FROM THE HEART
OF A LITTLE GIRL

Daddy, if you know we're hungry,
Know that we are poor,
1t must break your heart in heaven
Cause you never did insure!
Mamma wonders why you didn't
Save the dimes you threw away;
But you felt too strong and healthy
For insurance, people say.
You were taken without warning,
Leaving us to fight alone.
You'd have taken out insurance,
Daddy, if you'd only known!
'Twasn't that you didn't love US,
recall how dear you we're;
But your little girl must suffer
Cause you failed to save for her.
Mamma just can't make the living;
She is wearing out, she said.
] shall have to miss some schooling,
For the sake of daily bread.
When she's gone, | guess they'll take
me
To be clothed and fed; but, Daddy,
1t can ne'er be home to me.
Marys daddy left insurance,
And their home will still be theirs.
They're not hungry. Sometimes Mary
Gives me cast-off clothes she wears.
They don't have to take in sewing.
Mary's mamma doesn't cry.
For her daddy leftS insurance.
But you didn't, Daddy-Why?

RADIANT LIVING
LIFE'S BASIC PRINCIPLE
By Rev. C. NJ. Griffeth
Pastor Ridgely M. e. Church
Ridgely. Md.

Few are there who would dispute
the fact that the creed of Jesus, as
il relates itself to social implica-
tions, is expressed by the Golden
Rule, as He states it in His Sermon
on the Mount: Therefore all things
Whosoever ye would that men should
do to you, do ye even so to them"
1t has been said that the Golden
Rule is not original with Jesus. In
confirmation of this claim, we are
referred to the negative statement
made by Confucius: do not do to
others what you would not like done
to yourself" We are told that in the
Mohammendan religion, in Buddhism,
as well as in the ancient Zoroaster-
ian faith there were also admonitions
akin to that given by Confucius.
It remained for Jesus, however, to
take these old admonitions that were
negative in character and give them
a Divine touch that has transformed
them into a living energetic prin-
eiple-the Golden Rule.
We speak of At as THE Golden
Rule" because it is the basic prifl-
ciple upon which all true and happy
living is established. To live accord
ing to the Golden Rule is to enter
upon a life that is golden not only in
character but in reward.
The Golden Rule is not an admo-
milton to refrain from evil doing. On
the contrary, it is divine direction
to put into action some form of SER
vice that will be helpful to others.
The Golden Rule is love in action.
It calls for the deliberate rejection
from ones life of any and all express
sions in action or even in thought of
the spirit of ill will, of retaliation, of
revenge. The Golden Rule calls for
the practical application of love, even
toward enemies, as illustrated by the
kindness of the Good Samaritan to-
ward the Jew that hated him.
Take the Golden Rule of Jesus as
the basic principle of your daily iiv-
ing 1t will bring into your life the
golden radiance of the joy OF brother
hood!

FROM CONGRESSMAN
GEORGE S. WILLIAMS

NEUTRALITY.-On the evening of
July IS, President Roosevelt called to
the White House group of Congress
sional leaders TO discuss the fate of
neutrality legislation at this session
of Congress. The conference was
attended by Senate Majority Leader
Barkley, Senate Minority Leader Nc
Nary, Secretary of State Hull, Sena-
tor Austin of Vermont, Senator Borah
of Idaho, Vice President Garner and
Key Pittman of Nevada. Only after
a three-hour debate, which was en-
tered into by each member of the
eroup, did President Roosevelt and
Secretary Hull reluctantly accept the
bipartisan leadership decision to
postpone further consideration of
neutrality legislation until the next
session. President Roosevelt and
Secretary Hull maintained through
cut the debate that failure by the
Senate to take action now would
weaken the leadership Of the United
States in exercising its potent infiu-
ence in the cause of preserving peace
among other nations in the event of
new crisis in Europe between now
and next January. The Republican
viewpoint, however, was that regard
less of the merits of the legislation,
war in Europe is not inevitable at an
early date and the wise course would
b. to defer action. 1t is understood
that the President now plans to make
an appeal to the country, and if this
should happen the opponents will
meet this challenge with a speaking
campaign of their own.

TRANSPORTATION BILL. The
House has started its consideration
of the Lea RailrOad-Relief bill. A
strong coalition of Republicans and
Democrats are prepared to fight the
provisions placing water carriers un-
der regulation of the Interstate Com
merce Commission. Although the
President is anxious that this legisla-
ton be passed at this session Of Con-
gress and enacted into law, there
seems to be little chance Of such hap
Tening, since both the House and the
Senate are feverishly working toward
an early adjournment. Since there
IS a difference of opinion among the
railroad labor organizations regard
ing this legislation, it is probable
that the bill will be held over and
give the proponents and opponents a
Better chance to study the provisions

The House Labor Committee has ap-

group led by Congressman Barden of
North Carolina. Congressman Bar
den has introduced a bill, opposed by
the administration, making certain
exemptions to the Wage-Hour law for
agriculture. II is doubtful, however,
if any amendments to the law can
be enacted at this time, except those
approved by the President, due to
the nearness of adjournment. How
ever, Barden refused to admit defeat.

HATCH BILL.-After bitter and

after midnight, the House passed the
Hatch bill by a vote of 242 to 1873.
The purpose and intent of the Hatch
bill is ito take politics out of relief"
Jnd forbids any federal employee to
take an active part in political man
agement or in political campaigns"
1t forbids federal jobholders from
attending national conventions as
delegates or alternates. 1t also pro-
hibits coercion in elections, bans the
solicitation or receipt of political
contributions from any person in the
relief establishment, and paying for
lolitical activity with jobs. The en-
tire Republican membership, acting
with perfect party discipline, com
bined with enough Democrats to beat
Down opposition efforts to defeat the
ILL through amendments and filibus-
ter. The bill now goes back to the
Senate for ironing out of the differ
enceS between the bill as passed by
The Senate, and the amended bill as
passed by the House.

President Roosevelt smiling
