AS WE SEE IT.

Tonight brings the acceptance
speech Of the Sunflower states
candidate for the Presidency Of the
United States, ALI M. Landon.
Never before, or for long time
1t least has the American public
been rs curious to learn what any
politician has 10 offer in the way
of . platform as II will be this eve
ming. Every word will be weighed
and analysed In the most cxactins
manner.
While many have already come
to . definite decision as for whom
they will cast their ballot next No
vember many will be influenced by
tonight's speech and IL will be dif-
ficult to drive them from that de-
cision ut . later date.
Once more Spain is in the throes
of another revolt. What IL is All
about is q question in the minds OF
many of us but the chances are II
Is the aftermath of another at

BLUSFERY MARCH

Suppose the months of the yea
we're to be pictured as having som,
kind of human personality. How
would you represent March? Thai
month might be illustrated as a
boastful. clustering fellow. one OF
the kind OF people who go swagger-
ing through the world telling every
body what to do.
March comes into our year with
the bluf and bluster Of its blowing
winds. 1t is not a popular month.
The men get their hats blown on.
and the ladies find their skirts i'm
dealt with.
e However. March is not as rought
as he often appears. He is like the
dog that barks violently, but rarely
bites anybody. At least in March.
he snn has come back a long way
rom its winter jOurneyings, and
gives us some lovely days. If March
'lows his windy breath around us
90 much. it is at least the pure and 1
Iedlth giving air of heaven.

TROUBLE WITH ORR EATS

Experts on diet. appointed through
the League of Nations. find that the
average persons of all nations fail
to obtain certain essential elements
OF nutrition. Evidently most peo-
pie. in picking their food, select
things whose taste they enjoy. but
give little attention to the question
whether they are nutritious or not.
These experts think the peoDle
should consume less sugar and white
flour, and more potatoes.
There is such thing as worrying
so much about food and diet that
appetite is impaired When your
appetite goes. its Good night" TO
health. If people lead lives of
wholesome physical activity. they
should be hungry enough so that
meat and vegetables and bread and
potatoes will taste good. In which

KIDNAPPING OFEICRRS

The U. S. Supreme Court hold
that kidnapping a police officer t.
avoid arrest constitutes a violation
of the Lindbergh kidnapping law
The desperate crooks who are ter
rcrizing the country have recently
adopted the plan of carrying off Of
hcers and other persons who inter
fere with their audacious deeds.
The criminal world has one great
advantage over the officers of the
law. The officer is limited in using
his weapons, by fear of hitting some
innocent person. The criminal cares
not whom he hits. and he fires at
in sight. This advantage
accounts i'm many cases for the fail
lre of police officers to get these
bloody men. Give these crooks the
limit of the law. and then some. is

STUDYING TOO HARDY

A former professor in a German
university. now teaching in Oul
country, remarks that American stu.
dents have to work too hard. Many
parents agree with him. and they
don't like what they call the forcing
process in American schools and col
leges.
Good students often worry too
much about their lessons, and don't
get enough athletic life and health
full exercise. Meanwhile host of
Indifferent students get little good
out OF their work, and need to worry
more. These two types of character
need to be mixed up. The good stu
dents should be encouraged to spend
more time chasing tennis balls and
running bases. The happy-go-lucky
students need to be taught that edu
cation is not a continuous house
party and picnic.

BONUS MONEY FOR FARMs

Apparently a good many veterans
will use the money received from
their bonus to buy farms or make
down payments on such property
1t is the hope Of the nation that in
so far as possible, this payment
shall be used to create some form of
permanent property for the veteran
and his family II he will put it
into some permanent piece of prop
erty. it can be the means of provid-
ing him a lifelong income.
Many will say that agriculture is
overdOne. Yet better days are in
sight for the farm people. The gov
eminent is committed to find some
plan that will help them. ">
As business improves, more peo-
pie will leave the farms, and thus
the pressure Of over production will
be relieved. The outlook on the
arms for the veteran who never
ouched a plough or milked a COW.
s not specially good. If he came |
rom a farm originally. he should
e able to make good on the land.

DO YOUR PART

People often fail to make good in
their home towns. because they shirk
responsibilities, and are unwilling to
make personal sacrifices. SuDDose
they are asked to take a prominent
part in some entertainment Their
first thought is that they are glad to
do so. But afterward something
comes up that they want to do. They
neglect the preparations for the
event with which they promised to
cooperate. They may consequently
make failure of it. or make so
much trouble that they do not get
another chance to take that kind of
part.
II people agree to do anything in
cooperation with others. they would
better perform faithfully the duties
they had agreed upon, or else they
may expect to be considered unre-
liable.

What Democratic Editors Are Saying
DISSATISFIED DEMOCRATS

The undeniable truth is that all
over the country there are thous-
ands of Democrats deeply resentful
towards Mr.. Roosevelt. They feel
that he has broken the party pled-
ges, repudiated the traditional party
doctrines, turned the administration
over to unsafe men who, by no
stretch Of the Imagination, can be
called Democrats, adopted policies
abhOrrent to them as Democrats and
as citizens. No one can estimate
the number of these Democrats, but
some who have been sounding senti.
ment are convinced there are as
many people opposed to Mr.. RoOse-
welt as were ever opposed to Mr..
Bryan, and they are, if anything,
more bitter.-BaltimOr Sun.

PUTTING OFF PAY DAY

When a man goes on a jamboree
ne doesn't give much thought Of the
headache to come. He shoVes that
thought behind him, knowing full
well that he will have plenty Of time
next day for that.
Congress is going through that or
deal. When i was busy passing the
bonus bin it had no time 10 give
thought to the morning after when
payment would have to be made.
Thoroughly enjoying its spree, 1t

money into the background. Now the
question presses and many are the
means. The headache is a throbbing
one.
It's a bad mess, but almost newt

LAUNDERING IN THE wPA

One of the strangest Vagaries OF
the relief situation has just come to
light in st. Louis While providing
unemployment relief, the WPA in
this instance is creating unemploy-
ment.
Eight quarries here has been leas-
ed by the WPA from private opera
tors. The purpose is to provide stone
for public works building projects
and to give employment to men
from the relief rolls. So far, well
and good. But what has happened
here is that regular employees of
the quarries have been discharged,
and their places filled by WPA wOr-
kers. When these discharged en-
DlOyees asked what they were to do.
they were advised, in cne instance
at least, to go on relief so that they
too, might be eligible for WPA Jobs. /
Someone has blundered, and the /
result is waste of money and human /
resources, pauperization of self-sus-
tanning labor, lowering of standards.
If the discharged workers 20 on re-
lief and get WPA quarry employ
iINAAs lAASJ SAludISG JuUS paying SlE
to SIS week for the same Jobs,
though with shorter hours, at S55 a

were displaced by 40
WPA men; in another, 40 by 200. In
stead Of finding idle quarries or +
,ther opportunities for work that
would not compete with regularly
employed men, the WPA actually
las added to unemployment by this
'roject. The scheme means that the
egular workers. by losing their
obs are being penalized for the un-
situation. For the tax !
aver, il means heavier burden by
Increasing the total Of work-relief
Il is a futile sort Of relief that
royides jobs with one hand and
axes them away with the other. !

HIDDEN pOWER FOR YOr

There are two kinds of power in
any community. There is first the
hidden power. the things that city
could do if it really tried. You
often get an idea Of what that power
is when some calamity occurs. A
city may usually be a sleepy kind
of place, with very little going on,
and people say it is dead. But if
they had big fire that wiped out
half the business district. you would
see the hidden power of the place
come out People would take hold
with energy and faith and rebuild,
and come out with better city. It
s a revelation Of how much hidden
lower there is.
Too bad that hidden power can't
lave more constant expression, and
hat il often'tahes some serious mis-
ortune to bring it out.
