HOROSCOPE
SATURDAY. MAY 1I

Benefic aspects dominate to-
day which should be fortunate
for industry, which will expand
through coming months. Labor
comes under stimulating and
harmonizing influences. It is
an suspicious date for signing
contracts.
Heart and Home: This Is a
most promising sway for wom-
en-, who should work with en-
ergy toward any goal in BUSH
ness or the professions. 1t is not
a lucky time for seeking the aid
of men in high places. but will
be favorable for independent
action. Competition with men
will still be attended with obsta-
cles, but the stars herald sue
cess in financial matters.
Business Affairs: Cooperation
between employers and EN-
ployes is prognosticated at this
time when labor unions should
be helpful to one another. Prop
uganda intended to increase fric-
ton among leaders Of organi-
cations viii be widely dissemi-
mated and have little effect.
Warning is given that gossip
and evil communications will
be prevalent for political pur-
poses.
National Issues: International
banking problems will cause in
creased concern regarding the
steady rise in the stupendous
national debt.
Persons whose birthdate 1t Is
have the augury OF year OF
steady advancement. The young
will gain happiness through
romances.
Children born on this day
probably will be fond Of home
and family, clever In ability to
make much Of opportunities,
bright in mind and strong in
body.

Congress appears determined
to pass three bills which would
weaken the authority now en-
joyed by the executive branch.
One Is the amended Hatch act

of numerous state machines no.
toriously pro-Roosevelt. A Sec
ond is the Walter-Logan proposal
to regulate the administrative
regulators, and against which
FDR has initiated a personally
directed campaign. An even
more unpleasant prospect Is
that both branches may disap-
prove the presidential order abol-
ishing the air safety board and
shifting the civil aeronautics au-
thority to the department Of
commerce.
All three measures, however,
face fierce opposition, and possi-
bly, a Senate filibuster by the
administration forces. Present
strategy Is to prevent them from
reaching n vote. If possible, for
few members dare to line up
against them openly. Under such
circumstances the time element

delegates were there for the
noble purpose Of bringing about

ing in the right way the proper
policies for our state govern
ment. Right there the fog Of
uncertainties settled down, and
halted the maneuvering.
"Progressivism" may mean
much or nothing. contingent
upon the genuineness of the de-
sire for it and what it Is that
we are to progress toward or
away from. There was no I'M
animity of opinion as to just
what all the motivating desires
meant in any specific way. The
very gathering itself was sup
posed to be both openly public
and definitely exclusive at the
same time, an incongruity indi-
eating a degree of futility and
an undercurrent of desire to
play it tor certain but undeclar-
ed political ends and advantages.
1t is not necessary to 60 be-
yond the fundamental demo-
cratic cause to find wise pro-
gressivism. Unfortunately even
many of those now wearing the
Democratic party badge do not
always fully understood this.
Thomas jefferson said it would
take a thousand years for the
people to arrive at a consum-
mate understanding of the be-
nign principles of democracy,
and Mr.. Jefferson was generally
correct.
Any genuine democrat, "old
line" as the bandwagon climb
ers like to express it, or any
other sort, is progressive in the
right way; he is true progress
sive or he is not a democrat.
As for this recent conference
selecting a candidate for the
democrats for governor, this was
not done, of course, and Sena-
tor Dill. whose supporters ap-
peared to be largely in the ma
jority, uttered the wise comment
when he stated that it was at
least too early for any confer
ence or body to make any such
selection for the Democrats.
