HOOVER THE COUNTRY's BET

Senator Arthur Capper in "Capper's Weekly')
It seems to be true commentary history in
general that the peoples of most nations have usual
ly been slow to recognize great leaders in the times
of crisis that brought them forth. In short
history, we know that Lincoln, much criticised and
Inundated, believed he could not be elected to a
second term, although he was reelected. Cleve-
land scandalously abused even by his own party.
Roosevelt received more recognition while in office
that most Presidents, but probably not appre-
ciated at his true worth during his lifetime And
it still is disputed whether Woodrow Wilson will or
will not be classed great President.
In the White House at the present time, the
country has a man who is not spectacular Presi-
dent. President Hoover, know him, is too
honest to be grandstander. He has courage and
backbone plus. His knowledge Of world AFFAIRS of
our own affairs, probably is surpassed by other
American. But he doesn't show off. He does not
burn any red fire. He doesn't put any sort of
show, stunt. He simply works at his job just as
we work at ours only longer and harder than most
of and lets it go at that Party politicians have
always complained that Hoover never has tried to
sell" himself to the country. They want him to
dramatize himself, as they call it, do some posing
before the public once in awhile, pretty
good Presidents have done to show us they were
Presidents and get hand when perhaps they needed
it.
Not so with Hoover.

South Dakota to Make Lakes Out

South Dakota has started q
movement to convert breadlines in
to lakes for the benefit of agricul-
ture, wildfowl and recreation thru
the use of funds of the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation, accord
ing to plans announced by the
American Game Association here
today. Governor Warren E. Green,
the South Dakota Game and Fish
Commission, and the Governors
Relief Committee are searching
out development projects in connec-
ton with the game commissions

can be started at once.
Exclusive of the cost of land, 1t
is estimated that approximately 80
per cent of the entire cost Of the
projects Of this nature represents
labor and 10 per cent material"
the game commission reported to
Governor Green. "Since no skilled
labor is required and in view Of
the further fact that much Of the
work can be performed with horse
power and ordinary farm equip
ment, it places the relief offered
within the reach of ALL" The Re

it will apply to the Reconstruction

funds to build the projects at once,

BURNING UP FARM PROSPERITY

The farmer is one Of the worst sufferers
from fire.
1t is estimated that the farm fire waste
totals $100,000,000 year, and in rural COM
munities of $500 or less reaches 100000
OOO More important than that, farm fires
take $500 irreplaceable lives.
The magnitude of. the 100000, 900 loss
is difficult to visualize. It would build So
900 homes costing $4,000 each enough to
house 100000 people. These structures,
standing end to end, would form wall 400
miles in length. The replacement of these
buildings requires 100000 acres of forest
each year.
Farm fires are luxury we cannot af-
ford That hundred-million dollar waste is

POLITICAL HYPOCRISY DEFEATED

The overwhelming defeat of Senator
Brookhart by the citizenry of Iowa in June,
when he sought the denomination as the Re-
publican candidate for United States Senator,
was something of a jolt to the Progressive
wing of the House of Lords.
For forty years the people of Wisconsin
have been under the LaFollette dynasty.
They have been ruled with an iron hand. Two
years ago young Phil LaFollette was elevated
to the Governorship, while Young Bob was
serving in the U. S. Senate.
Cocky over his election Baby Phips slo-
gan was too soak the rich"
State expenditures have increased in the
Badger state by leaps and bounds as the ex-
travagances of the young mans administra-
ton mounted.
An indication that the citizens of Wis
conSin were firing of the LaFollette regime
was quite apparent when the conservatives
some months ago defeated the LaFollette
candidates for delegates to the National Re-
publican convention.
United States Senator Blaine, a member
and favorite child of the LaFollette dynasty,
was a candidate for denomination. He was
opposed by 32-year-old newspaper man
from Superior. Senator Norris, of Nebras-
Nd, Lue VI pure, VIII CSu Vic
Democratic candidate for President four
years ago. and who is about to make ma
ton wide appeal for the Democratic candi-
date this year, was rushed into Wisconsin to
appeal to the citizens to retain Senator
Blaine, who had betrayed the dairy farmers
of the Northwest, beneftting the paper man
ufacturers of his state when he opposed and
defeated the tariff on casein when the tariff
bill was up for consideration the first year of
MIR. Hoovers administration.
In spite of the faact that Senator Norris
has recently and voluminiousiy set forth in a
magazine article "Why am Better Repub-
ican than Hoover" he failed to save his
friend Blaine.
LaFollete was defeated by approximate
ly 100000 votes. Only one member of the
LaFollete slate was saved, the candidate for
secretary of state.
Senator Blaine was defeated by trifle
less than 10000 votes.
predatory Interests" are responsible
for the defeat of Brookhart, Blaine and La
Toilette, is the war cry, and each is planning
on running as an Independent" in the No
vember election.
The suggestion of this plan is an insult
to the intelligence of the citizens of Iowa and
Wisconsin.
Can't this bunch of political hyprocrits
realize that the people have tired of their
official misrepresentation?
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1932-09-29

an influence opposed to agricultural prosper
ity goes without saying. Worst of all, at
least 80 per cent of that waste $50, 900, 900
and $500 ives-is entirely unnecessary.
The solution is unremitting care, plus de-
velopment of frst-class rural fre-fghting
units capable of combating farm fire hazards.
1t won't be long now until Fire Prevention
Week-and the American farmer should be
one of the most attentive students" of the
fire problem during that time.

THE COST OF MOTOR ACCIDENTS

According to B. C. Willis, Vice-president
of the Fireman's Fund Indemnity company,
the annual economic loss due to automobile
accidents is about $2,5O0,000,0O0. Some real
ization of the magnitude of the waste can
be obtained by the knowledge that public
school education in the entire country costs
only $2,200,000, 900 annually.
Practically all of the two-and-a-half bill
lion loss is due to three factors-ignorance
carlessness or incompetence. There is no
other major cause of automobile accidents
The unavoidable accident is rare indeed.
The PERCENTAGE of accidents due to mechan-
ical failure of the car in swaziland in the
bulk of these the fault lies with the owner
who has not kept his machine in proper con-
dition. The human factor is present in every
conceivable mishap.
Most of us have insufficient understand
ing of the destructive force of moving au-
tomobile. A car going so miles an hour has
the same potential force as if it were dropped
from height of 101 feet. At 40 miles an
hour the car will travel 20 feet before the
average driver is able to react to danger, and
it then takes 80 feet with four-wheel brakes
to stnn or total of 100 feet.
Las. LAST wear ignorance, earelessness or in
competence at the Wheel killed S4,4OO people
and injured almost 100000. During 1882
these factors will be responsible for another
$4,000 deaths-unless every motorist awak-
ems to his responsibility and does his part to
reduce the CHASTITY toll.

THE LIMIT IN BUNC
Winfield (Kan.) Courier

Winfield (Kan0 Courier
The Democrats going to make great ap-
peal to the common in this campaign. Roosevelt
has emphasized his partys alleged interest in the
man who has suffered from losses during the de-
preston and in vague phrase has promised aid.
Isn't it strange that the Democrats choose
their standard bearer a man born in the purple?
Franklin Roosevelt Is a millionaire. He inherited
his wealth from his father who vice president
of the Delaware & Ohio railroad. He born
great estate and lives on it now. He has another
home in New York.
Jack Garner is also rated a millionaire. He
started without wealth but is the holder of q
large fortune The fact that both rich men isn't
anything against either of the Democratic candi-
dates But the word put out that Roosevelt under
stands the troubles of the common man better than
Herbert Hoover and that he symathizes more truly
with him. is political bunc and nothing else. Roose
welt never has known during his long life what it
to have want, much less need for which the means
not available. Hoover, selfsupporting from his
youth up, knows ali about hardship from personal
experience. He not only knows what it to
be poor but he has shown his sympathy for those in
distress without parading it political asset.
There is going to be bunc aplenty put out in this
campaign. It win deceive many But the Roose-
welt boomers can hardly hope to get away with such
evident hoey as millionaire Roosevelt's champion
ship of the forgotten man.

League Chapters, American Legion
Posts and field men of the Ameri-
can Game Association are assist
ing the water restoration cam
paigns of both states.
The unprecedented drought of
the last three years has reduced
both surface and underground
water in these states to a danger
Gus extent. Experiments have
shown that creation of new water
surfaces and restoring old lakes
raises the underground water ia
bles, so necessary to agriculture.
Lakes will be converted into nuclei
for nesting grounds for wildfowl,
Fish are to be planted and a gener-
al plan for healthful recreation is
to be carried out, game commission
ers of these states said.
Game Protectors to Restore All
Wanted Wildlife
There is a transition from mere
conservation to actual restoration
of desirable wild life making itself
more evident daily, according to
bulletin issued by the American
Game Association here today. The
old political fence-building game
warden is being replaced by game
and fish protectors. Today, the
Protector is planting bird foods in
the fence corners of the farmers
instead OF strengthening the boss
political fence with him.
Connecticut, one of the pioneer
states in game and fish conserva-
ton, has changed the title of its
forces from warden to Fish and
Game Protectors And their duties
have been enlarged.
Adoption of the title Fish and
Game Protectors is prompted by
the change in duties Of these offic-
ers," Commissioner Charles F.
Griffin, of the Connecticut State
Board of Fisheries and Game, said.
"tormerly their activities were con-
fined principally to fish and game
law enforcement. Now they are
devoting much of their time also to
control of predatory species which
prey upon beneficial insectivorous
and song birds and other wild life
as we'll as protecting natural re-
sources of the state in which the
public generally is interested. Thew
now engage in water pollution in
spection, planting Of food for birds,
distribution of fish and game and
many other duties They are no
longer solely game wardens in the
sense that they are concerned only
with game or with law enforce
ment."
Several of the other states have
succeeded in reducing politics to
the irreducible minimum in their
fish and game departments by hav-
ing them under the control of non
partisan boards or commissions
composed Of non.salaried sports
men; other states are attempting
to do so.
In a number of states game and
fish officers are now being selected
by open competitive examination.
and Their retention in the service is
entirely dependent upon demon
strated efficiency. This eliminates
much destructive political horse
play.
1t has been the experience time
and again Of many states to lose
good game and fish executives be-
cause they happened to be on the
wrong side Of the political fence
Of an incoming governor, officials
OF the Association point out.
