THY UNSEEN KINGDOM

Though sad and worn, no one should
mourn
A tickle fate's decree;
Each has a throne that is his own,
A kingdom none can see.
The world of mind yields to its kind
True friends for veal or woe;
And light divine will ever shine
Upon the way they go.
The starry CLEANS of wisdom's beams
Athwart their path will fall;
For though in tears, they trace
through years
A purpose in it all.
From toll and pain they harvest gain,
Real riches of the heart;
The wheat from tares, with earnest
pray'rs,
Their own hands pull apart.
If from a thorn scar is born
There's honest pride in scars!
Sears tell the fact of someone's act;
'Tis slothfulness that mars.
SO. if it be that now for thee
The way seems dark indeed,
Behold within the power to win,
The thought to meet thy need!
Claim as thine own the hidden throne !:
Accept thy sure increase;

FARLEY TO QUIT
ASPARTY HEAD,
CAPITOL HEARS
HeIvering, 0'Mahoney Named
As Possible Successors to
Democratic Chief
BY International News Service

Early retirement of Postmaster
General James A. Farley as DEM
ocratic National Chairman in
favor of either Guy T. delivering,
Of Kansas, or Joseph c. O'Ma'
honey, of Wyoming, was rumored
today on Capitol Hill.
Mr.. Helvering and Mr.. O'Ma-
honey have served as vice chair
men of the Democratic National
Committee.
Resignation Expected
Mr.. Farley's resignation has
been predicted ever since Presi-
dent Roosevelt expressed oppoSi-
ton to national committeeman
serving in Government posts. The
President gave a number Of them
the choice Of quitting the commit
tee or resigning their Government
positions. Most of them retired
from the committee.
Mr.. Farley was exempted tenn
porarily from this rule so he
might consolidate the party gains
recorded in the Roosevelt land
slide. That work has been COM
pleted and he is expected to re-
tire shortly after Congress adj
journS.
Would Have to Quit
Mr.. Helvering, now Internal
Revenue commissioner, would
have to resign from that post to
become national chairman. A
former mayor of Salina, KanS.,
he long has been active in Demo
cratic politics. He served as
Democratic State chairman Of
Kansas at the time of the con-
vention that nominated Mr..
Roosevelt.

REEDS VICTORY
SPURS HOPES
Of c. O.P.
House, Senate Candidates
Perk Up as "NeW Deal"
Gets First Spanking
BY GEORGE r.. HOLMES
BY International News Service

Candidates facing hard pri-
mary fights this summer-and
there are q lot of them
breathed considerably easier TO-
day as a result Of Senator David
A, Reeds apparent victory over
Gov. Clifford Pinchot in Penn
sylvania.
In their battle for the Republi-
can Senatorial nomination, Sena-
tor Reed assailed the New Deal
vigorously and often, while Gov
ernor Pinchot upheld it and even
mildly criticised it at times for
not going far enough to the lett.
Politicians Take Comfort
Senator Reed won, and from
that fact members Of the House
and Senate who are yet to face
the voters arrived at the rather
comforting conclusion today that
it may, after all, be politically
safe to crack down on the New
Deal and the general trend OF
things in washington.
The Pennsylvania result perked
up the Republicans. A good many
Of them have been rather forlorn
Of late. They have been so i'm
pressed with President Rosevelt's
personal popularity, and the ap"
parent public support of the New
Deal that they contemplated hav-
ing to go home and if not to
praise the Administration, at least
to speak softly concerning it. For
these Republicans Senator Reed
has "belled the cat" And for some
Democrats as well, for the New
Deal has no more severe critics
Tin private) than some of the
conservative members of the Presi-
dents own party.
Ballot in November
OF course, it is recognized that
a primary in May doesn't assure
the outcome in November. Never
theless, the fact that Senator Reed
went out and made his fight on
platform of old-fashioned mill
tant RepublicaniSm was a dis
tinctly comforting thought to
many.
Senator Reed will be opposed in
November by Joe" Guffey, Dem
ocratic National Committeeman
and chief patronage dispenser for
the Administration in Pennsyl-
vania, who won the democratic
nomination with ease from Ro-
land S. Morris, an "Old DeaW
Democrat, who was Woodrow
Wilson's Ambassador to Japan.
Mr.. Guffey was a Roosevelt man
before the Chicago convention
and as such had the Administra-
TONS blessing.
The principal political question
in the wake Of the Pennsylvania
outcome is Governor Pinchot'S
future course. He may run indie
pendently, and if he does it will
enhance Mr.. Guffey's chances for
success in November, even though
many think it inconceivable that
rock-ribbed Republican PennSyl.
vania should send a Democrat to
the Senate.
Big Democratic Vote
The Administration managed
to extract some comfort out Of the
voting. The Democratic vote was
large in comparison with other
years. and the Republican vote
was the ightest in years.
Jim" Farley refused to be per-
turbed. He said:
"Why, we don't consider that
there was any test of the New
Deal in Pennsylvania yesterday
at ALL"
