THE ONLY CREATOR: —ln the be
ginning was sthe Word, and the Word
was with God, and the Word was God.
Ail things were made by him; sod
without him mu not any thing made
that was made—John 11, 3.
THE PLAIN TRUTH.
Congress Is ready to quit and go
home, or upon the stump, and will
leave Washington without a positive
assurance to the country that the
Federal budget has actually been bal
anced. The whole truth and the plain
truth of the matter is simply that
Congress has been more interested in
whether members will be returned to
office In the November election. It
has not convinced the country that a
serious, honest attempt has been made
Jo balance the budget, other than by
slapping on higher taxes at a time
when every one is best able to pay
them, and without a genuine slash at
economy In government operations.
Relief proposals have been made in
the form of measures that have held
the greatest promise of garnering
votes five months hence.
' Commenting on the situation, the
Baltimore Sun says;
‘‘On the question of economy In
Washington, the plain truth Is that
the whole outfit is determined to get
from under. That goes for the Hoover
Administration and it goes for both
parties In Congress. They can impose
new taxes, and impose them with a
vengeance. But when the equally
necessary duty of retrenchment ie ap
proached. and moraily the more ob
ligatory duty, they run out and pots
begin calling kettles black.
“At no time has the move for
economy been free of political Jockey
ing. And at no time has either the
adm' r*i-uration or Congress teen on
firm ground as to what had been done
or what could be done. With Washing
ton full of accountants and bookkeep
ers, nobody either in the Administra
tion or in Congress made an honest
effort to trace out the effect of pro
posed curtailments for the purpose
of presenting a clear, definite and
dependable picture of the results. No
bedv either in the Administration or
in Congress has gone to the trouble
to guard against deception of the pub
lic through duplications of proposed
curtailments. Nobody either in the
Administration or in Congress has
surely and reliably segregated mere
postponements from actual curtail
ments They ajl started in Insincerity
and they have gone on In careless
inefficiency. When to that is added
their subservience to the various
groups that are interested in preserv
ing the status quo. the result could
scarcely have failed to be the farce
that the nation has witnessed. They
offer lip-service to economy in loud
shouts and they dodge constantly.
“It is a disgrace, for It amounts
to extortion and robbery upon a dis
tressed people. It also Is a menace,
for it leaves the national budget dis
tinctly short of the balance which was
promised by ail. TJmy all knew at
every stage of the tax bill's progress
that It did not carry enough to bal
ance the budget, not even after the
Administration belatedly and hesitant
ly revised Its estimates of need on
May 31 and Congress thereupon step
ped up in some measure the amount
of taxes At every stags they knew
that an honest balance of the budget
depended upon large economies as
well as upon taxes, and they repeat
edly promised large economies. But
once the taxes were laid, the standard
of a balanced budget has dropped In
neglect. Mr. Hoover and his Admin
istration. the RepobUean and the
Democratic leaden of Congress—all
of them—had their minds and their
Interests elsewhere.’*
MORRISON’S SUPPORTERS.
A good deal Is being said about
Frank Grist’s hopping onto the Mor
rison bandwagon in the run-off race
for the senatorial nomination. Signif
icance is likewise being attached to
the announcement of former Senator
Simmons that he is for Morrieon. But
It Is to the lieutenants and the men
In the ranks of the party organisa
tion that the senator must look and
upon whom be must rely for the as
sistance that will be absolutely neces
sary for him to overcome the Rey
nolds lead that was rolled up In the
first primary two weeks ago.
Grist said just as bard things about
Morrison as Reynolds did and there
is as yet no satisfactory explanation
of his about-face following his elimin
ation from the contest. His support
will be welcomed by Morrison and
the latter’s friends, but to suppose
that Grist can swing the vote -be got
in the first primary to the senator In
the run-off is to Imagine the Impos
sible. Grist hasn’t that much in
fluence. what with all the political
strength he has shown In the past
several months.
As for Simmons, he was repudiated
at ths polls two years ago. and no
body did any more to encompass his
defeat than did Morrison, the very
man who now welcomes his support.
Simmons is a dead issue in the State.
He is a personal bankrupt and his
influence is gone. No longer Is he
more than a mere memory in North
Carolina politics. The votes he will
bring to Morrispn will be negligible.
The chief Importance of the ad
herence of both Grist and Simmons
is its significance of a trend. The
party organization is putting on its
fighting togs. The men of great in
fluence are beginning to show their
colors. No longer are they taking the
Reynolds candidacy as a joke. Had
they assumed that fighting front'a
month ago, they would not now be in
the jam in which they have found
themselves.
It is well for the senator that he
is getting this backing. He will need
It. And, with only a little more than
two weeks left before the voting, there
is no time to lose if efforts are to
be made that will count for any
thing.
CHEERING FOR HOOVER.
The most comical thing that has
happened thus far at the Republican
convention in Chicago was that
twenty - minute demonstration for
President Hoover staged at yester
day’s brief session. At the mention of
the President’s name by Congressman
Bertrand Snell, of New York, ma
jority leader in the House, who is the
permanent chairman of the conven
tion, the bedlam broke loose. It may
have been pre-arranged. But it was a
demonstration.
One can hardly escape the belief
that the affair was little more than
a mockery of the feelings and con
victions of the delegates. They cheer
ed and yelled as though they were
actually trying to nominate for the
presidency a man who was facing a
fight for the nomination, and as
though they were trying to convince
somebody of an enthusiasm which it
is hard to believe was real and
genuine.
The boys were shouting themselves
hoarse for a man who they know has
shown little of the leadership and
mastery that is needed by & president.
They were all worked up, at least on
the surface, for a public official for
whom there is little enthusiasm thro
ughout the country. Maybe the office
holders and those who hope to be
office holders had a feeling for their
own job* and were trying to impress
that upon the President or those who
have Influence with him.
It must have been a great sight and
a great experience—this business of
churning oneself Into a frenzy over
the achievements of a president and
a oarty that in the coming campaign
must give an account of a steward
ship that contains little to commend
It to the country. It must have been
a highly comical scene. But that is
“politics as she is practiced."
KNIFING OLD MAN CURTIS.
Neither of the major political
parties daree deny nomination for a
second term to a president whom it
put into office, lest such denial be
interpreted, and, under the system in
vogue, rightly so, as a recognition
of failure and incapacity to perform
and make good. But the same rule
does not in this case work both ways.
It seems not to apply to a vice-presi
dent.
A case in point is the battle now
raging at the Republican National
Convention in Chicago to unseat poor
«old Charlie Curtis. They are trying,
as Will Rogers says, to tomahawk
him, and that is exactly what they
are going to do to the old man if
they can get anybody to run against
him. Charlie Dawes, weighted with
about all the honors he desires or can
get, other than the presidency itself,
has refused pointblank to be a party
to such tactics. But they will trump
up somebody else. The woods are full
of fellows who would gladly throw
themselves into ths breach, but, Hke
Charlie Curtis, they are persona non
grata to the G. O. P. high command.
This is a year when the battle is
HENDERSON, TN. C.J DAILY DISPATCH' THURSDAY, ’’ JUNE 16, 198? ~~
going to be hard and close, and when
every fellow who sets himself up to
he shot at must be able to bring aa
a burnt offering a whole trainload
of votes. And It Is not every senator
who can do that.
The facts In the esse give the Im
pression that somebody has double
croesed Charlie Curtis. Last winter the
vice-president was very much of a
mind to refuse another nomination
and go back to his home state of
Kansas and run for the United States
Senate nomination. Probably he could
have had that without a fight, and
would have stood a better chance of
election than any other Kansas Re
publican. But the party chieftains
thought that would look too much
like deserting a sinking ship and
they demanded that he stand by the
colors and accept another nomination
for vice-president, to Which, after
long and careful consideration, he
agreed. No’w that the Kansas sena
torial nomination has been given to
another and it is too late for Curtis
to get In on that., the party bosses
are making him walk the plank. It
looks like knifing a fellow in the
back, and old man Charlie is getting
a raw deal from somebody.
Hoover never did like the Kansan.
Curtis was Hoover’s chief opponent
for the nomination in 1928, and said
some mighty nasty things about the
then commerce secretary during the
pre-convention nomination campaign.
But the G. O. P. wanted the Kansas
electoral vote and persuadad Curtis
to tag onto the Hoover standards as
running mate. Like a good little boy,
he swallowed the ugly things he had
said about his new chief and took to
the hustings for him. But they are
giving him the gate now.

Morris' small, redlhalred daughter,

a penchant for booming It out at un
suspected moments, causing many an
astounded servant to totter precari

a tray poised In his hand.

awesome and a little terrifying. Five
giant power plants drive the ship, and
a staff of a dozen attendants is suffi

There Is, for me, a kick in machin

tike the thrill that comes from watch
ing a Hthe body in action, or a tor
rent. Climbing the Iron stairway
from that room of clean, metallic
ruthlessness, I mused upon the vast
ness of men's invention.
Jack Kirkland, Nancy Carroll’s ex
husband. puffed ahead of me. When
we reached the lasrt landing I looked
down exouttantly.
“What a sight those engines are!”
I exclaimed. “I’m trying to think what
they remind me of."
“I know," Jack offered, instantly.
"They remind me that I*ve got to get
my watch fixed as soon as I get to
