last Sunday morning, despite the
inclement weather, to hear Pastor
Porter's sermon on the theme,
Business In Religion" The speak

as business-like in their religious
life as in their commercial affairs,
to be alert and watchful and do
things as business people do them.
Before the sermon, Rev. Porter

TO A PESSIMIST
BV James Beeks

A mighty king sought poor Cync one day,
Found him sitting in tub by the way,
And asked in grand tones "ls there Aught can do
To brighten your life and bring gladness to your"
The Cynic's reply that great monarch did stun
eff you'll just be so kind, please stand out of my sun
We meet many people as through life we go,
Whose faces are ever a picture of woe;
They cry about that and they sigh about this
And sheer at all happiness, pleasure and bliss,
Wherever they meet you their woes they begin,
Then wonder why people avoid them like sin.
My friend if your you must hug to your breasts.
Pray caress them in secret and let the world rest;
For your sorrows our hearts with deep sympathy
groans
But we firmly decline to give ear to your moan;
If you must mar each day with your whining and fuss
Stand out of our sun Cast no shadow on us!

Literary Digest Editor Can't Explain Landslide that Sent

NEW YORK, Nov. With a chuckle in his voice, Wilfred J. Funk, editor -in-chief of the Literary Digest. which forecast IIandon's election, said last night
 T am simply astounded at what is apparently a landslide for Roos- evelt."
 The laugh, Funk said, was to show he could take it.
 Tt is beyond comprehension to explain away the Digest poll" fur ther said Funk. T could not pos sibly do that It will take time and lots of pencils and paper in figuring. We constructed a poll from returns from ten million ballots distributed among every class in the country. Don't get me wrong; my personal belief was that Roosevelt would win. I thought it would be close but cannot explain that apparent landslide"

AS ALASKA GOES so GOES NATION IS PROVEN AGAIN
Farley Visioned It Early Gov. Troy Comments
 on Prediction

"As Alaska Goes. So Goes the Na- tion"
 Democratic National Chairman James A. Farley in an Associated Press dispatch from New York City printed in The Empire September II, 1886, following the sweeping Democratic victory in the Terri tory, said:
 Tt is time to change the ancient byword of the past from as Maine goes, so goes the Nation to as A. aska goes so goes the nation"
 For the past 30 years, Farley said, Alaska has gone Republican when the national election has been Re- publican and has gone Democratic when the national election was Democratic except in 1912 when Woodrow Wilson was elected as a result of a Republican split.
 National Democratic committee man J. A. Hellenthall sent Farley word that the entire Democratic ticket had carried the election in Alaska by more than a three to one majority.
 ''The Alaska verdict, because of a similarity of economic interests, can be taken as an indication of what is going to happen in the Western States on November B." Chairman Farley said then.
 Another instance of Farley's shrewd judgment was graphically proved by yesterdays results.

EARLY VOTE SHOWED GAIN
 OF NEW DEAL
City and Factory Centers Starte d Filing Up
 Roosevelt Lead

NEW YORK, Nov 4.-Early elec- ton returns last night from city and factory centers lifted the New Deal Presidential ticket to high ma- lorities at which the opposition nibbled uncertainty as the country precincts reported more slowly.
 On the face of far from com plete returns, Roosevelt led Landon in a sweeping fashion throughout most of the nation, east west and south.
 The Republicans refused to accept the early indications as conclusive, although the New York American, Hearst's newspaper, and the Kansas City Star, Landon's booster. said returns indicated Roosevelt vic- tory.
 Contending the early trend to Roosevelt was not unexpected, Chairman Hamilton declared he still expected the country to spell COP victory.
