CANNED" LETTERS

This pother in the Senate about the propaganda
of the utility holding companies has its amusing
side The Senators are fairly swamped by mail ask
ing them not to vote for the administration bill,
which would, with some exceptions, wipe these con

and it's cost. .r. ...,. .,.l.... .,.. 49,.
There is no doubt, of course, that many of these

directly inspired by some of the holding companies
through orders to employees and solicitation to out

national lawmakers are bombarded by communi-
cations from organized labor and the American
Legion, however they do not protest These let
tiers represent votes. If the holding companies now
under the displeasure of President Roosevelt rep

what it did?
If the holding companies cannot make out a

If indeed she had ever been al

But she was fortunate in hav-

prevent her from going: with this
married man; but that they could
stick to her as tight as glue while
she was going with him. ..
SO every time she returned
from going out with this man. she
found her old gray-headed father

were there. And they usually had
a cup of tea or some little re-
freshment for her before she
went to bed. And there was no
word Of censure; but the sadness
in their eyes spoke volumes.
And this had its effect. She
began not to stay out so late with
the man. She could not bear to
keep the old folks sitting up; and
she could not bear the light of
anguish in their eyes. So she
finally dismissed the man.
Then she began to get back to
where she had been. She regained
her sense of true values-and to
this was added the knowledge of
bitter experience. :....
Finally she met a man who was

SOCIAL SECURITY" THAT MAKES
LOUNGE LIZARDS"

Social security is righteous ideal for repub-
lie, but social security, like the Kingdom of God,
is within you or unpossessable.
This thing of the government guaranteeing, Or
attempting to, every citizen lifted social eco
nomical level, manufactured out of plans and pro-
grams and undergirt with nothing more stable than
money, is whipped-cream variety of this desirable
attainment.
1t used to be that social security was the con-
trolling motif of an individual career-men pio-
neered, swan rivers, chseed paths over noun
tains waded through blood and wore themselves
out in hard and rugged exploits to secure for them
selves an economic level of independence.
Through that experience our forbears became
men of granite. They not only made their fortunes
but they made their fate.
When the government undertakes to impose the
same ideastic state upon a given people, it makes
lounge lizards out of them.-Julian S. Miller in

THEY NEVER QUIT

The WaycrOss, Ga, JournaEHerald pre-
sents the case in this way:
Have YOU ever seen newspaper reader quit
newspaper reading?
We have known hunters who quit hunting.
We have known fishermen who quit fishing.
We have .known golfers who quit golfng.
We have known business men who quit business
We have known politicians who quit politics.
We have known friends who quit being friendly.
We have known drinkers who quit drinking.
We have known sinners who quit SHINING.
We have never known a newspaper reader who
quit newspaper reading.
Should that mean anything to the newspaper
advertiser?
The foregoing presents the argument III
unanswerable form. The newspaper read
er, day by day, as long as he lives or she
lives, reads the favorite newspaper. This
is due to the fact that there is news every
day and newspaper readers desire to know
it day by day. They refuse to read one day
and quit reading the next, or read for a
year and then quit reading for year or
two years.
Nova large majority of newspaper
readers KNOW IndL the advertising III IItS
daily newspaper has great value to them
that it is usually of as much interest and
value as the newsstand they want to read
the advertising day by day and do read
so much as is printed. With certainty fac
ing them that newspaper readers are look
ing for the advertising as we'll as the news,
advertisers can always make certain that
they will have an audience; then If they
have messages for the public, and the pub
lie is willing and eager to read these mes
sageS and respond to them, isn't it some
what strange that business men will hest
tate about placing their advertising mes
sages where the people can see and be in
flueneed by them?
1t really ought not to be necessary to
convince any business man that he should
advertise and advertise daily, or at least
frequently, Systematically, and so long as
he remains in business.
Newspaper readers never quit reading
either news or advertising. The logic of the
proposition is that advertisers should al
ways have something in the newspapers
for readers to read.

A GOOD SLOGAN

vote to abolish something or other"
That would be an excellent platform for legisla-

tude of new laws seems to be the purpose of many
legislators. Soon after the session begins food of
bills finds it's way to the desk. Time is wasted
winnowing the wheat from the chatf and the SEES
sion becomes a tiresome drawn-out affair that
veXes the electorate. What a grand and glorious

to cut the dead wood out of the statutes and erect
