You may avoid certain per-

You fear that association

WISE WORDS

Where there is no hope there
can be no endeavor.
Love thy neighbor, but pull
not down thy hedge.
The gods cannot help a man
who loses opportunities.
Anger may glance into the
wise mans breast,
But only in the bosom of fools
doth rest.
There are many echoes in the
world, but few voices.
One honey bee is better than
a house full of flies.
He that accuses all. .convicts
only one.-Burke,

Gold Standard
Was Not in Peril

That is the record.
And what about that cock
and-bull story of Mr..
Hoover, invented to en-
shrine himself as a hero,
who, solitary and alone, in
the secrecy of his chamber,
saw us tumbling off the
gold standard in two weeks,
and through the wizardary
of his constructive genius,
with which we are so ia
miliar, saved us from that
calamity, from "ten years
of misery and revolution?"
That we all know to be
untrue-a campaign canard.
Garner, who would have
known, says:
II can tell you without
fear of contradiction that
to say that we were within
two weeks of the edge of
the gold standard, because
of any lack of gold, is a
libel on the credit of the
United States"
Had such an emergency
existed, Mr.. Hoover must
have communicated it to the
legislative branch Of the
Government, which alone
could have effected correc-
tive legislation - And the
Speaker of the House never
heard of such thing.
The more the public pom
ders On the significance of
that evident attempt to de-
ceive the American people
to serve a selfish end the
more convinced they will
be that the author of that
myth is a dangerous man
to be at the head of affairs
in a crisis. The deliberate
cOncealments and misrepre-
sentations of the Admins
tration run all through the
tragic records of the last
four years.

TT is to be assumed thaC
xevery intelligent business
man in the country is now
familiar with Speaker Gar
ner's devastating analysis
Of the financial policies Of
the Administration given
over the radio. 1t was a
powerful and unanswerable
speech because of the SIM
plicity of the narrative, its
prediction on the official
records, it's quotations from
Mr.. Hoover, and the Speak
er's intimate Identification
with all the governmental
proceedings since the crisis
came.
VIII at ever unscrupulous
and desperate politicians,
including Mr.. Hoover, may
resort to on the stump, no
one, including Ogden Mills,
would care to attack the
Garner statement of facts,
face to face with him on
the floor of the House.
He has revealed the real
culprit in our financial mat
ters as the Administration,
which, in reference to the
Treasury, has either been
ignorant Or determined to
deceive the people, and has
demonstrated to the eatisfac-
ton Of any business man
the reason for the difficult
ties in the balancing of the
budget. No human body
could enact a tax law to
balance a budget without
knowing the truth about the
deficit and this amount was
given Congress time and
again in wrong figures.
Sometimes the Treasury was
off as much as a billion.
The truth is the budget is
not balanced now; and the
reason is that the Treasury
was still ignorant of the
amount needed when the
bill was passed, or it was
still hoping, in the language
of Garner, "to restore con-
fiderce by abusing conf
dence.

Hoover's Economy
Totaled Just 212 Per g.

0OONcA GCO4AOAAAy
Totaled Just 21a Per Cent
Mr.. Garner gives facts
and figures from the record.
He quotes from Hoover
and Mills.
And he quotes the criti-
cal comments of pro-Hoover
papers, charging a misrep-
resentation of the facts.
And in doing so he ex-
poses the Hypocrisy of the
Administration group on
the stump, in pretending
that the Democrats in Con-
gress are responsible for
there having been no ade-
quate reduction in the cost
of government.
He shows from quotation
that Mr.. Hoover came be-
fore Congress with what he
called a "drastic cut" in
the estimates; and this
"drastic cut" was 21a per
cent.
In February last, Ogden
Mills told the chairman of
the Ways and Means Com
mittee of the House that
the very limit of further
economy was $8O,OOO,OOO-
which was 2 per cent.
"And them" says Garner,
"the President made one
statement after another,
both in public and private,
that the possibility of
further savings was practi-
cally nil"
Mr.. Hoover has gone into
power on the pledge dras-
tically to cut the cost of
government, and he did
nothing until, he himself
says, the conditions had be-
come such that we were
threatened with collapse.
Thus the Administration
will 60 down historically as
the most deceptive in its
statements of any in his
tory. When it now claims
credit for everything finally
done-and the budget is not
yet balanced because Of the
ignorance or lack of candor
of the Treasury officials
it comes up against Gamers
Gibraltar of the facts.
The three emergency
measures for which Hoover
claims all the credit were the
balancing of the budget, the

To whom does Garner give
the credit?
1.-THE cold print of the
record shows that on the
very heart of the whole pro-
gram-the balanced budget
the Democratic Congress
did all it was possible to do,
and that the Republican ad-
ministration frustrated their
action by supplying inaccu-
rate and misleading esti-
mates.
And every business man
knows that is true.
On the financial measures
to support private credit, he
says, as every reader of the
press knows, there was
"complete accord" both in
Congress and between the
legislative and executive
branches.
And on the humanitarian
legislation he says, what
every one knows:
1.-THE provision for hun
ger loans and self -liquidating
construction were exclusive
ly of Democratic origin, and
were literally forced through

stubborn resistance, recorded
at every step and continued
until just before the end of
the session, when Demo
cratic persistence and a ris-

tion compelled the Admins

MARRY-GO-ROUND
By Helen Rowland

When a woman shows the
first slight flicker Of jealousy,
she is boring the man, flatter-
ing the other woman-and in
sulting herself.
A man will stop right in the
middle Of a shave to telephone
his sweetheart, before marriage.
After marriage, he won't even
part his lips under the lather
to answer her.
Men are more cheerful and
philosophic than women-be-
cause, no matter how much Of
his life lies behind a man, he
always feels confident that
there is new adventure and
another woman, waiting some
where ahead of him.
A kiss, a summer love affair
and the life of a popular hero
can last just a little too long.
Some lips are so vividly lip

It seems almost a shame for
a girl to take a man who can
win a golf tournament, stake a
tent, drive plane and ride a
polo pony-and pin him down
to running the lawnmoVer and
walking the baby.
The reason why a woman
keeps on asking a man to tell
her that he loves her is prob
ably because she has a sub
conscious conviction that, if
she can make him say it over
often enough, he will come to
believe it himself.
A man never realizes how

Chester Bunge, who figured prom
inently in investigation of the I'M
solved Brown county murders in
1890, is seeking $4,000 damages
from Paul Brown, who may have
been one of the victims.
Bunge, employed on the Lee
Brown farm, was shot when Brown,
his son Paul and Mrs. Brown,
either were killed or disappeared
Bunge's suit in Johnson-B Brown
circuit court states he was shot by
Paul Brown and that use Of an
arm is permanently impaired
Bunge declared that after he was
shot by Paul Brown, the latter
killed his father and mother, fired
their family home and fled.
Two bodies were found in the
ashes. At first they were believed
to have been those Of Brown and
his wife. After investigation, author
tiles decided they were those of
men, and came to the conclusion
that Lee and Paul Brown, were
killed and that Mrs. Brown also was
killed and her body hidden else
where.
