WHEN A MAN 18 POOR
A man is poor when ne has lost
the confidence of his friends, when
people who are nearest to him do
01 believe in him; when his character
is honeycombed by deceit and
plnotured by dishonesty. He is poor
when he makes money at the expense
of his character, when he does
not stand clear out, eupreme ta his
" idea. When this is clouded, he is in
danger of the worat kind of poverty.
To be in the poorhonso lsnotnecesaarlly
to be poor. If you have maintained
your integrity, if your char
acter stands forth square to the
world, if you have never bent the
knee of principle to avarice, you are
not poor, though you may be compel
ted to beg bread.?New England

Citizenship in this free land cf ours.
The 75th Congress
By RAYMOND PITCAIRN
Irsnlionat Chairman
Sentinels of the Republic I
Americans will regard with mixed
emotions the record of the 75th Congress
, and Its effects on the welfare of
our people.
During Its three sessions, beginning
in January, 1937, the Congress dealt
with a wide variety of legislation.
Within that period, citizens will recall,
were fought thrilling legislative battles
over the Supreme Court, the Reorganization
Bill, the revised tax measure and
others significant both to our Constitutional
form of government and our
national well-being.
But what the people will also recall
is that despite swiftly-mounting expenditures
of public funds, despite a
record-breaking public debt, unemployment
figures are expanding, production
still lags, and relief rolls grow longer.
This 1s not what the people had
hoped for when the 75th Congress
opened its first, session. It is not what
they were promised back in January
of 1937.
What the workers still want Is real
Jobs and the real production which
creates those Jobs. What the* m?.
sistently ask of any Congress b a record
of constructive legbbtlon to that end,
rather than poUtleal maneuvering. On
both theee count* they hare been frequently
disappointed.
Throughout the nation the people
are being asked to choose many of the
men who will represent them next year
on Capitol H1U. On these decisions will
rest the fulfillment or the rejection of
their demands.
Let them ealeet a* thdr agents In
