COMING BACK
TO THE PEOPLE
Continued from Page -
Look to Government.

In hard times, said the speaker,
people instinctively turn to the gov
eminent to see what it can do. The
platforms of the various parties are
searched with anxious eyes more so
than other times. The Democratic
party has a constructive program for
improvement and all should read the
platform.
The buying power of the people is
greatly reduced now and even people
who do not expect to pay have stopped
buying, said the speaker humorously.
The tax burden is too heavy for the
average man and there is not enough
income. The Democrats have set out
to lower the cost of the federal gov
eminent one-fourth. But when cut
ting the cost CT government good
judgment must be exercised, declared
Mrs. Owen. There must be adequate
defense for the country. The United
States must not be an migrate but
must care for its eX-service men, and
there must be protection for children.
Useless bureaus and commissions and
duplication of effort must be elimi-
mated.
A few years ago, said the speaker.
a New England woman wrote and
asked the president for one of those
extra bureaus, stating that she could
make use of one in her home. The
president replied that he did not have
tn of hn huf hoI
Oil-stained cabinet that he would like
to get rid of.
Too Much Greed in Tariff.
Turning to the tariff question, Mrs.
Owen said that since the enactment
of the Hawley-Smoot tariff law more
than 40 countries have raised trade
barriers. The Democrats propose to
call together an international eco
nomic conference to thresh out this
matter. The tariff should not stand
for eXtOrtiOn and greed but should be
placed at a level where the trade of
the world can grow. This cannot be
done over night, but the immediate
help which the country needs will be
through necessary public works such
as flood control.
Governor Roosevelt has said that
this is one of the few great countries
without reforestation program, said
the speaker, and added that many
men can be put to work on it. The
wages must reach as many as possible
and therefore the shorter weeks will
have to prevail until normal condi-
lions have again been restored
Some lands are not suited for agri-
culture, and in the state of New York
where survey was made, the state
bought up some lands where farmers
had struggled for years, and it was
turned to forestry.
The tariff has gradually been raised
on industrial goods. The Democrats
would cut the rates on what the farm
er buys, said the speaker.
Recently, said Mrs. Owen, she had
the pleasure of hearing her fathers
voice over the radio, which was also
heard by three million other people.
1t was a photograph record of his
speech at the national Democratic
convention in 1896 in which he said
that the cities cannot get along with
out the farmers. A city could burn
and it would spring up again If the
farms remained, but grass would grow
on the city streets if there were no
farmers. The same holds true today,
said Mrs. Owen, grass is growing on
some city streets on account of the
farm situation. Millions have been

NAVY DAY is OCT. 81

Navy day will be observed as is
This day was chosen as Navy day in
1922 because it was the birthday of
Theodore Roosevelt, a great navy
champion. This year, the 2OOth ami
versary of the birthday of George
Washington, the U. S. Bicentennial
Commission will observe the celebra-
ton Of Navy day as a special occasion

More Hungry Than Thirsty.
The Eighteenth amendment was
written because of rebellion against
the saloon, said the speaker. Today
there is a new form of abuse, the
speakeasies and other places where
liquor Is secured under cover. Con-
gress does not repeal an amendment
but can refer 1t to the states where
two-thirds must pass it. The speaker
said she would rather have America
say what it wants to do in this re-
spect, but urged action so there will
be no return of the saloon. The gov
eminent must be responsive to the
will OF the people. One Republican
candidate said there must be a change
and another Republican candidate
said there must be no change. All
of which brings to mind the story
about the city which was about to
install waterworks system, said the
speaker. A certain candidate for Of
flee was straddling the fence on the
question and one citizen asked him
point blank: Are you for or are
you against the waterworks?" The
answer was: II am"
But, said Mrs. Owen, the wet and
dry question is not the paramount
one, for people are more hungry than
thirsty.
In the campaign of 1896 the none
tary question regarding silver was
up as it is again now. Her father
explained it to her then, but at the
age of II she was hardly old enough
to comprehend. He said there was
not enough gold in the world to sup
ply the needs at the time. Two years
later big supply Of gold was found,
but now there Is shortage of gold
again. The silver men Of the nine
ties were more than 30 years ahead
of their time according to some edi-
torial writer's today.
Speaking of war Mrs. Owen said
the irritant feelings in international
affairs must be taken away, and there
must be an enlightened foreign policy.
She approves of the world court.
Is Garner an experimental risk?
asked the speaker. and answered by
stating that he has been in Congress
for 30 years, sent back time and again
from his Texas district. He was pro-
noted to leader and then speaker of
the House. He is not an experiment.
he is statesman.
Government Back to People.
The forgotten man" declaration of
Roosevelt is being derided by Secre-
tary Mills, but this is no laughing
matter, said Mrs. Owen. Roosevelt
has remembered the forgotten man
with old age insurance carried into
effect in his state. Electricity has
been carried to many farms at rates
they can pay, and people in prisons
are turned out better than they go
in. A woman warden in one of the
prisons said that the prisoners vol
unteered to give their food one day
to the needy in the community. That
is the spirit of Roosevelt, said the
speaker, he is a man who stands for
ideals, and let us give the govern
ment of the United States back to the
people.
In urging the election of Roosevelt
and Garner to "get us out of the
hole", the speaker told a little story
about the man who in his will asked
to have his Ford car buried with
him. Some one asked him why, and

.NORTHBIRD HERE FROM SEATTLE VIA KETCHIKAN
Airplane, Completely Re- paired to Resume Com
 mercial Flying

Having undergone complete ov- erhaul and received extensive re- pairs in Seattle, the seaplane Northbird, owned by J. V. Hickey is at her Juneau base today ready to resume commercial flying ser- vice.
 The aircraft, with Chet Mclean and MT. Hickel, co-pilots, left Seattle yesterday morning and ar rived in Ketchikan yesterday af- ternoon. The plane, with MT. Hickey alone, flew from Ketchi- kan to Juneau today. MT Me- Lean remained at Ketchikan for a few days to assemble airplane equipment for shipment here.

TOO BAD FOR KIDS;
SCHOOL BURNS BUT
CLASSES CONTINUE
New School Will Be Ready For
Fall Term; Replaces Early
Type Structure

Time was, when schoolhouses burn
ed, that pupils got vacations. That
fact is back of the many prayerful
wishes of the past that "the old school
would burn before Monday morning."
But those days are gone-mostly.
Now when schoolhouse burns the
schoolboard members move in a port
able chicken house," the teacher
scurrles around to all the neighboring
teachers and borrows books and
things, and school goes right on day
or two after the fire just as though
nothlng happened. In fact, things
even get worse! The county superin-
tendent keeps coming along to see if
there is anything that school needs
oadly-then he stays and visits!
This new tradition was started out
in Redwood county last spring when
a fire of unknown origin made the
one-room schoolhouse in district No.
80, near Redwood Falls, heap of
ashes IN short time. Rather a pity,
TOO, because the school was sort of
landmark in that section, snce it was
one of the very few "octagon" school
houses built in Minnesota at the urge
OF architects of an earlier day. But
anyway it burned, with books, maps.
