Mad? Of course I was. The
disrespectful. ungrateful young
puppy! Talking to an older
person like that! Why, if I'd
done that at his age! A good,
sharp call-down-that's what
he needed, to teach him some
manners. I'd show him!
Then, suddenly, even as the
words boiled-came realization.
Why shouldn't Jim answer
me like that?
Hadn't I. and every other
member of my generation,
given him the right to answer
me like that?

stand or fall on this money
question.
Those closest to him have
said to this writer that there IS
no real cause for alarm. The
debating of the gold dollar was
necessary. It is being brougnC
about with the least possible
shock to business.
Through it all the President
seems pretty calm and self con"
tained, like a man who knows
where he is going and who will
let us in on the destination
when he gets what he is after.
James Aloysius Farley, Post
master General of these more or
less United States, was plan
ming soon to start for home to
assuage the anguish of politi-
clans who yearn for Federal
jobs.
The one thing that Big Jim
hates, and the "big" applies to
heart as we'll as the six feet
three of him, is disappointing
people. He has done very lit
tie of that in his life, and that's
why he is here today.
One of the greatest statesmen
that ever walked in shoe
leather, he sold Franklin D.
Roosevelt to the American peo-
pile. Spare and hard for all
his 200 pounds, with the swing
ing walk of Jack Dempsey, en-
ploying assets worth millions
the Farley handshake and the
Farley smile-he sits in the
seat of Benjamin Franklin and
has done better than any other
Postmaster General in decades
to make the postal service pay
for itself.
Job Dealing
In his youth he carried a
torch for William Jennings
Bryan, and now he has got as
far as the Great Commoner
ever got himself-to a seat in
the Cabinet. In his life he has
held one elective office. and
that, State Assemblyman in
New York, just once, and no
more.
His hardest job, when he
comes sailing back from the
TIvooaro1J Tc1o will ha IN deal
out 10000 jobs and still keep
a million. five hundred thou
sand people thinking we'll OF
the Democracy and the New
Deal. Few men are really
closer to the President than
this same James Aloysius Far
ley. who speeds our mails.

If President Roosevelt takes
the advice and counsel of Sen
ator Norris of Nebraska, there
will soon be either a new Post
master General in the Roosevelt
Cabinet or a new chairman at
the head of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee.
AS the vc cram Progressive
leader who so strongly sup
porte Mr.. RooSevelt's candi-
dacy for the Presidency, Senator
Norris sounds a warning that
the Administration will "a re-
luctant to ignore, when he says:
Unfair Advantage

troll of as many appointments
as the Postn0ste. General has

President Coolidgc's admins
tration when Senator Butler of
Mossochusetts remained chair
man of the Republican National
Committee while in the Senate.

a purely political basis SdOe
him a. unfair advantage.
Early in the Roosevelt Admin
istration, Postmaster General
Farley assured the country that
Federal officials, against whom
no charges could be sustained,
would be permitted to serve out
the regular terms for which
they were confirmed by the Sen
ate.
Latterly this promise has not
been kept. In State after State,
Federal officials with good rec
ords are getting notice that they
are expected to quit and clear
the way for Democratic success
Sors in spite of the fact that the
terms for which these officials
were confirmed by the Senate
have not expired.
Were Mr.. Farley merely Post
master General, he would be eX-
clusively concerned with the
business of his own department.
This is a large and important
department. 1t merits the eX-
elusive attention of the man at
its head.
Being chairman of the Demo
cratic National Committee, how
ever, as we'll as Postmaster Gen
eral, Mr.. Farley is under con-
slant pressure from a horde of
political parasites on the pay
rolls of county and local govern
ments to NEEDLE in the affairs
of the other executive depart
ments. He is expected to distri-
butte Federal offices as "spoils"
to the spoilsmen of politics.
AS a result, every Executive
department is today embarrassed
by these political demands COM
ing through a member of the

the politician, the delight of the
doctrinaire and the confusion of
the masses. The great regret is
that it approaches a crisis at
the moment when business
seems rarin' to go and when,
for the first time in years, the
country has begun to read with
happy surprise that great indus
trial corporations have emerged
from the red, and that the COM

practice since the winter of

my best on Changing Science"
Most of us remember having
been taught about the molecule
when we were in school. Prac-
tically none of us remember
that the average diameter OF
gas molecules was said to be
about one three-hundred-mil-
lionths of an inch. Boy, is
that kettle drummer having a
good time! Or rather, those
kettle -drummers. There must
be SO of them. Go it, you sons
of-guns! Beat their hides off!
At-a-boy! I hope your wrists
drop off!
Well, whether molecule is

an inch or not, along came a
lot of things that were smaller.
Atoms, electrons, cons, ions,
uons and sometimes Wons and
yons. This made more or less
of a bum out Of the molecule,
but still. What's the matter?
Have they stopped playing?
They shouldn't do that. They
shouldn't bang so loud and
then stop suddenly. That's
worse than keeping it ! ), for
it makes people in the next
apartment wonder.
Oh, no! There they go
again! The brasses! Dear old
brasses! Say, they certainly
know how to blow, those boys.
Hot dickety! 1t must be fun
to have a horn, and, once you
are sure of your note, to give
it the works like that.
Why is it that a composer
never seems able to finish an
overture? They act as if they
had got going and didn't know
how to stop. They come to- the
end with a series of tremendous

To restore economic stability, the
federal budget must be balanced.
That Is essential. There Is no other
way out.
Congress has shown its impotency
In doing the Job. Blanket authority
must be given the chief executive to
cut the cloth to meet the exigency Of
the situation. Lobbies, sectional in
terests, log rolling and other legisla-
tsye tactics initiate against immediate
budget balancing. This is a Job for
the president. He must cut through
all red tape and get concrete results.
One branch Of the congress has
acted.
The other should not delay action
In this matter. Public opinion favors
the economy measure. Organized
minorities and self-serving Hobbies
