher taxes if any. The extension of the City limits would give St Louis City area of 553 square miles comparable with 61 at present, and would greatly increase the ctys population and add to it's prestige

More or Less True

More or Less True The reason a woman serves her husband the things that are good for him instead of the things he likes is because it is easier to listen to his kicking at the table than to be walked up in the mid dle of the night with his groan ings and have to get him the bi- carbonate of soda, the hot water bottle and paregoric and persuade him he's not sick enough to need a doctor.
 It isn't necessary for girls to wear skirts any shorter-they show all that's left to show when they sit down.
 The reason some families ara not better off is because they can't get on.
