SPEAKER “JOE” BYRNS.
The death of Joseph W. Byrns, Speaker of the House of
Representatives, brings to an eventful close the life of a dis*-
tinguished statesman and a man beloved by political friend and
foe alike. Known throughout the country as “Uncle Joe,” this
leading figure in both the political and industrial life of the
United States had few equals in the study of masterful and
artful political intrigue.
From his early life, his was a career that followed the
paths of political endeavor until he reached the pinnacle he oc
cupied at the time of his sudden demise. Showing to the world
his quiet but unobtrusive manner of accomplishing feats which
would have ordinarily balked the best efforts of others, “Uncle
ti Joe,’* possessed the happy faculty of being held in respect by
his enemies and being loved by his friends.
Always known as a fighter who gave nor took no odds, his
many political opponents have always indicated that he was a
fair fighter who never took advantage of any person either in
private or public life. Such was the ideals which placed him in
a niche to be immortalized in the hearts of our country-men.
Marked by the distinguishing characteristic of restoring order
; out of congressional chaos, I?yrns continued his path of political
maneuvering while in the Speaker’s chair in the House of Rep
resentatives. Always playing a leading part seemed to be in
the make-up of the tall, heavy-browed figure, who commanded
respect from rich and poor alike.
“Uncle Joe” is dead, but his memory lives on and on, never
to be forgotten as a man who studied and lived his ideals as he
himself would have others do. Always gracious and understand
ing to the extreme, when the gentle notes of the last taps sound
and echo from the rolling hills surrounding his burial place, it
can truly be said that he was a man.
OUR READERS’ FORUM |
Editor The Savannah Daily Times:
State Auditor Tom Wisdom has
just completed and published an audit
of the books and records of John B.
Wilson, secretary of state, for the
year 1935, and finds the same “in
excellent condition.”
There are certain special taxes,
such as professional taxes, registra
tion fees, etc., the collection of which
by law is vested in the department
of state, and the proceeds of which
are allocated to that department for
maintenance, as far ae they will go.
Auditor Wisdom’s report shows that
these collections in 1935 amounted to
$67,032.15, and that the total expendi
tures of the department for all pur
poses were $81,215.25.
e The department of state has four
divisions. The constitutional diviaion
in 1935 spent $16,260.53. The archives
end history division spent $6,726.54.
The securities division spent $9,513.63,
and the examining board division
epent in office aalares, maintenance,
etc., $20,202.18. The balance of the
total expenditures went to pay the
per-dlem and traveling expenses of
the members of th fourteen different
examining boards.
In concluding his rport on the de
partment, Auditor Wisdom said:
“The records of the department are
kept In excellent condition, reflect
ing a true and accurate account of
all financial transactions.”
John B. Wilson, secretary of state,
was secretary to Governor Clifford
Walker during a part of his admin
istration, and was secretary to Gov
ernor L. G. Hardman during his four
years. Mr. Wilson was elected secre
tary of state in 1930 and has served
continuously since then without op
position .

Editor The Daily Times:
An article in a recent magazine on
"Visiting” has attracted considerable
attention. Visiting is nothing new,
but according to the writer it is an
art, and the foundation of sociable
ness and good fellowship. In this day
when the individual thinks and
Works for himself, and leaves the
other fellow, the writer insista that a
revival is needed. Street conversa
tions, chats at the drug store, are
pleasant and help pass away the
time, but it is the visit at the home
that counts most. In this way people
are brought closer together, they
learn of each others problems, and
the way is paved for future pleasure,
provided the visits are timely, good
mannered and cheerful. A visit to
one in grief or sorrow and a tactful
show of interest Is worth its weight
in gold.
Most men feel kindly toward oth
ers, but they are absorbed in their
own affairs, and often know little
about those they like best. Social
visiting makes room for confidence,
makes room for intimate conversa
tion, and usually both the visitor and
the visited are helped.
More sociableness means more
friendships, and more friendships
mean more contentment and greater
happiness.

I BELIEVE in evolution and so do
you. You may say that you do not,
but in fact you believe profoundly in
it ... or you are profoundly unhappy.
I do not mean that you believe
in it precisely as Charles Darwin did
(or as some people distortedly be
lieve Darwin did). Not in the sense
that we are “descended from mon
keys” or from some older brother of
the monkey. No in that way . . .
But you do believe in a growth that
goes on from age to age, from genera
tion to generation. And you can’t
get away from that belief. It’s part
of you.
It’s hard for me to believe that the
Creator of all this, this earth with
its mountains and its seas, Its leap
ing tigers and shrinking violets, its
men and women and little boys and
girls put it all together just as it is
today . . . It’s easier for me to be
lieve that this Power created His
earth as a GROWING THING, mov
ing toward completion and perfec
tion. That would be more fun for him
and I believe even the Creator would
not despise fun.
But even though we believe in evo
luion, we are inclined to think of it
as something that’s behind us or far
ahead of us, and we forget that if
evolution is a part of us—it is always
with us NOW.
And whatever we do now, what
ever we think and feel and dream, is
a part of our evolution. We are a link,
not a recess, in the long process of
growing and becoming.
Keep that in mind and it holds up
back from despair, it pulls us up
from pessimism, lifts us when we fall,
supports us when we weaken. . . .
It transforms burdens into respon
sibilities, gives significance to drudg
ery, changes agonies into growing
pains.
Believe always in that kind of evo
lution, here and now, and you carry
within you a faith that is a living
force for happiness.

A BRITISH ANALYSIS
By An Observer Returned From U. S.
OF F. D. R.’S CHANCES
By LESLIE EICHEL
(Central Press Staff Writer)
It is interesting to read the com
ment in foreign papers on the Amer
ican political situation.
The London Times has had the
most dietailed account, the gist of
which appears herewith.
All that you read from here on is
from the London Times:
Sir Arthur Willert, in the course
of a detailed analysis of the presiden
tial election campaign in the United
States writes:
“Nearly everybody who possesses
or earns any appreciable amount of
money seems to be against Mr.
Roosevelt. The president, one is
given to understand, is a reckless
radical and a danger to the existing
order of society. There is much gos
sip about his health, in the sense
that he is on the verge of nervous or
physical collapse, or both.
“All this need not be taken over
seriously, even with reference to the
presidential election next autumn.
‘What you have been hearing,’ said
a famous veteran of American public
life, ‘will embitter more than it will
influence the contest. It comes from
the class that owns dinner jackets.
Go beyond it to the places where the
majority of the votes lurk and you
will discover a different sentiment. I
believe that the president will get
back, though with a smaller vote
than in 1932.’

SAVANNAH DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1936
“A long tour of the United States
makes me ready to risk the forecast
that, barring the unforseeable, the
polls in November wil prove my
friend to have been right. And, what
is more important, I found this to be
the growing opinion this spring even
of some of those journalists and poli
ticians who in public most loudly
decry the government.”
• * •
Fanning Interests
“Mr. Roosevelt does not spare him
self. He is at work in the morning
early. After an informal dinner the
remark, ‘I don’t know what you peo
ple are going to do, but I must get
on with my work’ may well preface
his good night to his guests. Indeed,
one could not help feeling that one
of the most valid criticisms brought
against him is that he centers too
much in his own hands. But respon
sibility rests lightly upon his nerves.
He sleeps well. His eyes are clear,
His complexion is that of a well-ex
ercised, eupeptic man. He patronizes
regularly the swimming pool at the
White House. He escapes ocasionally
on a fishing trip, if possible in south
ern waters. His interests are wide
and varied outside his official pre
occupations. Unlike President Wil
son, but like Theodore Roosevelt, he
is accessible and has many personal
friends.
“Besides being a landed proprietor
on the Hudson, where his family es-
tate lies, Mr. Roosevelt is a farmer
in Georgia and takes an active inter
est In the large hydropathic establish
ment he has built up in the same
state around a spring that he himself
has found beneficial. He collects
naval and sea prints and pictures,
many of which are on the walls of
the White House. He has a keen
eye for the oddities of life and, again
like his cousin and predecessor, has
an astonishing memory for facts and
pertinent stories.”
“And if Mr. Roosevelt knows how
to relax in private, he carries easily
the public state of his office. One
does not notice, when he enters the
room on a ceremonial occasion, that
he is helped by a stick or by the arm
of an aide-de-camp. One sees only
six feet of forceful manhood, a mas
sive head, a handsome, cheerful, dig
nified face set upon muscled neck
and solid shoulders. He is a fine
speaker, and his use of the wireless
has become proverbially disconcert
ing to his opponents. He is a mas
ter of political appeal as no other
president has been except (if the
parallel may once more be drawn)
Theodore Roosevelt.
“In this he is helped by Mrs.
Roosevelt, who is a Roosevelt by
birth as well as by marriage, her
father having been a brother of
Theodore. She, too, understands pub
licity, and practices it to a greater
extent than the wives of other presi
dents have done. She writes regu
larly in the press; she talks on the
wireless; she lectures. She is criti
cized for this. But one is inclined to
think that she knows the practical
side of her business better than her
critics, and tht she, also has the
dinner-jacketless vote pretty well with
her.”

FARLEY’S INEPT REMARK
Terming Landon “A Prairie State Nonentity’*
PLEASES REPUBLICANS
(Central Press, Washington Bureau,
1900 S Street
By CHARLES P. STEWART
(Central Press Staff Writer)
WASHINGTON, June 4. Post
master General James A. Farley’s
ears must burn as Democrats poli
ticians criticize, in strict confidence,
his recent reference to Gov. Alf M.
Landon as a Prairie state nonentity.
Calling the governor a nonentity
might not have been so bad.
The implication, however, was that
anyone who lives in the prairie state
region, is, ipso factor a nonentity.
Anyway, that is the interpretation
which Republican spokesmen in con
gress are placing upon the P. M. G.’s
remark, and Democrats are conscious
that it is not an interpretation cal
culated to be at all pleasing to Prairie
state voters.
Maybe Farley intended his slur to
apply only to Kansas, but Kansas
isn’t the only prairie state by any
means. Eight or ten of them are so
describable and Democratic candi
dates, from President Roosevelt on
down, may need, all of them on elec
tion day.
• * *
Too Eastern?
Moreover, as the Democrats see it,
the Republicans themselves could not
have chosen a more Democratically
damaging individual than Farley to
speak slightingly of the prairies.
Democratic politicians all along
have been uneasily aware that the
P. M. G. as chairman of the Demo
cratic national committee, is too em
phatically eastern. And he represents
a president who virtually is a Man
hattan suburbanite. They know, too,
that many New York city folk are
regarded in the west' as ignorant of
the fact that there is any United
States beyond the Hudson river.
Now it is implied by Farley that

musing: A holiday in New York is
always a mystery . . . Throughout
the day the streets are silent and
deserted almost, as Addis Ababa two
hours before the Italinas’ arrival . . .
But after nightfall a ferment of act
ivity begins: the theaters and night
clubs boil and groan with crowds . . .
Where do all these people come from
so suddenly? ... If they went out of
town for the weekend they wouldn’t
obviously, be back for the night’s fes
tivities—and if they were visitors
they’d be more in evidence during the
day ... So what? ... So I stroll
abroad in the daylight silences and
flee to my cubbyhole by night . . .
Sorry to have been out of town and
missed Ted Saucier’s wedding recep
tion . . . Probably a medley of big
names present, for he knows them
all ... He is, incidentally, the only
press agent of my time whose nup
tials got attention from the society
writers and the only one, to boot, who
can stir abroad in frock coat and
spats without seeming absurd. . . .
• ♦ •
The Broadway cellars hum with
a dismaying rumor: that Haile Selas
sie may tour the American vaudeville
houses at SIO,OOO per week ... I in
cline to doubt it . . . New York merri
ment dies the death at 3 A. M. of a
Sunday morning . . . For the first
time in many months I had occasion
to poke about during these ghostly
hours ... An insistent visitor from
Hollywood declared that certainly
they didn't roll up the sidewalks at 3
here—the veritable shank of the even
ing . . . But such proved to be the
case, now that even the innocuous
little restaurants of German York
ville, which used to serve beer to gar
rulous patrons into the dawn, have
lost their licenses for this crime . . .
So to ham and eggs at Childs, where,
for the first time since collegiate days,
I saw a tipsy lady hurl a platter of
flapjacks at a startled waiter and
score a bulls’-eye . . . But such h’gh
jinks have somehow lost their tang
and I was glad to hie to my cot . . .
Jeeves, the wheelchair!

The arrival of the British sea mon
ster, the Queen Mary, evokes memor
ies of last summer when I tripped to
America on the maiden venture of

recollections are merry, some sad . . .
The whole junket could not escape
beclouding because of the tragic death
of Harry Acton, best known of the
ship-news reporters, during the voyage
East to board the Normandie . . . Now
thinking back, the thing that popped
my eyes widest was the huge emerald
worn in the turban qf the Maharajah
of Kapurthala . . . And Lucius Boom

radiogram without benefit of press
rate or code . . . and, oh yes, the

and interfering with the broadcast

day and night near the kennels . . .

evening which glowed a bright scarlet

grow more and more elaborate, and
there is always a movie amateur or

become almost extinct ... I wonder
why . . . But the sidewalk ad I miss
most is the old gentlemen with the
Southern Cul’nel mustaches who used
to walk gravely up and down, flashing
on and off an illuminated starched
rest, which extolled the merits of a
cigar and later a brand of gin.
this guess is correct—the administra
tion does consider the prairies of no
consequence.
• • •
Ffoolsh
Os course it is foolish to say that
the administration looks down on the
prairie states; it really is very re
spectful of the west.
Nevertheless, the P. M. G. gave
offense.
Newspaper comment and congres
sional speeches prove it.
E*ut the Republicans are delighted.
They expect it to make plenty of
votes for them—perhaps not enough
to win with, but enough to be very
helpful.
And the cream of it is that it was
a Democratic contribution.
* * *
Aided Landon
Another things:
Farley is regarded as having prac
tically cinched Landons nomination
at Cleveland.
He recognized, in effect, that the
Kansas governor is the Republican
candidate whom the Rooseveltians
fear. Farley did him more good, than
could have been done by any amount
of pro-Landon propaganda.
* ♦ *
Another Error
Farley also took an indirect, unin
tentional jab at the Rooseveltian
policy of experimentation.
Landon, he said, would be an ex
periment .
Considering the fashion in which
President Rooeevelt has insisted upon
the experimental course in dealing
with the depression, it is difficult to
think of a more inept suggestion.
« * •
Farley Slipping?
P. M. G. Farley generally has been
called as a shrewd politicial manager.
Democrats are beginning to won
der whether he isn’t slipping.
The Republicans’ difficulty is that
they haven’t any substitute to offer.
The Democrats seem to them as
sailable but the Republicans haven’t
any shock troops.

(Central Press Association)
By WORTH CHENEY
Geologists, in their search for
specimens of earth formations, have
a profession that often is dangerous.
Unfortunately for them, they cannot
carry on their researches in the back
yard, but must devote much study to
formations found in canyons, cav
erns, mines and other such broken
sections of land. It readily can be
seen how climbing about a cave or
deep crevice can have more than a
mild element of danger.
We give this explanation as an in
troduction to a story about a' well
known geologist who flirted danger
ously with death and lived to laugh
about it.
The geologist was studying rock
formations in Montana, an: ?ne day
decided to make a trip down an old,
abandoned mine. Securing a rope
ladder he tied one end to a post and
' dropped the other end into the open
shaft. Then, taking a torch and some
tools, he began his descent to the
bottom.
He had gone down what seemed to
him only a short distance when he
felt the ladder slipping. Dropping
his torch and tools, he snatched at
a tiny ledge in the shaft wall, caught
it and hung suspended over the dark
abyss below.
His cries for help brought no an
swer from the dim opening of the
shaft far above him. Meanwhile the
strain on his fingers, barely gripping
the short ledge, grew worse. He
knew he could not hold on much
longer. A man of courage, he pon
dered the situation; his fate seemed
assured —certain death at the bottom
of the mine. He resigned himself to
that fate, loosened his grip and
dropped.
But his fall was halted suddenly,
for six inches below he struck solid
ground—the bottom of the mine!
Fortunate? Yes. But think of the
terror that man underwent for a
scant six inches!

The best treatment for burglars
we have heard for a long time is re
ported by an Ohio reader.
A dentist in a small Ohio town had
his office and equipment in the front
part of his house.
Late one night a burglar entered
the office through a window, and
without knowing it, set off an alarm
which aroused the dentist.
Having good presence of mind, the
burglar knew his cue when the den
tist .revolver in hand, stepped into
the room. The intruder clapped one
hand to his cheek and said:
“Sorry to bother you this way, sir,
but I’m looking for a dentist.’’
“Yes,” retorted the dentist, not
fooled by the act. “Well, I am one.
Sit right down here.”
There was nothing for the burglar
to do but to sit down. He was
promptly strapped in by the dentist,
who extracted six teeth without an
anesthetic before calling the police.

FIRST WORLD WAR DAY-BY-DAY
20 Years Ago Today—A Russian of
fensive was begun on a front 250
miles long in Colhynia, Galicia and
Bukowina, a development which
brought the attention of the Central
Powers with a jerk to the eastern
front.
Their anxiety was made all the
greater by realization that their own
defensive in the west faced failure.
The Verdun undertaking had cost
heavy sacrifices. On the Somme an
English-French attacking force
threatened disaster. The offensive of
the Austro-Hungarians against the
Italians in the Venetian mountains,
had been unproductive. The turn of
events called for the most momen
tous conference since the war’s be
ginnings in Berlin.
At their own conference in March,
Alies had fixed July 1 for the open
ing of a general offensive on all
fronts. The Russian attack was not
an anticipation of this, it was a
move to relieve the hard-pressed Ital
ians by forcing diversion of Austro-
Hungarian reserves to the east The
Russians had saved Paris, now they
must save Italy.
