Mary Goodwin. But in spite of
all his maneuvers, it was a
long time before he met her.
She was not only fascinating
but notorious. The wild young

While Payne was still Ian

to meet her, Shelley scandal

away with her, leaving his
wife Harriet to drown herself.
Meanwhile Payne had other
things to agonize him besides
his frustrated love for Mary.
He saw his first theatrical
success slip away. Trying to
recoup his fortunes by branch

he went deeply into debt, and
was thrown into a debtors

time before that she was a
widow; Shelley, her poet hus-

Payne looked at her pale,
tragic face with a wildly beat

wonder and regret.

young John Howard Payne stoodumecognized

Theatre, where he was scheduled to make.

Payne followed her in and

the while absently humming
little snatches of music. Payne
thought her singing was as
beautiful as everything else

she drifted into a melody that
startled him. Her voice died

He had some words put to it

within reach. Last year when
Charles Kemble took over

a play called Angioletta with

They liked the idea, so

Angioleita to Ciari. She was

SUITCASE FARMERSs DON'T

While the professors" are pro
viding plans that are backed with
great subsidies by the government
TO restore the drouth-stricken, dust
ridden areas, there are practical
and sensible minds in our farming
regions at work on the problems,
and the Oklahoma Live Stock News
believes that wise or foolish decis-
sions may make the difference be-
tween the development Of an Amer
lean Sahara or the restoration. Of an
agricultural empire" The editor
quotes L. Il. Call, recent president Of
the Wichita Federal Land Bank,
who said: "The blighted areas must
be planted with sorghums. Il must
be left there and the next season 1t
will volunteer. Along will come
other grasses, weeds, Russian sages
and sand thistles-and eventually
grazing grass, when II will be back
to the condition It was when the
war made us tear It up" Call says
this process may take 25 years, and
he hands a wallop to the inexperi-
enced experts of Washington and
elsewhere with the suggestion that
while restoration is progressing the
Suitcase farmers and others who
gamble on sunshine, rain and good
growing weather must get down to
the science Of farming or get out OF
farming for the farmers good"
The Live Stock News states with
lot of pOsitiVeness, the conviction
that a sensible land policy"-such
as it believes does not head up in
Washington-is the only salvation
for the western plains country"

eOYERyMRNT RY RLupGFoN

The threat Of William Green, pres
ident Of the American Federation Of
Labor, to call a nationwide strike
unless the demands of his group are
strictly adhered to by Congress has
done more than anything else pos
sibly could to injure the cause of
those for whom he pretends to
speak. For in trying to bludgeon
Congress and the country into line
behind this legislative program,
which includes the Wagner labor
Disputes Bill, Green has alienated
thousands. upon thousands OF per-
sons who might be sympathetic to
some of his programs.
The country was sick enough al
ready of the pressure exerted at
Washington by selfish blocs, such as
the veterans bloc, the Townsend
pension bloc, the Coughlin bloc, and
the share-Our-wealth bloc. Each Of
these groups is intent on carrying
out its own purposes, irrespective of
the effect which the achievement
might have on the country as
whole. Now comes the labor bloc
with a threat to stop the wheels of
industry throughout America-and
thereby to sabotage economic recOv-
ery-unless 1t has its way.
Green himself has given substan-
ces to statements of those who have
warned that in enacting legislation
which would make the Government
a recruiting sergeant for organized
labor power, was being handed to
labor leaders who would use 1t in an
irresponsible manner.
The Richmond (Va.) Times-Dis-
patch, in a pointed editorial, re-
marks that 'if the president of the
American Federation of Labor is un-
der the delusion that this country is
going to take such an ultimatum as
that lying down, then he had better
think again"
Continuing, the paper inquiries
what the A. F.. of L. would think If
the employers of the nation announ-
ced that they would discharge 25 per
cent of their workers unless Con-
gress enacted certain legislation.
I'VE all know perfectly well what
it would think. Yet the president of
that organization appears to regard
it as proper for organized labor to
put a pistol to the nations head, |
and to threaten to wreck recovery, !
unless it gets the legislation it

The Only Course

How long would businesses or in
dividuals remain solvent if for eV-
cry dollar they earned they spent
two dollars?
It doesn't take a financial wizard
to know they would soon be in the
bankruptcy courts.
At the present time the Federal
government is spending two dollars
for every dollar it receives in tax
revenue.
It is no excuse to say that the
Federal credit is still unimpairedr
and that the currency is soundiy
backed with gold.
Neither a nations currency nor
public or private credit can long re-
main sound" under spendthrift
practices. The easy way out for
country faced with debt obligations
is currency infiatiOn-but the harsh
lesson of history. modern and an
cient, is that in every case imitation
produces fear, panic, and often com
plete breakdown of a nations social
and economic structure.
We hear much these days about
controlled infatiOn"-What isn't
heard is that no nation, no matter
how wise its administrators, has
ever been able to keep imitation
within bounds once II was started.
The future financial security OF
the nation can be assured in but one
way-by reducing costs Of govern
ment to balance income. That may
seem oldLfashioned to modern finan-
cial Observation-Disclosures, all the
pretty theories Notwithstanding, It
is the only safe and sound course
for any nation, or individual, no
matter how rich they are.
