BIBLE THOUGHT
“A good name ia rather to be chosen than great riches,
and loving favor rather than silver and gold. The rich and
poor meet together: the Lord is the maker of them all.”—
Prov. 22:1-2.

ICKES “BUSTED” THE NEWSPAPERS ...
HE MUST NOT QUIT THE NEW DEAL
Following an old custom, Secretary lekea ha* offered his resignation to
President Roosevelt. >
IT MUST NOT BE ACCEPTED!
Ickes is the first national figure to expose racketeering news
papers of this country, and as in the recent election, practically
every newspaper in the nation fought Roosevelt—and Ickes—AND
LOST. The pepperpot of the administration must not be lost to the
New Deal in this hour of triumph over a crooked press.
And we refer to the press as “crooked” because that is exactly
what they proved themselves to be by their absurd lies and news
distortion of the campaign.
The Scripps-Howard outfit, particularly, should dismantle every
lighthouse that guards their filthy portals, and be honest enough to
admit to the world that their slogan, “Give the people light and
they will find their own way” is but a smoke screen behind which
they have betrayed every ideal of Edward Scripps, who founded
that great chain on the solid rock of justice for those who were un
able to obtain it for themselves.
Ickes recognised the danger in this newspaper hypocrisy, and
did not hesitate to tell the people of it. He is energetic, a New
Dealer, and a great friend of our Smoky Mountains National Park
Second only to our own Cordell Hull, he is the most valued mem
ber of the cabinet, and we can’t picture the President even consider
ing his resignation.
Ickes stuck out his chin to expose the newspapers; the news
papers opposed the President; the newspapers lost; President won
in spite of the newspapers—AND WE MUST NOT LOSE OCKES!
A. F. L. Condemns
Racketeering By
Labor Unions
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 27.—The
American Federation of Labor adopt*
ed yesterday a resolution condemning
racketeering in labor unions and au
thorized its executive council to act
should unions evade their “responsi
bilities.”
There was nothing in the resolu
tion, adopted without a protesting
vote, to indicate what action the coun
cil could take. With convention ap
proval, the council yesterday strip
ped itself of the power to suspend a
single union, but said it should he
given power instead to suspend two
or more unions engaged in a “dual
movement.”
A. F. of L.’s national and interna
tional unions were advised by the
resolution to adopt necessary legis
lation for adequate disciplinary ac
tion against any of their officers or
members “who may have been found
guilty of betraying the trust reposed
hn them.”
Adoption of the resolution came
after President William Green chal
lenged any one to point out an in
stance of gangsterism in the A. F.
of L.

THEN IT STARTED
The question of ownership is not
aiways easy to solve with consequent
good will.
“Say ‘our,’ ” stormed Mrs. McSnort
er. “I’m tired of hearing you talk
about ‘mv house,’ and ‘my car,’ and
‘ray daughter.’ It gets my goat.”
i The next morning, McSnorter arose
in his usual rough frame of mind and
spent some minutes rummaging about
the room. Finally his wife turned
over in bed and yelled at him, "What
are you looking for?”
“Our pants, answered McSnorter
sourly.
DESTINATION UNKNOWN
A Yorkshire man had died and the
widow was making arrangements for
the funeral. She visited the barber
and asked how much he would charge
to shave the deceased.
“Half-a-crown,” said the barber.
“That’s a lot for a shave,’’ said the
widow. "And it’s not even as if he
were going anywhere in particular.”

POOR FISH

sat fishing together on one side of

“How do you do it, Neville?” they
shouted across the water. “There
doesn’t seem to be any fish on our
side.”
“The fish are there all right," re
