Needed Some
Kind of Library
Six years ago Mrs. Howard
Gales, living in a neighborhood
on the outskirts of silver
Spring, decided that life was
too difficult without a circulat-
ing library near at hand. Some
thing should be done about it.
Why not own a supply Of cur
rent books and offer them to
people for a small fee to cover
carrying charges? But how to
begin?
She confided her aims and
fevered ambitions to Elizabeth
Altemus, another young matron
with time on her hands, and
two heads proved better than
one. They pooled their house
keeping expenses for two weeks,
and purchased the first install
ment Of books. Their husbands
never knew why they had been
dragged to the club and various
other places to dine for a solid
fortnight, so expertly was this
little deceit Unanswered. So was
born the Rowing Library.
Territory Enlarged
To Outskirts
That was six years ago. Now
the library supplies between $50
and 500 books a month. The
territory covers all the North
west section, with embassies and
legations the most active GUS
toners. Outlying districts in
Virginia and Maryland come in
for their share Of service. too.
Affairs progressed Swimmingly
though informally until two
years ago when a practical work
ing organization was formed.
Dora Thompson joined the firm,
and presently the assisting staff
included Frances Sadd, Florence
Wright, Minette Shields, Pearl
Mcpherson, Marty johnson and
two girls who work in case Of
emergency, Beatrice Truesdell
and Marty Brooks.
Although various members OF
the staff spend only as much or
as little time as suits their con-
venience, Mrs. Eales says as
head of the organization she,
herself, gives to the library all
the attention she doesn't concen-
trate on her husband, her home
and her social activities.
All the young matrons in the
group chorus gaily together,

ing. We do not neglect our

Wants Better Life
For Children

Men would have kept right on
eating raw mastodonS and drag
ging their mates off by the
hair, if it were not for that
devouring flame, in the heart
of nearly every woman, to make
life better for her children.
It was the cave-woman who
first tanned skins to keep her
babies warm. She made pot
terry in which to cook and pre-
serve their food. She planted
wild seeds which. through long
processes of evolution, have
given us today'S bread-making
grain.
So, when a girl lacks this
most civilizing of influences, she
has lost the thing which really
makes her count as woman.
She has her counterpart in
the man whose home is any,
where he hangs his hat, and he
too regards children as a men,
ace. If men and women who
lack the fundamental urge to
mate, make homes and rear
children, will only wait for each
other, they will be infinitely
happier than if they mated with
the normal home-loving, child
loving type.
Woman Disliked
Children
A little while ago a girl wrote
to this column that she was
tempted to marry, but disliked
children. If memory serves, my

were normal woman she
would probably love the chill.

I'm giving part of it verbatim:
Dear Miss Fairfax:
II too disliked bowling

who meant well, to persuade me
to have a child. Throughout its
baby years I had competent
servants and a nurse to assume
the physical care. AS my child
passed from the infant state I
overcame my resentment and
bitterness, but never have I overy
come the tiresome monotony
and deadly boredom of child

PARAMoUNTING HONESTY

The man on the street will tell you that there
will be only one real issue in the summer primaries
the honesty of the candidate and the convection
of that honesty in the mind of the voter
Tired of the prostitution Of public office Tor
private gain" as H. J. Haynsworth put it before
the Greenville County Democratic convention Mon
day, the concensus is that voters will go to the
polls in greater numbers to cast more discriminate
ing ballots than ever before.
Two factors have contributed to this sentiment.
One is the intense interest generated in recent
weeks in all things polite. The other is the charge
of the existence in the state of organized graft and
corruption
The public wants honest men with firm convlc-
tions who will regard their office as one Of public
trust and honor, to be violated under no circum-
stances. 1t wants men and women who will con-
tribute to good government, instead of petty poll
ticians "on the make"
Every candidate will be thoroughly scrutinlzed
for these qualities The convention indicated this
when it enthusiastically backed every statement OF
action for the elimination of graft and the further
ance of good government.
Many good men who are now in office will be re-
turned but it is just as certain that voters want
some changes and will get them-Greenville Pied

THEY ARE SMASHING" 1T

The strong sentiment for amendment OF Rule 81
evidenced in many counties of the state in the re-
cent conventions moves the Charleston News and
Courier to remark that this primary voting pledge
to support the national nominees Is already
smashed"
And we think it is true that it is smashed IN
the minds of numerous citizens who are making
their determination to maintain their independence
in the national election of 1910 even though it
costs them an abandonment of their rights to par
ticipate in the choice of local and state officers
The phase of the situation is something that the
state Democratic party authorities need to consider
carefully. In South Carolina the Democratic prl-
mary is "the election" for all state and local Of
fees. 1t is important to the welfare of South Car
DINA that the white citizenship of this state par
ticipate fully in the primary for the selection OF
state and local officers. But an increasing num-
Der of South Carolinans are becoming resenttuI
of the fact that participate in the choice OF state
and local officers they must bind themselves TO
support of national ticket of which they may not
approve.
If this condition is not relaxed We are gong TO
see an increasing number of South Carolina cltl-
zens refuse to participate in the Democratic prl-
mary in order to be free to vote as they like IN the
national election There can be no question that
this would be unwholesome for the state-Green-

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON
BY RODNEY BUTCHER.

pUDOLPH FORSTER, White
IL House executive clerk who was
invited along by President Roose-
welt on his deep sea fishing cruise,
has been enjoying one of his few
vacations in more than 40 years
of service under eight presidents.
81 know of no public servant Of
whom there is so universal ad-
miration," Herbert Hoover once
wrote. And Reed College at Port
land, Ore, awarded Forster an
honorary degree with the COM
ment, 1.-THE value of mans SER
vice to his country is not always
measured by popular acclaim nor
by. repeated mention in the press"
A quiet, slender, beSpectacled
widower in his middle sixties,
Forster has charge of the Presi-
dents files, the room through
which the chief executives CORE
spondence clears and the White
House messenger service, disburs-
ing department, telegraph and tel
ephone systems. While the Pres
ident is in his Office on the execu-
tive wing, Forster never leaves
his own adjoining Office. He is
there nearly all the time, usually,
even when the President is out of
town. All sorts of people consult
him about an endless variety of
problems related to White House
procedure.
Each day Forster walks to his
lob from the Wardman Park Ho-
tel more than two miles away. His
longest vacation was on the trip
he took with Roosevelt to the Ha-
waiian Islands in 1884. He en-
tered White House service rs a

seneers. Today it includes lot.

CIYILLIBERTIES

Not one Communist is now in Jail in the United
States for political activity, the American Civil
Liberties Union points out with pride
Yet as The Times of Chester, Pennsylvania, re-
minds, "these very Communists among us who now
boastingly enjoy their freedom of uterance would
not enjoy that freedom if the goal for which they
working - Communistc American govern
ment - is ever reached.
1t is something to ponder.
Freedom we have and freedom we earnestly
hope we shall have always, but between freedom
and license there is wide gulf.
No man, Communist or otherwise, should have
license to encourage the overthrow by force of this
government. That is the ultimate aim, whether its
adherents admit it or not, of Communism And of

eyes. Cars were fastened tOgeth-
er with couplings secured by pins.
The coupling of cars was a stunt:
A man stood between the cars as
they came together; with one hand
he guided into place the free end
of the coupling, while with the
other hand he held up the cou-
ping pin. He had to do three
things all at once with perfect
precision-he had to let loose
both the coupling and the pin and
jump back. If he released the cou-
ping too soon it would not go in
to place; if he held on too long
he would have his hand smashed;
if he dropped the pin too soon it
would not catch the coupling; and
if he did not jump back quickly
enough he would be crushed be-
tween the cars. Many railroaders
were killed and many had but one
hand. The platforms of the coach
es were unprotected, and fire.
quently a passenger going from
one coach to another while the
train was in motion fell between
the cars or was thrown from the
platform. And as for schedules,
trains left when they left and
arrived when they arrived. Dirt,
smoke and cinders were accepted
as necessary evils; and part of the
travellers outfit was a long linen
buster which covered him from
head to foot. Sleepers were more
the exception than the rule. And
as for food en- roulette less said
about that disagreeable subject
the better; the diner was un-

tions with the luxurious travel of

mensa, which was covered by the
Armenian wooden altar under the
central apse at the aest end Of the

The altar stands out from the
semi-circu!ar wall of the apsc
like an Eastern altar and has in
front Il recess surmounted by q

The mensa has innumerabic
small Crusader crosses carved ON
the sides by pilgrims and Arme-

altar is almost 7 feet high, 40

UNCLE SAM is JOHN SMITH
by BRUCE CATION

Ii is the business of Harry l.. Hopkins,
WPA administrator, to pass money out
rather than take it in. He does receive
some money once in a while, however, and
II is doubtful that he ever got more sig
.uiticant check than the one he received
recently from Fred Hohner.
Fred Hohner is an unemployed mechanic
living in Newark, N. J. In 1885 he got
some help from the WPA. Since then he
has not needed any help; but he never
could forget that he had had help when he
needed it, and so the other day he set out
to square the account
He had SIP at the time-and no job.
But he went down to the post office and
bought money order for 500, and then
mailed it to Hopkins.
My money was getting so low that if
hadn't paid it when did might have had
mo money to pay" he explained. 1.-THE
government did its best for me, and |
wanted to do my best to the government"
The obvious comment on all of this, of
course, is that it is pity that more people
don't have the same kind of conscience
that Fred Hohner has. Millions upon mil
lions Of people have been helped by the
government in the last FIVE or six years !;
only few have remembered to pay the
government after they got on their own
feet again.
That doesn't mean that most people are
ungrateful. 1t simply means that very few
of us ever realize just what this govern
ment of ours really is.
1t isn't thing which exists of itself, an
independent entity which floats cloudily
in the sky over Washington and showers
down blessings every so often. In reality
it is nothing more or less than the instru-
ment through which all of US act. 1t is our
selves, in short-John Smith and his fell
low citizens.
So when "the government" does some
thing for man-provides job for him,
pays his rent, balls out his business, or
whatever-what is actually happening is
that that mans fellow citizens are coming
to his rescue. He isn't being aided by a
benevolent old gentleman with chin whis-
kers, known as Uncle Sam, or Santa Claus;
ne is being aided by his own countrymen,
and all Of them, in one degree or another,
are paying the bill
Perhaps people like Fred Hohner recog-
nize that fact If so, it is little easier to
see why they insist on repaying what they
have received. They aren't repaying a
mythical Uncle Sam; they are repaying
their own fellows, precisely as they would
ii they had borrowed from the next-door
neighbour.
We would have a much clearer perspec-
tive on all of the activities of our govern
ment, and of our own obligations toward
1t, if We shared in that recognition of its
true essence.
