FARLEY'S DREAM

The Democratic National Chairman,
Mr.. Farley, had the hardihood to men
ton, at the Endicott love feast, the
Democratic platform of 1892, and he
added: 49,,
"At the famous To-day session of
Congress practically every plank of
the platform was written into legis-
lation. Never had party so faithfully
fulfilled its promises!" '''.'E'
What chairman! What "a dream
er! The rest of the world, including
other Democrats, have been under a
delusion. Only Jim knows where, how
and when the Democratic Party car
ried out its pledges to save rs per
cent of the cost of the federal gov
eminent by destroying bureaucracy
and eliminating extravaganza; to bal
ance the budget; to end the follies of
the Farm Board, (which made the
government Spectator in farm pro-
ducts"
They are all out of step except jim.
He knows what's what even if it never
happened.

DEMOCRATS ARE SAYING

Governor H. G. Kump, of West Vir-
ginia (Democrat), in an interview
given the Associated Press:
perhaps something worthwhile
would be done if WPA officials would
give more attention to the discharge
of duty and less attention to spectac-
ular claims Of rushing projects to
Washington by airplane, and other ex-
travagant statements of accomplish
ments that proceed no further than
talk, and desist from the effort to en-
tice state appointees and employees
from their positions, making them dis
satisfied by the offers of higher sal
aries from federal funds than state
appropriations will permit to be paid,
and give less attention to pledging
every WPA employee and those who
apply to be transferred from direct
relief rolls to work projects to support
some candidate or candidates for office.
politics and promises build no
roads and give no employment.
"The pity of it all lies in the fact
that the large federal appropriations
of public funds are being paid out in
excessive salaries in our state and
that nothing is being done to further
the desire of the President and those
about him to put our unhappy unem-
ployed people to work and to obtain
some substantial benefit from the eX-
penditure of these funds.
"What has become of the school
projects, municipal projects and other
applications for approval of projects?
Are our people at work upon them?
They are not"

Governor LaFollette began his let
ter thus:
"Your high calling brings you into
intimate daily contact not only with
your own parishoners but with peo-
pie generally in your community. am
sure also that you see the crucial
problems of your people with wise and
sympathetic understanding"
The second paragraph of the La
Toilette letter read;
''As l face the heavy responsibilities
of the governorship, l am turning to
representative clergymen for advice,
help and counsel, feeling confident
that no group can give more accurate
or unbiased views"
The closing paragraphs of the La
Toilette letter read:
"All this can be done by no man
and no single group can do it. We
shall have to work together for the
common end of better spiritual and
material conditions for the American
people.
MAY l have your counsel and help?
Your suggestions, criticisms and ad-
vice now and in the future will be
deeply appreciated"

WHY COULDN'T ROOSEVELT
HAVE VETOED POTATO
BILL2,, r. a.-

In his defense of the potato control
law, Charles Nicholson, Director of
Publicity of the Democratic. National
Committee, in his weekly feature, Dis
pelling the Fog" says:
Fortunately, or unfortunately, the
President cannot veto part of a bill.
He has to accept or reject the whole
thing and they Congressional potato
control advocates) reasoned logically
that he would rather take the potato
than destroy the whole measure asked
by the AAA."
That is what lawyers call "plea of
confession and avoidance"
The conference report of the amend
ed agricultural adjustment act, which
contained the potato control amend
ment, was agreed to by the House of
Representative August IS, by the
Senate on August Is, and was sent
to the White House for the Presidents
action. At that time the Congress was
scheduled to adjourn nine days later,
August "a.
There was ample time, if the Pres
ident had not approved of the potato
control amendment, for him to have
vetoed the bill and sen. it through
Congress again with that particular
amendment out. In view of the COM
plete subserviency of both branches
of Congress, there is not the least
doubt but that this could have been
done, and would have been readily
done, had the President demanded it.
The President has not been reluc-
tant to veto other bills of which he
did not approve, such as the bonus bill.
Neither has he been at all backward
about calling members of Congress to
the White House and informing them
that if such and such an amendment
proposed to pending bills were in
cluded, he would undoubtedly exer-
else his right of veto.
The record shows that the potato
control amendment to the AAA bill
was put there only because the presi-
dent himself, personally, exerted pres
sure to have it put there. Nobody de-
MED that fact during the brief time
the amendment was debated, although
the charge was openly made on the
floor of the House by Representative
Marschall (Rep.), of Ohio, who signed
the minority report against the pota-
to control amendment, that
"The particular measure we are now
considering in this brief space of time
was considered in our Committee at
length and finally under pressure was
deported out by the marrow margin of
one vote?"
Who applicable pressure ? Who could
apply pressure enough to bring about
that result, after the House commit
tee had refused for six months to
make favorable report on the bill,
except the President? .,.i

FAITH AND WORKS
By REV. WALTER B. BROCK

FAITH AND WORKS
Nehemiah 4:6: eve made our prayer
unto our God, and set a watch
against them day and night"
Constantinople is one of the most
impregnable natural fortresses in the
world. England suffered her most seri-
Gus reverse in the World War trying
to capture the city fr%m the Turks.
But, in spite of its impregnable posi-
ton, Constantinople was taken in
1853.
Gibbon, in his History of the De-
cline and Fall of the Roman Empire,
says that the city would not have been
captured if its Christian defenders had
made an earnest effort to save it.
"They expected that an angel would
descend from heaven with a sword in
his hand and would deliver the city
with that celestial weapon"
Relying upon divine protection, the
Christians made no real endeavor to
protect themselves. Their faith was
disappointed. When the fierce Mos
lens swarmed over the walls, the
tardy angel failed to appear, and one
of the greatest cities in the world
passed from the hands of Christianity
into the hands of Islam.
Of course, that was a false kind of
faith. A faith" which looks for angels
to perform disagreeable tasks which
we are perfectly able to perform for
ourselves, a faith which is nothing
but an excuse for laziness is a coun-
terfeit faith.
Nehemiah gives US an example of
genuine faith: he prayed for divine
assistance, but he did not neglect
to guard against the enemy with
unceasing vigilance. The Lord helps
those who help themselves. Gen
uine faith is not substitute for works,
but an incentive to greater works.
Real faith inspires US. to do our best,
and gives US courage to meet every
danger, strength to bear every bur-
den.
