Eotb the Democratic and Repub

this statement has a twofold mean

It's all very sad and interesting
these hundreds of miliions of dollars
the multimillionaires of America
have lost since 1929. But who got
it?

One of the annoying things of be

the blisters one get3 pitching hay

The Associated Press quotes Libby
Holman's father as saying "Libby is
the tenderest girl in the world, and
v.ould d; no harm to nobody." What
is meant, we take it, is that Libby
ain't never done no harm to nobody
and never won't.
:o:
When a business man goes home
and finds his wife in tears over some
annoyance, Le gives her the tender
sympathy she expects. But at the
same time he is probably thinking
that if he gave way to his feelings in
proportion to the aggravation after
a hard day in the store cr office, you
could hear him bawling for a mile.
Do You Remember
THE Republican Party isn't a
"Poor Man's Party." Repub
lican prosperity has erased that
eifgradinir jihasf from our xo
litical vocabulary.
The Republican Party is
equality's party opportunity's
party democracy's party, the
party of national development,
not sectional interests the im
partial servant of every ta1e
are! condition in the Union.
Under higher tariff and bnv
r taxation, America has stabil
ized output, employment and
dividend rates.
Republican efficiency has
filled the working-man's dinner
pail and his gasoline tank be
sides made telephone, radio
and sanitary plumbing- standard
liHUsch old equipment. And
placed the whole nation in the
silk stocking class.
Iejrimr eight years of Repub
lican management, we have,
built more ,and belter homes,
e reel e d more skyscrapers,
pa-sed more benefactory laws,
and more laws to regulate and
pur.'fy immigration, inaugurat
ed mire conservation measures,
more measures to standardize
and increase production, ex
jamJ export markets, and re
duc industrial and human junk
piles, than in any previous
quarter century.
Republican prosperity is
written on fuller wage envel
ops, written in factory chimney
smoke, written on the walls of
new construction, written in
savings bank books, written in
mercantile balances, and writ
ten in. the peak value of .docks
arid bonds.
Republican prosperity has
reduced hours and Increased
earning capacity, silenced dis
content, put the proverbial
'chirken in every pot." And a
car in every backyard, to boot.
It has raised living standards
and lowered living- costs.
It has restored linancial con
fidence and eti t h u s i a s m,
changed credit from a rich
man's privilege to a common
A Chicken for Every Pot

"Vote for Hoover"
The stirring description cf Elysium printed above is a word-for-word
reprint of one of the full-page advertisements printed in behalf of Mr.
Hoover when he was campaigning four years ago. In view of the fact that
Le has been renominated by the Republican convention, the material has
a certain piquant interest.
There is nothing more unsatisfac
tory than a one-sided kiss.

Vacation time is almost as bad as
the Christmas holidays. By the way,
do you know there are only 142 more

As soon as Governor Roosevelt re

A national research council in
quiry indicates that nearly half of
the reporting companies spent more
on research in 1931 than in 1929
a fact revealing the value placed,
even in face of falling sales, on im
provement of eld products and pro
cesses and finding of new ones.
:o:
Clara Bow, erstwhile redhead of
the films, has returned from the
ranch of her husband. Rex Bell, and
announces she has lost eighteen
pounds "by doing my own cooking."
We appreciate the difference the loss
undoubtedly has made in Miss Bow's
general architecture, but would it be
too impertinent to ask just what
chance her cooking has wrought in
Mr. Bell?

of the nation into a unified

Thanks to Republican admin
istration, farmer, dairyman and
merchant (an make deliveries

fund exorbitant mortgages, and
stock their pastures, ranges and
shelves.
Democratic management im
poverished and demoralized the

ship,, squandered billions on
impractical programs.
Democratic, mal-administra-tion
issued further billions on
mere "scraps of paper,' then
encoui'a'-ed foreign debtors to
believe that their loans would
never .be calle, n,nd bequeathed
to tie- Republican Party the job
of mopping up the mess.
Republican administrat ion
has restored to the railroads
solvency, efficiency and par .-e-curil
ies.
It lias brought the rubber
trades through panic and chaos,
brought down the prices of
crude r u b b e r by smashing
monopolistic rings, put the tan
i.er's b rd;s in the black and se
cur. d from the European pow
ers formal acknowledgment of
their obligat ions.
The Republican Party rests
its case on a record of steward
ship and performance.
Its presidential and Congres
sional candidates stand for
election orr a platform of sound
practice. Federal vigilance, high
tariff, Constitutional integrity,
the conservation of natural re
sources, honest and construc
tive measures for agricultural
relief, sincere enforcement of
the laws, and the right of all
citizens, regardless of faith or
crigin to share the benefits of
opportunity and justice.

The most unfortunate man in

been forced to forego his customary
roasting ear orgy because he can't
afford to pay for repairs on his store

A man called at this office to find
out where he could buy nice, clean
rags. He said he had been trying for
weeks to buy some rags but just

Says the Smith County (Kas.)
Pioneer, giving the grounds on
which a wife is ruing lor divorce:
"Once in a rage, her husband, she

:o:
Vacation is a necessary and noble
institution. It gives people a chance
to get away from other people and
associate with bugs. And it gives
Lugs a chance to get away from ether
bugs and associate with people. 1
hope the bugs get as much benefit
from the chance as we do.
:o:
Will the time ever come when the
newspapers print honest-to-goodness
articles telling the public exactly
what the defects of some of the can
didates arc? Such items as printed
now are like the epitaph on a tomb
stone they tell only the good points
and pass over the bad qualities

The Irish Free State is launching
a tariff war against Great Britain.
The tariff gun is a new type cf w eap
on in the hands of Irishmen, but it
has proved very deadly in a number
of previous cases. One of the inter
esting features of a tariff gun is that
no one is ever very certain which
way it's going to Fhoot. All that is
known about it is that the safest
place is in the direction cf the
; weapon is pointed.
:o:
OUTLAW TEE SUBMARINE
Once again the world is shocked
j fcy a peacetime submarine disaster.
One? again in response to the world's
demand to know why and how it
j happened there is no answer except
jthe speculations and conjectures of
I the experts. Meanwhile some sixty
'men lie in 150 feet of water off
j Cherbourg trapped in the French
submarine Promethee.
Less than six months ago the
world was shocked as it heard of
the sinking of the British M-2 off
Portland Bill and the heroic but un
availing attempts to raise it. Three
months before that it was the turn
of Russia, when one of its subma
rines sank in the Gulf of Finland.
iFour months previously the British
submarine Poseidon foundered off
the coast of China, and eighteen days
before that a Russian submlrine
dropped to the bottom of the Baltic
sea. Two similar disasters have dark
ened the career of United States sub
marines since 1925. How often must
the world be shocked before the na
tions rise and demand the abolition
of all slinking submergible craft?
Unlike the airplane and the air
ship, whose achievements in peace
are far greater than they ever were
in war time, the submarine is de
signed only lor murder and destruc
tion. It has no other use or pur
pose. It will be argued, and with
justice, that such is the purpose of
all war armament. But no other
form of it is more repulsive to every
sense of decency in its war-time ac
uities, or so sinister in its menace
to those who man it in time of peace.
The time is ripe for the outlaw
ing of the submarine and the oppor
tunity is present. On the very day
that the rromethee' sank, Mr. Stan
ley Baldwin, reading to the House
of Commons the declaration of the
British disarmament policy, stated
that the United Kingdom view has
been, and is. that the submarine
should be entirely abolished.
It is true the submarine seems
more necessary to the defenses of
some nations than of others. France
has held it indispensable in view of
her peculiar circumstances. One may
wonder whether, in view of the pres
ent disaster, French opinion may
not question whether such supposed
protection is worth the price. It may
be inquired, too, if there are not oth
er forms of security which may be
offered in lieu of reliance on the un
dersea boat.
Already the Disarmament Confer
ence is said to be agreed to limt
such craft to a certain tonnage. Civ
ilization and the common dictates of
humanity cry out against the sub
marine, its war-time and peace-time
horrors.
DOESN'T UNDERSTAND
WHAT COUNTRY NEEDS
President Hoover vetoes the re
lief bill, as he had made known that
he v.ould. In his veto he repeats
soum? objections which he had made
previously and which The Journal
! has discussed and supported
With
them, however, he says other things
which reveal again his failure to un
derstand what the country needs,
lie reveals his limiting, inescapable
belief that the only possible way to
help anybody is to give the big man
more money, and then hope and pray
that the man in need will somehow
benefit.
"The purpose of the expansion,"
says the president, "is no longer in
the spirit of solving a great major
emergency by to establish a priv
ilege, whether it s rves a great na
tional need or not."
How does any man, president or
anyone else, get a right to attack
the 'purposes of other men, pronounc
ing them wrong becaure their meth
ods are not his methods? It is just
a.-- easy to sy tha; the purpose of
the enormous refunds of taxation by
the treasury was to enrich great
concerns and influent ial men, wheth
er the refund was justified or rot.
As for "establishing privilege,"
what about subsidies to shipping
lines, under the name of carrying
the mail, reaching all the way to 59
thousand dollars fcr 12 pounds of
mail? And loans to these con. panics
in cdidtion to these gicantic sub
sidies? A loan of more than 10 mil
lion dollars to one concern at ar.
average rate of of 1 percent, when
the government was paying S per
cert for money? But if it is pro
posed that money go to individuals
bet ause they have not been helped
by the Hoover ?1, 500. 000, 000 Re
construction Finance corporation
fund. then. Mr. Hoover says, the pur
pose i "to establish a privilege."
"It would be within the power of
these agenciesj" says Mr. Hoover,
"to dictate the welfare of millions
of people, to discriminate between
competitive business at will." Yes,
and this is now within the power
of his Reconstruction Finance cor
poration. Nor has the corporation
offered reports to show that it is not
doing exactly these tilings.
President Hoover shows courage
when he attacks the proposal to u?e
federal taxpayers' money to let muni
cipalities and states which have fail
ed to meet their responsibilities
"dump their liabilities upon the fed
eral government." Chicago won't
like that and Chicago is more than
three million people, casting a lot
of Illinois big electoral college vote.
But Mr. Hoover mars his good and
sufficient reasons with his impat
ience, apparently his irritation at
that part cf the relief bill which
with all its weakness, was intended
to show that the government of the
United States cares about the indi
vidual. Milwaukee Journal.

BLOODY BUT UNBOWED
The head of Rev. F. A. High, sup
erintendent of the Nebraska Anti
Saloon league, may be just a wee bit
bloody, but it is unbowed. The de
sertion of the league by the Rocke
fellers and others may cause Rev
Mr. High and other league leaders
a bit of worry as to where their sal
aries are to come from, but there is
always tie possibility of stimulating
collections among the parishioners
In his telegram to Nebraska's rep
resentatives in congress Rev Mr,
High declares that "we" meanii
himself and other members of the po
litical organization' which he heads
"are opposed to submission of any
repeal or modification proposal which
would destroy or weaken national
prohibition." Just why Rev. Mr.
High should insert the word "weak
en" in his statement is puzzling. But
it will be noted that Rev. Mr. High
studiouslv avoids usins: the word
"temperance" in his statement, or in
any of his pronouncements. It mat
ters not what a congressional candi
date's personal character or reputa
tion may be, if he will vote to retain
prohibition, the league will support
him, according to Rev. Mr. High.
Tariffs, finance, world relations, re
habilitation, relief from bankruptcy,
farm relief all these sink into in
significance when compared with the
question of retaining a police regu
lation in the fundamental law.

A reader of the New York Sun
wrote to the editor the other day
inquiring how to get rid of cats
which gather nocturnally in his back
yard. Next day another reader wrote
to the reader suggesting that the
complainant strew his back yard with
catnip. "The results will be immed
iate and amazing," promises the au
thor of the suggestion. They will.
In case the catnip does not work,
the sufferer might also open a few-
cans of sardines and set them around
at convenient points in his yard. '-
SEEING THE UNDER SIDE
A young woman author of a movie
scenario of flaming title chose the
other day to go to jail instead of
paying a $50 traffic fine, saying she
wanted the experience" because it
"might help her with her writing."
The supposition that a person
must know the seamy side of things
by becoming party to its eordidness
in order to write dramatically is one
that deludes too many of those who
wish to spin stories for the world.
It may appeal in an altogether un
warranted degree to the novice who
feels himself inexperienced.
This is not to say there is not
merit in the kinds of writing which
help humanity to see "how the other
half lives," to sympathize with the
ui! fortunate, to understand the way
ward and even to comprehend the
warped reasoning of the criminal.
But to create Euch literature it is
not necessary to steal rides on
freight trains or consort with mem
bers of the underworld in their
speakeasy hangouts. One need not
ahandon himself in order to estab
lish touch with the abandoned.
First hand experience can be
gained in many ways. No writer of
liction could wish to know the men
tality of the itinerant worker or the
hobo better than eloes Mr. Whiting
Williams in his frequent excursions
as a social analyst into the ranks
of unskilled labor. Readers of the
Good Housekeeping magazine lately
have enjoyed the true-to-life quality
of Miss Lenora Mattingly Weber's
stories of "the simple annals of the
poor" as seen fcy a settlement worker,
much as an earlier decade enjoyed
"Mrs. Wigg? of the Cabbage Patch."
If one wishes to get close to- the
man whom society puts behind the
bars, there are other ways than by
getting one's self committed to jail
with him. A score of channels of
prison welfare work offer opportu
nity to talk with the prisoner, to
learn his yearnings and his short
comings, to follow him or. parole, to
hear the story of his youth or watch
nis efforts to win his way back.
These are to be commended to the
young writer who would learn some
thing of the world and of service.
:o:
THE WILD DUCK PROBLEM
Next fall will apparently be an
other season cf restricted duck shoot
ing opportunity, although the re
strictions cf last fall may be consid
erably liberalized. Few rportsmen
appearing before the federal advisory
board on migratory fowl regulations
are asking for complete return of the
status quo ante the great drouth of
1931. They believe, however, that
conditions warrant a longer open sea
son than the CO-day limitation of a
year ago. Tleas for a D 0-day sea
son are accompanied by suggestions
for re-t day periods during the sea
ron, when no shooting would be al
loved.
The drastic limitation of last year
followed a survey of duck breeding
grounds in the north which disclosed
that drouth bad greatly reduced the
area and prevented a normal hatch
of young ducks. That condition ap
parently does not prevail this year.
Rains have been plentiful and the
marshes have again been filled up.
Nevertheless the wild duck is still
greatly in need of protection.
The advance of civilization into
areas which he once possessed unmo
lested except for nature's predators,
the reclamation of swamp lands for
agriculture, have slowed down his
rate of increase on the one hand. On
the other he faces an ever increasing
battery of guns on his flight south
and the death rate grows.
Sportsmen are between the horns
of a real dilemma in attempting to
deal with the problem. They want
to have their cake and eat it too.
Each is loath to give up any of his
own shooting privileges and so most
of the proposals made are aimed at
protecting the prosperer but making
it hard for somebody else. Ameri
can males have been pretty well
sold on the idea that duck hunting
is a nifty sport. The number of guns
on lake and stream increases every
year. The conservation problem will
not be solved until sportsmen gen
erally come to realize that every
body, including the expert old-tim
ers, w ill have to get along with few- j
cr ducks. World-Herald.
:o:
The promptness with which Presi
dent Hoover replied to Governor
Roosevelt's suggestion of a confer
ence on the St. Lawrence power pro
ject leads us to suspect that some
body has slipped in and tipped the
Presidnt off concerning the nomin
ation the Republican convention
made at Chicago. Although he has
not been notified, he acted very
much to U3 like a man who was in
full possession of the news. Some
body has spilled the beans before
the official notification, and practi
cally spoiled everything.

MORE THAN PROTEST
FROM SHORN LAMBS
During the laFt few months dis
appointed holders of bonds and de
bentures of the rpectacular Krcu
ger k. Toll and International Match
companies, of various deflated Flor
ida communities, of many South Am
erican governments, and of many
other boom and propaganda spawned
profiteering enterprises:, have formed
associations and are prepared, not
only to defend their rights, but, when
necoxr.ry, to press fsr retributive
measures.
Protective associations of bond
holders are no new tiling in Amer
ican business experience, but today
they have a more than ordinary im-
, porta nt meaning. They are not niere-
ly wreckage floating on the financial
i ea marking the scene of a eatas
ircphe, and they are certainly some
thing more than jut organizations
of "poor losers" ard "squawkers."
as there has been a tendency in some
quaiters to name them. In reality
they are symptoms of healthy con
valence after the fever and collapse
of the boom.
The increasing numbers and the
determined activity of those associa
tions are signs that the dormant
spirit of self-respect and self-confidence
among investors has been rous
ed by the jolt of the depression into
intelligent and resentful conscious
ness. And. if one looks back at the
years of the golden twenties which
were deemed by most to be merely
the dawn and prelude to a new era
and possibly the milennium, it is
plain how necessary some sort of an
awakening jolt was. A former small
town banker, writing frankly in the
July Forum of those halcyon bond
jobbing days, recalls the investment
orgy as follows:
"So well had the work of the ex
pert salesman been done that the
mere statement that his bonds were
"listed" was sufficient guarantee
that they were good. For a pros
pective customer to ask how they
might be secured, even though listed
was merely evidence of ignorance
and unworthy of discussion or reply
Even the local banker hesitated to
expose his unfamiliarity with the in
side workings of high finance to
raise a doubt of the sac-redness of any
security that bore the hallmark of
the New York Stock Exchange."
There is no doubt that most of the
security buying of that period was
done with just the blind optimism
and confidence that this ex-banke
describes. It was not investment at
all in any sane sense; it was a cock
eyed kind of gambling in which the
savings and credit resources of the
country were sqnandered by a gen
eration which was ignorant and
reckless of what it was doing.
The recovery from this mania was
bound to be painful, and were the
blind and misguided victims content
to accept their losses with a fatalistic
shrug, it would be futile and stupid
as well. But they are not content,
and the energy and intelligence with
which they are going about the busi
ness of protecting their interests and
investigation their situation may
mark the begining of a new and bet
ter day in American finance. For,
if we are not mistaken, this move
ment is not a mere protest of shorn
Iambs against the shearers, but a
declaration that from now on the
bonel and investment houses have to
do with an alert public which will
insist that its confidence and its in
telligence be net abused. Detroit

On account of economic pressure.
the government has reduced its
standing reward of $50 for the re
turn of an army deserter to 525. This
enables the private citizen who
wouldn't turn up a deserter for a
thousand to revise his standards,
and anr.ounca that he wouldn't turn
one up now for $500.
