THE DEFICIT is EIGHTEEN BiLLioN
DOLLARS Z 9lLIiCT

The latest United States treasury state
ment brings the governments detle6 to 10
BILLION DOLLARS. i.v.L t2 Il
This is the sum of the deficit accumulat-
ed since 1881. The deficit has been. grow
ing at an increasing rate as the" years
passed and for the past fiscal year, or IL
months, the deficit amounted to FIVE Bill
LIONaDOLLARS. ..... -. III
Note that this statement deals with the
DEFICIT, not the total debt of the country
which is now above So BILLION DOL
LARsthe largest debt in the ceuntry's
history. coUi..?.
In private business the government def
cit would be written on the books as LOSS.
It represents the increase in the public
debt, the amount of money above income
which has been expended by the govern
ment.. g. d. ... .,.I. q , @u,c"r.
And right here may be stressed the fact
that political promises-platform and per
sonal-are absolutely worthless so long as
government action is diametricallY opposed
to said promises. a..
Promises to balance the budget are farci-
cal so long as the policy of wild spending
proceeds-and it does proceed, and &C
eording to the estimates of the administra-
TONS own treasury officials the end is not
in sight. $780,,
What the U. S. treasury officials see in
their department for the next II months is
an expense, account that will probably run
a deficit of THREE BILLION DOLLARS.
Thatiis their most optimistic estimate; but
previous experience leads certainly and in
evitably to the conclusion that if the pres
ent administration is continued in power,
three, billion dollars is a bagatelle in COM
parison with the money that will be squan-
dered and the actual deficit which will be
heaped up. ...... ,....... ....i.

THE GREAT OMISSION

There is scarcely a blessing of God that the
American people have enjoyed in the last three
years that the Democratic platform does not claim
as benefit conferred by the Roosevelt admins
tration and there is nothing left unpromsed in it
that would appeal to every group, class, age, con-
dtion poor rich white and black, on election day.
If ever it is possible to fool all the people all the
time, this platform should do the job.
The only thing as bad or worse that has come
under the eye of The News and Courier is the Re-
publican platform adopted in Cleveland.
The best that can be said for the Democratic
platform is that since the reputation of the plat
form of 1882 and the campaign speeches of Mr..
Roosevelt in that year no one is expected to take
it seriously.
The most interesting feature of the platform is
its Great Omission.
Not word is said about the increase of the
public debt by thirteen or fourteen thousand mil
lions of dollars.
There is no mention that the debt is now higher
than ever it was in the history of the country in
war or peace.
There is no mention that the banks hold four
teen billion dollars of government bonds that they
are Storage houses for bonds" that the principal
work of the administration has been to create a
bond-holding class for whom the rest of the people
and their children and grandchildren, stretching
long into the future as Banquos line, are expected
to toll And on these bonds the holders pay nomi-
nal taxes or no taxes. 49,. $500
takes are paid in the sweat of every man who
labors." Those are the true words of Franklin
Roosevelt
Seventy cents of every dollar paid in federal
taxes last year from indirect taxes paid, not
by the rich, but by the workers in shops, in fac

PHILADELPHIA. - P er h a p
there are further chapters in
the saga of Al Smith. At the
moment, however, it appears that
the end has been written in Phil
adelphia by the party whose
standard he once bore so proudly.
1t is sad tale, because it winds
up in an atmosphere of hate. The
rancor in Al Sm!in's soul toward
Franklin D. Roosevelt has been
obvious for a long time. The rea-
sons for that also seemed to be
plain.
What was much more aStonish-
ing was the wave of venom to-
ward Smith which swept the bulk
of delegates and officials at the
Democratic national convention.
They seemed to have doubled
and then redoubled their resent
ment against me man who eight
years ago led them in. d gallant
but hopeless battle against reli-
gious prejudice and old-faShioned
conservatism.
The telegram from Ssriith and
four other anti-New Deal Demo-
Gratis, demanding defeat of Roose-
welt here, bounced and fell, like a
soggy bread-pellet against a res
taufant wall, before chorus of
Scoffing and scorn.
Not a voice was raised in its.
favor. .

T'HE extreme bitterness toward
Smith. comes largely from two
groupS: =.
1.-THE liberals, of VARYING
shades of political idealiSm. who
once regarded Smith as a white
nope of progress ivism and
swarmed behind him in emotional
heat. now Just as emotional
against him, because he not only
has deserted them for the con-
servativeS, but also seeks to de-
stroy their new white hone

BEHIND THE SCENES

Wnlcn considers smith a Iurncoar
who, after being given all the
honors party could bestow, is
now perfectly willing to tip over
the feed-boX and all the feeders
thereat to work Of; a personal
grudge. THIS group includes some
southern Democrats who risked
their political lives for Smith in
1923.
And of course there's continual
comment, often heard among
other Irishmen, to the effect that
Smith, poor boy from the side
walks of New York, has shaken
off the background which made
him such romantic and appeal
ing figure to stooge in a high hat
for the wealthy Liberty Lea suers.
THE general. attitude of hostility
was not unanimous here, of
course. Various politicians just as
conservative as Smith, including
some southern senators, privately
admitted that they felt much as
Al did about Roosevelt and the
New Deal, although expediency
prevented them from admitting it
But the top party Strategists in
sisted-sincerely, if a moderately
experienced reporter can judge
that AIS denunciations did the
Roosevelt cause more good thar
harm and actually, because of the
change in popular reaction tc Al
meant more Democratic votes.
If any realization Of this come:

loved idol of great masses in hi.

sour.

mother walked to Oakda.e come;
terry, where her children and 9TH
ers dear to her were buried. The
main purpose of her visit was
that of identifying the graves,
working and watering the thirsty
flowers. But she didn't do that.
Instead, she stood over the graves
of her loved ones and wept be-
cause of the depravity Of people,
their rascality, their thievishness,
and their vandalism.
The vandals had not only de-
stroyed some flowers in which
she took great pride because of
their superior beauty and quality,
but had pulled up the roots. This
lady, who was intent on beautify-
ing the cemetery by contributing
the choicest of her plants, de-
SPARED of the Job and in hope
lessness and disgust transplanted
all the plants to the yard Of her
home.
That's a sad comment on the
depravity of our people.

FOUR SHORT YEARS

Hear! Hear! 1t has been long time since the
following opinion or one anywhere near like it
expressed publicly by anybody whose future as a
public man was linked inseparably with that of
Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Democratic party.
Which makes this complaint of Senator Bailey all
the more independent in thought and courageous in
utterance -". CO.,.
I'VE need simpffed form of government. The
so-called Progressives have loaded this country
down with all sorts Of institutions and regulations.
We need simplfed form of government, so that
the average man and woman can &C" about their
work without having Uncle Sam stick his nose into
their business every ten minutes
We quite agree and did at the time Senator Bal
ley said it. But, alas! that was four years ago,
when the Republicans we're in charge. Since then
Senator Bailey has been swept along on a tidal
wave of Progressivism, otherwise known as the
New Deal, some time quantity called Democracy It
is within the limitless bounds of possibility, of
course, that in the beginning Senator Bailey held
a narrow view and that only since coming under
the benign Influence of the New Deal has he seen
the light. If that is what has happened why, then,
Senator Baey's philosophy will have to be revised
to exalt a more complex form Of government, the
loading down Of the country with new and unheard-
of varieties of institutions aid regulations and the
desirability of having Uncle sam stick his nose
where it doesn't belong every five minutes instead
of every ten.--Charlotte News "'@h - .- =. e.

MANY centuries ago the city
-' Baalbek, in Syria, became tn,
capital of sun-Worshiping nation
Richly adorned palaces, gloriou
fountains, and beautiful monu
nents expressed the city's wealth
and prominence. A vast tempt,
was built to Baal, the sun-god
and another to eBacchus, god o
pleasure.
The Greeks came and built
statue to Zeus inside the grea
temple. Then came the Romans
and soon the city fell into ruins
Christianity arose, and wars witt
the Arabs and the Turks followed
The city was pillaged completed,
in 400, and the ruins were al
lowed to crunble. Today, only
few signs remain of the ancient
vast, and wealthy nation. And tn,

SAFE ELIMIMANT FOR WOMEN ON DIET; RE. STORES VITAMIM BAL. ANCE WHILE REMOV-
 ING WASTE MATTER

Dieting often disturbs the needed vitamin balance in the system and often depletes the vitamin supply. Many laxatives tend to increase this loss by carrying along vitamins as they leave the system. Research by Chicago Laboratory produced VITA-MIN-OL, a mineral oil laxa- tive containing Vitamins A, D. & b. which does not detract from vitamin balance, but supplies vita mins to fortify any loss. Particular while it does not detract from re- duction in weight, it supplies re- sistance building vitamins, while aiding elimination. We offer VITA MIN-OL at special introductory price, 79c. Try it.
