BORAH

Proof that politician remain true to his
convictions and still remain in public favor is fur
nished in the career of Senator Borah His death
removes from the Senate and from the American
scene who compromised who more
often than not prevailed in his Congressional battles
and who never failed of reelection by the doting
voters of Idaho
Borah's influence in Doth domestic and for
eign affairs long puzzle to orthodox politicians
Early in his Senate he was regarded a
potential presidential candidate his independence
being interpreted a bid for popular support
that would force him to the head of the ticket,
But he pursued his untrammeled way he
finally became accepted who was sincere in
the belief he himself worded it, that "a public
man should not be bound by his party big or
fundamental questions"
Thus he became a sort of oracle and his almost
daily interviews with newspapermen became an in
stitution He seldom had timely news to give out,
but student of principles he furnished wealth
OF background material for complicated situations
both at home and abroad
Recognized exponent of progressive
thought within well as without the Republican
party, Borah had a wide political influence and
successive Presidents sought to enlist him lieu
tenant. In each case he declined
Soon after Harding moved from the Senate to
the White House he asked Borah to be Administra-
ton leader in the Senate, arguing that what the
party needed was better team work in Congress
Explaining that he could not surrender his own
political opinions, Senator Borah said:
Mr.. President, you can get along without me
but cannot get along without my views.
Again when the time for President Coolidge
to cast about for running mate in 1924 he ano
his advisers agreed upon Borah the man who
could command progressive support in the face OF
the LaFoette campaign Summoned to the White
House from his customary morning horseback ride
in Rock Creek Park to be advised of the decision
Borah declined the honor Political gossip at ths
time had it that when the President invited the
Senator to run the national ticket with him
Borah asked AT which end, Mr.. PRESIDENT" but
this never authenticated. ~

ETIQUETTE
By Roberta Lee

@. What are the rules a man
should follow for removal of his
hat in an elevator?
A. The well-bred man removes
his hat when in the elevator of
hotel or apartment building, but
it is not required in the elevator
of an office building or depart
ment store. In, the, latter places
it is optional; many men do.
@. Isn't it improper to discuss
unpleasant subjects at the table?
A. Yes. and not only at the
table, but anywhere else. Illness,
accidents, operations, calamj( les,
misfortunes, are choice subjects for
the backfence gossip.
c. Has a woman the privilege
to invite a man to call on her,
or must she wait for the sugges-
ton to come from him?
A. A woman has this privilege.

SUNDAY, JANUARY


Planetary aspects today presage
startling news disturbing to the
mind. The clergy and the churches
are subject to benefic influences
which indicate an awakening of
spiritual interest among persons
of all classes. Moral rearmameft
will extend to many nations
Heart and Home: Women may
be sensitive to adverse planetary
influences today. They should re-
frain from uttering words of fear
or from nurturing depressing
thoughts. This is not an suspicious
date to write a love letter. Jealousy
and misunderstanding are indi-
Gated for young persons. Charitable
and philanthropic organizatiolisiWjn
require generous support. TRssk
Business Affairs Taxation and
other drains on wealth will dimin-
ish the generous gifts formally be-
slowed upon hospitals, universities
and other institutions. AS business
continues brisk, those who enjoy
steady incomes should give gener-
ously to organizations that aid the
i'll and the needy. The stars irldi-
cate increase of small gifts from
average incomes.
National Issues: The conjunction
of Jupiter and aturn which occurs
every twenty years will have strong
effect for nine months in 1940-41.
The influences will face unusual
difficulties in reconciling factions
and selecting candidates for Presi-
dent of the United States.
International Affairs: Dictators
continue under aspects stimulating
aggressive aims, but disagreementS
among them will be of worldwide
benefit. The Pope is to gain world
gratitude by opposing the plans
of Stain and the Communists. The
year will see surprising moves on
the European chessboard. Unstable
peace truces are family indicated.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of an eventful year. I'm
expected reversals Of fortune may
be preliminary to great good luck.
Children born on this day will
be inventive and imaginative. They
will succeed in either a scientific
or a literary career They should
develop into magnetic personalities
that win fame.

HANGOVERS

A large crowd of interested
citizens will ankle up the city
hall stairs tonight and there
hear the much-pubIicized dual
highway project discussed pro
and con. 1t should be interest
ing. The meeting, I'm told, will
be the result of efforts on the
part of Councilman Vernon NJ.
Miller who is interested in see
ing the project, started several
years ago, completed. Opposing
the idea is the Hon. Mayor
Richard Sweeney.
The Mayor, being in the
"anti'' camp, will not preside,
and my City Hall Spy tells me
that he plans to attend as
spectator. That will be odd, in
asmuch as the Mayor will have
an opportunity to see Council
man Miller in action, conduct
ing the meeting from his (the
Mayor's) chair. The Councilman
being an announced candidate to
replace Richard Gf Richard
finally decides to gallop, come
primary time) will, incidentally
have the opportunity to show the
folks that he can sit on the hiqh
throne and conduct a meeting in
dignified manner.
If it isn't one thing it's an
other, and sometimes wonder
how the King manages to carry
that tremendous burden on his
shoulders!
BY the time this appears in
print it may not be news, but,
just in case, here it is: Backers
of Walter johnson in tre Sixth
Congressional District are be-
coming alarmed over the prog
ress being made by Congressman
Bill Byron, particularly in the
COP candidates home county of
Montgomery. During the past
two weeks several rallies have
been held in Montgomery county
at which Byron has been the
principal speaker, and I'm told
that he is making such rapid
progress that Walters majority,
if any, in that county, will be
extremely small. Add to this the
fact that only one of the four
newspapers in Montgomery coun
ty has announced itself in support
of Johnson and you can get an
even better idea of how the sit
uation is stacking up for the
Washington County candidate.
Don't be surprised if you hear
of several weekly newspapers in
the Sixth Congressional District
changing hands. In two counties
of the District (neither of which
is Washington County, cold
hard cash has been laid on the
line, but the editors have re-
piled "no dice" It's political
move on the part of one of the
major parties to swing the coun-
ties to fast fading candidate.
Some of the b'hoys certainly get
all het up on the home stretch.

Agricultural Peace

II cordial relations have at long
last been established between the
State Department Of Agriculture and
the \. c. State College Extension
Service, the delay in reaching an
agreement should prove to be some
thing we'll worth waiting for. The
fact that these two great agencies
working for the welfare of the farm
rr have So long been at loggerheadS
has not been of great benefit to
agriculture.
.lrulnllSieS that have existed in the
matter of authority and other flmc-
tjnnS have been aired in several
LEGISLATURES of the recent past. The
1899 Assembly authorized appoint
ment by the governor of 4 coordinate
inc committee To attempt restoration
of harmonious relations. and the
governor has now announced an &C
cord has been reached. Friends of
horticulture will hope that it is not
patch work nor makcshiIt. but al
pl1uSible. practical working basis
whereby each will be content with
il. own specific duties and move
forward together for the good of the
industry and the thousands of farm
crs who stand to benefit as the
result.
1t is probably true that compet-
inc programs have been Il retarding
Influence against greater generosity
at the hands of the legislature, since
much of the i'll will seems to have
existed over the matter of apprGprla-
tionS and the placing Of authority.
Control Of experiment stations and
test farms has been an issue, but this
difference appears from the COVER
nor'S statement to have been worked
out to the satisfaction, or at least to
the point O: agreement. OF both sides.
Whether there is complete accord ,
I'll along the line perhaps remains
to be tested in the months ahead. |
Evidence pointing in one way or the
other will probably be forthcoming
after the legislature gets down to-
business and comes around to APP
portioning money for support of the
various agencies and activities this
winter.

ever to be paid back. and if il &C

no one will care if it isn't.
This act of good will ought to be
convincing evidence to the Tokyo
government. if any were needed. that
this nation stands ready to 60 to the
utmost in maintaining its rights in
the Orient. and that il considers the
best means of doing that at the
moment is in helping China. 1t
should be sufficient warning to
Japan that there is no intention here

aggression and her policy of land
grabbing.
Nowhere among the nations has

from the start no sympathy here
with the japanese campaign. and if
furnishing Of oil for China's lamps
can turn the tables toward a just and
righteous peace. the American gov
eminent apparently intends to let it
be known that it stands ready to do
what it can in that direction.
Such aid as is being provided will
be helpful to Chang in his resist

given in this and other ways two
years OF three years ago it would
have been vastly more effective,
and better results would have been
possible at much less expense and
with nothing like 50 great sacrifice

movements when in competitive
contests such as boxing or Wres-
