MIR. H DOVER and. his
W supporters are not so
impressive with their lurid
tales of the ruin of the coun-
try and the wrecking of
Hoover prosperity" in the
event of Roosevelt's s election
as some Democratic speakers
seem to think. If there is
anything more asinine and
absurd than the spectacle of
these purveyors Of doleful
messages, standing up to
their necks in the wreckage
and ruin of the Hoover adj
ministration, warning the
people that a Democratic VIC
tory will mean hard times,
we do not know it. No one
entering the country for the
first time, and utterly ig-
norant of the record of the
last four years, would sus-
pect from what the Hoover
ties are saying that the ma
tion has been reduced to
human misery for millions
and ruin for hundreds of
thousands under the Hoover
policies.
The stranger would natur-
ally assume that under Mr..
Hoover all men had work at
good wages; that business
men were prosperous; that
no banks had failed; that
trade was thriving: that
agriculture was making at
least reasonable profit, and
that suicide and soup had
played no part in the glad
some days of the Hoover
administration.
We who have been victims
of the Hoover policies may
surely be pardoned a smile
over the suggestion of the
spokesmen of the most dis
astrous and discredited Ad-
ministration in history that
the politicians, who were
stupid enough to lead us into
the deep valley of human
misery, are the only ones who
are wise enough to lead us
out.

LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson.

member when you, too, felt
like that, at II? Who said
that youth was the happiest
time? It wasn't for you, was
it?, It was a bitter, bewildered
time, seeing your young ideals
smashed, seeing ugliness take
the place of beauty, seeing sus-
picion take the place of friend
llness. How did people get
like that? Why was the world
like that? You couldn't un-
derStand.
And your ideas and impulses,
which had lain so straight and
clean inside. you, become tan
gled and besmirched.
Tangled II. All of us are
tangled at II. A few Of us
manage to Straighten out that
tangle as the years go on.
Some of us never do. Some
lives tighten into a hopeless
knot of fear and resentment
which never loosens. All of us
go through life feeling the
bind of that first bewilder-
ment.
If only someone had had the
patience and wisdom. to .ex-
plain gently what it was all
about! For life can be ex-
planned. There's no dark, in
soluble mystery.
People don't '''get that way"
youngSter, because some mali
cious fate forces them into
a vicious mood. Nor is the
world like that" because It
prefers ugliness to beauty,
trickery to honesty.
49,. People Are Afraid
People get that way because
they're timid. The world IS
like that because it's crowded.
And you, yourself, are hurt
because your mind and heart
aren't big enough to under
stand that each man sees
Truth in a different light.
/ Most of us want to be good.
It's our natural impulse. We
don't want to tell lies. We
don't want to be cruel or cow
ardly. And we start out with
lovely, generous ideals. But
life presses us and people crowd
us.
AND PRESENTLY WE ARE
WONDERING JUST WHAT is
RIGHT AND WHAT IS
WRONG?
, For the thing that seems
wrong to one man, seems right
to another. If we try to side
with everyone, we end by siding
with no one. If we give to all
who ask. we speedily become
beggars and nuisances our
selves. If we tell all we know,
there's soon no value to what
we tell. If we trust everyone,
it's not safe for anyone to
trust us!
So it goes. Millions of people
with millions of viewpoints all
trying to live and get along
with each other.
And how are any Of us to
find our bearings in this cruel
and hopeless tumble?

ONCE OVERS

To give a dramatic exhibition
of sympathy is a great big
sham.
Those who really aid the
poor don't go around talking
about it as a general rule.
They are not telling what
they have done and don't care
particularly to have others
know what they have done.
They are willing to be anony.
nous if only they can give the
helping hand.
Community funds, Christmas
funds and funds for charity in
general are good ways to help
thousands of persons without
duplicating the work.
Too many people get away
with it and fail to give to these
funds on the plea I'VE give in
dividually," usually an excuse
for getting out Of giving.

ION the Highway
To Recovery"

Any one, not knowing the
truth, would naturally as
sumo from the tenor of the
crooners of the Administra-
tion that we are we'll on the
highway to recovery. No one
would suspect that private
charity is gloomily contem-
plating a coming winter of
greater suffering than ever
before in history.
Hearing these gentlemen,
how could anyone suspect
that 100000 jobless men
are in the street; that during
their regime the wages of
those who still have jobs
have been slashed twice at
least; that the prices of agri-
cultural products are lower
than ever.
The truth is that all the
Administration has tried to
do has been to keep us
from sinking beneath the
surface entirely. There has
been no suggestion of up
building in it's program. And
the stranger, hearing the
moth-eaten SNUG statements
that the speakers alone are
capable of serving business,
never would suspect that
the only things that have
saved our financial struc-
ture from complete collapse,
under the impact of the
Hoover panic, are the Fed
eral Reserve System and
the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation, based entirely
on the Wilson War Finance
Corporation, and both the
product of the statesman
ship of the party that is
pictured as incapable of con-
structive work for business.

Crocodile Tears

CEOCOu1le 1earS
Strong on pity, are you, and
weak in extending practical
charity.
With saddened expression
and tear-filled eyes you talk
about those who have been
hardest hit by the industrial
situation.
But what have you done to
aid those for whom you are
shedding crocodile tears?
Sympathy, without action
prompted by it, is pretty poor
stuff.
1t is merely emotion, not sym.
pathy after all, for sympathy
helps.
When you have real sympathy
for a person in trouble you
seek an opportunity to help
and willingly give service If it
is in your power to do SO.
You are not satisfied with
telling them how sorry you are.

What Did
Young Say?

Another person wrote
Mr.. Young inquiring, if, in
his opinion, Roosevelt, when
elected, will be a threat to
property rights. The very
fact that the question was
asked shows how easy it is
for demagogues and hypo-
critical alarmists to plant
ridiculous ideas in mems
minds. But what did Young
say?
II have no thought that
he will resort to any pro-
gram of confiscation on the
one side, or that he will be
oblivious to the needs of the
masses of human beings on
the other. With the great
resources of this nation
properly organized and
handled, there is no reason
why individuals should not
be free from want, and
private property be pro-
tected."

The Statement
Of a Patriot

The average business man,
seeking no special graft from
. government, must be a bit
confused or, if he has a
sense of humor, amused, to
observe that the best brains
in the country, political and
business, urged the election
Of Mr.. Roosevelt, and that
the cheapest Of politicians
like those of the Cabinet of
All the Deficiencies, warned
that Roosevelt wants to de-
stroy business.
Putting all campaign bun
combe aside, can any busi-
ness man, not of the moron
type, observe the enthusias-
tic support given Roosevelt
by men like Owen D. Young,
Al Smith, Newton D. Baker,
John w. Davis, Bernard M.
Baruch and be impressed
with the doleful tales of
ruin with which Mr.. Hoover
threatened?
But Mr.. Young said some
thing more that we would
commend to those Industrial
lists, who, under the leader
ship of the Henry Fords and
the president of the Penn
sylvania railroad, proposed
to apply the lash to the
backs of their employees. To
the question as to how to
vote, I Oung replled:
"I do not think that you
should ask any officer Of the
General Electric Company
how you should vote or &C
cept their advice if they
were so unwise as to volun-
teer it, which, I am thank
full to say, they have never
done. What we need in this
country and in this election
particularly, are votes re-
flecting the views Of the
voters. I hope you will vote
as your intelligence and in
tuitions, which I value
equally highly, dictate"
That is the statement of
another American gentle
man, to go with that Of
Stevens, of Detroit. It is
the statement of a patriot.

BY the Associated Press
Just about the time farm-relief advo-
Gates get their first breath In the Con-
gress opening Monday, senatorial COM
mittee will gather to look over in de-
tail the record OF the Farm Board.
Set up three years ago, the board has
been the object of attacks from Legisla-
tors, farmers and their organizations
and private dealers In farm commodi-
ties.
As a result Of opposition to 1t the Sen
ate last session authorized its Agricul-
ture Committee headed by Senator Nc
Nary, Republican, of Oregon to go into
the boards activities.
The board submitted all its records,
which were turned over to auditors and
the Federal controller general for in
spection.
McNary said today the committee
had received a report on wheat opera
tions from private firm Of auditors
and would obtain the controller gen.
erals audit Of the boards operations in
about two weeks.
This, McNary said would 'take in
the last Is cents spent by the board" "
its loans to afflliates and cooperative
marketing agencies. and give its flnan-
cial transactions.
Members of the subcommittee, who
are Capper (Republican of Kansas
Norbeck (Republican) of South Dakota
Kendrick (Democrat) Of Wyoming and
Wheeler (DemocraD of Montana, will
meet with McNary then to decide what
will be done.
Further hearings may be held If rep
