Il won't" Susan promised fer
vently. With the door shut on her

and stared appraisingly at her own
reflection.
Surely the dullest observer could
have guessed what had happened.
Her skin glowed with a new lumi-
nous quality. Her eyes we're starry
under their prepoStereus lashes.
Her breath came and went quickly

although Fenton declared today
that no member of the official per-
sonnet of the state committee is
taking any part in the pre-conven-
ton activities.
Leslie won't like the idea of Nor
ton becoming active in behalf of
Bush. because love never has been
lost between the executive and his
would-be heir.
In fact, if the Governor dislikes
any one as much or more than Fred
Landis. another Governor contender,
it is agile Edgar, the gavel twirler.
And Young, who, it often has
been said. assumes the role of Les
lies shadow. also may hear some
thing from the Governor anent his
alleged partiality toward Bush.
Some time ago Leslie was hailed
as the sponsor of the Governor am
billions held by Arthur H. Sapp
highway commissioner. Then came
word that the Governor had issued
the dictum that if Sapp was to be
candidate, he would have to re-
sign from the road body. Sapp
made no move and was reappointed
to The commission, yet down at the
Ciaypool they say that he has re-
served a suite for the convention.
They also assert that Leslie looks
fayorablv ON the aspirations OF
Lawrence F. Orr, dry law repeal
candidate for Governor.
Whether it be Sapp or Orr, it is
a cinch that the chief executive
doesn't want his aids in there
pitching for Bush.
It's strange situation and quite
puzzling TO observe, but this is a
certainty. paraphrasing a bit: Can
any good thing come out of that
old lineup?"
The answer is quite obvious.

OF those inexplicable promptings

WE'RE COMING BACK STRONG.

THE economic depression from which the
l United States Is just emerging Is the
seventh major attack of 'hard times that
this country has been through in less than a
hundred years. The people who are scared
almost to death for fear that America can't
come back are not bit worse scared than
were the same type of timidminded folk III
each of these previous panics
But, as we all know, America came back
after every one of them, and came back
stronger than ever.
The first great financial crisis was in
1887, when practically every bank in the
United States suspended payment, half of
the property of the entire nation was sold in
bankruptcy proceedings and there was no
work for anybody and nobody had any
money. But we came back so strongly that
III less than twenty years our national
wealth had been multiplied by three
We came back from the crisis of 1857,
went through a terrific and devastating
Civil War and again much more than
doubled our national wealth in the course of
sixteen years. Then we had the panic of
1873, and that was followed by anotherl
great revival that again doubled our ma
tional wealth, until the panic of 1893. WEI
came back from that one richer than be-
fore, and we did the same thing after the
crises Of 1907 and of 1920 Everybody knows
how rapidly our wealth increased between
1921 and 1929, how prosperous everybody
was in those fat years.
There is only one way to foretell the flu
ture, and that is by studying the past. It'll
is as certain as anything can be that we are
coming out of the present crisis toward a
greater and more widespread prosperity
than we have ever known And if we have
any sense we will take greater precautions
against another depression than we did
against this one

TAKE PROHIBITION OUT OF
POLITICS.

HERE seems to be a lot of excitement in
Washington and among politicians on
the question of whether or not the question
Of repeating the eighteenth amendment
should be submitted to the people Of the
United States for national referendum votez
Because the proposition has its origin on the
wet side Of the question, great many emf
nent drys are opposed to it.
We would hate to see the next presi-
dental election complicated by the prohi-
bition issue. We think that issues far more
vital to the welfare of the nation ought to
occupy the public mind during the next
campaign. Prohibition is question which
almost everybody approaches emotionally,
and which obscures all other questions when
it is one of the issues in political campaign
1t seems to us that there is a very
simple, practical and effective way of tax
ing prohibition entirely out of the next
presidential campaign. That is for both
parties Republican and Democratic alike
III their national conventions next June to
adopt platform plank, agreeing to put
through resolution for national referen-
dun on prohibition That would absolutely
insure the referendum, because whichever
side was victorious would be under pledge,
and neither party would be in a position to
block such a move for political reasons.
We do not know Of any intelligent drys
who think that the sentiment of the country
is wet. We know great many vets who
are sure that public sentiment would be
overwhelmingly against prohibition. The
only people who could oppose a referendum
are the vets who are afraid that the country
might vote dry, and the drys who are
afraid that the country might vote wet.
We know this suggestion will not ap-
peal to the folks who want to keep the pro-
hibition issue III politics. We offer it just
for the reason that wedon't believe prohibi-
ton has a proper place IN national politics.

DISARMAMENT BY ANY ONE NATION
rs FOLLY.

THE world disarmament conference now
l converting at Geneva faces an almost
impossible task 1t will be Il difficult
undertaking to get the nations to dis
, arm with powerful and militaristic gov
erment III the Orient engaged i'll subjugat-
ing weaker neighbor. Japan, in its GRIM
inal attack upon China in violation of
treaties and the plain requirements of hui
mainly, is a very potent object lesson of the
folly Of nation relying Oh moral suasion
and passive resistance for its defense.
This paper has argued for disarmament
and still believes that excessive armies and
navies are foolish and senseless burden on
the world But we are just as firmly con-
WINGED that it is utter folly for any one ma
ton to disarm to the point of weakness
while the rest of the world is armed with
powerful and modern instruments of war
fare. If there is to be disarmament it must
come in concerted action by all nations.
One high official at Washington has
stated that perhaps the object lesson pro-
vided by the Sino-Japanese trouble will i'm
press upon the minds of the statesmen at
Geneva the extreme necessity of evolving
some plan whereby recalcitrant nations like
Japan will be unable to attack weaker ma
lions. He hopes the present difficulty may
make easier program of disarmament. We
are inclined strongly to the belief that he
is unduly optimistic.

WHAT WILL THE Gro HOG SEE?

I asst Tuesday was Candlemas Day and
l. the ground hog saw his shadow here
which, according to the old myth, means
six weeks more Of winter. For some rea-
son or other this ancient church holiday has
long been associated with weather forecasts.
A very old English folk rhyme runs thus:
If Candlemas be overcast,
Then the heft of winters past.
If Candlemas be clear and bright,
Then winterll take another flight
Out of the belief that if the sun shines
on Candlemas Day we are in for six weeks
more Of cold weather has arisen the Ameri-
can myth of the grounding which is sup
posed to come out of his hole Oh February
End and pop right back again if he sees his
shadow
These are Of course, purely northern
myths, from the regions Of ice and heavy
SHOWS. There Is usually, about this time OF
the year, in the northern ATTITUDES, what is
called locally 'the February thaw' Several
deceptively mild days do often bring wood
chucks and even bears out Of their winter
Information, and once IN a long time mild
weather continues right into spring. But
SO far as we can find out, nobody ever
caught the grounding in the act of looking
for his shadow, and nobody has ever proved
that the condition Of the skies on Candlemas
Day determines how much longer we may
expect cold weather.
There seem to be some indications that
the financial and economic skies were good
deal brighter on Candlemas Of this year
than they were last year, and we only hope
that people will stop being scared Of their
shadows now and put themselves and their
money back to the sort Of honest, hard work
which is the only road back to prosperity.

the Senate paid to another freshman,
the junior Senator from Maine. Sem
ator White has attended to his duties

Senate, knowing his wide experience
as a member of the House in charge
of merchant marine matters, invited an

views freely and without solicitation.
The legislator, anxious to help out
distress in their districts, are taking
their appeals for financial aid direct
to the members of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation. Much to their
surprise the Congress has found that
when they approved the bipartisan

political favoritism. AS consequence,
the congressional petitioners have
found that they must await their turn
and have their applications 60 through
the same routine as private citizens.
For years, it has been the custom for
legislators to pay personal calls at the
veterans bureau in order to expedite
the settlement of claims and push the
establishment of hospitals in their
states. With hundreds of business con-
Germs pressing hard for quick relief the
congressional group must admit that
