EASTERN CONSERVATIONIST ON
 ALERT

Fearful that the Public Lands Commission, which meets in Washington next month, will advocate returning to the States all that remains of the public domain, Eastern conservationists are begin ming a campaign of opposition to the transfer The Cincinnati Enquirer recently stated the position the opposition is almost certain to take on this ques- tion
 The heart of the Eastern conservationst con- tention is in the declaration This wealth belongs to the country, not to the individual States" As the Enquirer correctly points out: Public lands exist only in few States-in the West" To this can be added the unapproprated public domain in Alaska which comprises about 98 per cent of it's vast area
 The East therefore is not coming into court on the issue disnterested party. Eastern States have public lands of any note. Bong ago, in the evolution of the nation and it's prosperous de- velopment they passed into the hands of private ownership. Its forests cut down to furnish building materials for the millions of people who populated it's cities and villages settled on the logged-off land to cultivate it to best advantage. Its coal passed into private ownership to be dug out of it's underground beds and fed ino the maws of evergrowing industry with widespread rami- fications. Its oil went to the same route And all of this exploitation formed the basis of the unpre- cedented development which has raised the Eastern half of the nation to the peak of industrial and financial greatness And the East was privileged to utilize all of these resources without let or hindrance, each State for itself without interfer- ence from it's neighbors the Federal authority.
 Having passed them into private ownership, and reaped the rich rewards of that transfer they now seek to step forward and say to the less developed West, What had kept to ourselves and grew great thereby; what you have belongs to all of us as much you that we may thereby grow even greater" There is neither logic nor justice in such an argument. No such philosophy was ever held by the founders of the Republic. It is a product of a later school of pseudoscientists, d- ettantes in government and it's uses and pur- poses
 The West, under all the precedents which were set in the East to it's everlasting benefit is the real owner not only of the surface of it's public domain, but of every resource under or on the surface It is right in denouncing the proposal to return the surface rights half gift" It is equally within it's rights to demand that all of 1t should be restored to State control Statesmanshp is not lacking in the West The East need have no fear that the Western States if successful in their quest for restoration of their resources which are now held without justification by the Federal Government will dssipate them in riotous and waste fu exploitation

DEATH REMOVES LEADER OF OLD
 TYPE

In the death of Lee Slater Overman, junior Senator from North Carolina, the United States Senate lost one of its oldest members in point of service though he was still the junior Senator from his State Had he served until the end of his term, or even until after March 4 he would have become the senior since his colleague, Senator ?. NJ Simmons was defeated for reelection last Mo- vember The latter was elected in 1901.
 Senator Overman first made his appearance in North Carolina politics in 1883 when he elected in 1887 1893 and 1900 In 1895 he was the Demo- cratic caucus candidate for United States Senator but a combination of Republican and Populist .n- terests brought about his defeat He finally successful in 1903 and for 27 years served his State and the Nation with increasing power and prestige, and growing influence as his experience brought him wider knowledge. His background of the od-fashioned conservative type of Southern Democ- racy. He true to it's traditions and principles, and he maintained his position of leadership to the end He was one of the last of his type in the Senate He fought radicalism in all it's appearances He led his constituents, representing them he be- lieved was for their best interests and for the vel fare of the country at large His counsel, friendly interest and solid understanding will be missed not only by his party to which he was ever loyal, but by the entire Senate
 It is significant of the political status in North Carolina that his successor, appointed by Gov. O. Max Gardner Cameron Morrison, was of the leaders in the AT Smith Presidential campaign in the State in 1928. And he at the head of the campaign last Fall which elected Josiah w Bailey to replace Senator Simmons. This appointment demonstrates the completeness of Smmonss elim-

CRUCIFYING THE SPIRIT OF
 CHRISTMAS.

In the crucifixation of the Spirit of Christmas staged in New York theatre by the Young Com munists of that city significant illustration of how far at variance is their philosophy from the code of life which actuates the American peo- pie, and most of the other nationalities of the world. There in the midst of great city in which hundreds of thousands of men, and children, involuntarily idle, out of funds, being cared for not only on Christmas Day but every day in the week by others in more fortunate circum- stances, they offer ridicule instead of sympathy mock trial and mimic execution portraying the ignomnious death of the spirit of charity, happi- ness and love. What the Young Communists did is not important in itself but as a symbol of their code it has a lesson for us all.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH

BY DR.. Louis E. Bisch-
Everybody seeks happiness
and rightly so.
We are all entitled to happi-
ness. Certainly we are not on
this earth merely to slave and
be miserable.
Yet many persons who are
looking for happiness. do not
know where to find it.
And, indeed, often those who
are wanting it most could find
it readily enough if they knew
how.
To be sure, different value in
life make different people happy.
Jewels and pretty clothes
make women happy as a rule,
but even as to that there are
exceptions.
It is generally believed that
wealth brings happiness.
That is, those who lack
wealth think so.
And yet. wealthy people often
claim that their unhapiness
started when the gold began to
pour into their Golfers. They
often say that before riches
came they felt content with the
simple pleasuresaof life but that
now, wealth with it's new re-
sponsibilit les, has created
anxiety and fear.
A good job we'll done yields
happiness. There are no ex-
ceptions to that rule.
To give happiness to others
gives happiness to yourself. At
least, most pepole are conSti'
tuted that way.
Achieving ones ambition in
life often brings a feeling of
satisfaction that amounts to
happiness. In such a case, how.
ever, one is likely to approach
the goal set for oneself SO grad.
ually that one does not mark
happiness as beginning at any
particular time.
Music can make people happy.
The right kind of music for the
mood Of the moment is almost
sure-fire.
Works of art of all kinds will
make those people happy who
know how to appreciate the
beautiful.
Books offer an unlimited sup.
ply of happiness. Unfortunately,
the average person does not
read books half enough.
Love, despite its poignancies
may produce exquisite happl.
ness.
