BY T. MOSES JONES

And in writing this for December 1,
had to go way back in the back Of
my memory and recite this much of
those lines:
2 Thirty days hath September,
April, June, and November
to find out which day of the week
November ended and December com.
menced. And soon every one will b.
singing, Jingle bells, Jingle hells!"
and many of those other beautiful
Christmas songs, carols, and so forth.
AS I haven't been over to Henderson
IN week or SO, I do not know what
IS going on over there in the line of
Christmas decorations. But our city
started this Tuesday to putting up
their Christmas trees. Personally,
I think it is slightly rushing the sea-
son, and by the time to really start
decorating, folks will have almost be-
come tired Of looking at them.
But am just another one of those
old-time, old-fogies, and it really
doesn't make much matter. But re-
ally do think if the trees were put up
about December 10, folks would have
a plenty of time to enjoy them for the
fifteen days from then until Christ
mas, and from Christmas until the
New Year, another five days.
A fellow told me yesterday that
there was regular epidermlc (proof

terday that folks were bringing in FOR
sale. It reminded me of some twenty
years ago when 1 was working IN the
grocery store, and one of the CUSTOM
ers brought in some hog bones to sell
the store for resale. And please let
me state that those bones had been
literally picked, and deserved the
name only of "bones," as there WAS
no meat adjoining them.
And here is another wedding to tell
about. Last Saturday Walter Phillips
went and came to town., and what do
you reckon he did? He is a brother
of Sam Phillips, and he got Sam and
some others to go around to @. Il.

and got him some marriage licenses

I just can't help from worrying
about Sylvester Johnson and his two

They live way out yonder beyond

do is to keep wood to put on the fire.
Being three young bachelors, they do
not have to mind any one but each

PURSE STRINGS
FOR CONGRESS

(Christian Science Monitor)
When an English king first found
that instead of levying tribute it was
expedient to let representatives of the
people say how much they would freely
offer to carry on his government, rep
resentative democracy got its start Par
liamentary self-government took another
step when the people further demanded
the right TO say how the money should
be spent The strongest pillar of Ameri-
can congressional independence is this
same power of the purse.
During the last five years that power
has been surrendered in all the vast
spending for relief. Lump-sum appropri-
ations have been made and the ALLEGATION
left to the Executive. In one sense the
power of the purse has been in reverse;
congressman seeking expenditures in
their districts have been in position
where they could be rewarded or penal
lied by the President Grants of money
by the Executive might be used to influ
ence legislative action instead of the
vice versa.
Efforts to change this system to one OF
ALLEGATION through a non-partisan COM
mittee on the basis of statistical need
have hitherto failed. But now Senator
Byrnes of South Carolina, one of the
most important Administration sup
porters in the Senate, has come out pub
licly against lump-sum appropriations.
And WPA Administrator Hopkins, after
talking with Mr.. Byrnes, says new sys-
TEN can be arranged. This might we'll
be the first business of Congress. Regain
ing the power of the purse is the surest
step toward congressional independence.

WANDERING BOYS
FROM BROKEN HOMES

Two BOYS who should have been at
home collecting stamps dreaming of
athletic triumphs or bumming dad for
enough TO go TO the show were arrested
on an Imperial county highway last
week and today are held in the county
jail pending action by juvenile court.
At a time when the universal love
that makes Christmas the glorious holi-
day it is YIELDS most families more close
ly together in bonds of common inter
est, these two waits must answer TO
charges that they stole an automobile
and beside them there will be none to
help bear the burden of a terrifying
experience.
They must face the world alone-be-
cause their mothers and fathers III a
frenzied search for false happiness have
divorced and married and divorced again
since these youngsters were born, and
have all but forgotten the boys in a
foolish search for the very thing they
themselves threw away.
Two broken homes have thrown two
boys into the world alone and without
guidance-and they have started on the
road to manhood as potential criminals.
Juvenile authorities can advise them,
courts can correct them; but if this does
no good, the blame rests not Oh juvenile
authorities nor courts. 1t rests squarely
on the shoulders of the parents who
shirked their responsibilities.
We cannot assume such omnipotence
as to say that these parents should have
STAYED together, regardless of their trou-
bles. That might have been worse for
the children than separation. But we
can say that they should, regardless OF
the bitterness they might feel toward
one another. have provided for the care
and upbringing of their children.
MANY children of couples divorced or
separated are happy, straight thinking
Young men and women, but in almost
every instance it is because their parents,
though no longer happy together, have
had the good sense to see that their own
troubles did not blacken the lives of the
children for whom they were responsible.
1t is no idle statement that solution of
the juvenile problem rests in the home,
to be worked out between mother and
father.
If every couple sought consciously to
develop common interests, to overlook
small faults and to build happiness
where it is easiest to build, instead of
running off after will-o -the-wisp OF
excitement. there would be less such de-
linquency among boys and girls.
Failing that, if tolerance replaced bit
ter hatred in cases of incompatlbility, II
friendship were allowed to remain where
love has died, if good sense were brought
to bear in management of family affairs,
the children would at least get a fair
break.
In bringing children into the world,
parents accept a responsibility. 1t Is a
pity so few of them realize 1t.

STILL NO PROVISION
FOR SENSIBLE FINANCING

The Social Security Advisory Council
this week made several recommendations
for changes in the laws governing un-
employment and old-age insurance, but
none of them provided for a sensible
method of handling the huge amounts
collected in social security taxes. Con-
gress, we hope, will do better.
This money, amounting to millions of
dollars, is spent as fast as it comes III
under the present system with the gov
ernment giving itself what amounts to

pay off after 1912
we must realize, as government,
that we can't spend the same money
