AMERICANISM, UNLIMITED
christian Science MonitOrl

Governor Landon on Saturday gave an ap-
propriate definition of Americanism when he
said, 1T means not only deep love of liberty
and Justice, but courage to face the dangers
and responsibilities that go with liebrty" Free
dom of enterprise" and freedom from the CO.
ercive hand of government" he added, dis
tinctiye features of the American way of living.
This opening declaration of the Republican
presidential candidate in his eastern campaign
was a sound statement of fundamentals and
fundamentals are necessarily general in their
terms These generalzationS confirm the i'm
preston OF the Kansas executive a plain,
practical with traditional and tested
point of view. They will mean much or little
to his various listeners according experience
and outlook invest his general words with spe
cific meaning.
There is little to which his opponents may
take exception. There is little in fact, which
they might not say Or have not said, except
that it would be strange to impute to President
Roosevelt personally the "defeatism" against
which Mr.. Landon trained his guns. 1t is true
that some apologists for the administration
have reasoned that freedom must be sac
rificed for the sake of security. But this has
not been accepted official doctrine unless by
implication in the social insurance and relief
programs Had Governor Landon followed his
original intent to speak about social security
on this occasion, the nation might have known
more particularly wherein he differs from the
regime in Washington.
That however may come later. So also one
hopes, may come specifications for that remedy
for monopoly and special privilege which as ne
said consists of doing away with them. He
asks How can it be said that we have over
production when many Americans are badly
fed badly clothed and badly housed?' Ihe
explanation evidently lies in underdtstribution
To make production worth while the channels
must be open for the products to reach the
consumer.

News Behind the News
Literary Digest Poll :. Landon Ex-
pected to Get Early Lead . Demos
Rely On Theory =.

NEW YoRK-Political headquarters in
tional campaigns queer hodgepodges OF ex-
treme optimism, sporadic peSSimism, nerves,
jealousies strokes OF genius, prima donnaS,
sprinters racing in circles, overworked COM
petent employees assisted by many folk who
"had to be taken care Of, rumors, and almost
uncanny absences of coordination
The Democrats have their national head
quarters in New York City. Republicans have
theirs in Chicago, and also an important east
ern headquarters in New York under Congress
man Joseph w Martin, Jr, of Massachusetts
with as much office space as the Democrats
have.
Everyone in the metropolis gets excited over
grapevine reports from Chicago that COP. ma
tional offices are in bad shape with jealousy
and pickering rife.
But the Democratic general staff seems at
least equally far from efficiency. Personalities
enter in when it appears sometimes difficult
to get good to work there because OF
belief that when you work under Jim Farley
you tend to become a sort of glorifed office
boy, with little or no authority
One rumor, accepted in both camps, is that
tabulation of the first $4,000 votes in the Liter
ary Digest's presidential poll will show Landon
leading Roosevelt by a much more substantial
majority than in any other sZable poll thus lar.
The Democrats rely heavily upon the theory
that none of the polls accurately covers a GER
tain group of voters in the very low income
groups which should be expected to vote heavily
for the New Deal.
Polls have transformed political campaign
thinking They are mentioned, usually "off the
record" at practically every press conference
held by Martin Farley.
They are watched closely by Emil Hurja, as
sistant to Farley who keeps a private poll Tor
the Democratic committee.
This years Hurja poll is highly confidential
but it is reported that it now gives Roosevelt
slight edge.
Watch out for a new organization which
will profess to have sprung up spontaneously and
which will announce it has been formed to de-
fend the federal deposit guarantee systm.
This will simply be part of new Democratic
effort to meet the fear campaign" OF the Re-
publicans (taxes, preservation of the Constitu-
tion personal liberties, and so on) with another
fear campaign"

THE INNOCENTS DIE

Americans read with horror the lurid
stories from Spain of a conflict taking
an average of perhaps 1000 lives a day.
At least 10000 are dead in Spain in
the death struggle that is now more than
a month old.
Horrible! Yet in the last seven months
1850 Americans have also been killed,
violently, their blood crimsoning the
pavements, their mutilation and agonies
no less sickening and sharp.
They are just as dead as their Span
ish brothers, without even such salts
faction as there may be in dying for
cause.
They are the traffic victims. If their
toll increases during the latter part OF
the year. as it usually does, then the
casualty list will be higher this year
than ever before. Last year $1,000 died,
probably greater cost in life than the
Spanish revolt told to date
This in spite of widespread safety
drives and a mass of publicity for high
way safety that has not been equaled
in many years.

VALLEY MISSES BET
IN DERBY VISITORS

During the past week, the trans-con-
tinental Chatterton air derby from Cleve-
land to San Diego was in progress. 1t
attracted the attention of the American
public. In comparatively short daily
flights, airplane contestants made their
progress across the country, and news
papers everywhere carried daily stories
of the flight.
The flyers had an overnight stop at
Tucson, flying Thursday morning to
Yuma where they stopped for lunch,
and then completed the trip. to San
Diego in the afternoon.
1t is to be regretted that Imperial
Valley did not arrange for our county
airport to be the monday stopping place
before the dash to San Diego on the
final lap. 1t is only about so air-miles
farther from Tucson than Yuma, and
offered logical resting place from
which to determine the condition over
San Diego, so often fog-bound.
Imperial Valley is doing all in its
power to attract nationwide favorable
attention, and this, with the resultant
wide publicity, was an opportunity over
looked.
There is no use crying over spilled
milk but we should profit by keeping
alert to all such opportunities which
might offer themselves in the future.

THE OLD SAYING
PROVED WRONG

Ben F. Cheek of Clinton, Ind, is the
latest to prove wrong the old belief that
you can't teach old dogs new tricks
Ben Cheek is SO years old, and al
though he took up the sport of trap shoot
ing less than a year ago, he walked off
with all the prize-winning honors at the
Grand American tournament at Dayton
the other day. To make his performance
all the more brilliant, Cheek accom-
plished his task with-not specially
constructed trap gun as most of the eX-
perts use-but an old automatic which
he bought for $40.
Most of us thrill to hear of instances
of this sort, and there are many record
ing real accomplishments by those on
the other side of middle life. Such cases
act as examples to stimulate confidence
and effort, regardless of age.
