ONCE OVERS
Golf and HeIpfulness

OV1k @4ASA 40CAR4 O41AVOO.
Golf caddies are a bit wor-
ried over reports that not so
many men will be playing golf
as formerly participated in the
game and that fees for SER
vice will be reduced.
If the fees are cut, the sum
per hour will still be good pay
for a boy in these times.
Players, however, should not
become unnecessarily penurious.
The amounts which they pay
the lads who tote their bags
may be sorely needed by the
families of these boys.
Golf players, in this way, can
do "their bit" by trying to be
at least fair to the lads.
They should look upon it as
an obligation which they owe
the boys and their families.
Some club members have de-
cided to reduce pleasure trips,
not going out Of town as often
as formerly, so they can play
golf at home more often and
help out the caddies while en-
joying the game.
They are not being exactly
unselfish in this because they
love the game, but some men
who will play next summer will
get additional pleasure out Of
their games because they feel
they will be doing something
to help needy persons.

Fortunate to Have
Lewis w. Douglas

But when we come to the
reorganization Of the Gov
ernment to end Implications
and unnecessary bureaus;
when we come to the budget
and the economies that must
be effected it would, ordi-
narlly require some courage.
But President Roosevelt
assumes responsibility for
all this.
And the public generally
will be behind him in any
thing he does to balance the
budget.
The country is fortunate to
having as the Director Of
the Budget Lewis w. Doug
las, who has been intelli-
gently interested in ways
and means to reduce the
drain on thu Treasury. AS
a member Of the House he
had the reputation of being

THE new Congress needs
l. vision, wisdom, construc-
tive capacity and something
more that is vitally neces-
sary-courage to do what
ever the requirements Of the
country demand, regardless
of the opposition of isolated
and selfish groups.
Now that national leader
ship has been assumed by
President Roosevelt it is the
expectation Of the coun-
try that he will have the
cooperation of Congress in
whatever measures he may
find necessary.
We have been waiting for
courageous and d e is i've
leadership, and now that we
have it, if we ignore it there
is just one answer, and that
is chaos. Chaos thus brought
on would mean national in
sanity.
1t is encouraging to find
that the measures Of the
Administration are to be
submitted by the party in
power to caucus action. This
means that with a strong
working majority in both
House and Senate the leader
ship of the President can be
made effective.
It means that whatever
Emergencies Of opinion may
develop as to details will be
fought out behind closed
doors, with the understand
ing that the decision Of the
majority shall determine the
course of all. There will be
no scandalous chaos to de-
stroy confidence in govern
ment.
The minority, recognizing
the existence Of a crisis
similar to that in war, has
promised cooperation, and,
until the crisis is over, the
injection of no merely
partisan note.
In Speaker Rainey, the
House has at the helm a
strong man, rich in the prac-
tical wisdom that comes
from many years Of public
service.

THREE-MINUTE JOURNEYS
BY Temple Manning

Whenever the newspapers
carry stories about loyal Scots
men and other admirers Of
Robert Burns holding celebra-
tions designed round the mem
ory of the great poet, my mind
goes back to the Burns country.
Every summer one finds many
tourists bound for that pre-
scribed corner Of Ayrshire that
Graded the genius whose poems
have become part of our daily
life.
And so, for "aNl lang syne"
let's take a trip to Scotland
and visit Alloway, two miles
from Ayr, the peasant-poet's
birthplace. We go by car along
a pleasant road, the shore
road, and reach the two-roomed
cottage on South Road, the
"clay biggin" where Robbie was
born. It has been restored, after
a somewhat checkered career.
Friends have made the little
cottage a veritable museum and
it is now a charming little
place, very different, indeed,
from what it was in the poets
day.
A scant half mile from the
cottage is the Alloway Auld
Kirk, roofless and a moss
covered ruin just as it was in
Burns time. In it's graveyard
the poets parents are buried,
surrounded by sycamore trees.
A little further on, between
Carrick and Kyle, is a massive

Measures Will Be
Speedily Adopted

It is the expectation Of
the nation that when Con-
gress reconvenes in April,
if it takes a recess, measures
for the reorganization and
reform of our banking sys-
tenn to restore confidence in
the safety Of deposits will
be ready-and speedily
adopted.
Evils, the most vicious,
have been tolerated in the
past, and we are all paying
the penalty for them now.
No one today dares openly
defend these evil practices
that have brought distress.
If the present crisis has
made it easy to effect these
reforms long overdue, there
will be reason to rejoice in
our momentary inconveni-
ences.
It will take no courage on
the part of Congress to go
along with these reforms.
The Washington times., 1933-03-11
Now We Are
Going Up!

And no one today for
partisan reasons can afford
to gamble with the interests
Of the country. That is the
reason that unlike in 1913
the leaders of the minority
are willing to cooperate and
stand by.
But the necessity for
quick and continuing action
is greater now than 20
years ago.
Meanwhile this assump-
tion of leadership, with its
magnificent exhibition of
decision and courage, has
given the country more con-
fidence and cheerfulnesA
than has been seen for
many months. The effect
has been world wide. The
foreign press has become
optimistic on Americas
early future. The American
press, without regard to
party, has struck the note
Of cheer.
We had reached bottom;
and now we are going up.
And when we go up, we
shall stay up, because, in
the meanwhile, we are 60
ing to rid ourselves of the
things that have combined
to pull US down.

of Burns will recognize at once
as the Brig o'Doon. Every
where, one can recognize places
alluded to in the works of the
great poet, for he left scarcely
a foot Of his homeland unre-
corded.
One can visit Mt. Oliphant,
where the father of Robert
Burns worked so hard to wrest
a living from the reluctant
earth. Then there is Dal-
rymple, where Robbie and his
brother Gilbert attended school.
Then there is the ruined farm
house at Kirksowald, where
Burns took a course in survey
ing.
Some ten miles northeast Of
Ayr is Tarbolton Parish, in
which is Lochlie, where the
poets talent first made itself
known and felt. Everywhere
round between Ayr and Dunn
fries are places that bring to
mind the various characters
that Burns has immortalized.
But wherever one roams look
ing for the footprints of Burns,
after one has seen the poets
tomb at Dumfries, with its
sculptured group by Turnedelli,
one returns to Ayr. For during
the eight years of his 81 that
he was away in Edinburgh, the
poet turned always to Ayr, as is
evidenced by his great poem,
Tam O. Shanter."

LISTEN, WORLD!
By Elsie Robinson =

You'd never fail, for YOU were
different.
But now what has hap
pened? Where have your
dreams gone? Why has your
confidence failed? This broken
creature with its faltering step,
it's empty stare-surely it can't
be YOU! But it is!
A FAILURE-YOU!
Oh, you won't admit it. Other
people believe it. You see it in
their indifferent eyes; feel it
in their hatefully pitying
words. But you can't realize
it.
Yes, you know your jobs
gone; SOS your money. You're
shabby, too. But still
YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE A
FAILURE! YOU CAN'T BE-

DON'T TRY TO BELIEVE
IT-FOR YOU'RE NOT!
Never mind how your record
looks to the world. There's an
other, truer record which the
world can't see. That other
record isn't written in books.
It's written on your heart; on
your brain. It doesn't tell your
worth in dollars and cents. It
tells your worth in character.
It gives your real assets-those
rare and priceless things which
no market crash can ever take
from you.
And what is your greatest
treasure? What, out of all
your experim e n ting, has
proved most profitable?
Not the times you've sue

Nor the times you've failed
BUT THE TIMES YOU'VE
TRIED!
Trying. That was what
counted most. The battles you
put on inside yourself. But
you didn't win those battles?
That doesn't matter. Nine
times out of ten results are
beyond our human control.
We live in a mad-house where
the best laid plans go smash.

The Necessity for
Quick Action

When Congress convenes
in April, after the short ses-
sion just beginning, it is a
safe wager that it will re-
main in session throughout
the summer. It was true
during the first Wilson Ad-
ministration when so much
was accomplished. The
extra session in the spring
Of 1913 was called primarily
for a revision of the tariff.
When that had been ac-
complished and the dreadful
heat of a Washington July
had wrapped the Capitol in
hot blanket, the Congress
wanted to go home. 1t was
Wilson who prevented the
adjournment.
This was due to the fact
that selfish forces were at
work to create a depression
as a punishment to the ad-
ministration, and w ills on
proposed to meet the attack
with the Federal Reserve
system. Thus, in this extra
session, two measures of the
first Importance were en-
acted.
No such situation exists
today. The new President
has inherited a depression.
The bank crisis came before
he was inaugurated. We
had reached and scraped
bottom. No one would have
the hardihood to hold him
responsible; no one does.

years. 1t was fully that
