white and blue throne, with canopy
of tissue-paper rosettes. Each shaft
was manned by three of Otho's pre-
Texas friends, dressed in minstrel
costumes.
The crowd - which older citizens
still say was larger than that which
greeted Teddy Roosevelt when his
train stopped for water in 1905 -
sang with the band or just cheered.
Many carried placards and banners
with such greetings as, ITO Our
Favorite Son." Welcome Home.
Conqueror of the West" And all
eyes were turned on Otho to watch
him melt away with the heat of his
own bushes.
But once again the town had
failed to anticipate the workings of
Otho's mind.
There might have been one faint
blush while Otho was sensing the
situation, but it didn't last. He
climbed to the throne with all the
dignity of a hero, lifted his hat and
bowed to left and right as the pro-

it. He doesn't know to this day who
won that ball game.
When MIR. Wilson. president of
the First National Bank. got to his
desk the next morning there was a
telegram from Otho. asking if he
could have his old job back in the
teller's cage.
Long before noon everyone IN
town knew that Ohio was coming
home. Miss Ruby Elkins. the tele-
phone operator. said she never had
seen the switchboard SO busy or
heard such terrible language used in
all her life. The town was certalnly'
down on Ohio.
Or COURSE Otho's crowd hadn't
fully rested up from his going-away
celebration. and it was day or SO
until their confused anger let them
work out a plan for retribution.
When they finally got around to it.
they worked out a beauty - it was
to be the most intimidating display
ever devised
As Otho stepped off the LAS that
sunny afternoon his foot touched
green, velvet carpet that undoubt-
edly had been borrowed from the
center aisle Of the Methodist Church.
Over the roar of the crowd he heard

Public Square.
1t was long, hard pull up the hill
and perspiration soaked the colorful
costumes which the thrones motive

By the time they had reached the
Confederate Monument the strain

mad enough to overturn the throne,

full master of the situation. His per

played the part had he come home
40 years later. heavy-laden with the
fruits of success
As far as | know. Otho has never
left town since then. except on short
trips to see a baseball game. The
thought of going to a big-league
game far away from home gave him
slight brush Of nausea.
OTHo quit the bank long time
ago, bought "A couple of secondhand
cars and started running bus serv-
ice into Nashville His chief motive
at the time was to assure himself
free ride to all ball games. When the
new highway was built in the '2Os
he was forced to put on real buses
to take care of the increasing traffic.
As the years went by. Otho's bus
line kept getting bigger and bigger,
until the responsibility OF it all began
to interfere with his pleasure trips.
He told me once that he never
would have gone into the business in
the first place if he had known it was
going to grow like it did.
But everything is all right now.
Ohio sold out to one of those big.
cross-country companies few
months ago. He got small fortune
out of the deal. and - if you haven't
already guessed what he did with
the money - he gave the town a
baseball park that would do credit
to city the size of Dallas.
/ WAS there for the dedication early
this spring. A couple of big-league
teams on the way up from Florida
training stopped off to play an ex-
hibition game. 1t was quite show.
Otho threw out the first ball from
his private box, which was fixed up
somewhat like a throne All his old
friends still living were there. but
most of the crowd was far too young
to notice that Otho himself must
have taken a quiet hand in the ar
rangements.
In the box with him were the sur
viving members of the six-man team
that pulled him up Depot Hill the
hot day in 1902. And another thing
noticed in particular was the green
carpet that led up to Otho's box. 1t
was threadbare and worn, but I
thought l recognized it.
Just to be sure l took look in
at the Methodist Church after the
game. The center aisle was bare, all
right-like it hadn't been in Al years.

Otho left for Texas in a
blaze of glory - but what
he sought was at home
IT WAS way back in 1902 that
Otho Hurd left for Texas in such
blaze of glory. No one in my Ten
nessee home town ever got such
send-o because there was no doubt
in anyone's mind but that Otho was
headed for business fame and for
tune
He was easily the most popular
young man in town - not exactly
the leader type, but so likeable that
no leader would want to 60 along
without him.
Except for an almost fanatical
love for baseball, he didn't have
fault. 1t was only natural, then, that
his departure should have set off
round of farewell parties.
The festivities really began good
two weeks before Otho was sched-
uled to leave Young matrons argued
as to party dates. for Otho was the
professional bachelor friend of the
young married couples. Hopeful
mothers and daughters all agreed
that Otho was the most eligible

merrymaking. There were farewell
speeches, and the excitement at the
depot didn't subside until Ohio. wav-
ing majestically from the rear plat
form, finally disappeared into the
distance.
The letdown was bad. Young
wives got home to find all sorts of
neglected chores. Even the most con-
scientious young businessmen found
that they had almost forgotten how
to work. But the strain of it all didn't
dim anyone's feeling for Otho.
Everyone agreed that any less of
send-off would not have done him
justice.

THE STATE OF THE UNION

The Presidents decision to send
one message, which includes the
budget, instead of two separate
messages, as has been the custom,
lis in itself a highly significant
event. 1t marks the acceptance
of the fact that in these times the
relation between government fl
nance and the private economy is
intimate and reciprocal. The two
cannot be considered apart, and
treated like two parallel lines that
never meet. The day is gone, and
probably never return, when gov
eminent spending, taxing, and Dor
rowing can be isolated from indi.
vidual and corporate spending, in
vesting, and saving. For the two
combined, and interacting, de-
termine the level of production
the order of prices, the quantity
of employment, and the govern.
ment revenue at any given rate OF
taxes.
For some years before the war

The war has quickly turned

For at VI Day the American PEG

The threat arises from the 1ac1
that there is this huge accumula'
