McDonald of Oconee for a general probe by a leg islative committee into all the work ings of the constabulary, which is yn- der the governor’s office. -•'Graham and E. C. Johnston were charged by C. H. Price and F. H. Blakely, ^neca liquor dealers, with defrauding them of $100 and $150, re spectively upon the claim a case ten tatively made against them. Johnston was quoted at Anderson as .saj^ing the^harges were “a politi cal frameup, engineered by Oconee county enemies of the governor.” The allegations became known here about ten days ago, and Chief J. Hen ry Jeanes of the state constabulary said Graham was suspended “several days ago.” - \ The governor said he had,informed Jeanes'and Attorney General John Mi Daniel of the-reports reaching him, and had discussed them with the state tax commission as the administrative body for the liquor law. Chairman W. G. Query of the tax commission said Price and Blakely were .legally licensed dealers against whom no charges had ever been brought. The governor explained “My atti tude in the matter has been to avoid Washington, Feb. 18.—Two Cath olic members of the house today lashed from the floor to the chamber ak Father Charles E.

Representative bConnor (Democrat) of New York was joined by Representative Boland of Pennsylvania, the Democratic whip. The New Yorker spoke more calmly, ap'ologizing for his sharp references to Father Coughlin’s “clerical garb” ished in 1688. Until 1901, when the present King’s grandfather succeeded his mother Queen Victoria, there was a constant fear in England of another “Jacob ite Rising” to put the House of Stu art back on the throne. Fingerbowls werl long banned at important pub lic banquets, lest some secret adher ent to Stuart cause, in drinking the toast “To the King” should hold his wineglass over the fingerbowl and so drink to “The King over the Water.” In late years the Jacobites have contented themselves with gathering at the statue of Charles J in Trafal gar Square on January 20 each year denouncing the reigning monarch as usurper. This year, however, they postponed the denunciation to March 27, so as not to annoy the mourners ior King George X Some of my Canadian friends tell me that their Jacobite “Society of the White Rose,” has a jolly time at their annual dinners, denying the claim to the British throne of the monarclv at whose call they would all .

'TheyVe done it in England by buying cheap farm land a.-Iong way from town, and paying building trade workers about one-tftird the wages they get in America, I’ve seen some of the European low- cost housing develojMnents. They" are all based on land values far below ours, lower labor costs, and remission of all taxes on lands and-buildings-for twenty years or more. Even then, the very poor can’t afford to live in them. i"' A Thei^ was a movement in the house but fiot for those he made about the WEALTH—Needs Watching When yoiing John Jacob Astor III quit his $25 a week job with the steamship line of which his half- brother, Vincent Astor, is vice-presi dent, a lot of people spoke sneeringly of the “idle rich,” jumping to the conclusion that the young man was nothing but a “playboy” after all. But to me his explanation that the 48 hours of work every week took up so much of his time that he couldn’t attend to his personal business affairs properly, sounds quite reasonable. “In times like th^,” he said, “you have to watch things pretty closely.” He has had to leant young that it is easier to make money than to*keep it.

He made that threat after Father Coughlin in a radio address Sunday had accused him pf intimidating house members into withdrawing their names from a petition to force a vote on the $3,000,000,000 infla tionary Frazier-Lemke farm mort gage refinancing bill. •But as members stood and shouted their approval, OK^onnor thundered ill conclusion: “I propose to meet any challenge as to my reputation even though that challenge is hurled at me by a man of God.” Boland said at the outset he h^ no apology 'to* offer.
