Beer Regulation
Local Bill Must Pass

Congress should not delay in enacting bill regulating the
sale Of beer in the District
Already the professional dy have sought to becloud the
issue and enactment Of which would insure
wise and reasonable regulation Of the beer which is to be al
lowed under the modification of the Volstead act
These obstructive tactics should longer be tolerated
Attempts which made during the last session to work
out aht regulatory frustrated by the %
who maintained that there nothing to be gained at that time
by considering the bill
Those who opposed to alcoholic beverages in form
lose sight the fact that the local beer bill matter not ques
ton Of prohibition It is simply question Of regulation
The vets in the position of seeking to regulate
vved traffic in beer while the drys placing themselves in
the position of objecting to regulation.
We must have this regulation the benefits Of the returned
beer to be obtained without bringing back the worst evils
Of preprohbiton days.
There may be details in the pending District bills to which
objection might fairly be raised.
Any faults which exist however, speedily be eliminated
when is how the works in actual practice
For the faults which may be found in the bill the drys
consider themselves largely responsible IT, in the Of true
temperance they had worked with the sponsors Of beer to
feet the bill, it would probably be in better shape.

More Local Power
Senator Kings Plan Wise

Senator King starts his administration chairman Of the
Senate District Committee well by renewing his efforts to
enlarge the powers Of the Commissioners in dealing with
purely local problems
Local officials severely circumscrbed in managing
the affairs Of the city by Congressional and implied ma
tions.
The removal Of Of these restrictions advocated by
Senator King would be Of benefit not only the city but
to members Of Congress as well.
Senators and Representatives disncned naturally to
give to this city time which should be spent upon the affairs
Of the nation and of their individual constituencies
When they do devote their attention local affairs they
are doing at sacrifice.
To relieve them of the many petty District matters which
occupy them would be to follow the of
sense.
The delegation of power in these minor matters would
in any way conflict with the ultimate control of the National
Capital by Congress That control cannot and probably
should not. be shifted.
But it easily be made workable under the pro-
gram Of Senator King.

A N Italian girl, or rather
IA a good American girl
of Italian blood, has written
the President a beautiful
letter, pulsating with gen.
uine patriotism, in sending
him a fivesdollar gold piece
and a gold chain. 1t is her
simple contribution against
the collaborating semitrea-
son against the republic.
She proves the sincerity Of
her patriotism by withhold
ing her name. She is to
have no credit on this ac-
count.
Vast numbers of people
with very small amounts Of
boarded gold have sent them
in, and it is said that a very
large part of the boarded
gold recovered has come
from these. It is a tribute
to their patriotism, and also
to their respect for govern
ment.
Some hoarders Of great
amounts are said to have
turned in their gold, but
among this class there are
great numbers who have
not. These are among the
rich and the powerful, who
were in position to get gold
in the thousands and hun
dreds of thousands. They
still are hoarders; they still
are guilty of a sort Of trea-
son in a national crisis.
Some of the worst offend
ers, we are told, took out
their gold under a fictitious
name. But to the average
man it will seem incredible
that the banks that paid out
hundreds Of thousands in
gold to an individual did
not know who was getting
the money.
The names Of the hoard
ers who have not yet re-
turned their gold are being
assembled, it is said. Any
man with more than $780,
900 i'll gold boarded is not
entitled to the protection Of
the Government. Since we
are at war at this moment
against a national collapse
these wholesale hoarders
ought to be exposed and
pilloried.

Three-Minute Journeys
By TEMPLE MANNING

The beauty and the lowell
ness that linger the longest in
our mind and heart are those
that have been wrought by the
hand Of nature. And so it is
that when all thought of bus
Ting towns and stifling cities
are erased from our mind, that
we turn with joy to thought
Of the lovely, peaceful places
that rely on their scenic beauty
alone.
If anyone has ever visited
the Channel Islands they will
know what scenic beauty, lovely
and serene, really means. 1t
seems amazing that there
should be such beauty so near
the English mainland, when
one reflects what those isles of
paradise Guernsey, Jersey and
Sark) really are. Twenty-Five
miles from the French coast
and a short overnight run from
Southampton, England, and one
is in another world. And when
one reflects that there are no
such things as income taxes
and expensive personal and
house taxes, one knows that the
comparison with paradise Is
well made.
Like Another World
Of all of the Channel Islands
Sark is the most peaceful. 1t
is not so well known as its
neighbors, and hasn't many
man-made comforts, but If you

LISTEN, WORLD!
By Elsie Robinson

But, with the years, l saw
that this was so. With terror
at first - trying, vainly, to
escape from the secret COM
pulsion which would never let
me stay safe and still
wanted so to be safe. Why
should I go, loving home as I
did? Surely, no one ever loved
it more. Each cherished nook,
each humdrum habit, even the
smells of home-strong yellow
soap, and kerosene, and picking
spice, and freshly ironed sheets
Il loved them all. And those
dear faces which I knew by
heart. Why must I leave
them?
Yet I did!
No sooner had found a
little peace-struck root a bit
than something in me would
go gypsy mad, and off I'd go!
For what? And why? Didn't
7 know I'd be sorry? they
asked.
How could I answer? OF
course I knew I would be
sorry. More bitter lonely than
they'd ever dream. And fright
ened, too, riding my fright as
wild geese rode the storm
And yet I had to go!'
Go on, and on, and on
Away from peace and COM
fort, pleasure, honor, love-
Out and away
TO SEE WHAT ELSE
THERE WAS
TO SEE HOW FAR LIFE
TOOK YOU-IF YOU DARED
TO GO!
I was like that. Some peo-
pie were. Wild geese-they
must go on. Leave everything,
risk everything. for the chance
to see-for the chance to
know!
Wild geese-going on and
on. Hating their wildness,
even as they flew, dreading the
darkness; sobbing in their
pain; feeling, their hearts
wrung by the home lights, far
below.
Wild geese. Some people
were like that. Had to be.
And some people weren't like
that. Couldn't be.
Well, it was a big world.
There was need for us both.
Some to Stay-some to go. So
life carried on.

ONCE OVERS

Don't you want to be just
and companionable?
Don't you want to have the
respect of your family as well
as others?
Home is not the place for
uncomfortable fits Of anger.
Home is for self control.
You may be able to get out
side sympathy at first, but
when it becomes known that
you indulge in dramatics and
outbursts of temper when things
annoy you, you will find all
turn against you.
The secret of successful home
life lies in self-control and un-
selfishness, not in accusing
others constantly.

existence of beautiful simple
ity, then you really must visit
the island that rises out Of the
Channel like a grim, barren
rock, relieving so much OF the
green, reSplendent beauty that
it's brief dimensions encom-
pass.
For Sark is three and a half
miles long and six feet to one
and a half miles wide. The
coast itself is so broken that
one travels fully 40 miles to
completely encompass the Is
land,
Space forbids more than the
use of a few superlatives in
describing Sark. No place Of
fers such charm, such diversity
Of scenery, and, above all, such
Solace.
Its Natural Beauties
There are four hotels in Sark;
also boarding places and places
that can be rented. Even the
leading hotels charge a sum that
is ridiculously low, as travellers
view it. Erosion by the water
has wrought strange, fantastic
arches and clefts in many OF
the enormous cliffs and rocks.
Everywhere is the feeling that
life has passed this little island
by, but everywhere one is con-
scious of time. For the Island
of Sark shows at every turn the
handiwork of time, and, viewed
from afar, its rocky, grim con-
tours seem as though they might
well be the home Of Father Time
himself.

America Must Put
House In Order

These conditions, univer-

imperative the putting of
our own house in order.
Astonishing progress is

sive leadership we now have.
The banking system has
been caught at the edge of
the abyss and dragged back
to safety. Banks are more
dependable today than they
have been for a long while.
Those now open are safe.
Others will open later and
be safe when they open.
Vicious practices that so
nearly led to ruin are over,

these practices criminal and
impossible.

World Cannot
Finance New War

just now two movements
of tremendous meaning are
in progress-one here at
home, the other in Europe.
The failure of either may
easily mean a major disas-
ter. The failure Of the
worldwide movement on
arms may mean another
European war; and that
would mean the final col
lapse of our existing civili-
zation. Statesmen appear to
know it, they say it, and yet
they fail to act to prevent
it. This is insanity.
It is insanity, because the
world cannot finance an
other war.
It is insanity, because the
masses are in no mood for
another war.
The result would be that
Russian Communism would
spread over Europe with
lii g h t n in g rapidity; that
there would be a complete
end to the processes Of
civilization; or the man on
horseback would impose
upon mankind a universal
tyranny.

drawn me out ELSIE ROBINSON
Of my warm bed, down into
the garden-then left me
stranded in the terrible night.
Where had it gone, that safe
and solid daytime world? For
a small space around me there
was the old security-the rough,
hard pressure Of baked earth
beneath my feet; the loom Of
the lilac bushes; the wavering
paleneSs that was picket fence.
But beyond that, everything
fell away. Stopped. And an
other place began. An endless
emptiness, filled with vague,
moist movement-and a harsh,
honking cry, sweeping high
above me in the darkness.
Wild geese!
Why were they there, racing
through the night? Why were
they not in the quiet shelter of
the trees and barnyard, where
other birds found rest?
Birds had homes like people.
Homes they loved. Friendly
plants. Special spots for seeds.
Favorite ponds. Birds, like
people, loved to live close and
safe. Why, then, did some
birds leave their safe, snug
homes, to race so madly
through the dangerous dark?
Lis tening to their wild
Screams-the dimming thun-
der of their great wings-f
wondered. But I found no
answer. Nor did it occur to
me, then that the same restless
urge had drawn us both-the
wild geese and the shivering
child-out Of our warm beds
into the trackleSs night.

More Relief Plans
To Be Considered

With the farm bill finally
disposed of a plan for the
relief of the unemployed
will be offered-the best, we
hope, conditions will per-
NIT.
And then a railroad bill
to bring order out of chaos
and end waste. We are all
interested in this because of
the relation of railroad
bonds to insurance COM
panies and savings banks.
Here we have a program
ambitious beyond that of
any with which a new Ad-
ministration has gone into
power, but not only justi-
fled, but necessitated by the
critical conditions that were
found.
At length we are moving,
moving rapidly as an army
moves in action on a battle
field, moving under an in
telligent, confident, courage
GUS leadership, and toward
a certain goal.
And we are moving rap
idly because Congress and

cooperating with the lead

We have modified the Vol
stead act; and that will
mean jobs for vast numbers
of jobless men; and revenue,
that will help in balancing
the budget and in prevent
ing further increases in
taxes.
And now a farm aid bill,
frankly experimental in ma
ture, but devised after con-
sultations with experts, is
pending in Congress.
Aid to Farmers
Is Aid to Nation
Of course this measure is
experimental. The condi-
tions surrounding the ruin
of agriculture cannot be
reached by the old methods.
New m t h o ds must be
found, And anything new
is an experiment.
When an experiment is
proposed with the admission
that it is an experiment
and may be found futile, an
atmosphere favorable to the
solution of the problem has
been created.
Secretary Wallace in a
plain talk to the people in
their homes has made the
purpose clear:
"The basic purpose, first
of all, is to increase the
purchasing power Of farm
ers. It is, by that token,
farm relief, but it is also,
by the same token, national
relief, for it is true that
millions of urban unem-
ployed will have a better
chance of going back to
work when farm purchasing
power rises enough to buy
the products of city fac
tories. -
If the 3O,OOO,OOo people
on the farms, who can buy
nothing now, can be put
back in the purchasing
class, every factory in the
country would begin to
hum.
This measure pending
represents the united wis
dom of the most experienced
agriculturist experts in the
country. Their task was
exceedingly difficult. They
are satisfied that the plan
devised is the best that can
be found. The President
has accepted it as an ex-
pertinent, urged its adoption
and promised to advise its
abandonment if it should
prove a failure in operation.
1t means everything that
something is undertaken.

Of you farmers who entertain the
same ideas as he does, believe
there is an actual surplus in this
country with its II million work
ers and their families out of work
and wages? How can you believe
it? And if there is not an actual
surplus, how can the condition of
the farmers be improved in any
way, by crop reduction?
We ask this in ali condor AID
kindness.
The nOLopolistiC raising of the
price of wheat in the present con-
ditiOn of the world by reducing
supply through acreage reduction,
viii net, Mr.. Lot:ahl, bring hack
prosperity to the farm any more
thar it will to the factory. 1t
simply reduces consumption by
just the amount of the raise in
price, and increases the surplus
and starvation by the same act.
As long as we believe such
theories as the surplus theory and
acreage reduction remedies to be
true, our minds are in such a state
that we cannot grasp facts OF
think straight.
The Roosevelt program is g
bankers program, farmers and
workers, in every detail; there is
not a thing in it for the farmers
and the workers, but more pow.
erty and more misery; mort
forced sales, foreclosures AMI
evictions.
Isn't this so plain that II CANNOT
be disputed?

have had very small yields; SO the
big yield states that have made
the so-called surplus gets the most
of the bonus, while the states that
actually reduced the yield, gets
the small bonus allotment.
Another important fact, Mr.. Lo-
dahl overlooked, is the fact that
North and South Dakota and Mon
tana, and some other areas, pro-
duce No. hard northern, high
protein content wheat, of which
there never is a surplus, but much
if which kind is imported every
year from Canada; the wheat
which is mixed with winter or soft
wheat to grade up flour-is treated
just the same as the soft or ex-
port wheat of which there is al
ways surplus. This in itself is a
glazing injustice to the area,
penalizing it for the benefit of the
soft or winter wheat area.
The reduction of hard wheat acre
age provides market here for the
Canadian hard wheat producers, at
the expense of the northwest
without rhyme or reason. This
was not done by mistake; it was
a finance bankers scheme. These
bankers have much money in
vested in Canada and want the
Canadians to have a market, Sc
that they collect the interest or
the money they have invested
there. ~'pI-it-
And then Mr.. Lodahl says there
are no bread or soup lines in u
S. A. when wheat is $3.50 pei
bushel. Mr.. Lodahl suggest that
$3.50 wheat abolished bread anC
soup lines. His conclusions art
the very conclusions that the CAPT
talist. want him and the farmers
to make, for it serves their pur
poses well. Mr.. Lodahl. however
