THE DAILY ADVERTISER MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1933 FOUR Out Our Way THE DAILY ADVERTISER LAFAYETTE. LOUISIANA By Williams, M. CALLAHAN EDITOR AND MANAGER Published every evening except Sunday by the Lafayette Advertiser-Gazette. at the Advertiser Building. Lincoln AVENUE.

ENTERED AS SECOND CLASS MATTER APRIL t. 114. AT THE POST OFFICE AT LAFAYETTE, LOUISIANA UNDER ACT 'of congress of March s. ios7. Childrens Treat Josiah Boyden thought it was good for people to go to Sunday School.

He thought ice cream cones were good for them, too. And so, seven years after Mr. Boydens death, the money he left in a trust fund for the purpose has been buying ice cream cones for faithful Sunday School attendants in the Massachusetts town where Josiah Boyden lived. Often men have made strange bequests, devised unusual means of disposing of their wealth after death. Some endow universities, establish memorial funds, erect monuments.

Some give fortunes to odd cults that have aroused their interest. Against such projects the ice cream cone trust fund is extremely small only $1000 and unpretentious. Yet boys and girls attending the Massachusetts Sunday School will not forget those ice cream cones, and it is doubtful if the finest building or monument could perpetuate the name of the donor in a more lasting way than has this fund. Here is another example of the fact that often the simplest acts are best remembered, exert the greatest influence.

The Most Important Labor Movement Right Now To every employer and employe there comes today the opportunity to make the coming year one of sanity, toleration and justice in the conditions under which men work.

Recent weeks have seen a market tendency to adjust long-standing labor troubles to arrive at sane, fair agreements by discussion rather than dragging through mutually-exhausting strikes. With measurable business improvement already apparent and in sight for fall and winter, there is every incentive for a period of wise thinking and action on the part both of those who work and those who direct. The rise of movements like the Toledo plan to consider the interests of the whole community as no less vital than those of the factions directly involved, indicates a thorough trial for such informal mdans of giving the public a chance to be heard, too. For after all, it is the public that suffers when industrial strife becomes violent and widespread. What the Wagner-Connery act will mean to labor is not yet clear.

Much depends on who is appointed to the labor board which has such wide powers in administering it. But it is certain that in such industries as steel, automobiles and rubber, another determined effort will be made to organize workers. Those groups whose object is to raise a rumpus rather than wages will renew their activity. There will 'probably be conflicts, as there unfortunately must ever be in any democratic system where neither labor nor capital is under the thumb of a dictatorial government. But the trend of the time is toward tolerance, Sanity and decency on both sides of the perennial labor problem.

One need draw no sugary picture of a silk-hatted capitalist shaking hands with a paper-capped laborer to recognize this essential truth: labor and capital are indispensable parts of the same machinery that keeps us all alive. Capital Is necessary even in a socialist state all that is changed is the manner of control of capital, and a driving bureaucracy may be as hard a master as the unenlightened capitalist. Before there can be enterprise and production under modem conditions there must be capital. There must be labor, too. And Siamese twins, though they may not like each other at all times, Jiave no alternative than to live together as harmoniously as possible.

Neither can be well if the pther is sick. It Is in this spirit that American workmen and employers must approach the coming year if the present signs of improvement are to fulfill their promise. 1936 BY NfcA SEfew'iCS. tNC. Elfle Fay, the Belle of Avenue lady, was originator of the tripping and mugging" exit that flourished so long in vaudeviUe and sometimes salted musical comedy.

The innovation was born by sheer accident. Miss Fay was leaving the stage one day when she suddenly tripped and in her embarrassment began to mug to cover her confusion. The gambado was received with howls by the audience and so she made it a part of her act. varying it slightly for each exit. 335RS WHALES CAN DIVE A MILE BELOW THE SURFACE.

JEFFERSON THEATRE A little cupid who picks her spots to shoot her darts best describes Shirley Temples portrayal in Curly Top. the new Fox Film comedy-drama now playing at the Jefferson Theatre.

Shirley has the role of a little orphan who wins her way into the heart of John Boles, a wealthy trustee of the orphange. At the large summer mansion which Boles owns, Shirley enacts the role of cupid to perfection. Rochelle Hudson, believing Boles is not interested in her, decides to marry someone else, hut Shirley, who knows differently, employs her childish charms to bring the two together. Playing the role of cupid, however, does not in the least prevent Shirley from singing and dancing. And then there is the cut-up in Bls- CIip out this reatur.

BY RODNEY DUTCHES It takes at least five men (from among the nine supreme court justices) to declare an act of Congress unconstitutional. But Congress itself can produce a situation wherein just one man can keep a law on which both houses have passed from ever going into effect. That was one of the things discovered this year about the conference system under which House and Senate undertake to iron out differences in the bills theyve passed on the same subject.

Other things became apparent as to the conference system. It was used, as never before, in the recent session as a face-saving device. Anxious to get away from here, one house or the other frequently to save time on debate accepted this or that amendment with the assurance that it would be thrown out by the conference, whereupon Senate or House could gracefully accept the conference report without stultifying itself One of the last examples was the Senates passage of the Borah amendment to the tax bill, removing tax exemption from future government securities, and the McCarran amendment, restoring free trading in silver each time with tongue in cheek. The conferees knocked out both those amendments and there never was any doubt of it. But it seemed much more astonishing when one man, by single-handed effort, for weeks prevented final actiorion the controversial holding company bill.

Congressman George Huddleston of Alabama, opposing his two Democratic colleagues on the conference committee and siding with the two Republicans, held off the Senate conferees in their effort to compromise on the death sentence. Huddleston stood in that position of power because a majority of each conference delegation must agree before the conferees can report back a compromise to the two houses. The significance in such a situation lies in the tremendous pressure to which a man in Huddlestons position is likely to be subjected. Lobbyists in the past have often worked on conferees, sometimes successfully. Huddleston stood with the enormous political pressure of the administration on one side and the terrific pressure of the power lobby on the other.

There is no evidence that he felt either of these pressures or that the lobbyists had anything to do with his grim fight against the death sentence. But certainly it was an extremely unfair situation for a man to be in. H. C. Hopson of Associated Gas Electric testified victory in the holding company battle was worth at least $6,000,000,000 to the $12,000,000,000 industry.

If thats true, it is quite easy to perceive that a man in Huddlestons position might be worth a billion dollars or so to the lobby. Presumably no one ever had the nerve to offer Huddleston as much as a cigar. But congressmen have been venal at times. And you have only to recognize the possibilities to realize why Senator Norris of Nebraska hates the conference system so bitterly and why he made the issue of the third house one of his chief points in his victorious fight for a one-house legislature in Nebraska. Congressman Eicher of Iowa, who led the floor fight for the death sentence so vigorously that he collapsed and has been ill ever since, charged that he never sat with a man who more obviously and deliberately attempted to make it impossible to carry on a constructive and conclusive discussion of a piece of legislation than Mr.

Huddleston. He spoke also of the Alabamans conduct to date in the conference an unyielding determination to make no concessions whatsoever and to kill the whole bill. Hopson, meanwhile, was testifying that he had recently been devoting his efforts to the end that there be no bill at all. In the end, the House, which had been supporting Huddlestons uncompromising stand, backed down on him after terrific pressure by the administration, and ordered him to accept a compromise. But this was very close to the end of the session and might easily not have come to pass.

The facts do not damage anybodys impression of Huddleston as a vigorous independent who stood out honestly for his convictions, even though those convictions coincided with the desires of the power trust. But they do show what a peculiar thing the conference system is and how it can give one man enormous power and place him squarely on the spot.

NEXT: How much gold lias been taken from the Homestake mine, at Lead, SJIk Wash Tubbs strangc Dolngs By CranQ The small band of Hitlerites which, to world Bmazement, remains at the head of the government of the Reich, persists, against world opinion, in a malevolent persecution of a racial minority. It encroaches also on the ancient religious liberties of most other Germans, presuming to regulate individual beliefs about the future life. The Jewish minority is made up in very large part of German citizens, descendants of Jews who domiciled in different parts of Germany cen-, turies ago. The citizens have contributed very largely to Germanys great achievements in the arts and sciences. They know no other country.

Large numbers of them died on battlefields for their Ger-Ijrnan fatherland. There is abundant proof that most Germans of other racial origin are bitterly opposed to this persecution. These note with increasing anger that -under Hitlerian direction, the religious persecution is now extended against other religious groups whose tlong established liberties are being curtailed. will soon cast off this strange yoke. Hitlerism is cruelly breaking the agreements, express and implied, under which centuries ago, fthe ancestors of those now persecuted first saluted it he German colors and became German citizens, peyond that it demands that all other Germans -shall worship only a tribal god long since rejected by Christianity and Judaism alike.

CANADA looks back upon the? premiership of Sir Wilfrid! Laurier as the period when it ex-i panded immensely in agriculture. in foreign trade, in railway build-! ing and its relations with Great Britain and the United States. And) so, this great orator who was! ternied Silver Tongued remains one of the greatest men' in Canadian history. First Frenclt-Canadian premier, Laurier became Liberal leader in 1887, at the age of 46. and from then until 1911 led his country through continued progress.

A Bank Safety At A Profit Your bank deposits, if they are in one of the "14,279 banks which are members of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, are even safer than they were last year. For the corporation made a profit of $4,716,409 In the fiscal year ended June 30.

It paid out only $2,760,000 as liability in bank failures in 18 months, pnd took in $9,057,195 during the fiscal year. In fact, there have been only 22 failures of Insured banks in the 18 months deposit insurance has been in effect, and 93 per cent of the deposits in the banks that failed were covered by the insurance. Of the fewer than 2000 banks remaining outside the insurance corporation, 51 closed during Jhe same 18-month period. Chairman Crowley of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is reasonable when he interprets this far-below-normal number of bank failures as a tribute to the principle and administration of the deposit insurance law. This is one recent reform that seems grounded in solid rock.
