NORRIS ASSA|LS
HOOVER AND FORD.
Declares President Wavered
Between Parties Before
He Became Republican.

By the Associated Press.
MACKINAW DELLS, ILL.,, october
21-Senator George w. Norris, Ne
braska. Republican, campaigning for
Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt, yesterday
termed President Hoover "a Jonah in
TIE ship of state" and urged:
Lets throw the false prophet over
board and elect new captain for the
ship
Norris spoke at Democratic rally
here.
Senator Norris denounced President
Hoover for allegediy wavering between
the two major parties before he en-
tered President Hardings cabinet, and
Henry Ford for his address in support
of the President.
Speaking of the Republican candi-
date, Norris declared:
Il do not condemn the man because
he spent much OF his early life abroad,
but why this attempt to deceive the
American public?
Hoover became Republican at noon
on March 4, 1921, when he took his
oath of office in the Harding cabinet as
Secretary of Commerce, Senator Nor
ris declared.
Senator Norris then turned his at
tack upon Ford, stating:
Ford made a statement in a recent
radio address to the effect that he never
discusses politics unless he has some
interest in it.
1t was Ford who was largely re-
sponsible for the widespread policy of
mortgaging the future by installment
buying, a policy which has done more
to bring the country to the condition
which it is now in than any other one
thing. Hoover also believes in this pol
icy and the policy that few men are
born to rule, many to serve
Ford has an interest in politics at
this time because IL is anxious that
that policy continue in order that he
may go on adding 20 his fortune and
power by the sale OF his product on the
installment plan"

Years End and
Its Beginning

WHOEVER It was that invented
w the year as division of time
should share in the blessings invoked
by Sancho Panza upon the man who
invented sleep. With the latter comes
surcease from the cares and worries
Of the day and a renewal of spirits
for the struggles of the morrow. The
years end is also not only a sleep
and a forgetting of things fled beyond
redemption, but with its passing hours
come the many-hued hopes that keep
ever fresh and buoyant the human
soul and make radiant again the paths
that lead humanity into the unknown
future.
The old year falls from our hands
like the stem Of rose whose leaves,
one by one, month by month, have
silently dropped away into the void of
time, some laden with the fragrance
Of pleasant memories, some with the
pallid tints and withered aspects Of
misfortunes and griefs unacceptable
and irreparable and some with dust
Of dreams shattered beyond recall.
But, at the birth of another New Year,
Time brings to the hands of each Of
us a fresh bud from it's eternal tree,
the secrets Of whose close-folded leaf
age no eye can penetrate, no conjec-
ture of wisdom fathom. Yet within
its depths we can scent the sweet
and inspiring arOmaS of the hopes
that spring eternal in the human
breast, of hidden joys that hold fresh
promises of full Dlossoming, of good
deeds to be done for us and by us, of
the blessings Of peace, good will and
prosperity again made possible for us,
and of the gardens Of opportunity
whose gates are swinging wide open
for us.
Always in the cycle of human af-
fairs the Spring of Hope follows the
Winter of Discomfort. And New
Years day is the symbol of human
neutrality-suspicious. as well as utilf-
tarian-and of the clearing process of
the souls past accumulations, making
ready for the building of its more
stately mansions" 1t may be Fate
that guides the hand Of Time in plac-
ing in our grasp the new bud of prom
ise. but each of us may do much to
further its proper blossoming, to keep
fresh its fragrance. to shape into full
fruition the enjoyment of the unfold
ing, month by month. and day by day,
of the flower of the year whose I'M
opened months lie before us.-Kansas
City Star.

Swearing Off
and Taking On

DEOPLE who do not wish to better
L themselves are few.
It is not hard for the average person
to see all about him the privileges,
opportunities and facilities for adj
vancement which would place him in a
position he does not but would like
to occupy.
Too often these advantages are al
lowed to go unemployed and why?
In many cases there seems to be u
sort of equilibrium between desire and
lack Of motive power, which some
slight thing or incident might incline
forward.
A salesman had talked for hours
with customer whom he did not wish
to leave without the order. There was
an impasse. Finally, opening his grip
in the hope of finding folder, card,
picture or other thing which would
upset the situation in his direction, he
spied couple of apples which he had
brought from home. He rolled one
across the desk to the customer and
customer took bite. munched it for
a moment, then said, "Well, we'll just
let 'er come that way" The deal was
closed, the order signed. So small a
thing as an apple had disturbed the
equilibrium and tipped an important
deal into the salesman's lap.
The custom of adopting New Year
resolutions is the apple which tips
many q mans course toward an i'm
proved program of living. 1t may be
the swearing off" of habits which he
no longer feels are credtable to him,
or it may be the taking on of others
which he believes will develop his
mental. moral, spiritual and physical
capacities, and gain for him greater
respect, If not admiration, among
those whose regard he would like to
keep. az
A comparatively small part of our
population avails itself of the superb
facilities of the public library in as
sociating with the best minds of all
ages and cleaning the treasures of his
tory, biography, phllosophy, poeliy' Ac
ligion and the sciences to be found
there; the opportunities for physical
Improvement afforded by municipal
golf courts, baseball grounds; fire.
quent lectures, concerts and occasional
operatlc performances; the priceless
capability of constructive thinking.
If you are standing at equilibrium,
New Years day is good time to bite
into the apple.

Rapid Printing of BraiIIe

Reading matter for the blind has
not been generally available for the
reason that under the older system
of Braille printing it was necessary
to make every dot by hand, SO that
reading matter for the blind was not
only scarce, but often prohibitory in
price. A great advance in this mat
ter is in recently invented rotary
press for the printing of Braille type
which has been installed at the Ma
tional Institute for the Blind in Lon
