Watson in Same
Boat with Hoover

1t is common knowledge
in Washington and III lndi-
ana that Senator Watson
is not an ardent admirer of
the President.
That he does not think
him a great leader.
That he does not really
see the resemblance to Lin
coin.
But the Senator is up for
reelection this fall; and he
must run under the leader
ship, and on the achieve
ments" and the record OF
the Administration; and he
cannot hope to win, if Mr..
Hoover loses. However un-
congenial the companship,
the Senator finds himself in
the same boat with the Adj
ministration and knows they
must float or sink together.
Meanwhile the Admins
tration of experts" an d
engineers Of government
has gone, in the person of
Ogden Mills, to the Ways
and Means Committee Of the
House, and admitted that
it underestimate revenues
to the extent of another
half billion.
After three years of "ex'
pert" government by "the
only people fit to govern,
the Administration goes to
the Democratic House and
says that in one year we
must so tax the people, all Of
whom are desperately suffer
ing financially, to raise not
only the stupendous amount
normally required, but to
raise also one billion and a
half more to meet a deficit
of one billion and a half.
Mr.. Crisp, acting Demo-
cratic leader, went immedi-
ately to the House, trans
mitted the tragic informa.
ton, and putting country
first, declared that the
money must be raise d
through the most drastic tax
alton through which every
one must suffer. But he
added:
This deficit is the deficit
Of a Republican Administra-
tion."

terrible urgency. Days are not
longer a matter of time for
many of those 2S,493, 800. THEY
REPRESENT THE LAST.
BRIEF, DESPERATE GAP Be
TWEEN HOPE AND DESPAIR
BETWEEN LIFE AND
DEATH.
Relief won't be "just as good
if it comes next month" It
must come NOW-it must come
THIS WEEK-if it is to save
thousands of Americans from
complete ruin. Is it going to
come now?
Easy to Answer
That's easy-tragically easy
to answer. It isn't going to
come now. Jim won't get his
this week. We've waited too
long. Things can't be mended
as quickly as that.
THE BANKER MUST BE
HELPED FIRST.
He must feel the money in
his own hands. He must mend
the worst gaps in his own fence.
Meanwhile, of course. he will
be encouraged and advised to
do the right thing by the Amer.
ican citizen, Then. in his own
good time-SAID GOOD TIME
BEING LEFT ENTIRELY UP
TO THE BANKER-he will get
around to helping the poor man.
BUT HOW SOON WILL
THAT BE?
There's a time clause in that
bill-for the poor man. If he
doesn't get help soon-very,
very soon-it's taps for him.
Nothing less.
BUT THERE'S NO TIME
CLAUSE IN THAT BILL FOR
THE MEN WHO ARE GOING
TO HANDLE THAT TWO Bill
LION DOLLARS.
No one has said: "If you do
not get direct and adequate re-
lief to at least eight millions Of
American citizens within the
next two weeks, you will be
fined, jailed and eventually de-
ported"
Clause of Death
A time clause for the poor
man-and that time clause
means death. But there's no
time clause for the rich man.
No one has told him when he
must perform, what will happen
to him if he doesn't. No one
has even threatened to slap
him on the wrist.
So now we're wondering, you
and I, just when and how he
will perform? How many will
die before aid reaches them?

NKOST of us had assumed
J l that Lincoln s birthday
was made a national nonpar-
tisan legal holiday that trlb-
ute may be paid to him; but
looking over the newspaper
reports of the dinners and
celebrations, it appears that
it is not Lincoln, but the Re-
publican party of today, for
whom the day has been set
aside. Members of the Cabi-
net and Senator Watson, Re-
publican leader in the Sem
ate, Jared forth with their
speeches in manuscript, after
copies had been left with the
Republican national commit
tee for distribution by that
EN- inent Lincolnian, Mr..
Lucas. These took up many
columns of the papers. In
reading these speeches one
has difficulty in fin din g
much about Lincoln.
While Lincoln s name was
on the menu cards, it was
Hoover name that was on
the lips of the orators.
A suspicious soul might
conclude that the plan was to
slip Lincoln from the pedes-
tai and substitute Mr.. Hoover
without any one noticing
the change. But the features,
as we'll as the principles and
philosophy, of the two men
are so glaringly different
that most of us caught the
substitution at once. They
neither look nor act alike.
Lincoln believed that "the
principles of jefferson are
the d e efinitions and the
axioms of a free society,"

An Afterthought
Of Party Policy

We we're impressed with
one statement by Senator
Watson:
"There seems to be an OBJ
session in certain quarters
here that Europe should
settle Americas problems,
while America should settle
Europe's debts. Such is not
the conception of the Presi-
dent of the United States and
such action will never meet
with his approval"
Perhaps this is an after
thought of party policy.
NJ. Laval, after his secret
conferences with Mr.. Hoover,
returned to France with an
assurance to his people that
there would be a scaling
down or cancellation" of
the debts. That is the i'm
preston Laval got from his
conversations.
Then came the Presidents
proposal to recreate the War
Finance Corporation. Why?
To consider the debt prob
lem. To recommend an in
crease in the debts? OF
course not. What, if not to
"consider capacity to pay"
and to recommend another
reduction in the debts with

Hoover Big Figure;
Lincoln Only Casual

The keynote sentence OF
most of these panegyrics of
Mr.. Hoover-for Mr.. Lin
coin was only mentioned
casually-was that he is the
greatest of our leaders; and
one Undersecretary, in the
intoxication of his rhetoric,
pronounced him the "leader
of the world" Another re-
minded us that he is an
"expert "-and that was
painfully remin S C n t of
1928, when, through expert
management, we were going

days of Harding had "put

SMOKY MOUNTAINS
PLAN PASSION PLAY
Would Preserve Ancient Music
and Folklore.

Boone, N. C.-Ballads, native GUS
toms, culture and folklore Of the
great Smoky mountains may form the
basis upon which a great passion
play" patterned somewhat after that
Of Oberammergau, will be built.
The idea, conceived by Prof. I. G.
Greer of the Appalachian State
Teachers college here, is as yet only
an idea, but its enthusiastic recep-
ton leads the professor to hope that
he may see it executed fully within
the next decade.
Coming Of modern days to the
mountains, with good roads, accred-
tied schools and radios, has brought
fear that the old ballads handed down
for generations by mountaineers might
be lost. Mountain youth is singing
jazz instead of the songs its father
sang.
The ballads go back to early Eng
fish times, no one knows how far.
Generations have not only preserved.
but have embellished and heightened
them. The greater part of them are
sorrowful, rhythmic, mournful echoes
Of the sternness Of the mountain
GERS life, as it was that of medieval
peoples.
Singers taking part would be ma
tives, Greer said, for trained voices
cannot interpret the simple songs.
It is explained that ballads differ
from folk songs in that they are i'm
personal and record the experiences
Of others, while the folk song records
the joys of tribulations Of the singer.
Professor Greer's idea visions a
sort Of amphitheater in a mountain
setting where these ballads would not
only be sung, but their long, droning
stories would be acted out.
National park service officials have
expressed favor for Greer's idea of
creating a passion play of the noun
tains, and have promised support
Musicians in many parts Of the coun-
try have expressed interest.
Other moves to preserve this
quaint music have been made by

Of North Carolina faculty, who is now
engaged in writing an opera Of the

1t is not the marriage itself which
concerns me, for that is a matter
which every widow or widower must

and sometimes the embarrassment
which arise among those who are

give me subject for thought. What
attitude should one take to those who
have departed this life, and who have
gone on to other worlds?

Now what can one say in such a
situation excepting to reaffirm the
fact that the article in question GER
tainly is knockout.
"What are you going to write to
Carrie and Frank?" Peters asked me
a few nights ago. He had evidently
just received, as l had, the announce
ment of the marriage of two of our
rather intimate acquaintance, each
of whom had previously been married
and whose partners we had known
well. That was exactly what l had
been considering in my mind, and not
being able to think Of anything suffi-
GENTLY felicitous, had written moth
ing.
Well. what should one say in such
situation? Should he let the past take
care of itself and make no reference
to it, or what? l am still uncertain,
and that is why second marriages are
sometimes an embarrassment to me.

Two hundred grams Of the precious

fessor Of mining at University of AL

Syndicating operations have corraled
all the territory in which the pitch
blende is supposed to lie-as they have
the known goldfields-so that rush"
of prospectors generally would not net
them anything. However, there has

extreme importance of radium to the

chief problem is how to get it out
there being no railway and the trail
being too long and hard for carriage
otherwise than by airplane. And the
capacity Of airplanes to carry heavy
ores is very limited.
The deposits are at La Bine Point,
Great Bear lake. Hugh A. Spence,
mineral technologist of the Dominion
department Of mines at Ottawa, has
examined the deposits and pronounced
them very valuable. Discovery was
made in the spring of 1880 by Gilbert

been done in opening.
