Three-Minute
Journeys
By TEMPLE MANNING

To drive through the beauti-
full highways to the historic
shrines and battlefields Of New
England is all education, a
duty and a delight. To go
through lovely villages to catch
glimpses Of touches Of early
American life is an inspiration.
Within a few miles Of busy in
dustrial centers there are sleepy
villages, beautiful old farm
houses, commons shaded by
giant elms, churches that have
called their worshipers to
prayer for centuries, old inns
that seem reminiscent Of old
England, gentle meadows and
sweet, rolling hills.
The controversy between
provincetown and Plymouth
about the landing Of the May"
flower bids fair to rival the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS controversy,
so visitors have to visit both har.
borS.
Provincetown insists that the
Pilgrims landed there first, and
they have built a monument to
prove their claim. It is $50
feet above sea level and it is
the pride of Provincetown.
To the natives it is more i'm
posing and even more important
than Plymouth Rock. some 40
miles across the bay.
Cape Cod itself is one Of the
worlds finest Fairgrounds. Den
mis-. Hyannis, Barnstable, Truro.
Falmouth, Cohasset. BuzZard's
Bay-each of these towns is a
sheer delight. In the autumn.
when crowds are smaller. one
can find plenty Of natives with
whom to chat, natives to whom
everyone not born on the Cape
is q "furriner," even If he is
from Pittsfield In the Berk-
ShireS.
That brings to mind that
grand region, as beautiful in
autumn as in any time Of
year. Longfellow, Oliver Wen
dell Holmes, Melville, and Haw-
thorne all lived in the neigh
borhood of Pittsfield and Lenox.

How We Vote

While other municipalities hold their local elections
the Capital of the Nation sits on the sideines.
Many of its residents will vote in other States. Some
of them will be able to vote

States to VOTE as the only method by which they can
participate in the processes by which all of us are
governed.
But the great majority of honest and women who
live in Washington continue to be completely, if not
as hopelessly dsfranchised the criminals whom
lock up for life in penitentiaries.
There remains no reason whatever except the whim
of Congress- why residents of Washington should not be
permitted as matter of right to vote
On the Presidency of the United States
On members of the Senate and House.
On Municipal candidates who levy, collect and
Spend taxes for municipal purposes.

the high seas and then stage a
sit-down strike in the harbor Of
Montevideo, Uruguay, Joseph

Action against the Kennedy
regime is being brought about
by leaders of the I. L. A., a
CLIO affiliate. who for years
have been the prime thorn in
the side Of orderly labor organi-
cations. Their contribution to
the seething unrest that was
prevalent along our coastal do
main is a matter of record. The
latest incident no doubt will
prove the one that shattered
the dromedary's vertebrae.
Mutiny demands drastic &C.

faring men, mutiny on the high

THE quietu o1 this assem-
bling Cons ress is unnatural.
Congressman who have come
back already, and others can
vassed by mail, are significantly
silent about their purposes.
Usual promises and threats are
missing.
When Congressman are
speeches., you may be sure
trouble is nigh. This time It
seems to mean trouble for the
Roosevelt program.
Judging by few things they
are saying behind their hands,
the President is going to have a
congressional session which will
not be openly rebelliouS, bus
paSSively resisting and unman-
ageable. This hidden method
of opposition seems to have
spread lately as a result of the
business situation. There is
much talk backstage about Con-
gress taking matters in it's own
hands.
THE news that came out of
the railroad presidents
meeting in Chicago did not fill
two sticks on the stock market
page, but the report they sup
pressed have made headlines.
1t seems the rail chiefs con-
sidered a report on their trou-
bles called 1.-THE Crisis" 1t was
prepared by the experts Of the
Association of American Rail-
roads. The chiefs thought it too
hot to print, and are having it
toned down.
What it said was rail costs
have been boosted tremen-
douSly by new tax laws, Dy III
creasing prices Of things the
railroads must buy, by wage
advances. The total rise In
costs was computed at $685.
100000 annually, of which
$111,00O,O0O represents new
Federal taxes unemployment
compensation, railroad retire
ment act and tax on wage in
creases).
Ninety-six railroads are in the
hands Of receivers. These lines
operate % per cent Of the total
mileage of the country. Two
million persons own railroad
stock. The roads buy % per
cent Of all bituminous coal
mined; 10 per cent Of fuel oil
production; II per cent of iron
and steel production; 20 per
cent of cut timber.
What they are leading up
to, Of course, is an increase in
freight rates. But an increase
of Is per cent would only in
crease their revenues $600,0O0.-
600 a year, which is less than
their computed cost rise.
What the railroads really
need is a Moses, like Mr.. Wal
lace, to lead them out of bond
age. If they could get anything
even approaching a parity of
income with 1921, like Wallace
is championing for the farmer
(1909-1913), their troubles would
be over.
ONE thing the Business Ad-
" visory Council has been
playing around with is the side
tracked plan to make unions
responsible for fulfillment Of
contracts. They have held sew
eral long unreported sessions on
the subject and a development
may be expected shortly.
It has long been forgotten,
but Mr.. Roosevelt took a stand
on the question during the auto
strike settlement last March.
He then said: "1ndustry's OBJ
legations are clearly set forth
and its responsibilities are es-
tabliShed. It is not too much
to expect organizations Of en-
ployeS to observe the same
ethical and moral responsible
tiles even though they are not
specifically prescribed by the
statute"

and its God for its decisions?
Mrs. Faith Settle has set me
wondering. Mrs. Settle is a
cousin of mourned Amelia Ear
hart, and her letter contained
a copy of one from Amelia's
mother, a heartbroken wall OF
terror and longing for the lost
girl. How could Amelia-how
can anyone-risk personal adj
venture at the price of such
anguish? asks Mrs. Settle.
Just How Fair
Is Such a Test?
"CAN ANYONE GAIN PEACE
OF MIND FOR HIMSELF IF
HE DOES so AT THE COST
OF PEACE OF MIND TO
THOSE WHO LOVE HIM
BEST?"
A moving and, seemingly,
convincing argument. Yet just
how fair is such a test, actually,
of an actions morality? Sup
pose we apply it to life at large,
from the very beginning Of his
tory.
Was there ever an adventure,
however worthy, which was not
viewed with terror or grief, re-
sentiment, envy or downright
hate by the more ttmid, or the
more conventional, or even the
most loving?
Mothers have always wept =.
Fathers have always ragged ..
The jealous have always
Sneered :.
The orthodox have always
viewed with alarm go.
And many a time these express
sions Of disapproval have sprung
from the most sincere, even
pious, motives. But what would
have happened If those motives
had been considered?
Suppose Columbus had re-
fused to sail because everyone
thought him a fool? .. suppose
Joan Of Arc had gone back to
her flocks when priests and war
riors ordered her to do so?
Suppose PaSteur had ceased his
experiments when they were de-
clared sacrilegious and lola
had given up his courageous
fight for the truth and Abra-
ham Lincoln had put aside his
pity for the slaves?

We MUST ignore sobs and

We CANNOT let "the other fell
lows feelings" bar our path.
With all tenderest regard for
those feelings, they are, all too
often, inspired by a peevishness
or a cowardice which DOES
NOT DESERVE CONsIDERA'

Then how can we tell when
the act we contemplate is worth
the pain it will cost? We can't

there is a power behind US

1t has been ! per cent unSuC-
cessful only because of its inability
to get the full campaign quota
set during the past few years,
these quotas being the minimum
necessary properly to finance the
operating budgets of the many
agencies within the Chest for
those years.
ANSWER TO CRITICS
Some complain of a few extra
appeals for funds this past year,
but what would happen if con-
tributionS were forced once more
to go back to listening each year
to appeals for funds by more than
50 different agencies?
Sixty-nine campaigns instead Of
one! Where could business men
find time to listen? Who on earth
would have the patience to listen?
And where could we find time to
investigate the responsibility OF
these agencies?
What could we do to insure the
proper spending of the money we
all wish to contribute to those
caring for the sick, the aged, the
character building of underprivi'
legged youngsters, and to other So
cial welfare activities?
NOT ENOUGH TIME
And where could the members
of the boards of those agencies (69
in alb find the time to put on
drives for funds?

ure the great value of the Commu-
