Wash me thoroughly from mint
iniquity,and cleanse me from my
sin.--Psalms 51:2.
One of the big problems in
(his country to which not enough
attention is being given, is just
how long is th e diminishing
u-roup that is paying all the bills
that are providing the abundant
life for an ever increasing crowd,
going to continue to try to keep
up the heartbreaking job of car
rying the double load.

There are those who are stick
lers for the observation and pres
ervation of the Constitution but
appear to have forgotten entire
ly that there is such a thing a. 1

“AS YE SOW”--
A long time ago it was truly
said: “As ye sow, so shall yt
‘reap.” This is still true. It is
(rue with individuals. It is trm
with nations. It is true with
states and with all forms of gov
ernments.
We have gone heedlessly,
squandering our abundance, dis
sipating our resources with our
mind fixed on other things. We
have not sat down and taken
time to face the facts and look
(he situation squarely in the face
and apply the remedy that corn
man sense plainly told should be
applied.
This is not the fault of anyone
in authority today. It is accu
mulated faults of years of negli
gence. We have sown to th
wind, and whether we like it o
not, we are going to reap the
whirlwind.

While we believe it necessary
in the world today if we are go
ing to live in peace and free Iron
the greed of dictators to provide
an extensive armament and de
fense program, we cannot hell
but speculate on all the things
for the benefit and comfort ano
enjoyment of the race that migh
be done with the money neces
sary to build a war machine. We
could build roads, hospitals
schools, parks, endow medica
foundations that might probe in
to the cause and relief of disease,
and work for the upbuilding am
improvement of the race rathei
than its destruction.
When we get to heaven we d(
not want to meet up with tin
fellow who, here on earth, toot
our paper for a year or more am
then refused to pay for it In
claiming that he “never ordered
it nohow.” Notwithstanding
(hat every week he has taken i
out of the mail box and read h
and has never notifie 1 us by car,
or phone or in person that he de
sired it discontinued, and evei
told us several times he was ge
ing to pay. We don’t want t
meet him in heaven becaus
meeting him would just sound :
sour note, and we don’t want
anything like that to happen to
mar the pleasure of our staj
t here.

JOHN NANCE GARNER
Vice-President of the United States, and leading In the poll of Democratic
candidates to succeed Roosevelt.
Garner Man of the People,
Sound, Rugged and Honest
The time has definitely arrived in
America when positions of trust and
responsibility should be placed exclu
sively in the hands of the elders, de
clared Roy Miller, oldtime editor of
Texas, in speaking recently at a gath
ering of old friends and neighbors of
John Nance Garner, vice president, in
the little village of Detroit, Texas, where
the distinguished Texan was born near
ly sixty-nine years ago.
“There is no substitute, either in pub
lic or private life, for experience, and
experience, of course, comes only with
years. As n matter of fact, the only thing
that is old about John Nance Garner is
some of his political philosophy. He still
believes in the old-fashioned virtues of
economy, thrift, and self-reliance. In
other words, he believes in the old-fash
ioned, fundamental principles of de
mocracy, and no man in America, in
both his public and private life, exem
plifies (hose principles to such a degree
as does this great man.
“While achieving high place politi
cally. hf has made substantial success
of his private life, and it (s his proud
boast that he owes no human being a
thin dime. Ho believes in the pay-as
you-go system, and what a blessing It
would be if that system could be applied
to America today.
“Lest 1 be misunderstood, let me say
here, with all of the emphasis I can com
mand. that John Garner is no reaction
ary in his political philosophy. Indeed
he is not even a conservative, if the
term be applied with the meaning with
which It was clothed in years gone by
“John Garner is a liberal and a great
liberal. He was a liberal Democrat prac
ticing liberalism many years before
some of the most vocal present-day spon
sors of liberalism were even born. But
there is no tinge or taint of radicalism in
the liberalism of John Garner. His
liberalism is that which would guaran
tee to every American citizen the right
and opportunity to work out his or her
salvation with the least possible inter
tercnce upon the part of the Govern
ment. Therefore, he believes in all nec
essary legislation and regulation to pro
tect the weak against the strong, the
i poor against the rich, the owner of
property against those who would de
stroy the ownership of property; in
short, equality of opportunity for every
American citizen He believes in De
mocracy and prefers to be known as a
Democrat in the old-fashioned interpre
tation of the term without qualification,
prefix, or suffix.

“In such an atmosphere as this. 1 think
we find the real soul and personality ol
America. From such humble surround
ings as these, typified by the lowly lop
cabins where John Garner and his
sainted mother were born, have conn
the truly great in America’s gloriou;
history. They knew, as he knows, wha'
America is, what America stands for
and how and why our American system
of government was conceived. They
knew, as he knows, what it means to toil
and strive and work. They knew, as he
knows, that there is no substitute for
self-reliance and individual initiative
and that any system of government
which takes from the individual these
fundamental tenets of liberty cannot
long endure as a democracy of freemen
They knew, as he knows, that for men
to be free they must be guaranteed on!\
freedom of opportunity to work out then
own destinies, and that the highest pur
pose and duty of government in a de
mocracy Is to assure to every citizen an
equal chance with his neighbor. This It
the essence of John Garner’s political
philosophy.
“I have no patience with those who
would seek to analyze the percentage
of one's Americanism. It is not a di
visible thing. It is not something that
can be broken up into parts and ap
praised In its constituent elements.
Either one Is an American or he is
not. Nevertheless, I cannot help but
feel that there never was a time in the
history of our beloved country when
the need for the leadership of those
whose Americanism is beyond all per
adventure of doubt was so essentially
and vitally necessary to the preserva
tion of America and American institu
tions as it is at the present moment.
“Here in Red River County, where
John Garner's widowed grandmother
with her six fatherless children came
from Tennessee almost a hundred yean
ago, built yonder log cabin, and joined
tire ranks of valiant pioneers who blazer
a trail for civilization and laid deep anr
broad the firm foundations of Imperia
Texas, may we find, indeed, the soi
■ from which true Americanism is gen
' crated and born. Here in this com
munity, plain, home • like, typically
i American, is the birth-place of a great
American who, in my humble opinion,
has been marked by the hand of destiny
i to become the President of the great
est, richest, and most powerful nation
. of all time, the United States of Amer
ica.”

Winter Does Not Check
Activity of Ground Mole
One animal rarely seen, yet hard
’ ly to be considered uninteresting, is
the common mole. Its habit of liv
-1 ing a secluded underground life, to
gether with a natural shyness when
It is aware of human presence,
makes this creature one of the
more mysterious animals of the
I state, writes Clarence Taube in the
Detroit News.
But the animal makes up for its
infrequent appearance by leaving
behind numerous and plainly evi
dent signs of having been about.
The lines of upheaved dirt above
underground tunnels and the circu
lar mole hills are common sights
in summer and sometimes are also
evident in winter.
The mole is content to burrow for
subterranean worms and insects
upon which it feeds. Its pointed
snout and the two hand-like paws
serve as excellent tools for digging.
Occasionally the animal works its
way to the earth’s surface, after
which it may crawl above ground
for a short distance before “dig
ging in” again. Usually these so
journs in the outer world are quite
brief, for the mole out of ground
j acts much like a fish out of water,
and it invariably hurries to return
to its underground abode where it
lives in greater safety.
Observers have noted that for
some unknown reason the mole is
more likely to be seen above ground
during the noon hour than at any
other time of day. Although the
j small mammal generally does its
burrowing deep down during the
| winter months, it’s at this season
I when it is more frequently seen out
of the ground. This may be due to
animal’s rather frequent striking
frozen earth, the impenetrable ob
stacle causing it to dig to the sur
face; or then again it may be due
to the fact that the bluish gray
; furred animal is much more easily
discerned on snow, thus causing its
out-of-ground excursions to be no
ticed more often in winter than ia
