Dear Elsie:
I'm not going to sign my
real name to this letter. I
wouldn't let any one know that
I had written it for worlds. But
simply MUST tell some one.

happy, and yet everyone thinks
I have everything to make me
happy. I have-in OUTSIDE

loving parents and plenty Of
money, so / do not have to
work. We're not rich, but I
can 60 nearly anywhere I want
to, and have anything I need.
Yet I am MISERABLE!
Envying Others
II watch other people and
envy them until I am simply
sick. Nearly all the people I
know seem so steady, and sure
of themselves. They always
want the same things and
think the same things. They
don't change from month to
month or year to year. They
never. seem to have any mis-
givings, or doubts, or fears, or
confuSionS.
But I never feel the same
two minutes in succession. Out
side I am a quiet, bashful,
rather nervous girl; and inside
am just BOILING. One min
ute I am happy, the next am
sad. I am kind and hateful.
brave and cowardly, good and
bad, all in the space of an
hour.
That isn't all. I have times
when I seem to be inhabited by
a MONSTER-when I think
sly, horrible thoughts; unclean
thoughts. And afterwards I
could kill myself, I hate my
self so.

Prohibitionss tell you that the claim Of more than

MIR. HOOVER is holding
" conferences. with politi-
cal strategists both i'll the
White House and at Rapi-
dan in the preparation of
his speech of acceptance.
One may assume from the
number and length of these
pow-wows that the nominee
is finding the task none too
easy.
Mr.. Roosevelt wrote a
great part, if not the whole,
Of his speech Of acceptance
while in flight to Chicago
with the plane combating
winds and storms and with
out conferences with politi-
clans.
But Roosevelt has nothing
to conceal. nothing to dis
simulate and his platform is
open, straightforward and,
whether right or wrong, is
honest; and Mr.. Hoover has
much to dissimulate because
of the rank dishonesty and
vagueness of his platform.

cratic leaders anywhere to
do anything so stupid.
The attempt in some quar-
ters to make it appear that
the fight this year is be-
tween the metropolitan CEN
ters of the East and the
agricultural sections of the
West and, South will deceive
no one. That sort of thing
is worn threadbare by the
realities.
Every thoughtful Ameri-
can now knows that one of
the reasons for the tragedy
which has fallen upon our
people is that our govern
mental policies have been
framed in the interest of one
element against another.
Everyone now realizes
that in a land of diversified
industries there can be no
permanent prosperity for
any element unless every
element prospers.
There is not a merchant
or legitimate banker who
does not understand now
that when we destroy the
purchasing power of thirty
million people on the farms
we destroy the selling power
of every merchant and
manufacturer in the East.
This is not the time to
try to array city against
country; or section against
section; for both city and
country and every section is
in the dumps today and
they all must be lifted out
together.

Happiness

Happiness
Perhaps the one you mar
ried has not come up to your
expectations.
You may have discovered
traits you did not know existed.
You expected the one you
married to make you entirely
happy and you expected too
much because happiness Is
never perfect.
You know that you yourself
have many unfavorable charac-
teristics, but you tried to keep
them hidden till after the knot
was tied, anyway.
Have you any reason for
thinking that you are any the
less a disappointment to the
person who took you as a com.

Elsie? Won't I ever know true.
deep peace? RITA"
Yes, there is a way Rita; and
the beginning of that way is to
realize that YOU ARE LIKE
OTHER PEOPLE RIGHT NOW!
We're all walking tenement
houses inhabited by scores Of
Selves, some beautiful, some
ridiculous. some weak, some hor"
rible. Sometimes these Selves
seem to live in harmony. Some
times they brawl indecently.
Their Inner Selves
Those steady, sure" people
you envy so are quite as much
beset with their inner selves as
you are. The "hardest-boiled"
male often feels like a fright
ened 6-year-old. The meekest
little female frequently harbors
impulses that would do justice
to a lady hyena.
OF course, you've read Steven
sons remarkable story Of DR..
Jeykll and Mr.. Hyde. We all
have Mr.. Hydes in our spirits
many of them. We're all swept
from one personality to another.
and from one mood to another
and much of what we are,
the world never dreams.
Get that fact in your mind
firmly. Remember it when
ever you start to envy some one
who seems calmer and stronger.
Then remember the reason for
that seeming calmness and
strength. What is that reason?
It's this:
Out of all the things these
people MIGHT HAVE BEEN,
they have selected one definite
thing which THEY INTEND
TO BE. They have decided to
be socially suave, induStrially
powerful, scholarly, efficient,
humorous, or dignified-what-
ever may appeal to them as
the ideal character: AND THEY
ARE KEEPING THAT ONE
GOAL IN SIGHT. They're
AIMING SOMEWHERE.
Doing the Driving
That's the difference between
such people and you, Rita.
You're waiting to be driven by
your inner impulses; they, on
the other hand, are doing the
driving.
Don't they have their mo-
ments of doubt, confusion and
rebellion? Of course they do!
OodleS of 'em! But they learn
to "ride herd" on them. They
corral them behind closed door
or smiling lips. A sweating
brown is also a great remedy
for an emotional rampage. AS
they continue to ride herd"
the prowling beasts within
them quiet down, as Gagged
beasts always quiet.
There's the whole secret Of
power and peace. Rita. Stop
saying that you're different"
It's a cowardly alibi, when you
once know the truth.
Start in to do to yourself
what every son or daughter of
Adam has had to do? It won't
be any harder for you than it
Is for everyone else? GET AN
AIM AND STICK TO 1T.
If you'll once do this, you'll
be so busy that you won't have
time to know whether you're
miserable or not.

This Campaign Is
To Be q Battle

A fight against Roosevelt
along that line would be
most unfortunate for those
responsible. For this cam
paign is to be a battle; and
a blow from this quarter
would mean a blow at that
quarter, and there are too
many battle axes to be
used against that quarter.
There are too many mil
lions in America today who
have lost everything, and
are in deep distress because
of the gluttony, greed, and
fraudulent element in high
finance and big business to
make it good strategy to
invite the people to rally to
its defense.
These are days when this
element must sing sweet and
low.
And there are too many
hundreds of thousands Of
business men throughout the
land who have suffered from
the same element.
And too many billions of
thoughtful men and women
who know that without a
new liberalism and the purg-
ing of business and govern
ment of the impurities that
have become so commonplace
in the last ten years the
nation is doomed.

South Will Go Solidly
For Roosevelt

One of the conferees at
the Rapidan Sunday confer
ence, a noted correspondent
for a leading Republican pa
per, reflects the evident
hope of Mr.. Hoover in his
article of Wednesday. He
is quite sure that the South
and West will rise in wrath
because Of the honest,
stra i ghtforward platform
declaration on the Eighteenth
Amendment and the Vol
stead act. There is not
much encouragement for
this fond hope in the over
whelming majority given the
repeal senatorial candidate
in North Carolina.
The South will 60 solidly
for Roosevelt-no doubt of
that.
And the border StateI will
60 for Roosevelt.
And there is every indi-
cation that the West will go
for Roosevelt.
Ohio and Indiana are GER
tain for him.
And the industrial East,
teeming with jobless men,
hungry children and mer-
chants on the ragged edge
of ruin, because of the stu
pid economic policies of the
Administration, will go for
Roosevelt-unless there is
treachery among Democratic
leaders in New York, New
Jersey and Massachusetts.
The kind of leaders in these
States are not the sort to
turn upon their party.
Under normal conditions
disaffection in the organiza-
tions in these States would
be disastrous to the party,
but we are not so sure, with
millions of people in actual
distress, that even disaffec-
tion> in the organizations
could deliver these States to
Mr.. Hoover.

Roosevelt is Friend
Of Honest Business.

And the attempt to be made
to make it appear that Roose-
welt would array the poor
against the rich will not
stand the wash. He is, not
a demagogue and never has
been one. He has no reason,
economic or social, for hos
tility to the well-to-do, since
he and his family have been
among them for generations.
Francis P. Garvan, the
head of the Chemical
Foundation, who favored an
other for the nomination,
has said all that need be
said in answer to this little
bit of Rapidan strategy
when he said:
governor Roosevelt will
be found, as his views on
economic questions are more
fully unfolded, not as a man
who would set the poor
against the rich, but a man
who stands for the honest
poor and the honest rich,
alike, against parasitical in
fluences that have been prey
ing on our economic struc-
ture and in a large measure
are responsible for the de-
preston under which thu
country is suffering at pres
ent."
Roosevelt is so much a
friend of honest business
that he wants to rid it of
the dishonest exploiting ele-
ment which tends to turn
millions of the undiscrimi-
mating against business in
general. That is the attitude
of the real conservative.

Campaign Goes On

While the country waits,
impatiently, for the Hoover
speech of acceptance now
being ground out, with the
aid of clever strategists
practiced in the art of
double-meanings, the. Roose-
welt campaign goes on. The,
hope of the Knights of Rapi-

leaders favoring other men
has already gone glimmering.
These leaders are not
going to write it into the

of service to their party

est opportunity in years to
do all within their power to
return to office the most
thoroughly discredited Ad-
