M Chambers of San Antonio was a Labor Day orator in the shadows of the Alamo. In the days agone he was a state senator and repre sented the people of the Red River country district. He journeyed from the upper country to the lower and when John Tobin died his lieutenant became the mayor of the then first Texas city. He appeared be fore union labor at its 48th annual celebration in San Pedro park and urged ."a law tn give labor a saving wage and old age pension.” The latter, he declared, would be no more expensive than city and county poor larms. Then the mayor went all the road. He declared union labor "can get what it wants by all t oopcraUng to a single end and voting only for can didates who stand for the things that labor wants.” ^ajThere are two political machines in the county of ■Moar. Mayor Chambers is the head of the old city county machine. Yale Hicks. Frank C. Davis, John Boyle and William C. Wurzbach are the heads ol the new machine which cracked the old machine tn the July primary and captured seven important county offices. San Antonio is said to be an organized labor town. Mayor Chambers is not sleeping at the switch. He unfolded his program for the future on Labor Day. Henry Ford in the Lookout Chair ‘ Conditions were worse two years ago and last year than today and it looks now as If things were coming back,” remarked Henry Ford to a New York press i cpresentalive an hour before lie sailed on the liner Bremen for a six weeks' trip to Europe. Then he said something else: "All depression would not end in October but that a good start to return to prosperity would have been made l$y then.' Henry Fora has made $1,000,000,000 tn 30 years, b* Before he made the $1,000,000,000 as a manufacturer * of automobiles and tractors he received a wage of $2.50 a day as a machinist. He began in the ditch and Ir.r.dcd in the sky. In the business world he is one it the wizards. He knows that America is com mg oack. He knows that the world is coming. Business slumps. Then comes depression. Business evives after readjustment. Then comes prosperity. • This is the record as the historians have chronicled t from the beginning Georgia Governor Favors A Conference Gov. L. O. Hardman of Georgia, in a wire to Gov. Moody of Texas, suggested a conference of govern ors cf southern states and business men and farmers to discuss the cotton situation. He favors some plan that would give to the farmer a better price for his cotton but he thinks 15 cents is too low. However, the Georgia executive will be glad to cooperate In any plan designed to aid cotton growers of Georgia and the South. Removal from the market and storing of WO .000 bales for an indefinite period along the lines :Pggested by Gov. Moody would be placing the sur plus of 1930 where it would do the least harm until there is a brisk demand tor cotton in the markets of the world. Safety at Bathing Beaches Ifc; heat wave that has been sweeping the middle vest lately has brought with it the usual toll of Crownings. Hot weather drives people to the beaches to cool off. and makes them forget the elementary rules of safety that should be observed at such places. First and foremost, probably, comes the rule that it is not safe to go swimming, alone. In a pool or river where there are no qualified life guards. It is safer to stick to the public beaches. They may be crowded, but at least there are people there to give help if help is needed. On top of that Is the necessity for remembering that it is always dangerous to go in the water too roon after a meal. The man who bolts a heavy lunch and then rushes to the bathing beach is running a big risk. The readiness with which people run that risk on an unusually hot day probably goes far to explain the increased number of drownings during the last hot spell. Nye on Hi# Vacation Sen. Gerald P. Nye of North Dakota has gone on a short vacation to the lake regions of Wisconsin. Vacation over he will continue his investigation of the Illinois primary expenditures "no matter how unpleasant it may be." Speaking of the shadowing, of members of his committee the North Dakota senator declared he had been shadowed "to exasperation" snd added, "obnoxious as the whole business has been, it has not been without its humorous side and I am now more amused than annoyed.** Yes. quite true but what about the McCormick interogatory? This is what the lady said, "What is Sen. Nye going to do about it?" All this recalls the story of the British officer who was fond of tiger hunting in India. He vas asked if the sport was dangerous. His reply was to the point. "It is fun to hunt the tiger; it is hell when the tiger hunts you." Sen. Nye is a tiger hunter. - - Economic Conditions in Mexico Former State Senator A. P. Barrett of Fort Worth, oresident of Southern Air Transport company, found economic conditions in Mexico better than in the United States. He reported on his return to his na tive land that Mexico seems to be very busy, especially in aviation circles. While there he discovered many employed at the airports and hundreds studying aviation in the schools. Living conditions of toil ers in Mexico would not appeal to Texans who be lieve in high standards, fair wage scales, educational tacilitles of the best, modern housing, up-to date rai ment and many of the luxuries as well as all the necessities of life. American Machinery for Mexico More than a hundred carloads of American ma- * ehinery are being shipped through Laredo at this time for the installation at the Rio Mante project, about 80 miles west of Tampico, which is being con structed by the Mexican government. President Rubio is an engineer. He is doing his level best to keep Mexicans in Mexico. A constructive brain, in i high office is worth a thousand destructive brains in office holding circles. If given time Rubio may pull Mexico out of the dumps. Men who know him best say he is a thinker, a developer, a builder and not a demagogue or a hell-raiser. If so. happy Mexico. Ambassador Morrow Ready To Resign Ambassador Dwight W Morrow will return to the j United States Sept. 16. after three years of diplomacy j in the Republic of Mexico. Dwight W. Morrow has I made history in the field of diplomacy. In Novem- 1 ber the indications are that the voters of New Jersey i will elect him to the office of United States senator.' There arc republican leaders who would be pleasd to bring about the nomination of Morrow as a presi- | dential standard bearer in 1932. He has made a j success of every venture in life. If elected to the senate will his lucky rabbit foot lose its charm? Santo Domingo a Graveyard Santo Domingo, ancient and historical city, is a graveyard. It is said the hurricane was the worst in the history of the Carribean. Loss of life, 2000: j injured, 5000: property loss, S20.000.000 : 90 per cent of the buildings of Santo Domingo were wrecked, j Food supplies practically exhausted. All this recalls i the Qalvestcn horror, where the lives of thousands I were snuffed out and property loss staggering to the mind. Will Santo Domingo come back? Chicago j came back. Baltimore came back. San Francisco came back. Nearer home Galveston came back. Corpus Christ! came back. Why not Santo Domingo? .— -.■■■■■■ Senator Witt'* Resignation Senator Edgar E Witt, democratic nominee for the office of lieutenant governor, will send his resignrition to the governor on and after the November election.

Jer. 1:4-10; 31:27-34. BY IVM. E. GILROY D. V. Editor cf The Congregations!! :t From one of the so-ca’.ed minor |prophets, Amos, as we ha'.e seen, a man great in character at'd ser vice. we turn now to a major pr« phet. Jeremiah, sometimes noted for the doiefulncss of h.s message, but more noted lor the courage v. itii which he refused to use honeyed words in a tragic time and lor the pointedness of his rebuke to his age and the clearness of his mes sage concerning the way of life ana hope. The core of Jeremiah’s message is in his emphasis upon individual re sponsibility. It begins with him self. He is conscious of a call of Gcd that came in the very purpose of his life. He has the assurance that he was sanctified even before birth and that he has been called as a prophet. In spi:e of this ca i he feels his weekness. and he as sures the Lord that he knows net how to speak. But with all his hesitancy he heeds the call and goes to do and say the thing given him. It is a great picture of a man with a consciousness of a mission and with the determination to ful fill that mission even though he feels so little qualified for it. Individual Respon«!blUtv So he comes forward, daring to speak in the name of the Lord. He rpeaks to those %ho were hiding behind the law of heredity, and he reminds them that they are respon sible for their own iniquity, and that it is possible for them to make a covenant with Gcd as directly and powerfully as any that their fathers had made. He turns the mind of the people from the outward aspect of religion to its inwafd aspect. The law of God is in the inward parts, and it is wTitten in the hearts of men. Here we see Jeremiah striking a note very similar to that of Amos. Religion does not consist of icrm and observance; it has a deeper reality. It is an ideal picture that Jeremiah draws of a people with that law in their hearts determin ing their obedience to everything good. In the ideal kingdom that he thinks of zeal and know’edgc as creating, he pictures a lime when every individual will have his Dart in the true society, when none shall say to his brother ‘ know the Lord." for all shall know him from the least unto the greatest. It is not quite easy to grasp the significance of the work of these prophets. We read so much of the ideas and impressions of a later day into a record, and wc fail to see the extent to which the prophet was a man far ahead of his time, with strong individuality and with magnificent daring, expressing to the world the vision of his own soul in love and In righteousness The prophets of Israel stand as sublime figures in the records o£ history as unique in relation to their age. as great artists or au thors whose personalities hav« be come supreme above their environ ment. The deepest message that these prophets themselves would have en and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith 'the Lord, In these days they sha’l say no mere. The lathers have eaten a •cur grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge. Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new co venant with the house cf Israel, and with the house of Judah: Hot, according to the covenant that I made with their fathers, in the day that l took them by the hand to bring them cat of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake although I was a husband unto them, saith the Lord: But this rha’ 1 bo the covenant that I Till make with the house cf Israel; After these days, saith ho Lord. I will pul my law in fheir inward parts, and v rite it in their hear:*,; and will be their God, and they cht*:l be my people. And they shall ueach no more every man his neighbor, and every | man fcis brother, saying. Know the Lord; for thev ehail all know me, from '‘ho least cf them unto the oreatsst cf them, raith the Lord: fer I r ;,i forgive th*r iniquity, and I Will remember th..r tin no more. "sreed is that prophecy was not limned to themselves, or to any particular time or place. Prophecy s not so much foretelling as forth tcl'ing. The prophet was. and Is, the ■ v"*-- Sc met .ires he is a pr.esf erdeined to a particular calling and car ice. Sometimes he is a farmer, c- a herdsman, or a man ci posi l:cn end power—tut always, be he I priest cr layman, the distinctive ng abou e ] phet is hi char acter and his raescage Th.e i '• ■ • ■ Pm seer—looking into the h?arl cf tru*h and into the truth fearlessly to the conditions and problems of his age Mesaage Often Spurned The people around him did not always appreciate either his char acter o- his message. Sometimes they stoned hun or cast him into prison. Can re discern the prophet more clearly today? Or are we, ;.’ro. among those who stone the prophets? Surely there ar® prophets In the modem world, if we can discern their character and heed their mes sage-men <and women* whose vi sion is of a world of tomorrow, progressing in peace and righieous nc 5. moving forward in social wel fare through devotion to God and the service cf man.
