For several years we have been
heur.ng about a disease commonly
cadcd-"rabbit fever, but until recently
there had not been a ease in
th; - section of the country. However,
there is one in l'ageland. The
Rev. James B. Little contracted the

killed w hile hunting. l'he serious

Capital Observations
(Special Correspondence)
Washington, Jan. 2. The government
printing office is the bilffefOHt
)>' int injif establishment in the world,
located in a building of great size,
covering' seventeen acre? of floor
space, There are about 4.J00 employes,
approifhing number the
population of Camden. Printing is
done exclusively for all branches of
iho government -crvico, and over <10,
iOU.OOO publication- are produced and
distributed annually.
The year now ({one, wan one
of profound change, marking the climax
of the economic depression
which began in lbliP, At' least it is
Imped and believed that the turning
poipt has definitely been passed. lOxt.noidinary
m?u*ur< s were udoptcd
nationally to meet an unprecedented
situation, affecting practically the entire
population, and these measures
are not yet fully developed. Some
may become permanent features and
some may pass with the emergency,!
but it is plain that the "New Deal"
has. made an indelible impression upon
our economic structure in many j
particulars which will remain fixed, i
as far as anything .be permanent'
in human affairs.
* * * *
In congress, again in session tomorrow,
the national Republican party
will present a pitifully insignificant
figure, overwhelmingly outnumbered
in both houses, and with a great
proportion of its ablest leaders absent'
becaU.se of defeat in the 'recent
past. Dominant, .arrogant and presumptions,
the aggregation held sway
for twelve years, ignoring the inter-,
is!-, of the' misM'V and catering to
On welfare of the classes only, until
laid low by an uprising of the entire
country. One prominent Republican,
stend'tor Capper, of Kupsa.s, frankly'
admits thai ire" intends further to aid
n thetf national recovery program,
'nether acknowledging that there is
no question trial the president "still
ha- the. people with him." Another
prominent Republican, Settlor Reed,
m" I Ynn -ylvania., states that he. finds
that the J'resident i s "personally very
p .pular/'jLu/hulds that this personal
I-opolarity does not extend to several |
of the administration policies. He
r-e.n.mlTiends that his party should begin
to function a< "an active vocal
minority," hut his party will find it
hard to find something in opposition
to be active and vocal about..
*
This i- election year, and there will
be a great deal of discussion and ndv.ce
tis to voting for the best man.
Abatg this line, it is painfully true
that there is a great deal in the ob
er\ at ion of a liomely philosopher
that we would all like to vote for the
i . g man. but he i- never a candidate.
4 ?
.Another' reference to litis being
electiort year is that it will doubtless
br.ng about efforts for a short s.es.,iim
in bp.th congress and the South
('a i oiina legislature. Members who
will contend for re-election, and most
of them will, have reason to avoid
; controversial subjects, .>o that their
; records may be cleat, snappy and
j concise.
* *
In congress the Democrats may be
expected to back the president about
as strongly as they did during the
extra session commencing last
Spring. This is particularly true in
states where there will be strong Republican
opposition. They must stand
on the record made by the administration,
and win or lose according to
the approval or disapproval of that
record. On broad grounds there is
little room for contention, and for
Democrats to level harsh attacks at
the president and his policies would
merely give aid and comfort to their
i political enemies.

OUR CHILI)RKN
One cannot sorrow too deeply ovei
the miserable state into which our
tuition has fallen. In the movies, over
[the radio, in our current literature, <
there is too much picturing and
printing and parleyvooing of kill, rob,
.murder, kidnap. ,
Kven iu?the "funnies," so clamored
for by the children, there arc revoh
vers, knives, Kims, handcuffs. Crimea
concocted. Schemes for bank-break'
ings. Wans for kidnaping. Kver>
member of the family following the
development* with more interest than
a circus parade. Even Santa, the.
representative of the Prince of Peace,
comes down the chimney lugging patois,
guns, toy soldiers.
Foolish parents we are! We condenin
crinVe, ami yet we laugh about
it. Laugh about it in the jlrdsence
of our children. It's a joke how the
bootlegger got away with it. A tantalizing
question whether the kidnaper
got caught. First thing when
the paper arrives we are asking for
it to see what has happened.
Is it any surprise that youth looks
upon a gun or upon killing somebody
or upon "filling them full of
lead," ns a common, innocent, everyday
matter? As common as going
for a ride; or, "What docs the weather
bureau say?" or "Please pass the
bread?"
This daily and insistent stamping
upon pliable minds the impression
that the most fearful and fateful
tiling of life is funny violates one
of the most fundamental of psychological
principles, namely, that what
.is laughed at does not matter. It
violates another, still more deadly;
humans unconsciously imitate what
I pleases them. It is an otVshoot or
by-produCl1 of exhibitionism.
Our mollifying mistake is that we
.on-ider it all so funny. That it is
healthy to luugi). To see,the joke in
everything. Told so impressively and
so often that we should be optimistic,
wo have confounded optimism with
lu-.ng silly, fooli>h. ciounish. Lost
to all sins' of pi'oporcioiij? Obsessed
with the habit of trying to make life
a big. jolly laugh, when l)ie best of
life is anything e!>e but. a laugh. ^
Lite! Immortality's Childhood! More
(serious than death. An art. in which
the best of us are only amateurs. A
mystery too frail and true and deep
for careless human nature in'a/busy
world to understand. To probe the
depths of. To behold its glory. To
realize its beauty and dignity. We
have forgot, if indeed we ever knew,
that it is the most valuable, most
lovable, most mysterious and precious
thihg -we run possibly imagine or
ever hope to have. Its training. Its
emichment. Its' dclicateness. I Incase
with which it can be destroyed,
and yet still live on in its dead self
to ties troy others!
No. Life is not a ha-ha. True,
j ha-has are good. . F.qually true, tln-y
j a re al>o had. Ciood or bad, iilw u\ and
unchangeably, according to what
1 auses them. A good laugh :s sun!
shine in the house; but there is a
laugh that is akin to weeping. Just
as observant people have noticed: immoderate
laughter always ends in a
sigh. Probably in nothing do men
so reveal themselves, reveal what
they are and what they may become,
as by what they laugh at.
Two recent news items hold our attention
particularly. The one about
how mothers fearfully held close
their children when recently startled
by the kidnaping; the other, about
a 13-year-old girl telling how she
killed her eight-year-old playmate.
The question instantly raised by these
i two items is: Why do not -mothers
hold their children closer before such
. crimes occur? It requires no phyi
chologist to trace the beginning of
murders. Usually if one goes back,
there'll bo found something wrong in
the atmosphere wherein the child is
horn. Something that shouldn't have
been talked about at table. How the

Lights of New York
by L. L. STEVENSON
Hoy Mason was recalling tlm time,
yearn and years ago, when, fresh froiq
Yale, he was handling publicity for
the great agricultural expedition organized
by the late It. V. Yoakuin,
president of the Hock Island railroad.
Finding Uiat his road wasn't getting
the business It should beeauso farmers
a I" rig the line. COUltl U"t haul their
cfyps to tti?? stations, Mr. Yoakuin Invlted
hearts Of various agricultural op
ganl/.atloiis to he his guests oil a trip
to Washington and through the Lust,
the Idea, of course, being to give u
practical lesson in the building of good
roads. Engineers were uiemhers of
the party so mat whenever u slop was
nut do where good roads were being
Imi111. every step of the process could
he explained. Vim expedition was a
groat sueces*. Not ojnl'.v was the Lust
busy huilding good road> bill even the
governors of several States acted us
ofllelnl greeters.
-<y '
Members of ttie party were not ftl? ?
lowed to spend a cent. They truveled
In u private car and the best of everything
was made available for them.
They were duly Impressed and quickly
saw the advantage of good roads. So
they went back to their homes and
advocated and built good roads. The
thousands of dollars spent on the expedition
seemed a good Investment as
freight Increased greatly. Hut wltb
the good roads came the motor truck
and thus. Mr. Yoakum, by his Initiative,
was assisting In creating opposition
that has cost the railroads of
the country millions and millions of
dollars.
Amusing Incidents In " connection
with the expedition were also recalled.
There was the bearded gentleman
from Texas. After a big dinner,
the delegation was taken to the Hippodrtnue.
At that time, the great tank .
was In full operation and before their
astonished eyes hundreds and hundreds
of beautiful young women
marched Into the tank and disappeared
under the water. The Lone
Star representative was absolutely
certain that the water wasn't* real?
so certain that he was willing to bet I
$a that he wasn't afraid to jump In.
The bet was taken. He mounted to
the stage, leaped-?and all but drowned.
He couldn't swim a stroke 1
To complete arrangements for the
series, "The Incredible liarrymores,"
Sumner Newton Hlossom, editor of the
American Magazine, went out to Hollywood
to confer with John Hnrrymore.
In the course of numerous discussions,
the talk turned from literature to an
Intimate and essential nrtlcle of baby's
wearing apparel. It seems that there
are two methods of folding and adjusting
the piece of linen, the actor holding
that one was far better and the
editor, who huf had experience with
white ducks since he was a lieutenant
In the navy In the World war. advocating
the other. The discussion went
on and on until quite late In the night.
*
Finally, neither being able to clinch
Ills argument. Hnrrymore suggested
that the\ awaken'Hie Hnrrymore baby
and try out both methods. Hlossom
agreed and the Infant was duly
aroused. Hut. unfortunately, the baby
didn't care to he used as clinical material
and didn't hesitate to voice loud
objections. That resulted In Mrs.
Hnrrymore being awakened. She rescued.
the child and the knotty point,
so far as the actor and editor are concerned,
Is not yet settled.

An attorney friend was telling me
of an experience In his early days.
He had obtained a Judgment for $500
and went out to serve It. The debtor
didn't seem to be disturbed at all.
"How much is It?" he asked. The attorney
told him. "Oh, thn't's all right,"
was the reply. "Just give me 05 cents
so I can got home and you can add
$200 to your Judgment."
