beneficiaries Of privilege in
government and the exploit
ers of the people.
He may be sure of one
thing-they will be against
him.
For they will be against
any one, or any party, with
whom they cannot make a
bargain. This element, hav-
ing no ideals and merely an
appetite, has no party devo-
tion. 1t does not really care
whether the man in power is
a Democrat or Republican,
so long as he is its man. 1t
prefers the party with Ham
iltonian principles to the
party with Jeffersonian prin-
ciples, because one is the
party of privilege and the
other the party of equal
rights. But above all it
wants to be in with the man
in power. The party label
does not concern it much.
just now, because of the
ghastly mess in which the
people find themselves
under the guidance of those
now in office, there is every
indication that the opposi-
tion will be swept into
power. We should not be
surprised, therefore, to find
the privileged and the ex-
ploiters engaged before long
in a rather brazen filtration
with Mr.. Roosevelt.
But it would be platonic
love.

Silly Furore
Measure of Fear

Of similar significance is
the lifting of the eyebrows Of
the genteel, because of that
reeking red phrase Of Mr..
Roosevelt" -"The forgotten
man" Only a wild radical
surely would have such a
dreadful thought. AS though
there has been any forgot
ten man in America in the
last ten years!
The silly furore over the
phrase again measures the
fear-for it is a very ex-
pressive phrase and a most
effective one in describing
just what has happened to
America, and why it has
happened. So there was
nothing to do but dub Roose-
velt a frothing radical.
Meanwhile we note a
kindly disposition on the
part of those mostly respons-
ible for the, gluttony and
greed of those who have not
been forgotten in govern

even the longest journey.
Tunis is famous, too, for its
glorious flower gardens, and
its many flower stalls, filled to
overflowing with glorious bur
dens of color and fragrance.
Two thousand years ago the
Romans near here turned arid
desert lands into gardens
through a marvellous system of
irrigation, and today one can
still see the remains Of con.
duitS and aqueducts that
watered the great Carthaginian
plain.
Indeed, even more interesting
is a circular basin built by the
Arabs more than 1900 years
ago, and still functioning by
supplying water to many miles
of surrounding territory.
Visitors to Moorish villas are
always impressed with the
lovely patios. with their gaily
patterned and vividly colored
moSaics and the rich profusion
of flowers that marks almost
every garden.
Thickly foliaged trees, many
Of them bearing blossoms; the
tinkling Of fountains; the heavy
scent of some of the flowers,
make each garden a bit of para
disc. Many gardens have wall
seats done in colorful tiles set
in bowers of purple bougain-
villea. with a flooring done in
the palest lavender.

Men and Their Friends

Men and Their Friends
Perhaps it is true that men
are only boys grown tall.
Wives might do well to pom

Too many wives object
strongly to the diversions their
husbands enjoy.
There is a quarrel, tears,
when husband suggests that he
would like to take a trip with
other men.
The assertion that wife Is
to be left at home creates a
family jar in which many silly
statements are made, pro and

serious accusations.

How Is Hoover
To Raise Five Million?

Meanwhile, we may be
sure of one thing-this ele-
ment, unless it can enter
into an agreement with Mr..
Roosevelt, Of which he is
morally incapable, will exert
itself to the utmost, in a
more subterranean manner
than usual, to continue in
power the men who have
been subservient to it, to the
nations undoing.
The press, the other day,
carried a story regarding
campaign funds that ought
to be of interest to the great

When a woman has been mar

clutches at a stray compliment,
carries it before her husband as
triumphantly as she would a
vindication.
When a woman recalls what
a struggle she had getting her
husband to the altar, it must
seem like sheer, wilful waste to
shoot him, when she might
hand him over to some sweet
young thing who has been
waiting for just such break.

time he was so he had made a good deal Of
money in the grain business. but he had never
married. Folks around town used to say that
he was too stingy to support a wife. I suspect
that was partly true, for he was selfish and,
moreover, he had a lot of mean streaks that
cropped out now and then, like short weighing
a farmers grain or closing down on a mortgage
without giving fellow another chance.
Then all of a. sudden he ups and marries
Miriam Netteton. She was only % and right
pretty. Outside of a few buggy rides there

Of course, there was a good deal of talk. Some

had wife long before, but somehow could

thing. there was TOO much difference in their
ages, guess.
There wasn't any fanfare about the we'd
ding. They just got their license at the county
seat and then went down to Squire Jones'
house for the ceremony. Naturally Ed didn't
want big wedding a honeymoon, for they
cost money, even in those days.

ing there and expect it was sight for a
woman to behold for they said he had not
changed things since his mothers death, 10
years before. have an idea, though, that
that was prompted by economy rather than
sentiment.
Miriam was the daughter of a preacher
whose wife died shortly after he took charge
in Plainville. Some of the folks who had got
acquainted with her said she glad to die,
just to get away from him. He thought young
people who laughed were straight on the road
to hell and, of course, didn't allow Miriam to
have many social affairs.
LAS remember it, Miriam was ready for her
final year in college when her father passed on
to whatever reward was awaiting him. She
couldn't 60 back to school. for the Rev. Mr..

OF course, she had to move out of the parson-
