December 3, 1929 The New Congress Today marks the beginning of a new Congress — the seventy-first which was elected in November, 1928. The members were sworn in today, both Sen ators and Representatives, which- means about one third of the Senators and ever>\meniber of the Lower House. Since Representatives in tfieihtme are elected every two years, they all begin-their termsty-annually. Senators being elected every six years, one-third of them begin their terms every two years. Now, what will be the history of this Congress is a grave and vital question. A majority of people cen ter their thoughts on the simple question of whether the Democrats win or whether the Republicans win it. shaping the legislation. The fact is that most members of that great body will expend the most of their efforts to being elected j again the next time their office is to be filled. They will seek to keep in close touch with the fancy of voters in their respective districts and advance their own popularity far more than they will try to master the principles of statesmanship and perform real serv : ice. This is why it is so easy for a few men to run Congress, because the mass of the members are squar ing themselves with the society of Washington and seeking the favors of their constituents. The outlook is for some real lighting, however, and a stronger line-up for the public interest than we BIG CLOSING OUT SALE • ■» M vi - , .

Party lines have been un dermined by the strong pressure of the big interests and the great fraudulent manipulations in the various governmental departments. A good number of the leading Western Republicans joined with the Demo crats to kill the tariff bill passed by the House. In subordination in the ranks of the Republican old guard, directed at the party leaders, has caused trouble there that will be hard to patch up. But politics is such a tricky thing that something new will be brought out to veil the main points. The political manipulators will try to drive a wedge be tween the South and the West and destroy their power. It may be prohibition or some other quev tion which has already been settled, but one thing we may be sure of —something will be started to detract the thought of the people from the main issues to block any valuable legislation. Start Living at Home J Now is the time for all farmers to bow down on the ground, pledge their 1 faith and allegiance to the earth for a living and turn their backs (in money crops. Ten years is long Enough for [>eople to try to get rich by growing crop!) to sell with which to buy things to live on,, md that is just what we have been doing for the past decade. W f have failed and are now grieving over the failure. If we had followed a sen sible program of farming for this period, we would now be much happier and much richer. Nt>w, we have the exj>erience; why not look over the old farm and renew our faith in the promise that it will yield its fruits. But we must grow the things I we need ourselves first. ."The chickens, the cows, the hogs, combined with the grains, fruits, and vegetables | will save us from debt and set us on the road to pros \ ' perity. t " The Origin of Crime It is no troubip to learn the origin of the crime wave today. It is born in the American cradle, cultivated in the American home! and graduated from the schools. Nobody cares any' longer. We,are all flying so fast that mothers forget to tell daughters, fathers neg lect to warn sons, and the schools have lost their power to supplant both, so we are sending out into the world of society a band of fun-lovers, work-dodgers, and spendthrifts—a class of people that does not have a strong conscience against crime. We are just neglecting to bring them up right, and the courts are having to do the work the parents have neglected to do. No man worth less than a million should marry a girl Who doesn't know how to iron a shirt, cook a bis cuit, milk a cow, or set.'a hen. This statement does not suit some folks, however.
