A one-cent piece, too slight to nurse.
And yet, the face upon it set
Is Lincoln's, still so proudly met.
A postage stamp paused to buy
In haste; and yet I wondered why
So slight a thing somehow had won
The portrait of George Washington.
So as we toll from dawn till late,
We find that they are truly great
Who help, amid the stress and strife,
To do the little things of life.

and epreSentatlveS-WhO have been
opposed to the court bill or to other
measures advocated by the President
understand the situation quite well.
Whether it will scare them into future
good behavior or whether it will have an
opposite effect the coming session of
Congress likely will show. But some of
them seem slated for the AK in any event
no matter what their future course.
There are seven Democratic Senators
who openly stood out against the court
bill and who are up for denomination
next year. There are others, too, though
not so conspicuous in their opposition.
In 1910 there are ten more who opposed
the court bill-and the PreSident-who
must go to the polls again If they are to
remain in the Senate. Next year Senators
Clark of Missouri, George of Georgia,
Gillette of Iowa, McCarran of Nevada,
Smith of South Carolina, Tydings of
Maryland and Van Nuys of Indiana all
run the gantlet of the party primary.
They all have powerful followings in
their States. In 1910 Senators Burke
of Nebraska, Byrd of Virginia, Connally
of Texas, Donahey of Ohio, Gerry of
Rhode Island, Holt of West Virginia,
King of Utah, OMahoney of Wyoming,
Walsh of Massachusetts, and Wheeler
of Montana all have their numbers up.

The administration, 1t seems, keeps
on dallying with the idea that it would
be a good and salutary thing If some
of these Senators, if not all of them,
should fail to return to Washington
when next they come up for reelection.
1t might be satisfied with the defeat of

@. Why are there so many clashes be-
tween Moslems and Jews near the Wall
ing Wall in Jerusalem?-M. S.
A. The wall is near the Mosque of
Omar and it has been necessary for
Jews to traverse narrow winding Arab
streets to reach the wall. A new road
is now being built that will give easy
access even by automobile. Its cost is
to be provided by Jewish taxpayers.

Wilhelm Of Bismarck?
"Why 90 you call him Wilhelm III?
He would prefer to be likened to Bis
marck."
There are differences between the
Kaiser and the prophet. The Kaiser
looks like somebody about to 90 some
thing. Hitler looks as if he had just
been caught doing something Also.
I believe, the Kaiser was accustomed
to commune with God, whereas the
prophet comes down from the noun
tains having communed with himself
"Oh, yes, there are great differ
ences. But there are greater Slmllarl-
ties. The Kaiser broke with Russia,
while deploring the danger OF the
Yellow Peril from Japan. The prophet
breaks with Russia while glad-eying
the Japs, whom he has discovered
to be Aryans along with the Arabic
Moors. Have you been able to figure
out why an African soldier on the
Rhine is a pollution of the Nordic
race, and is its savior in Spain? Both
found themselves encircled by enc
mics, both admired England while
deploring the English. Mr.. Hitler, for
instance. finds that the so-called
English Mr.. Eden Is doing his coun-
try a grave wrong by being so very
un-English as to think like an Eng
lishman. Like the Kaiser, Mr.. Hit
Ter thinks the English should think
like Germans. A grave error, made
once eefore In history.
Bismarck Knew Climax.
But the greatest similarity is In
the cosmic mysticism of their dreams.
And that is why they are alike, and
neither of them in the least like Bis
marck. Bismarck believed in blood
and iron and German unity. But
Bismarck knew precisely what he
wanted. He also knew how to get it.
He knew that he could not have both
Russia and Britain as enemies. He
made one his ally and he kept the
other neutral And when he got
what he wanted. he stopped, and
thereafter behaved like a good Euro
pean. Bismarck will go down in his
tory as the German statesman who
knew when to stop"

country spends the bulk of its national
income on guns, Is not the best ac-

Britain says she won't say either, but
she is equipping every man, woman

plan that worked well until the men,
bership campaigns of the Lewis unions
upset it. The plan was to organize
workers council in which the repre-
sentatives of every group were given
a place and the number Of agents on
the council was proportioned numer-
ically to the totals in each group as
ascertained in a secret ballot elec-
ton.
Something OF the same kind would
seem to be the next step in the set
tlement of the present difficulty. As
for the Lewis unions, they hope the
demonstration they have made will
get them more members. This Is the
main reason why strikes are called
to make a show of strength, which
helps the local organizers in pursuing
their membership canvasses. If, by
chance, a strike called by minority
results in concessions, this is a big
talking point for the organizers, who
declare that had it not been for their
strike certain advantages would not
be enjoyed.
Won't Stop With Defeat.
So the wind-up Of the affair may
be an election and the Lewis unions
may prove to be in the minority, but
their membership workers will not be
discouraged by that, but rather will
use speech making and campaigning
by John Lewis and others who have
achieved national attention in the
controversy as a means of getting
together big crowds of workmen for

labor unions to assume responsible
