who have bitterly fought a local
Democratic ring, are enjoying
federal benefits disbursed by the

but YOU can make a good Demo

What is warmer to the weary
farmers sight, -,
When late returning in the cold
November light,
From fields Of shriveled stalks
and golden corn
That have felt the frost of early
morn,
To see on yonder hill, above the
pines,
\ curling thread Of silver smoke
outlined
Against the wintery sky.
What matters that the solemn
woods are bare,
And only snow birds flutter here
and there,
While high on mountain tops the
flUrrics fall,
And weird, comes a lone COW $
moaning call.
IT'S then, through mist and frosty
twilight haze,
The farmer sees a glowing cheer
full blaZe,
And silently lifts his weary heart
in prayer ~
For all the loving comforts walt

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
PUNIsHING CHAIN STORES

One minor but significant election result was the
defeat in the California referendum of the license
tax on chain stores running up to $500 unit ms
was clearly punitive and not revenue-ralsing
tax. as it applies to the chains alone and not 10
their competitors. The California Chain Store AS
sociation therefore decided to take advantage OF
the States referendum statute to secure suffi-
cient number of signatures to put the question dl-
rectly up to the voters 1t is instructive TO nouce
that the voters not only favored the repeal OF the
tax but that the largest majorties in favor OF re-
peal came from the rural districts. 1t IS true that
this rural support appears to have been secured III
part by the cooperation of the chains IN making
their facilities available for the marketing OF sur
plus crops but the result is none the less impressive
in view of the argument that the small towns eSpe-
cially resent chains because they nJure the local
merchants and are managed by outsiders
This appears to be the first time that this par
ticular question has been submitted to dlrect
popular statewide vote. The result does not prove
that the voters lack sympathy with the problems
of the small independent storekeepers but 1t does
indicate that the majority of them are aware OF
their gains as consumers through the economies
that the chains have made possible. If the indepen-
dents, by progressive storekeeping or cooperative
buying, can compete more successfully with the
chains, the California voters will doubtless give
every support to their efforts; but those voters
know that punitive tax chain stores will either
drive such stores out of business force them TO
raise their prices to pay it, and in either case con-
sumers must suffer.
The legislators of some twenty states which now
impose special taxes on chain stores should study
the implications of this California referendum
carefully They should ask themselves whether
they have not been deceived by the agitation of or
carnations representing small storekeepers into
believing that the opposition to chain stores is
much wide rthan it really is The referendum, also,
the hope that the ill-advised Patman-
Robinson act. rushed through with no adeuate de-
bate in the final days of the last session of con-
yress. will be sharply revised or replaced.--New
York Times.

THAT MANDATE

The point that we are attempting to make and
emphsiaze is that Mr.. Roosevelt receives his COM
mission and his mandate, whatever it may be, from
the American people, all of them. His 25,OoO'ooO'
more or less, popular vote transcends labor, farm
or any other lines. Along with this expression in
his own favor, there approximately l5,OOo,ooo
American citizens who voted against him. Yet ne
is their president: they are part and parcel of the
national picture, the national welfare and the ma
tional problem. To preserve democracy, II for no
other reason, minorites are still to be regarded,
protected and respected in this land of the free
and home of the brave.
Mr.. Roosevelt is not labor president or agrcul-
lures president. He is the nations president, re-
sponsible for and accountable to every citizen, the
only high official upon whom all the people vote.
That indeed, it seems to us, is the most SOLDERING

KEEPING CLEAN IN POLITICS

Before an election, such as we have just expert
enced, people let their determination to win run
away with their better judgment in some instances.
On tn etheory that in war, politics, and love there
is no right and wrong, people lose their heads and
resort to methods that would seem repugnant in
other dealings with our fellow men. 1t is most un-
fortunate that such theory should ever have been
written and spoken People can be honest and de-
cent in elections as much in other matters, and
they should be- We see from the papers that both
parties in Henderson county used invalid absentee
ballots, an investigation showed. Often, when the
smoke of the battle has lifted, it is found that the
dishonest deals accomplished not their purpose
Far better to lose honestly than to win dshones'y
Personally we would like to see the absentee oai'
lot outlawed as we'll as some other dirty pfae'ices

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN THE CAMPAIGN

better than another, you may care
20 recall that after 1882 there
were many plausible wiSecrackS
that parties and states might well
save themselves the expenses of
elections and let the Literary Di-
gest do the job.
MANY OF Gov. All Landon's
1'A friends are reasonably sure
that in 1888 he will run for the
". S. Senate seat Of Democratic
Senator George McGill Of Wichita.
II has been automatic in Kansas
that any 1888 Republican nominee
could beat McGill. This feeling
isn't as strong as it was before the
recent landslide, but it persists.
There is also talk to the effect
that John D. NJ. Hamilton may
seek the senatorial nomination in
Kansas two years hence. A con-
test between Hamilton and Lam
don would be interesting, but il
is hardly conceivable.
ALI is more popular that John,
, but the latter would bow himself
out if Landon actually wanted to
run. In fact. if both men were
to seek the nomination it is good
bet that both would be licked.
Former Gov. Clyde M. Reed OF
Parsons is understood to be want
ing that nomination for himself,
Reed has no liking for Hamilton
nor any love for Landon. The
! latter was his campaign manager
when Reed was nominated for
governor over Hamilton in 1929
and subsequently elected.
Reed slapped at Hamilton pub.

down. 1t seems that in many places there was the
idea that the President wanted these amendments
and in they went. This was especially true about
the amendment increasing the number, of members

WASHINGTON - PoSt-mortemS
" over failure of big polls
and individual representations
to forecast the Roosevelt land
slide have been in order for
several days. Such cohesion OF
opinion as there is seems to sub
Stantiate this writer's deduction
that the big difference was due to
what might aptly be described as
the "grunt" vote.
Anyone who Travelled around a
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,
pullman porters, and similar
groups whom all noSey amateur
and professional pulse-feelers
conscientiously quiz. But they all
were celebrating election night
and the day after.
Other wage earnerS and white
collar workers obviously con-
cealed their sentiments for rea-
sons 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 dispatches.
And it seems reasonable now 10
believe that all this "grun; 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
