The one-penny black of Great
Britain, long considered the first
stamp ever issued, may now take
second place with discovery of
Cape of Good Hope one-penny
stamp that appears to have been
issued in 1882, eight years before
the penny black came out. This
stamp was found on a copy of a
newspaper that had been mailed
in South Africa in 1882.

THE POT SPEAKS

Names reelection of Republican Senator White
over Democratic Governor Brann may be protested,
Democratic Senator Joseph F. Gufey of Pennsyl-
vania indicates in statement issued in his capacity
as chairman of the Democratic senatorial campaign
committee There is at least says Senator Gutfey,
prma facie case of violation of the federal cleo
ton laws and, beside,
There has been disclosed enough concern
ing the inordinate amount of money expended
on Senator Whites behalf to make it oblga-
tory to demand recount of the Maine ballot
If the evidence justifes it, there will be con-
test when Senator White attempts to take his
seat in the senate"
There are several grimy humorous angles to this
campaign incident. One of them is that the Demo
Gratis who have poured public money into receptive
Maine like cheese down a rat hole should assume
from the mere fact of $4,000 in private contrl-
buttons to the Republican cause in Maine that dirty
work has gone on at the crossroads Another, ard
not the least grim, is that Senator Guffey should
threaten as chairman of "a strictly partisan COM
mittee to take action later or in his capacity as
U. S. ,fficial
But the grmmest Ct all, perhaps, is that Sen
ator from Pennsylvania Pennsylvania, mind you
should have the nerve to speak uncomrlimentary
of an election in Maine or anywhere else. If this
sort of thing keeps up, we may expect Tammany
in New York to protest some lost election on the
ground that it was stolen.--CharOtte News.

1914 model, Is quaIiheo by some
concession that perhaps the
Roosevelt administration is right
about government regulation,
about doles, about increase of the
federal power.
While the governor and his
hackers are thus twittering about
one thing and another, Franklin
D. Roosevelt and his administra-
ton have done things. And every
non-political sign, the signs of
actual national progress, shows
they were the right thing to
meet the changing economic
order The increase in the public
debt has been more than justified
by the increase in the national in
come. Few corporations can
show such record of sagacity in
return on their borrowings. Few
are in as healthy a condition as
the Treasury of the United States,
whose policies they venture to
criticize.
A S this is written the PennSyl-
vania Railroad reports that for
July its net railway operating in
come has increased 56.6 per cent
over the same month of 1885. This
was one of the roads that pro-
tested most loudly against the
New Deals insistence that the
railroads cut passenger fares to
two cents a mile The protest,
and the result, are typical of that
state of mind that calls the New
Deal I'M American.
It is not the American way, nor
the American mind, nor the mind
of the true pioneer of either yes
terday'S or today's frontier. 1t is
the mind of the Tory.
The American way, the way of
the frontier, new or old, is to 20
forth and meet difficulties gallant
ly, to meet them and to beat them
whether they be scalping Indians
Of the Kansas prairies or the
equally savage gentlemen of fren-
lied finance and special privilege
who are likewise unmindful, when
they shear their victims, whether
the scalp comes away with the
hair.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
MATTER OF DIVISION

The Daily News shares Fundamentally in the JOY
occasioned by the revelation of increased national
farm income during the past year.
The 1885 total announced by the department
If agriculture reached sos 0O0,0 OO or the high
as+ in six years While it is still approximately
GO 600 600 900 short of the 1929 peak, the depart
roant catalogues it "a real farm income" of 2 per
cont more than during that year; calculation
,,oda on the basis of "the difference IN the level
of prices paid by the farmers for commodities pur-
chased for the family's living"
Agriculture, for all the changing trends, Is still
basic in America and more particularly In the
South. Without farm buying power, industry IS IN
dood in a bad way, as attested by the stagnation
which overlook it and business generally during
the depression years and the steadfast Improvement
which has come concurrently with restoration OF
this vital force in the mraket. The interdependa-
hilitv of the farm and the factory, including the
distributing factors which stand between Is so we'll
as to need no re-emphasis
But amidst the rejoicing and the abiding hope
that such Improvement will continue on an even
greater scale, certain questions remain unanswered
in the general figures which Washington has re-
leased The income is chronicled as having gone to
farm operators. How was the division, We wonder,
among the big and little operators? That question
goes back to AAA and its imposition Of hardShlps
upon rather than benefits for the little farmer and
the sharecropper and tenant under-dogs. Farm IN
come has improved, industrial activity has picked
up sharply and business is tipping away with some
thing like old-time speed and fervor. Yet, withal
is practically at standstil and re-
lief expenditures have jumped from $1,624S $780,
900 in 1884 to more than $3,OOO,OOO,OOO for the
advancing year of 1886.
This phenomenon of slipping back two steps
every time you essay one forward is, after all, cal
culated to take some of the edge off the otherwise
general iubilation.-Greensboro News.

THE SAME OLD STORY

A proposal by Major General Moseey for the
Civilian Conservation Corps to enlist every boy in
the country at the age of Is and give him SIX
months of mixed conservation work, education and
rudimentary military training has fallen on unsym-
pathetic ears Never! cried the peace societies,
while the White House was prompt to say that its
intentions were unchanged to confne the CCC to
the undertakings for which it was originally Gre
ated.
1t is as we'll If the CCC began to turn out half
trained soldiers it wouldn't be long, probably, I'M
til it was thought advisably to complete their train
ing, thus adding permanently to the size of the
standing army And as far permanent goes,
there is every indication that the CCC which start
ed out to be an emergency affair, is here for ever.
That would be all right as long there was essen
tal work to be done, there still is. But the plac-
ing of CCC camps has ceased to be dictated by con-
siderations of usefulness. Political considerations,
rather-in fine, the trade of CCC camps with local
merchants-are controlling factor. That precise
ly, is what keeps the CCC at depression-time
strength when the depression is over.

GOVERNMENT is WHAT THE PEOPLE
MAKE 1T
BY RRuCE CATION


II might help our political arguments
good deal if we could understand, once
and for ALL that a stream never can rise
any higher than its source.
That is to say that it is foolish OF US 10
expect anything more from our govern
ment in the way of intelligence, tolerance
and foresight than we, the great body OF
undistinguished voters, are willing to give
it.
II can't 90 above our level. If it does,
the chances are that we ruthlessly shall
yank it back down at the first opportunity.
Washington is a reflection of Main street.
All this is brought to mind by reading
of the set of principles approved at the
recent National Progressive Conference IN
Chicago.
The last item on the list of obJectlVes
for progressive voters read like this:
1.-The right of every American to live UNI
der a government strong enough to sup
press the lawless, wise enough to see be-
yond the selfish desires of the moment, and
just enough to consider the welfare of the
people as a whole"
That is a noble objective. 1t is we'll to
reaffirm that every American has that
right, and to insist that the reality at Wash
ington come as close to the ideal as IS hu-
manly possible.
But to do so it will be necessary for US to
remember constantly that river cannot
rise above its source . that government
never will be any better than the people as
a whole want it to be.
For we, the people, are the government.
Our constitution was Skillfully designed to
make US so. When we demand strength,
wisdom, and justice for our government,
we simply are demanding those qualities
for ourselves; contrariwise, the very forces
which assail the government and occasion
ally prevent it from exercising those quail
ties come also from ourselves.
The government must be strong enough
to suppress lawlessness-as for instance,
during prohibition, when the lawlessness of
bootlegging drew its support directly from
the great mass Of the citizenry?
The government must be wise enough
to; see beyond the selfish desires of the mo-
ment-as, for instance, in 1928 and 1929,
when any attempt at Washington to curb
the runaway boom would have drawn from
all corners of the land blast strong
enough to level the walls of Jericho?
The government must be just enough to
consider the welfare of all the people
when the people, all across the land, or
ganize themselves into pressure groups to
make sure that their own group problems
shall receive attention before the problems
of the nation as whole?
The problems of democracy are many
hut none is greater than this: that democ
rarv calls on individual citizens to give tt
their government strength, a wisdom, anc
q Tolerance greater thas they ordinarily
know they possess themselves. :.
Democratic government is mirror II
which the common man sees his own VIZ
tines and his own faihngs. To improve /
we must start at the very bottom-witf
ourselves.

The tendency to rule congress
by pressure groups is bad. 1t is
un-American. If a sizeable group
can get together, create a fund,
employ lobbyists and say to con-

devil take everybody else" and
if congress is receptive to such
pressure, where in the name of
sweet Liberty are we heading? If
pressure groups can finance polit-
ical campaigns and put their rep
resentatives in our halls of legis-
lation, national and state, then de-
mocracy becomes a farce; and we
are no longer a republic but an
oligarchy-a government Of the
many for the benefit Of the few.
Unless we rigidly guard our
government from assault and per-
version, we shall have no govern

Sacred Isle of Hebrides

The island of Iona, the sacred isle
Of the Hebrides, off the west coast OF
Scotland, is the birthstone Of Scotia's
nationality, culture and religion. and
the Church of st. COLUMBIA might be
called the Westminster Abbey of the
land, for it contains royalties of Scot
land, Ireland, Norway and France.
The isle Is only three and a half
miles long by about half a mile broad
and from the height of Duni, an in
trancing view of wild beauty greets the
eye. 1t has been a sacred isle from
times immemOrial, to the Druids before
the Christians.
In A. D. 563 st. COLUMBIA and his II
disciples went there from Ireland,
where he had established some 40
monasteries, to evangelize the wild
Picts and Scots. The last Scottish
king to be laid in its soil was the

In 1851 Protestant Scotland suppressed
