A Long Swim
Money Flows West
$5 for $3.39
Not So Barren
The new year, 1935, latest contribu-
tion of Father Time to the long chain
of beads called "eternity," is here,
and we are in it
We shall continue to read opinions
and rumors, plans and criticism of
plans, in our slow progress to pros-
perity's shore. It is a long swim when
.you are thrown overboard in the mid-
dle of Lake Superior. This country
was thrown overboard in another lake
•of superior prosperity and unlimited
■expectations back in 1929.
COMPOSITION OF UNIVERSE
Farmers, newspapers devoted to the
farmers' interest, big bankers of the
East, are interested In the fact that
the money tide that for so long flowed
from producers In the West to accum-
ulators in the East, is now flowing in
the other direction.
The money tide goes out toward the
farms of wheat raisers and stock, in
the West and Middle West, and to the
■cotton farmers in the South. It is as
though the Great Lakes had been tilt-
ed upward at the eastern end, and the
•waters sent rushing toward the Rocky
mountains.
The tide will not flow long In that
western direction, probably. Men that
have the mortgages and collect the In-
terest accumulate the money, In the
long run.
Long ago, a man wagered that he
would stand on London bridge offer-
ing genuine gold sovereigns for a shill-
ing each and find few takers. The
.gold sovereigns were genuine, but no-
body would buy. Mel Smith, a circus
official citlled "Lucky" Smith, bet that
lios Angeles Citizens would refuse to
buy gennine $5 bills for $3.39. Hun-
dreds walked by, looked at the genu-
ine bills. Some cried "Fake!" Only
two purchased. "Lucky" Smith won
$100 wager.
Many Americans wish they had been
as skeptical about certain stock back
in 1929.
The distinguished George W. Rus-
aell of Ireland, who signs his writings
"AE," says, "1 am always struck by
the terrible barrenness of rural life
In America." He thinks we must "find
some way to enrich it," and If we don't,
•then the disease which destroyed an-
.clent Italy will eat into America. You
will no longer feed yourselves, and
you will >e struck with palsy of bread
and circuses."
Mr. Russell may find greater rich-
ness In Irish farmhouses, but it is a
richness of the character and of the
mind, nol: of surroundings. There is
little barrenness about, other than In-
tellectual, in our rural life with its
automobile, radio, moving pictures
within easy reach, rural delivery, por-
celain twith tubs, mail order cata-
logues, pi*ayer meetings, revivals, an-
nual circus, the public library, soon
reached by automobile.
Next summer our ships of war, "ven-
turing altaost to Oriental waters," will
engage in far-flung war games cover-
ing more than 5,000,000 square miles
«f the Pacific ocean.
How interesting that will be, and
bow rapidly those ships would come
running home to hide away in port if
a few large bombing planes should
sail out from Asia, from Tokyo or Rus-
-aia'3 Vladivostok, over those 5,000,000
square mJes of the Pacific, and drop
explosive bombs and poison gas bombs
on the battleships!
Geological explorers from the Byrd
expedition, near the South pole, report
Important veins of mineral quartz, dis-
covered in mountains along the coast
«f Marie Byrd Land.
If the ueoIogist8 should bring back
actual samples rich in gold, how quick-
ly men would find a way to reach those
mountains, how Indifferent to death
they would be in the effort to get
there!
We have piled up in Washington
already $8,000,000,000 worth of.gold.
What would happen If T'.yrd should
discover a mountain containing-$1,000,-
000,000,000 in gold? That would be
overdoing it, for Instantly onr $8,000,-
000,000 in gold would shrink In value
to almost nothing, and the gold metal
would be only metal, not precidus.
In Kansas a terrific dust storm, hid-
ing the sun, suggests that the Agri-
cultural department help fanners by
developing: some temporary covercrop
that could be sown on wheat and corn
fields when the crops come off. a nltro-
'^ttgeu-fixing plant if possible. It would
^protect dusty surfaces from hijrh winds
and be plowed under, contributing
the next planting.

HOUSTON
TO
The Conscientious Candidate
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE
from
GALVESTON
Frequent Service
Sitting by himself in a hotel room
I found an old friend or earlier days,
chewing a toothpick, and gloomily
regarding a cheering crowd outside
the open window where a man was
standing in an automobile and ad-
dressing an obviously approving
crowd.
"Is that your candidate?" I in-
quired.
".Not any more,"' was the surly
reply.
"I thought you were one of his
managers."
"Listen. That lad hasn't got any
managers. I was one, but I ain't
any more, and moreover, I won't be.
I'm waiting for the next train that
will take me back home."
"What was the trouble?"
"It woulcTtake more than between
now and train time to tell you. That
fellow hasn't got any political brains.
I was up all night last week, writing
him a speech—the regular speech
that used to go big in all the cam-
paigns I've been in. When I showed
it to him, he read it, believe it or
not, read every line of it, and then
he said:
" 'But you've made a lot of prom-
ises here that I can't carry out. No-
body could carry them out. Don't
you realize that I'd be expected to
carry them out if I was elected?'
" 'Listen,' I said, 'you're new in
this game, but you're smart, or any
way I think you are, and you can
learn. Nobody pays any attention to
campaign promises except a few
cranks, and they won't bother you
after election day. You'll have a
secretary to keep them from bother-
ing you.
'"What you've got to do is to let
us old hands tell you what kind of
promises will get votes, and then go
and make them, and take the bows.
You just attend to the talking—
you're good 'at that—and we'll get
somebody up from headquarters to
hand you the speeches. The ones
you've been writing ain't sound. You
keep talking about not being able to
perform impossibilities. That won't
make you any votes. Now, don't
worry, it will be all right; you just
leave that speech with me and I'll
leave in it anything that ought to be
there, and let one ot the bright lads
I've brought along fix the rest of it
for you.'
" 'But,' he says, 'I wouldn't make
a speech that somebody else wrote
for me.'
" 'You wouldn't, hey,* I says.
Well, smarter guys than you has
made 'em and grabbed off big jobs
by makin' 'em, and after they was
elected they managed to squirm out
of 'em, like they all do.'
" 'But that wouldn't be honest,' he
says.
" 'It wouldn't be stealin', or bur-
glarin', would it?'
'" 'Pretty much the same thing,
yes.'
"Now, what could you do with a
bird like that?"
"Well, what did you do with him?"
"There wasn't nothing to do, of
course, but just let him take the bit
in his mouth. And a terrible mess
he's made of It.
"Why, do you know the very next
day he told a crowd out In front of
the hotel that when he was elected
he wanted 'em to come down to the
Capitol and tell him if there was
anything wrong with the way things
was going, and if they had any com-
plaints, and so forth. What do you
think of that? After he was elected
mind you. He'd listen to 'em alter
he had the job and didn't need to
listen to 'em.
"I sat down then and tried to have
a serious talk with him, and explain
that nobody ever took campaigns se-
riously, and that he was to leave
what happened after he was elected
to older and wiser heads that had
grown gray in politics.
"He was a little huffy at that, but
I thought he could take his medicine,
even if it didn't taste good, and set
to work tellin' him, as I would tell
a little child, what it was all about.
And what does he do but turn on his
heel and walk off!
"The next morning I went up to
his room, where he was makin' a lot
of party leaders—poor old boys past
fifty—chuck one of them medicine
balls at each other just because he
liked to get exercise that way.
"He was all smiles when he see
me, and chucked the ball at me,
meanin' to be playful, and St hit me
on the ear and hurt. But I was so
pleased to think he'd come around
to my way of thinking that I didn't
say anything till the other boys had
gone.
"Then I said: 'Well, I see you
ain't mad any more, so I suppose
it's all right.'
" 'You suppose what's all right?'
says he.
" 'Why, the quarrel between you
and me. I knew you wouldn't take
that serious.'
" 'No,' he says, 'I didn't take It se-
rious. Here's another speech I wrote
this morning.' He handed it to me,
and I put on my spectacles to read
it, and found he'd said again that
when he was elected he was going
to be the people's man, and that the
first professional politician who
came to him to give advice or offer
instructions would be chucked out
of the window.
"Well, I just turned on my heel
and walked away. Here am I, an'
out there is he, givin' a talk to the
people about the danger of trick pol-
iticians comin' into the offices an'
tryin' to influence elected officials,
and how, if he was elected, the first
thing he'd do would be to try to get
to ask for a law makin' attempts to
influence an official a felony. A
felony I Think of that!"
"What are you going to do about
it?" I inquired, as he paused to
catch his breath.
"Well, the trouble is, we can't do
nothing about it. We ain't got noth-
ing on him like we have with a good
many of the men we nominate. He
ain't made us no promises, which
rnebbe was our fault, for we thought
he'd be so glad to have us tell him
what to do that he'd come in askin'
for advice every day.
"It's too late to head him off now,
and the worst thing about it is, he's
makin' headway, and maybe will get
elected in spite of all we can do to
stop him, an' that'll be a lot, believe
me.
"Look at him, out there, tellin' 'em
he won't make no promises unless
he knows he can carry them out, he
won't have no boss directin' him in
the discharge of his duty to the peo-
ple, an' he thinks the mandate of
the people is more important than
the orders of all the political bosses
that ever put their heads together in
a back room.
"I suppose we got it comin' to us.
We nominated him, because we took
it for granted that he'd be a good
boy and do what was right. But we
have learned our lesson. He'll prob-
ably be elected, for he goes good
with the crowd, an' he may get re-
nominated—such fellers do, some-
times. But when he quits, an' we
put in another man, that man is
goin' to be our man, an' he's goin'
to admit it in writin' before he gets
his name so much as mentioned in
the convention hall."
A sound of loud cheers came
through the open window. The old
politician grinned. "He's bad busi-
ness for us," he said. "But I can't
help admirin' his nerve, at that."

Airship to Bring About
Closer Bond of Union?
Beginning next July all of the
United States and all of Europe
will be connected by a maximum air
service of 72 hours. That is less
time than it now takes the best
steamers to go from New York to
Liverpool. Plans are being laid for
extending air transportation from
our Pacific coast to Hawaii and Aus-
tralia and soon to Asia. Not long
thereafter regular air lines will
traverse Asia, just as has been
shown to be possible from England
to Australia by the recent race, and
regular round-the-world mall and
passenger service will be in full
swing. How soon this will be con-
summated is uncertain, but as air
development is now progressing it
is safe to predict a maximum -limit
of five years, with three and even
two years as a possibility.
What effect such a close union of
the world by transportation and
transmission of intelligence will
have upon universal peace must
await developments. Theoretically
it should be a strong bond of union
between the nations and tend to ren-
der them common-minded. That has
been the effect of improved trans-
portation and more general distribu-
tion of news and greater personal
contacts between residents of differ-
ent sections of the United States.
Personal acquaintance is the great-
est antidote for belligerency. It is
fair to assume, that better acquaint-
ance among the nations and a clear-
er knowledge by the peoples of all
countries of those of all other coun-
tries will make for less hostility and
suspicion, and thus remove the great-
est fundamental cause of war. But
It is possible this influence will not
develop rapidly enough to avert an-
other great struggle.
So far from promoting the psy-
chology of peace, expansion of air
navigation has until now produced
the opposite effect Every nation in
Europe has had its fears and sus-
picions magnified by the increased
possibilities of hostile invasion by
air. This is inevitable so long as
mankind continues to cling to the
theory that force is the right and
dominant influence in settling inter-
national differences, and also domes-
tic differences, as we see In Russia,
Germany, Italy and Spain. With
such a mental attitude, every in-
crease in offensive power must add
to apprehension and stimulate
greater preparation for defense. Yet
that does not negative the fact, that
more mutual knowledge and under-
standing is the gateway to world
peace, and that this new element, at
present arousing fear, will eventual-
ly make felt its influence for peace.

How Calotabs Help Nature
To Throw Off a Bad Cold
Millions have found in Calotabs a
most valuable aid in the treatment
of colds. They take one or two tab-
lets the first night and repeat the
third or fifth night if needed.
How do Calotabs help Nature
throw off a cold? First, Calotabs are
one of the most thorough and de-
pendable of all intestinal eliminants,
thus cleansing the intestinal tract of
the germ-laden mucus and toxines.
Second, Calotabs are diuretic to the
kidneys, promoting the elimination
of cold poisons from the blood. Thus
Calotabs serve the double purpose of
a purgative and diuretic, both of
which are needed in the treatment
of colds.
Calotabs are quite economical:
only twenty-five cents for the fi
package, ten cents for the
package. (Adv.)
