gresmen who voted against prohibition repeal this week in
its most conspicuous place.
These 144 alleged Americans have richly earned the right
30 position great pity that their betrayal Of the
American people cannot be thus permanently recorded
The people gave them outright mandate to submit
repeal amendment to the States
By every principle of popular government it their
duty to obey
Instead of that they cynicay floped the popular will

postponed business recovery in every branch of industry
Of these 14 eighty are lame ducks They will soon

But the remaining sixty three not lame ducks and will
hold office in the next Congress well in this
Not word Of justification be urged in their behalf
They have been guilty of of the most reacherous po

you hear any Theme Songs

No, you don't. Invariably,
mama gets the orchestration.
Also. it is doubtful if any
human function is more over

mother instinct. :" In the first
place, there isn't any such
thing. And even if there were,
of what use would it be? A

life which hasn't changed since
Adam "coo-boSsed" the first old

Paradise. But of what use
would instinct be in raising a
child in a world which changes
over night?
The fact is, no class of
workers know less about their
jobs or make more serious
blunders than mothers, as a
whole. It's a long jump be-
tween bearing human infant
and turning that infant into
civilized citizen-fact which
most mamas entirely overlook.

President Assumes
We Have Done Enough

A more than debatable
suggestion of the President
is that we close our eyes to
grim realities, ignore the
vital problem of unemploy-
ment involving the health
and the very lives of mil
lions Of men, women and
children, assume that all has
been done that should be
done in the way of public
construction, and put an
end to it. This is not re-
markable from the President,
since he has stubbornly op-
posed public construction
on an adequate scale as a
means of furnishing employ
ment and restoring pur-
chasing power from the be-
ginning.
The Administration has
fallen far short of doing all
that could be done in this
direction with the powers
and appropriations at its
disposal. If the Wagner bill,
passed in the last session,
has failed to meet expecta-
tions, it is because the Ad-
ministration failed to use it
at all until the pressure of
adverse public opinion
forced it to beginning.
That beginning was not
much.
Now the President as
sumes we have done enough
and the Federal Govern
ment has done less than any
other national government
confronted by such a crisis.
He would stop building, he
would stop road building,
he would ignore one of the
most serious problems the
American people ever have
faced. In that way he
would save some money
but end all effort to allevi-
ate human misery,
The Washington times., 1932-12-12

THE budget message Of
l. the President falls far
short of being the sensa-
tional plan advertised for
the reduction of the cost of
government by $500, 900, 900.
The reduction proposed with
the new taxes suggested
falls far short of producing
enough money to balance
the budget. The sales tax is
urged, the retention of the
gasolin e tax is recon-
mended, but, with these fail
ing to bring in enough
money, the President con-
spicuously refrains fro m
limiting at a beer tax.
This is all the more notice
able because that is a tax
for which the people un-
questionably voted in the
recent election. This does
not necessarily mean, how
ever, that when Congress
proceeds to the modification
of the Volstead act to get
the benefit Of the revenue
so desperately required, Mr..
Hoover will veto the meas
ure; or, if he does, that it
cannot be passed over his
veto.

Still, the great master-minds
of finance continue to send
their bullion out in little black

them to switch to yellow

have been one of these tiny

which I Swung it. They had
offered me a little black bag
and an armed guard. But I'm
a woman-so I chose a flow
cred hat box.
In those bright days B. D.
(before depression) I had a
woman friend who owned a
: 100000 string of pearls.
Wherever she traveled-and
she Travelled everywhere-she
left those pearls in full view on
the dressing table, with a lot
of imitation junk.
Her theory was that if she
locked them up, somebody
would suspect they were valu-
able; but when she just tossed
them around carelessly, no.
body would dream that they
were anything but five and
ten. If she had been a man,
she would probably have locked
them away in a little black
bag.
A well-known society woman
was the unhappy possessor of
some famous emeraldS. Those
emeralds got on her nerves and
kept her awake nights, until
she thought out a scheme for
getting them off her mind.
That was in the days when
there was a cretonne shoe-bag
tackled on the inside of every.
clothes-closet door.
Never shall I forget how my
young eyes bulged as I beheld
her reach down into the lower
pocket of the shoe-bag, pull out
a shabby pair of bedroom slip
pers and extract the famous
emeralds from their toes. This

be paid for by a business
concern.
These bonds could and
should have been issued
long ago; they would have
been gobbled up by the pub
lie over night.
But the directing minds
of the Administration have
opposed the principle" of
the thing, meaning that it
is against recognizing on
the part of the peoples gov
eminent any responsibility
in initiating steps for the
relief of individuals who
have been denied their in
alienable right to work. Its
plan from the beginning has
been private charity, which
has fallen pltltully below
the necessities of the situa-
ton.
Only a meager part of the
money spent to prevent
starvation and death from
exposure has come from pri-
vate purses. Its plan also
includes expenditures by
States and municipalities,
and these have, in most in
stances, about exhausted, if
they have not completely
exhausted, their resources.
But the National Govern
ment should be spared the
annoyance!
There is another princi-
pie to which many others
subscribe-that in a human
crisis such as this, where
millions are, threatened with
starvation through no fault
of theirs, the National Gov
ernment positively must act.

National Government

Must Act
Senator Wagner says all
that need be said upon that
subject in his comment:
"I do not think this is
any time in view of the eco
nomic conditions to cut
down on the expenditures
for public works. It has
been my opinion that pub
lie works should be paid
for by bonds issued for a
term of years, just as any
capital expenditure would

Women More Ingenious

Sometimes, I wonder If
women are not more ingenious
than men?
OF course, when it comes to
great discoveries and inven-
tions and all that, Man Is
the Master Mind. He will admit
it, himself. But, in little things
which require ingenuity, quick
thinking and a knowledge of
human nature, the subtler sex
can always put him on the
spot"
Take the matter of "the
little black bag" for instance.
More unfortunate bank-runners
and paymasters have been held
up and shot, because they car
ried money in a ''little black
bag" than you or I can recall.

Food for
Thought

It is rather refreshing to
find that among the think
ers in Europe there are
some who can see cur point
of view. At the time of the
settlement made with Italy,
one Of the representatives
Of that country was Mario
Albert, one of that nations
leading economists. He has
just rendered us a service
in a two-column article IN
the leading newspaper of
Milan, in which he says:
How can Europe expect
Americans, themselves suf-
fering from the economic
crisis, to refrain from pro-
testing against cancellation
of Europe's war debts, with
the consequent sharp in
crease in taxation, when
they see France and Eng
land failing to agree to the
most modest reduction in
armaments?"
How indeed!
The payments due this
year will take 3.9 per cent
of England's budget which
gives 1913 per cent to arma-
ment; and 2.5 per cent Of
France budget which gives
22.5 per cent to armament;
and 14.6 per cent of Italy's
budget which gives 23.5
per cent to armament; and
rs per cent of Poland's S
budget which gives 33.9 per
cent to armament
There is plenty of food
for thought in these figures
at a time when these ma
tions, with the exception Of
Italy, are, refusing to con-
slider real reductions in
armament, while proposing
that we take over their
debts and pay them through
the taxation of oIr people
at a moment when we are
puzzled in finding enough
new sources of taxation to
balance our own budget.

It is the shortest NeV' ehas' T. Dp''A
gospel, sketch with only sixteen
chapters, easily read at one sitting.
Moreover it is the gospel of action.
Mark is mainly interested in telling a
story, and does so with simple ease.
There is only sone long discourse, and
but four parallels. But there are eigh
teen miracles, one-half of the whole
number recorded in all four gospels.
Another impressive feature of the
gospel is its rapidity. The action is
quick, urgent, described in the vivid,
pictorial language of an eyewitness.
The Greek word translated Straight
way" or Immediately" occurs eleven
times in the first chapter, and oyer
forty times in the entire book. Jesus is
pictured as tireless worker of abund
ant energy. Events crowd upon one an
other, as Dean Farrar says, with
the impetuous sequence of the waves in
rising tide"
Mark also, be it noted, is the gospel
for the Roman world. He omits all
Hebrew genealogies, does not empha-
size the obligation of the law, inserts
fewer references to the Old Testament
than any of the other three evangelists,
and employs more words of Latin ORR
gin than are to be found-ih any other
New Testament book. Mark, like Paul,
carried Rome in his heart Indeed there
is reason to believe that he wrote his
gospel in that ancient capital.
What sort of picture of Jesus
does he paint? He presents the Master
as the strong Son of God, the lion of
the tribe of Judah.
In the lesson for this Sunday, New
Years Day, we read Marks brief but
graphic account of that unconven-
tiona1 prophet, John the Baptist, whose
desert education and striking sermons
paved the way for our Lords ministry.
