Peter Rabbit never will forget his
surprise when Jenny Wren asked
him one morning if he had seen
anything of her big cousin. Peter
hesitated. AS a matter of fact he
couldn't think of any big cousin of
Jenny Wren. All the cousins Peter
knew anything about were very
near Jenny's own size.
Now Jenny Wren is one of the
most impatient small persons in the
world. We'll, well, well, Peter, have
you lost your tongue?" she chartered.
Cant you answer a simple question
without taking all day about it?
Have you seen anything of my big
cousin?"

Brownie the Thrasher related to the
Wren family?"
Ever since there have been any
Wrens and Thrashers," retorted
Jenny. Brownie belongs to one
branch Of the family and I belong
to another, and that makes him my
second cousin. It certainly is sur

HE ASKED FOR IT
(San Diego Sum

NSoil 1lSSp CuhJ
President Roosevelt invited Carter
Glass to make trouble Senator Glass
obliged. Result: the senate voted 72 to
9 to reject the presidents nomination of
Floyd H. Roberts as federal judge in
Virginia.
If Mr. Roosevelt wants more trouble,
he can make another appointment that
is personally obnoxious" to the anti
New Deal Virginia senator's, Glass and
Byrd. He can keep on making such
appointments as fast as the senate turns
them down. But trouble is all he is likely
to get by that course.
For his case is weak-how weak is
indicated by the fact that even most of
his staunchest supporters in the senate
didn't stand by him on the showdown.
The people may not think highly of the
senatorial courtesy rule, under which
one or two senators from a single state
can block a judicial nominee who may be
thoroughly qualified for the bench. But
Mr. Roosevelt won't win much sympathy
by denouncing senatorial courtesy ust
now. A president who tries to use a judi
clal appointment as d patronage club to
punish senator's for disagreeing with him
has little right to object to the weapon
with which they fight back.
We can see prospects of much excite
ment in the Roosevelt-Glass battle goes
on and on. Excitement, however, is not
one of the things the country needs. One
Of the things it does need is more con-
lidence in the federal courts. One way to
foster that would be for these gentlemen
TO stop using that Virginia iudgeship as
political football and agree to fill the
vacancy with man selected solely be-
cause he is able and honest.

THE FALLACY OF
EXTREME NATIONALISM

proposal to construct a new, modern
highway connecting the Arizona border
with the Gulf of California is liable to
be dropped because powerful forces in
Mexico oppose the project on the grounds
it would endanger Mexican nationalsm.
Seldom has there been a better demon
stration Of the evil extreme nationalism
can do; or Of the bars it can place in the
way of progress.
Opponents of the highway project
might as well argue that Mexico should
leave a 50-mile strip all along her north
ern border uncultivated uninhabited and
untraveed. They might as we'll suggest
tearing down all telephone and telegraph
lines across the border, and tearing up
all existing roads from the United States
to Mexico.
When nationalism in any country be-
comes so extreme that it refuses to ac-
cept improvements or inventions simply
because they come from another country,
progress is bound to reach standstill.
Mexico, along with other extremely ma
tionalist countries should remember
that civilization cannot stand still-it
either progresses or decays

THE PAROLE
SYSTEM JUSTIFIED
lNaIt Lake Gin Desert NeWSl

1t is interesting 10 hear the comments
of Chief Justice W II. Folland of Utah
with reference to the parole board in
this state. He said, in addressing a recent
meeting of the Salt Lake Kiwanis club,
that mot clemency. not leniency, but the
reclaiming Of human beings and their re-
habiitation as useful members of soci-
ETY. is the primary object of the Utah
Board of Pardons.
IN presenting his case he pointed out
that the construction of more prisons is
not the solution to the crime problem,
but that the redemption of fallen men
and women through a system which will
return them to society as constructive
citizens. is the only answer. Discussing
PAROLES in Utah, he said that 81 per cent
are now employed although at low
average monthly wage of but $52.15. He
added that among those now on probation
ga per cent are employed, their average
monthly pay being S59.90...
To first offenders in particular is it of
value. for it takes them from the asso-
citation of hardened convicts of the type
that make prisons schools for crime
and gives them an opportunity to resume
a respectable position in society and to
make good by benefiting from mistakes
of the past. After all. in civilized and
Christian state, the ultimate welfare of
society at large is the greatest considera-
ton. That welfare depends upon the
acts of the individuals who make up So
ciety. To rehabilitate one man, means to
bestow blessing upon ALL and more
especially to his family-his wife, his
sons and daughters. Parole is factor in
that process.

Bruce Cation in Washington
Disseets the News

WASHINGTON. - Congressman
Edward Taylor, Colorado Demo
crat, figures he has the recipe for
success in Washington.
You get along all right, he says,
If you just stay away from the
idea that you're going to be a
great man.
Congressman Taylor is 81. and
has been in congress ever since
1909 He is chairman Of the power
ful House Appropriations Commit
tee, and he recalls that the job
killed six of his predecessors, all
much younger than he; anyway,
they died while they held the office.
But he's getting along fine.
Il attribute my long service. =
he says, ito the fact that l never
aSpired TO be great. 1 have never
thought that I was elected because
of my superior intellect. l have
never tried to be an orator. My sole
object is TO be the most useful
public servant Colorado ever sent
to Washington"
III ali MS campaigns 1or Con-
gresS, Mr.. Taylor has never been
opposed for his party's nomination
When election time comes he just
stands on his record Last fall he
was opposed by Republicans and
TownSendites in a hot fight. He
made no campaign, uttered nary
speech, attended no meetings, and
stayed right in his home town
and won by a wide margin.
Congressman Taylor does not
drink and never has, but he figures
he has bought more drinks than
any teetotaler that ever lived. He
started running for local offices
back in the wide open days in
Leadville, in the 1905. The miners
all congregated in saloons, and to
conduct campaign you simply
walked in, told the barkeep to set
EN- up, passed out cigars, and made
a little speech.
Things are different in Washing
ton than they were when he first
came here, he says. For one thing.
congressman has four times as
much work as he had then"
