i Mr. Kokichi Mikimoto, able Jap
anese gentleman, once a peddler of
noodles, is now
gigantically rich,
thanks to his oys
ter pearl idea.
He makes real
pearls by forcing
the oyster to
work at pearl
production. In
stead of diving
for oysters, hop
ing to find one
with a pearl in it,
he puts little, ir
ritating grains of
sand inside the
shells of millions
of oysters, and
each oyster proceeds to deposit the
pearly substance on the sand to
escape its irritating scratching.
These pearls are “real.” Al
though experts can tell the differ
ence, they annoy jewelers and
have hurt the value of the other
accidental pearls, but they make
it unnecessary for the unfortunate
pearl diver to “go all naked to the
hungry shark,” as the poet has it.
Mr. Mikimoto has been obliged to
kill hundreds of millions of oysters,
which is serious: his Buddhist re
ligion teaches that each has its little
separate soul—in fact, the soul of
his great-grandmother might have
resided in one of the oysters.
/in American who recently died

five and thirty million dollars, chief
ly in tax-exempt securities on which
the owner, while he lived, paid no
Income tax. Now that he is dead,
inheritance taxes will take about
two-thirds of the many millions.
The lack of a "deed-or alive" tax-
exempt securities offers opportunity
to some able lawyer. If the govern
ment has no constitutional right to
take any income from tax-exempt
bonds, how can It legally take half
merely because the owner is in his
coffin?

Chiang Kai-Shek, dictator of the
Nanking government, warns China,
"No nation can ruin us unless we
flrat nun ourselves." emphasizing
the fact that the short road to na

much as China needs it.
England fears that quarrels
among union men may cause strikes
in airplane factories and delay
Britain's effort to get ready for her

British workers, quarreling among
themselves, that when foreign
bombs begin dropping on their
families any strike against national
safety will seem to have been fool

Tremendous Victory ^of President Roosevelt Gives Him
Electoral Vote of 523 to 8 for Landon—Con
gress More Strongly Democratic.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
® Wcttern Newspaper Union.
••TIT’E LIKE your New Deal poli-
V » cies and have complete con
fidence in your administration. Go
as far as you like.”
That in effect was
the message sent to
Franklin Delano
Roosevelt by more
than twenty-five mil
lion American men
and women when
they voted to con
tinue him in the
Presidency for an
other four years. It
was the most tre-
m e n d o u s victory
ever scored by a
Presidential candi
date since the days of James Mon
roe, for Mr. Roosevelt captured the
523 electoral votes of 46 states.
Only Maine and Vermont, with five
and three electoral votes respective
ly, were won by Landon and Knox,
the Republican candidates. Their
popular vote, when all returns are
in, and tabulated, may be fifteen
and a half million.
The amazing New Deal landslide
is looked upon by most unbiased
observers not as a Democratic party
victory, but a personal triumph for
President Roosevelt, an expression
of confidence in him and a recogni
tion of the improvement in the coun
try's business and industry. It was
so overwhelming that the President
may well consider he has been
given carte blanche to do as he
pleases in carrying his policies on
to their logical ends. What he may
please to do depends largely on
pending decisions by the Supreme
Court of the United States on New
Deal legislation.
President Roosevelt, moreover,
will have at his command a con
gress more heavily Democratic than
were the last two. for the lingering
hopes of the Republicans that they
could capture enough seats to en
able them. In conjunction with con
servative Democrats, to put up ef
fective resistance to New Deal
measures, were not realised. The
New Deal majority In the new sen- I
ate will be about five to one. and
in the hojee it will be almost four
to one. The few Republicans will
be permuted to take part In debate,
but when It cornea t«> a vote the
congress will be virtually a one-
party affair.
Governor Landon and Colonel
Knox, his running mate, accepted
their defeat gracefully and sent to
Mr Roosevelt congratulatory tele
grams promising to support, as good
Americans, his efforts for the wel
fare of the country. The President
responded with wires expressing hts
confidence that "all us Americana
will now pull together for the com-
> mon food.”
The Republican party, despita Its
terrific drubbing. Is not dead Its
national organisation la Intact and
ft. and such organisations as the
American Liberty league, the Sen
tinels of America and the Volun
teers. will continue their efforts to
keep the ship of state on an even keel
and headed in the right direction.
William Lemke. candidate of the
Union party, failed to carry a state
and his popular vote was not im-
pressne, but he was re-elected to
congress from North Dakota on the
Republican ticket.
Incidentally, John N. Gamer, who
mas scarcely mentioned during the
hectic campaign,
was re-elected vice
president and will
preside over the sen
ate again. He took
no real part in the
battle, just riding
along with his chief.
Among the well-
known , Republican
senators unseated
by the upheaval are
Daniel O. Hastings
of Delaware, Lester
J. Dickinson of
Iowa. Jesse H. Metcalf of Rhode
Island and Robert D. Carey of Wyo
ming. The one gain by that party
was the Massachusetts seat won
by Henry Cabot Lodge II, grandson
of the noted senator. He succeeded
in defeating Gov. James M. Curley,
Democratic boss of the state. The
Michigan seat of the late James
Couzens was won by Representative
Prentiss M. Brown, who beat For
mer Gov. W. M. Brucker. William
E. Borah of Idaho, Arthur Capper
of Kansas and Charles L. McNary
of Oregon, all listed as Republicans,
were re-elected; and so was George
Norris of Nebraska who ran this
year as an independent with the
approval of Mr. Roosevelt. Min
nesota Democrats meekly accepted
the wrecking of their state ticket
by New Deal orders and helped
elect Ernest Lundeen, Farmer-La-
borite, to the senate. New Hamp
shire, the only state in which the
Presidential vote was at all close,
sends a Republican to the senate
in the person of Gov. H. Styles
Bridges. Other governors who won
in senate contests were Theodore
Francis Green of Rhode Island, who
defeated Senator Metcalf; Clyde L.
Herring of Iowa, victor over Senator
John N.
Garner
President
Roosevelt
Dickinson, and Ed C. Johnson of
Colorado, who defeated Raymond L.
Sauter.
Among the many Republican
members of the house of repre
sentatives who failed of re-election
were Isaac BaCbarach of New
Jersey, Chester Bolton of Ohio and
Mrs. Florence P. Kahn of Califor
nia. George H. Tinkham of Mas
sachusetts and Bertrand H. Snell
of New York, minority leader, re
tained their seats. The new house
will have five woman members, one
fewer than in the last session.
Oregon elected its first woman rep
resentative, Nan Wood Honeyman,
Democrat and close friend of the
Roosevelt family.
A T LEAST 25 states elected Dem-
ocratic governors, and the num
ber may be 27. In only three were
the Republican nominees winners.
William Langer, independent, won
the governorship of North Dak
ota, from which he was ousted some
time ago. Elmer Benson, Farmer-
Laboritc, was victorious in Minne
sota, and Philip F. LaFollette, Pro
gressive, in Wisconsin. New York
re-elected Gov. Herbert Lehman,
but he ran far behind President
Roosevelt. Gov. Henry Homer of
Illinois, Democrat, also won, but his
vote, too, was far less than that for
the head of the ticket.
P RESIDENT ROOSEVELT, leav
ing Hyde Park for Washington
to “try to balance the budget," as
he said, authorized the announce
ment that on November 17 he would
start on a cruise on the warship In
dianapolis for a rest of about four
weeks, and that It was possible he
might go to Buenos Aires. Argen
tine, to open the Pan-American
peace conference on December 1.
He may also visit Rio de Janeiro.
T AMES A. FARLEY, manager of
J the triumphant Roosevelt cam
paign. resumed his office of poet-
master general, attending the first
poet-election meeting of the cabinet.
He said he would serve out his terra
but refused to comment on predic
tions that he would not be In the

The Democratic national chair
man. commenting on the election,
called attention to hie exact fore
cast that Roosevelt would carry
every state except Maine and Ver
mont. end added "We would have

the September election."
PkEFENSE MINISTER EDOUARD
^ DALADIER sees a possibility
of a swift attack on Franca by
Germany, so he urged upon the
chamber of deputies
army committee the
immediate fortifica
tion of the Belgian
and Swiss frontiers
and the speeding up
of manufacture of
war materials. He
asked the commit
tee to recommend
an appropriation of
500,000.000 francs to
fortify the borders
with another "Mag-
inot line” of steel
and concrete "pill boxes” and un
derground passages.
Obligatory physical training for
cil Frenchmen, beginning at the
age of eighteen, was proposed by
Daladier as an aid to building up
the French army.
The number of professional troops
in the army, he asserted, has been
increased in the last few months
from 106,000 to 144,000.

ING EDWARD VIII, making his
first parliamentary appearance
since he succeeded to the throne of
England, opened parliament with
all the traditional ceremony. His
throne stood alone in the house of
lords and beside it rested the crown
which has not yet been placed on
his head. Robed in crimson and
gold, the monarch read his address
to the nation, beginning with his
affirmation of the Protestant faith.
"My relations with foreign powers
continue to be friendly,” he said.
“The policy of the government con
tinues to be based on membership
in the League of Nations.”
He took up in turn the points of
his government’s proposed pro
gram. It would, he promised, work
with other nations through the
league, for peace. It would “per
sist in efforts” to build a new Lo
carno treaty and to extend the (
naval armaments limitations treaty
signed last March by Britain,
France, and the United States.
The government, he announced,
will call an imperial conference in
London next May, and that after
his coronation he would go to India
to be crowned emperor.

S PANISH rebels continued their
bombing of Madrid by airplanes,
and on the land were rapidly forc
ing their way toward the capital.
Their vanguard, at this writing, was
within four miles of the city and
their artillery was preparing to drop
shells in its center. The left wing
of General Varela’s army was on
• hill dominating the Cuatro Vien-
tos airport. It was apparent that
a decisive battle for possession of
Madrid would soon begin, and ob
servers had little doubt of the suc
cess of the insurgents. However,
the loyal militia were rushing to the
front to meet the attackers, and
the citizens, though greatly
alarmed, displayed excellent dis
cipline. *
The international committee for
nonintervention acquitted soviet
Russia of nearly all the German
charges that it had broken the com
pact by providing the Spanish loyal
ists with munitions.
ZHANGS of young toughs in Lon-
^ don, taking advantage of the
political unrest marked by the rows
between Sir Oswald Mosley’s -Fas
cists and the Socialists and Com
munists, have been terrorizing the
parts of the metropolis inhabited
chiefly by Jews. Houses and shops
occupied by Jews have been stoned
and pillaged and Jews are insulted
and attacked on the streets.
The cost of insurance against
damage due to r^ots in the east
end is rising rapidly. Many traders
and shopkeepers who have not pre
viously been insured against these
risks are hastening tq obtain cover.
P\OWN in Peru they have their
own methods of handling polit
ical matters. In the recent elections
Dr. Luis Antonio Eguiguren, nom
inee of the Social Democratic party,
had a plurality over the three othei
presidential candidates. But his can
didacy was not favored by the exist
ing government, so the constituent
assembly, by a vote of 58 to 17,
declared the votes cast for Egui
guren and the Social Democratic
candidates for vice president, sen
ators and deputies were invalid.

* time workers on th« Paciflq
coast went on strike, and im

coasts. In the west

that way faced

crews on arrival. In
New York members
of the International
Seamen’s union
voted a "sit down"

their national offi
cers, and maritime workers tr

waterfront. Federal officials were
trying hard to settle the dispute#
between the unions and shipping

to control of the hiring halls, wags

McGrady was in San Francisco and

"When any group, whether bank

tion they are assuming a position
that Ihe government must challenge
to protect the state and the people."
McGrady said.
"The free flow of water-borne for
eign and interstate commerce has
become paralyzed. This will involve
directly or indirectly the lives of the
citizens of the whole nation."
San Francisco had the added dis
tress of a strike of 1,000 warehouse
men who demanded higher wages,
and Mayor Angelo Rossi was mus
tering his forces to meet both this
trouble and the maritime strike. He
expected violent warfare along tha
waterfront and said he would taka
the necessary steps to protect pub
lic interests. The police set up head
quarters in the Ferry building.

field.
The rescue of Paul from the Jew
ish mob by the Roman authorities
resulted in consideration of his case
on their part to determine what
manner of man he was, and why
his words and actions provoked such
violent reactions among the Jewish
subjects of Rome in Judea. When
it appeared that Festus, who was
procurator, was inclined to turn
him over to the Jews at Jerusalem,
Paul, knowing of their hatred,
makes
I. An Appeal to Caesar (Acts
28:16-19). '
It was an act of great signifi
cance, and largely determined the
course of Paul’s life and ministry
until his death. It is a question
upon which there is no little dif
ference of opinion whether Paul was
right in making this appeal. Per
haps Dr. G. Campbell Morgan has
best gathered up the truth of the
matter in saying, “His way was
that of an attitude revealing for all
time what the duty of the Christian
man is—to be true to his Lord, to
be true to his conscience, to be
loyal to the powers that be, and
to make his appeal to them where
necessary, for protection, in order
that he may continue his work in
accordance with the will of his
Lord." Paul made no appeal to
save his own life, but he did want
to continue his ministry. And this
he was permitted to do, for after
he had come to Rome we find him
to be
II. A Prisoner Preacher (w 20-
24. 20. 31).
He was chained, but not silenced
He was anxious that those In Rome
should “see" and "speak with" him
(v. 20). They knew of the Christian
“sect" only by rumor ss one "which
everywhere is spoken against" (v.
22). He now proclaimed the truth
to them, and with what results? j
"Some believed . . . and some
disbelieved" <v. 23). Again, we see
that the greatest of ell preachers
met just the same encouragement
and discouragement that we face.
The witness and mesrenger to not
judged by the success that crowns
his efforts, but by the faithfulness
with which he discharges his duty. |
Let us not condone our own car*-1
leasness or inefficiency by saying
that even Paul was unsuccessful.
but If ws have been faithful and
diligent, let us be encouraged even
though some disbelieve.
Verse 30 Indicates that Paul either
had a large measure of liberty, be
ing permitted even aa a prisoner
to dwell in a private house, or that
he was tried and acquitted and con
tinued to work in Rome for a period
of years. Whichever may be true
we cannot but admire the faitliful
testimony of this man upon whose
body time and trials had borne
heavily, but whose spirit was aa
young and aa powerful as the mes-
sage he presented. And what was

Christian men and women are
those who were weak (v. 6), un
godly (v. 6), unrighteous sinners
(v. 7, 8), and enemies of God (v.
10). But having been justified by
his blood (v. 9), they are "saved”
(v. 9). What a beautiful word —
“saved!” Brought back to God,
“reconciled to God through the
death of his Son” (v. 10), we are
indeed saved if we have accepted
him as our Saviour.
This was Paul’s message, and it
is our message to a lost world.
Count Your Mercies
Be on the lookout for mercies.
The more we look for them the
more of them will we see. Blessings
brighten when we count them. Out
}f the determination of the heart
the eyes see. If you want to be
gloomy, there’s gloom enough to
keep you glum; if you want to be
glad, there’s gleam enough to keep
jrou glad. Say, “Bless the Lord, O
my soul, and forget not all his
oenefits.” Better lose count in his
enumerating your blessings than
*086 your blessings in telling over
your troubles. - “Be thankful unto
nim and bless his name.”—Maltbie

One truly Christian life will do
more to prove the divine origin of

It is of much greater importance
to develop Christian character,
than to exhibit Christian evidences.
