Y. w. C. A. MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
Opened Sunday and VIII Continue
Until Saturday, October the 29th

The Statewide membership and
finance drive of the district Y. w.
C. A. opened October 10 and will
close October 90. Renewed inter
est in the activities of the Y. W.
C. A. is felt throughout the State
as the Girl Reserves and Business
Girls clubs plan their work for the
winter. In every center the clubs
are large with new girls joining
every week. The Importance of
the work of the Y. w. C. A. among
girls and young women cannot be
over estimated. The question may
arise-Are we financially able to
provide recreation and character
building programs in times like
these? 1t is a significant fact that
commercial recreation continues to
flourish at this time and there is
a marked general interest in leisure
time pursuits. 1t is true also that
the demands for emergency relief
are not so great that we must
abandon all provisions for health,
education and the recreation and
character building programs. The
Y. w. G. A. brings to your COM
munity recreation and character
building programs to all classes
through the Girl Reserves and
Business Girls clubs. DR.. George

CAMPAIGN
CLosE-UPs
BY Donald Morgan

Last weeks only political explosion
OF any magnitude Yves touched off in
Columbus, Ohio, by Patrick Hurley,
the presidents volatile Secretary of
War. Acting in good campaigning
tradition, Secretary Hurley directed
the force of his bombshell at the
Democrats program and candidate.
The eist of his remarks: that rs per-
cent OF the policies outlined in the
Demos platform were those President
Hoover has recently been following,
that the remaining Is percent were
visionary, impractical, demagoguish.
Turning to the Democratic NUM-
tions works, although outward signs
OF activity were few activity within its
walls was intense. The managers
scurried to and fro from place to
place, trying to bring unity and har-

mony into the ranks ns the workers,
so that the party OF Jefferson and
Jackson will maintain strong trent
in the coming assault. From confer
ence to conference went the boss /,
Franklin D. Roosevelt. his campaign
manager, Jim" Farley, and his per-
sonal advisor, Louis Howe. Among
these consulted were Col. Edward
House. close friend Of Woodrow Will
son and owen d. Young. who advised
the new candidate on international
problems. The Democrats big prob
lem is one of strategy-what Is the
most effective campaign explosive and
how may 1t best be used?
Another nut, always tough but In
this depression year tougher than ever,
which the inner circles Of both major
parties must crack Is this question OF
securing campaign funds. Msny Of
the heaviest contributors to the 1928
campaign are this year, like Mr.
Samuel insult of Chicago, completely
bankrupt. Others are able to keep
going only by practicing the most
rigid economy.
And the party leaders are well aware

Of the presidency.
Thai out Of the four or five million
which each party will devote to It's
campaign this year about quarter Of
the Whole, or more than q million
dollars will go for radio facilities
seems interesting and, we think, sig
nificant. That expenditure Is inter-
esting when one recalls that in the
campaign Of only 10 years ago scarce
ly penny Of party funds went for
broadcasting of speeches. It is sig
nificant because 1t indicates the ire
mendously important place which
radio communication has come to &C.
cupy and will in the future occupy in
the political life of the nation.
Here in, radio we have what is
probably the greatest contribution to
democratic government since the de-
velopment Of the press. Here is a
medium by which 40 odd million
voters the country over can sit in
their homes and heai The problems Of
government discussed intelligently and
fearlessly by leaders of both sides, in
deed, OF every side, and can, thus in
formed, make up their own minds and
WELD more enlightened ballot In
certain sense, then, radio is a better
aid to democracy even than the daily
press; whereas, many consider the
newspapers over-biased, flayoring even
their news columns with editorial
policy, no disl-twister can say the
same Of radio-it has 40 editorial
policy. Every party, even to the
| pink" Socialists, has this freedom of
the either" If not always of the press.
Certainly the nonpartisianship, the
impartiality, practiced by which such
radio commentators as William Hard,
David Lawrence, and Frederick Will
liam Wilde, is wonder to behold!
May your "colyumist" ever follow their
example! And may our readers, those
of them at least who plan to solve
the country's ills by voting next No
vember 9th, follow the campaign the
radio wayl Well try to keep you

are realizing that they, too, must cut
down. The chief reason which Gov
ernor Roosevelt advanced In defense
Of his breach of precedent in flying to
Chicago to accept the nomination at
the convention was that by so doing
he was saving the party the $4,000
entailed in the traditional acceptance
proceedings. Similarly, the Republic

Bates said, however. that "the seed

ding of young offenders, and, after two
years study by the Department Of JUS
tice, Attorney General Mitchell issued
the instructions last July.
Since the new program was put in
the number Of boys in the National
Training School here has decreased
from 438 to 294 Recently two lads,
10 and IL, were arrested and Jailed for
Federal authorities in North Carolina
for stealing trifies from the Federal
gamekeeperS boat. Informed of it,
Bates telephoned authorities and the
boys were released Immediately to be
tried under juvenile jurisdiction.
A few days ago a Washington boy
stole car and drove to South Caro-
lima. Arrested he pleaded guilty. Al
lowed to come home on bail, he was
waiting to go back to South Carolina

heard about this, informed Bates, and
they arranged to have the case handled
