WISE WORDS

Do nothing hastily but catch
ing of fleaS.
Careless shepherds make
many a feast for the wolf.
You cam tell from the honey
where the bees have been.
He who lends to the poor
gets his interest from the Lord.
AS good water goes by the
mill as drives it.
A clock serves to point the
hours, and woman to make us
forget them.

THE article by Calvin
i Coolidge, inviting a suf-
fering nation that has about
gone bankrupt under the
ministratiOns of Mr.. Hoover
to -four years more of
Hoover" smacks of a pro-
fessiOnal politician having
much difficulty with his ma
terial. 1t is common knOwl-
edge, Of course, that the
politician of Northampton
would be for any Republican
under any circumstances.
There are reasons why Mr..
Coolidge must feel some per-
sOnal responsibility for the
disasters that have befallen
millions during the Hoover
regime. History will record
that the panic, the crash,
the crumbling Of trade and
industry, the collapse of
credit were made inevitable
by the do-nOthing policy Of
the Coolidge era when the
forces that wrought the
ruin were given a free hand
to do whatever they wished.
Mr.. Coolidge himself person
ally set the example Of
using the presidential office
to affect the battling of the
bulls and bears. He is more
responsible than Hoover for
the panic; and this would be
a plea in extenuation for
the latter but for the fact
that he was part of the
Coolidge regime and in
hearty sympathy with its
policies, and continued the
market-minded program un-
til the crash came.

Federal Relief
Work Withheld

Under these circumstances
the Hoover administration
withholds money and jobs
provided by Congressional
enactment with the very
reluctant consent of Mr..
Hoover.
Congress voted $3OO,OOO,-
600 for the relief of the
hungry-and with welfare
organizations begging, this
money has been withheld by
the Administration.
Congress provided $1,000
100000 for relief and con-
struction seven weeks ago
and not a penny has been
used.
When the money was
voted for construction work
it was made to cover only
such building projects as
the executive heads Of the
Administration said could
be begun at once; and after
seven weeks nothing has
been done!
And now Ogden Mills,
that ardent lover of the
masses, says complacently
that along about the first
of October he will see what
can be done.
And Senator Wagner
answers:
with 100000 out of
work, with millions of fam
lilies relying on relief, it
seems to me that we shall
experience a winter of in
describable cruelty unless
we Immediately bring into
full operation the $2,000,-
100000 relief and construc-
tion act.
"Cruelty" is too mild a
word; we would substitute
"brutalitv."

No Lack Of Program Found In Gov. Roosevelt's Book And
 No Demogogy, Says Critic
New York Times Writer Finds Parallel Between
 Democratic Presidential Candidates Views and Those of Woodrow Wilson In 191O-12.

On the Hoover Record--I in- dict the administration on three separate counts:
 Count one: Washington has embarked upon policy of propping up European finan- ces to avert reprecussions in America. But it has not sum- moned up the moral courage to tell the nations of Europe that they must acknowledge the debts which their govern ments owe to the government of the United States. All ef- forts to stabilize world finance will be futile until Europe rec ognizes her just obligations.
 Count two: When internation- al trade began to languish, the administration attempted to re- vive,i it by restoring to it's tra- ditionaI policy of raising the tariff. But the raised tariff wall shut out prosperity. .. Until the tariff is lowered. there will be no corresponding lowering of European retaliatory tariffs and no real flow of interna- tional trade.
 Count three: Mistaking the tick of the ticker for the pulse of business, Washington does nothing to restore the por- chasing power of from fifty to sixty million people who live in small towns and on farms ... Deprived of the farmers dollar, business and industry suffer. No country can be half bankrupt and half sound!
 On Farm Relief-rhe object of the equalization fee plan is to remove from this coun- try the exportable surplus, thus allowing the tariff to be- come operative. It is hoped that the price to the farmer would then be roughly the world wheat price plus the amount of the tariff. This new price would apply only to wheat consumed in this coun- try. The world price is all the farmer would get for that pro- portion of his crop which rep resents the exportable surplus.
 Such a plea is worth trying.

was named one of the ten fresh- men students at Columbia Uni- versity who will be awarded scholarships given annually to the most prominent men in secondary schools.
 The announcement was made through the columbia Alumni News" which made it's first ap- pearance of the academic year this morning and which stated that the freshman class has an enroll- ment of 475 students from 23 states. Sixty-one prepar tory schools are represented by 11S scholars. Last .'ear 19 such insti- tutions were represented.
 Approximately 2,200 applications were received. 'The News" states adding that the majority of the private school graduates are resi- dents of New York city The News interprets this fact as & sign that the depression had made it im- possible for many city families to send their children to universities elsewhere.
 Scholarships of $500 were a. warded by the college to 20 of the new students, the alumni publica- ton reports, the recipients being selected for scholastic standing in secondary schools. Of the 20 stu- dents two are from Connecticut, Schuyler Lawrence of Wallingford and Randolph l.. Titus of Kent.

Washington, Sept 30-- (UP)- Ordinarily there is no more cock sure man in Washington than sec retary of Treasury Mills, who is President Hoover's chief political adviser. But there was just a trace of nervousness in his ruddy face as he stood on the White House steps and chatted before starting out on his transcontinental speak ing tour. some of his friends are counting strongly on him as a fut- ure hope of the party. They De- lieye he will make contacts during this trip which will be invaluable to him four years from now. He discussed his speaking sched- ule and the importance of the task which has been assigned to hlm of answering the western tour or Governor Roosevelt. Then he re- called his recent trip to Maine where he made the final republican plea for support of President Hoover.

 The Christmas sun was already setting, reminding gran d mother that her last day was almost over. With sudden sob she shed her gallant garment of pretense, and in an overpowering hunger for sympathy, she quavered out her sad littls story.
 The gaunt visitor came around to her side and took her hand with clumsy tenderness.
 I'm not the guest you were ex- pecting but when l saw that din- ner- well, you couldn't understand unless you'd lived for three weeks on prunes and toast and skim milk. Anyway, I was ravenous from hunger and I haven't had dinner of such pure, unadulterated bliss since mother cooked it. What

Packing up will be easy, for, knowing you'd have no further use of your furniture, Edwin's told the customer he could '-buy it just as it stood, and, of course, the money'll be yours-a nice, tidy sum-for Mir Craig was all carried away with your braided rugs and old dishes and furniture;

in horror at lack of festal board and Christmas cheer!
 It must have been the affecting picture of those disappointed ghosts of other Christmasses that inn pslled grandmother to sit erect, swab her red eyelids, stiffen her trembling chin and resolve to thrust her troubles into the background til Christmas should be over. I'll have Christmas dinner" she planned, just as if nothing had happened and-why, I'll invite Ed wins brother!"
 Feverish with excitement, grand mother hurried to do her market ing, and for the rest of the day the old kitchen abounded with tantalizing cooking odors.

 She was becoming a trifle anx- ious about her guest when she spied gaunt figure coming up the walk. She fluttered hospitably to the doorway and beamed at the visitor.
 T declare I was getting worried for fear you wouldn't come, after all," she said. Edwin and Fife Ann have gone away and you're to have dinner with me. I'll dish it right up"
 The visitors gaze fastened itself upon the loaded table, and power of speech seemed to desert him.
 At grandmothers request he dex- terously carved the turkey, and having served his hostess, devoted himself unreservedly to eating.
 My land" unused grandmother, aghast, that poor creature must have been fasting for a week."
 But when the Indian pudding, pumpkin pie and fruit cake had been eaten and they were picking placidly at the nuts, the guest waxed talkative.

are that the selling in this case, as else
where in the list, was nothing more
than reflection of discouragement over
the slow progress in business recovery.
. The motor shares were reactionary all
through the early trading. Nash dipped
in under SIS share for the first time
to a new low for the bear market and
General Motors did the same, but with
a smaller loss. Auburn was down with
the rest. Once the Ford Co. s plans are

support for the motor stocks.
Although cables reported Belgian pro-
ducers as having agreed on restriction
of copper production, the copper shares
were offered for liquidation and new
lows were registered by Anaconda and
Kennecott. International Cement was
another industrial to record a new low
at this stage.
Rallying tendencies were in evidence
during the first hour in pivotal indus
