THE FAST OF LENT

When the custom of observing the an
nual period of fasting known as Lent be
gan is not known with certainty, but it orig
mated early in the life of the church, prob
ably in the latter part of the second GEN.
fury after Christ.
In thepast the time of observance and
the numbers of days included in the Lenten
season have varied widely, and these mat
tiers were long the subject of serious contro-
versy among ecclesiastical authorities.
At first, it appears from the writings
of early fathers of the church, only one or
two days of fasting were prescribed. By
the fourth century, periods of three, six
and even seven weeks were observed in
various countries, with varying customs
with respect TO the continuity of the fast.
AS at present established, Lent is a
fast of forty days, not including Sundays.
beginning with Ash Wednesday and ending
the Saturday before Easter. This year Ash
Wednesday fell on March 2, and Easter
falls on April IL.
During Lent it is considered desirable
by the churches observing it that their
members abstain from food each fasting
day until evening" also that the ~ sO1 be
marked by fredhent ATTENDANCE at worship
ard increased diligence in works of CHAIR
ty.
Various degrees of strictness have pre-
vailed from time to time, and exceptions
have generally been made according to the
physical needs of individuals Indulgence
in worldly amusemeRts is considered un-
suitable to the Lenten season. which is OBJ
served throughout Christendom. particu-
larry by the Roman Catholic. Anglican and
Lutheran churches

RAILROADS, RATES AND FINANCES

The freight rate increased, granted
the railroads BIZ the Interstate Commerce
Commission, is no5 what the carriers want
ed. The rail executives agree that the in
creases are not sufficient to settle the finan-
cial problems that confront the roads.
There is another tside. The increased
rates may not bring in extra revenue.
Greater increases may have resulted in the
loss of business and consequently in a
shrinkage of revenue Motor vehicles get
help every time the freight rates go up. =
The basic trouble, Vic - the nation 5
railroads, however, seems to have been
touched by Senator Truman, of Missouri,
a member of the Senate committee that has
been investigating railroad financing. He
says the only cure is financial overhaul
ing Of the nations very sick rail transpOr-
tatioI. SYSTEM which has been the victim
of an Observation-Disclosures policy"
Senator Truman points out that the
airOads have rate structure and a
c. 5ification for the Northeastern section
of the country, an entirely different one
fOs he Southeastern States and when they
come to the Mississippi and Missouri riv-
ers they start all over and really tangle
things up on grand scale.
Basing his remarks on testimony
brought out before the committee the Mis-
souri, senator PARKS that certain ali IDS
are terrible examples of what cam pen
Ewhen the financiers manipulate hen in
the name of consolidation" However, with
SO, 500, O0O,0 of their bonds in the hands
of savings banks and insurance companies
and about 81 200, OOO,O 900 more in the
hands of the public the obligations can't
be wiped off the slate
We are sympathetic toward the rail-
roads in their present plight but not too
sure that basic stability can be gained
without drastic steps to establish them on
sount financial structures. This may mean
squeezing some water out of the stocks and
bonds but in the long run it might be the
best curse.

Appealing to citizens in every
state. as ne did szyear ago in the
Supreme Court 1ght. to voice
their immediate. fmubatic protest
to Congress, Frank E rGannett.
newspaper publisher and chair
man of the National Committee to
Uphold Constitutional Govern
ment, charges IN a statement re-
leased today that the pending Ex-
ecutive Reorganization Bill Is only
part of a series of dangerous die
tatorial measures Mr. Gannett
says it affronts the presidents in
telligence TO assume that he did
not plan it this way" to substi-
tute One-man rule for democratic
government.
Mr.. Gannett's statement in full
follows:
The nation faces a crisis The
time has come when the country
should clearly realize that the
President. aided and abetted by
his professional Brain Trust and
many of the key members of his
administration, IS deliberately
/ trying to abandOnaOur democratic
{ Institutions
Since the 1886 election, he has
had drafted, mostly by parties un-
known and unofficial, a series of
dictatorial bills which leave no
doubt as~tO his aims.
First came-the Court Bin by
which the President sought to
gain control of the Supreme
Court.
This was then followed by the
/ Blsck-Connery Bill designed to
give the President complete con-
troll over wages and hours in
every business concern in. the
country.
Next came the Farm Bill, plac-
/ ing in the Presidents hands.
through the Secretary OF Agr1cul-
ture, regimented control Of
American farming.
+ Then came the Executive Re
organization Bill, drafted not by
Congress but by three professors
chosen for the job by Mr.. Roose-
Welt. In conference with the
President they designed this bill
to give the Chief Executive abso-
lutte and permanent control Of all
administrative offices. the semi
F judicial agencies. commissions
and bureaus. the Independent
agencies created by and respon-
sible to Congress. the entire Civil
+ Service. the spending of phblic
funds. and power even 20 abolish
the office OF tfs Presidency or
to change its functions.

EXPOSES DANGERS In PENDING ..
EXECUTIVE REORGANIZATION BILL

With these bills enacted the
President would have controlled
every branch of the government
executive, legislative and judicial,
and. of course, he could have con-
trolled any election
This series is now followed By
the Administration War Bill,
known as the May Bill, giving the
President, after a declaration OF
war, alarming power over all citi-
zens and all property. There can
be no justification for enacting
this bill in peace time except to
pave the way for absolute dicta-
tOrship.
These bills, taken together
with the appropriation bills Civ
ing the President blanket power
over the expenditure of huge
sums Of money, form the pattern
and framework of a dictatorship
that win destroy the peoples con-
troll over their government. Grip
pie private enterprise, and imperil
our freedom
Every one of these bills has
been introduced to the public I'M
der a misleading caption and pro-
tected by barrage of deceptive
propaganda, much of which has
emanated from the White House
itself, intended to conceal the true
nature and purpose of these meas
ures.
What was Mr.. RoOsevelt's pur-
pose, if not TO make himself die
tator2
ANY intelligent man must un-
derstand the clear consequence
of his acts. Mr.. Roosevelt IS both
intelligent and crafty. OF course
Mr.. Roosevelt knew what his bills
would do, and that is why he had
them drafted and ordered then
passed. IT is Understanding hi:
intelligence to assume that he die
not plan it that way.
sThe Court Bill was beaten
after a mighty struggle Its de
feat is considered a politica
miracle. And historians viii re-
gard il as a major victory in tbs
struggle for democracy and lib.
erty.

organization Bill can be beaten

cneerln4 Wnen GOV. James v. AlreQ,
the youthful. genial chief executive Of
this State hung it on Mr.. Roosevelt
during q brief introductory speech At
Wichita Falls.
The President seemed to like It. too
Gov. Alfred, in his remarks from the
rear platform Of the Presidents special
campaign train, was saying how proud
Texas was to have had visits from
two Roosevelts-T. r., whom he re-
ferred to as Roosevelt the first, and
Franklin Roosevelt. not only Roose-
velt the second, but Roosevelt the
great"
Another wolf Hunt"
All this went over so we'll with the
crowd standing in blistering sun,
that he went on to tell how the first
Roosevelt came to Texas on q wolf
hunt. He did not make it clear Just
why the second Roosevelt had come
to Texas. but said something to the
effect that hes on a wolf hunt, too,
but hunting a different kind of
wolves"
One of the interesting features of
the campaign journey through Texas
was the frequency Of the Presidents
rear end platform speeches and the
presence aboard the special train of
more than half dozen Texas Repre-
sentatives, all facing a stiff fight in
the forthcoming primaries, and all
hoping and praying the Great White
Father and head of their party would
say something nice about them which
would help them in their respective
campaigns.
1t was humorous as well Is pathetic
to watch these worried hopefuls as
they sat back in the club car twirline
their thumbs or at times in the yarious
