DEM LEADERS
LOSE RELIEF
WAGEBATTLE
WASHINGTON. Feb 23.-h*>,
Striving to recoup after a defeat in
itoe senate, Roosevelt leaders looked
hopefully to the house Friday to
Wook ultimate adoption of the Mc
Carran prevailing wage amendment
to the $4,880,000,000 relief bill.
Not even a warning by Senator
Olaas, of Virginia, that a veto im
pended. nor a letter from President!
Roosevelt assenting the bill would
be administered to protect existing
wage levels would swing the tide
against the amendment as the sen
ate^approved it late Thursday by 44
Long Has Hand
The climax of the wages fight
found Senator Long tD-La > dealing
a blow to the Roosevelt plans he
criticizes. After striding around the
chamber all day. conversing with
senators and seeking to marshal
strength in favor of the McCarran
amendment, he played a leading
hand in a quick switch of pairs ’’
Some senator* attributed the ad
ministration defeat to his efforts.
His trump card was the authority
which he said he obtained to pair
the vote of Senator Hattie Caraway
of Arkansas.
A pair occurs when an absent
senator offsets his vote against the
vote of another senator on the op
posing side of the question They
agree that their votes shall not be
counted in the total. Senator Dick-1
inson (R-Ia>. tn favor of the amend
ment. originally was paired with
Senator Arkley <D-Ky*. opposed.
The Iowan then transferred his pair
to Senator Frazier fR-ND).
Frazier later appeared to vote
“aye" and so Dickinson's pair was
shifted to the absent Mrs Caraway.
Dickinson voted for the McCarran
amendment and it went over the
top bv a single ballot.
Senator Robinson democratic
leader who is Mrs. Caraway's col
kage from Arkansas, questioned
the transfer, but Long triumphantly
announced that the required au
thority had been granted.
As the senate turned to half a
dozen other controversial amend
ments. house leaders expressed the
belief Friday that the wage provi
sion could be eliminated, leaving
the administration free to pay “se
curity wages’’ of about $50 a month
on public works The McCarran
proposal is to pay the rates prevail
ing in private industry.
Hear Stirring Words
It was evident the leaders felt it
could be eliminated In conference
between senate and house, which
already has passed the relief bill in
lorm desired by the administration.
Proponents of the amendment ex
pressed doubt, however, that the
leaders’ optimism was well founded.
Not tor many a day had the sen
ate listened to such stirring words
as those that preceded Thursday's
vote on the proposal of Senator
McCarran «D-Nev).
Glass warned that tne wage earn
ers would be first to suffer if the
nation’s credit were damaged
In the letter sent to Glass and
read ot the senate just before the
roil call, the president said:
"I object to and deny any asser
tion that the payment ol wages to
workers now on relief rolls at less
than the prevailing rate of wages
may. under some theory, result in
a lowering of wages paid by private
employer*
“I say this because it is an obvious
fact—first, that the iederal govern
ment and every state government
will act to prevent reductions, and
secondly because public opinion
throughout the country will not
sustain reductions."
Revue Is Success

HARLINGEN, Feb. 22 —Succd* of
the Kiwanis Kiddie Vodvil revue
presented Wednesday night In the
high school auditorium passed all
expectations.
The revue was directed and ar
ranged by Lora Mae Baxley of Tyler

ceremonies and Mrs. Louise Tuck
er. accompanist.

dren in the cast including many
pupils of the Jane Daugherty school
of dancing.
It costs $2,500,000,000 annually to
operate the public schools in this
country, according to estimates.
SUNDAY SCHOOL
LESSON
Test: Act# 1:1-It; 4:1-1*
The International Uniform Sunday
School Lesson for Feb. *4
By WM. K. GILROY. D. D.
Editor of Advance
The incident of the healing of the
lame man lying at the beautiful gate
of the temple lays strong hold of the
imagination and is very incisive in
some of its suggestions and teach
ings.
Peter and John were going up into
the temple at the hour of prayer
That in itself wa# a very interest
ing circumstance.
The temple was the great central
symbolic Institution of Jewish life
and worship. It represented the au
thority of those who had so recently
been instrumental In crucifying
Jesus. Yet peter and John were go
mg into the temple to pray.
If they had followed the course of
certain people in the churches since
churches were established, how dif
ferent would have been their atti
tude. Instead of going into the tem
ple to pray they would probably have
leen found saying. “We'll never go
nside that temple again. Well never
.ave anything to do with a religion
hat has taken our Master and cruel -
.ied him.'1
a * m
That is the way people talk about
ihe church. Let some church mem
ber wrong somebody else, and the
.ndividuai wronged, utterly ignor
mg that one church member is no
he church, will be very apt to say.
•Til never have anything to do with
the church "
How much wiser and better was
he attitude of Peter and John! The
emple was not responsible for the
inful thing that had been done. The
:emple was to those who entered it?
portals whatever they made it. 11
one came with faith and as as
piration. the temple might inded be
a holy place.
Peter and John were not going to
cast the temple out of their lives be
cause men associated with the tem
ple had done unseemly and unholy
.hings. _
Then as we enter further into the
incident, how strikingly it* teaching
have ccme- home. The beggar at the
beautiful gate asked Peter and John
for alms They had no money to give
but Peter said to the beggar, "Look
on us."
The beggar, still expectant, looked
earnestly upon them. But Peter said
“Silver and gold have I none, but
what I have that give I thee.”
• • •
He proceeded then to perform a
miracle in healing the lame man. It
seems strange to us, and yet that is
the wav miracles are performed—by
those who apparently have nothing
to give, but who give what they have
If in the world today there were
that spirit of helpfulness, what great
miracles might be performed! The:
might not be miraculous In trans
cending law. but they would, never
theless, be wonderful in their re
suits.
How different, for the most part,
is our attitude. How wont we are to
say. "I can t afford anything I
haven’t anything to give." though
that is not always really true; and
there the matter ends.
How different, if we would say.
• We have little, but such as we have
we give ” Could we not even in our
poverty make the lives of other men
brighter and better?
Then there is a further symbol
ism in the narrative. Peter took
him by the right hand and raised
him up. He did not lecture him and
tell him that he had strength
enough to get up if he would try. He
did not even tell him to rise in his
own strength of God.
He took him by the right hand
and he lifted him up. After all. it is
about the only way In which we can
really help people. An outstretched
hand in brotherly help is more ef
fective than a great deal of theor
izing.
