ROOSEVELT \ MAN OF VISION
AND FAITH.

Spokesman Review: Franklin y
Roosevelt's stand for enlarged recla.
nation. as voiced in his Spokane adj
dress Thursday night. reveals quick
and sound understanding of national
interest and western welfare.
| couldn't help but think as we
came down the river today (said
the democratic candidate for
vice president) Of the pity of all
that water running away to the
sea. 1t isn't a problem for
Washington and Idaho alone; It's
a problem for US in New York
and the whole nation-reclama-
ton. l didn't have TO come
out here to know the Columbia
basin project. = = Reclamation
is subject so huge that it's not
a million dollar a year PROPOSE
ton. We've got to put a hundred
million dollars into it for 10
years. What's that in budget
of four billions?
Reclamation, as Mr. Roosevelt 50
clearly sees, is d national, not a local
problem. The nation is richer
stronger and better in every way for
every historic action it has taken for
the development Of the west. The
nation has never made a bad invest
ment in the west. It was sound and
far-seeing craftsmanship for Jeffer-
son to send Lewis and Clark across
the continent TO the shores of the Pa
cific. It was sound craftsmanship
when Lincoln stood for the building
Of railroads to the Pacific. It was
craftsmanship when Seward bought
Alaska. It was craftsmanship, though
Of niggardly kind, when the gov
eminent entered in a restricted way
on a program Of retaining the arid
lands Of the west.
The time has come, as Mr. Roose-
Welt declares, when the government
at Washington should plan reclama-
ton on billion dollar scale-slOO.
100000 a year for the next ten
years, with plans to employ this great
revolving fund over and over again
until the last feasible project has
been constructed, down to the last
arid acre that can proftably be re-
claimed.

Now looms the presidential Shake-uu
With Harding and Cox in Zine"
The country hopes for a better
Makeup"
Whichever wins this time.
Both men are printers, II say,
And know their business to the
letter"
They'll "set" US "up" the proper way
And make the nations lay-out"
better.
Both candidates know all about
type
And use both modest "heads" and
"screechers;"
Which makes US think it is a try,
Each knows the [. s. taste N
features"
Neither party had the pluck
To stand for or against Mr.. Booze
It's probably good luck
Each stand behind "nose for
news
With a printer president. III say
The nation hopes to get the "proof'
Doing away with secret Jack-play.
And give the L. s. all the truth.
A printer president, I'll say
He knows lot about "pi;"
He will "clean up" the L. s a.
"Reset" US and make good "te."

Nearly everyone in the West seems
to he imbued with the necessity of
expanding millions of dollars for
reclamation-by bonding not only the
state but the nation; and yet a good
sized opposition has developed
against bonding for the good roads
project. The reclamation matter will
require tens of millions to the millions
asked for good roads, so that the
good roads proposition does not over
shadow the other in size. The
thought strikes US that perhaps if
some one drew a bill to spend fifty
or a hundred million for reclamation.
the cry Of thief would go up from
the crowd which is now working tooth
and nail for reclamation. Both are
needed. If we cannot agree on one
how can it be expected that we shall
agree upon the two projects? If one
is termed a steal, what will be sad
of the other?

DR.. ]. c. McCauley, of Ellensburg
who is candidate for nomination
for the state senate, is lifelong
enemy Of the saloon, but he realizes
that when, as physician, he has 70
violate the laws of the nation to Sc
cure whiskey to save the life of pa
ticnt, there is something radically
wrong. DR.. McCauley is one Of
thousands of physicians who feel the
same way about the matter, and
there is growing conviction that the
government must handle liquor in 4
limited way, supplying it when neces-
saiy. Heretofore objection has been
made to the government handling
whiskey. Is it worse for the govern
ment to handle it than to have SNUG
glors and moonshiners doing So
and making criminals of thousands
including high-minded physicians?

WEEKLY PROVISION
AND GRAIN REVIEW

Chicago, Feb. 21.-Notwithstand-
ing tenacity Of rural holders Of
gain, the corn mark-t this week
has relaxed somewhat from recent
high tension. The chief bearish in
fiuence was virtual stoppage of
European call for packing house
products, q circumstance closely re-
lated to the domestic feeding value
OF cereals. Compared with week
ago, corn quotations this morning
we're nc to 15sc lower, oats showed
setback Of lie to ENC, and provi-
SONS varied from unchanged fig
ures to 40c down.
It was not until leading packers
had expressed opinions that lower
prices for meats, lard and the like
appeared to be inevitable that the
corn market showed any signs Of
weakness. Previously, the evident
failure of all efforts to bring larger
supplies Of corn to the big centers
was the dominating factor. Later,
however, in addition to feeling the
effects Of depression in foreign
trade, the corn market was sensi-
tive to department of Justice re-
port about seizure Of foodstufYs.
Subsequent rallies were more than
O, ercome by Indications that the
government was taking measures

wheat preparatory to the approach
iLg end Of federal guarantees.
Oats descended with corn.

LEGION men
FAlleraas Members Enjoy Evening
and Lay Plans for Big Year In
Mercer Comfy.

Twenty-Five members of Faller-
ans post of the American legion
met last night in the post club
rooms. and made short work of the
sandwiches ''sinkers," coffee and
cigars. Plans for various forms
of entertainment during the year
were discussed and the report of
the housing committee was heard.
Through the courtesy of the Pet
erson restaurant, the former SOL
diers had all the cigars they cared
for and the eats were plentiful.
Phonograph music, cards and other
games were enjoyed by the men.
Harry Buckley, chairman of the
entertainment committee, gave the
first report of that body and many
stunts are planned for the
future, according to the COM
mittee. An announcement which
will interest everyone is that
la lyceum course will be given
next winter by one of the best
companies in the country. Faller-
ans post realizes the need of such
entertainment in Aledo and has
taken upon itself the responsibility
of furnishing the entertainment.
A booth At the Mercer County
fair in September is also planned
Besides the booth, the post will un-
doubtedly display it's collection OF
war relics, which the members
brought back from the war-torn
battlefield of Europe. This collec-
ton was shown at a recent supper
given by the men and excited much
favorable comment.
H. X. Whittier, chairman of the
housing committee, read his report
of the work OF that committee and
stated that a contractor had beer
sent to make an estimate on the
work Of remodeling the room ovel
the Wells & Carroll store and thai
the cost of the place would reach
$1,000. This includes a dance
floor which would be second tt
none in the city. Without a doub
the legion will secure this room
and business men of the city will
probably come forward with thu
necessary financial assistance. NJ
definite plans for a drive to secure
funds has been made, but will b,
formulated at a later meeting. TIL,
support Of the public is justly ex
pected and is deserved. Alread!
several prominent men Of the cit,
have made offers of such backing
as will be necessary.
