Things Are Better

I AM not naive enough to believe that the state
Il ment Of the opposition who now are camoring
Tor chance to save the country are inspired bv
motives OF pure patriotism but neither do I ascribe
such motives to James Farley and his Democratic
organization. The rise of political contention en-
courag1ng, however in that it suggests that things
must be much better now than they were a year ago
when the opposition in such panic over the
ruin that they did not think it was worth fight
ing for.
Certainly in the city of Washington life is much
improved. People are not carrying their savings in
little bags around their necks under their shirts as
they were in the last hours of the long Republican
regime If they had been lucky enough to get to the
banks IN time. There is not so much back-f1ring in
The streets as there was year ago because there is
distinct improvement in the type of car indicating
that the citizens have been able to buy improves
ments
The hotels are crowded and under repeal the
dning-room and cafe checks are much bigger and
one hotel, alone has put fifty new walters check
ers and bartenders. to say nothing of the musicians
who fiddle and bleat for the cocktail trade in the
afternoon
There are superfcias, to be sure but a. year ago
the superfcials were very grim and the banks were
all sealed shut and the people had the Jumps.
This is no attempt to decide whether the present
condition merely means that the people have been
doped with big shot Of borrowed money and will
have to be doped again and again. Isn't,jt enough
to feel better without developing an attack of the
shakes over the possibility that pneumonia viii set

A Little of Key
TT seems to me that there distinct giveaway
i in the first two paragraphs of the motor maui
factUrers' manifesto.
It read
This is what is happening:
"The American Federation of Labor and other
outside unions are trying to force you to join their
and to pay dues to support professional labor
leaders"
A famous Chicago newspaper owner once said:
Il hate labor unions. 1 can't abide by EN-. And II
were worker I would most certainly join one"
Suppose for the sake of fantasy, Mr.. Automobile
Executive, that you an empoye in one of your
own plants. Where would you look for leadership?
The manifesto says professional labor leaders as
il that phrase in some way sinister. But
worker would be fool to put his trust in semi
professional labor leader and even more foolish to
enlist under the guidance of an amateur.

1t seems impossible to keep the citizens reminded
that the statesmen of the two parties are interested
exclusively in their jobs and the jobs which they
can deal out to their people in return for political
work. The trouble seems to be that people are in
curaoly innocent and have only occasional moments
OF practical sense when they realize what the pol
itician is and what his motives are.
1t depreSSes people to think such sordid thoughts
so most OF the time they select political heroes and
villains who are exactly alike in all essentials.

felt better. He asked what the ball
might be and how he might use it to
further regain his health.
This was what the chamberlain wanted
the king to say. He then completed
his instructions from the court physician.
"Oh, king, it is decreed that if you
would desire to become fully well and
again rule with strength and beauty
from your throne that you take this
ball and pass it around in game" To
this the king smiled, for it was agree
able to him to chase such a delightful
object all the day. 1t is one thing to
play with ball and another thing to
play with an dramatically spiced ball
that restores your health all the time
that you are playing.
The court chamberlain now played his
trump card, when he saw that the
king agreed to entertaining himself with
the ball "And further" he continued,

play with the ball with a long stick
on horseback and that members of your

The ball brought to the court chamber
lain by the servant was not large. But
it had the most peculiar odor. 1t was
the most satisfying odor that the oldest
courtier ever remembered of smelling.
The ladies of the court gathered round
that they also might smell the ball.
The dancing girls of the harem danced
more beautifully when the presence of

The king was on his throne when the
court chamberlain approached him. He
signified that he would like to converse

JURY CHECKS UP
IN ARLINGTON

Entering their fourth day of de-
liberations, the extraordinary Ar
lington county grand jury today
was expected to wind up their in
vestigation of reported shortcom-
ings in county offices and file a
report.
The jury last night completed
the file of witnesses called and
went into study of the evidence.
Judge Walter T. Mccarthy, of
circuit court, sent them home and
told them to finish their work
today.
Reports were that technicalities
alone kept the jury in session.
1t was rumored they had nearly
completed their work and only
needed to finish up with several
minor points.
The grand jury, called by Judge
Mccarthy at request of Common
wealth Attorney Lawrence w.
Douglas, is proving unusual to
observers at the courthouse.
Usually there are pretty well
substantiated rumors afloat dur
ing a grand jury session. This,
however, now stands with no
rumorS or reported leaks and no
one, not even the witnesses, able
to surmise what action the Jury
will take,

TAKOMA VETS
ARE INACTIVE

While the vets made no at
tempts to muster their forces,
advocates of the prohibition Of
the sale of liquor in Takoma
Park, D c., pushed forward today
in their campaign to keep the
community dry.
Whether legal liquor will be
sold in the Takoma Park section
will be decided September S.
A referendum authorized by the
District Commissioners will be
held and the 5000 adult resi-
dents of the community will vote
their approval or disapproval.
Thus far the drys appear to
be in control of the situation.
Scarcely an objection has been
voiced by the vets and what OBJ
jectionS have been raised were
scattered and disorganized.
Daniel j. Mattingly, who pre-
cipitated the controversy when he
applied for a license to sell liquor
in his drug store, expressed the
view that people in his commu-
nifty will drink anyhow end that
merchants in Takoma Park should
have the right to sell liquor to
them.
On the other hand, the Rev.
William Earl La Rue, pastor of
the Takoma Park Baptist Church,
says residents of the section want
their community known as a dry
area.

COAST GUARD
MARKS BIRTH

Established in 1890 to safe
guard the maritime interest of a
growing nation, the United States
Coast Guard will celebrate its
144th birthday anniversary to-
morrow.
The birthday of the service will
be simple one, with the men
going on about their duties Of
saving lives, assisting disabled sea
craft and enforcing maritime
laws. Their birthday cake will
be in the form of an anniversary
message from Rear Admiral
Harry G. Hamlet, commandant.
Today Admiral Hamlet pointed
to the service as one of the most
valuable assets of the Federal
Government. During 1888, he
declared, 6,492 persons were saved
from drowning by the guard, YES
sells and cargoes valued at over
40 million dollars were assisted

leaders. The employers met again
last night and it is understood
they are prepared to make fur.
ther concessions today.
Ever since the strike started
the employers insisted the fun
damental issue they were fight
ing was Communism. They
charged that the strike was di-
rected by Communists and in
sisted that the wage question was
"spotlighted" as the dominant
issue.
Offers Rejected
Strike leaders last night re-
jected the offer Of the employers
and suggested changes. One of
their objections was to a para
graph in which the employers ex-
pressed the intention Of not tax
ing back to work men now on
strike "Who are definitely known
to have been active participants
in the unlawful acts" The en-
ployers also referred to prefer
ential list of employees.
Strike leaders interpreted this
to mean that nonunion men
would be given preference in fill
ing jobs in the event an agree
ment was signed.
Leaders Freed
Three of the leaders arrested
in raids by National Guardsmen
William Brown, president of
the Truck Drivers Union, and the
two brothers, Vincent and Miles
Dunne-were released from the
military stockade after having
been incarcerated "a hours.
They were arrested on the
ground that they had conducted
a mass meeting Tuesday at the
parade grounds without a mill
tary permit. They were released
when it was discovered they had
possessed a permit after all.
Brig. Gen. E. A. Walsh, in COM
mand of the troops. explained
that the permit had been i'm
properly issued.
National Guard forces patroll-
ing the downtown area were re-
duced to about 500 men, indicat-
ing that General Walsh believes
civil authority is near.

One of the most cheering signs
he found was that people are

The fight centers around the
efforts of Senator Long and Gov

being registered for the Congress

Political waters were troubled
in still another quarter. State
tax assessors, appointed by the
Long faction, began to make a
new set of assessments for city

announced that their findings
would supersede the assessments

American people, Lawrence Wood,
jr., Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury, returned to the Capital
today after a 9,O0O-mile trip that
took him to all parts of the
country.
While there is no boom on, in
every section business is improv-
ing, Mr.. Robert said, with every
evidence that the improvement
will continue, slow but steady.
More Money For South
In the South, he pointed out,
there are indications that the
price of cotton and tobacco will
be higher, thus putting more
money in circulation and more
people to work.
In the Far West the Columbia
River project will be Of great
value to washington and Oregon,
and there is much enthusiasm
over this, he said.
The lumber industry, too, in
the Pacific Northwest has been
cheered by the Federal housing
program, which is expected to
create vast new lumber market.
The only dark spot he found
was in the middle Western
drought area. But even here, he
said, people have a feeling that
the Government will come to the
rescue of the farmer through
Federal grants and enable them
to work through their losses.
