Boyce House digs up the fol-
lowing gem: *
Melancholy meditation on the
passing of a friend recently in
his mid-thirties brings to mind
the beautiful words of Bob In-
gersoll at his brothers' grave:
"He had not passed on life's
highway the styhe that marks
the highest point but, being
weary fqr a moment, he lay
down by the wayside and', Using-
his burden for a. pillow, fell into
tluij. 0|eajnless sleep that kisses
''■'.flownjhis eyelids still. While yet'
in love with life and raptured
with the world, he passed to sil-
ence Yi nd pathetic dust.
"And yet it may be best, just
in the happiest, ‘sunniest hour
of all the 'voyage, while eager,
winds are kissing every sail, to
dash against, the unseen rocks
and, in an instant, hear the bil-
lows roar above-a sunken ship;
for whether in mid-sea or 'mong
■the breakers of the farther
shore, a wreck at last must
inark the end of each and all,
and every life no matter if its
every hour be rich with love and
jeweled with a joy become at j — ......... - —— ---------
last a tragedy as dyk ami deep , paign speaking platform in Balti-
as can be woven of the warp |
and woof of mystery and death.”
But in that hour of supreme
sorrow, the orator agnostic
though he wm -could, not dbn-
sign the body of his brother to
the earth with the thought that
it was a parting that would be.
forever.
"In the night of death, Hope ’
sees a star and listening Love
can hear the rustle of a wing.*’

Pointing out that Willkie's invi-
tation was extended through the
press Early said:
"If I were going to invite you to
-my house I would send you a per-
sonal invitation and I don’t think
; I would ask you if I knew you
Aren't coming.”
Willkie challenged the president
in a press statement to debate
with him at Baltimore when he
learned that Mr. Roosevelt tenta-
tively had scheduled a speech
there for'vn.it»vct’"30.
In response to questions Early
said that "hot to my knowledge"
had the American secret army

Other persistent reports are that
Washington and London have
reached an understanding with re-
gard to Singapore and other Ifar
Eastern problems and are (inly
waiting until after the elections
to announoe it; that many of our
flying fortresses' arc either on
their way to England or shortly
will be; that another batch of U.
S. warships wiH follow the 50 de-,
stroyers; that deals for naval and
air bases in Latin America have
been completed. And so on.
Congress is known to be over-
whelmingly ubfavor of the utmost
help to Britain and China, short
of war. But What rile#" the mem-
bership is the secrecy with which
the moves are made. Like the rest
of the country, they say<they want
the help to be "short pf waF,’" yet,
they complain, they are just as
much in the dark concerning the,
extent of thui country's commit-

Congress how long he thinks it

■ WASHINGTON. Oct:' 2f- ‘ ^plomacy is back in
Washington again with a vengeance. And Congress, in.thej
privacy of its cloakrooms, is fretting and fuming in what it
conceives to be its helplessness to do anything about it.
Reports are .current not only!
here but in London and Tokyo
that the United States and Great
Britain are now busy on a Soviet
Urtion , "appeasement” plan de-
signed to win Russia away from
Germany and Japan.
Current, too. are reports that
Uncle Sain’s precious secret bomb
sights have already been, or soon
. Mfi|| he mow! over toJ3ritain on
that the Nazis have
bombs smashed into four sections
of Berlin, damaging apartment
houses, stores, hospitals, and resi-
liences, the Nazi jj*ess reported
today in angrily threatening retali-
ation on Great Britain.
The attack on the capital was
part of a wide British bombing of-
fensive. The British were reported
to have hit a railroad objective
in western Germany land to have
caused at least seven .deaths'in
Holland, where the newf agenejr
said Rotterdam and other towns
were bombed heavily.
Berlin newspapers said several
were killed and wounded in the
raids on Berlin, when two high ex-
plosive- bombs hit an apartment
house. In other parts of the city,
chiefly the west and southeast, in-
cendiaries stalled fires.
