DEMOCRATIC DELAYS

James A. Farley, the President-elects closest po-
ntical adviser and presumptive cabinet officer, has
expressed doubt that the present congress will enact
sufficient economic legislation"
His doubts are shared by most observers. There
seems small hope that any of the important bills
on banking railroads. farm relief, depression relief
beer tax, and related subjects will become law.
There is even more doubt that congress will achieve
the large scale economies in appropriations necessary
to balance the budget.
Democratic members of congress do not seem
alarmed greatly by this situation. They incline to
the attitude that President Hoover and the Repub-
licans are to blame for everything, and that Demo-
cratic responsibility does not begin until March L.
That easy subterfuge will fool nobody. Demo-
cratic members of congress under oath and TAX
ing public salaries for service in this session of con-
gress as we'll as the next. Moreover it happens that
the Democratic party is in control of this session
with absolute control in the house and virtual control
in the senate
Therefore Democratic failure in this session will
be taken as sample of what is to be expected next
session Altogether apart from the larger national
interests at stake, viewed from selfish party
standpoint the Democrats are sowing misery for
themselves
Doubtless something of this feeling was in the
mind of the President-elect when he summoned con-
gressional leaders of his party to the recent New
York conference. Now that the momentum of that
conference seems to have been lost again, doubtless
the same concern is in the mind of Mr.. Roosevelt as
he prepares to meet the party leaders in Washington
this week on his way south.
On one matter, especially the Presdent-elec
must be alarmed. That is the statement of certain
Democrats that they do not intend to keep their
nartys campaign pledge to reduce federal operating
expenses 25 per cent.
No such confession needed On the record to
date it is clear that the Democrats not going to
achieve real economies. The is the
in the case of the Republicans when in control
they nibbe at the small appropriations but refuse
to stop the big leaks.
The Democrats will not even discuss, much less
act on the needed saving of $500 900 in veteran

Il ment, patients with lockjaw
may die because of the potency
of this poison. Much depends on
the time at which the antitoxin is
given and on the amount.
OF greatest Importance is the
prevention of lockjaw through
the proper treatment of people
who have been wounded, at the
earliest possible moment.
It should be taken for granted
that a wound acquired in local
tiles where the soil is likely to
be contaminated, such as wounds
acquired in fields, stables and
farmyards, or such as gunshot
and powder wounds, are infected.
A physician who treats such
case probably will open the wound
widely, removing any clothing,
soil or other visible contamination
that may be present, and then
treat the wound with proper an
tiseptics.

Every Day Religion
BY DR.. JOSEPH FORT NEWTON

IN the old fairy stories, every
L thing went well for the first
paragraph and half. The prin-
cess was rich and lovely, her suit
ors were many, riding up to the
castle door.
The engagement ring and the
wedding cake were ready and the
parents we're overjoyed. Then sud-
denly the play was spoiled by a
giant or an ogre. A wrench was
thrown into the wheels of happi-
ness, the mirror of joy was
cracked clean across.
Why was it so and what was
the meaning of it all? These old
stories were a kind of secret auto
biography of the race, and the
giant and the ogre are the fears
which have frightened men half
out of their wits, making them a
tribe of cringers and creeperS.
Even today, in spite of all our
wit and wisdom, the old primitive
terors still make us tremble in
our shoes and the shivers run up
and down our backs.
For one thing, the ogre was so
big-and size terrifies us. Yet
even his huge bulk would not
have mattered if he had kept
quiet, but he had a voice like a
fog-horn and set men running by
his roar. When size and sound
were joined together it was too
much for human nerves. Every
thing went down.
Il II
a LSO, it is curious to note that
L "A the roar Of the ogre always
was depressing. Invariably he
growled at the princess, Numbered
down all her hopes and dreams,
and threatened to eat both her
and her young man.
What saved the story from dis
aster was that some one was wise
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1933-01-16

enough to turn and face the dull,
melancholy monster and call his
bluff. Then, off went his head
and the wedding bells were set
ringing.
At last the time has come for
man to kill off all the old ogres
which have terrorized and tor
mented his life. They do not ex-
ist save in our imagination. and
their hope-shattering roar is
merely a megaphone of our fear.
Therefore, as David punctured
the armor Of Goliath, so we can
STAY the giants of ignorance and
despair, and chase the hideous
ogres out Of the window and over
the wall. Fear is slavery; courage
is liberty.
