MILFORD, FRIDAY, JUNE 21, 1929
yOUR SUMMER JOURNEYNGS

Summer is a happy time for mil
lions of people, as it is their one
period of outings when they see
bit Of the country. Philosophers
watching all this movement, say that
the American people are terribly
restless, and are constantly rushing
around somewhere, never content
where they are, when the real
sources of contentment are right at
home.
But this desire to see something
of the world is extremely natural,
and within reasonable limits helps
people to grow in intelligence. They
come home with ideas about how
things are done in different places.
Ambition is stimulated. They meet
people who give them new ideas,
and they get over some of their
narrow prejudices.
If these summer journeyings
bring us home discontented to such
a place as Milford they have done
us no good. We have simply got an
infection of restlessness, which we
will need to get over before we
shall accomplish any large results.
But if we return with the feeling
that the old home burg is the best
place after all, the trip has done us
good and we are better fitted for
success in our occupations.
People naturally feel happy on
such trips, full of fun, and they
overflow with merriment. But it is
we'll to keep the learning spirit too.
We do we'll to talk with the people
we meet, find out about work and
business and social customs in the
places we visit, and how they ac-
complish the good features of their
respective towns. Business men
often get ideas on these trips, that
help them promote new plans. The
man or woman who works for wages
can often see how his kind of work
is done somewhere else, and bring
home improved methods that will
advance his position. We can all
learn much if we will.

THE MUSIC CLUBS

One thousand delegates of the
National Federation of Music Clubs
have just met in convention in Bos-
ton. One of the features of the oc-
casion was a service in honor OF
Lowell Mason, famous American
musician of former days, whose
tunes are usually found in the
hymn books used in the churches.
The American people are natural
music lovers, and they are pro-
foundly influenced by music. They
have fought great battles under the
inspiration of stirring marches,
their melancholy thoughts are driv-
en- away by bright dance music,
their hearts are lifted to new heights
by the power of classical themes.
Wherever the music lovers have
formed. a club represented in this
federation, they have made life
sweeter. No town is too busy or
too large or too small to have a
good music club, to encourage its
people to develop this form of tai
ent.
THE MONTH OF WEDDINGS
June is traditionally the favorite
month to get married in. The bride
who is looking for an ideal time
naturally picks this month of bloom,
when earth's fairest blossoms can
be used for decorating. An event
so full of sweetness is held to de-
serve the loveliest setting that ma
ture can provide.
The community views with SYM
pathy the happiness of these young
couples, and regards marriage as a
normal step for them. For those
who have married too hastily, little
congratulation can be offered. For
those who wed because they have
reason to be sure that true affinity
exists, the world feels they will add
to the power of both of them to ac-
complish useful things.
These sentimental longings are
deeply imbedded in human nature,
to remain there always. Every mar
riage should be the beginning of a
happy home, and if approached in
the right spirit, it will be.

SOME EDITORIAL
OPINIONS
RESISTANCE TO THE MAJORITY

Less than eight months ago Her
bert Hoover was elected President
by an overwhelming plurality. His
election represented a vote of con-
fidence in his leadership, and
popular mandate for the program
he stood for.
Yet within four months of Presi-
dent Hoover's Inauguration we find
a tremendous resistance developed
on Capitol Hill-especially in the
Senate of the United States-to the
carrying out of his program, and an
organized effort to resist and dis
credit his leadership; an effort to
render barren of results the session
of Congress called for the purpose
of fulfilling the pledges of the ma
jority party to the voters.
At the bottom of this resistance is
studied defiance of public opinion
as expressed at the last general
election. 1t is a deliberate flouting
of the will of the American people,
clearly expressed at the polls.
1t is true that the executive de-
partment of the government is not
the legislative department. But the
President is made partner in leg
islation through the veto power. 1t
was well known by the Senators
who thrust the debenture provision
into the farm relief bill that in so
doing they were deadlocking the
Senate with the House of Represen-
tatives and with the President. They
very well knew that the adoption of
this amendment meant the delay or
defeat of farm relief. The proposal
was a new one not discussed by
anyone in the last campaign. 1t is
certain that some members of the
Senate adopted this policy of oppo-
sition merely to embarrass the
President and the administration.
1t was Senator Copeland of New
York who frankly admitted that he
"held his nose" as he voted for a
proposal he believed would put
President Hoover "in the hole"
Putting Presidents Gin the hole"
may be a safe policy when that
President does not have public opin-
ion behind him. The people are still
with President Hoover, however,
and those who are busy batting the
President are at the same time bait
ing that public opinion which makes
and unmakes Senators as well as
Presidents.
1t is unfortunate that at this time
we cannot have cooperation between
the Senate and the President for the
general good of the country. The
fault for that lack of team work
clearly rests, however, not with the
President, but with a partisan and
factional coalition in the Senate. 1t
is about time that statesmen, no
matter what labels they wear, should
cooperate to solve public problems,
rather than to spectacularly perform
for factional, personal and partisan
advantage.

THE GRADUATION SCENE

Graduating exercises of schools
and colleges are many sided affairs.
They have a fine scholastic atmos-
phere, and remind the public that it
pays to study the worlds wisdom
and acquire skill in using the tools
of daily life. Gifted educators ad-
dress the public, and lift the minds
of every day people to a considera-
ton of the forces that promote
sound learning and the spread of
useful knowledge.
Then there is the gaiety of these
closing functions. The young folks,
released from the grind of study,
break loose in unlimited enthusiasm
and the school songs ring through
the campuses, until every older per-
son secretly longs to be back in the
ranks of this ardent youth.
The whole scene is a picture, with
June's flowers and green leaves in
the background, and the girls IN
their dainty dresses. The bright
faces of all this hopeful youth make
a picture such as no artist can re-
produce.
There is something very contag-
ious in the outlook of these young
people. They face the world with
firm conviction that they are going
to do large things. Something OF
this faith communicates itself to
those who observe them, and all
turn away from these gatherings
with a feeling that the things that
we want to do, we can do.
The whole program is a demon
stration of what education does for
young people. Essays and address,
es and poems may have elements of
yet they show a far
greater ripeness of thought than
people generally expect, and indi-
cate that these young folks have
learned something more than the
surface aspect of things. The par
ents who have brought up these
roung people, and the institutions
hat have shaped them, can well be
,roud of the finished product.
Milford chronicle., 1929-06-21
THE WORLD AT ITS FINEST

Perhaps the strongest impression
that one gets from the month of
June is the beauty of the world.
Almost all aspects of nature have
their charm and loveliness. If you
dwell in a finished locality, the well
tended fields and the orderly farms
have "a message of cultured charm.
If you live in a wilderness or a
desert, even there the earth is good
to the eyes.
It is a bit of a mystery, why all
the forms and colors of nature are
so pleasing to the human eye, but
something in our minds and pow
ers of vision looks with delight at
green fields and trees and gay flow
ers, and the majesty of hills and
mountains and sea, and says that it
is all very good. 1t is one proof
that love underlies all creation, and
that the ruling power means hap
piness for his creatures.

JUST CAUSE FOR COMPLAINT

The constant knocking which
some people resort to in regard to
conditions in their home towns,
casts a blanket of depression over
any community. But threre are al
ways some things that give just
cause for complaint.

JULY FOURTH MISCHIEF


1t is somewhat hard to draw the
line between a harmless frolic on
July Fourth and the night before,
and mischief making and disturb
ance that goes beyond the limit of
reason. In years past, when so
many people were hurt by this cele-
bration, and when so many disas-
trous fires were set, the celebration
was very peculiar exhibit Of patE
riotism.
1t was about time, if we could
not notice our national birthday
without injuring a lot of children
and burning up a vast total of prop
erty, to teach some of the celebrat-
ors to exercise a little judgment.

NEW YORK, July 20 Q.N.S.).--
Lower prices for stocks, grain and
cotton at the start Of the new week
reflected chiefly Wall Streets
nervousness over money supplies.
Reserve banks have been doing
nothing to help the situation and
calls for funds from the local banks
have been increasing.
With few exceptions stock prices
dropped In q slow market, with
stock sales in the first half hour

financial district thick with rumors
about stocks being passed from

was no particular weakness in the
action OF favorite stocks today. A
drop of q point or two generally
meant the gobblfng up of stocks
by bargain-hunters who have been
on hand in increasing numbers

was quoted today as saying that he
looks for no let.down in the demand
for steel in the second half of the

the financial district.
Recoveries in other sections OF

June Exports Drop

The index of the exports OF agri.
cultural products from the United
States during June is placed at So,
which, with the exception of July,
1928. was lower than for any other
month since 1925, and with one ex.
ceptlon lower than for any June
during the past Is years, according
to the Department of Agriculture
yesterday.
The low cotton index accounted
for the major portion of the decline.
The decrease in exports of grains,
especially wheat. was also an i'm
portant factor. For all commodities
except cotton the index was 102. or
among the four lowest fndices on
record.
Except for August. 1928, the In.
dex for cotton was lower than for
any month since July, 1926. All
European countries, as well as
Japan. took less cotton than during
June a year ago, but total exports
for the II months. August.June,
192s-1929, are still about 9 per cent
over those of the corresponding
months of 1927-192s, Wheat, in

provement over June Of last year,
but with that exception was lower
than for any corresponding month
for the last Is years.

COMMERCE IN
ASIA
BY B. G. FORBES

The commerce borne by the
Pacific Ocean viii one day pass
the Atlantic's; but how can the
arrival Of that day De hastened2
How can the Orient be shaken
out Of her European trading ruta
ana be convinced that America
has more to offer her?
How can the Panama Canal
route be made to eclipse the Suez
Canal?
A personal friend, r. J. Cromie.
publisher OF the Vancouver B. C.l
sun, has just returned from =
the Far East.
Cromie's enthusiasm over the
possibilities matches that Of
Robert Dollar, the veteran steam-
ship and lumber grand old man
OF the Pacific, who Is as well
known in China as in the United
States and who has done much to
develop commercial relations with
the Orient.
Cromie, in common with Dollar,
reallzeH CnaC lnerS are oDSIaGls8
and inertia and traditions and
precedents and habits to overcome.
But they can be overcome, he EN-.
phatically declares, IL sufficient
well-directed effort be expended.
The trade of the United States
with Asia and oceania has in
creased $50 per cent since the
world war began. Whereas our
total exports to them averaged
only S16s, ZOO, 900 during 1904.
they totaled $s33. 700 900 last year.
while our imports from Asia and
Oceania during the same period
jumped from $275, 100000 to 81
222, 200, 900.
Says Mr.. Cromie:
''The great world event In trade
Of the next few years viii be the
growth and swing Of Asia's trade
away from Europe across the
Pacific to America. Asia's trade
really belongs to America"
Don't forget, however, that things
don't just happen, they have to b
made to happen.
