responded John. Jr., slowly. Il
guess It's pretty sure now that there
r two or three million people who
aren't ever going to get work. They
can't, or they don't. fit IN. But
don't forget there's somewhere be-
tween seven and ten millions unem-
ployed. Most Of them want Jobs.
And until there are Jobs for them.
someone's got to see that they
don't starve.
" Who's going to do that? All Of
us, the government. You know
perfectly well the Community Fund

More And More Relief

said Jones, Sr. II know we worked
pretty hard on II every year, and
Lord knows we gave more than we
could really afford. but there's too
many on relief. and getting 70 be
more all the time.
That's the discouraging thing. IL
don't let UP. Sometimes I feel like
saying. We'll, I guess I'll Just give
UP and 50 on relief myself and stop

GARNER CLAIMS.
OBSCUR|TY
PLEASING
BY KARL M. KAHN
copyright, 1884. by International
Newa SerVice)

News SerVice)
Vice President Garner doesn't
get many headlines these days;
neither does he get many head
aches.
Cactus Jack" is quite content
with the situation in which he
foregoeS headline prominence and
is not afflicted with nationl-prob-
lem headaches.
He hopes, says friend who has
just returned from visit with Mr..
Garner at his Uvalde, Texas,
home, that the situation continues
another six and one-haf years.
First Hint of Plan
That is the first intimation that
Mr.. Garner wants Democracy's
nomination for the Vice PreSi-
dency in 1886.
Contrariwise, there had been
considerable talk that the Vice
President did not want renomina.
ton, and some talk that the Dem
ocrats would do we'll to select Mr..
Roosevelt's running mate from
doubtful MidWestern or Far West
ern State.
81 take the last train into
town and the first one out"
Representative John N. Garner
followed that rule for 80 years
while he was coming to and going
from the sessions of Is Congresses.
The Vice Presidency hasn't
caused him to alter the rule.
He took the first train out when
Congress adjourned. His friends
say he'll take the last one in when
Congress conveneS.
Happier in UvaIde
Who can blame the "Sage of
Uvalde?" That's what his neigh
bors call him, and down there
"neighbors" means the State Of
Texas.
In Uvalde Mr.. Garner certainly
is happier than he could be in
Washington.
In Uvalde he has his home; here
he has suite in hotel.
In Uvalde he hunts and fishes;
here he is hunted by jobseekerS
and those who fish for favorS.
In Uvalde he is the kingpin citi-
zen whose privacy is respected by
his friends and neighbors: here he
is the Vice President who has a
difficult time getting out of the
national goldfish bowl into which
every citizen thinks he has right
to peer whenever the notion strikes
him.
Foregoing headlines and not
bothered by headaches, Mr.. Gar
ner gets up at dawn and goes into
the woods to hunt, or he sleeps an
extra hour and gets up to answer
his mail, read the papers, say
"howdy'' to tourists who stop by
to see the Vice President, give ad
vice and counsel to his friends and
neighbors.
On the days he stays in town.
instead of hunting or fishing, he
takes mid-afternoon nap.
He reads a couple Texas news
papers: one from the National
Capital.
His mail is heavy. He answers
it in cautious Garner manner
non-committally.
He is leading exactly the life
Citizen John Garner would like to
lead.
Why shouldn't the "Sage of
Uvalde" take the last train into
town?
He knows what he wants and
he's got it. Unlike many, he
doesn't want to trade it for some
thing else.
