mental in framing much of the
New Deal.
Whether the time is ripe for
party realignment as between
conservatives and progreSSives re-
mains to be seen. Most poll
ticianS think it isn't. They point
to the alacrity with which con-
servative Democratic Senators
like Glass of Virginia, Bailey OF
North Carolina, Tydings of Mary
land, and Byrd of Virginia
hastened to disavow publicly any
connection with the new organ
ization or to espouSe its aims.
Glass Spurns Group
Peppery Carter Glass, who is
frankly antagoniStic to a large
part of the New Deal, expressed
the die-hard Southern Democratic
attitude by saying:
"A bad Democrat, bad as he
Is, is always better than a Re-
publican"
The belief prevails in many
we'll informed quarters in Wash
ington that the Liberty League
was formed at this time because
its sponsors fear and believe that
the Seventy-fourth Congress to be
elected in November will be more
radical" than the Seventy-third
which is now passing.
Continuance of unemployment
in the industrial centerS, to which
has been added the misery of the
great drought in the agricultural
regions, which has Impoverished
millions, have combined to make
situation where "radicaliSm" is
invited to great masses of the
population.
Tax Boost FOreSeen
The bill for these twin calami-
ties must be paid-either by taxes
or by a cheaper dollar. The taxes
can be paid only by those who
have: not by those who have not.
BY the same token, those who
have fear the other alternative
cheaper money and further infla-
ton.
Hence the emphasis in the
American Liberty Leagues char
ter upon the necessity for "protec-
ton of property and personal
rights"
A new tax bill is now in process
~ hnino written in the Trea Sl1rV
Those who are close to its manu-
facture say that. high as taxes
now are, the country "ain't seen
nothin' yet" in the matter of lev
les.
That is matter for the Sew
enty-fourth Congress-to-be. The
American Liberty League has per-
haps a year in which to dig its
defensive trenches.

RURAL SCHOOLS
SEEK ], s. AID
BY International News Service


The Federal Government may
have to go to the rescue of thou
sands of rural schools again this
year.
Appeals already are rolling into
the Federal Emergency Relief Ad-
ministration for aid, with asser-
tions being made that thousands
of schools will have to curtail
their terms unless the Govern
ment pays teachers.
With tax collections riddled in
many sections of the drought
area, where even farmers must
look to relief agencies for food,
hundreds of thousands of chill
dren may be deprived of their
school year unless aid is given.
Despite agitation, Congress
failed to make a special appro-
priation or earmark funds for
school aid in the closing days
of last session.

Baby Shirley Temple is after a

It comes to the local Fox a week

it clear that she cannot agree to

While emphasizing hostility to the
Locarno idea, Germany expresses
willingness to consider some multi
lateral pact looking to non-aggression
obligations and inter- governmental
consultation for preservation Of peace.
But the Reich firmly declines to make
Germany "the battle ground for all
possible conf1agrations in Europe and
draw upon herself dangers which no
serious adherent of such a pact can
possibly expect her to face"
Berlin is obviously in bargaining
mood. II the rest of Europe is inter-
ested in an Eastern Locarno, it now
knows that the price Is substantial
concessions to Germany in the do
main of ornaments, and must de-

Under the circumstances, the i'm

the League of Nations assumes ex-
traordinary Importance. Moscow's
obvious purpose in going to Geneva
is to fortify her position against
German aggression.
By abstaining from an Eastern Lo-
carno, the Reich has taken another
step in the direction Of isolation. The
cause of peace, despite Herr Hitler's
respected protestations of devotion to
it, is not advanced by Germany's at

suspicion, rightly or wrongly, that the
Nazis are not yet ready to renounce
their ambitions for territorial expan-

Duty of Citizens Is to
Preserve Constitution
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
On Monday there win be O celebra-
ton in many sections of the United
States Of the adoption Of the Consti-
tuition, the body Of which was adopted
at Philadelphia, September II, 1887.
Every citizen of the United States who
has not read this great instrument of
government should do 50 on this day.
1t Is especially important that we
should know our Constitution at this
time, because never before in the whole
history of the Nation has there cen
tered and been aroused such mo-
mentous issues, present and in the
near future, as now are under con-
sideration in connection with the In
depreciation and application of this
Constitution. Liberty, both political
and material security-the very hope
and future happiness and prosperity
of our people are at stake In the cor
rect solution of these issues. For the
first time in the United States the
very integrity of the Constitution has
been assailed, not by the ignorant, the
irresponsible, but by those holding the
highest offices in the Government, who
have taken a solemn oath to pre-
serve, protect and defend" it.
Wars, have threatened our past,
financial difficulties tried the patience
and courage Of our people, but never
before has a substantial part of our
citizens, with unashamed arrogance.

Government. One of the highest
officers. of the Government but the
other day, with seeming levity, spoke
of the American Liberty League, or
ganized to defend the Constitution,
as a body more intent to protect prop
erty rights than human rights" He
does not understand the Constitution,
mainly for the reason that he finds 1t
a limitation on some of his fanciful
and illegal projects. If he knows any
thing about the deeper meaning Of
history and the written constitutions
Of government, he should know that
there Is no distinction, when it comes
to the liberty, the security and the
welfare of any people, between the
protection Of legitimately acquired
property and personal rights, such as
a freedom of individual action, from
unreasonable interference, despotic
control and political, social or govern
mental oppression.
Human rights" are associated with
the security of the home, the preserva-
ton of property from the confiscation
of high taxation, the preservation of
the saving and investments Of the
people from depression, by Govern
ment action; the individual liberty TO
manage our business after our own
choice, free from unreasonable govern
mental regulations made without our
direct consent, but adopted by ire
sponsible subordinates In the public
service, exercising an illegal delega-
tion Of legislative power; the estab-
ished rule Of law, certain in meaning
that does not change with the vagrant
fancy OF an uncertain and impracti-
cal policy.

The last roses of Summer are not
SO good this year. except in spots.
where somehow they have managed
to retain a semblance of the glory of
former years.
1t is to be hoped that no one will
give up roses because they have not
f1ourished this year as well as usual
This year has been an exceptional
one in many ways. in none more so
than the comparatively poor showing
of the popular bush roses.
Paintings in public parks are
scrawny. in many instances, duph-
eating the poor results of private gar
dens. Somehow we expect perfect
results in our parks, where there is
expert advice on tap and seemingly
plenty of money.
AS pointed out here recently. rose
growers must return to proper Winter
protection for their bushes.
The old laissez faire days are gone,
indeed, when the amateur could for
get his roses for the Winter, secure
in the belief that the official ther-
mometer would not show them q
harmful slow"
He can be sure no longer.
The hand of Winter is as icy as
ever, judging from the past per-
formance, which the unofficial and
official prognosticators unite in be-
lieving will be repeated, in all prob
ability.
While it is to be hoped that no one
will give up roses, it is difficult not
to sympathize with those who feel like
doing so.
After all, there are plenty of flowers.
Consider the gladiolus, which this
column has praised for decade.
During the past few years these
unique, beautiful flowers have been
overtaken by veritable scourge.
Small insects, commonly called
thrips, have given the popular glowing
of the gladiolus its severest blow.
Accounts come to this desk of fine
spikes literally cut of in their bloom
ing.
The individual flowers drop of as II
cut with knife, and others are
frayed and crumpfed.
This nefarious work may be due
to some other blight, but 1t probably
is the result of the previous activity
of the thrip.
The point is that the average anna
teur grower is not equipped to combat
such floral failures. The professional
must. but the strictly amateur home
grower has neither the time nor in
clination.
He simply will grow something else
X X X
There are threats, then, for the ex-
clusion of roses and gladion from many
gardens
What a shame that would be!
These are such glorious flowers thai
no one should give them up lightly
or, we hope, permanently; but if, ir
the fullness of experience, one come:
to the decision that the same space
might be given with more satisfaction
to other plants, then by all means lei
the decision stand.
There are enough people in tht
world telling other people what to dC

1t is a solemn moment, horticultur.
