Ending Disputes

None likes boSsy life mate.
This is particularly annoying
as trait displayed before
others.
There may be no temper out
bursts in the home when one or
the other assumes the position
of ruler but there is quite
likely to be some fireworks
if such a manner is demon
strated in public.
At a recent card party a
husband objected to a certain
lead made by his wife.
She believed it to be quite
proper-he insisted it was not
the thing to do.
The heated discussion was
avoided by this remark from
the wife:
This is not the time nor
the place to go into the matter;
we will discuss it after we reach
home"
That ended the dispute.
If more married couples
should adopt this plan it might
be more agreeable for the other
guests and there would be fewer
exhibitions of temper in public.
Indeed, why isn't 1t a good
plan?
People don't attend card
parties to hear puarreling. .

A Correspondent
Hoover's Intimate

Now we have new tack.
Mark Sullivan is a CORE
spondent, but not just "a
correspondent. " He is one of
the most intimate friends and
advisors of Mr.. Hoover. AL
most any Monday morning
we may read that Mr.. Sulli-
van was one of the weekend
guests at Rapidan. At these
political conclaves at the
fishing camp, where there is
more fishing for votes than
for fish, the strategy is dis
cussed. And when Mr.. Sui
Ivan writes as a CORE
spondent everyone knows
that he is following out the
strategy determined upon in
a Hoover political confer
ence.
Thus, when he writes for
the purpose of persuading
the antiprohibitionists in
New York, New Jersey, Penn
sylvania and Massachusetts,
that the Democrats have no
thought of carrying out their
platform pledge if they get a
mandate from the people, we
know the policy of the cam
paigR. He dare not write
that Mr.. Hoover will follow
the course outlined in the
Democratic platform, for
that would ALLEVIATE the Anti
Saloon League, on which so
much reliance is placed.

Don't ask parents if you may

Few fathers and mothers
want to entrust their offspring
with even the closest relatives.
Children are like adults in en-
joying certain things detrimen-

Not understanding the things
to be avoided in diet or exer-
else, very likely you will allow
them an indulgence that may
be harmful to thC2.
Mothers, especially, know
this.
Therefore they don't want
privileges granted to their girls

There is always a certain
degree of anxiety when chill

You should not resent it.

LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson

OR A SILLY MAN is Elk
ACTLY AS POTENT AS THE
FAITH OF A GOOD OR A
WISE MAN.
And | bad or a silly man who
really believes in himself can
put it all over the wise and
good man who isn't sure of him
self or won't fight for himself
You've seen that principle at
work scores of times. The
really intelligent, big man with
the Whitney, stupid wife. The
fine, powerful woman with the
pee-Wee husband.
Why do such splendid people
allow such nuiSances to wreck
their lives? Why do they give
way to their unreasonable de-
mands?
1t Is Not True
ooh, we just do it to keep the
peace" say the Big Man and
Fine Woman.
But that isn't true.
THEY DO TT BECAUSE
THEY CAN'T HELP THEM
SELVES.
THE SIMPLE TRUTH IS
THE NITWITS AND PEE
WEES ARE MORE POWER
Full THAN THEY ARE
HAVE MORE DETERMINE
TON AND MORE FAITH
AND BY THEIR COMPLA-
CENCY AND SELF-CONFI-
DENCE, THEY BEAT DOWN
THE FINER BUT LESS CON-
FIDENT CHARACTERS.
But it's hard for Big People
to see this. They're so sure
that thei. superior intelligence
and decency protects them
against the Little People. But
it doesn't-and won't.
NEITHER WISDOM NOR
RIGHTEOUSNESS ARE A SUB
STTTUTE FOR FAITH.
THE MAN WHO BELIEVES
IN HIMSELF AND IN HIS
OWN CAUSE WILL WIN, EVEN
THOUGH HIS CAUSE BE THE
SILLIEST ISSUE ON EARTH.
THE WORLD IS RULED
NOT BY GOOD MEN OR BY
WISE MEN. BUT BY COMPLA-
CENT FOOLS WHO BELIEVE
IN THEMSELVES AND CON-
CENTRATE ON THEMSELVES.
Betraying Wisdom
And the very breadth of a
mans wisdom or the greatness
of his heart will betray him to
petty people who have no
knowledge or interest save their
faith in themselves.
SUCH PEOPLE ARE LIKE
STEEL DRILLS ATTACKING
BIG, FLABBY MOUNTAINS.
THE MOUNTAINS MAY HAVE
ALL THE BULK AND THE
BEAUTY BUT SOONER OR
LATER THEY WILL GO
DOWN BEFORE THE VI

November Vote
Real Dry Test

The first move to array the
vets with the drys in these
important States came when
Hoover organs began to in
sist that the declaration for
" immediate - modification
meant modification during
the present session of Con-
gress. Of course, the party
in 1882 could not pledge men
elected in 1880. The plat
form adopted with so much
enthusiasm, and by such an
overwhelming majority in
the Democratic convention,
applies to the policy of the
party, provided the people
give it a mandate at the
polls in November.
No one was impressed by
this "strategy."

WISE WORDS

The greatest liar is he who
talks most of himself.
Learn to creep before you
run.
Do not spread your corn to
dry at an enemy's door.
Live as far above envy as
ever you can.
Measure thrice what thou
buyeSt. and cut but once.
Discreet stops make speedy
Journeys.
Virtue which parleyS is near
a surrender.
1t takes greatness to discern
greatness.
Heaven where no unkind
word is spoken.
They who would be young
when they are old must be old
when they are young.

THE Hoover strategists are

"HE Hoover strateSlStS are
l. having no end of embar-
rassment in the prohibition
planks of the two platforms,
and there is more OF the
grotesque than of the con-
vincing in the gyrations OF
these distressed people.
Never has an issue been more
clearly drawn. Never have
people of rudimentary intel
ligence understood it so thor
oughly. And that makes it
very embarrassing to Mr..
Hoover in New York, New
Jersey, Massachusetts and
Illinois. The strategy is now
out. The Hoover managers,
under his leadership, have
gone too far gracefully to
renounce their act in their
own convention. They can
not possibly say to the people
of these States that they
favor modification and re-
peal-for that was the issue
when Ogden Mills led the
fight for Mr.. Hoover IN the
convention which resulted IN
a victory for the prohibl-
tionists.
What, then, can be done?
Just one thing. The people
must be persuaded, if pos
sible, that the Democrats did
not mean what they said IN
their platform when, as a
party, they took their stand
for repeal and for modifica-
ton as soon as the voters
have given them a mandate
at the polls.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1932-08-25

the polls would go down to
crushing defeat in the very
next election.
But there is no disposition
to renounce the pledge.
For more than a year there
has been an amazing rising
against the prohibition laws.
This is as true III the
South and West as in the
North. 1t has affected men,
bers of Congress from the
first two sections as much
as from the last. These men,
close to government, know
ing the mockery and the ap-
palling cost of enforcement
that does not enforce, re-
senting the taxation immu-
nifty accorded one of the most
lucrative industries in the
land, have been convinced
that the noble experiment"
has failed.
But they are politicians
and hesitate, without a clear
mandate from the voters, to
act in accordance with their
convictions. Any one ia
miliar with the gossip of the
cloak rooms knows this is
true.
If the Democrats win on
this issue they have the justi-
fication so many of them
seek.

Not only is there a party

deliberately made, but Mr..
Roosevelt has accepted as his

he said, "the Eighteenth

VETS Put Up
Strong Battle

So this year it was decided
to have the issue definitely
made in the Republican con-
vention. The antiprohibition-
lists put up a magnificent
fight; and, but for the active
interference of Mr.. Hoover,
an antiprohibition pla k
would have been written and
adopted.
1t was defeated, and the
Administration plank, which
Nicholas Murray Butler calls
dishonest" was forced in
under the leadership of Og-
den Mills, of New York. act
ing in defiance of the in
struction Of his own delega-
ton.
In the Democratic conven-
ton the sentiment was over
whelmingly for repeal and
modification, and a plank in
conformity with that senti-
ment was adopted by a ire
mendous majority.
When in history has an
issue between two platforms
and candidates been more
Enthusiastically drawn?
The time has therefore
come for the liberals in New
York, New Jersey, Pennsyl-
vania, Massachusetts and Hi
nois to either "put up or
shut up"
If, with the issue so plain,
they vote with the drys this
year, there are great many
of us who will make it a
point to accept the verdict of
the country and vote with
the drys in the future.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1932-08-25
Issue Seems
Clear Cut

But with the issue clear
cut, unmistakable as it is,
the reelection of Mr.. Hoover
would be a plain indication
that the country still wants
the Eighteenth Amendment
and the Volstead act. The
timid, who are at heart
against prohibition, would
again take to their tents and
vote against modification or
repeal.
And under our form Of
government, they would be
justified in refusing to vote
a change. For the people
would have spoken against a
change - and with the poll
tician the voice of the voter
is the voice of God.
Are the antiprohibitionists
less intelligent in the eXer-
else of the privileges Of citi-
zenship? a great many
people came to this conclu-
sion four years ago, but there
were excavations. In New
York, and other wet sections,
the vets were told in Whls-
pers that Mr.. Hoover s
pledge Of a commission to in
vestigate was just his way Of
getting rid of prohibition:
"Just leave it to Hoover, "
they whispered, with a wink.
And they did. The result is
known-even to the misrep-
resentation of the findings of
the commission at the in
stance of the White House.

Maj. Music Week
 From May 1 To z
Ninth Annual Celebration Planned to Stimulate Mnsi- csIACtiyites as Vital Fofce in Trying Times

New York. April 20--Music, is Keeping step with the march of the times with regard to the plans for making the ninth National Music week, May IT, an impress sfve illustration of tnasic's placs if human life. That movement, which represents music. of the people, for the people and by the people," is this year being shaped Sd that the Music week may be an objective for. the development. Of activities which will stimulate the use of music as a. salutary form of recreation during the present emergency. Local committees irl the more than 1000 cities and towns observing National Music week are making contact with people in their natural group en- vironments so that they may be helped to experience the joy , of se!f-expression through music. Adults as well as young people are being led to realize that, in these trying times, a highly satisfying tive force is to Hear Music, Make Music, Enjoy Music"
 Music week is expected to ren- der more service to music this year than ever before in the eight years of it's history" such is the declar- alton made. when announcing the rev plans, by c. M. Tremaine, sec retary of the National Music week committee. Music is never more vital force; in human life than 1t is
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-04-20

nation-wide attention wiilr be thrown upon music throughout the observance. This should stimulate public response to the local project whether it be for additional mus
 ical equipment for tho schools;
 the providing of a scholarship enabling local high school stud- ent to attend the National Music camp at Interlochen, Mich. orc one of the other summer music camps: the securing of more associate members for a choral or instru- mental society; the enrolling of more subscribers for g. concert series, etc. The economic situa- tion of local, musicians should also be taken into account Of course. all such efforts will be- in due re-. iation to the paramount urgency of general unemployment relief!
 Further governmental recogni- ton of the Music week movement IS seen in the addition several state or territorial governments to the honorary committee for the celebration, which is headed by President Hoover and which in- cludes the governors of nearly all the states. Those additions include the following: George w. P. Hunt, Arizona; Ruby Laffoon. Kentucky; Sennett Conner, Mississippi; A. Harry Moore. N. :J.; Arthur Seiig- man, New Mexico; George White, Ohio; Clifford Pinchot, Penn; George A. Parks, Alaska and Paul M. Pearson, Virgin Islands. Such official endorsement of the move ment is represented each year in the issuing by the governors of a proclamation or public statement in honor of Music week. That ac- tion was taken last year by twenty five of the governors.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-04-20

ii. a. time of stress such as the present. Although Music week may be considered by some as be- .if.g merely period of one week in which the public is asked to give mare thought to music. it is much more than that. It represents in the various communities a period of two or three months in which ali sorts of groups get together to prepare for their own participa- ricn in the local Music week. More oyer, many of those groups exper- fence such pleasure in that prepar- ation that, following Music week, they frequently determine to make such musical activities perman- ent feature of their group life. The Music week on May 1-7 will there fore not merely be illustrative of the value of music in an emer- 'gency such as the present, but it will be stimulatiye of many musi- cal activities which will continue after this emergency has passed. It is therefore to be hoped that the coming Music week will be ob- served as widely as possible in or- der that it may be a strong life- eEriching factor in our national situation"
 Along with the above keynote of the 1882 Music week. it is sug- gested by Mir Tremaine that that period be utilized by various com munitfes as the time for carrying out some project for meeting what ever may be an outstanding musi-
