There is a never-ending pag-

that reveals itself to every
visitor almost at once. It has
a definite rhythm, swift, bar
baric Eastern melody, inte~.
posed with soft, melodious
chords. 1t has color, all the
colors of the spectrum rolled
into one. It has life, it has
noise and yet it is of the
broody mysterious East. Turn
into New Street, one of the
main thoroughfares, and you
will see an amazing admixture
of the Orient and Occident.
Innumerable coffee shops line
the main streets. Low, inlaid
tables, with remarkable work
manship on the cleaning brass
trays, low wooden SetteeS on
which sit Arabs in native dress
drinking the strong, sweet coffee
from little cups and putting at
their water pipes, all these
can be seen from the street.
Along the banks of the Tigris
are palm trees. At night the
city is really lovely. Sit on the
hotel terrace, or on the balcony
of your room facing the river
and watch night spread its
sable cloak over the mysterious

Farmers Turn "Wet"
- Want Volstead Act Changed

For the farmers have been cassed chief sup
porters of prohibition.
Farm States have been dry" elections and their
rural inhabitants to look upon even such
ages beer and light wines inventions the devil
which weaknded city folk could resist without superior
moral guidance from the agricultural regions
Hence it is interesting read in The Country Home
national farm journal, these words:
"The saloon blight; the bOOtlegger and the
spe0keGsy curse. What OH after the boot
logger and the spededsy depends upon the intelligence
and public spirit Whch be focused upon the prob

form Of liquor control should replace the Voead act

Evidently the farmer like the rest of the population de-

And when the farmer finds he has been fooled you be
sorry for those who have fooled him.

THREE-MINUTE JOURNEYS

Bagdad-City of Glamour and
Romance
Although today it is stripped
of much of its glamour through
the varied methods of quick
travel. the East is still the
land Of romance and wonder.
Not only the Far East, but
the East that is Persia. the
land that is watered by the
Euphrates and the Tigris, the
land that is so familiar to
us by virtue of its biblical asso-
Citations. Damascus, Bagdad,
the very names have glamour
and beauty, and today instead
of being merely names, they
are familiar territory to many
travellers.
There are motor caravans
through the desert and there
are airplanes to take the trav-
eler swiftly to his destination,
which for today may we'll be
the famed~ city of Bagdad,
where dwelt the tabled Caliph
Haroun-al-Rashid, whose ex-
ploits have come down to us
through the centuries, many of
them entrapped in the stories
of the Arabian Nights" And
even today in modern Bagdad,
one feels somehow that the
splendor of that era still per

Roosevelt Openly
For Tax on Beer

Business men bowed down
with taxes to meet the
Hoover deficit will be inter-
ested in Governor Roose-
velt's statement, made pub
licly. not whispered, in
Pittsburgh:
"A tax on beer in those
States which by State law
permit its sale will add hun
dreds of dollars annually to
the nations revenue and 60
far toward avoiding a new
tax increase"
If Mr.. Roosevelt is elected
there will be a repeal of the
VolStead act after his in
auguration. This will put
hundreds of thousands of
jobless men back to work on
wages they will spend with
the hard-presSed merchants:
and add hundreds of millions
of dollars to. the revenue.
But this is only possible in
the event of his election: for
Mr.. Hoover is against it.
Under the method of re-
pealing a consti tutional
amendment, nothing possible
can be accomplished for four
years more; and in the mean
while there, will be no modi-
fication Of the Volstead act
and no beer to tax,
That is something that
ought to interest the average
business man.
So the average man will
not be much influenced by
these cheap and desperate
attempts to intimidate the
voter; and these intimidative
statements will have to come
from people in whom the
public has more reason to
have confidence. 81,

would have been no Federal

And if there had been no
Federal Reserve System,
there would have been a
crash when the World War
began.
And there would not have
been a splinter left of the
financial structure of the
nation after these wise "fi-
nancial leaders" and the
tried and true leaders" in
Washington had made the
present panic inevitable by
the most unscrupulOus,
greedy and dishonest prac-

superior wisdom, who are
responsible for the general
ruin, now to appear with
propaganda interviews of in

Mr.. Roosevelt is elected,

which they have thrived at

And Ogden Mills
Is Still on Stump!

Meanwhile the Roosevelt
tide, that will sweep to an
overwhelming victory, is still
rising-and Ogden Mills still
is on the, stump! He has just
made another attack on Gar
ner; and our advice to any
one in doubt is to read Mr..
Garner's speech on Mr.. Mills
and Mr.. Mills speech on Mr..
Garner. Nothing could be
Sweeter.
In the balancing of the
budget there was a long and
dangerous delay because the
repeated laundering of Mr..
Mills on the amount of the
deficit made it impossible for
Congress to frame a bill that
would bring in the revenue
required. 1t had to write
three bills before one could
be passed; because twice,
when a bill was framed, Mr..
Mills, who clearly was at, sea
about his own business, blum
der2d to the tune of hun
dreds of millions in his esti-
mate of the deficit.
Mr.. Mills is a wizard with
figures, but a bit backward
in facts; and that was dem
Onstrated to the satisfaction
of New York when, in the
race between Mills and Al
Smith. the latter made him
look like a sheepish school
boy who had neglected his
home work.

THE predatory interests
l. whose inscriptions
greed, by common consent,
has wrecked the prosperity
of the nation, now see that
their whoop-la days Of easy
plucking of the suckers are
over. In desperation they
are stooping-if they have to
stOOp to get rather low-tO
the unscrupulous and des-
perate device Of using the
blackjack on workingmen,
who mean no more to them
in citizenship than one Of
the Chinese coolies imported
by the Chinese Engineering
e. Mining Company into
South Africa.
And there is another bow
to their string; they are do
ing their utmost to destroy
all confidence in our finan-
cial structure. Mr.. Hoover
led off with his cock-and-
bull story of how we were on
the verge of leaving the gold
standard "a cock and : bull
story concocted for the pur-
poses of intimidation, and
thoroughly exposed as false
by bankers, financial writer's,
statesmen and the New York
Times.
Now the predatory inter
ests, as Theodore Roosevelt
described them, have sum-
moned Elihu Root, who never
has failed them once, from
his honorable and acceptable
retirement, solemnly to say
that Franklin Roosevelt's
election will retard the re-
covery of confidence.
This is the same Elihu Root
who fought the Democratic
Federal Reserve bill, tooth
and nail, and with great
solemnity warned that if the
Federal Reserve System were
adopted it would flood the
country with fiat money.
Of all the amusing things
of the campaign, the most
amusing is the rich conceit
that the people in public
life and on Wall Street,
whose stupidity and greed
everyone knows led us into
the greatest panic in history,
Are the only ones who are
wise enough to lead us out.
It's a story for the ma
rines.

LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson.

} have, and ask for more; for
more power, more joy, more
peace.
Why Not?
Why shouldn't you have these
things? You need them.
Other men have them. Then
why shouldn't you have them?
Day and night, year after year,
your heart asks that question
of life-of God. Your heart
sends that prayer to life-to
God.
WHY ISN'T YOUR PRAYER
ANSWERED?
BECAUSE NINE TIMES OUT
OF TEN YOU, YOURSELF,
I+AVE ALREADY PREVENTED
THE ANSWER YOU SEEK.
What men usually ask for
when they pray to God is that
two and two may not make
foU--'."
Two and two must always
make four. That's a law Of
mathematics
That's a law of life. Lives
add up, like a sum in arith-
metic. AND WE, AS WE LIVE,
MAKE OUR OWN SUMS; DO
OUR OWN ADDITION AND
SUBTRACTION.
Two and two make four
and there's no getting away
from it.
Hate and envy make tragedy.
Stiffness and conceit make
contempt.
Laziness and stupidity make
misery.
Cowardice and greed make
shame.
Waste and Stiffness make dis
aster.
You Don't Admit 1t
Two and two make four. You
know that when you see it on
paper, b.: you wo.'t admit it
when you see it in life. You
know that sums on paper go
by rule, but you think that
human life should be run by
miracles.
And so you ask God for
miracles. You ask God to let
two and two make six!
Your life is miserable. You
dol't want to be miserable.
You want to be happy and
proud and safe. You want peo-
pie to like you. You want your
plans to succeed. Yet every
thing goes wrong.
And so you turn, clamoring
to Life, to Cod
Make things right" you
cry. Give me what I need,
what I want"
And all the time you, your.
self. are making things wrong.
All the time you, yourself, are
keeping yourself from getting
what you need and want.
You can't add two and two
and get more than four. You
can aQd IazlneSS, cOncelt, SILL

gance and get more than mis-
cry. You can't add hate, envy,
suspicion, anger and fear and
get more than tragedy.
Why aren't your prayers
answered? You, yourself, are
why. If your life isn't adding
up right, look in yourself for
the reason for that failure.
TWO AND TWO WILL AL
WAYS MAKE FOUR.

Hoover Dances
To Financial Lash

Just when did these gentle
men become so enamored of
the " leadership " of Mr..
Hoover? Just four months
ago, l know personally that
the atmosphere of Wall
Street was sulphurous with
denunciations of Mr.. Hoover
as a man without the initia-
tive, the decision, or the
courage of leadership in a
crisis.
What has happened since
These financial leaders"
cracked their whip and Mr..
Hoover danced the jig they
wanted.
They have concluded that
they prefer a leader who
can be led, and who inter
prets a nation in terms of
financial groups, though it
be the man they so recently
painted in such profane
colors, to a leader of the
Roosevelt type, who inter
prets a nation in terms of
general humanity.
