you alone know.
And constantly, over and over,
you deal that deck to yourself,
hoping the cards will come out
right-hoping the combination will
make you seem as wise and brave,
as noble and charming, as you'd
like to be.
But it never does! Always
there's something wrong-some
card that refuses to turn up when
it shoulder turns up when 1t
shouldn't. There's that lie you
told that job you left un-
done that time you turned
yellow that time you de-
liberately failed a friend.
There lies the deck, holding the
story of your self. A strange
thing-that deck. If you had the
courage to count the cards hon
estly, as they come-and face The
consequences-you could do almost
anything you wish with your life.
But you won't!
You won't admit that you're a
weakling. show-off, bum, a sap.
Instead-you cheat at solitaire!
You alter facts just a bit {.
assure yourself that you didn' t
really mean to tell that fib
fall down ON that job fail
that friend. You were misunder-
stood. People took advantage of
you. The cards were stacked
wrong. If only things had been a
little different.
PLAY THE GAME
Presently you're feeling all SNUG
with yourself again. You've fixed
things pretty-the cards have
come right at last!
Queer that we can do a thing
like that to ourSelves-but we
can. You can fool everyone but
yourself" goes the old saying-but
it isn't so. Actually, you can fool
yourself quicker, easier and Of
tener than anyone else.
Cheating at Solitaire-the old
est, the commonest, the cuSSedeSt
form of human embarrassing
we all do it.
But don't let's kid ourselves
that the cards really come right
They don't. You can't outsmart
the Truth. If there's a weakness
in your deck, it stays there. And
you'll never win the game until
you tackle it where 1t lieSl

The Greatest Show on Earth = ronF~usr Smith

"a tie meant a lower court deci-
sion was affirmed.
Its a matter of parliamentary
procedure. If a parliamentary
body's votes are tied on a bill,
the bill fails. And so when the
courts vote was a tie the petit
ton to reverse the lower court
ruling failed.
If this rule was not followed
one vacancy on the bench would
nullify the court. For instance,
in the present fight between the
court and President Roosevelt
where the New Deal decisions
have been 5-4, if a vacancy
occurred and the vote was lined
up A, the President could just
let the vacancy remain open and
the courts votes would have no
weight.

Vote for the District
(P1ducdh Sun Democrat, PGducGh,
Ky., NoU. %, 1856

(P1ducdh Sur-DenocrGt, PGducGh,
Ky., NoU. %, 1856
Residents Of the District Of
Columbia, Federal administrative
area of which the Nations Capt.
tai is the center, number about
100000, according to latest eSti-
mates. OF this number an eSti-
mated $4,000 are qualified in
every way to vote. But not one
of them can vote, as residents Of
the District.
Even such American territories
as Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto
Rico are permitted some repre-
sentation in Congress, and they
can choose nearly all of their
own local officials except their
governors. Not so in Washing
ton, however. Congress and the
Army rule the District arbitrarily.
The original idea behind this
non-voting rule for District resi-
dents was, that whoever was
President could always carry
practically all votes cast there,
since everybody worked for him.
Such a situation might, in a close
race, decide an election, and de-
eide it unfairly.
This situation is not exactly as
our forefathers expected, how.
ever. Nearly everybody who holds
a Government job at Washington
receives it as the result of politi-
cal pull at home, and to retain
this pull and their jobs they
must come home for every cleo
ton and vote. If they do not
retain their residences elsewhere,
sooner or later other homefolks
will roll them for their jobs. This
set-up would not be changed II
the District were given the fran
chise right. So the reason for
not allowing Washington resi-
dents a vote is nullified.
On the other hand, a great
many persons are done a gross
injustice by the non-vote rule. At
least half of the Districts resi-
dents make their living entirely
apart from the Government Serv'
ice. During the last fiscal year
they paid in Federal taxes ST.
322 ,OO0-more than that paid il
any of Is other States, or more
than was paid by nine States
combined. During the World
War the District sent more men
to the colors than any one OF IL
States, although unrepresented in
the body that declared war.
These hundreds of thousands
of Americans are not yet true
Americans, for they have not re
ceived that right which Amer1
cans hold most dear-the right to
vote, of representation in gov
eminent. To receive that right
passage of a Constitutional
amendment is necessary. Such
an amendment was introduced in
the last Congress. but was lost
in the jam of other legislation.
A new amendment to give 8
vote to the District, to give its
residents full rights with othel
Americans, will be introduced II
the new Congress in January
Because it does not believe such
inequalities are consistent witt
our other democratic principles
and because it believes fair treat
ment is the only type conSisten
with American ideals, The Sun
Democrat will back this move
ment to the limit. We wish tn
people of the District of Columbi;
swift and complete success il
their efforts to obtain the RICH
of franchise.

Road to Ratification

1UOCkx W AOGN OxO1L
The announcement that the Constitutional amendment
giving the District of Columbia representation in the
National Government will be introduced Con-
gress convenes in January augs well for the likelihood
of getting ACTION on this needed reform without undue
delay.
In the Senate the amendment resolution will be intro
duced by Senator Arthur Capper Of Kansas and in the
House it will be presented by Representative Mary T.
Norton, chairman of the House District Committee
Both Senator Capper and Mrs Norton have in the past
demonstrated their friendship for the District and its
citizens.
Their desire to push the amendment resolution at
this time is simply another indication of their dppre
citation of the difficulties under Uch this city
SUFFERS
The onpotical aspect of the situation surrounding
the Introduction of the resolutions is encouraging to
those who anxious get the amendment the road
to ratification.
WITH REPUBLICAN SPONSORING THE MEAS
URE IN THE SENATE AND DEMOCRAT PUSH
ING IT IN THE HOUSE, THERE IS CLEAR DEM
ONsTRATION THAT THE RESOLUTION APPEALS
TO BOTH PARTIES IN EQUAL MEASURE.
The coming session of Congress WILL of course be faced
with rush of legislation Of great national Importance
Starting late and further complicated by having the
Inauguration shortly after converting the Congress
will have to speed up its consideration of the regular
appropriation measures
Despite this however it should be easily possible to
obtain hearing on the amendment resolution during
the session.
Both Representative Norton and Senator Capper will
undoubtedly urge that such hearings be held =

The of editorials which are appearing in news
papers throughout the country in response to the su
gestion of The Washington Times show the national
sentiment be strongly in favor Of adoption Of the
resolution.
These editorials will of course be submitted to each
member of Congress shortly after the session opens
IT IS TO BE HOPED THAT THIS INCREASING

(.I. 0. Endorsed by
$1,000 Members Of
Carpenters Union
Lumber Workers Convention
Scores Hutcheson for Aiding
LandOn.

PORTLAND, Ore.-(UNS) = The
Committee for Industrial Organiza-
ton was unanimously endorsed at a
convention of all lumber industry
subdivisions of the United Brother
hood of Carpenters and Joiners.
This convention of sawmill, tim
ber and plywood workers unions
was attended by some 662 delegates,
representing between sixty and sew
enty thousand members.
VIM. Dalrymple of the United
Mine Workers was given a pro-
longed ovation after he had ad-
dressed the convention on the C.
I. o. and industrial unionism.
Suspension of the c. I. o. unions
was sharply condemned although
Pres. VIM. Hutcheson of the car
|penters' union has been a leader in
the executive councils fight against
the C. 1. o.
The convention unanimously en-
dorsed reelection of Pres. Roose-
velt and condemned Hutcheson for
his activities on the Republican
National Committee on behalf of
Gov. Landon.
The lumber workers have a par
ticular grievance in that they pay
per capita tax to the Carpenters
Brotherhood but are not allowed full
representation at the international
convention, being classed as non
beneficial affiliates.

dicial consistency, he would have
been forced to concur in that
opinion.
An examination of the Maxi and
Kearns cases discloses that Justice
Angstman was a member of the
court when these two decisions, of
which the firemen now so bitterly
complain, were rendered. Did JUS
tice Angstman dissent? Did he as
|sert that the opinion was based on
an erroneous application of the per-
tinent principles of law? He did not
do anything of the sort. On the con-
trary it appears in the report as the
last line of these decisions, that
Angstman concurred in these opin-
ions, that is, that he approved and
.concurred in the disposition made
of these cases. Nor do I complain of
this as I believe that the court, in
cluding Judge Angstman, were cor
rect according to applicable legal
principles in the cases in question.
What I do complain of is the at
tempted condemnation of Justice
Matthews on this record for the pur-
pose of composing his defeat by a
man who has subscribed to, and ap-
proved of, that very record.
The logical basis for any such ar
gument simply eludes me. To ex-
plain such position requires great

than I possess.

UNIONS, SAYS LEWIS
c. |. o. Chief Flags Lineup Of
Morgan DUPONT Rockefeller
Interests.

POTTSVILLE, Pa. (UNS)-The
real sponsors of the Republican
campaign for Gov. Landon are big
bankers, financiers and Industrial
lists, such as the Morgan, the
Rockefeller and the Du Pont dynas-
ties" John L. Lewis, president of
the United Mine Workers and
chairman of the Committee for In
dustrial Organization, declared in a
campaign rally of Labors Non-Par-
tisan League.
However loud the strains of oh,
Suzanna,' and the Battle Hymn of
the Republic, may be at Republi-
can gatherings" he said, there
comes to the attentive listener the
jingle of the dollar, the selfish
clanor of the market place, and the
sinister pipings of our leading bank
ers and industrialists whose real
hymn is that of the profit motive,
and whose hope is again to subject
America to their malign and destruc-
tive influence.

voices of Gov. Landon and Col.

puppet show are being pulled by

Opposition to Labor
"The interests owned and con-
trolled by Morgan, Du Pont and
Rockefeller are all opposed to labor
organizations Lewis declared.
'They are the leading supporters
of company unions. Throughout the
years they have bitterly fought
every effort of labor to organize
and bargain collectively through its
own chosen representatives.
To-day the magnificent struggle
of the steel workers for the rights
Of organization, industrial freedom
and democracy is, in reality, fight
against J. P. Morgan and Co.
'In 1901, Immediately after the
elder Morgan had organized the
United States Steel Corp, a meet
ing of the executive council was
held in the Morgan offices in New
York City, at which a resolution was
introduced by Morgan partner
and passed, directing all operating
officials to eliminate unionism from
the mills of the corporation.
This policy has been relentlessly
applied up to and including the pres

place in the economic sunlight will
the steel workers have if a Morgan
candidate for the presidency of the

 Under the bill the Secre- tary is authorized to charge grazing fees for deer own ed by others than natives, but express provision is made that the natives of Al aska and their associations and organizations engaging in the reindeer industry shall be exempt from the payment of all grazing fees
 The opening paragraph of the bill declares it to be the policy of Congress to estab- fish and maintain for the natives of Alaska a self-Sus taining economy by acquir- ing and organizing for and on behalf of the natives a general reindeer industry, and by encouraging and de veloping native activity and responsibility, and by preserving the native char acter of said industry.
 The passage of this meas ure would guarantee to the natives of Alaska, absolute and full control of all rein deer in the Territory by and with the aid of the Gov ernment.
