Sound and Fury

In his desperate effort to retain his seat in Congress
REPRESENTATIVE Thomas L. Blanton of Texas is using
much the tactics that he in his fight to make

support of the National Capital burden which should
be shared by all.

And he is resortng to the tactics in the cam

According to stories which being sent throughout
the country Mr. Blanton charges that dodgers Of
the District are responsible for his defeat in the original
primary.
He is celebrating that thought in the runof campaign
but is still failing to produce any evidence that Wash
ngonians have participated to the slightest extent
in the Texas campaign
His claims for the preference of the Democrats of his
congressional district are based upon his economy
record in previous Congresses.
We don't look for that sort of campaign to fool the
Texans.

Mr.. Blanton has made Washingtonians pay such

OBVIOUSLY

Major Sandy" Richardson, one
of General Hines aides at the
Veterans Bureau, has a bonus story
to tell that is of entirely different
character from the one of the Con
gresSman'S secretary.
According to the Major one of
the boys took his bonus and
started out on binge. He drank
up all the liquor his money would
buy. He was in quite a pitiful
state when the gendarmes finally
corralled him and they suspected
that he ought to go to an insti-
tuition, to have the alcohol boiled
out of him.
They took him before a judge.
They told about how they had
found him and what he had been
doing. One officer testified:
"And besides buying all this
liquor, your honor, he bought
II watches"
The judge turned to the pris-
oner.
did you buy IA watches?"
The reply came back instan-
.taneously:
eyes, your honor. a man
HAS to know what time it is
every once in awhile"

HIS WORRY OVER

The prize for the best bonus
story yet goes to the Congress
mans secretary who answered
this letter. Because of the per-
sonal nature of the missive the
name was not revealed.
Three days ago the secretary
got a letter from a man who said
he had deserted the Army. He
said he was down and out that
he had led the life of a hunted
man ever since his break. He was
in desperate circumstances. He
needed money. He needed it so
badly that he was at his wits end
He said that his desertion had
been preying on his mind and his
need of money had climaXed a
whole series of bad breaks so he
was ready to give himself up to
the military authorities, serve out
his term for desertion if the Con-
gresham would help him get his
bonus.

until Congress convenes in Jan
uary.
The lake that the Speaker
tested his ability on was 20 miles
from Ottawa and he said he had
not talked to anyone about the
American political situation.
Asked what was the best fish
story he was carrying back South,
he swung around in his swivel
chair and exclaimed:
'T'm not going to tell any lies.
I did q lot Of fishing and had a
lot of good sport. The biggest
caught was two and a half
pounds and that's not bad for a
small mouth bass.
They had some pike in the
lake weighing up to seven
pounds but 1 didn't get any of
them"
The Speaker this spring led 9
coterie of Sportsmen in the House
on several fishing jauntS. They
never came back without stories
of the biggest catch and the big
geSt fish ever, not even barring
some about the one that got
away.
His friends will probably be
amazed at this story and some
unbelieving person will watch tc
see if this Canada fish doesn't
take on a little weight during the
trip South.

GRANT REQUEST
Frantically he sought the one
thing that could comfort him
the right to embalm his little lads
body and keep it forever by his
side. Pityingly the authorities
granted his request. Presently it
was accomplished.
There, beneath a glass case, sat
Publ in his favorite clown suit, his
mouth still smiling, his eyes seem,
ingly closed in brief, childish slum-

the rest of DR.. Aranyi'S life.

In England, there are a few

certainly in this country thert

They wove the Scriptures through
the elementary text; the bad boy
always came to grief and the good

education was considered quite as
important as factual education.
Modern pedagogs are shaking
up primary education from top to

WASTED YEARS
Those wasted years were not a
tribute to love-not a demonstra-
ton of loyalty. They were an ex-
preston of spineleSs weakness,
sluggish laziness, sickly selfishness
and morbid conceit. Here was a
man unusually gifted, widely
needed-a man whose talent
should have been consecrated to
the service of all mankind. In
stead
He WorShipped corpse.
Instead of expanding his life,
he centered it upon the withered
remains of his own past delight.
Instead of serving the race, he
served himself. For that was what
the dead boy really represented
not life, not love, but one mans
purely personal desire.
One mans desire against the
need of all the world-could there
be a fouler form of selfish con-
ceit? Yet millions, reading of it,
will say, What wonderful love!"
1t isn't, I repeat, wonderful love
