ASHIN ON.-The cam
w didates in Oklahoma who
tried hardest to out-promise the
others were licked. Namely Go
mer Smith, for senator, and AL
falfa Bill Murray, for governor.
MIR. Roosevelrs friend, Senator
Elmer Thomas, who won Demo-
cratic denomination after the
President patted him on the back,
is no sound, cautious conservative
himself. Elmer always is wanting
to do something more about silver,
printing press money and lnfia-
ton.
In fact, there were those who
felt that poor Woody Hockaday,
who tried to spring on the Presi-
dent with a prosperity plan based
on shining shoes and buying
wheat to make bread at a profit,
belonged somewhere on a ticket
which featured Conner, Alfalfa
Bill, Elmer and an astonishing as
sortment of Mae Vests, Daniel
Boones, Brigham ,Youngs, Huey
Longs, Oliver Cromwells and Pat
rick Henrys.
But by all odds the most spec
tacular recovery proposal from
Oklahoma is made by Oscar
Ameringer, lovable old Socialist
editor of the American Guardian
at Oklahoma City. Oscar wasn't
running for anything, but it's hard
to see why someone didn't pick
up his program.
He proposes that the Treasury
Immediately print $4,000, 900, 900

We in the United States are
suffering today from widespread
lawbreaking. That fact is made
evident by the turmoil we are in.
If we were a law-abiding people
we should be going on about our
affairs working them out quietly,
bravely, progressively. And we
should not have so much to work
out Of.
There is a higher power we
could bring into our daily affairs

CONSTITUTIONS and congresses

University. His last public serv-
&c was in the Virginia Constitu-
ienal Convention of 1929.
In the momentous Intervening
years, Madison served in the Vir-

Congress, the Constitutional Con-

grew to become a foundation

problems. In the convention a

Virginia plan and rendered sucf
efficient and brilliant service gen.
orally that his associates calico
him the Father of the Constltu'

posed the original resolution:
calling for the creation OF the dc.

THE CRIME OF BEING RICH

1t is rather disgusting to hear proponents of the
new deal harp So continuously on the crime of be-
ing rich. Wealthy men painted as demons who
rob, cheat and steal from those below them in the
financial scale. The mere fact of being rich should
not be cause for general condemnation by the new
deal, especially since most of the new deals lead
ers are themselves wealthy men and the rest of
them are trying as hard they can to become
wealthy-Atlantic Qa.) News-Telegraph.

The joker in the Haywood bill
is to the effect that Waynesvllle

stores regardless of. how the other
parts Of the county may feel on

break out for an election in this
section. Other counties under the
state law are understood to have
the necessary number Of petit

MEETING MOTHER

MON, how about having Juliet
West here for dinner Sunday?"
His mother looked up quickly.
"Of course, son, if you want her.
Is there any special reason?"
Il just want you to know her. I
hope you'll like each other"
It was all he could say then,
and if his mother detected the
note of yearning in his voice she
gave no sign.
All during dinner. the converse
ton was forced and unnatural.
Benny caught his mother and
Juliet watching each other. like
opponents in a boxing match.
Toward the end of the meal, Juliet
literally threw her glove in the
ring.
What do you think of Benny's
offer from Mr.. Kent?" she asked
suddenly.
The offer from Mr.. Kent! For a
minute it hung in the air between
them, like a live thing. He had
not told his mother. He had not
wanted her to know.
What was that, SOM" His
mothers voice was low and tremu-
1ous.
"Oh, it was nothing, mother,
nothing that would interest me.
It would mean leaving town. I'm
much better off out here with
you"
He tried to smile. but Juliet
looked as if he had slapped her.
The rest Of the meal was awk-
ward. Soon afterward. Juliet ex-
cused herself, and Benny drove her
home. He tried to find words in
which to explain his position, to
drive that hurt look from her
eyes. He put his arms around her
and drew her close.
SHE CAN'T UNDERSTAND

Juliet'S lips were stiff. Her voice
broke, but it was cold, brittle

Benn's mother had always been
an active woman, but now she
seemed goaded to work at a pace
beyond her strength.
She mended all his clothes and
hung out his summer suits, al
though it was still too cool fol-
him to wear them. There seemed
nothing she could think of thai
she did not do for him, but each
night her eyes were dark with
Nzatigue-and something else.

Juliet, Juliet! What happened
to uS?"
"I-don't know. Maybe-it's this
thing called love-" She laughed,
shakily. and Benny knew that she
was trying to make light of some
thing that all their young Sophis-
tication had suddenly found too
big for them. 1t had come to her,
then. as it had to him, overwhelm-
ingly, but with realization that
this was to be no mere summer
Irritation.
MARRIAGE-BUT WHEN?
This is what I've been waiting
for" he said. We'll be married"
Yes" Her lips formed the word,
and he sealed it there.
It was some time later that the

of their dream to face realities.

You1l love her, too, when you

II hope so. I hope your mother

Benny. That's why we can't live
together. 1t wouldn't work. 1t
never does. When a girl marrieS
she wants her own home, and no
mother likes to look on while some
other woman takes her place"
But that's ridiculous. You

You'd be help to each other"
mo, Benny. Ridiculous as 1t
may seem to you. I still want my
own home. If you accept that Of
fer from Mr.. Kent"
Il see." Benny felt that Juliet
did not like his mother, did not
want to live with her.
His masculine mind could mag
ine no reason why the two women
he loved, and who loved him,
could not live amicably beneath
the same roof, unless they did not
like each other.
They must be made to like each
other, he decided. 1t was impoS-
sible for him to consider Mr..
Kent's offer to join him in the
feed business.
That would mean that he would
have to live in town and leave his
mother alone in the country, with
only the tenant to look after her.
