CHARACTER CRISIS

Senator Arthur Fl. Vandenberg's recent state
ment in a college commencement address that;
eve are nearer to government by executive de-
cree and by bureaucracy than ever before in our
history is something to be pondered, seriously
and solemnly.
For Senator Vandenberg did not thus warn the
graduates of Union College in the effort to be
alarming.
And We do not think he believes we are actually
coming to that kind of government
But it is to be prevented only by keeping the
ship of state off the rocks which he sees looming
ahead of us.
These rocks are what he sees when he says:
Representative democracy is threatened by drift
toward the concentration of central power in ex-
ecutive hands,"
That this is drift and that is very real dan
ger, every true Democrat cannot fail to realize
Every step along that way makes it easier to take
the next one, and makes it harder to prevent the
next one from being taken in spite of ourselves
1t is the responsibility of the people to prevent
this from happening which Senator Vandenberg
emphasized when he described the situation which
confronts us as 'more than a crisis in government
or economies but above all else crisis IN chal
acter," and said eve cannot expect an automatlc
protection against the restless forces of
which have smashed democracy elsewhere among
enlightened people."-Reck Hill IS. c. Herald

WTASHINGTON--There won't be
w any more dream bills" offered
in Congress for long time.
President Roosevelt dreamed
that he looked out of a White
House window and saw a horrible
fiery crackup at the Washington
Airport, which admittedly is dan
gerous and otherwise unsatisfac-
tory. Promptly Mr.. Roosevelt en-
dorsed government purchase of
1000 acres for a $3,o00,OOO s'na-
tional airport" at nearby Camp
Springs, Md. With equal prompt
ness the purchase measure, al
ready recommended by special
congressional committee, wa S
dubbed the dream bill"
Unfortunately, it had failed to
appear to Roosevelt in that cele-
brated dream that slickers, who
included a government official, had
acquired options on the Camp
Springs land, that the government
was beng soaked four to seven
times the proper value for some of
IT; or that government agents had
demanded commissions of up to
10 per cent from landowners in
return for getting them exorbitant
prices.
But Congressman Byron Scott
and others charged these things
when the dream bill" reached the
House floor and was denounced as
miserable land grab" Members
kept exclaiming "Whewn" Scott
offered to prove the charges and
name names unless the House
dropped the bill. The bill was
dropped.

home city of Manchester about
10000 votes were cast and first
compilation of returns gave him
plurality of only Al votes for
nomination. His opponent de-
manded a recount. Roy gained 40
votes on the check. Seeking the
same job two years later, he at
first appeared to have won by 80
votes-but gained 81 by the re-
count which his opponent again
demanded. Each time his nomi-
nation was equivalent to election.
Roy, a short, alert, medium
sized, black-haired man of French
descent and less than middle age,
then aspired to Congress in 1886.
So did five other Democrats in his
district. First semi-official re-
turns gave an opponent 129 votes
over Roy. About $4,000 votes had
been cast in the contest and the
New Hampshire secretary of state
counted them over and found Roy
had won by exactly nine votes!
When the opponent obtained a re-
count this plurality rose 10 201;
Roy had won.
Came Nov ember, 1886, and Roy
found that 100000 votes had
been cast and that jerks was
ahead by $50. He felt that was
staggering defeat, but friends per-
suaded him to make contest.
Under the Republican secretary of
states recount Roy gained exactly
$50 ballots for an amazing tie of
81 500 votes with Jenks-frst such
tie vote in the history of Congress.
A state ballot law commission,
dominated by Republicans, then
went to work and found Roy had
won by II. Then someone brought
up those 81 missing votes from
Newton, N. H. The commission
reconsidered, gave Roy seven more
votes and jerks the 81, making
the latter a winner by 10. The
governor certified jerks election,
but after 18 months Of investiga-
ton Congress decided those "a
unfindable votes didn't count and
that Roy had won by "a.

MRS. LARSEN'S HOE is A BADGE
OF HONOR
fBy BRUCE CATION

PICTURES OF Cne glllIeTiuS OulSclo VI "'iiA
taristic countries show them always with
a sheathed stiletto dangling at belt They
are keen, sharp little instruments, and tor
some obscure reason much of the world
seems to consider them badges of honor.
Yet they are not much sharper than the
hoe with which Mrs. Ida Larsen may be
found any day, breaking clods in the nine
acre patch near Aurora, o., which yields
her living.
The hand that grips the dagger may be
wetl-manicured, and even perfumed, but
somehow we like better the rough, hard
hands that grip Mrs. Larsen's hoe. Better
than the glistening booth and climbing
spurs, we like the high leather shoes and
muddy trousers that tramp through the
Ohio strawberry patch.
Here are some of the reasons:
Mrs. Larsen, who is "a, grubs a good
living out of her nine acres. She saws her
own wood, shoots her own rabbits, puts
down her own meat, gets good living.
Anybody can grub Irving out of the
ground Anybody that's willing to work, }"
she says.
Well, perhaps not anybody. For not
everybody is like Mrs. Larsen. Listen:
In 1880 her husband was in the hospital.
While he lay there, cow kicked Mrs.
Larsen, broke her leg. Then her husband
, died, But Mrs. Larsen is made of stern
stuff.
She hired a couple of hands to work the
4, farm they were renting. Neither was skill
ed, and when seeding time came, the work
was stalled, Mrs. Larsen had herself lifted
q into the seeder every morning, her crutches
strapped beside her. At noon she came in
and fried ham and eggs and potatoes for
: the hands. She seeded 40 acres, did the
washing and scrubbing, and raised 300
chickens that year. .,-
; Now that" says Mrs. Larsen with a
certain fierce exultation, was really tough
that year. That was something to stand,
maybe ...
SO to Mrs, Larsen, regime that looks
tough today is not so tough to her
= I've been grubbing in the ground since
i was TO-" she says. Il can't see sitting
down and letting everything go to weeds.
This quarter-acre will bring me 200 bucks
next spring | got plenty. I've seen it a
lot worse"
& The rhythmic rise and fall of Mrs. Lar
sens sharp hoe will go on long after the
spurs have fallen apart and the daggers
rusted. For she has courage the battle
field does not know, let alone the parade
ground.

sturdy independence that millions can
pnever know in lands where life itself de-
I ponds on giving, the right salute. :, 49,. !.

next five years is 200 bushels to
the acre. Uh! You can hear the

such a goal. Mr.. White says there
are numerous farmers planting
bybrids of which he has no record
since local seed houses also fur

growers.

REVIVAL REEVES: The Rev.

fourth week tonight with his
evangelistic meeting geared in
high. Between $50 and 800 per-
sons were either saved or reclaim
ed last week. The big tent is
comfortably filled each night, de-
spite bad weather. The people
keep coming from far and near
and listen to him lambast sin with
real Louis Schmeling punches
over and over again. The people
seem to take it on the chin with
a smile and come back night after
night for more. A choir of about
100 voices are on the spot night
after night.
This meeting is really some
thing unusual for Henderson
county in the way of calling peo-
pie to repentance. Though the
meeting has been a great success,
Mr.. Smith expects a greater har-
vest during the next three weeks.
