ROOSEVELT SON
WILL URGE HOT
CAMP A|GN .

First steps toward active par
ticipation by the Young Demo.
cratic Clubs Of America, with a
membership of 100000, in the
1895 campaign were taken here
today.
At a conference held at head
quarters in the National Press
Building, James Roosevelt, son OF
the President and national secre-
tary Of the organization, disclosed
that he will tour the country this
summer lining up the members to
spur them on to an aggressive
campaign"
He will open his tour in Chi
cago June 7, and the following
day will address the Young Demo
Gratis in Amarillo, Texas. The
second national convention Of the
organization is scheduled to be
held in Milwaukee August % and
~, and he announced that he will
urge the President to attend.
At the conference today, Cliff
woodward, of Des Moines. Iowa,
national president, revealed the
opinions of the Young Democrats
on national party policies as ex-
pressed by the organization in
A States.
There was marked division on
the question Of payment Of the
soldiers bonus and continuation
Of the NRA, but otherwise there
was solid support for the national
policies.
On the bonus question the
vote was: For payment, 10;
against payment, 81; for pay
ment with notifications, S. On
the NRA the vote stood: For
continuation, 16; for continuation
with notifications and reserva'
tons, II; against continuation, IL
Harmony seems to be the key
note of the young Democrats
work. If the committee reports
are approved by the National
Committee Of the Young Demo
cratic Clubs, they will be for
warded to the regular senior
organization, the National Demo
cratic Committee.

RELIEF WAGE PROTESTS

1t is not at all surprising that spokesman for
organized labor and certain statesmen who sympa-
thize with its position have made vigorous protest
against the scale of wage on the work-reliet pro-
gran, announced by President Roosevelt.
The wages are, of course, considerably below
those which would be paid by private enterprise in
projects of this character Labor leaders denounce
the plan and Senator McCarran declares it means
breakdown of the countrys wage standards
President William Green of the A. F. of L. even
intimates that it may bring strikes-of all things
strikes against relief activities engaged in to pro-
vide Jobs for the unemployed!
What seems to be overlooked in these criticisms
is the fact that the essential purpose of this pro-
gram is to provide for those who cannot find jobs
something better than charity distribution;
and to give these workers every possible incentive
to find better jobs for themselves on more endur-
ing basis in private enterprise. That is the only
effective method of weaving off" from relief The
president is following sound basic policy in this
program The maintenance of financial soundness
in the government itself depends upon bringing
such emergency expenditures down TO level with
in the nations current revenues as rapidly as pos
sible-Greenville News.

What the people of the North and South really

He was accompanied by his wife and party OF

streets at night they approached by man
who said he was the chief of police; that he de-
sired to warn them that the people were opposed
to their visit and he advised them to retire to their
hotel and keep out of sight, which they did.
Later the same man called on the land agent and
further advised him to take his party to their car
and leave town by the first train. He also suggest
ed that they leave the hotel by the rear so as not
to be observed Frightened by these warnings, the
party did as they were told. On the way out tney

DIsREGARDING THE CONSTITUTION

That the vast mass of the New Deal is unconstl-
tutiona lawyers doubtless would deny. 1t has been
forced through on the plea of public necessity.
Doubtless those forcing it through thought, as Ben
Tillman said when some of his measures were an
nulled by the supreme court, chow happy the peo-
pie would be if it were not for the dear consttu-
ton"
The situation is not conducive to vigorous moral
tone Let it be admitted that the constitution has
been in some particulars outgrown, and that the
Matchmaking of many economic and social proc
lens necesstates their treatment being national
lied 1t would be far healthier to accomplish that
task after first amending the constitution so as TO
grant congress such needed powers than to proceed
by twisting the constitution to mean what 1t was
never intended to mean, and what it cannot with
any reasonable semblance of sincerity by lnterp-
ireted to mean.

mperatives.-Newberry IS. c. Observer.

move would be to take him into

and the evidence was all against
him. He grew desperate.

HERO, WHO FLED FAME, CHERISHED
LIFE MORE ..
(By BRUCE CATION


Perhaps the most interesting thing about
this man Lawrence of Arabia was the fact
that he turned down wealth and ran away
from fame.
Here was a man who gave the twentieth
century a unique bareback to the age o.
chivalry. In time when men in the mass
seemed to be all that counted, he restored
the worth of the lone individual. He took
one little corner of a war in which machln-
cry and swollen battalions were all-im-por-
tant. and made it One-man show.
And then, having done all this-having
helped to remake the map of the world
and written an epic of old-faShioned,
knightly achievement - he voluntarily
stepped out of the spotlight.
He dropped out of the service OF the
British colonial office and buried himself
in the anonymity of an army enlisted man..
He wrote one of the most Accordingly in
teresting books of modern times and with
drew it from circulation after it had paid
his expenses - although it might have
made hundreds of thousands of dollars for
him.
He retired to an obscure country cottage
and = at time when newspapers and
magazines would gladly have paid him
fabulous prices for anything he cared to
write put in four years translating the
Odyssey
Now a man who could do all that can
be set down as a freak, if you wish; but
verdict like that doesn't begin to cover the
ground
What is apparent when you think the
matter over; is that this Lawrence somehow
learned something about life and the re-
wards it can give man which most OF Us
never quite discover.
1t is as if he had quietly told US that all
the things we prize most highly-wealth,
fame, high position, leisure, and the &C
claim of our fellows do not, after all,
amount to pint of beans.
The things that make the difference be-
tween good life and failure lie deeper
they take place inside man, deep. in the
recesses of his own heart, and the outward,
visible trappings are less than the dust.
This, to be sure, is not new discovery
Great men of all times and places have
usually reached the same conclusion have
discovered that if man can square mat
tiers between his own soul and the mysteri-
Gus, God-given impulse that drives him
forward, that is all that counts.
But the rest of us seldom get more thar
suspicion of it. We Want the outward
visible signs of success-even if these sign:
be no more than fine home in the suburbs
or 12-cylinder car, or our picture in thu
newspapers!
That, to Us, is what makes victory com
plete-untilI a man like Lawrence come
along and tells us that we don't know wha
we're talking about.

slipped off without my noticing
it."
If my friend had not thought
of asking this man to search his
pockets, he would probably have
been arrested; the coat would
have gone to the presser. And
who knows what would have hap
pened to the ring and to my
friend?
When a man is convicted on
purely circumstantial evidence, l
never feel sure that justice has
been done. think Of the boy who
stole the jam and smeared some
of it on the cats whiskers; then
his father shot the cat.
