Nb a itcoid'clau mili Wt'.ti R. A. BATES, Publisher SUSSCSIPTI05 PRICE $2.00 PES YEAR HI ADVAUC1 Onward to California is Hoover's march. :o:- There is many a true word spoken in gestures. -:o:- Organization is what counts in a political campaign. :o: Senator Reed is getting in shape to wake up Hoover and his coharts. :o: Some poiticians seem to forget that common sense is still left to a whole lot of people. :o: Another big difference between the scenes is that a man feels embar rassed when his garters show. :o; "A million dollars," remarked the defendant who hazarded a wage, now and then "says I'm not guilty." z Mr. Vare was responsible for Mr. Hoover's getting in and turn about, you know Is supposedly fair play. :o: The best reducing exercise con sists in moving the head from left to right when asked to have some more. :o:- You can easily tell a political sniper by the soft manner when his right hand is protruded to you for a shake. -:o:- Now it is said courts should be organized to get at the facts and not to act as umpires in the great legal game. Why not do so, then? -:o: If the Mark Twain Association es tablished its chair of humor in a college it will make a mistake. The place for it is in a barber shop. :o:, A small corsage to decorate shape ly ankles is being worn now says the Ladies' Home Journal. And who ever notices the ankles these days? -:o:- We might mention, too, thiit we feel that the fellow who say3 that the next war will be with insects still has a lot to learn about the last war. -:o: "I can't marry every man I know," Peggy Joyce replied to a newspaper Interviewer's question the other day. She might have added, "But I can try." :o: While the old post road tavern and canal inn departed more than a quarter of a century ago in this country in the towns and cities and the automobile and good roads have lined the highways with comfortable inns and tea houses for the shelter ing and feeding of the tourist. Give your stomach a vacation, too! It needs the rest, these hot days and Shredded Wheat gives it. The thoroughly baked shreds of whole wheat are easily digested and act as regulators for the whole system. That's because Shredded Wheat is na ture's own food just pure whole wheat with all the healthful qualities of the original grain left in. Vitamins and bran are im portant these days. Shredded Wheat con tains them and all other food elements in balanced form. Serve it with whole milk and fruit. Made by The Shredded at Niagara Falls The campaign machine begins to grind in the east. f :o: Maybe Mr. Hoover went to Brule to organize the fishing. Perhaps every man has his place, but in most cases it is very elastic. :o:- The republican party is the cor poration party and corporations are against the laborers. :o: Wait till Al Smith begins his march westward if you want to see crowds flock to the depot. :o: If a few more politicians would put in a few licks on the farm, the farmers would get better pay. :o:- The first voter should get well posted on the issue at stake and try to vote right for the first time. :o: Women always have gone in fur something, now it is powdering the nose and pulling down the skirts. The claim is made aviation will be made practically as safe as travel on the railroads. Nothing is said as to automobiles. It's an ill wind that blows nobody good and if a few more gangsters die, the florists in Chicago will be able to live on the income. :o:- All things are relative, and we suppose that being the presidential candidate of the Prohibition party is being famous after a fashion. :o:- The German cabinet warns the crown prince to keep out of trouble and "tick to his golf." That's not very good advice if the prince slices. :n:- Another unusual feature about this campaign is the fact that, to date the Democratic chairman has not had to look up the spelling of "deficit." :o: Testimony taken by a Senate com mittee on the republican patronage frauds in Georgia indicates that "All God's Chillun Got Posteoffices" to sell. :o:- The Boy Scouts are campaigning against smoking of cigarettes by women. Mothers seen behind the barn sneaking a puff should be re ported. :o: An Atlanta minister says that with Smith as their candidate the Demo crats are sure of only one Southern state, Louisiana. The inside of his head must be a rallying place for intolerance. Wheat Company Visitors Welcome iiISS Anybody who thinks Gov. Smith won't carry the Solid South in No-j vember is simply foolish in the head-' The South has always been loyal to the Democratic party, and there! is no logical reason today why it should not continue. Therefore, in figuring on the out come of the Presidential election, Gov. Smith has the South with 136 electoral votes, already counted. These 136 votes will be cast by the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Missis sippi, North Carolina, South Caro lina, Texas, Tennessee, Oklahoma and Virginia. Although Coolidge defeated Davis four years ago by a plurality of 7, 33S.513 votes, in reality it will re quire a change of only 826,922 votes in certain states to change the result. The following table shows what is needed : Popular Electoral Votes Votes Arizona 2,141 3 Indiana 105. S99 15 Kentucky 12,056 13 Maryland 7.177 8 Missouri 37,807 18 New Hampshire- 20.68S 4 New ersey 1 89,138 14 New Mexico 3,102 3 New York 434,632 45 West Virginia 14,702 8 826,922 131 136 Add South 136 Electoral Vote 267 And .that's enough to put the New York Governor in the Presidential chair. Furthermore, if the Democratic party carries Massachusetts this year, and it seems certain that this will be the case, it could then afford to lose Arizona. New Hampshire, New Mexico and West Virginia, and still achieve victory. These figures, it should be borne in mind, do not take into account the state of Ohio, Illinois, Montana. Nevada, Colorado, Wisconsin, and Minnesota in which the Demcoratic party has much more than a good fighting chance. It is the brightest outlook the Democratic party has faced in mar.y a day. :o: THE NEW CHAIRMAN The selection of John J. Raskob a-s chairman of the Democratic national committee, to direct the pending campaign, was a bit breath-taking. Mr. Raskob is a man of millions, n wizard of finance, and a Catholic of high rank in his church. Some believe that it would have been better political strategy to pick a Protestant for this honor, and Mr. Raskob's selection was proof con clusive of two things: First: Religion is not to be con sidered in the campaign. Second: Political strategy, which is another word for trickery, is to give way to open diplomacy, a bat tle in the daylight, is forceful and determined effort to sell the Demo cratic ticket to the voters of the na tion. It will be a campaign pitched on high grounds and directed by sound principles. Mr. Raskob sold General Motors to the nation. He will be equally successful in selling the Democratic ticket, because his goods are better than those of his competitors. :o: DEFINING THE "SAFE" DRIVER We hear a great deal about "safe" drivers, but the term very seldom is denned. The American Automobile Association recently asked the ques tion of a number of safety engineers throughout the country and learned: The safe driver maintains his car in a state of mechanical perfection so that all its parts, particularly those that control starting, stopping and steering will respond at once. The safe driver regulates his speed according to the density of traffic and other conditions, evident and possible. His eye is constantly on the nearest obstacle to his pro gress and his speed never is so great he cannot stop before reaching that obstacle, if the necessity arises. The safe driver is courteous to othr drivers and to pedestrians, keeping in mind always their in dividual rights on the road. The safe driver concentrates his mind on driving and does not day dream or allow his attention to wan der for a moment. That seems to epitomize it. :o: Congress is to take some definite action as to the long due reappoint ment. The plan is to use the 1930 I census. Three years more of the' present one. :o: You can't procure contentment with money; but the fact that the converse is equally true arrests the force of the proposition. FORDSOFJ TRACTORS For Sale! Plaitsmouih Motor COMPANY Ford Dealers WM. ALLEN WHITE'S ROORBACK William Allen White had a Puri tanical brainstorm and ran amuck against Gov. Smith. His assault had all the sound and fury of a Kansas cyclone. In alleged defence of what he calls Puritan civilization, 1 e charged Governor Smith with an abominal record in support of open Sunday saloons, gambling dens and prostitution. He asserted the facts bore out his charges. Gov. Smith immediately replied with an indignant sweeping denial of the charges and declared there was absolutely no foundation for them in his record He charged the authorship of them to one O. R. Miller of New York, a professional "dry" and, according to Gov. Smith, a professional liar. He said Miller had lied about him for 10 years, and cited specific lies which he had ut tered and which had been wholly disproved. Mr. White denied that he had re ceived his data from Miller, and vaguely said he had gathered it from New York newspapers. That any New York newspaper has printed any such stuff at Mr. White charges is news in New York. But it is signi ficant that Mr. Miller acknowledges that he sent data to Mr. White. There i3 no use in dealing with the malignant charges of Mr. White in detail. He pictures Gov. Smith as the enemy of morality, the church and the schools, as a defender of gambling, intemperance and prosti tution, and a presumed packer, if elected, of the United States Supreme Court in the cause of anti-prohibition. The point of interest lies in tht sort of attack which Mr. White made upon Gov. Smith. It is a sample of the kind of stuff that may be expect ed from the prejudiced propagandists on both sides. It is a base and reck less method rf attack. Fortunately, the broadside and misrepresentation let off by Mr. White kicked harder than it shot. It hurt him much worse than the target. It knocked him out, and the result of it ought to be a warning to all others who contemplate in jecting vicious prejudiced attacks and lying propaganda into this cam paign. The proof of its futility and the reaction on decent fair minded peo ple ought to put a stop to it. -:o:- C0NGRATULATI0NS TO HOOVER It was an American who prolong the ugly dispute over Louvian Li brary. Whitney Warren, an archi tect who planned the restoration of the shell-torn edifice, insisted that its facade be inscribed with the phrase: "Destroyed by German fury, restored by American generos ity." For weeks the conflict raged. Warren was opposed by officials of Louvain University and by sensible persons everywhere. But he contin ued to stir up bad blood and to in cite the students of Louvain to dis orderly demonstrations. For a while the issue was in doubt, when War rent went so far as to appeal to the courts, but in the end good sense and good taste prevailed. On July 4 the restored building was dedicated and no reminder of war hatred defaces its facades. It was also an American who set tled the quarrel, once and for all, namely Herbert Hoover. Mr. Hoover is one of the members of the restor ation committee and his word had conclusive weight. It is to his credit that he gave that word in a cable gram to Louvian officials. When the cablegram was shown to Warren, he quit Louvian for Italy. We congratu late Mr. Hoover for putting an end to as unseemly a dispute as has arisen since the war. -:o:- One of the revelations made by the senate committee inquiry Into cam paign expenditures by presidential candidates is that so very little is spent by candidates themselves and so much by their friends. At any rate it is all legitimate and no cor ruption whatever. This is a big country. That some of the folks down in South Mississippi are still against dipping is proven by the story of the dynamiting of seven dipping vats in Walthal county. "There are none so blind as those who will not see." end this seems to apply with striking force to these people who cannot be made to realize that South Mississippi can never make substantial progress until the permanency of the live stock indus try is assured. That can be done only through eradication of the cat tle tick. "I'm fer dipping," stoutly declar ed an old piney woods farmer several years ago. His species, unfortunate ly, is not yet extinct.
