Psalm 77: 13 and 14. -:o: Add similes: As revealing as gangster's strong box. :o: In spite of the long drought the politicians seem to find plenty of mud. :o:- Egg racketeering is being aired In New York, and Just on the face of it, it sounds rotten. :o: "What am I doing?" repeated the former Congressman, "why, I'm still working at $15 a week." :o: There probably is a reason why a hair dresser's permanent wave isn't made as permanent as a crime wave. :o: Business, we've heard, runs in cycles and every merchant is hoping it Jumps on a buy-cycle pretty soon. :o: High lights of memory after a sum mer vacation: Eating hot dogs, changing tires, and fighting mos quitoes. :o: Will Hayes says there is still a lack of dignity in the talkies. And in most of them there is a lack of sensible talk. -:o:- Reformers complain that modern children do not listen to their par ents. Certainly not. Jazz music is more entertaining. :o: The boy who indulged in a tree Eitting contest during the summer can try for an ear washing record when school starts. , :o: American breakfast foods, a news Item says, are becoming popular In Switzerland. And that's a cereal story we all like to read. :o: There are about 213,200 bachelors in London, latest statistics reveal. Placed end to end, of course, they etlll vould be in single file. :o: Director Woodcock is thinking of putting prohibition agents in snappy uniforms. Naturally, some caustic critics ' will now ask if they'll be "dressed to kill." :o: A communication to an afternoon contemporary complains that cars on the Kennedy Heights line are heated by electricity, and we pause, not long to question why bring that up? :o: A goodly number of our best citi- tens are returning from their sum mer vacations, devoutly hoping that the folks to whom they extended in-r vitations to visit them will not accept. DR. MILES' AmUi-Panim PSHUs When you are suffering HEADACHE and NEURALGIA Use Dr. MHes Anti - Pain Pills for prompt relief. Muscular Pains and Functional Pains even those so severe that they are mistaken for Rheumatism, Sci atica, Lumbago are relieved quick ly by Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills. 25 for 25 cents JJ ty s - j , . i are payable strictly in advance. Old General Good Times is about due home from his summer vacation. :o: The drought in some places seems to have raised a flourishing crop of profiteers. :o: It isn't hard to build a resort town. You Just stock up with silly souvenirs and changes too much. :o: The fact gambling has been stop ped at Saratoga shouldn't disturb women betters. They never had much on anway. :o: Some motor accidents are caused by laxity, some by carelessness, some by drunkenness, and some by pure cussed ness. :o: The crusade against unnecessary noises should begin by defeating a number of United States Senators for re-election. -:o:- Tardily, perhaps, we wonder whether this wasn't a good summer for Red Grange to have gene back into the ice business. -:o:- The Veteran Golfer Is inclined to minimize the extent of the drought damage and says that it gives the ball a very long roll. :o: Atchison, Kas., is placing Louse numbers on the curb. All one needs to read the number is the ability to see through a parked car. :o: A woman aviator has broken the record for making barrel rolls. Some how the feat doesn't make our mouth water like the rolls Aunt Hannah used to make. :o: Still, there's some compensation in the probability that if that whopper corn crop had materialized, we'd have had to endure a plague of endurance cornstalk sitters :o: One way Chicago can wipe out the deficit of its opera, which it has an nounced is over $550,000, is to cre ate a rival opera and let the racket take care of itself. -:o:- After all, why worry about the price of gas or increase of the auto privilege tax. Good tires were never cheaper than now. If you don't be- ieve it, turn to the advertisements. :o: A railroad's statement shows its fastest trains have fewer accidents than its slower trains. We can read ily understand a motor car driver must act quickly to hit a locomotive traveling ninety miles an hour. :o: War department statistics show that 37,569 American soldiers were killed in action during the World War. Statistics equally veracious show that 33,061 persons in this country were killed in automobile accidents during the year 1929. Can you laugh that off? You want prompt relief. Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills relieve the pains for which we recommend them. They do not upset the stom ach, cause constipation, or leave unpleasant after effects. A package in your medicine cab inet, pocket, or handbag, means fewer aches and pains, greater en joyment, more efficient work, lesa loss of time. Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills have been used with success for thirtyj years. Get them at your drag stare. Strange how the broadest state ments, generally originate in the nar rowest minds. :o: We suppose the parachute manu- facturers also advertise their prod- uct as 'good to the last drop." :o: The drought of 1930 will become another thing for which the Republi cans were to blame, two years hence. :o: Peace terms have been dictated by the incarcerated Mahatma in India, but it all sounds like a lot of Propa- Gandhi. -:o:- They broadcast a reception in Havana the other evening, and gave dry America a chance to hear the glasses clinking. :o: In his list of the men "who rule the United States, James W. Gerard has left out Joseph R. Grundy and Thomas Heflin. :o: The man who put over "Behavor- Ism" now has a Job in an advertising agency, wnlch snows genius is rec ognized by genius. :o: They say the dollar of today goes farther than the dollar of yesterday. Perhaps it is true we don't know. All we see Is the start. :o: When a man gets married he usu ally believes he has enough money to pay the bills. When a woman gets married she is sure she hasn't. :o: Marion Talley says that it is be cause her corn crop failed that she is going back to the opera. In search of more appreciative ears, no doubt. - :o: A favorable note in the outlook of the leather industry is seen in the! way motorists are wearing out shoes while walking to and from available parking places. :o: A toothpaste that removes the film rrom tne teetn may De an ngnt, Dut what we need is a hair oil that, when on the head, will remove the fog from the brain. :o:- Mark Twain, it was who said in effect that the weather is something the people talk about, but can do nothing about, and it kinda looks as if the Powers-that-Be in Washington are trying to make him out a liar. :o: It is a fortunate circumstance that time and full Investigation often re Y$a.ltbat;a condition is ..not so ser ious as was at first supposed. The census reports on unemployment have afforded no occasion to minimize that problem. :o There is every reason in sound common sense, good public policy and business expediency to continue in ef fect the reduction of 1 per cent on normal and corporation income taxes which was made last winter to apply to the current year. :o: "HOOVER'S GADFLY" In September's Scribner's Frank R. Kent, political correspondent for the Baltimore Sun, tells about the J work Charley Michelson is doing as I publicity man for the Democratic Na- I tional Committee. It is a laudatory article. Conferring the sobriquet of 'Hoover's gadfly," Mr. Kent says that I Ir. Michelson is doing the ablest job of political propaganda which mod- em Washington has witnessed. In - formed opinion everywhere will con- I firm that judgment. But Representative William R. Wood of Indiana, chairman of the Republican Congressional Commit- tee, professes to be horrified at this note in his criticism of the high-pres-of both parties have been employing I sure methods of certain industries Democratic plot to "undermine Mr. Hoover" and by some peculiar men- tal process is grateful to Mr. Kent That is what Mr. Mencken would for exposing the dastardly scheme, call "bilge." The national committee FAME Fame is a minotaur that takes its toll, Each year, of men and maids. Unpitying Of high young hope, of beauty at the Spring, It calls them to the sacrificial role. They answer, as the needle to the pole Though elders warn them, phophesying harm, They come, in dauntless files from field and farm, The labyrinthine city for their goal, Each one a Theseus, confident of power To overcome the waiting Mino taur A spear of song, a palette knife's quick dart. A dagger pen will pierce the monster's heart! Of what avail a cautious elder's word, When Fame has called to youth, and youth has heard? Roselle Mercier Montgomery in the New York Times. publicity men for a long time. Such publicity agents, as Mr. Kent cor rectly observes, are usually fourth or fifth rate journalists. In Mr. Mich- elson the Democratic National Com- mittee obtained the services of a top- notcher. This is Mr. Kent's estimate lof him: Mr. Michelson is a man of high intelligence and unques tioned character, a combination so rarely found on a partr pay roll as to be practically non existent. He comes of a disting uished family and has had a long and varied experience as a newspaper man and political writer. For many years he was chief of the Washington Bureau of the New York World, and he can write. He is a member of the Gridiron Club and is popu lar among the hundreds of news paper correspondents in Wash ington .nearly all of whom are his friends. That is hardly the photograph of the villain Mr. Wood pictures. In deed the only accurate statement in Wood's diatribe is the "large salary" Mr. Michelson receives. It is 525,- 000 a year. Mr. Raskob furnishes th money. It is probably the best in vestment a Democratic National Com mittee ever made. Certainly Mr Michelson is earning every cent of it. And Mr. Raskob, as paymaster more of a political novice even than Mr. Hoover, seems to be an apte pupil. The job, we are told, Is for Mr Michelson, not only a gainful occu pation but a labor or love. Tne blun ders of the Hoover administration the indecision, inaction, retractions -the whole Odyssey of errors has been faithfully and brilliantly re ported by the Michelson typewriter, the "words, music and ideas" being accredited to Democratic leaders in the Senate and House. But if Charley Michelson has cap tured the title, say, of the "Public ity Man of the Century," some ac I knowledgment should be made to Mr Hoover for his magnificent, if un witting, collaboration. For all his genius Mr. Michelson could never bave compiled the diary except for the cargoes of material the adminis tration has suplied. It will be agreed, we feel sure, that if the Hoover of the campaign illu sion has disappeared the explanation is found in the Hoover who retreated at the first snarl of the machine from his high position on judicial appoint ments; in the Hoover of the tariff surrender; in the Hoover of the Park er nomination; in the Hoover of the Huston choice and miserable se quence; in the Hoover of unemploy ment fictions proffered as statistics; in the Hoover of that "fat capon tim idity" which William Allen White attceraeu 1U luw ""lus wim,u Vl the superman myth. it is Mr. Hoover mat nas aemronea Mr. Hoover. Charles Michelson is no Cataline. He is, emphatically, the Tacitus of the debacle. :o: STABILITY IN INDUSTRY It is significant that employers and labor officials should be coming gradually to a uniform view of the essential problem before them. In a recent interview William Green, Pres ident of the American Federation of Labor, .stresses the need for stabil izing production as the real key to preventing unemployment. In this be makes common cause with the employers of large numbers of work- ers who today are making extraor dinary efforts to level out the flue tuations in production, which are costly for owners, managers and workers of industry alike Mr. Green also strikes a sound which have boomed the markets un duly by forcing dealers to take more good than they could dispose of, only to bring greater depression at a later time. False optimism of this sort is as bad as the fear that sometimes retards business recovery, Perhaps Mr. Green's most substan tial contribution to the contempor ary problem of industry, however, is his stress on the need for a voca tional guidance service, in connec tion with Federal or state employ ment services. The last ten years haye seen a vast quickening of the pace of industry in America. They have seen astonishingly swift chang es in production, in which whole in dustries have sprung into life, while others have fallen to a mere frac tion of their former size This has brought about the unem ployment of many thousands of men, las their Jobs vanished through tech nical changes in production. To en able these 'men and women to find other work more is needed than a mere employment agency. There must be intelligent advice, to enable them to capitalize on their previous ex perience and to find other jobs that are in keeping with their capacities. If such a system of vocational guidance in connection with public employment services appears to be unduly paternalistic, and out of har- mony with our vaunted American in dividualism, let it be remembered that it is an alternative to the "dole which surely is less in harmony with American tradition and character. -:o:- C0WARDICE IN ILLINOIS If courage Is the secret of freedom, the people of Illinois will never be freed from the tyranny of the Anti Saloon League either by the Republi can party or the Republican press. It is fair to assume that to get rid of the stringent dry laws in Illi- nois and put the State on record tor repeal of the eighteenth amendment is more important than the imme- . . . , . , dlate fortunes of either of the great parties; but one would not think so if there were no better index t" poli- tical and social values in Illinois than the sophistries of the Rpublican State platform and its candidate for the United States Senate or the antics of party journals like the Chicago Tri bune. We had hoped to see Dotn partiea turn upon their tormentors in TiHnnia as both Thirties have done In , , n-v i,ew jer!5ey auu lue oiaic U1 """ ington. we were narciy prepareu iu see newspapers like the Chicago Tri- bune. which are iust as well aware as we are of the plight of Illinois. ... abjectly accept either Mrs. McCor- mick or the Republican btate piai- form upon anything less than an out- rieht declaration aerainst Drohibition. . ... . , , . ,,0 Yet that is precisely hat they are aoing, noiwunsianuing oi and the Democratic party have both come out flatly against prohibition, The Tribune complains bitterly of . , . . - me OLiiie ueiug 111 iuc .iun-uco the Anti-Saloon League, and It ex- presses the conviction that even to haijo pnnp en far na Mrs. McCormick , o i ,vi ov o I1U l"c to De regaraea as a paniai aeuar ation of freedom.

The Re publicans will await popular in structions and follow them. The opposition to prohibition In the party had to compromise with the dry rural element, but It is a compromise which is a de cided success against dry coer cion in Republican councils. This is the first party decision on prohibition which has not been dictated by the Anti-Saloon League and wholly accept able to it. That is not, we respectfully sub- mit. the stand of either a courageous party or a courageous press. It is not th wnv nnv hattlf la won. The neo- ti . j or. pie of Illinois need the party and press to rally them out or tneir ig- noble servitude to the Anti-Saloon tiip Thov nepd the nartv and press to arouse them to a realization that they have bartered their liber- ties away for a mythical bauble. It would be a proper rebuke to Buch cowardice if the people accepted the leadership of Col. Lewis and the Dem ocrats. Perhaps, If that is the con- sequence of the disgraceful situation n Illinois, the Republican party and the Tribune will learn the difference between positive leadership and that receptive cowardice in which the party, its candidates and its press await the revolt of a bedeviled peo ple.
