Just at present the main thorna in
the flesh are the lack of work, and
the lack of money, and the latter

record a period when everybody was

In this fslr valley, when everybody
waa working, even If they could, and
everybody alwaya had room for more

Just at present, the despondency la

Roosevelt's
IT LOOKS dark for Governor Roosevelt. The announced de
cision to attempt the repeal of the two-thirds convention
rule, is a confession of weakness and desperation.
Were the Roosevelt forces not convinced that victory under
the established system, is IMPOSSIBLE, they would not try to
overthrow a procedure so deeply imbedded in party tradition
and sentiment.
TRUE the Roosevelt forces have the votes to repeal this rule,
for only a majority is needed. But Democrats are funny
that way. They take their party traditions seriously. And by
and large they are incorrigibly sentimental.
Even with a majority pledged, it would surprise no one
familiar with Democratic psychology, to find these pledges
break completely under the stress of a sufficiently eloquent
appeal.
e
DEMOCRATIC conventions are like that. The stampede to
the unknown William Jennings Bryan, after his cross-of-gold
Bpeech, provides the classic example. The way the delegates
in San Francisco over a decade ago shook the rafters with their
cheers for Bryan, and then voted against everything he pro.
posed, was only another demonstration of the party's emotional
instability.
One can always tell in advance what Republican conventions
will do. One can never tell in advance what Democratic con
ventions will do. The Republicans are always matter of fact
and conduct their conventions, like so many directors of the
U. S. Steel corporation. The Democrats are always romantic,
and conduct their conventions, like their spiritual forefathers
conducted a Kilkenny Fair.

T7HY doesn't congress adjourn I The longer it stays in ses-
sion the more dangerous it becomes.
Yesterday without even a record vote it passed a bill provid
ing a $2,300,000,000 relief program.
The country DOES need relief. But it doesn't need pork
barrel graft, it doesn't need waste, it doesn't need the dole.
The first thing to do is get idle men to work. Second, is
to get them to work upon projects that have some use, and real
social and economic benofit.
Some provisions of this bill are good, but more are bad,
and some are positively rotten.
No doubt members of the senate knew this. But they
wanted to get credit for passing such a measure, and then
pass the buck to the Presidont, who unless the measure is radi-
olaly changed, will HAVE TO VETO IT.
e e e
TpiIIS venal and spineless procedure lias been going 'on long
enough. We are sick of having congress pass everything
that any political minority demands, and force the President
to do what any self respecting legislative body should do as a
matter of patriotism and duty for THEMSELVES. We believe
the people are sick of it, too.
Far better have no congress at all, at this critical time, than
one that does nothing but play cheap politics, and put the
entire burden of good government upon the shoulders of ONE
overworked man. the President of the United States.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
What, Actually Tongue-Tied?
About a week after my 6 months
old baby was born my mother said
he was tongue-tied. I did not worry
much, as I thought the Doctor would
have told me and I fixed It when the
baby was a wee baby. But recently
the doctor told me It was true but
would probably correct Itself as he
grew . . . (Mrs. M. A. J.)
Answer In a fairly large experience
both In private practice and In ma
ternity hospitals I have never sn an
actual Instance of tongue-tie. Per
haps that la because I never hit It off
very well with the fishwives, old gran
nies and the like. Anyway, if the baby
nurses or takes his food all right you
need not worry about the imaginary
tongue-tie.
The Haw Haw Corner
Local news item from Hlckville on
Hudson: "Inspector , one of the
most popular ... Is a patient at the
hospital where physicians are
striving to ward off an attack of
pneumonia. The Inspector caught cold
last Friday and was removed to the
hospital on Sunday,"
Answer- You can see pictures of
people catching cold In any almanac
or announce met of the cold cure peo
ple, but here la a rare one of physi
cians striving to ward off pneumonia.
Superstition Still Rampant
After my sister's baby was born the
doctor snipped a web under the
baby's tongue and said that would
prevent lisping. Now my 4 year old
boy does not lisp, but sometimes he
does not enunciate clearly and my
sister's husband's people say I ought
to have the web under hla tongue
cut . ,-. (O. M. A.)
Answer Sheer superstition. Even
if there Is a web that Is not there
In all babies It has nothing whatever
to do with lisping, or with any 6ther
speech defect.

So, you aee. In years of general pros,
perlty, when prices of the things
that gold will buy are high, gold
mining doesn't psy, because It costs
too much.
But In yeara of depression, when
prices of the things that gold will
buy are low, gold mining DOES pay,
because the gold that la found In
such times will buy a lot of other
things.

QUPPOSE you were a prospector
back In 1928 or 1829. The food
you ate and the clothea you wore
cost a lot of money. Besides, you
could get a Job almost anywhere at
wages that would amount to a great
deal more over the year, In aU prob.
ability, than the gold you couM
expect to find.
But now It I different. Your
food and your clothea cost much
less, and Jobs at good wagea are
scarce and hard to find. And the
gold you may take from the hill,
will buy an unusually large quantity
of th thing you want after yom
