MILLIONS Of people are being educated in our
Iva country today to believe that someone owes
them a living. The laws Of nature do not seem
to recognize this doctrine.
Just 60 out into primitive country and see who
owes a living-you VIII soon find that your exis-
tence depends on your ingenuity and initiative.
Governments were organized to go nature one
better and make it a little easier to live and to take
care Of the helpless whom nature would otherwise
uneeremoniOusly remove.
But today millions Of perfectly healthy, able
bodied people are being taught to loaf at the ex-
pense Of the savings Of others, instead Of To rustic
for themselves.
Such a system can endure only so long as there
are stored-up savings to confiscate, then the mex
orable laws Of nature VIII prevail
An epidemic of pests completely devours a tree
or a field Of grain and then the pests die. Nature
does not owe them a living.
The same thing can happen to governments and
to the human beings who make the governments
if they eat UP their capital to maintain idleness
they viii eventually find that nature refuses To
hear their demands that someone owes them a
living
This may not be a pleasant-sounding phiIos-
ophy, but It IS fact which honey-coated. political
cure-alls try to hide.

FARMERS AND FARMERS

But the difference in sentiment
goes far deeper than personal
differences between northern and
southern judges. It's my guess
that much the same things would
have happened had the judges
changed benches for the day.
MODS AND COURTS
There viii be those who viii
object violently to these conclu-
siOns on the ground that the Miss.
isSippi lynchers were alting as q
mob while Judges Reeves was
enforcing law and order. The dis
tinction is too easy. Some times
it Is pretty hard to tell where the
mob leaves off and where the
courts begin.
For example, there is little
doubt that the southern Judge and
the sheriff were working hand In
glove with the mob. In effect, the
judge passed a sentence of death
on Higginbotham an handed him
over to the Iynchers instead of to
the regular hangman-
Whether farmers are checkmat-
ed by a mob or by prison sen
fences is a little beside the point
It makes no difference to a mar
fighting for his home and his
right to earn a living whether ht
prevented from doing so with OF
without benefit of the statutes
made and provided as the law
yers say. Either way, he is out OF
luck.

Alta Vesta from her Father-No. lis
Dear Alta Vesta:
Some things IN your letter were
very amusing and others were very
serious. I am sure they are more
serious than my little girl knows. I
shall try to give you light on some
Of these subjects Oh some of these
problems, for really all such are
problems which tax Us to solve.
TO begin with, Jesus was a man.
He had human parents. He was born
much as are al other children. He
was a little baby and grew up to ~
z big boy and finally a man he had
flesh and blood; He got hungry and
thirsty; He became weary, We would
say physically weary, meaning bis
body got tired. All these show He
was a man
Then Jesus was more than a man.
Hewas the son Of God. This nobody
can explain or understand. But, re-
ligion j. o founded On what we
know, what we can prove, but on
faith, what we believe
The Bible tells Us Jesus died, was
~crucified on the cross, to save the
world. We cannot understand this,
20 we just believe 1T and W. on- This
Jesus who died on the cross and was
buried arose again on Easter Day, the
Easter Day we have been writing and
talking about.
Well, this has been a long letter,
and a very serious one. Lots 0f love

NO DIFFERENCE

This is a lesson that it's pretty
hard for Americans to learn. Most
Of US have patheric belief in the
courts and in the theory that they
are fair and impartial But be-
hind every law turks the fact that
somebody wrote it and somebody
has to enforce it. Common sense
is enough to let US in on the fact
that laws in the south are made
by and for the benefit Of the land
owning class.
That same common sense ought
to lead Us to see that northern
laws are made by and for the Der
eft Of the rich corporations and
mortgage holders, The South has
a tradition Of enforcing laws out
side the courts; the process i
more gentle il the north where
the courts carry on without much
outside interference.
Mississippi farmers get lynch
ed; Missouri farmers 60 to jail
And all the while the few gobble
up the land IN both sections and
leave the farmers families to
starve. There is a Obstruction ia
methods but In difference in re-
suits.

Striving for Mastery
By r A. ADAMS
(For the Literary Service Bureaul

All who for mastery may strive,
Must oftentimes themselves deprivi
And fond desires must sacrifice,
For mastery demands such price.
Who'd wwni in life's exciting race,
Or would ascend to highest place.
Must lay aside all that would tend
To hinder when they would ascend.
All who would make Of life, the best
IN purity and helpfulness,
Must exercise complete control
Over the body, mind, and soul.
And, only those who vict'ry win
Over all selfishness and sin,
Can others help,who striving, would
Attain unto the greatest good"

MOTHER FINDS
LONG LOST SON

Middletown, Conn.,, Aug. 16 -
@UP) - Death today reunited a
New Bedford, Mass, mother and
her son whom she had not seen or
heard from in II years. When po-
lice broadcast a description Of an
unidentified accident victim whose
body lay unclaimed at a morgue
for five days, Mrs. Mary p Finch
inquired for more complete de-
tail. Accompanied by a relative,
she came here late yesterday and
identified the body as that of her
son, William, 38, who left home
in 1921 to work at Norwalk. The
coroner exonerated George Staro-
bin, Port Chester, N. Y, driver of
the car.

France and italy conferred here in
an effort to avert the war and its

Great Britain was said to have

the small nations breaking away
from their present protective alli-
ances, leading to general resump-
ton Of the pre-war political situa-
ton, with Italy perhaps isolated II
the war causes a collapse Of her
financial system.
Italy's position at the three-pow-
er conference appeared adamant.
Premier Benito Mussolini was un-
derstood to have insisted that his
troops invade and occupy Ethiopia
to insure that the Italian demands
for territory and economic priv
ileges are complied with.
Britain and France prepared a
compromise plan making wide con-
cessions to Italy, but providing for
international control. It was not
certain that Mussolini would forego
his demand for italian military oc-
cupation, however.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-08-16

The climate in the south is worse,
the rivers feed vast swamps where
fevers are bred, water supplis are
lacking, broad areas are covered
with thorns and jungle like brush
through which an army could only
with enormous difficulty hack its
path and even mechanical units
would be severely impeded.
The few wells in region are dan
gerous, their mineralized water
having a laxative effect. Moreover
they are used by camels and sheep
and many, containing sulphurated
hydrogen, are perilous alike for
man and beast.
May Build Railway
British authorities believe that
the Italians may attempt to con-
duct their campaign by building a
railway into Ethiopia from the
south. Realization Of such an effort
would require, under favorable cir
, cumstances, at least two years, it
is expected. But once accomplished
It would assure Italian victory.
Much of the Italian fighting
would have to be in the lowlands
in some parts of which Lions,
Rhinoceroses and Leopards roam.
Malaria and typhoid are common.
Numerous lepers roam the country.
In all districts syphilis is wide
spread.
These gruesome allies of Ethio-
pia may, before the campaign Is
we'll under way, strike terror even
into the courageous hearts of the
Italian troops, eager for a fight,
British experts say.

auditorium, explaining:
Called Dirty Swine
"The dirty swine tore down a
poster that had been pasted on his
window"
A crowd gathered and some
shouted:
where's the Jew? Let's get
him!"
'SS". men at the scene induced the
crowd to dispense.
As they left members OF the
crowd shouted:
Germany, awake! Perish,
Jews!"
The poster which was supposed
to have been pasted on the store
window was q page of Streicher's
weekly Der Stuermer'' in which
for years he has denounced Jews.
Streicher's speech was in his
usual vein. 1t lasted but az
hours. His last big one lasted AN
hours. He attacked Roman Catho-
hes as We'll as jews.
To Drive Them Out
He has come, he says, to drive
Jews out of Berlin, and he start
ed on them last night while po-
lice kept crowds moving in the
main streets, particularly in the
Kurfuerstendam, Berlin's Broad
way, where bloody anti-Jewish
riots occurred a month ago.
Streicher was ironic, derisive
and impassioned in turn.
Here in Germany, every once
in while a Jew and a renegade
German woman are paraded in the
streets wearing placards branding
them for their crime Of race pol
lution," he said at one point. "Peo-
pie must be made conscious of this
danger. In America almost every
week a negro Is lynched for at
tempting to rape white woman.
We in Germany say it serves him
right"
None Has. Been Shot
Complaining that foreign sources
called last months riots a pog-
rom, he asked:
HAS a single Jew been shot? '
mo-" chorused some in the audi
ence.
He ridiculed reports that 800
Jews were killed at Nuremberg.
He went on to describe an ex-
perience he had at the zoo. He
saw group Of German children
admiring birds and lambs, he said,
while a group of Jewish children
pushed on tot see the beasts of
prey.
"Why did they do that?" he
asked his hearers. Because IT
was their blood surge-blood calls
tot blood"
Hits Catholic Bishops
Turning to the Roman Catholic
bishops, he criticised their concep-
ton of mixed marriages.
when Catholic wants to
marry a Protestant they talk of a
mixed marriage, +" he said. "But
when a negro with a Catholic GER
tificate of baptism wants to marry
a white Catholic woman that is
not mixed marriage in their
view. After nine months what
have we in the basket? Here a
child with every stigma of darby
blood; there smiling, rosy Ger
man baby with no mark of re-
legion whatever.
''The time is coming when a
Jew with Catholic baptismal GER
tificate will not be permitted to
marry in Germany. Although
there is no law regarding race
pollution, yet thank God we have
judges who send a man to the
penitentiary for defiling the race"

In order to wipe out the bitter
memory of their defeat at Adowa
when Ethiopian warriors cut to
pieces an Italian experidtionary
force, killed or wounded 1900 men
and captured from $500 to 5000,
it is believed that one of the first
Italian objective will be Adowa,
near the Eritrean frontier.
To Strike Southwark
With airplanes, tanks and mo-
torized artillery cooperating with
infantry, the Italians are expected
to strike southwark from the re-
gion between Asmara, Eritrean
capital, and Agordat. It was
thought that flanking column
might advance southwark from the
neighborhood of the Gulf of Zula.
In their advance. from the As
mara front toward Adowa the
Italians will be confronted by the
first great natural barrier of Ethio-
pia--a gorge approximately $500
feet deep which would be a grave
obstacle until roads could be built.
According to British military OBJ
servers the roads could be built
only in full view Of Ethiopian out
post sharpshooters.
The northern front battle line of
the Philippians was expected, be-
cause of the nature of the, terrain,
to extend roughly from Axum
through the Adowa region, and
eastward to Adigrat, paraelleling
the Eritrean frontier and some rs
miles south of it. It would be a
line about 40 miles long, probably
loosely defended by Guerilla meth

Rogers a feature performer with
the "Follies.'
Rogers was big success and in
1919 Samuel Goldwyn offered him
a motion picture contract which he
signed. After meteoric rise in
/, Hollywood, Rogers returned briefly
to his first love, the "Follies," for
the year of 1921 and then devoted
another year to picture-making.
In 1924 he rejoined the 'follies"
at a weekly salary reputed to be
larger than that paid to any other
player of the spoken stage. After
a season he returned again to Hol-
lywood where his stage fame be-
came greater than ever and Rogers
produced series of successes such
as Happy Days" Ambassador
Bill", state Fair" and Judge
Priest"
Rogers talents also extended to
authorship and politics. He once
was named for governor of Okla
homa but declined the nomination.
Despite his long residence in Cali
fornia, he was persistent press
agent for his native state of Okla
homa and spread the fame of
Claremore far and wide. He also
served as mayor of Beverly Hills,
exclusive screenland suburb.
In his newspaper comments, lin
tied generally to rs words, Rogers
talked in common Language of the
news events of the day.
Criticism sometimes was poked
at his ordinary folks" mannerisms
as assumed and unsuited to one of
the richest men in the amusement
business.
Among the humorous books writ
ten by Rogers are Letters of A
Self-Made Diplomat" and the THE
Illiterate Digest" which againg re-
flected the country background of
an everyday American.
Rogers was married to Betty
Blake on November rs. 1908. They
had three children-Will, Jr., Mary
and James. In his later years, one
and. forming a team with his chill
dren, he became one of the most
ardent enthusiasts on the Pacific
coast. As a poloist, he maintained
his average" attitude, wearing
blue denim trousers and a white
sweat shirt.
The comedian was an incessant
talker. And as fast as he talked.
his jaws kept time with wad of
gum. He refused to dress up-his
best wear was q blue serge, double
breasted suit and this he wore even
when he served as POSTMASTER at
the most formal banquets. Rogers
gum-chewing however. was part of
his act. He chewed chiefly to keep
from smoking. on stage and screen
he chewed the tips OF his spectacles
He often claimed that he had
chewed IS pairs Of spectacles up In
two years. IL spectacles weren't
handy. rubber bands served.
