It is now dangerous to give the senate the right of rejection on the mere statement that the person in question is obnoxious, if anything of legislative or judicial dignity is to be upheld. The President mu-- t have a free hand in sending men of his choice to the senate fur confirmation.

The fault lies in the tolerance of lawless conduct among educated and prominent poople; in the frequency with which law enforcement officials commit deeds as illegal as those they seek to end, and in the keakdown in rigorous prosecution by the prosecuting officers and the judges who preside. I would couple witli this arraignment a criticism of the failure of the penal system of the various states to keep abreast of modern methods in the care and treatment of the prisoners. They do not even keep pace in capacity with the number of prisoners they are receiving, with the result that overcrowding necessarily has resulted.

America is reaping the bitter reaction of a national economic spree in which every one has been trying to get something for nothing. The remedy is in a return to the Golden Pule and the Ten Commandments to honesty, and a restored confidence between man and man. Why poverty in the ricln-- t land on earth? Shall we follow Ilu-si- ii in her economic revolution? The very fact that such questions arc seriously proves that we have lost faith in American principles. It will he seen that behind external difficulties lie spiritual muses which need correction. We have thought more of money than of men, and in times of distress, millions walk the street without shelter and food. If legislatures would deal with this problem as strenuously as they consider distribution of political plums, we should not be in this predicament.

The newspaper lias shifted radically from the personal journalism of a quarter of a century ago, and today the newspapers render greater public service, because of the absence of the personal factor in journalism and the greater power they have of disseminating the news and serving the public. The journalist of the present day has vision far above the plane of former days and journalism has one of the highest professions. The journalist today holds an honorable position in society and because of his greater knowledge and efficiency is one of our most valued citizens in the conduct of public affairs. ,ui! , ic ,, ,t( d.

I am enough of an optimist to believe that industrial history will repeat itself and that the next fifty years will witness furtiur displme-men- t of labor, and the further development of many products and services which will atlord employment to those displaced and supply the wants of our people. But these bright prospects for the long-terfuture cannot obscure the fact that we are deep into one of the most severe depressions of our business history, and that labor and capital as well have suffered seriously from curtailed earnings and unemployment. In spite of this I am sure it will not be denied that there has been less actual distress ami less social disturbance than ever before under similar circumstances. Industry generally has shown an interest in its woikers of a quality never before seen in this or any other country. Labor's attitude as well has Wn a most enlightened one. This voluntary assumption on the part of industry, involving as it lias the finest type of surit and collective effort, has been one of the most important factors in carrying us thus far without serious distress or disturbance through a major depression. And this attitude on he part of industry toward its common problems seems to me to hold out the best hope of the future. 8 r GEORGE WIIARTON frt'" -- C MwOui AXashington. II K lr--pl v- j.

This quern was capable of grinding out anything that it was told to grind meat and drink and dainties of all sorts. It would grind lights and cutlery and tablecloths and gold even if it were told to do so. The poor man had a rich brother who, when he saw the luxuries with which the once indigent member of the family was now surrounded, curious and envious. "Whence in h l's name have you got all this wealth? he asked, and so persistent was he in his inquiries that lie finally wormed from ins brother the secret of the quein. Seeing its possibilities he was not satisfied until he had possessed himself of it, which he did upon the payment of a large sum of money. It was evening when the rich brother got the quern home, and next morning, it being the time of hay harvest, iie sent his wife out into the hay field to turn over the hay which was being cut that It might the more quickly dry, and he agreed to stay at home and get the dinner.
