Still believing in the power of hate to heal and cure after it has been discredited for 2000 years Ilste wll never cure anything. It only destroys. It destroy! both the hater and the hated. The vendors of hate are as sure to destroy themselves aa the sun is to rise. It never saved a soul and never will. But here is what it will do: Being rampant in the world it will cause great hosts of people to destroy other great hosts of people. It will make an end of the nations that use it and rely on it It will overturn civilisation. It will starve the aged and the widows and the orphans. It will burn cities and gas to death the innocents. It is a black scourge that emanates from the infernal pit. LOVE is the only cure. Not narrow personal love, but the broad, invigorating, soulful love of humanity, love of all mankind. If men say they love God and hate any of their fellows they are liars, according to the bible. Only love can save. It would make life a paradise. CUNNINGLY DEVISED RESPECTABILITY Theyliquor traffic is the parent of most of the evilBand infamies that beset humanity. Time was when it had a most hideous mien. But today it is glossed over with respectability which makes it all the more dangerous. Good, prominent. Christian men have been appointed and well salaried to manage the sale and distribution of the Devils brew in order to lend respectability, which was the purpose of the manufacturers and wily politicians. This gives far greater license for indulgence than did the old way when the traffickers in drink partook more of the nature of their business, which then had a cloak of vice over it much thicker than the present veneer of respectability. So in this day it is not at all to lay at the door of this cunningly arranged respectability all the crimes and villanies and infamies that follow in the wake of the liquor traffic. If it were only the physical bodies of men, women and children that were being wrecked it would not be so bad, but the evil power back of the infamous business is seeing to it that it destroys the very souls of those who indulge to excess. d hot-foot- ed PLAIN STEALING and LEGALIZED'STEALING How quickly and ruthleidy men end boys who steal small Mime of money are sent to jail for long terms.

Hoovers administration could not carry on No doubt the system under Pres. Roosevelt is cutting in on the profits of the few and what do we hear? Dictator: Bank, ruptcy.

A days travel in any direction will bring you to projects where money has been spent to build and improve and thus become a benefit to us and to the future. Never in any administration has more sincerity and interest in human welfare been shown. It seems the conservatives view all progress as destructive and tell us that the country is going to the dogs. This same idea was going the rounds when I was a boy in the horse and buggy days. My brother bought a surrey, and my grandfather said it was a vehicle of destruction. Since then we have seen the automobile, the airplane and other forms of progress. But we still have the reactionaries sending us to the dogs.

J. C. C. hearings disclose that Canadians have grabbed the shipment of the bulk of American-grow- n wheat. WASHINGTON. It is now obvious that John Naneo Garner is a real candidate for the Democratic nomination for President next year whether President Roosevelt chooses to run for a third term or not Incidentally, there is one mystery about Garner which ought to be cleared up right now. Ho is far from being sphinx, Just as Calvin Coolidge wee far from being a sphinx. But Garner is end Coolidge was protected from quotation by a simple rule governing hie relations with newspaper men. Coolidge would talk to them, and let hie views be stated, but under no circumstances could quotation marks be used. It wee to get around thie difficulty that the newspaper men, while Coolidge wee President, invented the mythical "White House Spokesman." Lota of people throughout the country assumed that there rest ly wee a "Spokesman " They were right It wai Calvin Coolidge. Just so, in the present instance, when newspaper men hear that Garner is advocating some thing, or doing something, and ask him about It, they cannot put quotation marks around what Gamer says in reply, But they can print the answers, and they can say that Gamer acid them. In fact sometimes 'they stretch it a bit for Gamer very obviously has another political rule In addition to avoiding direct quotations, which is that he denies nothing. There was a slip-u-p on this, incidentally, s few days ago in connection with the Hatch bill to outlaw participation in the election of government workers in the elecflone of federal officers (the original bin would have made possible participation in primaries and the election of delegatee to national eanventtone as well). A young reporter assumed because Garner did not say ha could not be quoted ae saying fills bill would bo Taw before we quit" that it wee all right to quote him. So he did. Never Amy Difficulty iis Finding Hew Gamer Stands But while the (rid New York World attacked Coolidge bitterly for putting out propaganda under quotation marks assigned to the 'White House Spokesman" present critics of Gamer, in magazine articles and elsewhere, are attacking the vice president on the other flank. They ere assuming that he really never says anything. Naturally Gamer's other rule, about no dentals, protecta them in this inaccuracy, A denial would sound sort of silly any- But the truth is that any reputable newspaper man in Washington has very little difficulty in finding out where Gamer stands on anything: though he will come home without the bacon if hie editor instate on quotation marks. Another type of comment from New Deal sources which Gamer has had to take, or break hie rule by denying, la that he is really in fun sympathy with the New Deal, and that an the newspaper itories about hie being the brains behind some of Deal strategy on Capithe anti-Netol Hill arc the bunk. This has about ended, however, for the simple reason that It has been so obvious what Gamer did in the court fight hie attitude about letting tho cattle get a little fat on them," referring to business, (flits wee said to the President face to fees by Gamer more than n year ago and wee quoted to newspaper men by others present) and w hie known views end activities in other controversies, that to write any more about hie being a 188 per cent New Dealer would merely make the writer absurd. Try to Prevent Opening Vp Of General Tax Situation Democratic leaders in congress are doing their utmost to prevent any further opening up of the general tax situation. For instance. Chairman Robert Dough ton of the house ways and means committee has been flooded with requeits for a brief hearing from various industries which are being subjected to special taxation. Just ae radios (5 per cent), Dough ton has crisply told one and all that there ta no desire to hear testimony on this, and baa refused requests even tor es brief a period as IB minutes. (This happens to be the time the radio industry requested.)

"You know perfectly well you could not All we could do get anywhere. would be to decide that as between tha purchase of an article to save the good wifes beck and radio tha government had no choice but to encourage the washing machine. Business Interests Hold Their Fire for the Senate y As a matter of foci; however, most business interests having on idea that they might get somewhere in flie tax changes are not figuring on tha house at all. They era holding their fire for the senate. There are two reasons for this. One ta that the house ta determined to rush some sort of tax bill through. Until that ta done the business Interests wont know exactly what they have to fight against, and what to fight for. For example, if their proposition ta contained in the house bill es It is passed, then all they have to do ta to watch to see that tho senate does not strike it out Anyway, they would have a chance in conference when the drafts of the bills as passed by tha house and senate are adjusted by the conferee!. If their proposition ta not contained in the house draft, then they will have more time, and more opportunity, to work for a change by the senators.

Freight Hearing Nobody paid much attention tp hearings conducted by the interstate commerce com miss ten in which the operators on tha (rid Eric canal fire New York Barge canal to be exact protested against the cut in freight rates on grain by the railroads bom New York to Buffalo. Actually Jha hearings brought out some facts which ere not only highly important to everybody in thie country who pays taxes, but have a very definite bearing on several major proposals in the offing, Including the St Lawrence seaway, TV A. river development ail over the country, public power, etc. What the railroads did was to reduce the rata per bushel on grain from Buffalo to New York from 6.7 cents to 5 cents Hat The canal operators claimed that this would ruin them that they had to have differential under the railroad rates because of the longer time required, higher insurance, etc. The funny part of the whole business ta that the railroads didnt make that cut in grain rates this summer in order tor take business from the Barge canaL They did it to get some of the bus inns back which the Canadians have been taking bom them, and taking, Incidentally, without the aid of a St Lawrence seaway, for which Uncle Sam would pay half the cost Canadians Grab Shipment Wheat Of A merican-Grow-n Last year, it was testified, 77,000,-80- 0 bushels of American wheat were hipped abroad through Canadian ports, ae against only 30,000,000 bushels shipped via United States porta. Tlie percentage of wheat which moved through the United States porta to export in 1932 was 71 In 1030 this hod shrunk to 21 per cent Beer in mind that in all instances these quantities and percentages of wheat refer exclusively to wheat grown in the United States. Canadian wheat moved, of course, almost exclusively through Canadian ports. The American city most interested In all this, of course, ta Buffalo. Tho big idea of the Barge canal wee to make commerce through Buffalo. New York state has spent untold millions with this objective, first to build the original Erie canal, before it was realized that the railroads were to become the big height movers of the country, and before trucks were conceived, and then later to make the waterway a big modern development, when it was rechristened the Barge eanaL Like so many other waterways, however, the results have never It is not justified the expectations. fair to criticise the original concept, because that was before anyone realized whet the railroads would become. It seemed then that wheat and other goods from the Greet Lakes region end westward, moving by water to Buffalo, end then to barges for New York, would provide a growing tide of commerce ample to Justify the trans-shipp- ed expenditure. . |
