OF course, the officials should be

We have one of the greatest sources

and it is an unfathomable mystery
why our potato lawmakers have not

This advice was given to the national executive COM

man. and James Eli Watson, former Senator
The Republican Party boasts few more astute
politician than Mr. Watson. He long has been
recognized as such. Not many would call him a
statesman. but he knows his politics
Both he and Mr.. Ball see the danger of party dis
harmony if the Republicans turn to sucn discredited
leaders as Herbert Hoover or Ogden Mills.
Republicans should recognize that such progress
sivism their party policies permit has flourished
in the Middle West and Far West tran in the
Old Guard East

Usher to his partys national chairman, should help
to pull up short the present purposeess pursuit of
personalities and catch phrases
The real issues which Republicans must meet if
they expect to get anywhere, Mr.. Gannett said are
how to make our economic system function so as to
provide permanent jobs for the 10 million idle and
decent livelihood for the 1Ols million farm families

SENATOR LEWIS

DERHAPS it is ironic that the urbane and scholar
ly jim Ham Lewis should be making his fight for
life amid the proletarian realities of Moscow. And
yet despite his magnifcence of dress and diction,
the weu-loved Illinois Senator sprang not from the
drawing rooms but from the docks.
That was a long time ago, of course; how long,
even Senator Lewis has been reluctant of recent
years to say. But time could not sully the decorum
of this Senate sage He has chung almost alone to
that departed school of craftsmanship which could
compound courtlinesS and vitrio lie is his partys
whip" but he has welded the lash with friendly
flourish that has softened the sting.

house if James Hamilton Lewis we're lost to it.

Effort should be made to help a
larger number of young men and
women finish their formal educa-

financial support it is best that
they do volunteer service for
various public spirited agencies.
Going a step further I would sug-
gest that those who are not in
financial need. work without pay

public recreation. In addition to
these suggestions I know there is
a wide field for civic and trade
organizations in every community
that could offer new opportunities
for active cooperation from the
idle young men and women. There
is no civic or business program
that can afford to ignore youth.
In normal times in different cities
I have heard a great deal of talk
among Chamber Of Commerce and
Board Of Trade members about
the need for new blood. 1t is the
responsibility of civic leaders to
fit youth, employed or unemployed
into their activities.
