FOLITICAL PROBITY—IN AUGUSTA.
THERE are. to our own knowledge, a large
number of Augusta folks who would vote for
Coolidge, and a few who would vote for La-
Foliette, had they not cast their ballot in the pres
idential preference primary and thus feel bound to
support the nominee of the Democrats. While they
did not take an oath to support the nominee of the
party, their voting, ipso facto, was nothing more
than an inferential oath. At leaet, it is so re
garded.
Four years from now, The Herald predicts, there
will he fewer Augusta, and Georgia, folks voting
In the presidential primary than was the case this
year. There Is to be greater independence in vot
ing from this time forward, and but few will want
to tie their hands to any one party several months
In advance of the election. Of course, the present
spirit of political unrest may soon abate, and Dem
ocrats, as well as Republicans, return with full sat
isfaction to the fold of the party they grew up with.
The probabilities are, though, that the general dis
satisfaction will Increase unless there Is a decided
upswing in business.
We have heard quite a few people say they will
not go to the polls because they cannot vote, con
scientiously, for the candidate of their choice. These
same people forget, though, that their "inferential
oath" exacts of them the fullest support of the
party's candidate, and they cannot give this support
If they refrain from voting. A failure to vote would
ho os much of a "holt" of the ticket as casting a
ballot for other than the Democratic choice.
The voter who cast his ballot in the presidntla!
preference primary, to our mind. Is "between the
devil and the derp blue aca" so far as changing his
opinion Is concerned, and his, or her, best way out
Is to go to the polls and vote for the party's cliolca
They can even the score four years from now—if
they wish to.
HE’S A HUMAN BEING, TOO
ONE generation of people has about the same
problems as another. As a sample: The high
cost of living Is an eternal problem. They had
It thousands of years ago, Just as much as we have
It now. And they tried about the same remedies —
such as laws against profiteering, fair price lists, etc.
The reason our economic problems remain unsolv
ed, century after century, Is because they are con
sidered as cold-blooded scientific problems Instead
of human problems.
The trouble begins In our schools. We teach the
rising generations all the truths, sophistries and bunk
propaganda of economics. But we give them very
little training In human decency—kindliness, fair
play, the Golden Rule.
Quite naturally, men who have not V>ecn trained in
Christian principles do not practice these principles
when they get power over the necessities of life.
Take the problem of the farmer, who has been get
ting less than his shars of prosperity. This problem
lias for the most part been considered as cold-blood
edly as If It were a surgical operation.
Politicians and economists and writers have corns
forth with numerous solutions, baaed on statistics.
Their arguments usually wind up with the plea th.v,
If the farmer's buying power Isn't restored to him,
he cannot buy city-made goods
That's true. But there's more to It thnn the sel
fish or material side. It's more than an economic
problem. It'a a human problem. The farmer Is a
human being. He has a right to a fair share of
general prosperity. If he doesn't get It, he suffers —
so do his wife and children. His children. In par
ticular, suffer by not getting an even chance in ed
ucation and inheritance. Hut most of this Is Ignor
ed. The talk run* to law of supply nnd demand,
cycles, prices, balances, etc.
Some day this la going to he a mighty fine world
to live In hut not until people realize that the only
solution for most material problems is spiritual—
Golden Rule, recency, tolerance, Christianity.
Material suffering Is the result of violating spirit
ual laws.

Then the ex-bootblack Introduces himself as F.
Nicholas Petroeelll, assistant corporation counsel of
the city of Boston, officially repres-nting the big city
lu the absence of Mayor Curley.
A pretty good old United States, Isn't it, with boot
blacks becoming prominent public officials, a bicycle
repair man evolving into Ford the auto maker, and
a poorly paid office clerk in Cleveland winding up as

We cannot all become big successes, and there's
no use pretending otherwise. Not all have the neces

there is very little reason for any man winding up as

“Bureaucracy” Is Due For
a Fight In Congress
By HARRY B. HUNT
WASHINGTON —"Bureaucracy”
unquestionably is going to
have a fight on Ite hands In
the next congress.
As Congressman Steagall of Ala
bama put it recently, "It’s about
time we found out whether we
have a free government or are rul
ed by a lot of departments and
divisions, bureaus, commissions
and boards.”
Steagall is a member of the com
mittal engaged In Investigating the
charge that big bunches of war
time government bonds were print,
ed in duplicate, that one set of
these duplicates was sold by the
government In the regular way,
that the other set was sold by In
dividuals who put the monc-y in
their pockets, rhat the treasury
can't tell the sets apart now, and
consequently has to redeem them
both.
Certain treasury records were
ne«ded In connection with the In
quiry and Manager James F. Mar
oughtry ■ f the securities section of
the trea g y'a division of loans and
currency paid the committee
couldn’t have them.
His refusal raised such a storm
that, flnaiv he yielded, but only as
a great favor, not as a matter of
right on the Investigators’ side.
THIS Is only Just one Illustra
tion. Similar cases come up all
the time.
It Isn’t alone that numerous bu
reau chiefs think themselves above
the law, the. courts, congress and
everybody else, when they’re called
on for something. They not only
demand to be let alone. They claim
the right to Interfere with others.
What's more, they get away with
It.
There are plenty of things In this
country that, a citizen can or can’t
do, not as the courts or any e’ear
ly defined laws decide, but simply
according to what some single in
dividual In a swivel chair In Wash
ington says about It.
This system lias been growing
for 10 years or so. Since the war
It has bern growing very fast.
CONGRESS started it.
It would pass some sweep
ing general law, leaving, how
ever, a'> the details to the Imagina
tion. am. then create a bureau or
a unit or a section of some de
partment to do the “Interpreting.”
This made the chief of that par
ticular little group practically a
dictator within Ills sphere of au
thority.
If one of his subject citizens did
something along any line of ac
tivity over which that chief claim
ed Jurisdiction, maybe what he did
was all right or maybe what he did
was criminal and he could be fined
or locked up for/it, depending on the
bureau chief’s “Interpretation."

ALTHOUGH congress started all
this, now it's getting sick of it,

oratory—and heard from orators
of all partis*.

European Iron and steel makers,

The steed alliance abroad is for
the purpose of presenting a com
mon front against American steel

dicted trade war gets under way.
M. G. Wells and others dream of
a political United States of Europe,
the countries over there banding
together like our states. It’s not
Impossible, though Improbable for
generations.
To say that the various Euro
peansnatlonalltles could not live
together peacefully under the same
flag, Is ridiculous. They do It, right
here In America. That's because
here, unlike In Europe, the leading
politicians do not devote most of
tlietr time to keeping racial hatreds
alive and flaming.
A political United States of the
world Is a long way off. But a sim
ilar union, Industrially, is in the
making. Gentlemen's agreements,
so-called, end undisguised interna
tional business alliances, are in
creasingly common.
Steel has become a world figure
with alliances and understandings,
no longer isolated by countries. So
has oil. And money—banking—has
been Internationalized for years.

MAKING BANDAGES
It has been said that there are
no emergencies for those who are
prepared.
Mrs. Mann generally had on
hand bandages and preparations in
rase one of the children might be
hurt.
Everv house accumulates old lin
en and. Instead of throwing It
away, why not make It into handy
bandages for an emerhency?
Re certain that It Is thoroughly
clean, tear Into strip two or
three inches wide, placing one end
upon the other and sew- together
with sofe thread until a length of
two yards has been obtained.
Then roll them Into soft bundles
and half fill a well-cleaned glass
jar. At the top pack a good wad of
absorbent cotton and put a light
weight at the bottom.
To thoroughly sterlize set the jar
upon an Inverted plate In a kettle
of cold water, deep enough for the
water to come within an inch of
the bottle's neck.
Put the kettle upon n slow fire and
let the water reach a heat of 180
degrees and maintain this heat for
three hours. The bandages will
then be thoroughly sterlized.

CHICAGO.—"Lips correspond to tile
body, and eyes to the soul in the
make-up of facial beauty."
Madame Louise, Chicago beauty ex

“Lips are more sensuous, more
crude In expression," she thinks.
"Eye* are capable of finer distinc
tions and glow with more intense fire.
But. Just as some artists express
themselves through mind and soul In
poetry, and others through their
bodies in the dance, so some people

eyes and others perfect Cupid’s bow

CAREFUL ATTENTION.
"If one is to be beautiful, the Ups
must be given Just as careful atten
tion as the eyes.
"But that doesn't mean giving them
tw-o coats of red paint, like a barn.
Often. little or no lip rouge is needed.
Too much Is ahvays bad. The style
today is to use a minimum of rouge
and to apply that not by any forniula
or pattern, but according to individual
type and to the occasion at which it

A girl with a full face and high nat

red on her Ups and apply the paint
to a larger area than the narrow
faced type, according to Madame
Louise. Naturalness is the guide, and

with extreme style of costume, it Is
permissible to widen the bow and
deepen the color. But with care.
"The natural beauty of the lips pro
duced by brave, unselfish, spiritual
thoughts Is more Important than
paint,” Madame Louise says. “Color
can do little more than illuminate the
expression underneath. And it can't
always conceal the understrable qual
ities revealed in the lips.”
