MOTHER'S ?OV '
While walking down a crowded
street; the day, .
I heard a little urchin to his comrade
spy:
"Say, Chimniis. lemme tell youse. I'd
be nappy as a clam.
If 1 only was the feller my mother
thinks I am.
"She thinks 1 tun a wonder, for she
knows the boy she had
Could never mix with nothin' that
twas ugly, mean, and bad. *
An' lots o' times I sit and think how
nice it nd' he?gee whiz!
If a feller was the feller that his
muther thinks he Is."

I'M GLAD IT WAS ME.. "
In Miami, a simple plaque has just
b?~en dedicated to the memory of a
brave man,
The words graven.cn' it . deserve
to be remembered: They are"I'm
glad it was me instead of
you!"
They were the dying words of Antop
J. .Cermak of t'hieago. who as
mayor of that city was riding with
President-elect Roosevelt six years
ago -when mad Giuseppe Zaugara
fired his cowardly bullet and hit not
the president-elect whose /Jits he
sought, but Cermok.
So far do events move that we are
inclined to forget how Cermak. dy5rg
in the hospital, looked up at. the
President whose life he had sa'-ed,
and g3sped, "I'm glad it was me instead
of you!"
They were the grave words of a
brave man. The leant the rest of u?

Yet dining National Cotton Week
It may be well for the cotton belt
to look Into a place it has negeeted

find a very unusual figure, one who
is both partially responsible for the
present condition of cotton and the
only one who has the power to bring
about cotton's recovery.
The story of what others -have
done ;to cotton Is tragic; but the
story of what the cotton belt has
clone to It. and of what it lias NOT
done FOR It. Is both tragic and Inexcusable.
Those to whom cotton
rteans most have not hothered to be
loyal in its use.
National Cotton Week offers the
opportunity of the year for active

No. Heath cliff, that's not what I

She pulled Heathcilff bv the
hand, and together they ran down ,
from the craggy place to the ,
lovely Linton horns, adlacent to <
Wutherlng Heights. Dogs barked ,
sharply as the two climbed over ,
the garden wall and run quickly
to a window, through which thev ,
saw a luxurious room, full of
beaux and ladles In the rich (

footing the bill. *
First indication that Congress is -<
thinking along the lines of easing i
ministration will seek to continue
several "nuisance" taxes ? such as
the tax burden came when the House
Ways and Means Committee voted
to recommend a postponement of the
increase in the Social Security tax.1
his recommendation was predicated
on the belief that the American
worker and employer are already
over-burdened with taxes.
The idea seems to be spreading at
'he "Capitol, and observers- who had
doubted the possibility of serious
consideration of general tax revisions
at thin session are now revising
'heir predictions and saying: "Tba
outlook is brighter."
But, as in horse racing, there is
the difference of opinion. In inner ai
Ministration circles the thought still
persists that more spending must be
undertaken and that present tax
rates must continue or even be increased.
The first indication here
was the announcement that the adthe
three-cent postage rate ?which ,
had originally been levied as "enter (
gcncy taxeB" and which are due to (
expire this year. . (
If professional gamblers were bet
ting on the outcome of the "race" ,
the odds probably would favor the
"down-town horse," but It appears
new that the Congressional 'tax ,
horse" will run a better race than f
had been expected.
Keep observers believe the tax
race this session Is only a prellml
r.nry to a real contest next year;
when the Congressmen mav have a
better chanee to win the fight to
reduce the National tax burden ? .
reduce government expenses In the
fme foil swoop.

In an average session of Congress
here are usually a half dozen spedal
committees appointed to investl"."te
this, that or something else.
And as a general rule, interesting
data are compiled. At this partlcu- 1
iar session of Congress 9uch things
as the WPA, the Wagner Labor Relations
Act and the subversive activities
of Communists. Nazis, Fascists,
etc.. are being studied.
Brt in the sthdy of the operation
of the Wagner Act, at least one Congressman
has done a little private
snooping of bis own.
The observations of the Cneressman,
as he offered them before the
House, offer fcod for thought. He

and came hack with the declaration ,
