; And once it was free as air, this
wonder worker we call Faith. Are
you remembering with me-you
who are over 30. 40 or so? Are
you looking back to those strange
ly different days of our youth?
Yet, somehow, nobody made
much of a fuss about 1t. Nobody
except the back-alley shiftless
whined over it, or expected to be
given any particular aid.
WONDER WORKER
For we had that within us
which made it possible for us to
ignore this-WE HAD FAITH.
Forty years ago-30. even 40
there was no real American home
so poor, so obscure that it was not
warmed and upheld by the flaming
power Of Faith.

We might be hungry, and we
were. We might be ragged and

But we could rise above all that
we had FAITH!
We didn't talk about it. We
didn't consciously think about it.
We couldn't have explained it,
but 1t was there. bred in our bones
and blood, our most priceless
heritage handed down by those
heroic souls who first dared snarl'

are being besieged with the custo
mary questions of out-of-towners
The principal complaint seems
to be that the House and Senate
do not convene until noon.
Visitors arriving at the Capitol
before midday invariably wish to
see "those men who make our
laws"
Taken to the House and Senate
chambers, vacant before noon, they
demand to know the whereabouts
of the lawmakers.
When told that Congress does
not meet until noon, they invarl-
ably exclaim:
what? You mean to say they
don't go to work until IL o'clock?
And is that what the taxpayers
are spending their money for?
Just so these men can loaf until
nOOn?"

Is There Waste?

Senator Elmer Thomas of Oklahoma, chairman of the
District subcommittee Of the Senate Appropriations
Committee has announced that he will devote one day
of the hearings the local fund bill to examining the
proposals to increase the city's taxes
CERTAINLY IT SHOULD NOT TAKE MORE THAN
DAY TO DEMONSTRATE THAT THERE IS NO
EXCUSE FOR NOW INCREASING THE LOCAL TAX
BURDEN.
If Senator Thomas carried out his previous
ments that the subcommittee will do the proper thing
for the National Capital in deciding on the Federal
share of the local expenses it will readily be shown that
no local tax increase is necessary.
The local tax matter arises only because some
officials think that this UOUd be good time to jack
up the gasoline tax and shift the expenses OF relief
to the special group Which pays that tax.
Under no theory of the imposition Of the gasoline tax
can such diversion be justified.
The Senate with the cooperation of the House, should
at once start an investigation at the District Building
to determine if there is waste in the numerous and
growing number of local governmental bureaus
If Congress can show that there is no waste then
opposition to increased taxes will be withdrawn.

CHICAGO, Jan. 30 U.SD.
Unanimous Endorsement of the

loyal citizens are adopting
throughout the country, was
voted by the Chicago city council
yesterday.
It adopted a resolution calling
for a program of buying American

It asked Mayor Kelly to appoint
BE- committee to cooperate with
heads of large wholesale and retail
firms, the Association of Com.

Labor and the newspapers.
The resolution noted:
"The great damage and loss
to American factories and work

MOORE BLASTS
RUN0R ABOUT
HAUPTMANN

Senator Harry A. Moore of New
Jersey. today exploded the belief
frequently expressed that Bruno
Hauptmann would escape the
death penalty If Justice Tren-
chard, who sentenced Hauptmann
to death, should die before the
.reprieve granted the convicted
slayer expires.
A report has been going around
that under the laws Of New Jer-
sey a convicted slayer granted a
stay must be resentenced by the
same judge who imposed the orr
ginis sentence. Senator Moore
said:
'That is not the fact at all.
ANY other Judge sitting in the
same court could resentence the
convicted man. have an idea,
however, how that story started.
Back in the administration
Of Governor J. Franklin Fort,
in 1911, . murderer was con-
victed and sentenced to death.
He was granted q reprieve,
maybe more than one. The judge
did die and shortly after that
Governor Fort went out Of Of
flee. Apparently everybody then
forgot about the prisoner.
"After the man had been in
prison 20 years or more and was
then 20 years old, I took the mat
ter up with the board Of pardOns
and q formal Communication Of
the death sentence was issued.
Il feel sure this is the way
the story that Hauptmann
might escape the death penalty
in case Justice 1renchard could
not resentence him originated.
But there Is nothing to it."

BUSINESS TO CONTINUE UPWARD.

Greatly accelerated business improve
ment in the nation generally and redue-
tion Of government expenditures to some
extent was forecast by Senator Fat Har-
riSou this week. resulting from the tire
mendous endorsement given the Rose
Welt administration in the national clee-
ton. Il don't interpret this great en-
dorsement to any particular thing the
administration did in a general way. It
is certain to restore confidence and
hasten national recovery" said Senator
Harrison.
With the expected improvement Of bu-
siness, the senator pointed out unem-
ployment will be reduced, making it pos
sble for the government TO reduce eX-
penditures The most telling index to
business improvement lies in the large
increase in government receipts which
have even exceeded government, esti-
mates.
This comes as good news from one
who is in position to know what ten
tative plans are to be offered by the
Roosevelt administration. All Of the
Republican propaeanda was rerudia;ed
by the voters in the national election,
convincing the administration that it
had the support Of the people and its
desired. Il will be carried

Better Butter Made

Retter butter generally and an exact
linoication of quality on every PACKAGE
together with definite Improvement
in the milk production and creamery IN
dustries are already evident from the
operation of Mississippi's new cream
law. according to J. c. Holton, commits
sioner of agriculture.
The law provides primarily that butter
be purchased from farmers on the basis
of three distinct grades: sweet cream
first grade cream, and second grade
cream, and all other cream is declared
unlawful second. that lots of cream OF
the three grades be labeled and kept
separately and churned separately; and
the third, that packages of butter pear

the carton and of the wrapper showing
the grade of cream from which manu-
factured.
Thus, under the new law" comment
ed Commits sioner Holton. every pack
age of butter on sale in Mississippi now
shows the quality of cream from which
il is made, and the housewife needs but
70 examine the carton and the wrapper
to assure herself of quality. During
recent weeks we have made numerous in
spections Of butter in all parts of the
state and practically all butter now on
sale is in compliance with the new law.
During the course of these inspections,
we have suspended from sale and re-
turned to points of origin 10 lots Of
butter found not labeled in accordance
with the law.
