need of those privileges upon
which healthy character and
fine conduct depend-the right
to privacy, the relaxation of
amusement, the regard of and
the proud association with his
fellows, on terms of mutual re-
Spect.
Not only can the Man In The
Hold appreciate and use these
pleasures and privileges as well
as the Man On The Bridge,
but he deserves them as much.
Granted, that the chap in uni

developed intelligence than the

The fact still remains that the

it would if the plutocratS and

The Government, by it's delay in accepting the pro-
gram of Representative Clarence j. Mcleod for paying
off the depositors of closed banks is condemning more
than thousand million dollars worth of assets of those
banks to virtually total destruction
Those assets unless the Government acts, will either
be DESTROYED or will be absorbed by few persons of
wealth who at the expiration of few years will profit
by millions of dollars on their resale
These are the assets it should be borne in mind

whether the American people
are inclined to look with favor
upon the attempt of certain
members of the Republican ma
tional committee to put a Re-
publican Farley at its head
more than year in advance Of
the time when there is any USE
full work for the Republican
committee chairman to do
Before the Republican party
can again provide a political op-
position in this country which
is logical, sincere and based upon
principles, rather than upon the
greed of special interests, the
Republican organizations in the
several States must be given
new and bettey leadership.
Division Noted
This initiative can best come
from the ranks of the State Or
ganizations of the party rather
than from the chairman Of it's
presidential campaign commit
tee. This committee as now
organized is too closely affili-
ated with special interests to
offer a leadership which pro.
gressive Republicans or 1nde-
pendents, North, East, South or
West, would find attractive.
Furthermore, the division
within the Republican national
committee is only the outward
visible sign of the division that
exists throughout the Repubi-
can party at this time. It lacks
leadership worthy of great
causes because the party poll
ticians are, for the most part,
still running away from the
great causes, or attempting art
fully to dodge the duty Of
championing them.
A year hence, a group Of
Republican State chairmen
may have made a record in
purging their own organiza-
tions which will entitle them to
serious consideration for the
RESPONSIBILITIES connected with
the Craftsmanship Of the Re-
publican national committee.
Then. too, by 1885 the Ameri-
can people will be in better
position to evaluate the fruits
of the New Deal and to sep
arate the sweet from the Bit
ter, the permanent from the
temporary. In the light Of
that appraisal they will then
be ready to decide in the great
referendum of the following
year, to what extent the New
Deal was a Square Deal, for
chance of survival will depend
not upon its novelty but upon
its SquareneSS to poor and rich
and strong and weak alike.
A Republican chairman Of
the Republican national COM
mittee elected next month
might be badly out Of step
with his party by the time the
committee meets, more than a
year hence, to prepare for the
presidential campaign of 1895.

the earth many millions of
years ago, has somehow sur
vived There can no longer be
any doubt that the sea serpent
actually exists, a marvel and a
mystery of the first water.
Peculiar Gift
The other animal Whic.l ap-
pears strongly in the news is
the Tammany Tiger. New York,
and much of the country, for
that matter, is still buzzing
with excitement over the evic-
ton. as leader of Tammany
Hall, of John F. Curry. Tam
many is almost as old as the
Government of the United
States. but never before in it's
history had it forcibly unseated
its chief. Greatly liked and
highly respected personally.
John Curry was deposed from
command of the country's most
famous political organizati ton be-
cause of his peculiar gift for
picking the wrong horse.
Five years ago. when he was
elected leader, he was all-pow-
erful. At his disposal we're
thousands of fat jobs. He was
the Democratic boss of the
State of New York, as well as
the city, and his influence was
powerfully felt in Washington.
Then, he saw fit to oppose the
nomination of Franklin D.
Roosevelt for President and of
Herbert H. Lehman for gov
ern0r.
Routed in both battles, he
came to his Waterloo in the
last New York city election
Whe n Tammany's candidate
ran third and Tammany lost
practically all the immense
patronage of the great city.
Not only that. but the organi-
zation was hopelesSly in dis
favor at Washington and the
deposition of Curry is cred
ited-to a large eXtent-to the
influence OF the President and
Postmaster General Farley.
Anyway, a general who loses
all his battles cannot expect
to retain the loyalty of his
army. Tamnlany, under John
Curry. made the one fatal mis-
take. 1t saw itself as little
bigger than the President of
the United States.

Officials of the Governments fiscal agencies now
say that these assets have evaporated that they
longer exist as assets.
That is radically different view than the men in
the same offices were taking back in 1881.
In January of that year orders sent to the chief
bank examiners to give these assets SYMPATHETIC
TREATMENT" Later on these orders were empha-
sized and the examiners were criticized by their
periors for not making their treatment sympathetic
enough.

Whether the Republican ma
tional committee shall select a
new leader now, or postpone the
choice until nearer the time for
the next presidential election, is
the chief question to come up
for consideration at the June
meeting of the committee.
This meeting has been called
to act upon the resignation OF
Chairman Saunders, whose re-
tirement at this time is said to
be due to his health. Otherwise
the meeting might have been
postponed for another year.
It will be contrary to long
time custom if the selection OF a
new chairman of this commit
tee is made next month. The
usual procedure is for the COM
mittee to remain more or less
inactive between presidential
campaigns. It's main function
is to arrange for the nomina-
tion of candidates for President
and Vice President every four
years and to supervise the con-
duct of the campaign for the
election of the party's nominees
for these offices.
The national committee has
nothing to do with the nomina-
ton or election Senators or Rep
resentatives in Congress, or
governors or State legislatures.
This year the Republican con-
greSsional campaign committees
will be in charge OF the party's
congressional contests.
May Be Postponed
If the Republican committee"
men follow customary procedure
at the June meeting they will
postpone the election of a sue
cessor to Chairman Saunders
for another year and allow the
vice chairman to act as chair
man in the meantime.
But this course is opposed by
an active group of committee
men who insist that now is the
time for the Republican ma
tional committee, under a new
chairman, to begin an, active
campaign of opposition to the
Roosevelt Administration and
the New Deal. This group would
like to see the committee ex-
tend its authority and response
bility in many directions.
The fact that the chairman
Of the Democratic national
committee is also Postmaster
General and chairman of the
New York State committee of
his party gives him a power
never before exercised by one
politician in the history Of
either party.
If the Republicans elect a new
chairman of their national
committee at the next meeting,
the country will conclude that
they are trying to build up a
Republican Farley to fight a
Democratic Farley. And the
country will not be far wrong.

Human Side of the News
Tribute to Mother psychological Specimens
Bv EdlUin C.. Hill

I don't think that ever came
across such a childish tribute to
mother love and. indeed, at the
same time, such a striking pic
ture in few words of what pow
erty means to a mother toiling
all alone for a large family as I
encountered the other day in
the pages of the London Chron-
icle. The rector of neighbor-
hood church had asked the boys
of the neighborhood to write on
the subject of MY Mother"
And here, exactly as it was writ
ten, is the tribute of one Small
son:
MY mother is a nice lady.
She is five feet tall and three
feet wide. She has no false
teeth. but her front teeth are
broken. She is married. She
married my father at st. James
when she was eighteen. She has
eight more children beside me
and she says she would not be
without one of us. We have two
bedrooms and one kitchen.
Utterly Naive
Every morning she goes
office-cleaning at five, stepping
soft so as to not awaken us. She
meets her mates at the tram.
She leaves our lunch packets
and milk pennies on the dresser.
Dad gets our breakfast before
he goes to look for work. She
gets home before we start for
school and sees we are tidy.
Then she starts her housework.
She sweeps the rooms, makes
the beds, does the shopping,
peels the potatoes, cooks IL
dinners, one for granny, who
lives 10 doors away.
Mondays and Thursdays she
scrubs the rooms. Tuesday is
washing day. This is the only
day she grumbles. Wednesday
and Friday she mends our
clothes, which are always get
ting tore. Saturday she goes
to get our stores. She takes my
sister to learn her the trade of
bargaining with the butcher. At
four, she gets tea. At five. she
is to go office-cleaning again
and gets home at nine and puts
us to bed. She brings us cocoa
in bed. She keeps on the go
all day and never sits down.
She looks after the sick baby
upstairs while its mother is at
work. When she dies, I shall
miss her terribly"
The utterly naive and hon
est estimate by a small boy OF
the slums of a mother tated
to endless toll. 1 have never
seen anything quite like it IN
all literature.
Two interesting geological
specimens raise their heads IN
the news. One is our old

startled eyes, a great snake,

fore it sank beneath the sur

The initial tower is located in
the southern part Of Person

line, and is designed for use for
the time being in connection with
the cooperative forest fire con-
troll program in Durham county
since Person does not have an or
ganization for that purpose.
Materials for the other seven
towers Of the original order of
eight have been received and will
be erected by selected crews from

published the report that a relief
lightshiD had sighted the Tybee
Light on the coast of Georgia,
for distance Of 81 miles. de-
spite the fact the department pre-
viously maintained it impossible
to see the light more than is
miles.
The Weather Bureau stepped
in and explained the apparent
faliacy. The Bureau termed the
phenomenon d "looming", caused
by inversion" and declared it
perfectly possible to see around
the curvature Of the earth.
Inversion was explained as a
reversal of the usual weather
conditions whereby air at the
surface is cold while that above
is warm, causing the rays from
the lighthouse to bend downward
and follow the eag5h's curve,
light travelling more quickly
through the warm air than
through the cold.
