The Great Dog Issue.

Senator McKellar not long ago rose to
oratorical heights seldom achieved in the
United States Senate in an impas-
stoned defense of the dog pound at
Memphis, built with p. w. A., C. w. A,
w. P. A. or some other kind of A money.
The pound had been attacked by Sena-
tor Hastings. Dogs all over the country
were tremendously impressed.
Now that Senator Dickinson has come
out with the serious accusation that
human beings are eating canned dog food
and letting the dogs substst On table

A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
Childless

On the edge Of her lonely life she hears
The patter of children's feet;
Hears in her hours of solitude
Their voices, shrill and sweet.
Maternity within her stirs,
Although no little ones are hers.
And she marvels that a mother can be
Fretted by muddy feet
The little feet that she'd lay bare,
So delicate and sweet;
That close, close to her heart she'd hold
Be>euse her arms no child snfold. A

former President IN 1923 and 1882. He
was strongly in favor of an uninstructed
delegation to the Republican National
Convention this year-a position taken
by Mr.. Hoover also Richardson was
defeated by delegate favorable to the
nomination of Gov. Landon for President.
Representative Joseph w. Martin, jr,
of Massachusetts,, one of the delegates at
large to the Republican National Con-
vention, is slated, it is said, to take Rich
ardson's place as national committeeman
There had been talk of putting him as
national committeeman before this. The
defeat of Richardson in his own district
on Tuesday seems to have paved the way
for the substitution without an intra-
party struggle in Massachusetts,. Martin
has had much political experience. He
was at one time secretary of the Repub-
lican State Committee. He has been
member of the House of Representatives
for a dozen years and seems safe to be
reelected for many more, If he so
desires.
The Republicans are quite cheerful
over their prospects in Maine. The elec-
ton there of Governor, Senator and
members of the House takes place in
September. Despite the claims of the
Democrats, the Republicans believe they
will make a clean sweep in Maine this
year-and they may. Gov. Brann, Demo-
crat, who is out for the Senate against
Senator Wallace White, Republican, is
not quite as popular as he used to be.

News Behind the News
John Garner Breaks a Precedent
His Reason is Three-fOld He's Not
Sticking His Neck Out

WASHINGTON-Vice President John Nance
Garner did the unprecedented in endorsing Con-
gressmen Sam Rayburn of Texas Tor the House
floor leadership. because Roosevelt wanted him
to because Rayburn is his old and close friend
and because Garner felt sure his public declar-
alton would have the effect OF clnchlng RAY
burns victory.
Mr. Garner is not given TO sticking his neck
out He operates on the theory that vice pres
idents should be seen little as possible and
heard not at all.
So it required plenty of motivation to cause
him to inject himself publicly into situation
which technically and theoretically is an affair
solely of the House-Mr Garner being president
of the Senate.
His announced promise to work for Rayburns
election was piece Of the administration STRAIT
egy which calls for mailing down the leadership
before the president returns from South Ameri-
ca both to spare the White House embarrass-
ment and to ease off the inevitable bitterness
which will follow the probable defeat OF Rules
Chairman John O'Connor of New York, Ray
burns chief opponent.
The Garner statement, timed and planned
with the rest of the pro-Rayburn campaign, was
also designed to help up the minds OF new
Democratic members and some old ones who
weren't sure how they meant to vote, but might
be promptly persuaded if they knew Roosevelt
were for Rayburn.
O'Connor supporters had been inSisting-and
they still do-that O'Connor was the presidents
personal preference.
Bright boys all knew different. They
working behind the scenes for Rayburn various
gents who, if the White House hadn't passed
the word on, would never have moved a finger
in the House contest.
Garner, in effect, put the administrators
seal of approval on Rayburn and if any doubt
full Congress wants personal, private assurance
from the vice president he can get it.
There are 335 Democrats in the next House,
so it takes 1853 votes to nominate in caucus the
Democrat who will be the next majority leader
and probably before long, the next speaker.
O'Connor has claimed 200 votes; Rayburn
has said he could count few less than that.
Rayburn's claims have been the more generally
accepted but OConnor IS more adept than the
Texan at making deals and some OF the admin
istration strategists somewhat worried un-
til Garner spoke.
O'Connor strength has been chiefly in north
ern states which have large delegations AS
chairman of the rules committee, he was able
to make many members indebted to him by
granting the rules which allowed their pet bills
to reach the floor.
Two years ago the administration made
futile, covert effort to elect Rayburn speaker
instead of the late Joe Byrns TO Tennessee
Garner at that time asked to take
hand for Rsyburn, but he took one look and
reported the attempt was hopeless.
This time Garner sure Rayburn, who
has won administration favor by able handling
of important New Deal legislation, fought by
stock exchange and public utility interests, could
be put over

THE BEST MEMORIAL
(San Diego Sum


The proposal to set Up a suitable memorial
here possibly plaque for the late Nine. Schu-
mann-Heink will unquestic.iaby meet with unan-
imous approval
II was with San Diego that Nine. Schumann-
Heink was most intimately associated in her
later years II was here that her closest friends
brought her body for its final honors. 1t should
theefore be here first of all, that steps should
be initiated to perpetuate her name in some
suitable manner.
For that matter her name will live long in
the hearts of men without such recognition, but
memorial such as is proposed could be made
at the same time a gesture toward peace.
There is no cause that she would be more eager
to serve. War brought her more heataches than
it brought to the average mother, for she was
torn between her loves for sons on either side
of the world conflict. Peace would have meant
to her an end to that distress.
No one could have wished more than Nine
Schumann-H -Heink that mothers of the world
should never again have to suffer the torture
of giving their sons in war. In her name. there
fore, and in the cause of peace, let the veterans
of all wars and of all sides OF ali wars, insofar
as they are represented here aid in making
real peace memorial possible.
That memorial could well start by bringing
former allies and former enemies together around
a festive table. Out Of that could and should
grow a camaraderie that would not only heal old
wounds but go far toward preventing new ones.
Let these say what would be most appro-
pirate for the great singer who at every Christ
mas sang TO her boys" the world over.
This is no shallow pacifism, but recogni-
ton Of a sentiment that tugs at the hearts OF
all mankind-a sentiment needed in the world
more now than it has been at any time since

One gets the impression, reading
the news from Europe these days,
that the world is standing on the
threshold of great and terrible
changes; that European civilization
is taking the social fabric which it
has woven with such pains from
the days of Charlemagne and is pre-
pairing to rend it down the middle,
bringing to a close whole cycle
of human progress and making way
for something new. chaotic, and
utterly unpredictable.
Is that too dark a picture? Then
how else can the dispatches from
overseas be read?
Already the civil war in Spain is
more than a civil war; and is rapid
ly becoming an actual conflict be-
tween two opposing concepts of So
cial organization. Stemming directly
from Rome, Berlin, and Moscow.
Germany and Japan form an an
ti-communist alliance, and it is
openly limited that they will go to
war in the spring. Britain arms
with feveriSh haste, Moscow boasts
OF 1000 war planes. and every cor
respondent agrees that the only rea-
son new world war has not yet
begun is that the nations are not
quite ready for it.
No American can contemplate
that prospect without prayerfully
asking what his own country's
course should be when the break
up begins. What must we do.
when the rest of the world resorts
to violence to make earth shaking
changes? Can we keep out of it
and, If We can, should we?
We can. if we insist upon it. we
should, if We can.
In 1916 We heard a great deal of
hifalutin talk to the effect that we
owed high duty to the rest of the
world, that it was somehow ignoble
and unworthy for us to sit peace
fully at home when great issues were
being settled by the sword overseas.
II and when this new European
buSt-up comes, we shall certainly
hear more of that kind of talk.
We ought to prepare our defenses
ahead of time. Let us get it clearly
IN our heads that If Europe goes to
war again, We can best serve the
world by staying at peace-by pre-
serving. on one continent at least,
an oasis of sanity in a world gone
mad.
If We can put ourselves in shape
to resist the war propaganda, the
material part of the job ought to be
easier.
We can resolve not to let our land
be turned into a source of supply
for either side-for the last war
taught us how perilous that it. We
can follow the lead of the Buenos
Aires conference and cement the
trade and political relations of the
new world.
We can make ourselves see that
no matter how painful might be

Think what you will of Mrs. Wallis
Simpson, for whose love King Edward

pressed feeling about the Tulsa, Okla,
pastor and cousin of Mrs. Simpson. He
feels disgust and disappointment the
pastor says. about his cousins part in
the British crisis. He disapproves Of
the idea of divorce, and thinks Mrs.
Simpson is much too blatant about her
own two divorces.
Psychologists might find some rea-
son for his publicly expressed opinion
in his own admission that he comes
from the poor side of the family. One
wonders if there is not trace of envy
in his disappointment.
Anyone is privileged to think what ne
