Jones, chairman of the RFC, has given the bankers of the country a warning that they might prof itably heed. "Calling attention to the obvious fact that the banks are not lending, Mr. Jones reports a persistent demand upon Congress that the Reconstruction Finance Corpora tion make direct loans. He warns the banks that unless deserving borrowers can get credit, they need not be surprised if Congress yields to pressure. Outlining “the first principles of banking,” Mr Jones points out that it means a situation “when even banker takes care of his own customers and his owr locality, lending at home, supporting and developing the farmers, merchants and industries of his owr neighborhood.” He feels that if the banks, now protected by the insurance of their deposits and thus relieved of the necessity of maintaining excessive liquidity, will begir to function normally, the credit situation in this country will be relieved and employment will be provided foi millions of people. Some Criticism May Be Justified The telegram that Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh sent to President Roosevelt in regard to the cancellation: of the air mail contracts has caused considerable dis cussion. There are those who" quite roundly denounce the famous aviator’s message, both as to its content and the manner of its release to the public. On the othfer hand, there are many who uphold the Colonel. In effect, Lindbergh charged the Chief Executive with violating American fair play by not giving the air trans port companies a hearing and thereby punishing the innocent as well as the guilty parties. As to the form of the release of the message, prim to its receipt by the President, there may be some justi fication for criticism. Not, mind you, against a public statement by the flying hero, but against the tactics employed. These, we admit, savored very much of a public challenge and reprimand to the President. We are inclined to side with the Colonel to the ex tent that we believe that it would have been far better to have cancelled the air mail contracts at the expiration of a thirty day period and to have renewed them then on a “cost plus” basis. If this had been done the Gov ernment would have avoided the harsh criticism which it has brought upon itself through the loss of several army pilots who were untrained in the particularly hazardous work of carrying the mail. Having said this much we wpuld point out that Colonel Lindbergh is undoubtedly a man of commendable quali ties who has behaved himself most excellently since fame came to him. His example, after returning from Paris, was modest, courageous and gentlemanly in every way. It, more than his spectacular flight, gave to him a character which has grown in the minds of citizens with the passing years. Without being argumentative, suppose we admit that the aviator made a mistake in some respects, even that he may have been used by those connected with aviation for their own causes and that his protest was ill-founded and untimely. What then? Surely, one mistake does not wipe out the splendid character that many of us admire and allowance should be made for his judgment when he saw, or thought he saw, destruction of our excellent aerial development. and which con tains Four Great Treasurer ^ BAH I UN Solomon’s Shrewd Proverbs Most of the Proverbs by Solo mon could hardly be called re ligious. They are the shrewd guide-posts to worldly wisdom, by which a man may make his way through life with most profit to himself and leasi discomfort to other people: The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. Reprove r.ot a scorner, last he hate thee: rebuke a wise , man, and he will love thee. A false balance is abomination to the Lord: but a just weight is his delight. As a jewel of gold in a swine’s snout> so is a fair woman which is without discretion. The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going. * Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith. He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. Many of the phrases and sen tences have entered into our common talk. Everybody knows them, but not everybody knows where they originated. Go to the ant thou sluggard; C9nsider her ways, and be wise. Hope deferred maketh the A soft answer turnet'h away 'wrath; but grievous words stir up anger. Where there is no vision, the people perish. j He that spareth his rod hateth j his son. | A man that hath friends must |shew himself friendly. ; Wine is a mocker, strong drink jis raging; and whosoever is de jceived thereby is not wise. A good name is rather to be eh own than great riches. Some of the wisest and most memorable observations o’-e set forth in poetic guise, which adds to their impressiveness: | There be three things which 'are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not: The way of an eagle in the lair; the way of a serpent upon |a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of I a man with a maid. For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear: For a servant when he reign eth; and a fool when he is filled with meat; For an odious woman when she is married; and an 'handmaid that is heir to her mistress. These latter selections are not Solomon’s, but come from .a man named Agur, the son of Jakch, about whom we know nothing. Louisa’s Letter WE USUALLY PAY FOR WHAT WE GET Dear Girls: We usually pay for the .things we get. Not always in money but in some kind of coin. Probably we decide to visit during our vacation instead of going to a resort. We figure out the ex pense and decide that our va cation will cost us very little. But wait—by the time that Aunt Lulie and Uncle Jim and the twins and their wives get through returning the compliment it would have been just as cheap to put up at a hotel'. Now I am not saying that we didn’t enjoy having them come to [see us or that we regretted our visit. I am merely making the point that we always pay for things and that there is no sense ; in fooling ourselves about it. The girl who marries without love and for money earns every bit of it in a manner of speak ing. She pays for it by living years with someone she doesn’t care for. She pays for it with days filled with longing for the happiness she doesn’t possess. The man who gives up every thing for wealth and fame pays for it with his lack of a loving family to brighten his days when he becomes old; with a dearth of real friends who like him for The man or woman who con sults only their own feelings and emotions when they decide great issues of their lives usually pay for such decisions very dearly. For instance the divorcee woh doesn’t take in consideration what such a step will mean to her children and breaks up her home because she fancies another man is likely to reap her reward later on when she sees how her child ren’s lives have been affected by | her acts; Not that I am un utterably opposed to divorce, for j I am not. Oftentimes *1 think > continuing to live with a degrad ed type of man and 'having the home atmosphere like unto a prize | fight ring would do one’s child iren more harm than to leave j such a man. 1 The man who doesn’t like to work and enjoys loafing around j will later on pay bitterly when ho realizes the advantages he has denied to his children and sees what strata of society he has forced them into. But I am straying away from my subject. What I am trying to get across is the fact that no matter how large or small the favors we accept or the acts we commit we pay for them all— sometimes in money, sometimes in heartache. Yours, LOUISA.

The name “Republican” will have to be dis carded, these folks say. Looking to Mid-Weet Those who feel that way, and. among them are some who are always factors to be reckoned with in national politics, are looking away from the two coasts for leadership and trying to find a figure in the Middle West, somewhere between Pittsburgh and Denver, who can be put for ward as a symbol' around which to rally those who dislike the present drift of things. Some of the names suggested and ser iously discussed are those of Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin, and his brother, Governor LaFol lette of the same state; Senator Gerald Nye of North Dakota, and Senator George W. Norris of Nebraska. To those Who object to those names as having rather too radical a connotation, the names of Senator Borah of Idaho and Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas are offered.
