DR.. Dawson said the generals kid

The physician, who with Lieutenant

The report was a direct reversal of

the wisest one for United States policy in
Mexico.
No stern measures of retribution would
have been effective either before or after
the appropriation. for they would only have
precipitated the entrance Of the European
nations into American markets and would
have aroused an antagonism which has,
fortunately, been avoided during the nerv-

It is obvious, however. that the continued

Laughter Causes Man Cut,
But Barber Is Absolved

SIMIA, Understanding q cash on the
chin while local barber near here was
shaving him, a prominent merchant sued
the tonsorial artist for about $3.50 damages
In his defense the barber told the court
that he had told his customer a story so
full Of humor that his patron rocked with
laughter and got cut.
The judge held that the barber had
merely exercised his time -honored right
to narrate witty stories and jokes to his
patrons to soften the rigor of being shaved.
The blame. therefore, was not upon the
barber but upon the merchant who could
not restrain his laughter.

THE ARMY OF TAXEATERS

The figures of wages and salaries paid to public

have been compiled by the Civil Service Assembly.
They come to the appalling total of $5,145S73,Ooo
not including the persons on work relief.
That figures out to $50 for each American fam
lily of four persons.
That figure does not sound good to thoughtfui

payroll is met come out of the pockets of ordinary
citizens 1t is substantially true that the smaller

Maybe it is all matter of good will. We have

they made no such perilous flight as this 10000

CONGRESS- POWER

Timely reminder to the Congress of the United
States of its power and responsibility is contained
in letter to the New York Sun by James Emery
Brooks of Glen Rridge, New Jersey.
Mr.. Brooks pointedly says;
Congress is our hope.
Congress can abolish bureaus.
Congress can reject appointments,
Congress can repeal the Wagner Act.
Congress can remove a President
Congress alone appropriates money.
Congress can remove judge.
Congress controls federal taxes.
Congress seems to have forgotten that 1t is tar
more powerful than the man in the White House.
Congress will wake up and resume control OF
affairs in Washington the moment that the men
back home assure the members of congress that
they will be supported.
Tell them so now, by mail, telegraph, or in per-
son.
Advise the big men and the little men, who go to
Washington, to go direct to the capitol and confer
with the senators and representatives. They will be
received by willing and ready to take over the
affairs of this country, and to accept constructive
advice and expression of confdence.-Greenville
