But Garner kept his own coun.
ell and also his head. He refused
to be rubber stamp vice president,
had ideas of his own and, to the
proper persons at the proper time,
expressed them.
Today he is being spoken of as
our country's outstanding states
man. His superior is being spoken
of as our country's outstanding
politician.
PUMP-PRIMING TO BEGIN
The second pump-priming pro
gram will soon begin with the pass
age of the measure last week. There
| is no assurance that the new spend
ing program will do any good. 1t
is simply hoped that it will. Al
least the country will get one thing
of of tan increased deficit
which has grown from ballion in
crease in 1888 to eighteen billion
in 1897. When congress doesn't
know what else to do to serve the
country it spends more money.
High school test question: What
is the function of congress?" Answ-

and make investigations"
ANOTHER WEEK
This is Air Mail week. Some point
to it. Can't see much point to
cheese week, restaurant week, bis
cult week, bakers week, dog week,
cat week and most of the "weeks"
we are called on to celebrate.
This air mail business is all up
in the air. We should all feet at
home with the idea. It is operated
where most of the people are found
these days. The air mail program
was begun as an experiment and
at the time was thought impracti-
cal for general use. Today many
people send their mail no other
way 1t is a boon to lovers who are
separated by distance-he can hear
from her today and give her an
answer tomorrow otherwise a
week would be wasted in the lone
ly waiting.
Business transactions by mail are
speeded up and you can order that
coffee pot from the mail order
house and have it delivered almost
before you can find a place to park
your can in town to buy it from a
store
There is one week" that hasn't
been officially declared yet and
which would find popular approval
of all working people-and that
would be the observance of Eva.
cation Week"-It would give every
body a rest and a chance to breal;
/ away from old man Monotony.
ON GOING FlSHIN'
There has been quite a little said
recently about the young parson
up in Vermont who secured a
supply" for his pulpit on the first
Sunday of May and went fishing.
| The church board had a meeting
to decide whether the parson had
sinned, by setting a bad example
for his congregation. He was final
ly restored to the good graces OF
the congregation. We do not know
excatly what happened in the
church board meeting but we have
a suspicion that the brethren re
membered Jesus story about the
woman who sinned He told her ac
cusors: "He that is without sin cast
the first stone" They may have
remembered that altho they had
not Joined the Izaak Walton's they
hand shot the golf pill around a
title on Sunday.
The Rev. Larrowe isn't the first
religionist who ever threw up the
job and went fishing. Following the
bewildering sweep of events thai
occurred the week of the crucifiX
ion and resurrection, Peter stalkeC
out of the house with the statement:
81 go a fishing" He knew ther
what many a man, even soma
preachers, knows today, that the
best way to get some things straight
is to get away from them for a
spell. Many of us live too close tC
our jobs. Altho it may call forth
criticism for suggesting it, l am OF
