watchdog of the State Highway fund
but as chairman of the Senate roads

shyed away from bill to give the
the highway commission authority to
pay Dare county something in re-
turn for tolls it now receives from
the Roanoke Island bridge. The Stote
would make the bridge toll free and
the county would use the annual
State payments to retire bonds. Sena-
tor Spence feared this might be used
as lever to obligate the State High
way fund to pay other county bonds.

but a single project of many which he
entertained, developed and supported.
AS early as 1899 he foresaw and advo-
Gated the Panama Canal; in 1903 he
was pleading for the settlement-not the
mere occupation-of the st. Lawrence
Valley; in 1908 he established Quebec
and in 1911 Montreal. Even when q
prisoner in England. 1929 to 1882, he was
actively publicizing his vision Of trans
Atlantic empire for the unhappy surplus
population of his country. He was
creative expansionist in the truest and
most accurate meaning of the phrase.
For explanation of his genius one
may turn to Louise Phelps Kellogg's sum-
mary of his character HE was simple,
sincere and steadfast, without osten-
tation or pride" she says. He preferred
life in the open to that of courts, yet
he was no mean courtier and was re-
spected by king and mobiles alike. His
appreciation Of the natives of America
was deep, and by his sympathy for them
he had much influence over the saw
ages. His vision and foresight for the
colony's needs earned for him the title
of Father of New France" 1t follows,
then, that he should be listed in the
vanguard of the builders of the civiliza-
ton in which New France is merged. He
stands with Capt. John Smith and Capt.
Miles Standish as an architect of the
New World and merits the gratitude of
millions who should be happy to
acknowledge such a debt.

At Old Fort Niagara on Saturday last
a bronze bust of Samuel de Champlain
was presented by France to the United
States, accepted with appropriate cere-
monies and unveiled. The occasion is
worthy of note as a tribute to the
founder of Canada, but 1t would be an
error to imagine that he has not been
commemorated elsewhere-his name is
immortal as the designation of the beau
tiful lake, between New York and Ver-
mont, which he discovered in 1909.
The story of his career, however,
merits more popular recognition than it
has had. Champlain was more than
an adventurer. Indeed, his books prove
him to have been possessed of one of the
best minds of the rich and colorfu1 age
to which he belonged. He was a skilled
navigator, q courageous and intelligent
explorer, a successful colonizer, a gifted
and capable administrator, talented
diplomat and, withal, practical vision
ary of the rarest and most notably useful
type. His dream for New France was

prove to himself once and for all their
eternal difference and variation.
Nature got the idea for beetles and
created beetles in endless form and
shape, size ard uses.
Insects are all insects and fishes are
all fishes, though they vary so tre-
mendously in external characteristics
that the observer might never suspect
them to be related.
What is repeated so endlessly? Why,
the idea of fish. 1t Is the same in them
all. The student to come will some day
take out Of Nature the great basic ideas
and display them in all their littleness
and their supreme greatness.
Out of few basic ideas Nature makes
endless combinations and permutations.
She repeats herself, but her repetitions
are those of a skilled workman.
Let us all be skilled workmen, then,
as far as we are able.
The closer we stick to Nature, which
includes what the Romans called the
nature of things" the surer We are of
being skilled.
A few simple ideas and their eternal
variation-iSn't that the life history Of
Edison, for example?
And we shall be inventors and artists
in little if we remain equally true to a
good determination to hew to the line
and let the famous chips fall where they
may.
In every walk Of life. no matter what
one does, 1t is how one does it that
counts
What does the poor workman do? He
is careless, Indifferent and has no regard
for what comes next
If he is a plumber he scratches all
the woodwork up so that the painter has
to be called. The latter, If he, too, is a
poor workman, punches a hole in the
plaster, so one must call the plasterer
If the latter comes and also is poor
workman, he somehow gets faucet out
of commission again, so the plumber has
to, be called once more. And so on goes
the round Of bad repetition.
Good repetition is otherwise. 1t means
that each workman does what he is
supposed to do the best he can and
without hurting anything else or causing
any trouble.
The good worker, in whatever line
and wherever he may be found. is har-
monious. in that he has a gift, as We
best work he knows how to do.
If he repeats himself, it is good re-
peating. His work has variation along
the great chosen line and that is enough
for him and others, too.
The beat of the heart is repetition
The flow of the blood, the breathing Of
living creatures combine in an endless
repetition to do what Nature intended
them to do
And so it is. one may believe, with all
of us. We we're intended to do what
We are doing The fact that We are
doing it proves it.
Whatever we are doing we were in
tended to do it, so long as we do it
honestly, openly and as thoroughly as
we know how.
That is the salvation Of the common
man in his daily life and he need not
be ashamed of it, so long as he keeps
we'll in mind the eternal necessity for
variation.

Valley Authority, the authority of the
Government to make loans and grants
to municipalities for the construction OF

the Government to condemn property
for low-cost housing projects are knock

When the Supreme Court last May
declared the N. r. A. unconstitutional
and rebuked President Roosevelt for
throwing out of office the late William
E. Humphrey, member of the Federal
Trade Commission, because he did not
see eye to eye with Mr.. Roosevelt, there
was sigh of relief The drive for power
and the Capitalization of government in
Washington apparently had been
checked. What the Supreme Court does
when it passes upon other New Deal
measures will be equally far-reaching in
effect. In the light of its N. R. A. de-
cision there has been grave doubt that
Other important New Deal measures can
survive court determination.
The Supreme Court, down through all
it's years, has stood for American lib
critics. 1t has guarded the rights OF the
American people. 1t has not been
swerved by political clamor. 1t has yet
to hear the voice of a political master.
The court continues a bulwark between
the people and those who seek TO con-
troll them and to limit the liberties
n,sdoed them under the Constitution.
May it ever continue to do so!

said to be at hand. Today the court
meets for the opening of its FaIl term,
a term that promises to be momentous.
1t meets, moreover, in the splendid mar
BILE building lately erected for its use.
Predictions that this new home would
be a mausoleum for the high court, in
the light of recent developments, are
strangely wide Of the mark. The court

1t meets with cases pending before 1t

dual form OF government, Federal and
State. Looming particularly in the pub
lie eye Is the challenge to the agricul-
tural adjustment act and its processing
taxes. This, like the national industrial
recovery act, has been regarded as a
corner stone of the Roosevelt New Deal.

What is repetition, after all?

erary artists and violinists, write the

after year.
There is never any mistaking them
any more than there is Summer for

Only the man afraid looks forever for
novelty of expression. II his roots were
in Nature he would know better.
In other words, what one means who
carelessly uses the good word "repeti-
ton" is not that at all, really, but va
ration.
Variation has been called the spice of
life and it is all that and more.
1t is the heartbeat of humanity.
We love variations Of old themes.
Nothing so touches us, in the daily
life as to read what we know already!
The old songs and the old friends, are
these not varied enough for any one?
Yet we know every word they will say
by heart. 1t is only their saying it and
the variation which comes as part of
their good repetition which makes it of
endless worth.
There Is never any danger in repe-
tition If honesty and integrity accom-
pany it. Because these two ingredients
assure variation, the endless spice
Let those who do not trust the bound
less wells of Nature in them keep records
and files and the like in order that they
may look back If need be; the strong
character has no need Of such, for he
assures himself and others of variation
If he does not do so.
He has nothing to turn back to and
no need for it, either; he is filled with
the vigor Of creation and goes right
ahead drawing on the old immortal
sources Of peace, power and plenty.
His repetition then becomes variation.
AS skilled pianist, who also knows the
art of composition, he plays endless va
riations on the same theme, which he
endleSsly makes different and new.
The study of Nature assures the human
mind of the needlessness of any purile

Natures differences are but variations
of the same old theme.
She has a few fine stories, gloriously
conceived in the beginning. of which
everything since have been but variations.
She got the idea of man, and so we
have tumultuous cities and great liners on
the high seas and little poems singing
through the brains of curious creatures.
She got the idea of tiger, and even
today we have tigers the same as all
tigers. but each tiger different.
If any one does not believe tigers
are different. but are mere repetition,
let him study house cats, tigers in the
house, as some one called them. and
