President on Wrong Track
In Lorabasting Georgia

When Mr.. Roosevelt was giving
the people of Georgia tongue-lash-
ing, therefore, believe he was on
the wrong track. He was lambast-
ing them for continuing to run their
affairs on a sound basis. for con-
tinuing to avoid subservience to the
national government, and for refus-
ing to surrender completely the
rights Of sovereign state. For, be
it known, there are very few easier
ways to force a state or county or
city or other subdivision of govern
ment to become "bossed" by the

Can Washington Horn in
On a States Policies?

There is yet another element in
volved in the situation precipitated
by Mr.. Roosevelt's Warm Springs
statement. It involves the question,
directly, whether state shall de-
termine its own policies or have
them dictated from Washington.
Only few days ago, the depart
ment of labor disclosed that it was
trying to persuade all of the states
to pass legislation exactly like the
federal law governing wages and
hours of workers. The departments
bureaucrats have drafted a model"
law which they are trying eagerly to
get the states to adopt, SO that bust
ness within state will be subjected
to the same provisions as business
operating across state lines. That
same course was pursued when MIRA
was young and before it was discov
cred that the blue eagle had more
feathers in one wing than it had in
the other.
These things are dangerous. Once
such tactics are successful, they are
followed by demands and commands
of broader scope.

If Mr.. jackson is appointed, Mr..
Farley will interpret the move as a
build-up leading to Mr.. Jackson's
presidential nomination in 1910. He
will place the same Interpretation
on any efforts to win Mr.. Hopkins
q cabinet post.
Mr.. Farley, casting about for a
1910 possibility, is reported to- look
favorably on Secretary of State Cor
dell Hull, the only cabinet member
who has refrained from casting his
lot with any factional element within
the Democratic party. Mr.. Roose-
velt's choice apparently lies between
running for a third term or endors-
ing some middle-grounder like Sec
rotary Hull.
Evidence is already piling up tes-
tifying to the political expediency of
this middle road position. Republic
cans, who will at last make them
selves heard in congress next
month, are inclined to assume such
an attitude rather than fight for a
return to the traditional G. o. P.
conservatism. In the senate, where
Republicans now have % members,
they need the support of only 26
Democrats, Farmer-Laborites, Pro-
gressives or Independents to hold q
majority.
By catering to the middle ground
idea, the President can possibly
forestall the rising tide Of Republi-
can strength which is being built on
this very platform. He can also
avert revolt in Democratic ranks,
which otherwise will almost certain
ly rise to the surface during next
congress. A meeting of Republican
and Democratic minds is already
evident on curtailment Of govern
mental expenditures and new pol
icy for administering relief.

Republican minority leader, has an

SOLDIERS CLING
TO UMBRELLAS
OBy Associated Press

SHANGHAI, China, jan 20
Modernization of China's armies
has not yet reached the stage
where it has been possible to
abolish the umbrella in favor of
the raincoat as a part of the Chi
neSe soldiers pack equipment.
The raincoat, in the mind Of
the Chinese private in Chang
Keishek's regiments, is a useless
article because it doesn't keep the
head dry. As a result of this atti-
tude, all efforts on the part of
the military authorities at Nan
king TO induce the soldier to give
up mis- umbrella for rubberized
top-coats have proven futile.
Another Chinese argument In
favor OF the umbrella as an item
of military importance is that it
forms an ideal medium of camou-
flage. More than four feet in di-
ameter, it gives protection to al
most the entire body Of soldier
curled up beneath it. Covered
with straw or branches of trees,
il is difficult for the enemy to de-
tect, even with field-glasseS.

PEACE AT ANY
REASONABLE PRICE
Or IA-s. E Fogz

Despite all opposition thrown
against IT by Administration fore
es, the Ludlow resolution for war
only by a vote Of the American
people showed remark bic
strength in the House. The main
objective Of the bill was to pre-
vent Congress and the President
any Congress and any Presi-
dent-from taking hasty action in
precipitately dragging this eoun-
try into foreign war. I88 House
members voted FOR, with 200
voting AGAINST It.
Let US examine the surprisingly
heavy vote for this allegedIy ex-
IRENE measure in the light of the
following historical facts. At no
time in the life Of our country has
any President rushed the Nation
into a foreign war. nor has Con-
gress at any time voted a declara-
ton Of war until after the pub
lie demand for war had drowned
out every opposing voice, and
there remained no other way for
appeasing the people; that Presi-
dents William Mckinley and
Woodrow Wilson, respectively,
Stunned war almost to the point
of sacrificing personal prestige,
and Il was freely charged of both
that they could not be kicked
into war: fhat President Roose-
welt and Secretary Hull have con-
sisfentiy and Enthusiastically indi-
Gated their determination for
keeping the country at peace. It
might be correctly stated, too,
that no President and no Congress
could drag US into a war against
public sentiment-that simply
cannot be done in this country.
In the light of all this the near
approach to a majority vote in
Congress for the so-called radical
Ludlow war referendum amend
ment is significant.
The result indicates a very
healthy trend toward peace at
any reasonable price. It further
indicates that to Congress it is no
longer sufficient for one man

keep Us out of war. II is not

CIVIL WAR RESUMED

The vocal boys IN Congress are
making good in the Capital City
but only in the direction of eco
noHic destruction through poIit-
zeal cussedness. This challenge
includes members of both par
ties, but not all the Democrats
nor all the Republicans fall into
that category. We IAN still be
thankful for those who are states
men. Some members Of the House
and Senate have gone not only
vocal, but sectional and infantiIe
to the point Of imbecility. If we
paid much attention to some of
their carvings on we could very
well believe ourselves living In
the 1905. The late special ses-
sion was wasted IN making pro-
tracted political rumpus, and the
same hoot-nanny technique now
threatens TO hamshackle the 1893
session.
Elected as servants Of the peo-
pie, our national lawmakers are
supposed to act like adults-but
they do not, all-and not make
of themselves Exhibits A in
sinnian roles of political buffoon-
cry and half-baked lunacy-but
some do. With the country facing
vital issues of men and destiny
and food, with President ROose-
velt urging Congressman to do
something and they do il not, the
demagOgic splutterings Of the po-
litical simpleton falls nothing
short of treason.
President Roosevelt should not
presume TO dictate to Congress
its policy, but Congress can CO.
operate. and cooperation might
lead the way out. Instead they
persist in fighting the Civil War
anew. while the guns of depres-
sion thunder louder in our souls
than all the cannonade of Fort
Sumter or Gettysburg. Right now
some Members of Congress seem
TO be engaged in fighting the bat
tie of Bull Run all over again
except in the interest Of brevity,
or TO render it more fittingiy de-
scriptive, they have omitted Run
from the battles title.
II they must fe-enact the Civil
War let them dig out the battered
muskets and obsolete side arms
of threescore and fifteen years
ago, align their forces along op-
posite shores of the Potomac and
fight it out-so the whole coun-
try may benefit in proportion to
the number of direct hits scored
by both sides.

MCKEE JUNGLE GARDENS

BY LOUISE MAY.
Miami. Fla.

rare, exotic and fascinating plants,

This fertile spot is situated Just

carved out of the very jungle it
self. Twenty-Five thousand miles
of travel would be necessary to
see all the rare plants which
can here be seen in an hour,
the doctor went on to say.
And IT may be added that he
made a special trip from New
