Extra, Session Begins,
Hoover Proves Ability;
Revolution Moves On
-By CARL GREGORY -

■t tuating outlooks; hazy hopes
in Hoover magic among those who
believe in governmental relief, anil
criticism of all political panaceas on
the part of those who do not—
such seems to lie tho typical setting
in which, for the first time in Amer
ican history, Congress assembles as
a committee for agricultural relief.
Todny, Congress will convene in
extra session to discuss relief for
agriculture—the infant industry
that needs protection.
Any measure that is proposed or
passed will hardly bo permanent
however soothing it may be to the
farmer. Higher tariffs on agricul
tural products will be discussed and
probably passed. Arthur M. Hyde,
new secretary of agriculture, pro
posed legislation similar to that ad
vocated by the McNary farm bill
saying it appeared tio be the clear
mandato of the country. Time will
tell whether the session will result
beneficially or will end in a haze
of routine wrangling.
L. J. Tabor, of Columbus, Ohio,
and master of the national grange,
proposed five steps for considera
tion in the relief program. First,
ho had agricultural tariff revision,
then a federal farm board, an ex
port debenture, a sound land policy
and waterway development, and co
operation and efficient production.
HOOVER, after some thirty days
since his inauguration, has made
a favorable impression on the coun
try. He has definitely exhibited
his ability to make and reach im
portand decisions quickly. Indica
tive of this ability he announced
that there would be no more private
leasings of the government oil re
serves; he lias made an entente with
Washington correspondents and has
given them permission to quote
him more fully in their new stories;
he has had his cabinet members
earnestly working on proposals to
be brought up at the extra session
to fulfill Lis pre-election pledges on
farm relief. He strongly denounced
patronage and the Republican party
organization in the Southern states
of South Carolina, Georgia and Mis
sissippi Patronage evils cannot be
cleared up in a short time, but some
writers believe they can be ‘over
come by long, careful study and ef
fort.
Thon, too, Hoover was certain he
wanted to take side with the Mexi
can federal government in her revo
lution. Further, he immediately be
gan no'tiations at Geneva for Anter
ican adherence to the Wlirld Court,
and arranged for a non-partisan
commission bo study law enforce
ment and general legal reform.

PLANS to make life more gra
cious through the proper use of
leisure, will be liscussed by at least
three civilizations at Vancouver on
April 8. Hundreds of famous scho
lars and humanitarians from India
and Japan, Italy, Germany, Czeclio
slavakia, Australia and New Zeal
and, will convene for a weeks ses
sion to present their national or
traditional methods of how to deal
with the central problem of the con
ference: How to use the various
educational forces —1 the radio,
theater, literature—to provido wider
interests and thus a more gracious
life for mankind.

JIMENEZ and Escobar, even
though the Mexican revolution
didn’t start until March 2, 1929,
are almost as common cognomens
to the average American as Villa’s
name was a few years ago. Jimenez,
a Mexican rebel stronghold, happens
to be an appropriate slang word to
substitute for jimminy and was first
brought to mind in such light bv
a prominent Eugenean who greeted
a friend by saying, “Jimenez,
E-s-c-r-o-b-a-r (Escobar), are you
here?” in ten minutes this man
had introduced the word ‘Jimenez’
ho ten Eugt neans aud there is a
likelihood that it will become a na
tionally accepted means of express
ing ° oneself. Jimenez is, indeed,
symbolical of some kind of conflict!
Seriously, the Mexican revolution
has been more of a skirmish than
was predicted on March 2 when it
began. General Aguirre has been
executed along with many other
rebels. As yet, other nations have
managed to keep officially out of
the conflict and the Washington
state department on April .'t warned j
Americans who joined the insurgent I
forces that they would get no help
from the American government if
they became involved in difficulties,
with the Mexican federals. A con
clusion of the conflict would be |
welcomed by most Americans.
COLONEL Charles A. Lindbergh
has again succeeded in edging
into Mexico City to visit with his j
fiancee, Miss Anne Morrow. This!
is Lindv’s fourth visit to the city
of his greatest interest and he flew
into the Mexican city without the
populace aware of his presence.
AMERICAN Mercury denounces,
under the name “A Washing
ton Correspondent,” the ‘Progres
sives ’ of the Senate. The key ex
cerpt from the article says: “With
the exception of Norris o? Ne
braska, now dejected and despon
dent over the hopelessness of his
long struggle, and Tom Walsh of
Montana, an able but always vain
and sometimes sentimental, the so
called Progressives in the United
States Senate are a sorry bunch of
weaklings and time-servers. The
Liberals of America are always get
ting foiled, but never have they
been worse fooled than by " this
small, forlorn and measly gang of
false leaders.
“Brookhart, Blaine, Borah, Bra
zier, Howell, Johnson, Dill, LaPol
lette, Shipstead, Nye, Wheeler, all
come within-the category. There
i slittle intellectual or moral fibre
in any of them. They pother, trim
and hedge.”
Considering such criticism in con
junction with the recent removal of
the governor of Oklahoma, numerous
rejections of the principlo of pro
hibition, and public disapproval of
the two congressmen who wore ac
cused of the possession of liquor, one
-would believe that people are tak
ing a wider interest iu public af
fairs.
Snow Mocks Spring
Shivering Buds Retire
Tho calendar proclaims to the
world that this is the month of
April. The buds on the trees and
the full-blown daffodils suy it is
spring. Something is wrong some
where.
The speaker at yesterday’s assem
bly had just begun his address.
“The weather in Malaysia,” he said,
“is like that of Oregon. It is com
monly unusual.” As if by pre
arranged signal, it began to snow
outside.. And as the good bishop
went on to speak of the heat which
habitually prevails in Singapore,
the white cloud grew thicker.
The unsoasonal wrath of the snow
but after lunch the white cascade
of hail and snow again descended. |
Girls without hats ran for cover, J
and white crystals encrusted the
spring flowers which they wore on
their coats. The half-opened buds
of the three tulip trees which grow
near tho library, returnod into their
brown sheaths. The bronze hat of
tho Pioneer acquired a brim-load of
snow, and the sad expression on his
face deepened as it melted and ran
down into his unprotected powder
horn.
Ohio newspapers bannered stories
of a slight earthquake in that state.
Californians will recognize it as a
stunt to lure them Jjack home.

Drippings From
The Keg Spigot
- By MIKE GRIFFIN -
JOSEPH AND HIS BRETHREN
II. W. Freeman
This book is a good mouthful,
something into which you can set
your teeth and eliow on for an eve
ning or two. Not that, it is a deep,
psychological thing which will keep
you wondering for a week after
wards, but simply a concrete some
thing you can see and feel.
And for absolutely no reason at
all it will keep you deeply interest
ed. There is no set and definite
plot, no centered love theme or em
phasized triangle; there is only the
conflict between the Geaiter family
and the earth—their long and diffi
cult fight to get. a living out of
their rocky and unfertile farm.
The Geaiter family was composed
of five brothers and their father.
So hard-working were they and so
oppressive was the atmosphere cre
ated in their estate, Crakenliill, that
one housekeeper and one mother die
off under its influence. The second
housekeeper is more fortunate, and
succeeds in marrying the father,
but even her lot is hard. The Geai
ter family was definitely hard on
' female help.
The book will cast a spell over
you, a spell of harvested wheat and
farrowing swine. It’s certain to
make you a little scornful of linen
knickers and pastel sweaters and
chocolate malted milks, and it’s
liable to make you want to don
overalls and straw hat, get a hoe,
and go out to dig at Kincaid field.
