Democrats Of the nation, from the

This was appropriate, for Jack

He never Quibbled, he never trim

Nor Is our government to be
maintained or our union preserved
by invasiOns Of the rights and pow
ers of the several states. In thus at
tempting to make our general gov
eminent strong we make it weak.
Its true strength consists in leaving
individuals and states as much as
possible to themselves"

SIMPLE EXPERIMENT SHOWS
EXPLOSIVE POWER or DUST

Dust explosions which occur ID
grain elevators and other industrial
plants can be easily demonstrated.
J Chemical engineers OF the United
States Department Of Agriculture
often produce miniature dust explo-
siOns at training schools for firemen
and at fire-prevention meetings.
They take a small handful Of corn
starch and sift Il through a fine
cheese cloth onto a lighted match.
A vivid. fast burning flame appears
as II by magic. It is such a fame
IN an industrial plant starting per-
haps from an electric spark or the
striking Of a match-which ignites
other inhammable dust and causes a
disastrous explosion.
Once the dust starts burning the
fame travels rapidly, building pp
pressure which causes the actual
explosion. Inhammable dusts will
not explode unless they are fine,
dry, and suspended In air.
Investigations by the Bureau OF
Chemistry and Soils indicate that
two reports are usually heard in
connection with large dust explo-
sions. The first report is sharp
and quick-the second. loud and
rumbling. A small quantity Of sus-
pended dust catching on fire ap-
parentIy causes the FIRST. Then
other dust is disturbed and another
explosion, much larger than the
first and accompanied by more fame
spreads through the dust zone.

GIVE BUSINESS A CHANCE

Much of the misdireCted energy o.
the New Deal has been aimed al
business. Perhaps one of the rea'
sons business is the especial target
OF the New Dealers is that so few Of
them ever had any experience with
lii. They never have been required
to learn that a business which
spends more than it receives faces
bankruptcy.
When business has been most
prosperous. the men and women and
children of the country have been
hest provided for. Progress in rails
ing the American standard of living
has come as a result of employment
for the multitudes at high wages and
not as a consequence of relief hand
outs.
In view of this fundamental fact,
! il is beyond understanding why the
! New Dealers persist in their attacks
to undermine business of all kinds.
The greatest prosperity has come
to American men and women when
business wa smOst prosperous, and
shared its prosperity in spreading
employment.
When business is not making ends
meet, the owners. whether they be
partners, individuals or stockholders,
have nothing to share with those who
are employed by them or their man
ayers. When business is prosperous,
in spite of New Deal propaganda to
the contrary, high wages have been
the rule in America. Prosperous
has built the country. Tax
ing business to the point of extinc-
ton merely is another way of beat
ing down the standard of living
which once was synonymous with
American prosperity.
Latest advices from Washington
suggest that the New Dealers are
recognizing that business must be al
lowed to have larger profits so that
these may be shared in larger mea-
sure with the government. Let them |
make plenty so we can soak them |
plenty. is the slogan; but it all comes
tut of the consumer in whom the
administration processes to have
such great interest.
All of this suggests that business
S being operated not to help the
country. the men and women in in
lustry and their families, or the own
rs thereof. but to furnish the means
o pay for the New Dealers mistakes.
BUSINESS has shown a tenacity in

ng short of marvel If the New
Dealers would give the honest bust

which threaten to bring
bout chaos, cur natural economy

lew Dealers don't want that to hap
