nnGS Ann CHILnRRN

In some cities it is easier to find
good homes for dogs than for chill
dren. according to statements made
before the national conference on
family relations at Washington.
Some landlords in many cities are
reluctant to rent their nice apart
ments to families having children.
Presumably the dog would not be
considered an equal objection.
II the dog is preferred to the
child. 1t is probably because the dog
does not mark UP the wallpaper
with HIS lead pencils, or dent the
floor with nail studded heels, etc. II
children damage apartments with
their rough play, the parents may
have to put up with less pleasing
quarters. Perhaps a good sensible
talk to the youngsters about the
need of taking care of the property
they occupy would help.

THE FALLING OF THE LEAVES

When the leaves drop from the
trees, some poetic people feel sad
and sorrowful, and say it is a sign
of death, and the end of things. The
householder is apt to feel sad for a
different reason, which is that he has
to get out and rake up those leaves.
Some think they solve the problem
by waiting until the wind blows the
leaves over to the next lot. a solu-
ton which the neighbor may not
heartily approve.
Anyway. the trees are dropping
their leaves because the yare worn
out and the trees need a period of
rest. After they have their winter
sleep, they will blossom out again
with a new crop of greenery more
glorious than ever.

DISTRIBUTION OF PROSPERITY

Problems of retail trade and dis
tribution of merchandise and pros
perity were discussed as an interna-
tional conference on distribution,
held at Boston a few days ago. 1t
was brought out that the United
States produces one half of all the
manufactured products Of the world.
We have something like six per cent
of the worlds population, and we
produce so per cent of the worlds
manufactured stuff. It is a better
country to live in than some folks
think.
Many people fail to get their fair
share Of those products. In many
cases OF unemployment, the reason
is that such folks can't get a chance
to help produce. The country needs
business system under which it
will be easier to operate shops and
factories more regularly.

THE American people didn't built
up this country by sitting down and
waiting for everything to come to
them. They got busy and made
things come. The business man fol-
lows in their footsteps when he adj
vertises and induces trade to come.

TOO BAD, OKLAHOMA

Oklahoma, for a time at least, must do without the S125, ,000,- GOO it's officials asked the treasury to turn over to it as result of in- ability to tax Indian lands. The legislation which did not pass eX- plained this amount would have been collected in taxes in the years since opening of the territory to settlers, if it had been legal to tax tribal properties.
 At this point it is only fair to ex- plain on behalf of Senator Ashurst that he is not against all these things. It is just his belief that the country would rather dodge most legislation even though any indi- videial citizen, when confronted with a particular piece, as likely as not would vote for it in the be- lief it was for the public veal. People are just like congressman.
 We have not added up , the amount of money the country will not have to raise as a result of the legislation which did not pass. But the amount of change the country will have to raise as result of legislation the 18th Congress did pass is upwards of a$20,O00, GOO GOO, more than two thirds of which is yet to be gathered in. And that is right smart folding money

Ldps Congress Didn't Pass
 fl Laid End to End WOuId--.
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, July 6, - This past Congress may go into history for the things it might have done and didn't instead of the things it did, and on that subject we can quote you something by Senator Ashurst of Arizona which is apro- pos.
 At practically any time of the day or night Senator Ashurt can iay something apropos of almost anything.
 When we approched him with a suggestion that he outline some of the major things the Congress left undone he grinned wisely and said:
 "The country is always grateful for the legislation Congress does not enact"

INCH STILL S-sTHs

Well. the country, on that basis, has much about which to be grate- full It did not pass law to shorten the inch, although certain learned persons urged Congress to cut 1t down by about one ten-thousandth of the width of pin. It wouldn't have made any difference in the purchase of a yard of cloth but it would have run to something near 35 feet in measuring the distance across the United States
 5 Anti lynching legislation went by the boards and so did the pro- posal to build a ship-cahal across the Florida peninsula and to har- ness the Passamaquoddy tides. These things are not dead of course. They only sleepeth, and will rise again, come next Congress.

NO "OUTSIDE SOURCE"

In addressing Kentucky audience, President
to you that am not interfering in any shape, man
ner or form in the primary campaign In Kentucky
You have the absolute right to vote for any
candidate in accordance with the dictates Of your
conscience"
But then the President went on to throw the
whole influence of his personal prestige and the
office which he holds in behalf of the election of
Senator Barley No interference" of course!
What will strike the attention of most citizens
very forcbly, however is the Presidents added
comment that mo outside ought to drag on
you" That can hardly fail to impress most citizens
as running rather close to outright hypocrisy. For
why should the President of the United States, with
all the great prestige and influence of his office,
come to Kentucky with the clearly understood pur-
pose of exerting that prestige and influence in be-
half of given candidate and at the same time tell
the people Of Kentucky that "outside source
ought to drag on you?" Why should an "outside
source" come to Kentucky and seek to drag on
its citizens and concidentally tell them that it
should not be done?
We think the country would have a greater re-
spect for Mr.. Roosevelt and for his sincerity on
that occasion if he had said very frankly that he
was there to urge the election of Senator Barley
and had made no attempt to cover" his purpose
with words which even the most simple minded
could see thrOugh.-Greenville News.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
THAT THIRD TERM

John N ("Cactus Jack'O Garner may or may
not have told his senatorial friends is rumored.
that he does not intend to be candidate for a
third term as Vice-President of the United States.
But in any event Senator NJ NJ. Logan of Ken
lucky has given the apparently desired turn to the
report by expressing his opinion that neither Mr..
Garner nor President Roosevelt will be candidate
for reelection to his present office in 1910, but
that Mr. Garner would be "hard to beat" as can
didate for President then.
The whole discussion serves at least to focus
attention on the question whether Mr. Roosevelt
will attempt to break the precedent against third
term as Chief Executive. Assuming the President
still thinks of turning over his office to successor
in January, 1941, as he indicated year or more
ago. it is not unnatural for the electorate to be-
gin looking around for that successor. In one sense
1910 will symbolic a third term" whether the
Mr. Roosevelt or not. 1t will be the third term
since the change from involuntary TO voluntary
deficits in 1888.
In that connection Gov. Herbert II. Lehman of
New York State has just made an interesting an
nouncement He says the State Of New York now
has balanced its budget for the first time since
1880 and cleaned up the deficit Of nearly $780,
600 900 left to his administration after Franklin
D. Roosevelt finished his term governor of New
York Whoever the successful candidate for Presi-
dent of the United States may be in 1910, he will
need to be in essence Herbert Lehman-Chrs-

THEY DON'T HAVE TO STAY ON WPA

Striking WPA workers in Charlotte Wednesday
were given to understand, in no uncertain terms,
that they must "give an honest days work for an
honest days pay"
This is worthy of note because, up to now, IN
this part of the country at least, the WPA worker
who had any notion that he was expected to rem
der to Uncle Sam the same kind of service that
he would render to private business OF industry
was the exception.
The lazy, indolent manner in which WPA work
ers as rule performed their duties brought the
relief system and the government itself into dis
repute Jokes about WPA workers have been the
street corner conversation foundation for long
time Even those who are living Uncle Sans
bounty are heard to refer to their payments as
rocking chair money" 1t has been national
scandal.
So it is intensely refreshing to find one foreman
who is honest and conscientious enough to demand
that those who work under him and draw pay from
the public treasury must render the same kind Of
service they would give him if employed on reg
ular private job More hearening still is the fact
that when the strikers took their grievance to the
WPA headquarters in Charlotte, they were told
they'd have to work as the foreman said or get off
relief.-Gastonia Gazette.

Except Ye Become Children, Ge
Cannot Enter the Kingdom
Of Heaven"

How simple, yet how stern, these
words
The Christ Himself did say,
And yet, alas! a brazen world
Just laughs its power away.
Become as little children" ch?
Sweet, innocent and mild,
And show the traits so prominent
In every normal child:
No pride, no spite, a perfert trust
In both it's parents love-
A picture Of the Trusting Saint
Now serving God above.
"No, not for me-" the wording
says,
"Such teaching is too meek,
For / intend to take by FORCE
Just everything | seek"
And, strange to say, these brazen
folks
Just seem to have their way,
But-sure as God Himself now
lives
There'll come u reckoning day;
When force is crushed and LOVE
SUPREME
Shall shine in all its worth,
And the, very words of Christ
fulfilled
"The Meek does reign on
Earth"
