On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

The death on Thursday of Senator
Richard Kelly of Chisholm, the 31-year
old go-getter from the western end OF
the ranges, acted as shock to his
large number of friends in the county
and state. He was elected to the Min
uesota house of representatives as its
Youngest member in 1886. Two years
later he was elected TO the state senate.
The funeral took place at Chisholm,
Saturday and delegations from both
the house and senate named by the
presiding officers attended the last
sad rites at st. Joseph's Catholic church
the Rev. Father Schifferer conducting
the same.

The meanest person in Duluth Is the
thief who robbed the st. James orphan
age of 25 turkeys and more than 100
chickens, intended for their Thanks
giving dinner. No sooner had the papers
put the news Of the dastardly act on
the street, when offers began to pour
into the office of the Rt. Rev. Msgr.
Michael BoIand He was informed that
birds would be sent out for dinner. In
commenting on the affair, Msgr. Boland
said, There are thousands of good
people to take care of what thief has
done" In addition to these individual
offers, a Duluth business man, who did
not want his name mentioned, said he
would send out twenty 20-pound birds
to the home.

Now It's A Political
Depression
]. E. Jones

Forty-seven House Democrats
joined with LAG Republicans in de-
feating the Presidents lending bill
This was the worst blow ever admin
istered to the New Deal, inasmuch
as it was a definite refusal TO con-
tinue the spending policies of the
Administration, even though the la
bel had been changed TO lending"
Spending the way out Of the financial
depression has been basic New Deal
philosophy from the very beginning.
Taken in connection with such leg
islation as the Hatch bill and the
defeat of Neutrality ii has thrown the
Democratic party in Il political de-
preston in which individuals are
struggling to find their way out On
the surface the situation looks bad
for the party. Looking below the sur
face, well-informed Washington
newspaper men discovered weeks ago
that many New Deal Senators and
Representatives had lost their faith
in pump-priming through spending
and lending. The failures of past
experiments had 3hattered their be-
lief in such plans. They couldn't go
through with IT, But ii is also a
fact that there were many Congress-
men who voted to have the House
take up and discuss the lending bill,
even though they had declared that
they were opposed to its principles.
Had the bill been given that consid-
Grafton these Congress men would
have voted against its passage, and
that would have increased the size
of the New Deal defeat
The political depression in the
party as it broke out in
Congress is not construed by trained
in Washington as a def
mite revolt against Franklin D.
RooseI elt. 1t signifies lost confidence
in his major lending policies, and
as many New Dealers will tell you
confidentially. they believe that the
'experiment" had been tried long
enough and they hoped their leader
would acknowledge the failure of his !

in this fresh political revolt.
What will happen next? Nobody |

YOU CAN SEE MORE ON
A FARM
BY Rev. C. M. Griffeth
Pastor Ridgely M. e. Church
Ridgely, Md,

1t was just the other day when
late in the afternoon we went TO
visit a friend who lived on a farm.
The heat of the day was still linger-
ing in the house, so We went out
on the lawn. 1t was spacious, green,
cooling and refreshing. We distri-
buted ourselves about ON the white
Slated chairs and relaxed into a
pleasant conversation.
Sitting there, my eyes rOamed out
across the reEtful landscape. 1t was
as fiat as a floor and stretched out
before me until it became lost in
some distant trees and haze. Over
head there stretched across the wide
dome of the sky, tinted with deli
cate pink, the afterglow of the color
full sun who, after long days work,
had gone home over the horizon.
AS we sat there and chatted, the
color above faded into a light blue
and then deepened into darker
shades. Presently heavens night
shift came on duty. Silently they
switched on their lights in ehe great
space above us and began their all
night toll of building for us a new
day.
In my earlier years ! had always
thought that one had TO go TO the
city to see things. There we would
find the wonder of tall buildings,
hear the roar of traffic, and go ex-
ploring about in bargain Easements.
There is much to see in cities,
but when You have seen one, you
have seen them all. There Is that cut
rate beplastered drug store on the
corner, the big red five ana ten, the
buzzing department stores and the
noisy cOlorful newstands. Whether
in the east or west, there is much the
in every city.
But out on the farm in that twi-
light hour ! saw something that the
city is too small 10 display,
Sprawled out in that white Slated
lawn chair, | saw the machinery of
he universe in operation. | witness
I'd the mysterious and noiseless
change of day into night. saw in

Principles More
Important Than Men

News stories have been appearing
! for months in United States news
/ papers under Washington date lines
which tell tn ereaders that the Wash
| ington Administration feared taking
any drastic steps about Mexico's con
fiscation of foreign-owned oil proper
ties on the grounds that such action
might throw Mexico into chaos and
always concluded with the thought
that Csrdenas was better than chaos.
A recent manifesto OF General
Juan Andreu Almazans, az reported
in the New York Times of July 2S,
indicates that such fears were
groundless because in the announce
ment of his candidacy for the presi-
dency of Mexico General Almazan
says:
Seeing that we are neighbors of
the great nation of the United States
il is indispensable for us TO get firm
ly into our minds that we shall never
have the sympathy, much less the
cooperation, of the American people
in our efforts to become strong un-
less true friendship is first establish
ed between that country and ours,
based on scrupulous respect for our
mutual rights"
This is a refreshingly new note to
be struck in Mexico by a responsible
leader of that country. And il is an
attractive one. For years Mexican
leaders have been giving the gringo
the raspberry. Now one of the fore
most candidates for the presidency
asks for cooperation with the United
States.
Perhaps the Washington Admins
tration has been wrong in its belief
that il is either Cardenas or chaos
in Mexico If il has been wrong then
the Almazan manifesto, If taken at
its face value, must be a terrible
shock TO government officials. Ger
tainly Almazan's proposals are re-
freshlng in the light of recent Mex
ican disrespect for the rights and
of United States citizens.
This argument, however, takes
enc afield from the main issue:
that our Government officials !
have no business interesting them |
selves i nor concerning themselves |
over who is or who is not president |
Of Mexico. Instead their fundamen- |
tai, sole and constant concern should |
be fixed upon principles which deal |
with the protection of the legitimate
interests of United States nationals |
THE PEOPLE of a community are !
