The Correct Approach
Through the District Building

The decision of the District Commissioners to hold pubic
hearings bill license and regulate race tracks IN the
National Capital will be hailed by citizens another indi
eaton local coming to life in the matter
of irving to find out what the public wants.
The subject matter the bill proposed by Representative
Lorng Black of York highly controversial and the
measure enacted would institute radical departure from
existing conditions.
It impossible for any group of men, whether they be DIS
rct Commissioners members of Congress- to determine OIL
hand the wishes of the community in this regard
Through the Commissioners hearing should be possible to
sound out the local sentiment order that the local officials
may make an intelligent report to Congress-
similar procedure followed in regard to the measures
providing for control of liquor the District and as result
the Commissioners able to submit to Congress bill which
received prompt approval
WE BELIEVE THAT THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS
ARE FOLLOWING SOUND PUBLIC POLICY IN HOLDING
HEARINGS ON ALL CONTROVERSIAL MEASURES WHICH
ARE PROPOSED IN CONGRESS-
It may be maintained that hearings the District Build
ing virtually duplicates of hearings held the same meas
ures the Capitol but there S in reality vast difference
The people the District should of right turn to their local
first when matters affecting that and
its relations to the citizens are under consideration
In the past left much Congress and then have
frequently contented ourselves with pOradg the action OF
that body
washngtonians should realize the proper approach
Congress is through the District Building
AS LONG AS WE OURSELVES RESPECT OUR OWN
LOCAL GOVERNMENT WE CAN EXPECT CONGRESS TO
DO LIKEWISE. BUT, WHEN WE sCoRN AND IGNORE
OUR LOCAL OFFICIALS WE CAN LOOK FOR CONGRESS
TO DO THE SAME THING.
The holding of hearings on by Commits
soners only gnfies the local but it dgne
our own citizens we'll.
1T MAY AS WELL BE ADMITTED THAT UNDER EXIST
ING CIRCUMSTANCES THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS
DO NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT POWER TO GIVE US
TRULY RESPONSIVE GOVERNMENT.
That fact nevertheless should not induce sacrifice what

Go into the fields and study
one square foot of soil. That
scrap of soil is a battle-ground.
Something has always been
happening to it, on it, and in it
since the first green filament
broke through its cooling crust.
It has never been a peaceful
place, or a passive place, or a
safe place.
And that is why there is life
there today. For life can only
go on where there is continuous
action. Life is paralyzed when
things become passive. Life lives
in that restless bit of sod.
But life is over in the vast
and quiet craters of the moon.
Go out among men and study
any human heart. If that heart
is battle-ground it, too, is alive.
AS long as it is taking chances
as long as things are happing
to it and in it-that heart is
furiously alive. But when that
heart loses it's curiosity and i'm
patience, it's enthusiasm and
recklessness, death begins.
AS long as I live I want to be
eager to bite-and willing to
bite off more than 1 can chew.

Plenty! And I expect to pay for

bite off more than they could

missed the most gallant adven-
lures.
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO LIVE

If you're going to bite off only
what you can chew, you might
as well be guinea pig and be
done with it. A guinea pig is

does it get him? A full stomach

BUT IF YOU WANT TO BE
A MAN-YOU CAN'T JUDGE
YOUR BITES. YOU'VE GOT
TO TAKE A CHANCE, NOT
ONLY ON YOUR TEETH BUT
ON EVERYTHING ELSE YOU
HAVE, INCLUDING YOUR I'M
MORTAL SOUL.
The proud and passionate, the
really powerful spirits. aren't
those that have never made
mistakes or known humiliation
and defeat. They are the peo-
pie who, with deliberate reck-
lessness, bite off more than
they can chew.
AS a consequence, they get
themselves into frightful
messes. They are ridiculed,
misunderstood, slandered. They
are despised by all who know
them - frequently including
themselves. CFor the bitterest

those things which are most
treasured by the prudent

But they find that one treas

Sive can never possess. They
find Life!

Guadalajara

GuadaIajara
For those who seek all the
charm, change, warmth, color
and allure of foreign lands with
out too great a drain on the
purse or on the time consumed
in the trip, we would recon-
mend Mexico. Those familiar
with our sister republic will
agree with this statement.
One may make the trip to
Mexico leisurely or swiftly. Air
planes take the traveller swiftly
to Mexico. the train trip is ex-
tremely interesting and there
are plenty of steamer routes.
Vera Cruz is a port we'll worth
a visit and on the west coast
there is MaZatlan, a romantic
and lovely seaShore resort.
After you have tarried a while
in Mexico City make the trip to
lovely Guadalajara, one Of the
worlds sweetest cities. A tran
quill, sweet, restful place, 1t offers
much to the sightseer. Blue
sky, sunshine, rich trees, a pro

ton, beautiful buildings, plenty

lara, even if it is the second
largest city in Mexico. Between

But just the same, there is
plenty of commercial activity.
Big factories turn out vast guam
titles of beautiful pottery and
glassware, and other plants
manufacture druggist sundries,
wearing apparel and shoes, and
there are several canning plants.
Guadalajara is the Mexican
terminus of the railroad that
runs from the United States, so
there are offices and railroad
shops, both of which have large
staffS.
A City of Romance
Romance thrives in the lovely
city of Guadalajara. The sere-
made is heard, not only from
a lover to his black-eyed seno-
rita, but from groups of friends
who wish to honor a friend
on his birthday anniversary.
What matter if they have
been busy in factory. office or
shop during the day? There
is time, too, for beauty, for
romance, for friendship, for
enjoying life at its sweetest.
And this attitude is what
makes the city so fascinating.
The visitor soon enjoys and
enters into the spirit of it all.

"I went to Russia loving not

Durant. Like a hundred
thousand intellectuaLS and lib
erals, 1 have dreamed of her
as engaged in a heroic strug-
gle to liberate at least a por-
ton of mankind from the in
justices of modern industrial
ism.
II had expected to see a

happy-a government human

saw heroic things. For the
first time in modern history
a nation was planning it's eco
nomic life.
Disillusion
Men had been permitted to
free themselves f. I'M super
Stition. Thousands of new
schools had been opened, and
illiteracy-the secret of Gar
dom-had been almost wiped
out.
"But never had I known such
despotism, such herding and
bounding of men, such indus
trial serfdom and conscription
of labor. Never had I seen
a people so unhappy, so sus,
picious of one another. so
obviously living in endless ter
ror of universal secret police.
Never had I observed such
ruthless exploitation of the
country by the town, or so
complete a militarization of
the schools, or so thorough
deception of the people by
government-owned radio and
press, or such rigid censorship
of drama and every book, such
brutal application of exile or
death as deterrent to criticism
and dissent.

free press, or trial by jury, or
those other liberties which
have become the unconscious
basis and assumption of west

So much for Will Durant,
who went to Russia believer,
spent months there. and re-
turned sick and disillusioned
with the mockery of it all.

new Five Year Plan, to be
driven forward by conscripted
labor, one thinks of the out
