Undoubtedly it has been passed around. :o: There is a lot of unnecessary dis cussion about dieting. The way to meet an increasing weight comfort ably is not to diet, but to have your clothing made larger. :o: The teeth and bones of an ice-age mammoth were found under a golf links in New Jersey. We duffers must give a cup to the man who made that colossal excavation. :o: It's seldom you see a football game eo generally satisfactory as the one between Kansas and Notre Dame last Saturday. So far as we can learn, neither coach has been threatened with discharge. :o: The head of the Bank of England says he approaches the problems of depression "not only in ignorance, but in humility." Some of our states men have only to develop a little humility to attack the problems with equal assurance. :o: We had a dream the other night. It musta been that pumpkin pie. But we saw a flotilla of freight boats coming up the Missouri river with a pay load. And there in the flag boat was a 100-piece band representing the middle west railroads, playing, "Happy Days Are Here Again." :o: Small-town stuff" has become a by-word, applied contemptuously. But the man or woman in the small town who is making both ends meet and is laying by a dollar now and then can afford to smile audibly at Eome of the "big-town stuff" of these strenuous days. Some of the bright est men and women in the big cities today are products of the small town. Small-town stuff" i3 that from which j great men are made. Stronger Than He Was at Twenty FIFTY-FIVE yean old, and still going strong! Do you want the secret of such Titality? It isn't what you eat. or any tonic you take. It's something anyone can do something you can start today and see results in a week! All you do is give your vital organs the right stimulant. A famous doctor discovered the way to stimulate a sluggish system to new energy. It brings fresh vigor to every organ. Being a physician's prescription, it's quite harmless. Tell your druggist you want a bottle of Dr. Caldwell's syrup pepsin. Get the benefit of its fresh laxative herbs, active senna, and that pure pepsin. Get that lazy liver to work, those stagnant bowels into action.

' :o: Maybe if there were more frog skins in circulation there would be less croaking. :o: There isn't much chance that im mediate beer will be any more im mediate than near-beer is near. :o: We read of a farmer who wants the country to take his place for a poor-farm site so he won't have to move. :o: Socialism would be fairer, any way. Now all of us work for the government, and it support only part of us. :o: Anyway, it takes a commendable humility to lose faith in leaders be cause they have no more sense than we have. :o: We dislike to disillusion you, but that corner around which they now say prosperity is turning isn t lo cated on Easy Street. : k Topeka is well prepared to give Charlie Curtis a royal welcome back home from a term in the vice-presidency. The act has been well and frequently rehearsed. :o: 6ti.ll, that San Francisco janitor who fell into a barrel of indelinlf ink might pick up a pretty penny hiring himself out to the visiting literati as local color. :o: Tnere are going to be enough post masters out of jobs in a few months to make a pretty fair Postmasters' Expe ditionary Force with a bonus march to Washington and every thing. :o: A correspondence school is offering to inmates of prisons a special course in writing. In a way, this school has the same idea we've had for a long time that there are not enough writers in Jail. :o: With a popular brand of 5-cent ci gar cutting its price to three for ten cents, only to be outdone by competi tors who flooded the market with for mer 5-centers selling twe-for-five, it seems that what the good 5-ccnt cigar needs right now is a country. poison so long as it is permitted to remain in the system. The new energy men and women feel before one bottle of Dr. Caldweirs syrup pepsin has been used up is proof of now much the system needs this help. Get a bottle of this delicious syrup and let it end that constant worry about the condition of the bowels. Spare the children those bilious days that make them miser able. Save your household from the use of cathartics which lead to chronic constipation. And guard against auto-intoxication as you grow older. Dr. Caldwell's syrup pepsin is such a well known preparation you can get it wherever drugs are sold and it isn't expensive. COURT IS MINDFUL OF HUMAN RIGHTS Yesterday's decision by the su preme court ordering a new trial for the seven Negroes under sentence of death in Alabama turned wholly up on "due process of law." The right to it in all matters of affecting life and property is guaranteed by the constitution to the humblest citizen of the United States. Other alieged grounds of appeal were urged upon the supreme court, but all of them were brushed aside. Did the convict ed youths have a fair trial? That was the question into which the su preme court looked painstakingly, assembling all the relevant facts, be fore it decided in the negative. The opinion was written by Justice Suth erland, who has often been called the most "reactionary" member of the supreme court, so that it cannot be set down to a weak sentimentalism. Neither can it have been due to the outcry in Washington and in other cities, as well as in Moscow and by European communists, asserting than a spirit of wicked class prejudice pervades the United States, and that here no justice can be had for the poor an dignorant. Taking no notice of all this, the supreme court, with only two judges dissenting, found that the ordinary methods of a fair trial had not been followed in the state courts, and that therefore a new trial, under proper safeguards, must be given the seven Negroes. Nothing was said one way or the other about their guilt or innocence. Only, if they were guilty, the fact must be proved by fair and equitable procedure in court. However people may feel about the case itself, there will be, we believe, general approval of the lofty posi tion taken by the majority of the supreme court. That great tribunal appears once more as mindful of hu man rights. Of its jurisdiction it may be said, in the well-known words of Hooker praising the ideal of law, that the least may feel that they are under its care, just as the greatest may know that they are not exempt from its power. It is not often that we see the issue of justice to the lowliest, and possibly mostib taking passage to Europe on a unworthy, so clearly appearing in an important judicial decision. It ought to abate the rancor of extreme radicals, while confirming the faith cf the American people in the sound ness of their institutions and espec ially in the integrity of their courts. New York Times. IF LEADERS WERE FRANK If at any time during the last 12 hectic years those in high command politically who should know all the tragic facts had said in public what they have all been saying to one an other confidentially over luncheon, tea and dinner tables, we should be nearer that healthy understanding of what ails the world, which must precede any real amelioration cf con ditions. Instead of delusive generalities i stalling with Dawes and Young plans) they might have blurted out what has been in the back of their minds; they might have said some thing like this: "Men and women of this troubled world, it is useless to pretend any longer and too dangerous. The old iuik.u.;. - wuii t v.uiiv. ucrnnui; can c be made to pay the entire cost of the international spree or any consider able part of it. We can't go armed to the teeth and prate of our long ings for peace. We can't get rich again by simply refusing to buy one another's goods. We can't sit for ever on the lid of potential revolu tion while our peoples grow hun grier and more desperate each year. "One awful mistake was, made at Versailles and a thousand since. We propose now to tear up that cured treaty and begin over, sincerely. And from now on we propose to tell the world what we know as fast as we know it." What would happen? Would the French invade Germany again to gather their rainbow sold? Would the people of these United States send three million more bonus-begging legionnaires back to Europe to collect our loans? Never! Just noth ing at all would happen, except that everybody everywhere would sign and say: "Well, we knew it was all make-believe. Now let us forget it and go to work." The hush-hushers and the bitter enders alike would be stilled forever, once what every informed person has realized for years was out in the open, told in creaming headlines un til it no longer hurt. Robert Her- rick in Harper's Magazine. :o: A friend is in a quandary. He uses store teeth and his present plates are loose and cracked and he does not feel able to buy a new set. The de pression is hitting us in many dif ferent manners and directions. THE PEO: LE CAN RULE "After all," a cynic, "the people have to be ruled by somebody. The choice is between their being ruled by those who want money and will get it by exploiting them or by those who want votes and will get them by fooling voters. It is rule by 'special interests' or by demagogues. Of the two evils I prefer the special inter ests." But is that the choice? Certainly it is, if we will neither care nor think. The exploiters can put up campaign funds, organize political committees and secure the services of expert propagandists. They will rule us for their profit if we are lazy enough to let them. Of if in reaction against them we get too exited the demagogue puts in his work. He is perfervid in his expressions of sympathy with hte less fortunate, but very vague about what he will do for them. Or he of fers them quack remedies which promise them what they want, but could not be fulfilled. In the guise of food he presents them bait. If we are indolent enough for the one or gullible enough for the other they will save us the trouble of ruling ourselves. The remedy, then, is in ourselves. Democracy will work if we work it. Everything else will work whether we work it or not. The electric light will come on when you rush the button am1 you do not need to know how or why. The water flows at the turn of the faucet. Under our me chanized society and the division of labor most of life is that way. But not government. That, under a democracy, will be run by and for the poople if the people are willing to take the trouble to do it. If they do not, somebody else will run it by and for himself. The test is of the people. San Francisco Chronicle. :o: NEW TARHEEL SENATOR It was while he was a student in Chapel Hill that he (Robert R. Reyn olds, democratic candidate for the United States senate in North Caro lina) first qualified as a vagabond cattle boat, a. id he repeated this ven turc so often that he came to be known as "Cattle Boat Bob." Cur ious, restless, adventurous, avid for new scenes and strange experiences, he has rpi:t a great part of his life beating about the world. Once, dead broke out west, he earned one hundred dollars by stay ing in the ring five rounds with a prize fighter. Once he was in an afray with a gang of ruffians in Paris For a while he sold patent med:r:nes. Reynolds will be the first senator from North Carolina whotio faul; to be four.d with them. has ever been anywhere outside of his own country. He has been able seaman, cattle beat hand, professional wrestler, athletic instructor, professional foot ball player, hobo, patent-medicine salesman, book agent, domestic serv ant, author, newspaper man, lawyer, movie magnate, actor, traveler and now, as a final detail, he will tie United States senator. At 4 7 Robert R. Reynolds looks 47. But he does not act it. He is an erect, vigorous man. He is simple and folksy and enormously enthus iastic about the fact of living. He meets voters like a friend and a good fellow without a trace of the pomp ous patriot. In the senate he will be much the same. He has the myster ious quality of making people de voted to him. One man came away from the enthusiastic Reynolds speak ing in Raleigh puzzled by Reynolds' power. Then he phrased it in mod ern terms. "That man." he said, "has politi ial sex appeal." Josephus Baniels, in Raleigh News and Observer. :o: THE LAST "LAME DUCK" SESSION er j The session of congres that will j convene next month is popularly called the "lame duck" session. For it will include many senators and representatives who were defeated in the primaries or in Tuesday's elec tion. Their term of office will con tinue to March 4, and under exist ing conditions, the next congress elected Tuesday would not assemble in regular session until December, 1933. The situation, however, is likely to be upset by the pending "lame duck" amendment to the Constitution. This amendment already has been ratified by seventeen states, and it is ex pected to be ratified by nineteen more the necessary thirty-six be fore next summer. It will go into ef fect on the October 15 following its adoption. In that event the first regular ses sion of the new congress will not convene until January 3, 1934. There will be no second regular session of the next congress, inasmuch as the congress to be elected in November, 1934. will assemble in January, 1935. 25 ounces for25t ECONOMICAL AND EFFICIENT Double Tested Double Action' So any session of the new congress after its first regular session will be a special session. The congress that will begin its regular session Janu ary S. 1933, will be the one to be elected in November, 1934. Also under the lame duck amend ment, the term of the president elect ed Tuesday will be shortened by six weeks. It will expire not March 4, 1937. but January 20, 1937. a lit tle more than two months after the election of 193C. The purpose of the amendment is to allow the newly elected president and congressmen to assume office without the long wait now neces sary. :o: TAKING ON A NEW PILOT The Register has not in the course of the campaign at any time said that the election of Governor Roosevelt would demoralize the country, it sees no reason whatever to think now that the governor's election will. The Register favored President Hoover principally because of its be lief that President Hoover is the abler man. Governor Roosevelt is going to have a chance to demonstrate thai he is abler than he was estimated to be abler than his hazy speeches and want of any concrete program that he was willing to present to the people Indicated him to be. And the Register is perfectly cheery about conceding that as strategy the gover nor's preference for stating grnera! attitudes instead of specific propos als seems to have been superb. So far as the governor's general attitudes are concerned, there is lit- And in those few things with ref erence to which he approached the specific, there is not much ground for worry. Consider the tariff for example. Despite all the thur. tiering and luuiitvi-iuuuut'j iir-, nit liu. ii it ilia, i . . -. .. -. .. .. ... ..; . . , ..... i. , . t . . . tho ramnriirn pnpHnllv in if- plnq - ing stages (when President Hoover was ab!f- to boast that he had driven his opponent fro.n his original posi tion), showed no great difference be tween the two parties. Even if Gov ernor Roosevelt had not himself been persuaded to declare for pre thorough protection, every political , student knows that his party could no more be held in line for radical tariff disarmament than the man in the moon could ba made to jump through hoops. So far as rate3 are concerned, both parties are on record for protection based on difference in cost of pro duction. A candid democrat might say that, at most, his charge against the republicans is that they talk about such a basis but in practice adopt rates that are materially high- The one real difference between the two parties on tho tariff in this campaign, simmering everything down, seems to be that the demo crats are favorably inclined toward reciprocal tariff-reducing treaties as a practical means of starting the trend of all tariffs throughout the world modestly downward, while tne republicans doubt the workability and desirability of such a method. Yet republicans in years not so ex tremely far back have more than flirted with the same idea. One thing about the governor's campaign that, in the light of his election, may be hopefully remem bered is that he has stressed the im portance of farm buying power, that he has declared for adopting some plan to make tariff benefits effective all the way down the line of agricul tural products, anaihat he has indi cated his sincerity of purpose by tell ing it to the east as well as the west. The Register takes back nothing of its criticisms of th indefiniteness of what the governor chose to call, for campaign purposes, his "farm program." But it is all for the gen- eral pledge to put farm interests in j the lead. It will await, hopefully, the translating cf that general pledgs into definite and practical ac-; Mon. One other thing seems to this news paper to demand the heaviest stress.; That is the great desirability of! eciirf no t ho (-iintv o o r till' character of the Roosevelt cabinet, of establishing speedy informal co operation between the present and the coming administration, or per mitting the government to carry on both as to domstic and foreign policy with no four-month hiatus, and of giving at th2 earliest nosrible mo- ment a clear indication of purpose : Iaid before the 10th day of Novom ... , . .
