SOUR BOY"

There was something at once pOig
nant and prophetic in the return of
Alf Landon to West Middlesex. Pa,
his birthplace.
Here, in the quiet Pennsylvania
countryside. this man of humble or
igin held counsel with those old
friends and neighbOrs whose advice
and influence had been largely re
sponsible for the qualities which had
lifted him to heights of which every
worthwhile American boy dreams.
To the corps of journalists who
accompanied him, and to thousands
Of other visitors and well-wishers,
the center of attraction was Gov
ernoT ALI NJ. Landon, of Kansas, the
man of destiny to whom an harassed
nations turns for guidance.
To the folks of West Middlesex it
was "a visit from our boy Alf," the
lad who had habit of finishing what
he started; whose curiosity as a
yOungster had contributed so large
ly to the development of the mind
and determination which had car
Tied him upward.
WIN lut uJleT SlmpiiClIy lldt
marks his daily life now. as 1t did
during the years preceding his nom
ination. "Alf" spent the day IA
visitin" with those with whom he
shares a mutual and lasting affec-
tion and respect. From 91-year-Old-
Uncle Willie Padden and Lizzie" his
mothers old hired girl, he sought
and found advice and comfort, and
as he sat in the old red brick church
with Aunt Emmy" and "Uncle Bill"
he heard from the lips of the pastor
what seemed to be a prophecy:
81 believe the GaliIean, whose
birth was heralded by angels, will
not forsake Christian civilization
believe that power viii be
placed in the hands Of men who can
be utilized of God"

HOW TO ACHIEVE AN
"ELECTRIFIED AMERICA

J. F. Owens. President of the Ok
laboma Gas and Electric Company,
recently made an interesting com
parison of private and municipal
electric plant rates in his state.
Sixty-one Oklahoma towns are
served by municipal plants, and the
balance by a private system. On the
aVerage-without making any allow
ance for taXes-the municipal plants
charge 6 per cent more for a month
ly consumption of rs XVIII than does
the private utility, 20 per cent more
for 100 XVIII, and 35 per cent more
for $50 XVIII
When allowance is made for taxes
municipal plants being practically
taX-free, while private utilities are
among the most heavily taxed of all
businesses-the difference becomes
still more glaring. On this basis. for
25 XVIII municipal plant rates aver
age % per cent higher; for 100 XVIII,
4S per cent higher; and for $50 XVIII,
SIS per cent higher.
This comparison, Mr.. Owens add
ed, is completely fair and honest. In
order to assure that, he did not
bring into his averages the rates
charged by the private utility in
communities of more than $4,000,
which would have given 1t an even
more favorable showing.
It is of exceptional interest that
the rate differential in favor of the
private system grows greater, in the !
higher consumption brackets. It is |
on bringing more families into these /
brackets that attainment of the goal
of an electrified America"-advo-
Gated so strongly by many govern
ment officials-depends. The statis-
tics indicate that the solution to
whatever power problem exists does
not lie in building additional muni-
,ipal plants, but in encouraging the
private utility industry so that II
nay sell more power, and thus fur
her reduce its already low rate
structure.

HOME Town BOY MAKES GOOD

Fifteen hundred home folks" In
West Middlesex, Pa, found them
selves swamped last week with over
100000 Visitors" not the least OF
which was a popular hometown boy,
called "Alf." He had come all the
way from Kansas, where he has been
Governor of the State for four years.
He'd travelled on a special train, with
every utterance and act carefully
chrOnicled by ten thousand news
papers. Many of his talks were
broadcast so that hundreds of mil
lions might know his thoughts.
When he spoke on the Tam-O-Shan-
ter golf links nearby, he spoke as
the Grand Old Party's candidate for
the Presidency. Fully half the peO-
pie in the land believe he will be the
next President of the United States.
Yet Middlesex folks noted that he
was just the same Alf" he had been
on many previous visits; that
"Aunty' Baird bossed him just as
she did some 40 years ago. He took
his Aunt Emmy" and Uncle Bill to
church, where he sat as boy, under
his grandfather Mossman's Methodist
doctrine, and famed them both with
a palm-leaf fan. He seemed to take
pleasure in finding the "Old home !
stead" and the 100-year-old red-brick |
church unchanged" He mapped, af- |
ter Sunday dinner. in the bedroom |
of the old manse where he was born.
He paid special attention to his
mothers old neighbors, to Lizzie"
who'd helped" her. to the lady who
gave him the chicken pox," to 81
year old Uncle Willie Padden who
,ame over from Greenville. He
hook off the swarm of reporters and
photographers, to go "visitin'
round" all Sunday afternoon. and
enew old acquaintances.
He seemed unconscious of his new ,
Importance. His manners were as
modest as any hometown boys. His
'reat theme at the speaking" to
10000 in the audience and to 1885,
10000 unseen radio fans, who simp- ,
the ancient American slogan of ;
liberty, and freedom from dictators ,
n government. That was the Amer
'an creed of his fore fathers. It was ,
he topic of the day.
And those who knew the speaker.
new he knew what it was all
bout and that when he made a ,
romise he kept it. and that he would 9
tick to the American way of life" 9
hey knew his common sense would i
uffice in any American difficulty. r
hey knew the home town boy who'd =
lade good in Kansas. during the y
arkest days of depression. will also d
lake good in Washington. for AZ +
ther states as we'll. They knew his i
merican policies will succeed where
hose of the communistic New Deal Il
RS have failed. -

THEY SAID THE SAME THINGS
OF LINCOLN 49,.

"Just rail splitter" was the com
. monest description given Of Abraham
! Lincoln, as the Republican party's
presidential candidate. "Just the
, governor of a typical prairie state"
has now become the ordinary slight
ing description of Governor Land0n.
And the Broadway smart-alecks are
manufacturing new jeers and jibes
for wholesale distribution all over
the country.
Always the idea" is to belittle the
western candidate in the eastern
cities; to discount the wisdom and
understanding and ability of the
small-town candidate in the big
towns of the nation. Questions are
asked with sneering infections.
Risque stories are manufactured
with murderOus intent.
And yet-all through history, the
ablest. strongest and greatest of our
leaders have sprung from homes
close to the soil-beginning with
that farmer, George Washington.
University braintrusters, in 1861,
belittled Lincoln, yet he out-thOught
the best of them. The famous EV-
erett's formal GRAFTON at Gettysburg
was soon forgotten. while Lincoln's
informal talk has become a world
priced gem of thought.
The Roosevelt New Dealers, with
their brain trust, spent S32,6OO mill
lions with experiments" for saving |
the nation. Governor LandOn in the !
same four years, used Old-fashioned |
rules of efficiency and economy and |
kept every prOmise-in Kansas
that the New Dealers broke in Wash
ingtOn. Where Roosevelt nearly
ruined the credit of a nation, Lam
don established first class credit for
a drOuth-stricken state that had not
had normal wheat crop in four
years.
Wisdom is not limited to universi-
ties. Common sense cannot be had
for the asking. Theories that look
the best often work the worst. And
country boys can be found dominat-
ing the biggest business in the
world.
Lincolns biographer. Carl Sand
burg, writes:
He was a slow man in important
decisions, slow at getting started"
Those who deplore Governor Ian
don's slow campaign start might al
so consider that many a slow be-
ginning brings the strongest ending.
The epithets now being hurled at
Governor Landon will make him
more friends than enemies. Lincoln d
was the most violently abused presi-
lent we ever had, Yet his virtues.
'ounded on seven months of school
ng. rank highest in our history.
If this nation wants a man, rather
han radio croOner; if our people
'reter producer to poseur-they
will do well to watch this man, All
Landon. His career has been
much like Lincoln's.

PROGRESS

President ROOsevelt's administra.
tion of relief has accomplished these
major objectives:
I. It has increased the number
of persons on relief rolls.
2. II has raised the cost of relief
administration, both as to total cost
and per capita cost.
In the early part of 1893, there
were 100000 persons in the Unit
ed States receiving federal relief in
one form or another Now-accord-
ing to figures released by the DEM
ocratic National Committee and
surely that agency wouldn't exag-
geTate-the Roosevelt relief rolls
have skyrocketed to 25,0O0, 900.
This may he Roosevelt progress,
but its gives no assurance TO the
man who wants to get off of relief
There is no future on relief or the
WPA. There is no possibility of an
advance in pay, better job, nor any
of the things that an American fam
lily should have. Oh ye. there are
better jobs. but the political favor
ties get them.
There is. however. one way to
knock out this cockeyed system.
That is to vote for LandOn and
Knox. They will help make it pos
sible for business to pick up the un-
load.
That's what we mean when we cali
them practical liberals. They are
just as kindly intentioDed as Roose-
welt but vastly more experienced,
and practical They can
fulfill the promises he makes.
