LOVE
By Elsie Robinson

LOVE
Love doesn't "just happen
It is not miraculous visitation
"a superhuman seizure-an in
Simultaneous explosion.
Love starts happening when
we start living-long before we
find the loved one. Love is an
answer-love is many answers
Love is the answer to countless
fears, fevers and Illustrations
hopes and hungers, ecstasies ano
surrenders. Love is the answer
to all we are-and aren't; have
achieved-and haven't.
Love-the conscious awaken
ing-comes when We are ready
for it to come. But it is a long
time getting ready.
We say, II love!" And we
think those two words always
mean the same thing. No matter
how we may differ in character
in intelligence, in taste and ex
perience, we think that "love''
is always the same thing. "a
beautiful and noble thing al
ways deserving reverence. al
ways meriting gratitude.
But that's iodiotic. Love ISM
always the same thing. Love is
never the same thing-not even
in the same person! Love is not
necessarily beautiful, or noble,
or even excusable. Love is as
good as the individual who feels
it-and no better. Love is
what-are-you and what-have-you?

Love may be a prayer-a song

sometimes a glorious partnership
but, far oftener, a habit which
we are too lazy or timid to break.
And, sometimes, a drawn-out spite

Jealousy has no place in love
no justification. Nor has med.

work under his administration.
1t is said that he dislikes the
red tape of Government and can
not become reconciled to its delays.
President Roosevelt, however, is

Loyalty in Congress
Bv James T. Williams, Jr.

Toward the preservation Of the
American system of government,
Of which the Constitution is the
cornerstone, the Supreme Court
"the keystone of the arch" and
the Common Defense the armed
protector, a loyal Congress is in
dispenSable.
Now is the time and every
Congressional District is the place
for true Americans to turn their
attention to the Congress to be
elected a year hence.
Under the American system
Representatives in Congress are
elected every two years and make
up the National House of Repre-.
sentativeS.
Senators in Congress are elected
every six years and make up the
membership Of the United States
Senate.
This means that four hundred
and thirty-five Representatives
in Congress will be elected at the
national elections in November Of
next year and one-third of the
membership Of the Senate 80
United States Senators.
AMERICAN SYSTEM
No man or woman ought to be
nominated by either the Demo
cratic or Republican parties, much
less elected to either House Of
Congress who does not unre
servedly believe in the American
system Of government which was
established when the Constitution
Of the United States became the
fundamental law Of the land by
the ratification of three-fourths
Of the legislatures of the several
States.
This is so because every Senator
and Representative in Congress
before taking his seat Is required
to take an oath to preserve, pro
tect and defend the Constitution
of the United States.
In both Houses of Congress to
day there is small group, some
Democrats some Republicans. who
appear to be hostile to the Ameri
can system Of Government.
They have proposed, not merely
perfecting amendments to the
Constitution, which is their right,
but drastic changes in the Con.
stitution which would in the
words Of George Washington
undermine what cannot be di.
rectly overthrown" in the whole
American system.
An American Congress Is nc
place for such anti-American leg
islators to be seated.
If they prefer, as they seem to-
an Asiatic, European or African
system of government, their con
stituents should encourage them
to proceed thither by retiring
them to private life at the next
Congressional election.
No candidate for either House
OF Congress will deserve ronina
The Washington times., 1935-11-05

etion either by the party founded
by Thomas Jefferson-the Demo
cratic party-or the party founded
by Abraham Lincoln-the Repub-
lican party-who aids and abets
by speech or vote the sapping ex.
pedition of the Radicals to Euro
peanize the American system Of
government.
Congress is no place for any
public servant so forgetful of his
oath of office or so indifferent to
its obligations as to abdicate his
authority and responsibility as q
Senator or Representative in Con-
gress to any other branch of the
Government or to any majority or
minority of his constituents who
bring pressure upon him to betray
the Government he has sworn to
support.
Next year will offer the Ameri.
can people what should be to them
a welcome opportunity Ito clean
house" at both ends of the United
States Capitol and in both the two
major political parties.
Next year the American people
will have chance to drive from
Congress and to keep out Of Con-
gress all disloyal sappers against
the American system Of govern
ment-SapperS who seek to lynch
the Constitution, to put ball and
chain on the Supreme Court, to
destroy the Common Defense and
to make of Congress political
fetch-and-carry for various and
sundry political bosses.
The way is open and the oppor-
tunity is at hand for every voter
to begin now a checkup on those
candidates in both political par.
ties who seek the honor of repre-
senting the American people in
the legislative branch of the Gov
ernment.
STUDY THE RECORDS
A year is none too long a time
in which to study the records of
prospective candidates in both
political parties with a view to de-
termining in the light Of their
respective records whether they
are supporters Of the American
system of Government or SapperS
seeking its overthrow, while
masquerading as Democrats or Re-
publicanS.
More important even than the
policies upon which the Democrats
and Republicans will line up in the
next congressional campaign is
the principle involved in the
challenge to the American system
Of Government which alien in.
triguers, aided by their domestic
tools and dupes, have flung into
the face of the household Of the

tional campaign.

The Washington times., 1935-11-05

Pas the discipline of love, no iSola-
t1on as complete, no monotony as
wearing, no sacrifice as cruel. It
is the most civilized of all our per-
formances. And because it is, the
best of us can work at it but for
short periods only. But work at 1t
we must, if we would achieve it.
For love is never a finished job
E. never even satisfactory. We are
always ,blundering, always failing,
always disappointing and being
disappointed.
We rush to each other in a
great flame of longing, believing
that all will be well if we can only
keep this fire alight. Yet, strange,
ly, the deepest, strongest and
most lasting bonds Of love are
achieved in those hours when the
heart is quite cool and only the
mind carries on. in hours, even,
when we actually dislike each
other and keep faith only by con.
Scious, painful effort!
WORTH THE COST
No one can love all the time
Love, like all the rest of life, fol
lows the inexorable law of work
and rest, rise and fall, sleep and
awakening. The tide comes-the
tide goes-and no sane man will
try to stop it.
Love would be speedily wrecked
by it's own intensity if it did not
have its periods of utter indiffer.
ence-even Of determined with
drawal.
Love is not "the greatest thing
in life" Life is the greatest thing
in life. Beware of love that cries
that life is we'll lost"-and of a
perfectly happy" marriage that
shuts life away. Such love is not
blessing but CHASTITY blight. No
healthy spirit can exist, in it, no
self-respecting spirit would endure
it. No love that does not make
life richer, wider, taller, Is worthy
Of the name.
And therein lies that certain
test of love which we are always
craving. Does love make you
braver, more honest, more eager
to live? Does it make you willing
to face those challenges you have
hitherto lodged - accept those
burdens you have hith ert O
shirked?
And will the loved one face
those challenges with you. Share
those burdens-and despise you If
you try to escape? Then it is love
really! And worth anything it
costs.

The Human Side of the News By Edwin c. Hill

inclined to be little too credu-
us. Diamondfield Jack Davis, sup
posed to be quicker on the draw
than anyone around Goldfield or
Rhyolite, had black, bushy low
hanging eyebrows, as sensitive as
the cats whisker on the radio
and, when aroused, he used to flop
them up and down as if he were
shaking a rug out of a second
story window. On the other hand,
I remember Moe Ziggler, ferocious
East-side killer of the pre-war
days, and he had trim beautifully
arched, delicate and immoblie eye
brows.
In the Hebrides. in Egypt, in
ancient Greece and among the
Franks, they knew how to use
eyebrows the way a cartoonist
or an actor uses them nowadays.
They used to pluck them, or
train them like an espalliered
tree, or perhaps extend them in
elaborate painted ScroolS.
The savages Of Tasmania made
formidable hocus-pocus out the
facial effects of both hair and
eyebrows; and hair treatment is,
of course, an old story in the
tale of mans self dramatization.
cun~ArYn
Today, the tailor-made eye
broWs are, of course, one Of
counties manifestations of our
concentration on what we would
like to appear to be rather than
what we are. 1t would be
groteSque and a bit irreverent
even to try to think of Abraham
Lincoln glueing on a pair Of
statesman's eyebrows when he
decided to run for office. Or,
among women, Jane Addams,
Nine Curie or Selma Lagerloff
trying to achieve an assumed
character by such artifice.
Primitive facial ornamentation
usually was associated with
ritualistic and ceremonial bust
ness. Many such devices, all the
way down to the bearSkin shake,
to make the fighters look tall
and scare the enemy, were trace
able to concerns Of group or
tribal survival. Now, with the
devil reaching out for the hind
most, it is a matter of individual
survival, and there's where we
reach out for the symbolic charac'
terizations of beauty, success,
power and affluence. 1t tends to
make for a false civilization.
But it all comes out in the
wash. The phrenologiSts of a
few decades ago fooled a lot OF
people, reading the bumps on
the skull, localizing mental and
emotional traits. But it became
clear in time that you couldn't
tell what kind Of apples were
inside a barrel by feeling the
outside Of it.
There was a sane interval In
which we learned that 1t was
what was inside the skull that
told the story Of success OF
failure. The winners in bust
ness, politics, and the arts will
go on doing their stuff without
fake eyebrows.
