ROOSEVELT PUT
ON The SPOT
BY jim REED
Statement of MiSSourian
Casts Shadows on Gov
ernor'S Hopes.
BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press Stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Sept. PA de-
tour for the Roosevelt band wagon
has been marked up in Missouri, in
the opinion OF national Democratic
circles here.
Announcement of former Senator
James A. Reed that he would con-
slider 1t a compliment" for the
Democrats of Missouri to indorse
him for the presidency again,
generally is accepted here as no
compliment TO the candidacy of
Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of
New York.
Reeds fighting qualities are
memorable in the senate chamber.
His former colleagues believe he has
had too many honors to look for
compliments now. They see some
thing more in his action.
Not Out of Race
The Missourian made a country
wide bid for the Democratic presi-
dental nomination in 1923 and lost
because the forces behind Alfred E.
Smith we're organized too strongly
and too early.
His friends do not expect him to
90 after the nomination again on
such scale, but they take his an
nouncement as meaning that he is
not to be counted out Of the race
at this date. They also believe
frankly Reeds statement means
Roosevelt is going to have trouble
getting Missouri
If Reed wants Missouri's conven-
ton votes as a compliment or other
wise, he can have them, according
to every one who knows the respect
in which he is held there by party
followers.
If he was able to get it against
Smith, he can get it against Roose-
welt easily, they say. There is some
doubt whether the Roosevelt work.

view of Reeds pronouncement.
Other Hints Are Made

come out of Ohio recently. The
friends of Governor George White
claim to have the state delegation
assured for him. If there is any
second choice, it will be Newton D.
Baker, the Cleveland attorney, who
is rated among the first three in
the present standing of Democratic
candidates along WITH Roosevelt
and Governor Ritchie of Maryland.
Whites supporters are reported
to have been at work also in West
Virginia, Kentucky and Indiana.
The more enthusiastic ones even
claim Roosevelt will not have a
chance to get 4hese three states.
With Reed active in Missouri,
White at work in the central states,
and Richie holding Maryland's
support, there is reason to believe
the nucleus of a scattered, but per-
haps potentially imposing, Roosevelt
opposition may be in the process of
formation.

This a political quc-tion and out

resolutions committee, but was lost
in the tumult that prevailed. A
mighty roar swept over the floor
1--WE want to vote! We want to
vote!"
The keynote speech of the "wets'
was delivered by Scott w. Lucas of
Havana, Ill, past national advocate
of the legion, while his factional
followers interrupted from time to
time with prolonged cheers.
"The eighteenth amendment has
been characterized as an expert
ment noble in motive, yet it has
proven to thousands and thousands
of American citizens in all walks of
life to be an experiment lamentable
and loathSome in many of its de-
tails" Lucas said.
Under this Characterization it is
assumed that what the author of
the phrase had in mind was the up
lifting of the morals of this country
as a result of the elimination of the
saloon and intoxicating liquor, yet,
after thirteen years of prohibition,
we find business men, professional
men, laboring men, men in high
counsel of politics, young boys and
girls openly and flagrantly violating
and defying this amendment. If
not in the letter at least in spirit.
Looking to Legion

alcohol, gang murders, armed auto
mobiles, high powered rifles and
stills by the thousands, all of which
were unknown before the eighteenth
amendment Lucas continued.
1.-The time is approaching when
decisive and definite action must be
taken. In my humble judgment
great mass or people are looking
to the American Legion to lead
them out of the pitiable morass of
legal, moral and economic compli-
cations which have arisen under
this amendment.
They want an opportunity to
exercise their right of franchise, and

THE LABOR MOVEMENT

The Labor Day holiday was orgi
nally established as a means of Sc
curing what were called the right!
of labor. 1t was created at a time
when the working masses toiled fol
long hours for low pay. The senti.
ment of the day had kind of mill
tant and fighting character, a sug-
gestion that the wage-earners had
MT had their fair share of benefits
and they must band together to OBJ
tain more.
Today the masses of the wage
earners make their best gains, not
by fighting their employers and the
rest of the community, but by CO.
operating with them. Advances in
wages that have no effect other than
to raise the prices of commodities
and add to cost of living, do not help
anyone much.
What is needed is to secure such
harmonious adjustment between
capital and labor, that working pro-
cesses can be improved, production
made less expensive, and prices of
commodities reduced.
The capitalist who says he is 60
ing to run his own business to suit
himself, is out of tune with the
times. He owes an obligation to his
workpeople and the community, and
he can not expect to prosper until
he recognizes that obligation. The
workers or the unions that attempt
to dictate policies without regard to
the effect which their acts have on
the community, are likewise out of
tune with the times. They are like
ly to find themselves supplanted by
others more reasonable.
Capital and labor should be inti-
mate friends. Instead of laying
plans to fight each other, they
should lay plans to improve the
of both elements. They

FOR LABOR DAY

1t is one of the great achieve
ments of America, that it has estab
lished the full dignity of labor. Will,
philosophers have always cherished
that idea, it is not universally ac.
cepted, and it was not at all genera.
previous to recent times.
In Europe today, people who en-
gage in trade or business or who
work with their hands, are looked
at with a certain condescension
People of social standing look down
on their associates who do such
kinds of work. American sentiment
has always said that that idea was
false, and that any useful labor is
creditable and ennobling. Other
countries have encouraged large
elements of people to live in idle
ness. America says that everyone
should work, and that even if peo-
pie inherit money, they will be hap
pier and more valued in the COM
munity if they fit themselves for
useful service, and carry on some
kind of effort
The Labor Day holiday voices this
sentiment, and says that everyone
should have his share of the tolls
of the community. If people have
all the money they need, there are
plenty of civic and philanthropic
causes into which they can throw
their energy.
This sentiment is so widespread,
that few young people come up to-
day, even in the homes of the
wealthy, without preparing to go
out in the world as workers. Idlers
are unhappy in these times.
Unfortunately considerable
number of boys and young men are
coming up, who have conceived the
idea that they can get money with
out work. By crooked tricks and
acts of violence, they think they can
beat the universal law of labor
Would that some voice to which
they would listen, some teacher or
preacher or good friend, would tell
them the true meaning of Labor
Day, that America has no rewards
Of happiness or welfare for those
who seek to dodge the responsible
les of toll.

COLLEGE DEGREES

Many thousands of young people
about now have just won college and
university degrees. They are en-
titled to be known as Bachelors of
Arts, or they have gone on to be-
come doctors or masters of this or
that. In former days the possession
of such a degree gave a person a
lofty distinction. The masses of
unlearned folks looked upon such a
person with veneration.
Today, young people seek college
degrees, not so much that they care
deeply for Latin, science, or mathe-
MATES, as because they think that
the holder of such a diploma earns
more money. Such degrees have be-
come common possession, so that
no one any longer bows in reverence
before their holders.
The reason why many business
men like to employ college gradu-
ates, is principally that these young
people have shown their ability to
make good and conform to fixed re-
quirements. 1t is not necessary to
spend four or more years in ad-
vanced study to prove that point.
Anyone can prove it in his own job.

LOOKING FOR A JOB

Many thousand of recent gradu-
ates from schools and colleges are
out looking for a job. They get
many rebuffs, but they come up
smiling. Nothing can beat their
spirit of determination. If push
and persistence will do it, they pro-
pose to make place for them
selves.
These young folks ask the ques-
tion as to how they can make the
best impression when they apply
for work. Probably the one thing
that they can say that will impress
a possible employer the most favor
ably, is that they are not afraid of
work, and they are willing to do
anything. The business men of
Milford anyway are shy of those
who expect to start three or four
rounds up on the ladder. They want
someone who is not too proud to be-
gin at the bottom.

'MA1IIA ALWAYS DID THAT"

A lady was reporting the other
day her experience with a young
woman whom she employed as
housemaid. This girl was very
helpless when asked to do any sim
pie thing that she had never done
before. If she was asked to perform
some simple task of cooking that
any housewife would understand,
her stereotyped reply was Mamma
always did that, 1 never tried it." AS
she had never done it before, she as
sumed that she could not do it, or
she was not interested to learn how.
One reason why older men and
women find it difficult to obtain
jobs, is that employers have con-
ceived the idea that they are too set
in their ways. They have always
done things in certain way, and it
is difficult to get them out of that
habit.
If the effort is made to teach them
some new way, or to induce them
to try out something different as an
experiment, then they want to argue
about it, until people become sick
of their reluctance, and become gem
orally prejudiced against elderly
persons as workers.
The majority of the young people
today seem rather adaptable and
willing to try out new things and
new ways of doing things. 1t is the
only way in which to make progress
in work or business. All our indus
tries and commercial processes are
changing, and the effort is being
made everywhere to eliminate su-
perfuous motions and unnecessary
costs. People who aren't willing to |
learn new things might as we'll quit |
here and now. The world will not
have much use for them.
There are some people who are
100 experimental, and who constant
~ mess things up by inability to
stick to a well established plan. But
n the main we need to carry the
Investigating spirit into all our
work, and always be trying to find
iome better ways of doing it.

CONSERVATION OF
OUR WATERFOWL
By The President of The United
States Of America, A Proclamation

The long-continued and severe
drought of the past two years has
inflicted not only economic hard
ships by seriously curtailing crop
and stock production, but also has
resulted in an emergency condition
as regards the present and future
safety and abundance of the water
fowl of the continent. In large areas
of the United States and Canada.
through lack of the water on breed
ing grounds essential to rearing the
young birds, the drought has entail
ed widespread destruction among
the former hOrdes of the, wild fowl
that migrate to our several states.
This devastation has constituted
so great menace to our wild-life
resources and to their future enjoy
ment by our people as to impel the
Secretary of Agriculture to adopt a
regulation compatible with the Mi
gratory Bird Treaty Act (4O Stat.
755), whereby during the coming
fall there will be an open hunting
season on these birds of only one
month.
NOW, THEREFORE,, I, HERBERT
HOOVER, President of the United
States of America, do hereby urge
that all persons take cognizance of
this emergency, and l call upon all
game and observation officials, State
an dlocal, all members of game-pro-
tective organizations, landowners,
sportsmen, and public-spirited citi-
zens generally to lend their cooper
alton to effect full observance of this
regulation, to the end that adequate |

APPRECIATES CAPT. VINYARD

The Milford Chronicle
Mr.. Editor:
The fact that Captain Wilson M
Vinyard, one of our highly respected
citizens, purchased the Mansion
House property of the Holland estate
speaks well both for his personal in
terest and for the future welfare OF
the City of Milford. Captain Vim
yard merits and, l am sure has, the
commendatiOn of all civic prosper
ity wishers both within our city linn
its and those for miles around.
Milford approaches an era of
splendid growth and municipal ac-
tivity, providing it arises to it's op-
portunity for improvements that
ought to be both wisely considered
and made. There. are the needs of
sewer extension, the bringing in of
gas, under the proper program and
management, the spanning our river
with proper bridges, and walling its
wharves within the city limits, as
well as other matters that every cit
izen who loves his home city should
thrill to see accomplished.
What shall Milford be five years
hence? The answer is this: Mil
ford will be five years hence just
what the lovers of Milford decide
it shall be. And it's improvements
will not impoverish a single individ-
ual. Indeed, each and every i'm
provement will add increased value
to every taxpayer herein and here
abouts.
Again, Mr. Editor, may 1 extend
my personal congratulations to Mil
ford in having as one of it's far
sighted and civic-interested citizens,
mean Captain Wilson M. Vinyard.
And may his likes increase every
day.
