good chance of being elected President
the first time he ran. Only the most

plus an enormous campaign fund, plus

Yet for some curious reason Bryan

that time were just jokes. As one of

Dill Comments
That President Roosevelt missed the
boat as far as accomplishing his New
Deal reforms, when he did not press
for a constitutional amendment in the
spring of 1833, is the interesting com-
ment on the present case of Jitters
in Washington by Ex-Senator Dill, of
Washington.
Regarded as an advanced If not ex-
treme radical, Dill, who was one of
the outstanding “For Roosevelt Before
Chicago” leaders, voted against NIRA
when it passed the senate. Later he
began to have misgivings as to whether
he had made a mistake, because he
saw a number of advantages which
grew out of it. But, he contends, {it
should have been allowed to dle some
time back, having served its purpose.
Now, the former senator declares,
if a constitutional amendment were to
be submitted granting the federal gov-
ernment the power to regulate mini
mum wages, maximom hours, and fair
trade practices sought under the code
system, he would take the stump
against ratification of such an amend
ment.
All of which Is significant in con-
nection with a former dispatch In
which opposition to such a constitu-
tional change In Massachusetts, Maine,
Vermont, New Jersey, Maryland, Dela-
ware, Virginia and Georgia was out-
lined.

Steam Engine Made by
Watt Is Still Running
More than 150 years ago James
Watt built a steam engine for a
plant at Broseley, in Shropshire. It
must have been about 1770.
Watt has been dead for many
years, but the engine is still work-
ing, probably the oldest operating
steam engine In the world, says a
London correspondent of the Detroit
News,
The engine was originally used to
sink the shaft of what are known
as “The Deep Pits” at Broseley, and
it has driven the pit cage ever since
Apart from the fact that it was
