TWO FAMOUS MEN

two of it's most noted leaders; two men who were
of different times and of far different character,
yet who are equally loved by Americans Of today
and who will be known in the history of the nation
as two Of America s outstanding personalities.
The one, Benjamin Franklin, born January IL,
1906 was carefree character, willing to live tor
today and let tomorrow for itself, despite the
many writings to the contrary for which he is re-
membered, while Robert d. Lee, born january -,
1907, was a serious, conscientious soldier whose
outstanding characteristic was loyalty.
franklin, though not as celebrated many OF
his fellow Americans of the Revolutionary era,
was more accomplished than most Of his
contemporaries, and his name is written large In
the achievements Of many fields. Apprentlced to
the trade Of printing, he became one OF the out
standing printers Of his time; type designer,
publisher and writer, and to Journalists he now
occupies a position approaching that OF patron
saint.
Turning his talents to science, Franklin proved,
by his experiment with the kite, the identity of
lightning with electricity. He improved the Ley
den jar and conducted experiments which won
him the Copey medal Of the Royal Society.
In 1866 he was examined before the House OF
Commons as to the effects of the Stamp Act, which
he had fought against, and which he had endeav-
ored to have repealed. AS to this examination,
Burke later said that the scene reminded him OF
"a master examined by parcel of schoolboys' :
Franklin's was a contradictory Life. His most
&C, teaching homely lessons of thrift, economy and
morality, yet his way of living was far differ
ent from what he advocated Many of his inven
tions were the result of his dislike for hard work.
Although born and raised in poor circumstances,
he had little regard for wealth when he did acquire
it, and squandered fortune.
He is admired not for his way Of living but for
his accomplishments, and has taken his place In
history as one of the most brilliant men of bril-
liant age.
Of Robert b. Lee it may be said that loyalty
overshadowed his many other strong character
istics. Graduating from West Point with high hon
ors he began his career in the United States army
and had soon won many honors. When the IRE
pressible conflict between the states became i'm
minent, Lee was recalled to Washington from the
field.
The secession Of Virginia from the United
States in 1861 marked the turning point of Lees
life Although he felt that the cause Of slavery
a hopeless one Lee, who himself owned no slaves,
resigned from the army with deep regrets but
with the conviction that loyalty to his native state
Of Virginia more important than his own per-
soal desires. AS conlmander-in-chef Of the Con-
federate army the man who gave up his own ca
reer to fight which was not his but his
peoples went down in defeat. But he is remem-
bered, and loved by Americans not for any per-
sonal achievements, but for his high ideals and
his strength Of character.

 Better Films
 Her early motion picture interest found expression in her program work with young people when, in 1925, she went to Waterbury, Conn, as Director of the Waterbury Girls Club. She recognized the impor- tance of the motion picture and the need to use 1t in organization ac- tivity. Junior matinees, theater, school, and newspaper cooperation ---all the matters of community mos ton picture activity received her attention in the extensive Club program, and sine worked whole hcartedly with and for the local Better Films Committee.
 Motion pictures were also used by Miss Crowley in Q community health education program. These health films were not shown no1- theatricaily to small groups but to large audiences in the theaters through Miss Crowleys effort in securing the cooperation of the managers. She relates as an exann- pie of the educational value of health films, that after one was run on dental hygeine the corner reported to her he had to put in an extra supply of tooth brushes.

 Superintendent Curtin stamped as untrue report that the pavilion floor had not been swept and waved before Sunday nights dancing pro. gram began. He also denied that the roller skates will damage the pavil- lon surface. The rollers on the skates, he pointed out, are of wood fibre, much softer than the danc- ing floor wood. Therefore, he ex- plained, no damage can be done to the surface of the floor. "Yester- day afternoon there were about i60 children enjoying the roller skating.

 ton Also Is Mentioned as
 Candidate Clyde Reed
 Will Have Say in Matter ,. !.
 Capper Ranks at Top in
 Sunfl0wer State.
 Washington, Nov. 14--Postmor. tems over failure of big polls and individual prognostications to fore cast the Roosevelt landslide have been in order for several days. Such cohesion of opinion as there Is seems to substantiate this writer's deduction that the big difference was due to what might aptly be de- scribed as the "grunt" vote.
 Anyone who traveied around . bit and sought to take personal polls recalls the large number of prospective voters who answered Inquiries and leading remarks with non -committal noises.
 This was especially true among taxi drivers. walters, bellboys, pull man porters, and similar groups whom all nosey amateur and pro- fessional pulse feelers conscien- tiously quiz. But they all were cele- brating election night and the day after.
 Other wage eaTners and white collar workers obviously concealed their sentiments for reasons of policy, fearing to annoy the boss. The tendency of many farmers to sit on the fence and merely grunt when interviewed already has been mentioned in these dis patches.
 And 1t seems reasonable now to believe that all this "grunt vote" was equally reticent when asked to declare itself in polls and straw votes.
 Some polls did much better than others, but none came near fore- casting the big national popular annd electoral majorities for Roose- welt. If one poll and It's method of sampling seems to lok better than another, you may care to recall that after 1892 there were many plausi- ble wisecracks that parties and states might well save themselves the expenses of elections and let the Literary Digest do the job. Talk of LandOn for Senate
 Many of Governor Ali Landon's friends are reasonably sure that in 1888 he will run for the U. s. senate seat of democratic Senator George McGill of Wichita. It has been automatic in Kansas that any 1898 republican nominee could beat Me- Gil. This feeling isn't as strong as 1t was before the recent landslide, but 1t persists.
 There is also talk to the effect that John D. M. Hamilton may seek the senatorial nomination In Kansas two years hence. A cOn- test between Hamlluton and Lan- don would be interesting, but it is hardly conceivable.
 Ali is more popular than John. but the latter would bow himself out if Landon actually wanted to run. Tn fact, if both men were to seek the nomination 1t Is a good bet that both would be licked.
 Former Governor Clyde M. Reed of Parsons is understood to be wanting that nomination for him. self. Reed has no liking for Ham, ilton nor any love for Landon. The latter was his campaign man. ager when Reed was nominated for governor over Hamilton in 1928 and subsequently elected.
 Reed slapped at Hamilton public- ly during the recent campaign and has been cool toward Landon ever since Ali courted the support of some of Reeds bitterest enemies in the campaign of le32.
 Most Kansans agree he would give Landon . stiff fight.
