MOST OF THE ROWLING AGAINST CONGRESS DONE BY BALKED SPECIAL GROUPS.
By RODNEY BUTCHER NEA Service Writer

ashington-Some members of Congress unquesdonably are losing their jobs this year because many voters are convinced that Congress is a bad lot.
 It is impossible to enter any blanket defense of congress and it's performances, but it is also unfor- tunate that so many people fall for the propaganda of those groups and individuals, so often motivated by pure self-interest and so often uniformed or willing to misre- present. who most persistently ridicule and berate it. Congress is attacked-often just ly, but seldom with intelligent criticism-fCr extravaganza, cow ardice, petty personal graft, play ing politics, verbosity and other sins. .'.r Better Than Deserved?
 But it is elected by the people of the United States on the theory that they will send here the men they want to represent them. Con- sidering the muddle-headed voting and popular indifference we have had thus far, recent congresses probably have been much better than We deserved.
 As an institution, congress Is the branch of government which di- rectly represents the people and which is most responsive to their desires. If it were suddenly elim- inflated the government would be- come a dictatorship which, at this time, would inevitably be dominat- I C. xrYn dustrial and financial intestests which already exert major in- fuence both in congress and at the White House.
 There are many conservatives who would prefer such a dictator ship, who believe that the presi- dent should have a completely free hand even though he has been get ting about everything he asked for. But that raises the question whether you want to trust one man with such mighty power and, if so, which man.
 Somebody Loves Them.
 Every member is loved by some- body, although in some cases heaven knows why. It takes a lot of people to elect one. The as- sumption is that senator who says here is pleasing to a majority | in his state and that congressman reelected are favored by their districts. When he gets here the member has to reconcile his own ideas and prejudices on national i legislation with his political leader ship, but he must please his con- stituency or he can't stay.
 Whether he is or isn't already controlled by some interest or in- terests at home, he at once be- comes the target for organized pressure groups which are likely to influence him to the extent to which they can influence political events in his bailiwick.
 He finds himself in whirl of conflicting interests-wets versus drys, capital against labor, veter- ans and farmers against the other ax-payers, tariff beneficiaries against consumers, rich men against those who would tax them more heavily, power companies, business men and bankers lobby ing agains taxes or legislation they dislike, cabinet members and var ious powerful groups opposing spe- cific economies.

Publicizing Peace

A group of European artists, journalists and educators is launching a movement to popularize peace. disarmament and interna- tional good will by means of pictorial ad- vertising. A French poster artist and illus trator, Jean Carlu. is credited with origin ating the idea. The growth and success of commercial advertising by means of press, films and radio led him to believe similar success might be obtained in advertising a cause in the same way.
 The group calls itself the Office for the Graphic Advocacy of Peace Posters, pie lures, drawings and all manner of illustra- tions with or without suitable texts. are to be used. Racial psychology is to be con- sidered; tactics will vary with the difer- ent countries. The artists recognize that the same appeal which might win the people to peace efforts in Italy might not succeed in England. Local artists in every country will be called upon to plan the campaign there. As the public responds to the graphic appeal it is expected to demand that statesmen and diplomats promote peace through their official acts.
 The whole program may sound little fantastic. It may be argued that artists and eartoonists have already done much along this line with little effect. Yet there never has been such widespread. united cam paign as the present graphic advocates pro- pose. The same psychology so effectively used by the best commercial advertisers may prove effective here. The thing is very much worth trying.

When the resignation of Colonel Han ford MacNider as Minister to Canada was announced last week it was said that the colonel had expressed a desire to return to bis private business. We now learn that at least a good share of this business will be lining up the veteran vote for President Hoover. If it was felt necessary to recall Colonel McNder for this arduous task then the plight of the republican party in the United States must indeed be desperate. They've recalled Ambassador Mellon; now McNider. Colonel Roosevelt they turned down. Who's next?

WHEN SOMEONE
LEAVES US
BY DOUGLAS MALlOCH

FRIENDS are not only made to-
gelher playing.
For idle friendships seldom last for
long;
But friends together working, plan
ming. praying,
Know finer friendships that are
doubly strong.
There's neighbours friendship with
neighbor.
The sort of friendship heaven has
understood,
A brotherhood. ii sisterhood. Of labor,
Together working for some common
good.
So we have worked. have planned,
have prayed together,
Have formed new friendships, firmer
found the old.
Have sung our songs and even
Knocked the weather,
Each day link, each lint of shin
ing gold.
Some joy perhaps may come from
hours of pleasure.
But hours of labor bring the true
reward.
A better friendship heaps the fuller
measure
Of those who work together with the
Lord.
And when we part, for sometimes
there is parting,
We only leave old vineyards for the
new.
For there are other vineyards to be
starting,
In other fields is other work to do.
Whoever goes, although some dear
friends leaves US,
We shall remember ev'ry kindly
grace,
And know that you, although your go
ing grieves us,
Are working with us in some other
place.

Sammy Jay he wondered what Buster

grOwl and whine of pain as bee
found a particularly tender spot and
thrust her sharp little lance into it,
and right on top of that would be

scooped lot of honey into his mouth.
1t was funny. Yes, sir, it was
funny sight to see. Buster squirmed
and twisted as the bees stung him,
but he didn't once stop his greedy
scooping out of that honey. 1t was
smeared I'll over his face. 1t had
dripped down on his black coat. He
was getting himself into dreadful

didn't mind this in the least. In
fact, he didn't mind anything. not
even the stings of the bees He had
forgotten everything but his stomach
Farmer Browns Boy wanted to stay
and he wanted to go. He wanted to
stay to see what Buster would do
when he finished all the honey. He
wanted to go because, in spite of the
fact that every time they had CHANGED

away as fast as ever he could. Farmer
Browns Boy couldn't get over the
idea that Buster might not always
run. You see Buster is such a big
fellow with such great claws and
teeth that Farmer Browns Boy just
couldn't help feeling wee bit afraid
of him.
Now about this time Busy Bee and
her fellow workers made Up their
minds that do what they might they
couldn't drive Buster Bear away, and
the least excited of them began to load
themselves with sweets from their
storehouse to carry to a new store

begin their summers work all over
again. and they didn't propose to
waste any time in crying over what
had happened. They would save some
thing from the wreck with which to
make a new beginning. SO most Of
them hurried to load themselves with

And he was right. In the depths of

You see the trees made shade. and it
was only here and there that the Jolly
Little Sunbeams could find a way
