SCOUT BROWNLEE GAINS
HIGH RANK OF EAGLE

An interesting drill in scout work
was held by Scout Master Clifford
Johnson Wednesday at the school
gym. Two troups of Boy Scouts
were tested by three members Of
the scout committee, acting in the
capacity of a Court of Honor. An
excellent showing was made in
spite of the fact that on account
of flu sickness several substitutes
took the places of scouts who were
expected to take the tests.
The chief purpose of the even
ing, however, was to confer on
Scout Gardner Brownlee the rank
Of Eagle, the highest rank in scout
dom. Scout Brownlee had made
himself eligible for the rank by
faithful, arduous work and study
and by passing numerous tests
Under Mr.. Johnson's enthusiastic
leadership the Scouts are doing
good work and making fine pro
5ress.
The members of the scout com
mittee who acted as Court of Hon
or were Dwight Lohn, Charles Ar
rivee and o. C. Johnson.
A new scout troup, sponsored
by the Lions club, has been form
ed. Members are Donald Johnson
John Moore, Harrison Morley.
Henry Lowe. James Garden, Alvin
Isachsen. Ordean Olson, Maxton
Anderson.
G. Fl. Johnson is scoutmaster
and Gardner Brownlee, Junior as
sistant scoutmaster.

So the doctors took the topsy-
turvy girl and, while she seemed
asleep, told her how to see
things straight; and when she
awoke she saw things right
side-up again!
Doctors will be interested in
the medical side of that story.
Every unhappy or bewildered
human being will be interested
in another side Of that story.
For we're all meeting life up
side-down to some degree, and
we all get that way through
some hurt.
, We don't literally SEE things
twisted as this girl did, but we
FEEL things twisted. We FEEL
things hind-side-to.
A Big Picture

life as a big picture, revolving

personal. We no longer took
things as they came. We be-
gan to seek our place in the pic

portant and happy place in the
picture; began to make plans.
And with awakening curiosity
came rebuff; with plans, came a
certain amount of failure. Peo-
pie hurt us, disappointed us,
angered us. So presently things
weren't as simple as they had
been. Some things looked big
and black; some things looked
small and mean.
Life was becoming twisted.

childish hurts and fears, fail.

rankle, don't they? They still
make you see some parts OF life

You thought of that as you
read this story Of the hind-side-

sadly, that someone could hyp-
notize you-take all the secret
hurt and tangles out Of your
head and heart. If only some
body could do that for you!
Somebody can! You can do
It for yourself. You can-if
you're willing, and honest, and
brave-open your own mind and
search out -our own secret
trouble. Instead Of hiding I'M
happiness deep inside you, you
can drag it out into the light,
look it over, compare it with
the rest of life-and put it

Gross Currents in
Both Parties
Claude G. BOWerS

racy just now lies in the fact
that economic conditions and
the inevitable resentment Of
millions makes its success
probable in November, re-
gardless of what its position
may be. Millions this year
are going to vote to put
somebody out, more than to
put somebody in. 1t is not a
healthy state of affairs; but
it is natural.
No one understands this
better than the privileged
element which has had it's
own way during the last
twelve years. These are not
any more concerned with
parties than international
bankers are obsessed with
country. They will always
be found where power is, or
promises to be, if it means
anything to them. And the
grave danger to the Democ-
racy just now is that these
powerful factors, concluding
that the Administration is
doomed, will undertake to
dominate the Democracy,
which is almost certain to
win. And such domination
would mean no change of i'm
portance in economic or po-
litical policies.
And there always are
Democrats among the lead
ers who will welcome the
proffer of such an alliance.
Some, because they really
have the Hamiltonian idea;
others because they want
to win for the sake of the
offices.

THE Senate has voted
l. down a proposition to
legalize 2.75 per cent beer
as the basis of new taxes by
a vote Of 81 to 24-the two
parties equally providing
the "a votes. Such an act
would have added enor-
mously to the Federal reve-
nue. and to that extent re-
duced the taxes necessary
on almost everything else to
get the money to balance
the budget.
Having taken this stand
against legalizing an indus
try that exists and prospers,
and thus making it pay its
part toward the meeting of
the cost Of government, the
Senate then made a virtue of
increasing taxes on products
that enter into the making
of beer and wine illegally.
Thus we have a stern re-
nunciation Of the legalizing
Of a traffic that exists and
the recognition of the busi-
ness of the illicit manufac-
turer and the bootleg
ger. Since the purpose Of
the tax on the products
that enter into the making
of beer and wine is to raise
revenue, the Senate pro-
claims it's understanding, and
presumably it's hope, that
this illicit traffic shall con-
tinue.
Such Zlg-zag thinking goes
far to explain the threat
ened collapse of government
in the United States. When
ever a nation sets it's jaws
with the grim determination
to ignore realities, that ma
tion is in a bad way.

Let the People
Decide

SSN4NO
Just now many of the most
serious problems confronting
the country have no real par
tisan significance. Some of
them do, because the Admin
istration, seeking reelection,
has taken a position in op-
position to the Democratic
program. But even the posi-
tion of the Administration
does not make a party ques-
ton unless the Presidents s
party takes its stand with
him.
republicans reading
Smith s recent speech pre-
tend at least to be in accord
with his propositions, though
most of his propositions are
opposed by Mr.. Hoover.
And Democrats, reading
DR.. Buffers proposed pro-
gram, can heartily agree
with most of his propositions.
The reason is that most of
the propositions of these two
men are not properly parti-
san at all. And most of them
are economically sound. The
marvel under the circum-
stances is that the two par
ties cannot get together as
common Americans and put
a non-partisan reconstruction
program through.
Then on the real funda-
mentals let them take their
opposing views in their
conventions and let the peo-
pie decide. If this were
done the platforms of both
parties could be published
in a column of the newspa-
pers, and the man in the
street would know precisely
what the shouting is all
about.
This is the year for the
Fundamentals.
The Washington times., 1932-05-23
The Futility of
Our Party System

The futility of our party
system, as many think, is
due to this incongruous mix
ture of divergent elements
within both parties. For
this makes it impossible
usually for the people to
vote on clear-cut issues of
liberalism. Both parties are
sometimes forced by the con-
flicting forces within them
to compromises on policies
and principles, and when
the process of compromising
is over it is six of one and
half a dozen of the other.
If the Democracy is really
Jeffersonian it is the party
of liberalism; and if the
Republican party is really
Hamiltonian, without COM
promise, it is the party Of
conservatism. This ought to-.
be the cleavage; and it ought
to be honest and clear-cut.
And when it becomes clear
cut there will be no need
and no further agitation for
a "third Dartv."
The Washington times., 1932-05-23
Enough to Disgust
the People

Enough to Disgust
the People
There is some injustice in
the observation, however.
Take twenty Democrat and
twenty Republican leaders,
selected haphazard, and there
will probably be fifteen
Democrat liberals and five
Republican liberals and fiji
teen conservative Republi-
cans and five conservative
Democrats. In other words,
the Democracy more nearly
represents liberalism than
the Republican party.
But these five insurgents
in each party are enough to
confuse the issue and to dis
gust the people. The truth
is that since the war between
the States it has not often
been possible for the people
to vote on the clear-cut issue
of liberalism and conserva-
tism.
The danger to the Democ-
