 I believe in giving credit where credit is due and don't mind hand ing it to Lieut.. Byrd who flew over the North Pole.
 But what folks n general don't know ie that when Moses led tho Hebrews out of Egypt, he traversed through the wastes of the frozen North. and though history doesn't say 80. there are many who believe that Moses discovered the North Pole.
 They base their belief on this:
 During the course of the Hebrews forty years wandering it can be readily believed that they saw many strange lands and many strange people.
 During the recent excavations in the Holy Land the. following page of someone's diary was dug up:
 And it came to pass that after months wandering we entered a strange land. The inhabitants there- of spoke a strange tongue and their customs and mode of dress were ex- tremely foreign from those of the other lands we had passed through.
 And Aaron, the brother of concerning them and calling to his Moses, waxed exceedingly curious brother. spake. 'Esk 'cm Moe who they arc.'
 And Moses left the presence of his brother and approached a na- tive. Aaron shouted unto him. 'Esk 'em Moe. The native became fright ened and fled.
 "Moses approached another native and again Aaron shouted, 'Esk 'em Moe and this native also fled. None could be found who could talk and from Aaron's words to Moses. we called the natives 'Esk 'em Moes.'
 That name has stuck to them through the ages and during the course of time the spelling has been corrupted to Esquimaux.

,sion is . necessity to pass the kind of tariff legislation he would like to see passed. ThtA in eject. would be a sort Of embargo against ali foreign goods.
 Mir. Grundy is potent tycoon in Republican ranks because of his ability to shake down the shekels in political 'campsisns. 1tsis written that he suppateds s1eo,oo; in cash flor. the Coolidge campaign of 1924; that he put s615.oQo behind the campaign of Goverh6r Fisher sY'Peansylvaniaa atn the primary; qaNpaign ef lsss, when s1.0o0,od6 Was expended: that he landed s547.o0o for the Hoover campaign, iR. 1898. \ financial poten- tate like this naturally cannot be ignored. He knows what he wants and how to get it. For instance. when it vas question Of getting behind Governor Fisher, the primary issue to Mr. Grundy and his colleagues was that MT. Fisher promise to veto any attempt to tax Pennsylvania corporations, now tax free. This he bluntly told the investigating conn mittee Of Senator Reed in 1926.
 There is some sense left in Con- gress and . large number of Re- publicans seem disinclined to go the entire distance with MT. Grundy in his super-tariff seheme, They think it would lead to political embarrass- ment later. There is such thing as being a hog, according to the con- servativs tariff believers, and no eoed comes from overeating tariff blanks.
 Nr. Grundy himself 10 a worsted manufacturer. His industry has en- joyed q lively tariff rate and still the textile business is far from super prosperous. He thinks more and more tariff would make it prosper GUS, refusing to believe that because women wear so much less than formerly has any bearing on busi- Hess.
 It is likely that the super-tariff idea will win the battle. MT. Hoover is said to be dubious, but if an arous- ed Congress passes such . bill it Is unlikely that he would establish an amazing precedence for q Republican president and veto the tariff bill. Mir. Grundy naturally does not bother with such insignificant worthies as the House ways and means com- mittee. where tariff hearings are in progress. His measures will come in the Senate finance committee, where Senator smoot is the potent gen- eralisstm0. And Senator Shoot is good friend, the champion super- tariff marshal in Washington.
 There was talk in the last cam- paign that the tariff is the super-is- sue. II the GruHdy system prevails 1t is likely to be tho super-issue in many . ampaign to come, for that sort of thing never takes it out of politics.

M'NCTT AND AMERICANISM

The visit of Paul V. McNutt to onnecticut-including this city not only gave to members of the American Legion an opportunity to become better acquainted with their national commander but also yielded an opportunity to the public to dis cover what type of leader stands at the head of the service men's organi- zation.
 Commander McNutt not only proved himself to be speaker of merit and of ideas. but he has ideas. American citizenship to this man is more than 8 pious phrase; 1t means the performance of duties that gre frequently overlooked by even those who masquerade as the highest type of citizens. His attitude toward pub lie issues is sound although such . statement does not necessarily mean an acceptance of evefy belief he finds it necessary to advocats. In his conception of Americ9p ideals he stands somewhat in tho same rostrum with Theodore Roosevelt. Teddy" exemplified . virile. up- standing Amcrican4m; % does Con- mander McNutt.
 What could have been more to the point than the statement that those who come from abroad to share in our destiny must do % wholeheart- edly; must be willing to become Americans. and think and act like Americans; that they must have no divided allegiance; that they cannot give lip service to the United States and the service of the heart to some nation overseas. Those who do net take this type of Americanism seri- ously, MT. McNutt Elowingiy declar- ed. can go back home and 70 far as the American Legion is concerned it would be willing to show them the way to the ports and the ships. With such sentiments there are no two sides

COAL AND INDUSTRY

The civilized world has been read ing lately how the Prince of Wales visited the coal districts and was struck by the want, poverty and suf- fering among men and their fami- ltes. somsthing needs to be done. eptned the prince. but he feared it could not be done quickly. There are too many men involved in the pr0b- lem and no one has yet brought for ward . workable plan to shift the workers into some other industry in England: indeed. no other industry in the land requires their services at this time, and they are not trained for anything else but coal mining in the first place.
 Coal production the world over is faced with somewhat of a similar problem. There were those a decade ago who claimed that in 1000 years there would be no more coal on earth to mine: but by now, perhaps, these pessimists have at least doubled or trebled their estimates of the time required to annihilate the visible supply. In other words, less coal is being utilized.
 Ocean steamships are going in for oil: oil burning appliances are be- ing placed into buildings: electricity manufactured from water falls and from artificial dams is steadily in- creasing its ompetition with coal. The sorrow that overspread the princes face when he left the mining districts was genuine tribute to the grit and determination of the hun dreds of thousands of miners who are forced to eke out an existence by working only a few days a week. But even in other basic industries in England conditions are bad. The prince shook hands with 50 men at one steel town who have been with out work for eight years. They were able and willing to work. but where is it?
 ManifestIy. England has reached the point here it is industrially over- populated. When the industrial revo- lution was born it set out with the intention of being the worlds indus trial shop. Up to that time 1t raia- Ted enough food to feed all if not most of it's population. and a large proportion of it's people were aEri. cultural. From then on, however, the trial centers to share in the new farm laborers fIocked to the indus riches For approximately 100 years these lasted. and now the setback England now lacks the farm work. erG she must import most of her food, and she has an overplus of in- dusSfial laborers.
