Ar. eminent English surgeon saw it;i head emerge from the water, got his Pam ela into action and made four ex]>os urivs before the thing disapperared. The pictures, though taken at long range, show clearly that the Scotch mobster really exists and that it is neither a serpent nor a seal. It has .t long, serpcntrlike neck, but a thick body, like the restorations of pre historic dentures. None of the scien tific ni^n who have seen the photo ;.aphs can ^ive it a name, and there seems to be gwwral agreement that it is a strange survival of a species snppostd to be ex.tur.K-t for hundreds of thousands or millions of years.

The reason that they gave is that he guessed wrong about the desirability of indorsing Mr. Roosevelt for President and Mr. Lehman for Governor, and so got the party in New York "in bad" with the people who have political jobs to dish out. And, jtolitics being what it is, .110 leader mui lead unless he can get jobs for "the boys". Weather .... and sun spots Look for u cool, if not a cold, Sum mer.

But young Monsieur de Clianihrun is a pretty good lawyer, lie called the attention of the Court of Appeals to the fact that his great great grandfather on his father's side was made a citizen of Maryland by in act of the General Assembly of that State, and that the citizenship was bestowed upon his male heir* forever.

It doesn't suit me, and 1 don't feel that I am a suit . able man for the place. Besides, I have other duties to perform thai 1 consider more sacred, in wh^ch li. have taken an active part for forty years. It is my cpn yiftini' ^tjmt I should not turn aside to the po litical realm in the evening of my life and perhaps lower the dignity of my divine calling. I ani conscientiously sun that tlje )K>litical armor will not fit me any more than King Saul's armor fit David. Thus it is my choice to leave it off at this time. Not that 1 frar defeat at the polls, but interruption in my ministerial career, which I ean't sacrifice for ? anyth'ng.

Journal C %?%%*** Sees 40 YEARS AGO (TuckMeife Democrat, May 2, 1894) Misses Ida and Nellie Smith, of Painter, were in town Thursday. Hon. J. H.

Mr. Thomas Massey and family of Allen's Creek are visiting relatives. Mr. Clyde Marcm has moved to the new service station at Qualla. Washington, May 2 ? Your corres pondeot hadvthe privilege a few days ago of talking and listening to the three most important men in the Administration on three successive days: President Roosevelt on Thurs day, General Htigh Johnson 011 Fri day and Prof. Rexford Tugwell on Saturday. All of them talked freely, though much of what they said was not for publication. Nothing that the Presi dent said can be quoted, but it is en tirely permissible to express an opin ion on his state of mind and the di rection in which He is heading, de duced from what he said. The talk with him lasted nearly two hours, with Genearl Johnson' nearly as long and with Dr. Tugwell about an hour. Certain conclusions are ? inescap able: they were noticeable in what all three men said. First, a definite ? sensitiveness to criticism of the "New Deal", amount ing almost to thin skinnedness. Second, a definite effort to dispel the id^a that there is something ''radical" about the New Deal. Third, a definite intention to slow down on Government borrowings and substitute for Government financing of private business new means of stimulating investment of private capital. Fourth, a definite intention to re sist amy further inflationary mea sures, especially such as contained in he effort to eompel the President to .remoneti/.e silver 011 the 30 to 1 or any other basis. Fifth, a definite, deep- rooted con viction that, what the Administration i? doing is "right". On that last point, a high Federal jffrc'al recently compared the writ ten Constitution to the old wooden nan-of-war, "Constitution" so lately rehabilitated and sent on a tour of the nation's seajjorts. It was a fine ;hip in its day, and1 everybody re veres an respects it for the service it did in the War of J 81 2, but nobody would think of sending it to sea to -Ight again. There is a line fervor, almost re 'igious in its tone, when some of trie New Dealers talk about the necessity for social regeneration by (lovernimn al dictum and financial aid. Taking up the points enumeratid in their order, the tone, rather, thai: the wordk of all three of these A?l ministration leaders indicated that, although critism had been invited, it was not relished. Indeed, one of I hem used the word "wicked'' in- discuss ing certain attacks upon Administra tion policies. Professor Tugwell was especially sensitive at the use of the word "regimentation" ^n connection with the organization of business, in dustry and agriculture, fit' thought it a wrong use of the word: it was a word he would use to determine t h?* conditions under which men employ ed in industry worked. The sam<* day he said that, the President ?signed the Bankhead cotton restriction hill, of which Senator Bankhead audi his nephew, Representative Bankhead, were the sponsors. It put a heavy penalty on auy cotton grower who yrows more than his quota of cotton this year. The President took pains to explain that it had been agreed lo in advance by more than 00 per cent of the cotton growers who had an swered the Government's qiiestion airre. General Johnson was insistent that the Government had no purjiose to impose hermful restrictions upon business and industry: that all XKA was trying to do was to get business interests into cooperation for the com mon good. He was distressed at the idea that anything like force was being used or contemplate!, and the notion that small -business men were getting the worst of it under XI? A was en tirely wrong, he said. He hid not thing the Government had been mov ing too fast in imposing the codes, because any of them could l>e chang ed over night if it proved oppressive or didn-'t work. The purpose of speed had been to try to get men back to work quickly. The next b?g effort to put men back to work will be in building trades, by means of a plan which would not involve ajiiy expenditure of Govern ment fundte but which is expected to pat a lot of idle capital at work in repairing existing homes and building new ones. Tt is a far-reaching plan; Along with that will go other plan* (Please Torn To Page 2)
