"The Demagogues Of
Special Interests"

The 100000 jobless men
and their thirty or forty
million dependents cannot
have failed to note the trend
of the Hoover campaign.
With the expressions of the
Cabinet of All the Deficien-
cies, and the tone Of the re-
dictionary press supporting
Mr.. Hoover, they cannot fail
to see that anyone who
manifests a human interest
in their welfare is a "dema-
gogue"; that any statesman
who proposes plans for the
betterment of the condition
Of the average man is "un-
sound"
With the use Of the black
jack Of intimidation for en-
ployes, and the methods of
terrorism for the weak
minded segment of the busi-
ness world, it is proposed
by those in power to con-
tinue the present special
privilege program and make
the people like it.
The only people in this
campaign who have resorted
to terrorism as a weapon
are "the demagogues of spe-
cial interests"
I hope everyone heard the
masterful address Of Jouett
Shouse over the radio the
other night; for among
other things he exposed the
utter hypocrisy of Mr..
Hoover's claim that he
wants to reduce the cost of
government, but has been
prevented by the Democratic
House.

A Desperate Piece
Of Demagogy

~ S@AAS6S S6J
And Senator Cutting says
further:
"This. country has all too
many demagogues for special
interests. We have few who
are willing to fight for the
rights Of the public.
Most of these "dema-
gogues" for special inter-
ests" are on the stump today
warning the people that any
public man standing for the
fundamental rights Of the
average man is a dangerous
demagogue.
The supreme act Of dema-
gogy in this campaign came
from Mr.. Hoover when he
concocted his amazing story
of how he, solitary and alone,
saved the gold standard when
we were within two weeks of
being forced off. Now that
it has been shown from the
records that the gold stand
ard never was in danger;
now that we know from the
record that at the very mo-
ment Mr.. Hoover was saving
the gold standard, Ogden
Mills told the Senate COM
mittee that we had all the
gold necessary to meet our
obligations; now that we
have it from the record that
at this very time Eugene
Meyer, governor of the Fed
eral Reserve System, told the
Senate committee there was
not the slightest danger Of
our being forced off the gold
standard-now that we know
the facts we are beginning to
know what demagogy is.
1t was a desperate piece Of
demagogy which drove the
market down in New York
and the dollar down in
Europe.
And there are people who
have concluded that any pub
lie man capable of gambling
with the financial fabric of
the nation for the sake Of
votes is a dangerous man to
have at the head Of the ma
tion in days like these.

THREE-MINUTE JOURNEYS
BY Temple Manning

One Of the most picturesque
and lovely districts Of France
is the Burgundy region. It is a
great favorite, accordingly, with
motorists. Next time you are
in Paris and have time to spare
make up a party and head
south for the hills Of beautiful
Burgundy, a section of great
historical Importance where
there is much to see and ad-
mire.
Avalon is the first really
important town reached by mo-
torists from Paris and is gen.
orally selected as their first
stop. The town is most inter-
esting on market days, and
then France can be seen at its
provincial best, with its SIM
pie peasant and farm folk far
removed from the gaiety and
lighthearted joy Of living that
we associate with the Gallo
makeup.
Avalon is full of wonder
fully preserved fifteenth cen.
tury houses and churches, their
creeper-clad walls giving an
impression Of beautiful mellow,
ness. On market days the mar
row streets and the square are
thrcnged with carts full of lus-
cious produce, for the soil Of
Burgundy Is rich and well

MIR. ROOSEVELT, COM
N1 menting on the politi-
cal complexion of the func-
tionaries Of government,
said that the Republicans
had every branch, including
the judicial-which is per-
fectly true. The Supreme
Court is Republican, due to
the fact that most members
have been appointed by Re-
publican Presidents.
Whereupon, a thoroughly
hysterical political opposi-
tion, hearing more and more
clearly the roaring of the
waters of the Niagara they
are approaching, declares,
with much shouting and
beating on, the tom-toms,
that Mr.. Roosevelt has at
tackled the Supreme Court.
Some gentleman is going
to tell Calvin Coolidge about
it. Oh dear! Oh dear!
So much for that.
The next week is to be
devoted by the Hoover
speakers to warning about
the dreadful things that will
happen if sevelt is
elected. Perhaps it is too
much to \expect a sense of
humor in men grown hys-
terical; but it is a bit try
ing to find these gentlemen
up to their necks in the
wreckage Of the Hoover
panic, which is "getting no

cannot have failed to notice
that under the ministrations
of the best minds in power
in the last twelve years
when we have been moving
in the direction of a fl
nancial oligarchy or plutoc-
racy, that any public man
who dares speak up for the
rights of the under-dog is
pounced upon savagely by

When a whole household must
be disrupted several times a
year in order that social af-
fairs may take place, the spirit
Of entertaining is lost.
When it is necessary to make

Glanclng over the head
lines, we read: "Mrs. Pratt

have not had chaos ever
since Mr.. Hoover went into
power. And Ogden Mills,
whose insufferable blunder-
ing on the deficit so post
oned the balancing of the
budget that for a moment
our credit fell throughout
the world, solemnly informs
us that he sees "the road to
ruin" if Roos is
elected! Soon we shall hear
from Mr.. Hoover that men
like Newton D. Baker, John
W. Davis, Bernard Baruch,
Owen D. Young, who are
supporting Roosevelt and
urging his election, are a
lot of dangerous "reds"
and radicals
But more important is the
announcement Of that dis
tinguished newspaper, the
Springfield Republican, that
it can no longer support Mr..
Hoover, and believes the best
interest of the country de-
mands the election of Mr..
Roosevelt. This conclusion
has been reached after both
candidates have given the
nation an exposition. of
their views. 1t says:
"Mr. Hoover has prac-
tically exhausted his Ca
pacity to serve the Repub-
lie effectively as its Presi-
dent" :.
And we have never heard
that this distinguished New
England newspaper, with a
glorious history behind it,
was ever suspected of being
partial to the radicals"
Senator Cutting Puts
It Bluntly
Quite as significant is the
speech just made by Sena-
tor Cutting Of New Mexico,
a Republican, urging Roose-
velt's election. He is a man
of means with a real flair
for public service, and he is
such a "demagogue" that
he has some interest in the
average man. Like a great
many others with a decent
respect for the average man
and his rights, Senator Cut
ting has grown weary over
the cheap clap-trap Of a
bone-headed Cabinet about
the "demagogy" of Mr..
Roosevelt. He puts it
bluntly:
1.-THE attack upon Gov
ernor Roosevelt for his de-
votiOn tc the forgotten
man is ridiculous. We have
reached a sorry stage in
public life if a political
leader who speaks for the
rank and file is to be brand
ed as q demagogue."

A "masterful man" is one

We wish to remark, making
our language plain, that
woman, in her hours Of ease
or otherwise, is never dull,
never a bore, never THE

NEVER see their faces.

girl, No. 2 in the row, Miss

wide and long with hinges so that they
might be opened up quite easily
Chintz-uphoIstered pads on top made
them useful as extra seats in each
room. In these window boxes all
blankets, comfortables, and quilts are
kept for each room-as well as clean
bed-spreads and the two or three clean
sheets and pillow cases assigned for
the room. These sheets are marked
with the initials of the one who oc-
cupies the room so that they are easily
sent to the room where they belong
after they have been washed and ironed.
Of course, winter blankets cannot be
kept in these seats in summer when
moth doth corrupt. Then they are
simply cleaned and laid away in a
cedar chest expressly set aside for
bedding in the attic.
If you have little room and still
want to have your bedding kept in the
rooms where it Is used you may use
low mating covered boxes on rollers
to go under each bed. These boxes
may be bought at small cost and are
neat and easily pulled out and pushed
