Cincinnati Enquirer. :o: The fact Kingsford-Smith plans to pet married soon suggests that he, ike Lindbergh wants to put on heirs. io: The return of the Byrd party from (the South Polar regions served as a fine prelude to the celebration of the Fourth of July. :o: A great fuss was made when a Hindu girl of 16 was jailed, but a lot of our little flappers might be helped by such treatment. :o: As city bossing goes, it must be a satisfaction to have things so or ganized that it is not necessary to be on the ground all the time. :o: Still an old dame rouging and painting in order not to look her age isn't one bit more silly than an old grandpa trying not to act his age. :o: Some of the back counties are dis turbed because the agricultural school is working on a cobless corn. Fears are felt for the meerschum industry. :o: 1 The chief trouble with senatorial primary expenditures is not the huge Bums disbursed, but what the United States Senate usually gets for the money. :o: The two flying farmer boys who remained aloft over Chicago for twenty-three days report that they did not observe any Hoover prosperity in the upper air regions. : ov Babies are about the most wonder ful things in the world. The tender of heart melt in their unknowing presence and even the hard-boiled Boften to their smiles and gurgles. ;o:- The prohibition enforcement bu reau was moved from the treasury de partment to the department of Jus tice at Washington on July 1st, but local consumers declare that thus far the change has not affected the price of corn liquor or improved its quality. - " ' - " J u j Everybody has it once in a ncauowi while.

When an automobile wrecks a train, that will be news! :o: What our country needs just now is an army of occupation recruited up to full wartime strength. :o: Germany is planning to impose a special tax cn bachelors and unmar ried women. Liberty comes high but some folks must have it. :o: Kingsford-Smith wants to sell his plane for enough money so he can afford to get married. No doubt he'll try for a non stop flight. :o: Young Stribling should beware of winning fights in the jaw. It's a thing like this nowadays that makes a boxer appear eccentric. :o: It is reported the Byrd expedition returned with debts amounting to $100,000. They'll be expected, no doubt, to pay in cold cash. :o: After all. man is nothing but a worm. He comes into the world, wig gles along for awhile in the dust, and then some "chicken" gets him. :o: The movies are great institutions. They give the family a place to go after dark, and dad sit at home in peace and read or listen to the radio The return of horses is being urged now as a more economical means of transDortation than the motor. P.ut the problem of shoes will still be with us. :o: Fortunately for Admiral Byrd, he returned from the South Pole too late to be deluged with honorary de grees from colleges at June com mencement exercises. :o: The plane that made the record drop in our opinion is the one built last year for the Schneider cup races at a cost of fSO.OOO and put up for sale the other day for $1. :o: Nobody knows more about real sorrow and bitter disappointment I than a stylish stout who finds she just can't squeeze into a size smaller after her month of fasting, rolling and doping. :o: Billie Dove, darling of the movies, has been granted a divorce. Unless the camera man is an outrageous flatterer, Billie still possesses a plen titude of pulchritude, and ought to find it easy to put the matrimonial yoke on a new husband. FIFTEEN MONTHS OF CONGRESS After nearly 15 months of con tinuous work, the Seventy-first Con gress has adjourned. It has some use ful new legislation to its credit. It increased Federal appropriations for rivers and harbors. It extended the public buildings program. It increas ed the amount given in Federal aid to state highway construction. It made certain minor changes in Gov ernment organization. It transferred the prohibition unit from the Treas ury Department to the Department of Justice. It created a Federal Board of Parole. It replaced the ex officio Federal Power Commission with an independent board of three full-time members. It would have been better had it stopped there, but it did not. Yield ing to the pressure of special inter ests, it enacted a number of ' laws which can only do harm to the vast body of our citizens. It undertook to console the stock speculator for his losses in the market crash by giving him a reduction of $160,000,000 in his income tax, an amount which might far better have been expended for the relief of unemployment. It overrode a Presidential veto to in crease the pensions paid to veterans of the Spanish-American War. It provided compensation for the World War veterans for disabilities not in curred in the service, abandoning the sound principle of war risk insurance and preparing the way for a general pension system which will pauperize the ex-service man and exploit the tax payer. In the special session, it passed the agricultural marketing act creating the Federal Farm Board which was to aid agriculture in the orderly marketing of crops. This agency, with the approval of the President, has attempted to boost the price of wheat by purchasing it in quantity from co-operative associa tions and holding it off the market. It now holds some 50,000,000 bush els of last year's wheat which it bought at $1.18 to $1.25 and will have to sell at less than 90 cents a bushel. The co-operatives will gain, but the money they gain will be tak en out of the tax payer's pocket. The Seventy-first Congress will be principally remembered for . the Smoot-Hawley tariff act. Here, again, was the general welfare sacrificed to special interest and political exped iency. It is bad legislation. It is legislation which damages the con sumer, the farmer, the exporter, the importer, the foreign investor, the majority of our people. It is legisla tion which makes for international ill will and delays the economic re construction of the world. It was passed solely in the interest of fav ored minority groups with the cal lous indifference to the well-being of the average man. The average man has gotten little from Congress in the past year and a quarter. The Norris bill for Gov ernment operation of Muscle Shoals, which might have made possible a re duction in power rates, was not al lowed to pass. Of the three bills in troduced for the relief of unemploy ment, the one providing for the col lection of statistics was passed, the one providing for the long-range planning of public works was passed only in an emasculated form, the one creating a system of public em ployment exchanges was killed in the House. The recent session has dimmed Mr. Hoover's luster. He asked the farm relief legislation which would not involve the Government in buy and selling and fixing the prices of prod ucts. He got a Farm Board which is attempting to fix prices by buying products wholesale to sell them at a loss. He asked for a limited revision of the tariff in the interest of agri culture. He got a general upward revision in the interest of favored in dustries and resorted to disingenuous praise of the flexible clause in order to save his face. He repeatedly de nounced war compensation plans which would lead to a general pen sion Rvstpm and then signed a bill which will do that very thing. In spite of all his talk of relief for unemployment, he made no move paid no word to get the Wagner bill for unemployment exchanges out of committee. The record of the Seventy-first Congress is one in which neither he nor his party can take pride. St. Louis Post-Dispatch. :o: The presidential vaction isn't much of a vacation, in the sense of sur cease from the cares of state and es cape from people. The fierce light that beats upon the chief executive follows him wherever he goes and modern means of communication keep him in constant communication with Washineton. There is change in scene but little change in occupation for the president. :o: If old Lycurgus is keeping track of things he is doubtless smiling ap provingly on those Hunters of Sparta BACK OF NATURE A great scientist in attendance at the recent impressive Scientific Con gress held in Chicago takes us back to spiritual fundamentals. Professor Compton is a man who works with electrons and atoms, but he does not reject the message of the stars, nor a consideration of the trou bles of mankind. He is an apostle of the new physics, but he admits mind may act on matter, and suggests that the thoughts of men are perhaps the most important things in the world. Thus he finds meaning in human life. He does not believe in the me chanistic view of mans consciousness. He recognizes that there is room for an effective intelligence behind the phenomena of nature. He troubles not at all about the old evolutionary theory, nor does he see the world of today developing at random out of atomic chaos. He declares that the evidence is strongly suggestive of a directive intelligence, a purpose, back of everything. The goal which to him appears reasonable is the creation of intelligent minds. In plain words, the master physi cist concludes that God is. This con clusion is emphasized by one of the last declarations of Steinmetz, who said that the most important work for scientists during the next fifty years would be concerned with spir itual things. And an English Bishop has indicated the possibility of a theological trend away from dogma and outworn beliefs by suggesting recently that scientists declare a ten- im Cr that the thAo- ciii luuiaiuiiuuit - -- J I logians mignt nave a cnance to eaten up with them. Professor Compton believes that it may take this long for some of the new schools of psy- rAr, n co Whnt i nlrpnrlv nccpnt- 61 J ' ' ' I ed in physics, as their conclusions are based on discarded nypotnesis. But still the stars whisper a mes- nee and the soul of man aspires and yearns to learn the secrets of their immemorial tale. :o: UNCLE SAM'S OLD DEBTS Uncle Sam, like many Individuals, is often slow in paying his debts but he always pays them. Sometimes the check comes after the creditors have drifted off into dreamless dust but it invariably comes. During the Spanish-American wa; a troop of cavalry raided the water melon patch of a negro farmer near Dayton, Ohio. It was a complete job. Nary a watermelon was left in the patch. A few days ago the treasury de- nartment sent to the son or tne negro farmer, now Janitor of the Fed eral building at Tampa, Fla., a vouch er for $150 in payment for water melons consumed thirty-two years ago. Before the measure was presented to House and Senate mathematicians at Washington went into a huddle over the vast economic changes that have taken place since 1898, and fi nally agreed that $150 would be a fair price, although much larger than the darkey's melon crop could have been sold for at that time. -io: FAEMEB. DISAPPEARING Time was wnen tne farmer was a typical figure and he bore his trade mark so prominently that he was easily identified.

The nres- ent day farmer is no more to be re cognized by his attire than an oyster would be to one who never saw one except in the shell. In fact the farm er appears to be passing out of the picture altogether. Progress practically has done away with the innocent rube of other days and economic causes are gradually removing his successor.

Thank God for one more life my dear, With all its dreams of gold! When with our little Billie to love The skies turn sweet again, And in the sunlight of the day We soon forgot the rain; A little life that did lean on us And longs to fill its part. Thank God for a little Billie to love While love still rules the heart! When with our little Billie to love, The little cares seemed less, The echo of his childish laugh Had such a way to bless; More human beauty fills the earth And softer grows the strife. Thank God for prayer and one more guarding angel Little Billie was given us to love But God took him in his care And will be waiting in God's arms For father, mother and brother To enter that beautiful City of Gold.
