QTeCGly OIL LIE
Senate chamber and is regarded
as one Of the most famous places
in the world.
1t was set aside as retiring spot
for the President of the United
States to use when he came to the
Capitol, and it has been made IA
nous by the long succession Of
Chief Executives who sat there on
important historical occasions.
Fear that the many visitors
would eventually ruin the beauti-
ful draperies and fittings of the
room led to this drastic step being
taken during the annual summer
renovation Of the building.
The gate is similar to the one
the protects the Old Supreme
Court room and will allow tourists
to step inside the threshold so as
to give adequate room to see
everything but it will keep them
from getting close enough to
scratch the leather cushions off
the chairs or chip the plaster off
the walls.
VANDALISM
Mr.. Trice and Col. Edwin A. Hal
sey, Secretary of the Senate, de-
clared that the vandalism had ex-
tended so far that one of the gold
hands had been stolen from the
grandfather clock; that the tassels
and the tie-backs and the fringe
on the Grapes had been almost
all torn off and that the wood.
work around the two huge win
dows had been filled with names
written by those who felt they
must leave behind some evidence
that they had walked around in
a sanctuary designed for the Presi-
dent.
In the middle Of this exquisitely
decorated space is a table known
as the Lincoln table. It was here,
legend has it. that President
Abraham Lincoln signed the Proc
lamation Of Emancipation. The
top of this table is now covered
with a rose-colored baize. Accord
ing to Mr.. Trice and Colonel Hal.
sey, this is new compared with the
other fittings of the room.
The table had to be recovered
several years ago because someone
cut out a long strip Of the original

A later check showed it was a
lot better than that. In a State
factory investigation, made six

MANY PRECEDENTS
The Harvard professors are
nearly 200 years behind Helm
rich Stiegel. who made the early
American "stiegel glass" which
is so highly priced. He started
his factory near Philadelphia in
1865. I quote from Made in
America" by the late Susan
Smith:
Emusic and dancing every
night after work. If any man
could play an instrument,
Stiegel would send and get it
for him-even to Germany If
necessary; music was the very
breath of life to him. He had
a rallied bandStand built on his
roof, running from one great
chimney to the other, and there
musicians played every night
after dinner"
The Greek sponge fishermen, at
Tarpon Springs, Fla, were about
5000 years ahead of Harvard.
At their coffee house today, and
on their fishing boats are trained
orators who recite for them the
orations Of Demosthenes, or the
plays Of Sophocles. It is an an
Gent custom. In Tampa, the cigar
Strippe-S are provided with men
who read aloud. It is an accepted
performance of cigar-making.
regret space is lacking for the
endless precedents at hand, show
ing that sensible employers have
known for centuries what the
pedagogues now are so deliberately
proving with their laborious re-
search. Not that belittle their
efforts. We don't seem to be able
to put anything over in this coun-
try until the scientific panjan-
drums give it a run-arouno and
tag it with a long name.

"It has increased our public debt until today the
total is equal to tLUO-thrds of the GnUaL income

"This is the kind of Government Ue must haze

(From Governor Alfred M. Londons speech at Buffalo,
august &c. 1867
Improving business has given the Roosevelt admins
tration the chance to claim that I'VE planned it that
way, and don't let anyone tell you differently
Business Is better. There is no denying that. But
whether it is better BECAUSE Of Mr. Roosevelt or IN
SPITE of Mr. Roosevelt is matter on which intelligent
persons have little doubt
Business BEGAN to get better uOhen the Supreme
Court unanimously declared the National Recovery
that the decision DOuA be crushing bLOlU to re-
cOUery. The EXACT OPPOSITE proved to be the
case.
But such recovery as has been achieved-IN
SPITE Of Mr. Rooseve-is not altogether genuine when
you remember that there are nearly as many people
unemployed NOW there were when Mr. Roosevelt
took office
With some eleven million jobless, or on "made"
work, with much more than twenty million receiving
relief in some form or other-is prosperity HERE?
II 1t Is, it is a unique kind Of prosperity.
The truth Is that Mr. Roosevelt has increased taxes
and increased the national deb-he latter to the stag
gering sum Of THIRTY FIVE THOUSAND MILLION
DoLLARS-without making real dent in unemploy-
ment.
He has tied milestone of taxes and debt around the
neck Of every man, woman and child WITHOUT even
BEGINNING to solve the unemployment problem.
When Governor Landon points that out, he did in
his speech at Buffalo, he puts the issue Of this election
squarely before the American people.
Prosperity With eleven million out of work.?
That is the net result of nearly four years of
waste, shOwn,anship and bOOndOggltng.
Maybe the Administration didn't plan it that way.
But that's the way it has worked out And nobody can
tell you differently if you will take the trouble to
pare these FACTS with the fantasies put out by the

TO HOLD SERVICE AT
BLACKWATER SUNDAY

tConfinHed from First Psse1
Charles Tennent, whose father was
e pastor and teacher at the "Old Log
college" now known as Princeton
university. His brothers were among
the organizers of the church at New
Castle, and Of the Buckingham
Church in Maryland. The Rev. Mr..
Iennent was succeeded by the Rev.
James Wilson, of Philadelphia. Be
tween 1774 and 1884, the Rev. John
Rankin was pastor.
Old Blackwater Church came near
passing out of the story in 1921, but
the faithful few stuck and revived it
and about 1859 1t was united with
Buckingham and Laurel, under the
name of the United Churches Of
buckingham. Later the union was
dissolved because the Buckingham
congregation demanded the exclu-
siye services of the Rev. H. X. Han
dy, then pastor. In 1855, the Rev.
William Graham became pastor and
the following year the Ocean View
Presbyterian Church was organized
by the congregation of Blackwater.
The Frankford Church is a branch
of old Blackwater.

JOSEPH'S WAY, AND THE NEW
DEAL.
charleston. s. c.. News and Courier

Charleston, s. c.. News and Courier
1t is singular that the secretary of
agriculture, Henry A. Wallace,
should begin an address in these
words:
Joseph was one of the earliest
economic statesmen in history. Dur
ing seven years of good weather, ac-
cording to the forty-seventh chapter
Of Genesis, he stored up the surplus
crops to be used when the drought
years came"
Singular, because where Joseph
stored up the surplus, the New Deal
destroyed the seeming abundance.
Not only that, but the New Deal,
hoping to assure against plenty, set
about to control production by cur
failing acreage and by limiting the
breeding of swine and cattle.
Under the New Deal the seeming
surplus was reduced and then the
dTOughts and the dust storms came.
The surplus was gone and the new
crops failed to produce enough for
the normal needs of the whole peO-
pie. JOseph's people had the stored
supplies upon which to draw; the
American people were. and are,
without great store of supplies.
If the plan followed by Joseph of
old were in effect, the American peO-
pie would not be compelled to i'm
port great quantities Of fOOdstuffs.

TAXES KILLING INDUSTRY


Processing taxes amounting to ST.

ter, N. H., by the New Deal in two
years ruined the largest cotton tex
tile plant in the world and forced it

Old-cOncern, succumbing to New
Deal policies provided employment
for 5000 workers last year, with 49,
900 employed at peak operations.
Where will they get jobs, on the New
Deal relief rolls?
In 1888 the company paid a small
profit; in 1884 it did $4,000 900 great
er gross sales, but lost all profits
through taxes. Then Japanese cot
ton shipments (prOduced by SO per-
55-hour-week labor) flooded the
American markets. as a result of
short-sighted New Deal policies.
