ROOSEVELT FOR ROOSEVELT

The attempt to invoke the memory of
Theodore Roosevelt to aid the campaign of
Hoover rouses bit of indignation in the
breasts of all those who believed in and
followed the illustrious Teddy in his bat
ties against the "Malefactors' of great
wealth and his crusades in the interests
of all of the people.
The spectacle of the republican cam
paign managers inducing Mrs. Theodore
Roosevelt to endorse their ticket was not
nice one.
During the lifetime of Theodore
Roosevelt Mrs. Roosevelt did not mix in
politics and she was probably impressed in
the present campaign.
Col. Theodore Roosevelt, the Cover
nor-General of the Philippines, has never
begun to fill the shoes of his father.
Were Theodore Roosevelt alive today,
he would be one of the sturdiest supporters
Of his namesake, Franklin D. Roosevelt, for
the simple reason that Governor Roosevelt
today stands for the same things for which
Teddy fought twenty years ago.
The fact that Senator Johnson, the
running-mate of Teddy" in 1912, is today
supporting the democratic ticket and that
the old guard of the republican organiza-
ton, which Teddy" fought until the end,
is practically the sole support of the Hoo
yer candidacy, is eloquent testimony to this
belief.
And practically every veteran progress
Siya Of the Roosevelt dayS is today onnosed
to the, administration.

KISMET

Folks with a philosophical turn of
mind who believe in the idea that every
cloud has silver lining are managing TO
get quite lot of comfort out of their re-
Elections
The existing depression has taught us
a lot of things.
The whole world was travelling along
at rate of speed which was not to its BEST
interest
People were as rule so intent on the
pusuit of wealth that many things of
greater Importance were being lost in the
confusion. We were losing the faculty of
enjoying the things which our great Creator
intended US to enjoy. We were forgetting
love and friendship, the beauties and won
ders of nature, the cultivation and i'm
provement of our own intellectual selves.
Selfishness was being developed t. a ire
mendous extent
The troubles we have been experience
ing have put the brakes on much of this
speed, have slowed up the hectic scramble
and given us chance to realize that there
are things more important to us than the
mere pursuit of wealth. The loss of mere
dollars is not irreparable.
The loss Of love, friendship and the
ability to appreciate the beauty of our
existence would have been more serious
loss.
The lost dollars can be retrieved, but
the loss of our better natures would. have
been catastrophe.
Perhaps we are being punished just
little bit for our worship of the golden calf

THE STRAW VOTES

Straw votes everywhere seem to in
dictate little change in the expected result
of the coming election.
Reports printed in the newspapers
seemingly indicate gains by President Hoo
yer, but when these reports are read care
fully and analysed, they are found to have
their origin in campaign headquarters and
not in actual campaign developments.
For long time, the reports from
headquarters were in regard to the re-
sumption of work by manufacturing plants,
the resumption of business, the advance OF
the stock market and other bits of optimis-
tic news.
Business did not improve. more work
ers were not employed and the stock mar
ket did not experience bull movement
So the straw votes are being used for
publicity purposes
1t is rather amusing to read in the reg
ular republican newspapers reports OF
straw votes which are headed. Hoover
leads in Bradford, Pa and then perusal
of the report shows that the lead is two
votes in republican stronghold.
The other places polled show a strong
anti-Hoover sentiment
All the stand-pat leaders predict VIC
tory. but they refrain from giving stats
ties.

TODAY'S HOROSCOPE

Intensity. enthusiasm, and non

restless, always trying new expert

without design. It must be said,
however. that some of these

good results, although. as a rule,
the native is apt to waste energy
on strife or on incohgsquential

Such a promise as that of President
Hoover to save 81, 100000 by cutting
down government expenses is one of the
most absurd promises made by him. The
Votersswill ask why this saving was not
made last year or the year before, if such a
saving is possible President Hoover plays
with fire when ne makes such promises.

By hited Press
HOUSTON, Tex, Dec. 2.-Clergy-
men, editors and diSmayed parents
were asked today to aid the Harris
county grand jury in its campaign
against exposed immoral conduct
among high school boys and girls
here.
Leaders of Protestant. Catholic
and Jewish faiths were summoned
to appear before the inquisitorial
body, said Assistant District At
torney Frank Williford.
They will be asked to give every
assistance in the drive against juve-
nile vice, Williford said. Editors of
the three daily newspapers already
have appeared before the jury and
pledged their aid.
After the clergymen have ap-
peared, the grand jury will turn its
attention to illegal operations re-
ported to have been performed by
a nurse upon at least two girls of
high school age.
One youth already has been in
dicted for maintaining a brotheI
for youths.
The jury had before it statements
signed by two high school girls.
both of whom admitted undergoing
illegal operations at the hands of
the nurse.
