of the illusions and disillusions of a
young man who was later to become
one of England's foremost writer's,
were probably satisfied.
Tells of Writing Obsessions.
Speaking of himself in the third
Walpole portrayed vividly the life of a
writer who as a child was so obsessed
with the idea of writing that he
'scrawled all over the Bible which was
given him at birth"

jority on Capitol Hill
And now, added the chairman, the
chief executive "casts a calculating
eye upon the judiciary"-the federal

out so much of his legislation as un-

A DICTATOR?
Anyway, Steiwer and Smell agreed
that Roosevelt is a dictator.
They appealed to the electorate to
ged rid of him next November be
fore he becomes too firmly intrenched
ever to dislodge, and let a Republican
regime restore to the country the
form of government it enjoyed until
he landed in office.
This can't exactly be called con-
structive.
It's destructive of what we have
! now in order to have again what we
! had formerly.
TURN BACK?
And will we be back where we were

win?

that Roosevelt is a dictator.
1t doesn't follow, however. that the
folk who overthrow him will be able
to re-establish just what existed until
he dictated them out Of it,

So it would be interesting to know
what the Republicans plan in the way

through with the destructive part of
their job-supposing that they sue

Luke 23:1-56 especially verses 33-46,

THE CROSS OF CHRIST is at

washed his hands before the multi

sought to evade and avoid cruicfying
Jesus, and then weakly acquiesced in
that which seemed necessary to pla-
cate the mob and make his own job
secure. "And PLATE gave sentence
that what they asked for should he

the question, what shall I do with
Jesus which is called Christi" We
must either crown or cruelty him!
The Words From the Cross
Seven words were spoken by our
Lord while hanging on the cross, in
which we may trace our Lords own
philosophy of life and that which his
cross suggests to us. CD In the first
word is the outward look upon the
needs of others: Father, forgive
them; for they know not what they
do" duke $3.50. (2) In his second
word we have his onward look be-
yond death into paradise, "Verily I
say unto thee, today shalt thou be
with me in Paradise" Guke 23:43).
Death is by no means the end of life.
There is much more beyond than on
this side. (3) In his third word is his
homeward look to provide for the Sc
curity of his blessed mother in her
old age in the home of his beloved

permanent chairman, correctly outlin-
ed the G. o. P.'s plans. Presumably
they did. Convention keynoters and
and permanent chairmen usually
know what they are talking about.
Neither Steiwer nor Smell suggest
ed much as to what the Republicans,
if they win, propose to do. Both
dwelt upon what their party proposes
to undo that has been done under the
Roosevelt administration
A DISTINCTION
It was not so much the New Deal
that the two G. o. P. spokesman cri-
ticized: it was the Rooseveltian me-
thod of doing the dealing.
Steiwer especially said that, at first,
he thought rather we'll of some de-
tails of the present White House ten
ants general scheme to lift the de-
preston, and supported them.
But when the president began put
ting his system in operation it turned
out, the keynoter charged, to be al
together different from what he, or
anyone else except a few brain trust
ers had expected.
f. ID. II. BLAMED
1t was Roosevelt personally whom
Steiwer and Smell alike blamed for
effecting what they described as a
very radical change in the American
form of government.
To be sure, congress voted to him
the authority, under which he did it,
but congress, as remarked by Stei-
wer, who admits that he voted for
several New Deal measures, had no
idea what use he was about to make
of the powers it conferred on him.
Smell goes so far as to put it that he
"seduced the legislative branch by
billions in pork barrel patronage"
(Of course, the permanent chair
man didn't mean to imply that Stei-
