CLUB DISCUSSES
FISH and GAME
Sportsmen Not in Favor of Fish
and Game Measures for
Special Session.

Notwithstanding the fact that sew
eral of the papers of the state have
been loudly clamoring for bill at the
session of the legislature now convened
for bill repeating the law which con-
stituted the Minnesota Conservation
Commission several of the sportsmen's
organizations have declined to stick
their noses into the affairs of the special
session called primarily for other pur-
poses.
The Arrowhead Sportsmen's ASsoci-
alton, one of the most active in the
state and concerned in a larger ex-
tent with the conservation measures of
the state by reason of being located di-
rectly in the heart of the country being
conserved, at the last meeting held in
Virginia passed the following resolutions
which explain themselves:
Whereas, Current newspapers
throughout the state are publishing
articles purporting to indicate that
on the part of several Sportsmen's
organizations, there is contemplated
the presentation to the special ses-
sion of legislature, proposals to
change, revise and add to the
present laws governing wild life
conservation, and more particu-
larly to investigate the Departm snt
of Game and Fish with the avoved
object in view of repeating the law
which heretofore constituted the
creation of the State Conservation
Commission and,
Whereas, in the opinion of this
Association such subjects at this
time, submitted to special session
of the legislature which has been
called primarily for the considera-
ton OF measures dealing with Social
Security and Unemployment Insur-
ance, would be inopportune, futile
and devoid of any possibility of
serious consideration.
Therefore Be It Resolved, that
representation be made through our
several representatives, to the men,

Always Growing

While the District Commissioners and their aides are
telling the Federal Bureau of the Budget that the city
government must SPEND MORE MONEY, committee
of city officials is planning program to GET MORE
MONEY OUT OF THE TAXPAYERS.
DiIiqent search of the District Building fails to
reveal any officials UhO trying to cut dOLUn the
cost of the local government and lessen the burden
on the taxpayers.
Maybe the organization of our local government is
perfect.
Maybe every cent that is being spent is being spent
for necessity.
Maybe this city has to spend fortyve million dollars
a year on its government
But Ue think that somebody should be trying to
find out lDe hare to spend this much money, just
the same somebody is GllUays at UOOrk trying to
prOUe that Ue do
Somebody should have the job of finding the loose
thousands of dollars in the District budget.
SOMEBODY SHOULD HAVE THE JOB OF FIND
ING OUT IF SOME OF THE AGENCIES OF THE
LOCAL GOVERNMENT CREATED IN BYGoNE
DAY COULDN'T NOW BE ELIMINATED
The city and Congress constantly getting advice
both from citizens and from the States, that
such and such an agency should be established.
Nobody has yet thought of recommending the aboi-
tion of any of the bureaus departments already in
existence.
Those uhO are Uiewing the functiOning of the
committee of officials studying neU and additional
taxes Nth eQuaninrity are going to get rude
awakening one of these days.
There is every reason to believe that this committee
will recommend taxes which would greatly increase the
burden of local residents.
AND ONCE THE RECOMMENDATIONS COME
FROM A COMMITTEE WITH ANY COLOR OF AU
THORITY THEY WILL PROBABLY BE SWEPT
THROUGH A CONGRESS WHICH DELIGHTS IN
SOAKING THOSE WHO ARE HELPLESS.
Now is the time for District residents who don't want
to be swamped by more taxation to demand that the
emphasis be changed from increasing expenditures and
taxes to CURTAILMENT OF UNNECESSARY Elk
PENSE.

Even the resting earth is differ.
ent, in these autumn days-purple
as eggplant-deeply rich, and still.
And fragrant, too, with all the
crumbled perfume of the year
pollen and petal, aromatic gum,
dissolved to dust by sun and vino
and rain.
The light lies low and thick, a
honey colored glaze in which the
garden floats, a blur OF rose and
jade.
The garden is a shaggy tangle
now, yet somehow lovelier than
any other time-richer with mean
ing. Each day the mystery deep
ems like a spell. Almost, one hears
low laughter. catches fain, sweet
calls. feels trailing fingers clutch
as one goes by.
RICH RELEASE
Old age, I think, should come
to us like this. Not hated. dreaded,
like an ugly fate. But like a lovely
ripening-rich release! There's so
much more in life than bud and
blosso m-busy summer, pretty
spring. The harvest times the
prbudest time Of all.
To show, at least, all that we've
won from life wearing our
wrinkles like a croix de guerre.
To cast aside all pretenSe, and dis
play the rich and varied tangle OF
the soul and flesh the secret
wildness which gives life it's tang
the mirth that burst, like scat
tered weeds, from out drab bonds
the passion that we dared not
show, unpruned. To be, at least
our own, rich glowing selves.
I wonder why we, think an au-
tumn gardens dead.
I wonder why We shrink from
age with dread.

RULES ON LOVE.ROUTE


The best time to fall in love with
a man is either before the girls
begin to crowd around and spoil
him-or after the crowd has
thinned out and the swelling in
his head has gone down a bit.
A mans heart is like a formal
garden, with a place for each emo
tion, until a wild love blows in,
like a weed, and crowds everything
else out.
Marriage is like driving a car.
It doesn't matter how much good
judgment you use-if the other
party won't obey the traffic rules,
you're bound to have a smash-up.
If a woman is honest, she will
tell you that the most troublesome
little boy" around the house is
the one whom Junior calls
daddy"
Automobiles and alcohol are not
the only dangerous combination.
There are jealousy and an auto
matte; and a susceptible old play
boy and fountain pen.
The gorgeously staged and ex
pensive looking weddings one sees
on the screen, these days, make a
girl sigh with envy and a man
shudder with apprehension.
No matter how much her
friends may assure a spinster
that they envy her her freedom
they only succeed in convincing
her that "single blessedness" is
just "the other 10 per cent"

RETURNS
Scheduled to arrive in Washing
ton before long is Representative
B. M. Jacobsen, Democrat OF
Iowa.
First Democrat to be elected to
Congress from the Corn State in
many years, Jacobsen witnessed a
political upheaval in Iowa that
sent a majority Of Democrats to
the House.
Although one of the first mem
bers scheduled to return for the
opening of the next Congress he
left washington rather early last
session in order to attend celebra-
tions in his own district which
commemorated the golden we'd
ding anniversary of Jacobsen and
his wife.
CHANGES COURSE
Like locking the door after the
horse is stolen, Secretary Of In
terror Harold L. IckeS has decreed
that no more Nazi steel or other
foreign materials shall be bought
for PWA use without his sanction.
Following the tremendous objec-
ton voiced against purchase of
German steel for use on the Tri-
borough bridge in New York city,
the PWA Administrator agrees
that in the future foreign ma
terialS must not be purchased un-
less he gives his approval.
In answering critics of the Nazi
steel purchase, Mr.. IckeS used the
sarcasm and cauStic language so
closely associated with his entire
regime.
Since he first took office he
has developed the reputation for
having one of the Sharpest
tongues in the official family
and for using it at any moment
he chose.
His venom has been directed
at other officials and members
Of Congress, many Of whom have
been impressed by his rapier-like
repartee.
He has told members of the
Senate and others to attend to
their own business and he would
take care of his affairs. In view
of the fact that he was PWA
Administrator, many of them
chose to avoid further conflict
with him.
When his PWA tolerated the
purchase Of Nazi steel on an
American project, with millions
of Americans out Of work, Mr..
Ickes continued caustic when the
storm Of opposition broke.
But he changed his course,
nevertheless.

Journeys

A pleasant pilgrimage that is
the delight of folk from many
lands and of many different
creeds is that to ASSisi-the city
of st. Francis. Assist lies on a
spur of Monte Subasio withdrawn
from the valley and looking down
over the Umbrian plains, with
fertile valleys and lovely little
toy towns and many-hued vii
lagos perched on the sides Of the
mountains and steep rocks Of the
Umbrian hills. So we pass lovely
Trevi and Spello, hurrying on to
Assist. If we go by train, we dis
cover that the railroad station Is
about three miles distant from
the town and we have to ascend
a winding, climbing road to the
lovely city above.
A few miles below Assist is the
valley where the oratory was
given to Francisco and his little
band of followers, which served
as the foundation Of what has
become a great order. Nearby
are the mountain hermitages OF
La Verna and Carceri where the
first Franciscan, the Little Poor
Man of Assist" retired to medlta-
ton, prayer and fasting.
A few miles from Assist is the
church of Santa Maria degli An
geli, set in vineyards and olive
groves. Beneath its massive dome
stands the cell where st. Francis
died. also the Portinuncula, the
cradle of the order founded by
st. Francis.

AUTUMN GARDEN

The garden is a shaggy tangle
now. Nothing orderly any more
nothing unscarred. All the small,
sharp prettiness of spring gone
the fat tidiness of summer.
Now you see, openly. the mark
of all the days-rough wind and
sun-and times when everything
lay drowned in fog. Even the
mark of lonely, waiting nights.
It's all there now. Not covered
up, or tied back, any more.
And yet-it's not like something
finished. Rather like something
that at last has come complete
like some fine face that's
dared to walk with life.
I wonder why they think an
autumn gardens dead!l
The leaves pile in a coppery
litter on the walk. Between the
bricks, the weeds sprout undis,

tassels like those quirkS of char

@ 1NCE 1914 the world mas uVed In a STATE OF
y fear, of creeping, bending, nervous apprehen-
sion. Everybody breads something. Europe looks
forward with terror, to another war; that if it
comes will be caused by the dangerous League of
Nations, supposedly planned "to end war" This
country has endless fears. Ten millions are idle;
men inexperienced and incompetent are expert
menting with the nations welfare a purely
theoretical basis, scientists experiment with
guinea pigs; millions that were independently we'll
to-do are reduced to poverty; other milli ms
equipped to do good work, including thousands of
young well-educated men, find that the nation has
no work for them to do.
Fear is the curse of individuals and nations, "the
parent of cruelty the fear that makes men be-
leve the worst"
Montaigne, wise Frenchman, said: "The thing in
the world l am most afraid of is fear, and with
good reason; that passion alone in the trouble of
it, exceeding all other accidents" Well may the
wise be "afraid of fear" which destroys all
power to resist that which is feared
Fear magnifies its object, breeds cruelty in a
generous mind, and once settled in the character,
means "no more progress"
"Timidity is disease of the mind, obstinate and
fatal; for man once persuaded that any impedi-
ment is insuperable has given it, with respect to
himself that strength and weight which it had not
before. Samuel johnson.
Contrasted with the picture of fear, it is pleas
ure to look on the face of Mussolini man who
does not creep, crawl or cringe, one to whom fear
is stranger.
You do not wonder that Italians, seeing this man
face to face, hearing his voice. follow eagerly
who delights to Give dangerously" after more
than one attempt to assassinate him, well knowing
that other attempts brewing. You are glad that
there are still living men to whom fear, physical
or mental, is unknown.
Brave men are in the United States-every coun-
try has them, but many are condemned to iNGctton;
there is nothing that they actually DO, and
inaction in itself breeds fear
In the admirable picture above, which Arthur
Young made for Charles Dana Gibson, of Life, long
ago. fear is powerfully expressed in every face and
attitude; even the sky and the bending tree seem
to tell of fear -
Fear means, first of all, INACTION. Darwin
tells you that the sign of fear, among all earth's
inhabitants, is the sudden opening of the mouth,
with cessation of breathing, motion, no sound
to attract attention. That is the first impulse of
the frightened mind. Imagine yourself suddenly
face to face with ghost if that were possible
Instantaneously the mouth would open, breath
would STOP Now as you read, pause to drop the
lower jaw, look breathlessly straight ahead, and

you will see how fear is expressed spontaneously.
Men can fight other evils; they cannot fight
against fear for fear destroys power of the will,
the weapon with which men resist This gloomy
picture represents tens of millions Of men and
women today.
To get rid Of the curse of fear is todays first
necessity. That fact was impressed forcibly upon
the class of 1885, by Dr. Conant, President Of
Harvard, in his Baccalaureate sermon, based on
text from St. Matthew:
why are ye fearful, ye Of little faith?"
The young men whom he addressed, starting life
in world with nothing to offer, had cause for
fear, and DR.. Conant recognized it.
"A man would have to be in most unrealistic
mood indeed to paint rosy picture of the future
which lies Immediately ahead of US You all know
the gravity of the situation: millions of unem-
ployed, uncertainty facing Others dislocation of
our national life caused by an economic depression
to cure which radical expedients are being boldly
urged by restless groups. In at least two foreign
countries we see the brutal and degrading tyranny.
In the whole world reason ebbs and hope for free
dom and liberty runs low. In more than one quar-
ter there is the menacing threat Of war.

twenty years ago at the close of the war to end
war now seems almost extinguished. In regard to
international peace, in regard to reasonable forms

The Washington times., 1935-11-16

DR.. Conant urged upon the young men the
necessity of evolving solid philosophy Of life
a philosophy of life which will enable you to face
the future unafrald.
President Conant, who hopes that "the disinte-
grating and demoralizng state of fear will not in
crease" describes it eloquently:
II do not need to dwell on the many signs which
today are symptomatic of an irrational temper; if
they increase, what is now a general apprehension
will become that dangerous mob psychology we
call terror.
I'VE all know that when real terror seizes an
individual he ceases to be rational creature and
his standards Of decency go by the board. He will
believe the incredible, spread the widest rumors,
turn on the members of his own family, and betray
his best friend
"A group of people or a nation will behave in a
similar way Historians still use the word terror
to mark certain disgraceful chapters Of history
which can be studied if one wants to learn Of
human nature at its worst. Those who have wit
messed crowd suddenly overcome by terror de-
scribe revolving spectacle. In mob seized with
a panic, man reverts to the beast and only his
animal instincts remain with which he fights ruth
lessly and bndly for his preservation. Nothing
counts but himself. 70 this extreme a man may
be driven by great fear"
DR.. Conant urged the departing students to seek
Cicero, "To be ignorant of what occurred before
you were born is to be always child,' reminding
them that conditions have been infinitely worse,
with causes for fear greater than at present He
wondered how many had considered the state Of
Central Europe after the Thirty Years War; Do
they realize what mankind has been throughT
Not to take ourselves or what may happen, too
seriously, helps to cure fear that prevents self
defense.
Dr. Conant tells how "a Roman philosopher who
was also statesman and soldier expressed it
simply The universe is either confusion, or it is
unity and order and providepce. If the former,
why do desire to tarry in an accidental combina-
ton of things and such disorder? But if the latter
is true I venerate and am firm You can not
answer this fundamental question if you attempt
to measure the universe with the personal yardstick
of your own happiness and sorrow"
