AYERS the Charleston Is. c. Evening
Post (Democratic), "all the elements Of
a sound economy, but the defiation has
been SO rapid and 50 terrific that the
pubic morale has been broken and
there Is almost an epidemic of despair
II this can be halted and courage and
confidence recalled, quick recovery
may be brought about"
The purpose of the corporation, as
denned by the New York Herald Tri-
pune tRepublican) Is ito help those
DankS with which for the most part the
little fellow deals and on which he de-
pends, TO rescue those insurance com
panies which find themselves hard
pressed for money to meet the avalanche
OF loans demanded by INDECENT policy
holders and to save from bankruptcy
the railroads that furnish the securities
by which these institutions live"
More Government in business" ex-
claims the Lynchburg News Demo
cratlcl, but not a word out of those
VINO Tor so long have rallied against
government in business. It illustrates
what has often been noted, which Is the
cry against Government in business
comes when Government is undertaking
to make business behave itself and not
When IL undertakes to give IL assist
ance. That Government has come to
the assistance of business at times is
true, and 1t Is perhaps true that, gen.
orally speaking, President Hoover's rec
concentrations are good ones even n
the realists have no hope whatever that
they will prove panaceas, but 1t is to
be hoped that nobody whose special
privileges are being hurt BY future pro-
posed legislation will have the brass to
squeal about the iniquity of Govern
ment in business"
Favor1ng the removal of excessiyr
tariff barricades, the Asbury Park Eve
ming Press independent Democraticl
declares that st is vain hope to sup
pose that tnf1ationary articles can def
nltely remedy situation for which the
initiation Of few years ago is directly
responsible The Yakima Daily Re-
public independently offers the criti-
clsm: All such proposals mean more
debt or more taxes or both. In the
last analysis the Hoover scheme means
Government interfering more in bust
ness and taking away from the i1di-
ViduaI citizen some of his opportunities
and taxing him for his loss Thought
less people turn to the Government for
all sorts Of help or relief in their
strictly business undertakings. Coy
eminent never yet has come. along on
a pretense of helping that 1t has not
hurt in the end. The Hoover scheme is
based on a principle that has been so
thoroughly discredited in actual expert
ence up to date that the man who
proposes 1t should be run off the lot"

He who thinks to escape the petty
mental irritations arising from contact
with other human beings is laying up
trouble for himself. He is going to be
fooled
There is no. getting away from these
small, everyday irritations, resulting
not only from conflicts of opinion but
also through sheer iuxtaposition.
Human beings were never made TO
live as close together as they do. That
Is the big fault Of the city.
But even if one were able to escape
mental friction, he ought not to want
to do so. It would not be good for him
If he could.
Such antagonisms make thoughts,
and thoughts are the very food of life. 1t
will not make much difference whether
these are great thoughts or new
thoughts. 1t Is given only to few to
think greatly and to be original.
Some thinkers even have questioned
the possibility of strictly new thoughts.
One of the Oldest ideas in the world is
that the round Of nature is eternal and
that what will be is what has been.
X X X x
The value Of antagoniSmS in the
every day life is often overlooked by
plain human beings who would like
nothing better than to live so that
peace and happiness would be theirs
every day of their lives.
Trends of thought over the centuries
conspire with them in this happy
dream. A few human beings have been
able to realize 1t, but most have been
forced to regard it as the paradise Of
the future.
They are fortunate. For, constituted
as we are, conflict is necessary for a
human being to bring out the best that
is in him.
The mental conflict is the essential
type. Physical battles settle little. and
are productive only of anger. Intel
lectual antagOniSmS, en- the other hand,
produce a minimum of brute anger.
Their yield of good is in proportion to
the brains which fight the battles.
People with ordinary common sense
can manage to come out of intellectual
battles with their brains still working
They need not brood over defeat, but
may discover something of gain in
every blow.
More than that, they are able to
keep the ideas which come to them
from the conflict. 1t is here that the
ordinary everyday mental irritations
shine in particular.
X X X X
No matter how irritated one may
become over the views of others or as
the result of certain mannerisms in the
way they are put. it is always possible
TO realize the truth when one hears it.
And this is possible whether the
nearer is able to admit it or not, even
to himself. For there is a quality in
truth which works its way quietly into
the human mind and heart.
1t hits home whether one realizes it
or not at the time, especially whether
he admits it to others. After all, man
kind seems to have put too much stress
on verbal admittances. Through the
centuries man has seemed to work on
the theory that all that was necessary
for establishing the truth of any propo-
sition was to get lip service to it.
A man was regarded with such dis
taste for his expressed ideas that he
was put to the tortures, but the mo-
ment he would say what the torturerS
wanted him to say he would be received
as a brother.

Capitol Guides.

Representative Cochran OF Missouri
has announced his intention to ask the
House Committee on Accounts to con-
slider the introduction of a bill pro-
viding for the establishment Of free
Capitol guide service. The situation at
present, he declares, Is outrageous In
that Congress, by It's failure to tstab-
lish proper guiding system, is in effect
making the citizens pay for the privilege
Of inspecting the Capitol and thus
"condones the worst form of petty
graft"
This matter has bsen repeatedly
brought to attention, but nothing has
been done. The visitors to the Capitol
are not required to engage the services
Of authorized" guides who are regis
tered and are fully competent to con-
duct people through the building, but
the practice Of escorting parties about
under these auspices has become so
firmly established that it is recognized
as virtually the only way in which
Strangers can be accommodated. No
other guides are allowed to enter the
building for the purpose of escorting
parties.
There should be no fee service of this
character In any of the public buildings
in Washington. The guides chosen by
process of careful selection should be
salaried and all fees and tips should be
forbidden. 1t is desirable that every
person visiting this city for the first
time should be given the fullest possible
access and the most informative &C
count of the history and uses OF the
structure, without cost.
1t is expected that great numbers OF
people will come to Washington during
the present year in observance Of the
bicentennial of the birth of the first
President. The fees and tips paid to
the Capitol guides by them will amount
to a large sum in the aggregate
veritable tax upon the patriotism of the
visitors. The Capitol will be the only
place at the seat of government where
this practice prevails, and the effect will
be to create the impression Of private
enterprise for the benefit of few IA
vored persons In the exploitation of the
national state house." which is always
the chief point of interest to visitors.
Representative Cochran's hope is that
action will be had promptly to permit
the establishment of free official guide
system for the first influx Of Bicen-
tennial guests. The measure which he
suggests could easily be framed and
enacted in season, If there is dis
position at the Capitol to put an end
to a practice that has long been OBJ
noxious and that has no justification
for continuance.

at work clearing the site and excavation
and foundation contracts will shortly
be let. Farther eastward Is the actual
apex of the triangle, which Is to be
cleared for inclusion in the park de-
velopment fianking the series of struc-
lures and completing the great
thoroughfare newly designated as Con-
stitution avenue. In a few weeks all
Of the old buildings in the eastern
section of the triangle south OF Penn
sylvan!a avenue will have been de-
stroyed. There will then remain only
the block between Tenth and Eleventh
streets, which will eventually be in
cluded in the great construction now
started with the Internal Revenue unit,
facing on Constitution avenue, and the
former Southern Railway Building and
its immediate neighbors, which will fall
before the destroyers when the plans
for the final unit of the group, adjacent
to the District Building, have been
perfected.
Excavation work is proceeding for the
Departments of Labor and Post ONCE
and the Interstate Commerce Building,
between Twelfth, Fourteenth and Thir-
tenth streets. Foundation work is like
wise proceeding there in part and in
the Department Of Justice site, between
Ninth and Tenth streets. Rapid prog
ress is being made there. In very
few months construction work will be-
gin, and then the tangible evidences Of
the great plan will begin to show in
more definite form.
Recently former Gov. Smith Of New
York In public address In this city
chided the Government for continuing
to pay large rentals for quarters for its
Offices and urged the adoption Of
broad public building program, as a
measure Of economy and to give en-
ployment TO now idle workmen. No eX-
PLANTATION has been offered of this
astonishing tack of perception of very
tangible fact, apparent to anybody who

eyes open for evidences of activity in
the carrying out of just such program
conceived long ago and under way for
half a decade.
Washington expects to receive many
thousands of visitors during the present
year of the George Washington Bicen-
tennial, to whom these tokens of Capital
building on great scale will be pointed
out with pride and satisfaction. 1t
would, of course, be happier if this work
could have been completed in season for
the national festival observance. But
the ragged walls of disappearing ole
structures, the vast pits Of mud that
are evolving into foundations and the
towering cranes of the construction out
fit that now make picture of unlovely
disarray will be shown as the signs OF
advancement toward an early consum-
nation of great plan that will place
Washington in the front of all capitals
of the world as a fitting exemplar of
American progress and development.

bridge, which would then be aban-
doned. If that Is adopted 1t should re-
suit in the replacement Of the present
Highway Bridge with structure more
suitable than that truss span. The
contrast between the present Highway
Bridge and the Memorial and Key
Bridges is strikingly unpleasant. 1t

monies with its neighbors. There will
then remain only the Chain Bridge, If
that is still in use at that time. TO mar

their own. But Mr.. Garner, even If
he does not have the nomination him.
self, may be in position to throw the
IeXaS delegation to the man who will
win at the psychological moment, which
is something to think about.
Not since 1924 has there been such
scramble for the Democratic nomi-
nation for President. In 1923, former
Gov. Alfred e. Smith had the norni-
nation well in hand long before the
national convention met in Houston.
Indeed, IN the fall of 1927 it was ap-
parent that there was to be no stop
ping the Smith bandwagon. There
were protests from the South, but the
Southerners had no rallying post. The
taVor1te son candidates melted away in
Houston like the snow beneath a Sum-
mer sun. But this year these seems
to be a let of bitterness, fostered by
the Democratic leaders themselves, over
the nomination. Whether this bitter
ness reaches down to the rank and file
OF the Democrats throughout the coun-
try has not yet been demonstrated.
II reports are to be believed, there is
a growing demand on the part Of many
OF the Smith adherents in 1928 to have
their champion get into the race Tor
the Democratic nomination again. Gov.
Smith has taken no definite step yet to
halt this drive for his nomination. He
may make his own position with regard
to the presidential race clear at any
time. If he does get into the race for
the nomination there is likely to be the
hottest kind of a fight both before the
convention end during it.
The agitation for an investigation of
short selling" on the New York Stock
Exchange and other exchanges of the
country is growing. The agitation
