FAMILY TREES ARE
PLEASANT ORNAMENTS

More young people are looking up
their ancestors these days comments
a recent article on genealogy-the musty
business of tracing family trees.
1t would be interesting To find how
many of the young people amount to
something in their own right.
1t is interesting to know what our
ancestors did. and sometimes embar-
RAISING Now and then those dead-and-
gone doings of our earlier family mem
bers provide interesting conversational
interludes, and often they may be
source of secret pride. The pride Is
justified and commendable-if it helps
spur us to achievement Of our own. If it
doesn't-if we feel somehow or other
that our own existence is justified by
something remote, bewhiskered old
gentleman did in 1854 or thereabouts,
then there can be nothing more sicken-
ingly uniustified than pride in a family
tree.
Most of US know somebody or other
With a general or a president or a IA
NOUS sea captain hanging (figuratively
of course) from a tall branch of the
family tree but whose only personal
claim to notice is the fact that they did
have an ancestor. And whenever such
persons begin their long discussion of
the details of their own particular gene
alogy, most of us feel like shouting,
swell, what of it? Everybody's got an
cestors."
On the other hand, there are those
who have every right to pride in their
forebears, because the existence of ia
nous ancestors has been one spur that
prodded them on to greater success and
accomplishment in their own right.
Ancestors, as the boy down the block
might say, are all right. but they don't
help your credit at the store. A success
full man might justify his ancestors, but
no amount of ancestors can Justify
personal failure.

A MENACE TO
PEACE OF MlND

If ever there was an institution that
needs strict governmental control, it is
the institution of travelling loudspeaker
systems that blares forth any sort of
message, or all sorts of messages, at any
hour of the day or night.
Anyone awakened from a sound sleep
by one of the things in the evening would
not need much convincing that they
should be barred from the streets alto
gether.
Whatever their purpose, it is doubtful
if these travelling mOnologues attain 1t.
BY the time they have gotten across
with their message, the hearer usually
is so aggravated that his reaction is eX-
actly opposite to that SOUGHT by the
persons responsible.
If the sound machines on wheels are
to be permitted, it is only the part OF
decency for the driver and anyone else
responsible to see that their activities
cease at reasonable hour in the eve
ming.

PUMPS AND PURCHASING
POWER

(Christian Science Monitor)
One elemental thing to remember
about recovery by pump-priming: All
the water has to come out of one we'll
production. Purchasing power ultl-
mately is derived from goods and serv-
ices produced. There is no other source,
and those who think money is pulled out
of the air by congressional approprla-
tions for pump-priming are due for as
rude shock as those who think it can
be made on printing presses. In the
end, goods and services must be paid for
with goods and services.
Purchasing power is not created by
pump-priming. The priming is water
taken from the same well-the national
income of wealth produced and utilized.
The printing may induce freer flow of
production. If the pump of private en-
terprise is in good working order, it
should. If not, only few buckets of
retail-trade buying power will be skim
med from the surface The pump will
reach down and bring up steady flow
of private investment only when the
pump is fabricated with confidence.
1t is important to center on increasing
the national income in terms of actual
production The fact that the printing
must also come from that source is not
necessarily an argument against prim-
ing.

Then he got what most men get
at some period in a discouraging

that would, in a little while, cause
his reputation to go flaring and

the armament Of fame.
He couldn't command the respect

years he would command the most

Ulysses S. Grant was in the years
before the Civil War. 1t is con-
cerned only with what Grant did
during that war. Every day people
flock to his tomb on the banks OF

pay tribute to a man who lifted
himself out of the realm Of scorn
and criticism, and twice became
President Of the United States. All
because he devoted himself to the

Modern Romany

If one may judge from the Ma

hibiton, which was held recently

A PARDON FOR
DR.. TOWNSEND

(ChriStian Science MOnltor)
Ordinary human kindness was at the
same time good politics in the executive
pardon issued TO Dr., Francis E. Town
send, leader of the old-age pension move
ment that bears his name, just as he was
about to enter the District of Columbia
Jail to serve thirty-day sentence for
contempt of an Investigating commit
tee of the House of Representatives.
BY this act President Roosevelt and the
legislative leaders who recommended
clemency have wisely avoided Situa-
tion that could have been exploited as
martyrdom.
Congress cannot afford d precedent OF
a witness boiling from committee room
in Indignation merely because the COM
mittee is unfriendly to him, but the rights
and dignity of investigating committees
have been vindicated by the conviction.
To insist upon the sentence would have
been to risk reviving an agitation which
in its more extreme aspects was prob
ably attributable not so much to DR..
Townsend himself as to promoters who
attached themselves to his movement.
The pardon is an illustration of the
fact that the United States does not in
cline to the holding of political prison
ers. And that is a tribute to the eXls-
tence and the power of free speech; for
only where free speech exists would the
sympathy elected by Imprisonment OF
a leader be political weapon IN the
hands of his followers.

TOO MANY SIGNS
PaIO Alto IlmeS)

In Illinois the highway engineers have
decided there are too many roadside
signs, and declare that their multiplicity
is causing motorists to disregard them al
together.
We do not know intimately the high
way situation in that state. But there
is that tendency on roadsides generally.
In our own state it has been noted at
times, particularly in places where there
would be the simultaneous and conflict
ing announcements recorded that the
speed limit there was two different fig
ures.
And. of course, there are always those
urlv. obtrusive and otherwise undesir-
able billboards encroaching further onto
the attentiveness of the driver.
