OAK RETREAT

Tribute to Mrs. B. F. Morrow on
her birthday

years
For a magic, crystal spring,
Where mountain air and sunshine
Eternal youth would bring.
He died a disappointed man.
Acknowledging defeat,
But | have found the place he

Its name is Oak Retreat.
Here Nature donates lavishly
On mountain side and dell,
From morn till night is a delight
And moonbeams weave a spell.
Here you can forget your worries,
Likewise the summer heat;
Such things as these do not exist
At charming Oak Retreat.

Wnere you md a graceful hostess,
A living proof is she
That we have found domain,
where
Youth reigns eternally.
For the years have only made her
More beautiful and sweet;

NOTE TO INNKEEPERS


We homefolks know of many
places to go; of the too strenu.
Gus social and business demands
upon our time but our visitors
feel a little lonely for free en-
tertainment to while away the
time. These programs are arrang-
ed for their benefit. 1t is up to
all of us, especially every house
that entertains guests, to help
them with their recreation prob
lens. Please post this program
permanently for the information
Of your guests.
Another suggestion: Wouldn't
it be helpful information to your
guests if you would create a
small bulletin space for informa-
ton about all public events in
the community, consulting theatre
programs, newspapers, circulars
and other advertising mediums
for such dates and events. This
would be just another service to
your guests who don't have the
facilities for learning things that
YOU do. We must be alert as to
their comfort and enjoyment.

WISE WORDS

There are certain tears which
often deceive ourselves, after
having deceived others.
Fortune displays our virtues
and our vices, as light makes
all objects apparent.
We ought only to be aston
ished that we are still able to
be astonished.
We should have very little
pleasure if we did not some
times flatter ourselves.
For these things it is meet to
give the gods thank-offerings
long NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
There are as many springs as
there are years, and glad or
sad, we love this dear old earth.
Louise C. Moulton.
The true method of being de-
ceived is to think oneself more
cunning than others.
The pig that has two owners
is sure to die of hunger.
There are some silly people
who know themselves and make
a clever use Of their Stiffness.

Hoover Had Not Been
Trained to Politics

Aside from his policies,
which I do not intend to dis
cuss now, I think there is
another explanation of his
failure to hold the people.
He was essentially a bust
ness man the first real
business man in the presi-
dency. His training and
temperament were those Of
a man of business enter
prises. He had not been
trained to craftsmanship or
politics. He was unhappy
in dealing with men. He
failed notably in his deal
ings with the members Of
Congress. He lacked the
finesse Of jefferson, who
had the art of insinuating
his wishes into the mind of
the listener, and he lacked
the dynamic driving power
of a jackson or Theodore
Roosevelt to force acqul-
escence to his views.
This hurt him in the prac-
tical work of craftsmanship.
And then, somehow, he
lacked the knack of win
ming the press; due again,
I think, to his lack Of politi-
cal training. He rubbed too
many of the Washington
correspondents the wrong
way. This began as early
as the campaign of 1928.
But all this is now water
over the dam. It. may be
assumed that he did what
he thought was proper. He
has been attacked, some
times savagely, but no more
so than many others in pub
lie life. Certainly no more
than Wilson; not nearly so
much as jackson. Most of
the attacks, however, were
aimed at his policies.

ONCE OVERS

Maybe you boast of honesty.
Unless there is something
about you that is dishonest,
and you know it, there should
not be any reason for trying
to impress others with your
honesty.
Naturally people become
skeptical about the person who
is constantly Dragging about
his or her probity.
If a man is straight why
should he allude to the fact?
If a person is not straight
there may be reason for want
ing to make others trust that
one, hence the reiterations
about ''how honest I am"
Really honest people expect
to be trusted.
1t is well not to leave any
openings favorable to dishonest
practice with the one who
who seeks to impress you with
his personal reliability.
Usually he is trying TO make
you a 7ictim of any unfair
plan he may have.
If you are given to boaSting
of what a square shooter you
are, you are merely warning
people against you.

How about it, old man, don't
you often cause embarrassment
to members of your family by
your violations of what is con-
Sidered good table manners?
"All tommy rot" you say.
You can't see what difference
it makes whether you dip your
soup toward you or from you,
or why you should be particular
to take it from the side of your
spoon.
Why should anyone object if
you do rest your left forearm
on the table?
You like to lean way over
your plate, duck your head as
you take bite and why should
anyone criticize you for it?
Taking hold of your knife or
fork down near the blade or
the tines should not cause others
to censure, you think.
Sticking your fork into a
piece of meat as if it were a
pitchfork and holding it so
while you cut the food is an
other of your pet positions.
Resting the blade of your
knife on the edge of your plate
and the handle on the table
cloth seems to you an easy way
to take care Of It.

Two Instances of Trouble
In Transfer of Power

The only other time, if we
except 1860, when war long
in preparation was unavoid-
able, when the peace of the
nation was threatened in
the transfer of power, was
IN 1876. Samuel j. Tilden, a
great statesman and pure
patriot, had a clear majority
of the popular vote and of
the Electoral College.
We were still living under
the shadow of the sword
with corruption rampant,
and the conspiracy was
launched to change the elec-
toral vote as declared by
counting in enough defeated
electors in three States to
defeat Tilden. We need not
go into the long story here.
1t was shameful enough.
Roscoe Conkling asked one
of Tilden's friends if they
intended to stand for the
outrage. Offers of volun-
teer soldiers poured in on
Tilden. Had he at that time
merely said one thing:
Il have been elected and
shall at the proper time
take the oath of Office
There is every reason to
believe that the conspirators
would have abandoned their
project.
The Washington times., 1933-03-07

But Tilden was a man OF
peace and he wanted no in
ternecine strife. He agreed
to a legal device for the
settlement, admitting thus
that there was a question as
to his election, and from
that moment he was de-
feated.
These are the only two
instances in our history
where there has been the
slightest trouble IN the
transfer of power.
President Hoover has ac-
cepted the verdict Of the
people in good spirit and he
retired to private life with
the best wishes Of all Amerl-
cans for his future happl-
ness. He has been unfortu-
nate in the presidency, and
I have no intent to predict
here the ultimate verdict OF
history.
He was unfortunate in
the depression.
But he was most unfortu-
nate in that he had so long
been pictured to the people
as a miracle man." capable
of anything.
Nothing can be so provok-
ing as a brilliant introduce
ton to a dull volume, and
nothing so dangerous as
overstatement regarding a
mans capacity.
He was unfortunate III
that he came into the Ameri-
can peoples consciousness
against the background of
war and when emotionalism
ran riot. To popularize the
relief work and the food ad-
ministration it was thought
necessary to make the ad-
ministrator something more
than human. It may be
doubted whether any Ameri-
can, unless it be Lindbergh,
has ever been converted so
nearly into a veritable god
as Mr.. Hoover.
All that disadvantage
might have worn off had
the idea not been embel-
lished by his thoughtless
friends and, partly, by some
utterances Of his own in
1928. Bearing in mind the
childish faith that printers
ink imparts to millions, his
unhappy reference to the
elimination of poverty was
i'll advised.
And when the depression
came, too many millions,
who had believed, turned
upon him all the more
fiercely.

LISTEN, WORLD!
By Elsie Robinson

reading over your shoulder,
lady-then read him this:
1.-The share that women have
traditionally taken in American
life" says Mrs. Lane, has
weakened the man, in the
sense that he has always had
a partner in his undertakings
someone to share the re-
sponsibility and the blame if
things go wrong" Also:
"The American man knows
in his heart that. if he gives
up in despair. his woman will
come to the rescue. He knows
that if he can't hold a job his
wife will. All these influences
are weakening"
Not so easy for the Sturdy
Oaks to take! But there's
worse to follow. Independent
women. according to Mrs. Lane,
raise Cain with masculine ego
tism-give the Lords of Crea-
ton no chance to strut their
stuff. Whereupon, away goes
Romance! For if the Big Boy
can't be boss, he refuses to
play.
Men need more food for
their essential vanity than
they've had from American
women. 1t was the American
woman, with the Characters
tically feminine ability to rec
ognize facts, who invented the
$3.50 marriage" American
marriages had always been on
a $3.50 basis, and she saw no
harm in acknowledging the fact.
But most of those marriages
went to pieces because the man
couldn't stand public admission
of partnership with a woman.
1T SEEMS TO BE ALMOST
IMPOSSIBLE FOR A MAN TO
KEEP HIS INTEGRITY, HIS
ESSENTIAL SELF-RESPECT,
ON A BASIS OF EQUALITY
WITH WOMEN. IF HE CAN'T
BELIEVE HIMSELF SUPE-
RIOR, HE BECOMES ACTUAL
LY INFERIOR"
So, there!
And now it's your turn.
How about your friends; your
own family circle?
Are the wives and mothers
of your acquaintance making
"softies" of their husbands and
sons by carrying their burdens?
Are they doing this just be-
cause they're brave and big
hearted, as Rose Wilder Lane
suggests?
Or are they, maybe, doing it
because they like to show off?
Whatever the motive, what's
the effect on the man?
Is he really helped, or is he
hindered?
Is he grateful, or Inundated?
Which do you think he should
be?
And what's it going to do to
the human race?
Will we all be bigger, braver,
brighter humans if men and
and women are really equal?
Or were the sexes intended to
be unequal-and will old Mrs.
Nature make us plenty sorry if
we mess things up?
If you're a woman, what's
your answer?
If you're a mana mad, mad,
mad male-what's yours?

on for the team.
And what was your answer?
Was it, possibly, the same as
Rose Wilder Lanes?
Rose Wilder Lane has just
written a book, LET THE
HURRICANE ROAR" a grand
boob about a grand woman-
brave Bride Caroline, pioneer
ing in the early Dakotas, civ
ing alone in her dugout home,
fighting the terror of snow
and wind and marauding wolves
until her husband could come
back"
And then, having given us
a picture of pioneer wife,
what does Mrs. Lane think
about modern women? And of
modern men? Are strong wives
a good thing fo1 men, or a
bad thing? And do gentlemen
prefer 'em brave and brawny,
or 'eak and wobbly? Wait
until you catch your husband

TO-DAY American institu-
tions in their functioning
are again vindicated when,
peaceably and in good ma
ture, the Government has
passed from the control of
one political party to an
other. The orderly processes
of a democracy operating
under constitutional restric-
tions seem, to some of us.
infinitely happier than the
methods of violence which
usually usher in Dictator
ships depending on the
sword.
From the formation of the
Government down to the
present time the republic
has been endangered only
twice in the transfer Of
power.
The first time came early
in our history, when the
Federalists, after - years
Of domination, were over
thrown by the Democracy
under the leadership Of JEFF
ferson.
The trouble that year was
due, in large measure, to the
fact that the Jeffersonians
had been drilled too meticu-
lously to party regularity.
Under the original provision
of the Constit ition each
voted for two men, with the
understanding that the one
receiving a majority should
be the President and his
closest competitor should
have second place. The re-
suit was not so good in 1896
because it meant a divided
Government, A dams, the
Federalist, being chos sen
President and jefferson, the
Democrat, Vice President.
The Washington times., 1933-03-07
Conspiracy Was
Defeated

In the next four years the
Jeffersonians intensively or
ganized and drilled strict
party regularity into their
members. AS the campaign
approached, a Democratic
congressional caucus nomi-
mated jefferson for Presi-
dent and Aaron Burr for
Vice President. Had prece-
dent been followed there
would have been a scatter
ing Of the votes on the
Vice Presidency, with Burr
in the lead.
But the Democrats fol-
lowed the caucus and voted
for both men, resulting in a
tie, which threw the elec-
ton into the House. There
upon the Federalists, of the
lame duck Congress, who
hated jefferson, entered
into a conspiracy to elect
Burr. Had this conspiracy
succeeded it would have
meant the instant disruption
Of the Union. It might have
succeeded but for the pa
triotism of Alexander Ham
ilton, who bitterly protested
against the proposed be-
trayal and influenced enough
Federalists to prevent its
consummation.
