BRISBANE THIS WEEK A King’s Farewell Good Soldier Obeys An If or Two 40,000,000 Degrees Paris.—To “last words of dying men" will be added those of the late lung George of Eng land — “I am sorry to keep you waiting like this.” Typical of a good, modest king, always obedient to du ty. At the request of his ministers, including Sir John Simon, who waited up ' on him at the Arikmr BrUk... 1381 moment, the king strug gled pathetically to sign his name to a state paper, succeeded, then, turning to his advisers, spoke those last words, followed by a smile and nod with which he was accus tomed to end an audience. This was published in the Star of Johannesburg, South Africa, in a Reuter dispatch. Mr. Gunia sends the clipping from Gibsonia, Fa. Much obliged. The Italian soldier Badoglio, in the striking uniform of an Italian marshal, returned to Rome and embraced Mussolini, who wore the uniform of a corporal of fascist militia. Napoleon also liked to be called the “little corporal.” Marshal Badoglio is an Italian soldier who obeys orders. When Mussolini’s forces were marching on Rome, Badoglio, according to the story, said to the king: “What shall I do—wipe them out?” The king ordered: “No; no violence.” Now, Mussolini rules, and on his orders Badoglio wipes out Haile Selassie and the government of Ethiopia. Anything could happen in Eu rope, and one of the things con sidered quite possible, extremely disturbing to respectable old Eng land and others, is an agreement between Mussolini and Hitler to make “a deal on Austria” profita ble for both; not for Austria. There is always, however, the memory of 4914, when Austria, Ita ly and the Kaiser had the triple alliance that did not “stand up.” Such alliances usually go along racial lines, if they are to last. France and Italy are natural al lies, both Latin; England and the United States would probably be found not far apart if a really big World war should ever come, with one or two other IFS. Science proudly demonstrates tor the Westinghouse company a new lamp that “rivals the beams of the sun.” The demonstrator explained that the temperature at the sun’s surface is about 11,732 degrees Fahrenheit, while the new lamp .reaches 25,232 degrees Fahrenheit. That, however, as scientists know, is a long way from the sun’s best temperature. According to Sir James Jeans, there prevails in the depths of the sun temperature of “forty million degrees centigrade," which is con siderably higher than any man made temperature. If you came within 1,000 miles of m 5 cent piece with a tempera ture of 40,000,000 degrees centi grade, you would be burned to a cinder; hard to believe, but true. England protested against raising the elevation of guns an American warships because that would make our guns shoot too far. In case of war we might hit a British ship lined up against us. Are animals capable of any thought? A dog on Prince Edward island, whining and howling with its muz zle against a pile of clothing on the edge of a pool, attracted men who took from the water the bod ies of two brothers, fifteen and sev enteen years old. Could the dog have “thought out” a connection between the clothing and the dis appearance of its young owners? At Ur, ancient city of the Chal deans, they show a gigantic brick temple, recently uncovered, where It has lain in the ground covered through the ages. It was con structed originally, like the tower of Babel, to enable the builders to get up into heaven and reach the gods. First they invented those pagan gods, and then they actually believed in them. The United States navy has or dered 191 “bomber” airplanes; cheerful small news. It is to be hoped that the govern ment is trying to build bomber planes able to fly any ocean. If war came, our bombing opera tions could be carried on in coun tries across the Atlantic or the Pacific. We should not want to do any bombing in America. Aft er the first experiment, no country would send any ships within easy bombing or submarine range of these shores. • Kins Fnntnrnn Syndicate Inn. WNU Sncrton, See Roosevelt Real Prophet One Reason for So Devoted Following and Such Bitter Opposition; Bonus Job Well Done By EARL GODWIN Washington.—There are certain high points in Roosevelt’s public addresses since he became Presi dent which mark him as a seer and a prophet; and that is one reason why he has so devoted a following and so bitter an opposition. The truly great man with the deep spir itual force and the vision of the soul on the mountain top is set apart for great things, including great punishment These thoughts come to me as I sit down to write to you in the shadow of the White House, in which, so many of our leaders have experienced those long grueling hours from which they have welded their fate and had so much to do with America’s destiny. When Roosevelt told America that this generation has a rendez vous with destiny it seemed to me as if the spirits of former Presi dents must have held close con ference with the man as he worked out his acceptance speech in the library of that great house where our Presidents have worked now for more than a hundred yer^s . . . including the great-souled Lincoln and the tremendous Wil son. In that speech and in that phrase Franklin Roosevelt leaped upward to the stars in his vision; and he immediately stood in harmony with the greatest minds and the great est souls of all time ... A man who knows destiny and who recog nizes cycles of events is more than a politician. He is, I repeat, a prophet. The destiny we must face may have one form or another, but if we face it with the preparation the New Deal would give us, we will be facing it without fear and with a magnificent proportion of the Gold en Rule in government. If we dis pense with the New Deal for the old type of materialistic govern ment we will be so overloaded with personal and corporate selfishness that the eventual reaction may be a truly dangerous class war. The American people, expanding tre mendously in the 160 years since July 4, 1776, have uflortunately de veloped those economic royalists of which Roosevelt speaks. Actually an economic tyrant is worse than a political tyrant: and it is against these modern conditions of econom ic tyranny that Roosevelt has “en listed for the duration of the war.” • • • WARNS AGAINST FEAR Roosevelt knows the destructive quality of fear. He knows what fear has done to hold back the world’s progress; he knows the in ner delight of having conquered fear within his own soul. Think of what it means to fear nothing, not only to be fearless physically but mentally and spiritually. That state of being permits one to make limitless plans and to create end lessly. Roosevelt, who warns against fear and did so much to wipe out fear from the American people in their dark hours' of de pression, acquired the mystic knowledge of fearlessness by long struggles with himself. He has ex perienced bitter trials. You know fate sometimes tests a fellow to see how he reacts under difficulty. Had Roosevelt failed in the tests which were laid upon him he would not today be running for reelec tion. American destiny wants no second raters. The destiny for America is lead ership of the race; and of the world. While the old world has gone back to the law of tooth and fang and is preparing to kill one another off in a war of horrible possibilities, this blessed nation is adopting the good neighbor poli cy at home and abroad; we are getting a glimpse of what love and charity mean in terms of ev eryday dealing with each other and the world. When Roosevelt used that good old word “charity” in his acceptance speech he was mak ing use of an inner knowledge which shows him that genuine practical everyday love to your neighbor is as practical, useful and profitable a substance in human af fairs as is electricity properly used. • • • PRACTICAL WEAPON The great practical weapon in the hands of America against self ishness is the use of the Federal power . . . that seems to be the great thing which stirs up the ani mals on the other side. The tre mendous corporations and their lawyers have made- monkeys of these sacred states’ rights when ever it was to the advantage of the corporations to do so; and as I have said on previous ccasions the time is come for these United States to face a real test of big ness. Either as a nation we are big enough to handle these vast social and economic problems with all our big power, as vested in the Federal government—or we are going to allow ourselves to be beat ■ vdlicxfiaV** en down In forty eight small sec- < tlons. The Democratic platform as adopted at Philadelphia plus Roosevelt’s acceptance speech comprise 6 social doctrine for the years to come. They are in my judgment more important than any utterances in years. They are more important than anything Wil son ever said, because they are closer to the hearts of people. They are equal in importance with the prophetic words of Lincoln at his best In the short months of this first Roosevelt administration the farm er has been taken oft the road to ruin; more than ever does he get quick response from Washington, as in these awful drought experi ences. ' The Federal government has driven the gangster and the kidnaper to cover in a way which makes it plain that state law and state police organizations are far too small to cope with the evils of a nation-wide crime wave. Roose velt’s national and Federal use of resources for the nation-wide hor ror of unemployment is a tremen dous achievement; labor has been given a recognition and has experi enced a betterment of conditions which is merely one more aspect of the Golden Rule in government, and labor will not forget Roosevelt on election day ... all in all the Democratic platform is a New Deal platform and a Roosevelt platform; it points toward a coun try with equal opportunities and a democratic economy which would do away with these frightful in equalities of living which we see today and which America is even tually going to eliminate. • • • JOB WELL DONE The government handled the bo nus wonderfully well. Those crit ics who sneer at government and declare that old Uncle Sam cannot do anything properly haven’t had a word to say about the way he de livered 90 per cent of the $35,000, 000 in bonus bonds on time. This was a delivery of $1,700,000, 000 in bonds and $70,000,000 in checks. Thousands of persons teamed up to make this a perfect job. The first and almost impossi ble task was shouldered within a few moments after the bonus bill passed; and Gen. Frank T. Hines, head of the veterans administra tion began the unparalleled job of lining up the veterans for their applications. It was the greatest clerical job since the dawn of cre ation; and it was done well with in the time limit. The reason is found in the long advance think ing done by Hines and others in the government. Each one of three and a half mil lion applications had to be checked against the existing records; that was merely one angle of the work which continued without ceasing day and night with three shifts of workers each 24 hours, and of course the veterans’ administra tion was not the only branch of government The government presses at the bureau of engrav ing and printing were rolling day and night and the post office, head ed by Postmaster General James A. Farley, made its plans for that perfect delivery which was such a splendid success. Government teamwork was never better . . . the job was fool proof. COWARDLY ATTACK Five plush-lined Democrats of the big fee and salary variety lined up in a cowardly attack on Roose velt, giving out a copy of the let ter they never sent asking the Democratic National convention to nominate anyone but Roosevelt. Not one of the five is remembered nationally these days except A1 Smith, although there may be a few who recall that former Sen ator Jim Reed of Missouri has al ways opposed his own party, espe cially when it had a great leader. Smith’s position is pitiful; he has given up the idealism of real de mocracy for a big salary from Wall Street interests. (In addition to the large pension he draws, from New York) . . . Smith started to edge away from Roosevelt when Roosevelt was elected governor to succeed Smith. The man in the brown derby engaged a suite of rooms at a big Albany hotel and assumed that Roosevelt was a weakling and that he, A1 Smith, could stay and be the real power in the state. Roosevelt wiped that out in a hurry. Then Smith pouted and act ed childishly over the fact that Roosevelt polled larger majorities in New York state than Smith had ever done. Actually, those who are on the inside, know that Smith’s political moves are now dictated by disappointment, childish jeal ousy and a Wall Street boss. For mer Governor Ely was another of the five. He never was a Roose velt Democrat, but led the Stop Roosevelt movement at the Chica go convention in 1932. Bainbridge Colby—for a few minutes secretary of state under Wilson—is just one more Wall Street corporation law yer. He never should have been a Democrat and I don’t think he ever was one at heart. Not the kind of Democrats I know. Judge Cohalan, of the Supreme Court of New York state, was once a Tammany leader and possibly is today for all I know. But he was so much enmeshed in Tammany in the days of Boss Murphy that you could almost see the stripes of the tiger upon him. You couldn’t call him much of a Democrat outside of his Tammany Hall connections. • Wootorn Ninwptr Union. 3hlnkdabout SANTA MONICA, CALIF. So soon as this, with both tickets just put up, folks already are saying this is start ing out to be a bitter campaign —the bitterest, perhaps, since away back in 1896. My guess is these prophets don’t realize the twentieth part of it. I’m icimuucu Ui wild v happened when my old friend, CoL Bill Hayward, sailed with his negro regi ment for France during the war. The outfit em barked at night Nextmoming, when the transport was well out at sea a pop-eyed trooper Irvin 8. Cobb uul“ lne interior South stood staring at the endless watery expanse. “Boy!" he exclaimed to a com panion, “dis sho’ is one big ocean!” “Mos’ doubtless,’’ stated the sec ond soldier, “but, son, whut you’s lookin’ at now is only jes de top layer." • • * The Union Party AT CLEVELAND there was har mony and a quiet interment for the old Guard. At Philadelphia the proceedings moved along on greased rollers. But for real ex citement, wait until that new Union party holds its convention. Then will be the signal to remove the women and children to a place of safety. Just consider who’ll be there: The inflationists who think that, as long as we have government en graving plants and printing presses, money should be plentiful The group committed to the idea that, if the farmer won’t do something for himself, something should be done for the farmer. Doctor Town send, with his project to provide old age pensions for everybody over sixty except Congressman McGoar ty. Father Coughlin, calling for so cial justice and better radio hook ups. Huey Long’s successor, who’d share the wealth and make every man a king. • • • A1 Smith’s Strategy AS AN old-time headliner of po litical vaudeville, AL Smith should have known better than to pull that ancient wheeze—shooting at Philadelphia letter carriers on a Sunday afternoon. And besides, think of the desper ate chance he and his supporting quartet of sharpshooters took: come between a mother panther and her cubs; come between a Frenchman and his fracas; come between a radio announcer and his elocution, but never, right on the eve of their national convention, try to come between a flock of office holding Democrats and the pros pect of four more uninterrupted years of the same. • • • Trouble of Travelers OUTSIDE the larger cities, when a hotel manager wishes to show a special guest special atten tion, he assigns him to the bed chamber of state which usually is on the second floor, invariably is at the front of the house and nearly always on the corner where elec tric signs twinkle merrily till daylight in the poor sleepless wretch’s eyes. And along toward 2 a. m. a party named Dewey, standing in the street below, will start telling a party named Pink, about sumpin mighty comical that’s come up Sad’day night whereupon Pink will be moved to recall a few social reminiscences of his own. • • • Convention Invocations ALTHOUGH a southerner—how ever, not working at the trade as steadily as some—I have to snicker when a Democratic senator walks out on his own convention because a colored preacher asks the divine blessing on its delibera tions. Which reminds me: The first time that great Texan, Jim Hogg, ran for the governorship his party split. The bolters joined with the Republican outfit—most ly black—to put up a fusion ticket. At this pinto convention, the Rev. “Sin Killer” Griffin, a famous black evangelist, delivered the invoca tion. In concluding, he threw an unexpected bombshell into the pie bald ranks by earnestly urging the Lord to put Hogg in the governor’s chair Terrific uproar ensued. Finally a dusky stalwart got the floor. ‘1 moves,” he bellowed, “dat dis yere traitorsome and on-Republik in prayer be expunged from de record." Majestically, “Sin Killer" erected himself. “I rises.” he stated, “to a p’int of order. It’s too late to expunge frum de record a prayer which al ready done got to heaven more’n five minutes ago.” _ IRVIN 8. COBB. e^WNUaarrM*. Tall Tales 88 As Told to: FRANK E. HAGAN and ELMO SCOTT WATSON THE RETURN. OF PETET A CARRIER pigeon can b* relied on to do the spectacular. Glenn Butcher, doughboy of the Sixth infantry, after serving his country in France, established a pigeon farm near Lockport, 111. Liking all pigeons, his greatest af fection was reserved for a carrier named Petey. Petey demonstrated once that Butcher’s love was reciprocated. It was when an unidentified fiend visited Lockport, committed a score of crimes and concluded by stealing Petey and taking him to Chicago. Butcher learned later the thief climbed to the top of the tallest building in Chicago, unfastened Pe tey and threw him overboard. Then, to show his fiendish nature, the kidnaper threw a wooden hex at the falling bird. The pigeon broke a leg in his 600-foot fall but retrieved the box, which landed nearby, and hobbled toward the river. There he pro duced a swagger stick Butcher had used in France, climbed on the box and, steering a winding course by means of the stick, started home. Bulletins told of the pigeon navi gator’s progress, but Petey was too proud to accept aid. He ne gotiated the 45 miles of river chan nel alone in seven days, limping into Butcher’s yard one morning, swagger stick under his wing. It not only gave him a jaunty ap pearance but served for a crutch as well. AN 8-INCH TALE SHELL games are not the only activity wherein the hand may be quicker than the eye. So ruminates Buck Pyle, once of Clarendon, Texas, when he re calls the famous hunting trip un dertaken by two of his father’s ranch hands. The cowboys, Sam and Henry, found Buffalo tracks almost imme diately. They spied two buffalo, and each fired at a different ani mal. Henry’s buffalo sped over a mountain range with Henry in close pursuit and was lost to view. Sam wounded his game and the injured buffalo charged. His pony wheeled, slipped into the deep grass and unseated the rider. Sam rose to a sitting position, terrified at the approach of the huge animal. He ducked just as , the charging buffalo hurtled past, then he straightened suddenly, grasped the wounded buffalo by the tail and hung on. He could not hope to subdue the maddened beast, but neither could the animal attack him. So Sam clung to the buffalo’s eight-inch tail until just before the wild run ner crossed the Mexican boundary. Then he reached out with a poplar tree he’d gathered en route, tickled the buffalo’s nose and turned him back. When Sam had guided the buffa lo in this fashion until they reached Donley county, Henry rode up and rescued his friend. The regrettable effect of the in cident, says Pyle, is that Sam won’t accept a buffalo nickel now, even if you offer him three for a dime. THE EXTENDED PALM A GREATER number of extended palms can be found in the state of Florida than in all of France. One of them, a royal palm, grows in front of the ninth green of the De Leon Springs golf course, its foliage frequently catching balls pitched toward the green. That happened to John H. Fisher of Chicago the first time he stepped on file De Leon Springs links to ‘try for his usual 70. The ball lodged in the tree and only the gift of a 59-cent dollar persuaded his colored caddie to retrieve it Climbing to the top of the tree the caddie gave one vigorou shake and Fisher’s ball and 376 other golf balls dropped. It was the first time the royal palm had been shak en. The golfer was astonished to dis cover that thirteen of the balls had his name printed on them. “It was my initial visit to Flori da, all right but that was no rea son my entire name should have been printed on the balls,” Fisher said later. “I didn’t discover why until four months afterwards. “I play the Tam o’Shanter course at Chicago. On the fifth tee I invariably slice my drive, fre quently losing the ball. Well, I began to analyze my shots off that tee, employing a compass and oth er research equipment “And I discovered a most inter esting thing—every one of my sliced shots off that fifth tee moved in a curving line directly toward De Leon Springs from Chicago.” ® Western Newspaper Union.
