The nickname "Peewee" proved a
trap for a Baltimore negro sought
by Maryland state police on a muir
der charge. He was captured here
oil Sunday, at a fish factory. James
Jefferson, alias "Peewee" Johnson,

another negro four months ago, was
working as a cooks assistant, at the
Consolidated Fisheries Company un-
der the name of James Smith, but
his associates knew the small negro
as "Peewee." When a Lewes town
officer. Charles w. Futcher, arrived
with a photograph of many aliases,
James Smith was taken into custody
and lodged in the county Jail at
Georgetown. He was turned over
to Baltimore authorities this week.

THE SEVENTY-FOURTH con-
GRESS will pass into history with
the unenviable distinction of having
piled up the greatest mountain Of
appropriations in the peaee-time his
tory of the country.
Even its free-spending predeces-
sor. the Seventy-third. was a piker
by comparison. But since both Con-
crosses were committed bag and bag
gage to the Presidents New Deal
program and played a vital part in
giving it effect. it is scarcely fair to
judge them separately. The Seventy
third, perhaps. INDUCED in more
legislative tinkering and experiment
tation and rendered a greater mea-
sure of subservience TO the President.
but the Seventy-fOurth was as def
inately branded with the New Deal
Stamp. Together they will go down
in history as the Roosevelt Con-
crosses.
We know. for example, that since
March 4, 1898, the two Congresses
have appropriated approximately
$32, 900 100000, or several billion
dollars more than the aggregate of
all Federal appropriations from 1889
to 1913. the first year of the Wilson
1t is an established fact that of the
eleven major New Deal experiments
by these Congresses. nine
have been declared unconstitutional
by the Supreme Court.
1t is beyond argument that these
two Congresses have added more
jobholders to the Federal pay rolls
than at any comparable period in
The nations history.
Finally, il is part of the record
that they have meekly made 10 the
President vast grants Of authority
which have tended to destroy the
balance of power established by the |
and to exalt the execu-
live branch of the government ut the |

An RPOCHAL 'BONER"

(Lafaystie, Ind, Journal & cOurier)
Postmaster General James A,
Farley's ears must burn as Demo
cratic politicians criticize, IN strict
confidence, his recent reference to
Gov. Alt. N. Landon as a prairie
state nonentity. Calling the COVER
nor a nonentity might not have been
SO bad. The implication, however,
was that anyone who lives in the
prairie state region, is, ipso facto,
a nonentity.
Mayme Farley intended his slur TO
apply only TO Kansas, hut Kansas
isn't the only prairie state by any
means, and Democratic candidates,
from President Roosevelt on down,
may need all Of them on election
day.
Moreover the Republicans them
selves could not have chosen a more
DemOeratieally damaging individual
than Farley to speak slightingly Of
the prairies.
Democratic politicians all along
have been uneasily aware that the
pm. G. as chairman Of the Demo-
cratic National Committee repre-
sents a President who virtually is a
Manhattan suburbanite. They know,
too, that many New York City folk
are regarded in the West as ignoT-
ant Of the fact that there Is any
United States beyond the Hudson
River.
Now It Is implied by Farley that
this guess Is eOrrect-the Admins
trati0n does consider the prairies OF
no consequence.

MAKING MONEY

Young people are all anxious to
make money" They talk about
that more than almost anything else
except perhaps sports.
For most people, there is only one
way to make money. and that is to
render superior service. The best
workers on the job in the long run
get the best pay. If they can't get
il where they are, someone else bids
for them. If they go into business
for themselves. it is superior service,
plus enterprise and hustle. that win.
If they are promoted to an executive
position for some company. it is their
capacity for superior service that
does it.
Milford chronicle., 1936-07-31

MR.. LAND0N DOES NOT snit Mr..
Farley one bit. Landon is too ignO-
rant inithe ways Of Tafnmany meth
DDS and too honest in American ways
to fit into the Farley scheme Of doing
things.
Farley is jittery over Lahdon's lack
of experience. The Tammany boss
says Landon's record has been con-
cealed.
The Midwest has come to know
Mr.. Landon as a governor who bal
anced the budget, kept his campaign
promises. lived up to the pledges Of
his party's platform, met pay rolls,
succeeded in business, believes in
thrift, and is devoid of silver-tongued
oratOry.
Mr.. Farley may not like Mr.. Lam
don because the Kansan has been
raised in the old-fashiOned virtues of
honesty. Farley cannot conceive of
any goodness coming out OF the MID
West and he cannot believe there are
any capable men west of the Allie
ghenies.
Whether Landon suits Big Jim or
not. LandOn seems to suit the Repub-
licans. His nomination was so unan-
imous that it struck Big Jim right
in the solar plexus, and he has
howled ever since. Time was when
Farley was cOckeyed sure of win
ming the Mid-W West. but RoOseVelt's
spending and thrifty LandOn's nom
inatiOn on a substantial farm pro-
gram has disrupted Farley's cam
paign strategy.

C0sTs Of COLLEGE

During recent years many colleges
have raised their tuition and other
costs. 1t has become a very expen-
siye proposition to send boy or
girl through many Of these institu-
tions. Many young people have set
their hearts on such a course, and
their parents feel It is essential they
should have this training. But they
can't see where the money is coming
from.
College training is a fine thing for
those who have a real gift for study.
II they just go for the sports and
social life. the advantages are doubt
ful.
What shall be done If young peo-
pie have a real desire to study. but
can't find any way to dig up the
money for such a course? Perhaps
they have not made enough effort to
obtain a scholarship in some college.
This form of aid is given to many
students who had fine records in the
lower schools. If a student wants
such help. he should get right up
on his toes. and try for high marks
in his present school.
Junior colleges which give a two
years course in college studies, are
growing in popularity. Many fine
technical schools give a young per-
son a splendid start. Some young
sters who would acquire loafing hab.
its In four years study. are better
off to study a couple of years and
then take of their coats and go to
work.
Many of the cOuntry's leaders
never saw the inside of a college hall.
They learned in the great school of
life. They kept their eyes and ears
open. remembered what they saw
and heard, cultivated the society of
intelligent people. Every newspaper
and magazine they picked up gave
them a lesson in human affairs. The
main thing that makes success is
not what you learn in a relatively
brief college course. but the habits
of industry, observation. thorough
ness. and acquisition Of knowledge
which you form.

THE PRESIDENT WILL BE the
issue In 1886. 1t is Mr.. Roosevelt
who has torn one party platform to
shreds and now steps forth as the
exponent of another of quite differ
ent character. II is Mr.. Roosevelt
who has fOstered government by
executive decree" 1t is Mr.. RoOse-
welt who has induced a subserRient
Congress to vote huge appropriations
out of the public treasury, who has
cherished the weird economic doc
trine of scarcity and curtailed pro-
ductiOR, who has fOstered a shifting
and variable financial policy, who
has enormously increased the size
and strength of the governmental
bureaucracy, who has condoned the
spOils tactics of a political machine
bent ON perpetuating itself in office.
If the people of the United States
wish to keep their feet on the ground.
II they want more saving and less
spending, fewer experiments and less
government in business, they will
follow the Landon banner. The Re
publicans could not have chosen a
candidate less like the President
than is the Kansas governor. The
issue is Roosevelt and the voters will
decide.

AMERICAN POLITICAL history
has Witnessed no stranger spectacle
than that offered by a President Of
the United States and his advisers,
big and little. plucking frantieally at
the coattails of the governor of the
Presidents own state and implOring
him to run for Office, just once more.

Inasmuch as Mr.. Landon has been
SO gracious in aeeeding to the Presi-
dents plea, it seems proper to make
one gentle suggestion to Mr.. RoOse-
welt: Would ii be kind or courteous
to say too much about economic

THE NEW DEAL PARTY has very
little to say about government finan-
ees. Evidently. the Administration
high command has decided that the
least said about taxes and debts and
deficits, the better.
Perhaps the figures are so vast as
To be beyond easy comprehension.
Moreover. we haven't begun paying
for the spree yet. The piper hasn't
asked for a settlement. And until
he does, government extravaganza
and deficits will remain more or less
academic subjects with most of us.
Therein lies the hope Of the New
Deal and the danger Of the country.
For the public debt and the public
rate of spending have reached truly
dangerous proportions.
II would be bad enough were we
to face no more than repayment Of
what we now owe. But nobody
knows how much more debt we will
have incurred before halt is called.
Reelection of Mr.. Roosevelt means
a continuation of this mad spending
spree; a staving off of the inevitable;
frantic clinging to a FOOLS paradise,
bought and maintained with bOr-
roWed funds. In the end, il means
disaster for millions of American
taxpayers.
The only hope of escape lies in a
complete hOusecleahing at Wash
ingtOn.

ROOSEVELT is OF a wealthy and
socially prominent family Of New
York. He was educated at GrotOn
and Harvard. He has held many pO-
litical positions, to all of which he
has been helped by his influential
connections. His personal intimates
are men of the Vincent Astor type.
Landon is of a sturdy, hard-wOrk-
ing. middle-class American family of
small means and less influence or
social pretensiOns. AS a boy, he
earned his living Juggling water to
pipeline gang. His education was
secured in the public schools and at
the University of Kansas. His busi-
ness has been that of an independent
oil producer. He has held but one
political job and that one he still has.
Roosevelt has never learned the
value of a dollar because he has
never had to earn one. He is
spender. with a typical politicians
viewpoint toward public funds.
Waste does not bother him; economy
and careful management are only
words to him.
Landon has earned every dollar
he has; as a result he is as careful
Of public money as he is OF his own.
He pays as he goes and demands that
everyone for whose acts he is re-
sponsible shall do the same.
Roosevelt has a remarkable flow
Of persuasive language. a charming
voice and manner, a good platform
presence and tremendous personal
magnetism These are his greatest
assets and he employs them with all
an actors skill.
LandOn is not a speechmaker.
When he speaks it is because he has
something to say. Having said it,
he stops. He does not care much
for the sound Of his own voice, pre-
ferring to let his actions do the talk
ing. He makes friends easily, but
with no conscious effort to impress
them.
Roosevelt is impetuOus, quick to /
act on a superficially attractive sug- |
gestion without study, analysis or
competent, neutral advice. LandOn
makes up his mind slowly and from
all possible sources of what he be-
lieVes to be reliable information.
When he has made it up he is hard

Roosevelt is visionary. devious.
OVer-optimistic. He is fluent prom

honest. He never makes a promise
without being certain he can keep it.
