when questioned farther he stated
and the loss had caused his heart to
stop, we have often wondered how
the preacher kept some of the things
out of his sermons that he heard
here. In fact we know he used
some of the material. OF course it
was disguised. Dan wasn't dead at
all, but we are most sure the reason
why was that he hadn't lost the
button.
Perhaps you want to know about
our preacher character. He wasn't
character. Though there was no
acting with him, his actions made
you think of the sun. Anyway he
rose earlier in summer than in win
ter. He always remembered the
Sabbath day to keep it, etc. He was
wise enough to stop at the filling
station on Sunday morning whether
he needed any gas or not, as the
boys always sent their Offering for
whatever the collection was for. On
big days, many of the good men of
the village went out to the old
country church to hear the preacher.
The lawyers who frequented Ben's
place knew much about their cases
before they had heard the testimony.
Many of us who had our names on
Ben's list, were never called for
jury service We could not have
come close to qualifying, and these
lawyers knew it.
A man had to go TO hospital for
ed to take him in an auto. Ben
took him. Many a good Christian
man would have been glad to have
taken him, but Ben was too quick
for them, and had gone before most
of our good folks were wise to the
fact that they wanted anyone to go.
Ben had a sister who passed Ben S
place about four times day. She
always looked in and smiled and
went in and talked awhile when she
thought it necessary-when she
thought Ben needed encouragement.
Men who transacted business at
| Ben's place never forgot the place,
neither did Ben forget them. Ii

was transferred, and the men had
won a place in the preachers heart
/ to the extent that he tried for years
! to get weaned away from the com
munity, but all the time he was say
ing in his heart, when he retired
! from active service he would come
back to the old town that had been

The years rolled on; the lawyer
was called to his reward, and many
of the officials and laymen had been

white, his heart was light, and new

only increased the number of his

When his anger and his exhausted he released
another snake used and the process goes on On the
following day the angry snake has developed more poison
That again. taken from him. And thus goes the snake
fooshy imagining that he is getting some enemy
by putting poison into the enemy whereas in reality he is
helping accumulate snake poison which is used an
antidote to those bitten by poisonous reptiles
When you this picture you think how pleasing would
be this method could be applied to gigantic poisonous
reptile, labeled Prohibition Crime"
extract of crime only could be made to heal what that
crime has injured and the Of organized crime could
be extracted simply this and made harmless what good
thing for civilization.
Unfortunately what do with snakes cannot do with
criminals They spread their poison killings bootleg alcohol
bribery and corruption that reach the bench.
Prohibition that advertised the "1mprover Of
morals" force that would "empty prisons" etc., has
actually produced crime scale hitherto unknown, has
made necessary to build prisons and has crowded the
old prisons.
Where will the nation find somebody that grasp organ
zed crime suly and effectively the hand in this pic
ture grasps the poisonous reptile?

Street Cars and Cabs

Now that the Public Utilities Commission has taken vgor
step the direction of regulation and control Of taxicabs
remains for the and bus companies Of the city to
carry the program for Improvement of their service which
they said have been holding allegiance because of the
hectic cab situation.
It was the street car companies which were largely nstru
mental in forcing action by the commission While the
mission celebrating they let it be known that they were
contemplating several changes in their service designed to at
tract additional patronage and that they would put these into
effect if the taxis were brought under control
the companies had program which would have improved
ther business there have been little why
program could have been put into effect meet taxcab
competition before the commission acted Now that the
mission has issued cab order further delay ndefenbe
Washngonans want their companies to make
fair profit. They also want their taxi service.
The next step is up to the street companies.

An $8,OOO,OOO Spurt

Banks of the city preparing to distribute approximately
$000000 and persons will in turn spend this money
with merchants and business Of Washington.
The funds represent the accumuations in special Christmas
savings accounts and testimonial to the thrift and fore
sight of Washngtonians. .........
Released general trade within the few weeks the
money will prove stimulus to all kinds of business It's wise
expenditure may we'll mark general turning from the pes
smism which unfortunately have seized upon
Of people, though they personally have been well
fortified with cash.
Placed in the banks originally special fund for the
purchase of Christmas gifts the money has been found
used for variety of purposes Old bills paid improve
ents financed and usually portion Of the money goes
back into the banks to start accounts for next year.
An interesting commentary the financial status of Wash
ngton families is given by figures compiled in connection
with these accounts The figures show that while the
Christmas savings for the country amounts to $62
here the figure considerably higher being about $50.

of that which should be our
loveliest mystery and blessing.
And then Death comes. E.
and takes that loved one. And
we cry out in shock and hor-
ror at our loss. Why should
we be robbed? Why should
God take from us our dearest
possession? How can we go on
living, with our loved one
gone?
But that one who has gone
was not our dearest possession.
We had no right to regard
him as a possession. or to
build ourselves around him.
He was only loaned" We
were blessed far beyond our
desserts to have had such a
loan even for a day. How in
comparably sweeter that day
might have been if we had
treated love as a mystery!
If we had only respected its
strangeness-had rejoiced in its
rarity, instead of trying to own
it.

In the safety of the apane Of transportation is

You have had a cut in income
and someone has suggested that
you figure out what percentage
that is and cut expenses accord
ingly.
At first it seems a pretty good
idea.
Then it occurs to you that
there are certain expenses that
you can't cut-such as school
tuition.
Education can't be cut in JUS
tice to the children.
Taxes and life insurance can't
be cut without loss greater in
the end.

tenderness, romance, sex-attrac-

But, you never know the
QUANTITIES of the ingredi-
ents. You can't tell which is
the dominating emotion-in
your own love or in anybody
The truth is that love is diff

and in every human heart. No
two people are speaking of the
same emotion, when they speak
of love.

bly, remain Republican. That
is because by constitutional
prohibition there is no demo-
cratic form of government
in New York.
The Poison Pens
Are Busy
At heart, dismayed by the
smashing rebuke to the Hoo
yer Administration, the en-
emies of the Democrats
party instantly have started
their propaganda with the
view to dividing Democrats
on the verge of a Presi-
dental victory.
This plan has worked
beautifully during the last
seven years. 1t has deprived
the Democrats Of the Presi-
dency twice. Thus the poison
pens are busy now telling us
Of a factional fight in New
York, because, with his
usual independence of judg-
ment, Al Smith, opposed
both by the Democratic and
Re p u b lican organizations,
urged the defeat of a con-
stitutional amendment which
happened to be favored by
Governor Roosevelt.
The purpose is to get the
friends of the two leaders
tearing at each others
throats, and thus make pos
sible what is not now posi-
BILE, the placing of the elec-
toral vote of New York in
the Republican column 70
Hoover in 1892.
Thus, too, the very day
after the election the propa-
gandists do their bit by send
ing out from Washington
the story of Democrats in
the House fighting for the
amusement and in the in.
terest Of the enemy over the
various chairmanships. The
purpose is to array the
North against the South-to
create idiotic factional dis
turbances within the ranks
of the conquering hosts on
the verge Of the supreme
engagement of 1882.
In the light of the returns
from the elections this week
it is plain as a pikestaff
that the one and only hope
for the reelection of MIR.
Hoover lies in the success Of
the Republicans in persuad'
ing the Democrats to stop
fighting the Hoover Admin
istration and turn upon one
another.
The Washington times., 1931-11-09

The Hoover Administra-
ton circles have been
crowded with Pollyannas
during the last three years,
but Senator Fess has made
himself the king-bee with a
post-election statement that
surpasses in effrontry any
thing we have ever seen. He
is delighted that the cleo
tions in Jersey. New York,
Michigan and Kentucky
have shown that there is no
resentment against the Ad-
ministration.
True, in Michigan a CON
gressional district hopelessly
Republican for 35 years has
been carried by a Democrat;
true, New Jersey has been
carried by the Democrats by
the greatest majority in his
tory; true Kentucky has
gone hell-bent for the Demo-
Gratis; true New York has
had a clean sweep, insofar
as it is Constitutional to per-
nit the majority to rule un-
der an anti-American con-
stitution which deliberately
denies the right of the ma
jority to rule.
ALI this is a matter of rec
ord. And in all these places
the utilities and failures Of
the Hoover Administration
were the issues. But viewing
the wreckage of Administra-
ton hopes, Senator Fess with
a Pollyanna complex smugly
smiles and says: How fine
that the American people
have appreciated the ag-
gressive leadership Of MIR.
Hoover and sustained him
at the polls!"

spiritual affinity are away back
in the class with tatted tides
and horse-hair sofas.
Yet, if love were nothing but
sex-appeal, then every man
would be in love with every per-
sonable gal he chanced to cast
his eye upon. And wouldn't
THAT be confusing.
Still another man will in
form you that love is 80 per
cent of vanity, and 10 per cent
love of adventure. Or love of
conquest. Or love of expert
ment.
And all of them are RIGHT.
For love comes in as many
guises and DISCUSSES as rabbits
fur or the late Lon CLANCY.
You know love when you SEE
it-and you know it when you
FEEL it. But you can't give a
formula for it.
You know that it is made
up of a lot of things-desire.
