Daniel Francis SuIIivan's Ambition Was to
Be a Fireman, and He Made
A Spend id One

AS a youngster Daniel Francis
Sullivan was entranced by the fire
house in the neighborhood, with
the brass pole for the firemen to
slide down, the cleaning engine
and the spirited horses.
So the happiest day in his life
was in 1904 when he received his
appointment to the department,
and he performed meritorious
service for the next % years until
he was retired.
Several times he narrowly es-
capped death, once when he fought
his way through flames to rescue a
child trapped in its crib.
Another time he was caught by
a back draft, dreaded by all fire

where TO find workers for the work.
But there has never been any lack
Of consumer demand'-certainly
no lack in 1929 and 80 and 81 and
81. The lack was in consumer pur-
chaslng power. The Roosevelt eco-
nomic policies have been designed
TO translate consumer demand into
consumer purchasing power, and to
the degree that they have done this,
business recovery has got under

On labor problems the governor
also, in our opinion, failed to dis
play grasp Of underlying economic
realities. He went out of his way
to proclaim the right of workers to
organize in company unions as well |
as craft or industrial unions, with
out interference from any source. |
But he did not discuss what is OBJ |
viously the basic economic value of |
labor organization, so far as society |
as whole is concerned-th build |
ing up of workers purchasing pow

tive bargaining.
Nor did he say anything as to pos
sible state or federal responsibility
for wages and working conditions. |
Yet, somehow, in some way, some
thing will have to be done to give
workers larger share of the pro-

CALENDINE BROS, STOCKPORT
ANNOUNCE NEW PLOW

Unusual activity and enthusiasm
surrounds the premises OF Calendlne
Bros, at Stockport. The place is
bright with brand new banners, and
everybody is plainly bulging with
pride 1t is all about a plow-the
new Case Centennial tractor plow
just announced by the j. I. Case
company and now put on special dis
play by Calendine Bros.
The Centennial plow is so named
because it was created to celebrate
100 years of plow progress that be-
gan with the first steel plow made at
Grand Detour, Illinois, in 1887. 1t
hardly seems possible that only a
century ago there were no plOws that
would work successfully in the
sticky prairie soils, and that the
whole development of our richest
farming regions depended on the Pc
culiar securing ability of hardened
steel. From that first steel plow of
1897 came the whole steel plow in
dustry of today, and the vast area of
agriculture it makes possible.
What makes Calendine Bros. SO
proud is that the new Centennial is
direct, IlI6dl ueScGIQdHL lIOul ludC
first Grand Detour plow, made by
the original Grand Detour plow busi-
ness that has carried on continuous
ly since 1887 as a series of partner
ships, as the incorporated Grand De-
tour Plow company, and since 1919
as the plow division of the j. |. Case
company Many historical scenes and
figures of those sturdy pioneer days
are shown in rotogravure-pi pictorial,
'Plows on Parade" offered free to
visitors at Calendine Bros Centen-
nial display.
According to Mr.. Calendine, the
Centennial tractor plow is well nigh
as revolutionary as the original steel
plow, and we'll worthy of the honor
ed history behind it. AS result of
advance sales he declares that it
pulls easier, works faster. covers bet
ter, and will last longer than any
plow he ever saw His display is
specially arranged to show the re-
markably high life-from six inches
deep to six inches clear with the
power lift alone, OF nine inches with
levers. These levers, by the way,
are long, for easy action, and come
Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1936-07-30

handy to the tractor seat. He DEM
onstrates how they set the plowing
depth by quarter-inch steps, and
claims it is the first lever plow that
permits plowing at exactly the desir-
ed depth.
He also states that the Centennial
is the first tractor plow which ac-
tually and consistently carries the
Landslide pressure on the rear wheel,
and shows the one-nut adjustment
which maintains this freedom from
Landslide friction for all soil condi-
tions. By avoiding this friction, he
says, several horsepower is usually
saved. He points out the places that
the Centennial has clearance where
clearance counts" but says only see
ing it at work in tall weeds, loose
straw, or long stalks will prove how
it handles bulky trash and puts it
to bed"
In honor of the new plow, and
of the century of plow progress, Cal
endine Bros. are holding open house.
They welcome not only farmers, but
bankers, merchants, and all others
who recognize the universal benefits
from new economy and superior per-
formance in the fundamental opera
tion of plowing, of the fundamental

pace with our capacity to produce;
only in that way can prosperity be
attained and sustained.
Our space and your time require
us to plead, as the governor did, for
postponement of further detailed
discussion. But we cannot fail to
observe that the governors remarks
on the farm problem leave us puz-
zled as to his agricultural program.
We thought we understood it af-
ter former Governor Lowden's con-
else statement the other day in Gov
ernor Landon's presence, but the
latter's speech returned to the con-
tradictions and uncertain promises
Of the platforms farm plank.
His announced determination to
balance the budget through econo-
mics appeals to our prejudice on the
subject, but his failure to admit that
taxes will be necessary challenges
not be balanced merely by taking
economies "out of the hides of the
political exploiters," though we
heartily approve taking what can be
taken that way.
His promise to ''amend the Social
Security Act to make it workabl !"
would have been more convincing if
he had told how.
He failed to mention the power is
sue-the Tennessee Valley Author
ity, the rural electrification program,
the utility holding company law.
He said nothing about banking
and investment policies he
was for or against the New Deals
bank reforms, government control
over the federal reserve system, de-
posit insurance, the Truth-in-Securi-
ties Law, stock market regulation.
He spoke out, in way we like,
for a more aggressive policy in CO.
operating with other nations to linn
it armaments. But he said nothing
about the neutrality policies he ia
vors, if any.
He said nothing about the slum
housing problem, nothing about the
farm tenancy problem.
Since the people already know
pretty we'll what President Roose-
welt stands for in these matters, we
hope the governor will soon get
around to clearing up the obscure
ties that remained when he signed
off last night.-Columbu Citizen.

THE ACCEPTANCE SPEECH

This is the middle Of hot sum
mer and November seems far away.
SO the American people will be in
clined to be patient with Governor
Alfred NJ Landon and permit him TO
unfold his program in his own way.
In his acceptance speech the
governor said he had no time to lay
his whole program before the peo-
pie, but promised to discuss other
phases Of it in detail as the cam
paign progresses.
Coming as he does fresh into the
field OF national affairs, and beset
with conflicting counsel, Governor
Landon is naturally Inclined 10 move
with caution. 1t is only fair that
his program be judged as he himself
reveals it.
But we can attempt to appraise
his approach to some of the few is
sues avon which he touched
He professed great faith in the
American system of government, and
implied that the New Deal has by
some devious means attempted to un-
dermine that system. He made veil
ed references to "usurpation." He
offered no instances of undermining

lie declared the solution of our
unemployment problem lies in plac-
ing reliance once more in the ini-
tiatiye, Intelligence and courage of

ties. The nations business men,
he indicated. are not now making
jobs and opportunities because of
"incessant governmental intimida-
tiol and hostility" He was quite as
obscure as the Republican platform
on this subject, but we feel sure he
would not want to go back to the
coddling policies of the Hoover ad-
ministration, under which unemploy-
ment grew greater and business grew
worse.

TAKE LEAD,' MYERS
URGES DEMOCRATS
Party Asked to Provide
Honest Government.

Walter Myers, indianapolis attor-
ney and former speaker of the In
diana House of Representatives,
today called upon the Democratic
party to take the lead in honest
government.
Speaking before Democratic Vet
Grams last night in Tomlinson Hall,
Mr.. Myers said, "Pick leaders who
will be tax savers and not tax eat
ers, who will be just and generous
without being soft and f1abby. The
call is for men who can say no
to the wastrel, rather than yes to
the maudlin."
1.-THE wrongful exercise of power
destroys nations" the speaker said.
1.-THE rules of the game in our
constitution forbid alike the tyr
amy of the autocrat, the violence
of the mob or the grasping clutch
of selfish persons, interests, groups
or classes"
He pointed to Italy, Germany and
Russia as countries where consti-
tutional guarantees were abolished.
