It i> the duty of the ritiAen to support the government
and not the government the ritir.en.—Grover Cleveland.
“1 do not want to live under a philanthropy. I do not
want to be taken care of b> the government either directly or
hy an> instrument* through which the government is acting.
I want only to have right and justice prevail no far as 1 am
concerned. Give me right and justice and I will undertake to
take care of myaelf. I will not live under trustees if I can help
it. 1 do not care how wise, how patriotic, the trustees may be.
I have never heard of any group of men in whose hands I am
w illing to lodge the liberties of America in trust.”
—WOODROW WILSON.
EXPERIENCE COMES IIK.II
Just what the United States got for its investment in
the World War yet remains a disputed question and probab-
ly always will. Some say that the most we got was experi-
ence. experience which will count when it comes to getting
mixed up in another European affray. If experience was all
we gained, it came at a pretty high figure. Secretary Mor-
genthau in his detailed annual report for 1934, itemized the
cost of the World War to the United States. The figures are
something to think about. The total is set officially at up-
wards of $50,000,000,000.
Even for several years after the Armistice there were
odds and ends to clean up. Costs up to June 30, 1921. were
estimated by Secretary Morgenthau at $27,729,000,000. In-
terest on war debt is given as $9,557,000,000; veterans ad-
ministration, $6,391,000,000; and settlement of war claims,
$88,000,000. These figures do not include the $12,000,000,-
000 war debts item which covers amounts loaned allies during
and after the war and which they show no disposition to pay.
Small wonder more and more Americans are coming to look
at war as a prohibitive luxury and ridiculous economic waste.

The first man haul a brain over-arched lay a skull of noble

It was this brain within this marvelous arch that pulled him

With some such vague hut awe-inspiring strokes history
sketches for us the imrtuit of our first ancestor and leaves

lured on by the serpent, they did eat of the fruit of that. They
were discovered and promptly punished.
And Ihe Lord Hod said unto the serpent, Reeause thou hast
done this, thou are cursed above all rattle, and above every beast
of the field; upon thy belly shall thou go, and dust slialt thou
eat all the days of thy life.
As for Adam and Eve, they were cast out of the garden. The
ground was cursed with weeds and thistles; hard work and
the sweat of their brows was to be their portion until they
should return to the dust from which they came. So the Lord
drove out tho man; and he placed at the east of the garden of
Eden Cherubinis, and a flaming sword which turned every way,
to keep the way of the tree of life.
RAD EXAMPLE
Washington, as the federal capital, is a government city.
Not only is it ruled by congress without the grant of fran-
chise to its inhabitants, but its business is government. It is
a federal pay-roll eity. Its people subsist upon authority.
Working for it and catering to it are the means of livelihood.
It is dominated by legislators, administrators and judges. It
is the home of the lawmakers and of the department of jus-
tice and its agents. What a place to make a record for vice
and crime! The unenviable achievement of the capital city
in which government has everything under its thumb is to
become exemplar in lawlessness. Representative Jennings
Randolph of West Virginia, chairman of a special committee
of inquiry, says Washington is one of (he worse crime centers
in the country. There were 81 murders last year. The other
day the police uncovered what they suspect was a kidnaping
gang. The vices have assumed catering prerogatives. Wash-
ington is all politics. Whenever a city is found to be notori-
ously crime-ridden, wise inquirers seek a cause for the exhi-
bition in political arrangements. Lawlessness goes by favor
and favors go for hire. Roth are for profit. The Washing-
ton government has spread itself over the country in new
jurisdictions, chiefly, where it does not belong. It had better
clean up its own premises. Otherwise it stands attaint. —
Chicago Tribune.
\\ HERE DOES THE MONEY GO?
We haven’t heard very much lately about the charges
which were first voiced by Senator Rorah of widespread
waste and extravagance, if not of actual misappropriation, in
the administration and disbursement of relief funds. As we
understand it these charges were taken with some serious-
ness and Relief Adminstrator Harry Hopkins promised a
thorough investigation. There is little use in crying over
spilled milk; or to use another homely old-fashioned expres-
sion, in.locking the stable door after the horse has been stol-
en.
We do not profess to have any special information of par-
ticular instances of waste of public funds or of malfeasance
on the part of those charged with distributing them; but we
think we have a broad enough understanding of human na-
ture to recognize the probability that a great deal of the Fed-
eral relief money, disbursed as it has been through state and
county and local political bodies, did not get to its ultimate
destination, the people who were really in need of relief.
That is not to be taken as a criticism either of the Relief
Administration or of any itolitical party or organization or of
anything but the human race as a whole. We do not believe
it is pus ible in the present imperfect state of human nature,
to suddenly entrust the distribution of enormous sums of
money to individuals and groups who have had no experience
in handling money and who have not been trained to a sense
of trusteeship, without a great deal of that money sticking
to the fingers of a good many of the people who handle it.
For that reason we think that it is a very wise decision
on President Roosevelt’s part that Federal relief will from
now on take the form of employing men on real work at real
wages and putting it squarely up to the states to take care of
those who cannot or will not work.
Whether or not this will put an end to persons on relief
driving up for their grocery orders in their Packards we can-
not predict. At least, it will cease to be a national scandal
and become a situation for each state and community to con-
trol for itself.
We do not wish to cast a slur upon any particular state,
but we have noticed lately the report of one community in
which in the last year some 86 babies and 102 hound dogs
have been added to the relief rolls. We understand the Relief
Administration has accepted the babies but has begun to
draw the line at the dogs.
it is a pretty risky thing to expose most people to temp-
tation.—Autocaster Service. %
Wants Judgeship?
Pretty straight word from Wash-
ington is that Representative Mar-
vin Jones would like to be appoint-
ed to the federal bench and Is count-
ing strongly on receiving such a
pltim if the Congress pusses a hill,
recently introduced, to create a
new judgeship in his district. The
Amarillo man would be a valuable
addition to the federal bench but
such an appointment would mean
a distinct loss to the nation's agri-
cultural interests. As chairman of
the highly Important house com-
mittee on agriculture Jones has
rendered the farmers of this coun-
try a valuable service. He has al-
ways shown a keen interest in the
welfare of South and Southwest
Texas agricultural and livestock
interests and much of the agricul-
tural legislation passed by the
Congress in recent years has car-
ried the imprint of his work and
thought.

BETTER OFF THE RAILS
It seems deplorable that there should be a failure of fuel
provision anywhere, while wooden railroad cars are waiting

Optimism Grows
Last week wo reported here on
the optimistic business outlook in
the northern part of the South
Texas section as reflected in state-
ments of Karnes evanty business
men. A subsequent visit to Falfur-
rias In It rooks county, where this
column Is published in the Facts
disclosed that prospects are equal-
ly bright In the southern section.
The optimism over prospects for
the year and the many opportuni- J
ties for permanent development
surely make of South Texas one
Of the most fortunate areas of this
great nation. We have the mater-
ials with which to work and the
fault will he ours If we do not
build well in South Texas in tin-
next few years.
Brooks county, land of the beau-;
ttful heart's delight wild-flower is a
rich diversified agricultural section.
Kalfurrias, progressive business
center of (hat area, is a town of
active and pleasant people who are
building a "home” town. In addi-
tion to the business and industry
built on agriculture the town is the
location of n creamery which is
nationally known for Its product
and of a gypsum mine company
which ships its product to nil sec-
tions of the country.
Leaders Talk
G. R. Forsyth, president of the
chamber of commerce and manager
of the Gulf Gypsum company plant,
declares the Falfurriaa area Is In
good condition. "Our locality was
hurt less by the depression than
any place in Texas. With our de-
veloped dairy and citrus fruit in-
dustries and a well established
diversified farming program we
are not dependent upon any one
thing. While truck crops were
damaged by the freeie our ettrus
production will not he affected and
farmers* are replanting the damag-
ed truck acreage.”
More than 5,000 acres are plant-
ed to truck in the Falfurriaa urea.
Falfnrrias business interests en-
joyed from 15 to 25 per cent in-
crease In business volume during
January, 1935, over January, 1934,
and prospects are exceptionally
bright, according to W. H. Gardner.
A. <1. lluyes, cashier of the First
National bank, and J. C. Thomas,
real estate man, were equally op-
timsitic. “More money is In circu-
lation and people have lost their
pessimism,” Thomas declared.
"One actually can sell land, cattle,
or anything else again.”
K. I). Mcfntyre and L. E. McIn-
tyre, sons of the late It. J. McIn-
tyre, show their faith in their
town by a large modern filling sta-
tion development and l»v rebuild-
ing its a new location the sheds ntnl
office buildings of the McIntyre
Lumber company. Other construc-
tion jobs are underway and the
housing situation there is as seri-
ous as in all other communities
in our section.
Women Work
No South Texas town has more
ardent boosters than has Falfur-
rias in Mrs. Dan F. Smith and Mrs.
J. L. Gardner. Mrs. Smith is edi-
tor and publisher of the Facts,
weekly newspaper which is recog-
nized widely for its championing
of her home town and South Texas
interests. Mrs. Gardner is the very
active secretary and manager of
| the chamber of commerce.
