Legislators insist on the inalienable right of debate and then do not listen or walk out on the speaker. To be heard in legislative halls one must be either slanderous or a famous wit. And that applies to presidents as well as legislators.

Whether in congress or in state legislative halls the speaker seldom commands the attention of the whole body, and more often than not finds his voice drowned out by laughter, conversation and other noises. There is now in session in Washington a historic meeting of the national legislature before which are being debated many momentous questions. Are the senators and representatives interested in every word of those debates? From their conduct it would seem not. During the debate on Muscle Shoals more than half of the members of the senate walked out while Senator Bankhead had the floor. When he finished there was not a quorum in the hall.

Senator Norris lost his audience twice in the same afternoon, making it impossible when he was through to take a vote until the members had been recalled. Such an important and controversial issue as the inflation amendment to the farm relief bill was debated before less than half the senators and the vote had to 1 be delayed until the missing members could be summoned. Legislative debate survives only for the benefit of the press and for home consumption. Votes are seldom changed on the floor. But isn't it asking a lot of the constituents back home to expect them to read speeches their representatives make but will not listen to? SENATORIAL NONCHALANCE FISHER'S PLAN America, official and unofficial, has taken under advisement an ingenious plan conceived by Prof.

Irving Fisher, Yale University economist, for changing the gold content of the dollar to bring back prosperity and end depressions. The purpose of his scheme is to make the dollar buy a fixed amount of goods at all times, thereby ending permanently falling commodity prices and unstable wages and business fluctuations. If it would accomplish that it would accomplish everything. Under the Fisher plan the present dollar of 25.8 grains of gold nine-tenths fine would be the standard. Experts would then fix a standard for the amount of each commodity that could be bought for 25.8 grains of gold.

Thereafter there would be a new computation every two months, and if it took $1.01 to buy the amount which two months before could be bought for $1, the gold content of the rollar would be increased one per cent. And if it took only 93 cents to buy the amount, the gold content would be decreased to raise the price of a dollar. The amount of gold which the government would give in return for a dollar would thus constantly change with the changing prices of commodities. Applying the formula to the present with the dollar buying twice as much as four years ago, there would have to be about, half as much gold in the dollar as there is now. Professor Fisher has not always been right but on first inspection his latest economic panacea seems to be foolproof.

If otherwise, his fellow economists will soon tear it to pieces. THE NEW SPIRIT For the 13,000,000 jobless and the millions employed at less than living wages the last few days have brought cheering news. May the immediate future bring even more cheering reports and make them lasting. announcements of wage increases by large Numerous corporations during the past week were of great promise, but. the country is more interested in jobs for the jobless.

While the general wage level is too low it is that every able-bodied man and woman be gainfully more important employed. Wages cannot climb very high with millions out of work. Several hundred thousand persons have returned to work since May 1, according to American Federation of Labor figures. A few more weeks like the first seven days of this month will see the country well the road on to recovery, for every person returning to work makes work for somebody else. Perhaps the good example set in Washington has had something to do with it.

President Roosevelt and congress have been doing things, not asking others to do something about it. Now the idea is being taken up by business and individuals. Corporations big and small are hunting for business and finding it. And countless individuals have quit waiting for somebody to give them a job and are creating jobs for themselves. Brooding fear has departed this continent.

There is a new spirit abroad, the spirit of never say die. It may meet rebuffs as the weeks run into months but it will win the good fight in the end. Everyday Questions ANSWERED BY DR. S. PARKES CADMAN Questions from Evening Times readers Dr.

A BIG STICK THAT AM A BIG STICK The Scientist Killed By Radium Died That Others Might Live By Robert Quillen If your mind rejects the idea of a Creator and assumes that the universe began and developed by itself, you must regard all religions as superstitious nonsense. But if your mind accepts the existence of the universe as sufficient proof of a Creator, as the existence of a machine argues the existence of a machine-maker, simple logic should enable you to clear away the mysteries that now close your mind to the religion of your race.

If there was a Creator, with power to form matter and life and the laws that control them, He must exist today. The planets still travel their ordered way; the laws still function. If the Creator still exists, and His power is unchanged, the laws that govern the universe are still subject to His will. The power that can make a law can unmake it--else the creature is greater than his Creator. If the Creator can change or set aside His Law--the law we call "natural" -He can raise up a man to save the world in a crisis.

Then why doubt the divine origin of Jesus, the Savior of mankind, whose teachings have directed the destiny of the race for two thousand years? Perhaps you can believe in Him, and yet your reason is offended by the assertion that His sacrifice on the cross was necessary to save mankind. You can't conceive of an offended God, determined to have some kind of blood sacrifice, and willing to spare sinful men only on condition that Jesus die in their place. Your reason rejects the idea that a just God would require the blood of an innocent to appease His wrath at the guilty. Is that it? Well, look at it in another way. A king has seven sons.

Six of them tire of his authority and take up arms in open rebellion. He could send an army to slay them, but he desires their love and loyaltynot their death. To win them back he sends his seventh and youngest son with a message offering forgiveness. This one knows he will be regarded as an enemy and killed beyoungest fore his identity is discovered. Yet he goes willingly, to please his father and save his brothers.

His sacrifice is necessary, for there is no other way to deliver the message. He dies that others may live. He gives himself as a ransom for many. Where, then, is the mystery? The hero who gives his life for others pleases God, but not because God desires his death. Copyright 1933, Publishers Syndicate would only do as He desires, a great deal of trouble and would vanish.

So do not think He is a long way off; He is nearer to you than thebreath you breathe, your constant friend and companion, who is grieved when you do wrong and glad when you do right. Whether you are awake or asleep, His presence and His messengers of protection and guidance are always yours. I hope when your father or mother reads this answer to you that you will understand just what I am trying to tell you. If you do not, it will be all my fault and you must forgive me for being so stupid. Columbia, S.C.

Why do you oppose Hitler? He has won out, so give him a chance. I am only solicitous with millions of other Americans that Germany shall have her chance to recover peace and quietness, and be delivered from the chronic turmoil and brutality which hitherto have beset her political fortunes. But it Chancellor Hitler attempts to enforce the measures he advocated as an avowed candidate for absolute power he will endanger his country's welfare. The military caste which, as It believes, made Germany great, sees the cure for all ills of peace and war in the restoration of her armed might. Many who support Hitler are convinced that the aims of the new born republic will ultimately have to be attained under a monarchy and by armed force.

The bulk of general public opinion in Germany probably leans toward their conviction, if only because her citizens tend to follow the strongest lead. But is it the wisest one? You are of German origin, and so should know what has ravaged your parent nation. I wonder it a parasite nobility seeking unchallenged pre-eminence for itself by exploiting the plain folle of the Fatherland can solve the problems confronting it. I also ask whether Germany can find the prosperity she seeks in armed garrisons and by methods of conquest. It would seem that thoughtful Germans are doubtful about the Nazis and their leaders.

Otherwise why has President Hindenbrg summoned a coalition Cabinet to the rescue, thereby depriving Hitler of the unrestrained authority he demanded? He assumes office as an unknown quantity. His constructive and reconciling abilities have not been revealed in his previous positions. Now that responsibility rests on him the mere demagogue may become' a statesman. Even so, he is an experiment and should he fail Germany must foot the bill. Brooklyn, N.

Who is right? Neither. Winchester was the first capital of the Island Kingdom, and the bones of the early kings of Wessex and of England are interred in the great cathedral of that ancient city. Here Alfred the Great lay till his dust was removed to Hyde Abbey. Egbert is also here, who was the first monarch of "Angle-land" or Eng. land, and back from Egbert, who died eleven hundred years ago, the burial of Saxon princes, reaches to Kynegils, King of the West Saxons, who was converted to Christianity in 634 A.D.

William Fufus, son of William the Conqueror, whose killing in the New Forest while hunting was welcomed by the people, is buried before the altar of Winchester Cathedral, and the remains of the Saxon and Danish kings are cofined in mortuary chests placed upon the screen of the presbytery of that church. The Plantagenets favored Westminster Abbey because they wished to be as near as possible to the tomb of St. Edward the Confessor, which they supposed might sanctify their rest after their adventurous exploits. Here are the monuments of Edward the First, the "Hammer of Scotland," of Edward the Third and his Queen, of Henry the Fourth, hero of the French wars, and of Richard the Second, the unhappy son and heir of the Black Prince who sleeps near the shrine of St. Thomas a Becket in the choir of Canterbury, Some of the Stuart sovereigns lie in Henry the Seventh's Chapel, Westminster Abbey, and so do princes of the Tudor and Hanoverian dynasties, including Elizabeth of England and Mary, Queen of Scots.

Charles the First was taken to Windsor for interment alter his execution. Queen Victoria is buried with her band, the Prince Consort, at Frogmore near Windsor. Edward the Second, brutally murdered at Eerkley Castle, was taken to Gloucester Cathedral when it was a monastic establishment, and other cathedrals and abbeys have a few royal tombs among their attractions.

The other day, while plowing the field again for the first time in 12 years he unearthed the pestle, in almost identically the same place.
