A RTHUR CALLAHAN expresses
n the opinion that ex-service
men should start a movement TO
reduce the number of working
wives, the vacancies to be filled by
men. Truly, most working wives
use their salaries to help out the
family budget, but many women
are doing interesting Office work
who feel that the cooking and
cleaning and laundry work in the
home can be done by another
woman, who can do this type of
work and who needs the money.
The Times, in an editorial Oct
II, says the desire of some women
to work outside the home is due to
a slow growth in women, desire
to develop and exercise latent pow
ers. a desire to participate in the
real struggle of today, and that
this tide will run strongly for gen.
erations.
Are not Mrs. Franklin D. Roose-
welt and Mrs. Garner women Of this
type? I dare say that if their hus-
bands are elected they reluctantly
will relinquish their positions in
school and office.

II SUBMIT that the very first
IL thing Franklin D. Roosevelt
ought to do after he has been elect
ed and answered congratulatory
kilograms and letters is to bring
action for SANDER against Nick
Longworth's widow to recover dam
ages from her for circulating the
report that she is related to him.
AS to Henry Ford, great sue
cess as long as he confines himself
to automobiles, but a pitiable fail
ure when he dips his fingers into
anything else, it might not be amiss
for Roosevelt to make to him right
away suggestion similar to that
made by the author of the letters
of Junius to Davy Garrick, the Eng
lish actor when he left the stage
in fruitless endeavor to discover
the identity of the author, viz: that
he stick to his billboards.

Remember his back to the farm"
theory? And now we have his vote
for Hoover" order.
This order comes from a city
where the condition of employment
and suffering is deplorable. This
order is typical of the complete ig-
norance of world affairs that this
man has shown ever since he came
into prominence.
AS a help in world crises, he has
proved himself a good automobile
manufacturer, Just because he had
an idea several years ago that
turned out to be good, he still thinks
he should be listened to.
Well, he will be listened to and
the voters of this great country will
profit by his advice in the past and
do the opposite. I. l.. b.
P. S.-Four years ago we elected
Hoover because we thought he
would do the best he could. He
has. That's the trouble.

TT is regrettable to think that in
il this day of education and civil
ization we can't have political
campaign without the old and ever
malicious display of religious
bigotry. Lies, at least century old,
are brought out, busted, and
polished off, and placed on the
propaganda market as brand-new
and important facts.
Opposing factions will accuse the
same candidate of being playmate
of d, C. Stephenson and an
emissary of the Pope.
Why should any man be either
denounced or approved because oil
his religious belief?
To probe the pettiness of mans
soul you have only to appeal to his
religious prejudices. Ignorance and
intolerance are as inseparable as the
Siamese twins. A READER
