reelection. The candidate of the Whigs was Gen. William Henry Harrison. About his only qualifica- tion for the office was the fact that he was "a gentleman from Ohio who had once won a battle against the Indians" and despite the unpopular ity of Van Buren, his job of win ming the election seemed all the more impossible because the Wings had neglected to give him any sort of a platform upon which to run.
 Then almost overnight, that plat form was supplied. An editorial writer in the Baltimore Herald, which was friendly to Van Buren, made the statement that if Harrison were given a pension of $2,000 a year and a barrel of hard cider he would be perfectly content to spend the rest of his day in his log cabin studying moral philosophy.
 Other Democratic papers reprint ed this testing remark. Immediately the Whigs seized upon it as a sheer at the candidate of the plain peo- ple." Then began that whooping, singing, log-cabin, hard-cider, Tip pecanoe and Tyler, Too" campaign which swept the Wings into power and caused the Democrats to com plain dolefully We have been sung down, lied down, drunk down!"

 But if a few printed words in as newspapers continue to be an vitally affected history it is also true that a few lines from the pen of a cartoonist have done the same thing. It was the pen of Thomas Mast of Harper's Weekly which gave to American political symbol ism the Tammany tiger and it was his powerful cartoons that broke up the Tweed Ring" in New York City, a journalistic victory unique in political history.
 So the instances of newspapers, newspaper writers and newspaper artists who were makers of history as well as recorders thereof could be multiplied indefinitely from the records of the past And so long as newspapers continue to be an essential feature of the American scene they will probably continue to play that role. -Ex.

NARROW ESCAPE

Mrs. Ralph Merrill of Valdez, had narrow escape recently, if not from being mauled by a brown bear, at least from being frighten- ed to death while near Mir. Merrilrs mining camp near Port Wells Mrs. Merrill had strolled about a quarter of a mile away from camp and was standing on the bank of a small stream watching the fish. when she was startled by tremendous roar Glancing mp she saw, on the oppo- site side of the stream, about 30 feet away a big brown bear which she declared was as large as the aver age COW. Once more bruin gave vent to a roar louder and more menac- ing than the first. Facing the ami maj and slowly retreating, Mrs. Merrill put thirty or forty addition al feet between herself and the ami nal and then turned and ran. She had on rubber boats, and finding these were delaying her progress, she kicked them off, took one in each hand and started again, her speed being increased by another roar from the bear The remaining distance to camp was covered in record time, where she arrived safe but somewhat breathless.

MAKERS, AS WELL AS
 RECORDERS OF HISTORY

To a newspaper reporter goes the credit for coining a phrase, the connotations of which are under stood all over the world, according to a current news story. For it was James Kieran of the New York Times who applied the term, Brain Trust" to the group of men who are advising President Roosevelt in his yielding of hitherto unheard-of executive powers and this pat phrase may go down in our history as the most expressive symbol of a new era in our national life.
 It not only illustrates the fact that we Americans live. learn and are guided in our thinking and act ing by symbols, slogans, catchwords, and the like, but it reminds us again of the fact that frequently our newspapers and our newspaper workers are makers, as we'll as re- corders, of history. There are so many instances of this available that it is difficult to list the outstanding examples without writing a whole volume on the subject.
 The very existence of our present form of government can be traced to the series of articles, known as "The Federalist Papers" written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madi- son and John Jay, which appeared in the New York Independent Ga zette in 17S7-SS and which, widely copied in other newspapers of the time, had a decisive influence in bringing about the adoption of the Constitution.
 The result of Horace Greeley's "On to Richmond" slogan, repeated ly printed in the New York Tribune during the early days of 1861, is too we'll known to need further comment beyond pointing out the fact that it undoubtedly precipitated the disaster at Bull Run and woke both North and South to realiza- tion of the stern task ahead.
 In fact, American history is so filled with examples of editorial in- fluence in defining issues, shaping courses of action and bringing i'm portant events to continuation that the historian who attempts to write American military, political and economic history without re- course to the newspaper files might as well quit work before he begins.
 Perhaps no more Illuminating il- lustration of how newspaper can be a maker of history can be found than is afforded by the story of an obscure paragraph which appeared in the Baltimore Herald during the Presidential campaign of 1840. In that campaign Martin Van Buren was the Democratic candidate for

LETTERS
ROME AND ITS ARMIES

The work of the E. c. R. at Wran- gell has been most satisfactorily both to the boys who work there and to the town as we'll. It has made a most beautiful park for the town.
 Now in these days there has been pacific sentiment, Abolish our army and navy" has been the cry. Our standing army to save expense has been reduced. Some people claim that an army and navy arouse the fighting spirit and thus lead into war.
 This is silly No class of men are more pacific than our army and navy officers. Rome used it's army to carry on it's public works. It's work was so perfect that the re- mains are used today.
 Now can we not get a suggestion from this? Why not fuse our stand ing army and our dollar a day crowd.
 Our standing army would then be so large that men like Hitler would say we had better leave it alone, and there would always be work for those who need it and our country would be richer in high ways and parks.

FEDERAL J0BLESS
AID is DENIED
Buck Passing Brings
Suffering to Masses

WASHINGTON, July 25.-A re-
quest for 100000 for relief from
federal funds for Ohio was denied
by Emergency Relief Administrator,
Harry L. Hopkins. The delegation
calling for aid was headed by VIII
sons war secretary and arch-enemy
of the workers, Newton D. Baker
The Ohio delegation similarly to
those of other states, has spurned
its responsibility for aid to the job
less and referred to the federal gov
eminent for action.
Hopkins, as in all recent requests
in turn rejected aid from the $780,
100000 voted by Congress for fed
eral relief. AS in previous instances,
he declared: 1--WE are waiting to see
what Ohio is going to do"
The federal relief head and the Ohio
Governor are both waiting what the
other will do. In the meantime Ohio
workers just as in other states are
without relief. All divisions of the
SOfCIl alC JuAoNlli6 a PAOSA GILL
of Sinking responsibility.
For the unemployed this brings
out the most glaring necessity for a
struggle for federal unemployment
insurance. The whole aim of the
federal government is to make the
largest division in relief distribution
so that the workers are shifted from
city to county, state. and federal
and neither of these divisions take
any responsibility for giving relief
With the continuous refusal on
the part of Roosevelt's appointee to
give aid, it is necessary to get q
wide mobilization of organizations
to demand that President Roosevelt
call special session of Congress to
adopt the Federal Workers Unem-
ployment Insurance Bill.

MINEOLA, L. l., July Is
Two thousand Negro and white
workers joined in a demon
stration at the court house
yesterday demanding relief or
work. The demonstration was Or
gani2ed by the Unemployed Action
Committee when a threat was made
that relief funds will not be forth
coming after August First.
Though a committee of the work
ers was unable to see the officials,
the supervisors authorized the Dor
rowing of $125,000 for home relief
and a SI35,000 for work relief for
the month of August. All workers
recognized this decision as having
been forced by the demonstration.
A committee had been elected to
see the supervisors, but was informed
by the police that they had adjourned
for the week, though they were meet
ing at the time. The committee then
decided to see the $4,000 year man,
Dr.. Devine who is in charge of work
relief and again met without sue
cess.
The workers than voted to send a
