The Greatest Show
On Earth
By John Snure. Jr.

More than a year ago Senator
James ]. Davis Of Pennsyl-
vania wept when exOnerated Of
charges made in connection
with the promotion Of a lottery
for the Loyal Order Of Moose.
People seldom mention that
subject to Puddler Jim. He is
apt to be SenSitiUe.
Not so long ago Jim at
tended a quiet supper party.
An effusive young woman
cornered him and began a dis
cussion of national problems.
She gushed:
Senator, do you know what
I think? 1t seems to me that
there is one thing that would
promote recovery and have a
salutarv effect on the country.
II think you should persuade
the leaders to legalize a ma
tional lottery"
You could have heard a pin
drop-someone spoke of the
weather.
The public knows of the ups
and downs of the Senate. They
know when Congress hits the
top and drops back again to
the depths.
What they probably do not
know, however, is that the ups
and downs of the Senate are
measured.
When new elevators were in
stalled in the Capitol, someone
for some reason or other, in
stalled a device that would
record the number of miles that
the elevators Travelled.
In a basement room of the
Capitol the instrument clicks as
the elevator moves.
One week after the opening
day the busiest elevator re-
corded that Senators had tray-
eled up and down so miles.
OF all the 1Uomen in the
House there is none more
GStute than the portly Mrs.
Florence P. Kahn, of Cali
tornia, Who originally came to
the Capitol to fill the place of
her deceased husband, one of
the outstanding men OF his
time.
Unlike most of her colleagues,
she has no hesitancy about par.

On the other hand, those
whom fate led to well-watered
lands, with favorable climate
and natural resources, improved.
Thus there came about the
widely varying types which our
white forefathers encountered.

Centuries unrolled, and these
first immigrants, ignorant and
barbaric, multiplied and became

day, when a great white bird

Nothing like it had ever been
seen.
When close to shore the
great white thing disgorged odd
ly clothed men carrying strange
implements.
They were men, like other
men, but their faces were
white, and they were possessed
of magical knowledge and skill.
They brushed into extinction
the dusky,. slant-eyed Amer

hundreds of thousands of years
by those migrating hordes from
Eastern Asia went for naught.

out looking them up in the die

extraordinarily mild words, con-

be, in part, as follows:
Yesterday the police of
Cannes had to occupy them
selves with a sad individual
(trtSte indiUidu) living at
Mougins who was presenting
himself with repugnant gestures,
etc.
AS the story continues, we
find that "repugnant gestures"
is an understatement, even for
the French Riviera, and that
"sad individual" does not cover

country was a clean, unspoiled
paradise. Finally, came a day
when into it's primeval forests
crept dusky, slant-eyed men.
Theirs were the first human
eyes to gaze upon America.
We extol the virtues and
struggles of our forefathers.
We forget that the Pilgrims,
even Columbus, were late COM
ers; that countless humans
fought and died to secure what
they ultimately attained.
IN HORDEs
Large and small groups of
men and women, mere SpeckS
against immense white glaciers,
toiled for food and life, endured
agonies greater than the hard
ships associated with our "Stern
and rock-bound coast"
They came in hordes, these
early men, having chosen the
wrath of snow-clad mountains to
the inhumanity of their own
kind.
Supposedly they were the
weak ones, these migrating
hordes, having been driven from
their homes, but Nature chose
carefully, and only the strongest
survived to inhabit our conti-
nent.
The first men to enter Amer
lea all had high cheek bones, jet
black straight hair and slant
eyes.
We have classified them as
Mongoloid. In Mongolia. in
Eastern Asia, the inhabitants
have the same characteristics.
1t so happens that the north
eastern tip of Asia and the
northwestern tip of Alaska were
once connected by dry land, and
it was by means of this land
bridge joining Siberia and Alaska
that these Mongolians entered
this continent.
The geologists tell us Africa
and Europe also were once con-
nected by dry land. The British
Isles, Iceland and Greenland
were once connected to Cont
mental Europe.
There is evidence that the
Thames River was once trib-
utary of the Rhine, and the
Rhine and Elba joined and
emptied into what was an en-
larged Arctic Ocean.

the case at all. 1t is quite pos
sible that the individual may
have been sad, or even moody,
especially after the police occu-
pied themselves with him, but
gloominess did not seem to be
his chief characteristic prior to
his arrest.
Further on, still under Here
and There in the News" we find
a heading: "An indelicate do
mestic and her sister are ar
rested for theft"
The "indelicacy" referred to
consisted of stealing, over a
period of three years, practically
the entire movable equipment
of the house in which one OF
them worked. Between them,
the sad individual and the in
delicate domestic could have
played quite a good deal OF havoc
in small town.
This genius for understate-
ment continues in an account
of a young man who found him
self blown into two or three
dozen pieces by an "engin er-
plosit," an accident which
moved the re-write man of the
Courier to refer to him as "un-
lucky" Possibly a maniac who
had butchered four or five peo-
pie in blind rage might be said
to have "got out of the wrong

That youngster of yours may
be bright, cute and attractive.
But need you speak of it so
frequently?
It makes children conceited

pride.
What you think is cute in

Cute children are nearly al

Bright children frequently
seem only pert and impudent

is anything but that before he
or she grows up-all because of
too much thoughtleSs praise.
The child who seeks and gets
attention from parents or grand
parents unSuccessfully tries the
same tactics with others.
It makes the child disagree
able and, in later life, unpop-

1t means the child is going to
get many severe jolts, and the
worst of it is that the child
can't understand why.
Let such a child enter a board

Civil Service Week
To Un-Fool the Taxpayer

The American people apparently still like to be fooled.
This the only way to explain the camnes and
serenity which they have for watched themselves
pay money in order that their ELECTED OFFICIALS
MIGHT PAY OFF POLITICAL DEBTS.
Maybe they don't realize they being fooled although
how they could avoid the realization is mystery.
The American Federation of Government Employees is
sorng this week as National Civil Service Week.. That
what the Federation calls it, but to it looks more like
tWEEK TO UN-FoOL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE,
Federation plans during the week to recall to the public
that fty-two years ago the Civil Service law made
effective.
It is rather strange that anyone should have designate
week to bring this law mind law that marked great for
ward step science of government But obvious that
THE LAWS EXISTENCE HAS BEEN FORGOTTEN BY
MANY particularly by many whose duty has been to reme
Der it.
And every time that public official has forgotten ignored
ths law it has cost the American taxpayer money.
Failure to the civil service law its fullest and to extend
1t as service has grown has COST US MIL
LIONS OF DOLLARS.
The proposition that the Federation putting the tax
payer during this week is in effect follows:
"Do you pay your taxes to support efficient GOU-
ernrent conducted by those qualified to conduct it,
do you pay your order that aspiring politicians
may use the money to BRIBE ELECTION WORKERS
and supporters?"
TO our mind the only answer to proposition that the
taxpayer pays his dollar into the Treasury in the hope that it
will buy him dollars worth of governmental service. HE
DOESN'T WANT THE MONEY SPENT TO BRIBE THE
VOTERS.
The politician doesn't to realize this.
He thinks he can make few friends by promising them
Government jobs they him. He doesn stop think
that by that he is making enemies among those
who have to pay.
And unfortunately the American taxpayer is too often will

There recently agrant assaults upon the
Civil Service system The law which the American Fedora
n of Government Employees directs attention this week has
been weakened by the constant batterng of the political
plunderbund
Such assaults could be made successfully the American
people realized that every time the Civil Service law tossed
aside it means a. DECREASE IN GOVERNMENTAL. EFF
