 BECAUSE HE ATE.
 MANY CHERRIES


 WASHINGTON, July 20.

 The President was ordered to re- main in his room in the White House on the orders of a physician and the President compiled without a murmer. The President is not running temperature, it is added.

RUSSIA BUYING
 COTTON N '. s.

 It was stated that Russia could use all the way from 1,5O0,OOO to 100000 bales of cotton but since long term obligations must be used in it's purchase it is not thought that that quantity will be sold her.
 Russia is also in the market for livestock to be used for breeding purposes.

DRY LAW MAY
 BE REPEALED BEFORE YEAR UP

WASHINGTON, July 20. With Prohibitions southern strong h d definitely shattered by heavy maj critics for repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment in Alabama and Ar kansas, repealists looked to Ten eSsee's election today for clean sweep of the Dixie states voting this week.
 The vets expected that the vic tories in Tuesdays election in the first of the long dry states of the deep South to consider prohibition repeal to aid materially in their fight in Tennessee's election. The forces favoring repeal predicted that they would win by majority of 50,000 or so in Tennessee, all though dry leaders there, t h e r confidence unshaken by the Ala bama and Arkansas setbacks, de- clared they would get a victory in Tennessee by a small majority
 Repeal leaders throughout the na- tion saw in the Alabama 2 to 1 wet vote and the Arkansas to wet vote, an assurance that the repeal of the Eighteenth Amend ment will be completed during the present year. Eighteen states of the necessary 36 have ratified the Repeal Amendment and so far no state has voted against it. Oregon votes tomorrow on the repeal law.

SAW MOOSE ON ROAD

The experience of seeing a good sized moose ambling down the Sew ard-Kenai Lake highway was en- joyed the other day by Mrs. $. Uric and Mrs. J. B. Stanton, who were out motoring. The moose ap- parently has found that the road is easier to travel than the forest trail as he did not shy off into the wilderness at the sight of the auto but continued on down the road for about half mile before he got off the highway.

POST FLEW OVER NOME AT EARLY
 HOUR TODA Y

MOSCOW, July 20. Wiley Post, on his round-the-world flight was forced down hallway between Chita and Khabarovsk yesterday at 2:32 pm. Moscow time.
 Dispatches said that the Ameri- can flyer had been forced to land at the little town of Rukhioyo. He was unhurt but the plane was badly scratched by scraping the tree tops as Post came down to a precariCus landing. Bad weather forced him to the ground. {
 Ruhkhlovo is about 800 miles to the northwest of Irkutsk. The land ing conditions at Rukhlovo, a minor town on the Siberian railway, were poor.
 Aviator Post was near exhaus- tion, having had but little sound sleep since he left New York last Saturday. He said he was forced to fight a heavy rain all the way from Irkutsk.
 A later message from Rukhlovo to Moscow Wednesday evening in dicated that Post had taken off for Khabarovsk, on he a s te n Manchurian border. Word concern ing the flier's movements are slow because of slow communication ser vice.
 A few hours later he was at Khabarovsk and he was then Is hours and 46 minutes ahead of the record he wants to beat. He arrived at Khabarovsk at 4:45 pm. and took off for Fairbanks at 5:5S a. m. or 6:58 pm. Pacific Standard time. His haste eclipsed the speed of communication facilities for several hours.
 The previous elapsed time when he and Gatty made the flight was 129 hours and 34 minutes between the time they left New York and the time they left Kharbarovsk. The time for Post on his present flight is 113 hours and 48 minutes.
 It was believed that Fairbanks was his destination although some thought he would land at Nome.
 When he left Kharbarovsk he look ed and was very tired but he de- cided to forego the rest for speed. He said he hoped to reach Nome in Is hours after leaving Khabar- ovsk but did not say whether he intended to stop there.
 Posts plane passed over Nome at $40 am. Alaska time this morn in0.

Mrs Franklin D. Roosevelt should check up on the publicity agent who secured her permission to couple her name with passage of the child labor amendment to the federal constitution. While 1t is worthy cause and one with which all women, whether prominent nationally or not, should align themselves, still it it necessary that accuracy be attained. In several state papers similar news releases appeared in which Mrs Roose- welt urged adoption of the 20th amendment. Unfortunately the 20th amendment to the constitution has already been adopted It is the Norris lame duck amendment ending the congressional short sessions and chang ing the date of president inaugurations. If the child labor amendment should be passed in the next month or SO it would be the 2 list amendment, but if not, then it may become the 22nd as the 2 1st now looms as the 18th amendment repealer. It was doubtless an oversight on the part of the publicity writer that the child labor amendment was cited as the coming 10th. It happens in the best of
 families. but it only goes to prove that be-

"The Little Fellow"

One of the things the National Recovery Act seems destined to do is make straight out test of the comparative degrees of social responsibility and public spirit possessed by small industries and large ones. So far. it must be admitted that most of the palms have been won by the little fellows Speak ing generally. it is the little fellow who has shown the greater readiness to sign up under the Blue Eagle. Drive down any business street you like. in big city or in small town. and you will see that heartening ban ner prominently displayed in the windows ot small shops. little restaurants. tiny garages and small scale manufacturing establishments. The little business man has come forward with a gratifying promptness - and, for the most part. he has been scrupulous in living up to the terms of his agreement.
 Unfortunately, not quite as much can be said for the big fellow. This is not said to take anything away from those giant con- cerns which have already got into line with NRA policies. Many have done so. and their action has been in the highest degree prsiseworthy. But many of them. un- fortunately. have not: and the headaches suffered by MIRA officials at Washington have arisen chiefly because some of the big gest industries in the land have shown them selves surprisingly stiff-necked about it.
 Now it hasn't been an, easy thing for the little fellow to get his Blue Eagle. In many cases it is more of sacrifice for him to raise wages and shorten working hours than it is for the big fellow, for the simple raeson that labor costs are proportionately larger on his budget than they are on the big fellows. The chap who runs. for instance. corner shoe repair shop, and boosts the number ot his workers from two to three under the NT2A code. is quite likely to have to operate at loss for a time and if he does the money must come right out of his own pocket. and not out of pile of cash re- serves tucked away in some bank.
 Yet it is the little fellow who seems to be leading the way right now. He hasn't talked indignantly about constitutional liml- tations or his time-honored open shop poll- eies, or his duty to his stockholders. He has rolled up his sleeves and gone in there to pitch, and he has done it without much coaxing. If large-seale industry wants to justify its dominant position in America, it must demonstrate that it possesses social conscience in the same measure as the little fellow possesses it.

An Enviable Record

A city that can borrow a half million dol lars at this time mus be in pretty good shape. A city that can borrow one half million dollars at three per cent must be in excellent shape. A city that can show a re- port like that one printed in the Democrat on Monday and Tuesday must have mighty fine steward A city that has been able to meet its payroll every single week during the terrible depression that the eoun- try has just gone through has something to be proud of. A city that has had charity department that has been kind. courteous and liberal with the unfortunate people in distress need not hang its head in shame. A city that has had an unemployment system that has been the talk of the country is en- titled to some credit. In fact as far as we can learn almost everybody in town is firmly convinced that Mayor Frank Hayes has done fine job.
 His critics can juggle figures from now until doomsday but they can't get away from the fact that Waterbury through Frank Hayes is better off at the present time than almost any other municipality in the East. And what more can any citizen who really has an honest interest in his city ask of any mayor or chief executive? We are living in extraordinary times and any such endeavor as has been exhibited by Mayor Hayes must meet for the most part with the highest ap- proval. To find fault at such time is but the ranking vaporizings of destructive mind.
 Enough for those that would pull down and destroy what others have given their utmost to build up. The pertinent thing for the taxpayers of Waterbury to look to now is to see that such an executive as Mayor Hayes is retained in office as long as he cares to render service to the city. Let no taxpayer be hoodwinked by any sanctimon- ious promises of reform from those who could look to their own houses first. The days of the money changers in the temple of biblical fame, while not in vogue now. are not far cry from some of the tactics employed today. Let Mayor Hayes critics. as we said. first look to themselves and even if they are above reproaeh be not the first to cast stone.

A Code For Gypsies

Freedom forsakes its last stronghold. Even the gypsies in far-off Rumania have suceumbed to the modern-day craze for or ganizing, joining. and regulating. No longer will their caravans wander over the open roads, and their camp fires light the woods at twilight. They are to have an associa- tion with headquarters = permanent and with officers, bylaws, and all the ap- purtenances of the typical society. Also. they'll have a newspaper university and library.
 But worst of all the black tents are to give way to rest houses where the gypsies may stay until they can find work. Work, mind you. It's too bad, this modernization of the freest people in the world who alone have seemed to have the secret of doing what they pleased and going where they pleased, with utter disregard of the rest of the world.

Powerless Bureaucracy

Public jobs, after all. are not everlasting. Nearly 10000 government employees in Washington have been fired lately or in gentler parlanee. let go" It is not alto- gether reason for rejoicing. These men and women deserve sympathy. Many of them have been faithful workers. It is hard to be turned loose on the world during de- pression.
 On the whole, though other considera- tons outweigh pity. Most of these dis charged officeholders may find places in new branches of public work. as the great govern ment reconstruction program gets under way. Many will get work in private life with the rapid resumption of business activity. The hardship and injustice will be mostly transient.
 The mere fact, now demonstrated, that it is really possible to separate government employees from the public payroll in consid-' erable numbers, and the bureaueraces are not omnipotent. is reassuring. especially at time when there have been widespread fears of new bureaucracy growing up.

Postmaster General Farley might well deny the rumor that he is not a candidate for the governorship of New York. The story grew from the fact that Governor Lehman looms right now as possible suc- cessor to Secretary of the Treasury William H. Woodin in the event of his resignation. That would compel the resignation of Gov ernor Lehman. although if he were the Post master General. he could manage several jobs without even thinking twice about them. However, we don't think that "Jim" Farley will take any heavier load on his shoulders tban that he now bears. It must be remembered that he is still New York's democratic state chairman and the national democratic chairman. And with his off, cial departmental duties he must assume those of patronage dispenser not merely in his own office. but throughout the adminis- tration. He's got enough to occupy his mind for four years without thinking about the New York governorship. If we know him correctly he'll let the state honors go for time.
