Row Over Moses Must Be Broui^ht To An End. Washington, Dec. 14.—Republicans took control of the senate today and received a warning from the Demo crats to settle or forget their row over tbe reelection of Senator Moses as president pro tempore. With committees formally organized for business. Senator Robinson, of Arkansas, the Democratic leader, warned that if the Moses controversy is npt settled soon he will insist upon abandoning it and turning to legisla tion. Senators regarded his declaration as {tutting the issue up to the West ern Republicans who ,are opposing Moses. They saw it as presenting the independents with two courses of pro cedure— to vote for the Democratic nominee and break the present dead lock to permit Moses to carry on by default. He serves until his successor is elected. The Democrats made no effort to obtain control of the senate organiza tion. Lacking a majority, they permit ted the reelection of Republican chair men of committees by a viva voca vote. Moses made no move to deprive the independents of their customary committee chairmanships. Moses aroused the ire of the inde pendents some time ago by terming them “sons of the wild jackass.” Their present opposition, how’ever, is based upon what they regarded as thi'eats by Moses to remove them from their chairmanships if they opposed his re- election as president pro tern. After the Republican committee or ganization had been safely reinstalled, four more ballots were taken today on the presidency pro tempore, none of which produced a majority for any candidate. The independents voted for Senator Vandenberg, of Michigan, a leader of the “young guard” Republi can group which had some differences with Moses last session. However, the “young guard” did not accept the overture and stood be hind Moses. The Democrats again lined up soUdly for Pittman of Ne vada. Today’s vote was: Pittman, 11; Moses, 31; Vandenberg, 13.

They are mere-i ly gestures, usually for self-advertise ment. They often puzzle people who think there must be a deep motive l»ehind every human action, whereas most of our actions are motiveless. “Jimmy” Walker goes to California] to plead for the pardon of Tom Moon- j ey, eon\ncted bomb-thrower. Why? A. dozen explanations are offered, but so far as the importance of the action is concerned it can be dismissed as a mere gesture on the part of the may-i or of New York. 1 Fifteen hundred well-fed "hunger marchers” converge on Washington, niainly by automobile. .\ serious Com-j munist uprising?

Gray, president of the I.auren.<t county unit of the Farmt.s and Taxpayers league: Ijaurens, S. C., Dec. 14. 1931, Dear Sir: As one who I believe is interested ,in the tax situation in South Carolina I and in Laurens county, I am request ing you to attend a meeting of tha Farmers and Taxpayers leagxte at the Laumns court house Monday morning, December 21, at 11 o’clock. The main object of the meeting is to further organize the county into a compact unit for the purpose of co-operating with the state league in arranging an economic program for *tate and coun ty government. Please come yourself and notify others to attend. - If the meeting desires, recommen dations will be drawn np both as to the state appropriation and the county supply bill. The meeting will be an open forum and all interested are urged to attend ''or the purpose of public discussion and concerted action. It is hoped that officials of the league will be present to explain its main objective.® W. L GRAY, President Laurens jounty Unit. ('(). LX CI.S .lu^t htfore his trim of offiio end- lhI, on Deiemhcr 7, Governor Flem D. Sampson of Kentucky commissioned me a colonel in his staff. That was another gesture, signifyitig nothing but the climax of a jesting remark on my part that the best seats in the grand-stand at the lA)ui#vi!le race- jliack s<*t meTTTo he reserve<l for the governor’s staff. 1 don’t know how many staff colonels there are with I these Kentucky titles, hut at least I’m in good company and plenty of it. In France, when the government j wants to make a friendly ge.sture to ward one of its citiz<‘ns or a visitor, it bestows the rildioti of the la'gion of , Honor upon him. Italy gives the title I of ‘‘Commendatore.” Kentucky makes ! him a colonel. All of those are merely graceful ge.'tures. 0| PORT Xithola Vachel Liiu.-»‘.y, tramping the countryside and v(“citing his poems for his meals and lodging, was the nearest approach in our time to he wandering minstrels of the mbldle ages, the bard.s and minnesingers who recited their heroic epics in the halls of the great or sang their ballads from house to house. In that wi.se, blind Homer, “fath(‘r of epic poetry,” re.^ited his Iliad and Odys.«ey in an cient Greece. V’achel Lindsay is dead. The worhl has lost a real.poet, America a great interpreter of the national spirit. His .splendid voice, with its dramatic (juality that made the heat.c. seem to see the sr-enes he desc-ribed, iias been preserved for posterity in phonograph recoitls made at Columbia university. Lindsay’s greatest pcem, in my rpinion, is “General William Booth Knters Into Heaven.” Reading it, one hoars the boom of the bass drums in the Celestial brass band! I hope that when Vachel Lindsay’s spirit en tered into that heaven in whi"h he so profoundly believed, the angelic brass es blared for him, too. FARMERS To hear politicians and uri.nfo.med city folk talk, anybody would get the idea that all of the farmers in the United States were on the verge of starvation. Anybody who knows the facts about farming in any part of he country knows that is nonsense. It is the “one-crop,” spec-ulative farm ers who are constantly clamoring to congress for “relief.” I heard C. F. Collison, farm editor of the Minneapolis Tribune, tell a group of New York business men the other day how the efforts of his news paper, in ten years, have cut down the wheat acreage in four states and made the products of the cow. the sow and the hen worth several times as much as the wheat crop was ever worth in its best days. He suggested that butter-^ and eggs ought to be quoted on the produce exchange in stead of wheat. They would be a bet ter index of the farmer’s buying p<>w- er. I TEETH Eskimos have the best teeth of any race of people, but when Eskimo chil dren are given candy their teeth be gin to decay, Professor Waugh of Co lumbia university, tojd a meeting of dentists in New York the other day. Other dentists agreed that too much reliance should not be placed on the. toothbrush alone as a preventive of tooth decay. We .ire just beginning to leam that nature makes no allowances for our civilization. Our bodies are just as i primitive, and require just as much I exercise and just the same food ele ments as those of the primitive folk who had nothing to eat except yrhat each for himself could catch or kill, dig out of the erdund or pick off a bush or a tr^.
