THE HONEYMOONERS

After the solemnities and flowers
and frolics of the June weddings,
come the roseate honeymoons, and
the newly married couples are spot
ted at hotels and resorts. Their
soulful looks, the intensity with
which they seek to read each others
thoughts, reveal their true status.
They may try to act like old mar
ried couples, but that is about as
easy as for a boy to look at the
trees and the birds while the ball
game has three men on bases.
Sentiment can not forever keep up
so high. There has to be a descent
from the clouds. The same old
problems will soon bother them, and
they will have some new ones also.
The income won't be so largely rela-
lively, and sometimes the mullins
will be raw or burned.
If they both imagine they can
have their own way as they formerly
could, the almanac's predictions of
tunder and lightning in July will
be verified. But if they will bear and
forbear, life will be sweeter than
ever before.

THE WATCHWORD OF COOPER
ALTON

Probably the favorite watchword
of today in the business world is
"co-Operation." 1t is the method by
which the economists are hoping to
solve the problems of the farming
population. They are teaching the
agriculturists that they will not get
anywhere until they combinene their
forces and work together.
The business world has been
shaped over to the cooperative
idea. The big business concerns
that used to fight each other, have
learned that they accomplish much
more to cooperate. So they agree
on joint policies beneficial to the
whole trade.
Labor has learned to cooperate.
The powerful labor union movement
is an example. Even labor and cap
ital, once hostile, cooperate to a
large extent, and both profit.
One field where for a long time
there was not much cooperation,
was that of retail trade. Competi-
tors often would not speak to each
other. Now they get together in
favor of policies that will help the
whole trading center, and they all
gain by the union.
To make the Gil Gle of co operation
necessary, and that is between the
citizens of a community and the
business men. Frequently they work
at cross purposes. But to enable a
community to develop and enlarge
it's resources and advantages, it
needs a growing retail trade, as a
kind of backbone and foundation
which holds up the activities Of the
community. To create that trade
and keep it in a state of develop
ment, the citizens of the town and
vicinity, need to cooperate by spend
ing their money at home. Where
they have acquired that habit and
make it a matter of principle. then
a sound foundation for enlarged re-
sources and facilities has been Gre
ated.

CORN BELT FAVORED
BY NEW TARIFF BILL

"Mr. Speaker, the district l repre-
sent is an area of the best part of
the American Corn Belt which is
the best part of the world. We have
sent no Outcry as from sinking
craft. We have only demanded as
long oars as the experienced boat
men have, and we will do the rest.
This bill gives us that. We will
pull through. We are willing that a
little lifesaving be done for others.
Yes; we are willing to help.
Nebraska is the most exclusive
agricultural state in the Union. If
this bill favors agriculture, it will
favor Nebraska. With its passage
practically every product of the
Corn Belt will be protected. AS two
thirds of the articles we buy are on
the free list and we sell more pro-
tected articles than we buy, pro-
tected and free combined, we have
had an advantage in that respect for
years. Our sole handicap has been
our farm tariff rates being lower
than those of industry. That dis
parity has been removed by the
bill. The solemn
pledge made by the Kansas City con-
and restated by President
Hoover is being grandly redeemed"
Representative Sloan of Nebraska.

WHAT is PATRIOTISM?

The nations girthday on July 4th
reminds our people once again, of
their duty to manifest patriotic SEN
timent. So they hang out their flags,
shoot off their fireworks and fire
crackers, and have a good time. But
how far are such doings patriotic?
Do they leave the country any more
patriotic on July 5th than it was on
July 3rd? To listen to some citi-
zens, weary of noise and fearful of
danger from accidents and fires, they
are less patriotic than they were
before.
The dictionary defines a patriot,
as one who loves his country and
zealously supports it's authority and
interests. That is a searching def
nition 1t is to be feared that many
flag wavers, who talk volulbly about
their patriotic feeling, are failing to
comply with that standard.
To be patriot, one must be will
ing to give up his own concerns and
interests when necessary for the
good of the country. In time of war
that may call for military service on
the part of those able to give it. 1t
demands cheerful payment of the
heavy costs of war by all our people.
But patriotism is just as much
needed in peace as in war. In time
OF war, when the nation is reused by
the sense of danger, it is easy to feel
patriotic, and to be willing to do
patriotic things. But when the peril
has passed, and people sink back
into absorption in their own selfish
interests. it is a difficult feeling to
arouse
In time of peace, patriotism calls
for active work in support Of good
A person who fails to
vote at primaries and elections, and
to use his best intelligence and to
make an effort to inform himself as
to how he should vote, has not con-
formed to the definition of patriot
ism that the dictionary gives us.

A TRIBuTE TO HEROISM

One of the most enthusiastic well
comes ever given to anyone was that
accorded to Admiral Richard E
Byrd and his heroic crew when they
returned to New York. The admira-
tion expressed by this great throng
of welcomers throws light on human
nature and the kind of thing that
pleases the people the most.
The enthusiasm for the conqueror
of the poles is largely due to his he
roism, plus admiration for his very
great skill and power as a leader.
The people do admire courage more
than almost any other gift. 1t seems
to count almost more than service to
humanity. Since we all want to be
courageous, but most of us do not
get very far along that line, people
admire those who have that quality
in such superlative degree as this
man of the icy SHOWS and his follow

our choice of all the qualities and
gifts that the gods could give us, that
is the one we should choose above
all others.
1t should not be forgotten also
that the Byrd expedition was more
than a mere display of physical
courage. 1t was an enterprise of
scientific investigation, the results of
which will be more profound than
they seem on the surface. The men
who carry through such an under
taking are to be honored as among
the foremost of the worlds pion-
GERS.
The majority of the worlds great
est scientific Investigators have had
to do their work without much pop
ular applause or money reward. The
full recognition of their achievement
has not usually come until after they
were gone. 1t is satisfactory that
the men of the Byrd expedition OBJ
tain recognition and arouse admira-
ton at once. 1t could be wished
that more of the men who have en-
larged the worlds knowledge could
thus find equally ready appreciation.

DOES THE REYNOLDS TOBACCO
co. EMPLOY ONLY CATHOLICS!

There is absolutely no foundation
of truth to such a rumor," the r. j.
Reynolds Tobacco Co., of Winston
Salem, N. c., advises The Pathfinder,
adding: "In strong Catholic COM
munities this rumor has been re-
versed and by that we mean it is
stated that we are discriminating
against all Catholics. Our investi-
cations in the past have proved that
these rumors, like many others, in
Guiding one about our well-paid la
Dor, are nothing more than malicious
slander. No employee, from the eX-
ecutive officer to the most unskilled
laborer, is measured by any other
standard than merit, and no one of
them has ever been favored or dis
criminated against in the slightest
degree because of his political, re-
ligious or fraternal affiliations. =

GIVEN TWO OATHS

Owen Josephus Roberts was given
two oaths in being inducted into Of
flee as associate justice of the Su-
preme Court, to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Justice San

Here members of the court don
their traditional silk robes and be-
gin their procession across the cor
ridOr to the Supreme Court chamber
The march is only a few feet, but
what it lacks in distance it makes
up in dignity. For several minutes
all traffic through this section Of the
corridor is held up. The justices
walk in a stately manner between
crimson velvet ropes stretched by
attendants for the purpose, the JUS
tees position in line beinng deter
mined by seniority.
The rObing room was once the
vice-president's room. Moreover, that
portion of the corridor through
which the justices march was form
erly shut off by mahogany doors to
form a room in which the president
could sign bills and transact other
business in his few appearances at
the Capitol.
The walls of the anterOOm to the
robing room proper are lined with
large cabinets, with glass doors
which raise as windows, in which
hangs the gowns of the justices just
