C.—The political sensation of the past week has been the resignation of “Jimmy” Walker •from the office of Mayor of New York City. Ordinarily the resigna tion of a mayor ,even of the Na tion’s greatest city, would be of no especial intere-t or importance out side of the city itself. But the cir cumstances under which this resigna tion has been handed in, the time chosen and the reasons given for it, make it a major political event. It will be remembered that fol lowing the protracted investigation ' carried on by a legislative commit tee a report was laid before Gov ernor Roosevelt, charging Mayor Walker with various malfeasances and misfeasance.^ and recommend ing that he be ousted from his of fice. The Governor took the charges ■under consideration and called upon Mayor Walker to come before him and an.swer them. For\ many days this hearing proceeded, attracting national attention chiefly because of the effect the Governor’s action might have upon his political for tunes. It was argued that if he ex onerated the Mayor his enemies would declare it was done in order to court the favor of Tammany, and if he ou'ted him, while such action doubtless would strengthen him in the South, where Tamany is anath ema, at the same time it would in tensify Tamany opposition to him and still fm-ther dinainish the pos sibility of carrying his own great State of New York at the Novemb- 'dr election. The situation has doubt less caused Governor Rosevelt deep anxiety for -it ^eemed as if he stood to lose political support whatever his action might be. But now the matter is out of his hands. Since the only purpose of the inquiry was to remove Mr. Walker from office in case the charges against him were held valid, there is no point in further proceed ings qow that he has vacated the of fice by his own action. :1c * * The effect of the whole incident upon the fortunes of the Democrat years, with commodity prices slow ly but surely advancing, with em ployment increasing ,with all pos- soblity of a money panic complete ly averted, the business situation certainly is in a most encouraging state and official Washington has come to the point where it feels that it may almost begin to “take things easy.” Des Moines Register Does the wolf howl at your door?

It is also the most important for scientists inter ested in the elements and their be havior, says Dr. W. J. Humphreys of the Weather Bureau, United States Department' of Agriculture, who has made observations on eclip ses from the wilds of Sumatra to the cotton fields of Georgia. The iron, calcium, phosphorus, and other elem.ents of the earth’s crust occur also in the sun. the wings of light that form the corona are giv en off by these elements. Infirma- tion on the elements and ho-w thev act under certain special conditions that can not be duplicated in any man-made latoratory helps toward a full understanding of them and their properties. ■ Each eclipse, Doctor Humphreys points out, has advanced, step' bv step, our knowledge of the sun and its constituent elements. The last total eclipse visible in the United States, a very brief one, was in 1930. The next total e'-lipse visible in this country is scheduled for 19- 45. Roosevelt Gives Up New York A claim that Governor Franklin D. Rosevelt “is already reconciled to the loss of New York State in the presidental election was made the past week by F. Trubee Davi son, assi-stant secretary of war and Republican gubernational aspirant. “And without New York’s elector al votes,” Davison continued, “the Democrats will not be able to win ” He said his “contact.”’ around the state indicated to him that “Presi dent Hoover’s strength is gaining every day.” Davison said he was in Omaha on an airplane tour of the country at the time the President delivered his acceptance speech. “The next day,” Davison said, “I circulated around the city and talk ed to numerous people. Their enthus iasm v/as amazing. They said many votes had been switched overnight. Senator Felix Herbert, eastern manager, announced that women s campaign activities will be directed from- New York.

In a recent published statement, Mrs. Franklin D.

With the mercury reaching an offi cial of 100 and an unofficial of 106 degrees, and the humidity as it is likely to be at sea level In such temperature, the National Capital has been about as uncomfortable a place in which to live for the past ten days as could be found any where within Uncle Sam’s dominion. As an example Mr. Haywood cit ed that eleven bales, delivered by a member who lives in the Southern part of the State, all classed strict middling 1 1-16. The member, who grows one of the improved Coker-Cleveland strains received from the cooperative a grade and staple premium of moi-e than one cent per pound on the eleven bales.

Holt, Pine Level, L. relationship between the t'wo men was that of fifth cousin. Now comes the Chicago genealogist who figures it out that Franklin D. is the one- two-thousand-forty-eighth cousin ' of the late President. This is the way the Chicago man figures it out, and while it is not important it may be interesting to those who are inter ested. “Cousins are one-fourth blood re lationship, but are called first cous ins. The son of a cousin is a second cousin, although only one-eighth blood relationship. • “Bach generation down the direct line divides the blood relationship by two, but the cousins are denom inated by the generations, first, sec ond, third, etc. “Franklin Roosevelt, being five generations removed from Isaac, 1726, is the sixth cousin of Jacobus, 1724, instead of the sixth cousin of Theodore, 1858. “In going down the other side of the line, cousins are removed by di vision each generation. Franklin Roosevelt, being sixth cousin of Ja cobus, 1724, is twelfth cousin of Ja cobus 1759; twenty-fourth cousin of Cornelius van Schaak, 1794; forty- eig’hth cousin of Theodore, 1831; and ninety-sixth cousin of Theodore Ro osevelt, President 1858. “Jacobus, 1724, and Isaac, 1726, ■were one-ofurth blood relationship. Jacobus, 1724, to Jacobus, 1760, one- eighth; to Isaac, 1790 ,one-sixteenth; to James, 1828; one-thirty-second; to James, 1854, one-sixty-fourth ;and to Franklin, one one-hundred-twenty- eiglith? Going down the other line, this would make Franklin Roosevelt one two-hundred-fifty-sixth relation ship to Jacobus, 1759;-one five-hun dred-twelfth to Cornelius van Schaak 1794; one one-thou.sand-thentwy-four- th to Theodore, 1831; and one two- thousand-forty-eighth to President Theodore Roosevelt, 1858.” HOOVER’S HEAD AND HEART Somebody said of President Ho over: “'That man’s head is alway.- working.” And he might have add ed: “His heart is always function ing, too.” Evidence of both the President’s head and heart are found in the 'ft’as'nington dispatches which report that “with business committees of the Nation now organized on a Nat ional program to speed industrial re covery, one of the next concerns of the 'White House will be the renew ed organization of private agencies for direct relief work during the coming -winter.” The President has called a con ference of the welfare and relief mobilization of 1932 to take place in Washington, September 15. This conference will bring together many relief agencies under a notable lead ership and is expected to be the se cond .stage in the national organi zation for—what is hoped to be the last phase of the depression. “That man’s head is always work ing”—and his heart is always on duty. Need Grazin'? Crons In Addition to Pasture Gro-wers of livestock have found by two years of experience that it pays to have some annual grazing crops to supplement the permanent pasture if the stock is to be kept in the best of condition. “These supplementary grazing "crops are emergency or insurance crops for the livestock man,” says L. I. Case, animal husbandman at State College. “The drought of 1930, the winter-killing carpet gra.ss that following winter, the March freeze of 1932, and the extended drought this summer has demon strated the full value of such tem porary grazing crops. Some of the crops which might be used to ad vantage are soybeans, sudan grass, Cherokee clover or lespedeza. Good farmers have found a definite area in these crops each year is neces sary. If not needed for grazing, they may be harvested in the us ual way for seed or hay.” Anser — A Bible Study fishing camp in the "Virginia moun tains, hoping to remain there until after Labor Day, giving himself four full days of vacation. This is tlie longest rest he has had since his Inauguration with the exception of a fishing excursion down the Poto mac River a few weeks ago when he -was gone from Washington the same length of time. What a change there has been from the days back in the Coolidge and Taft and Roo-^e- velt administrations when the Phes- ident could absent himself from the National Capital during the whole of the hot summer without anyone suggesting that he was neglecting Iii.s official duties. ^ ^ * It is no secret, however, that the President, while he still believes it necessary to keep his hand very steadily upon the helm,-yet regards the economic tension as materially relaxed.

SAYS HOOVER GROWING STRONGER Claims that President Hoover is stronger politically now than he was four years ago, when he polled more than 21,000.000 votes, were made by two Republican leaders in New York Thudsday night. Mrs. Ellis A. Yost, director of the women’s division of the Republican national committee said the women of the nation are “even more strong ly in favor of President Herbert Hoover than they were in 1928.” .... Oharfes S. Whitman, former New York Governor declared: “The President is far stronger now than he was four years ago. the odds are heavily in favor of his re-election. “New York state is practically certain to go for Hoover and Cur tis. Why --sliouldn’t it ” THIS NEWSPAPER’S NAME WAS SELECTED FRO.M JUMBLED TYPE Dallas, Texas.—How a handful of jumbled type—a pi line—inspired the name of one of the influential newespapers of early east Texas is told by Robert M. Mays^of this city, a newspaperman, in the current is sue of East Texas, official organ of the East Texas Chamber of Com merce. The old Jefferson Jimplecute, est ablished in 1865 and published until a few years ago, was the journal thus named. “Tradition tells us, the article said, “that the publishers had erected their plant and were ready to go to press before they had been able to agree on a name. Finally one of the partner.s grabbed a hand ful of type and scattered it on the floor. Picking up a composing .stick he set up the characters as he came to them and the resulting combina tion was Jimplecute.” Cease from Anger and forsake wrath. Psa. 37: 8. He that is soon angry deale' foolishly. Prov. 14: 17. He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. Prov. 16: 32. Make no friendship with an an gry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go. Prov. 22: 24. Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry; for anger resteth in the bos om of fools. Ecies. 7: 9. But T say unto you that whoso ever is angry with his brother with out a cause shall he in danger of the judgment.—Jesus. Let ail bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speak ing be put away from you, with all malice. Eph. 4:31. For. the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. James 1: 20. Examples of Anger. “Cain was very wroth'.” Gen. 4:5. “Saul was kindled against Jona than.” 1st Sam. 20: 30. ous ” Daniel 2: 12. “Herod, exceeding wrath.” Matt. 2: 16. Read each of these personal ex amples of anger to get the had, sail results. “Be not angry, and sin not; let not the sun go down upon your wrath.” Anger and wrath are both hot stuff. Malice is frozen anger— got cold over night. All murder is rooted in ang-ry passions. Uncon trolled -anger wields the murder ous weapon.
