DICTATOR

According to the arrangements,
it's all very simple. Having shown
with the AAA and the NRA how
agriculture and industry can be
regimented, it is pointed out that
within the next four years quite a
turnover is expected in the
Supreme Court personnel.
Should the turnover result in
appointment of men more sym
pathetic to New Deal policies, an
other attempt will be made to
push through the same policies un-
der another tag. Finally, through
Federal patronage and insistent
paternalism. the States will grad,
ually lose their sovereignty and,
call it what you will, there will be
but one State with one executive
who could very easily get third
term, and in eight years-weil?

Duty of Tolerance

The address which Governor Landon delivered yester-
day on tolerance good citizenship and the preservation
of peace was meant for and will appeal to an audience
larger than the American Legion of Kansas before which
the candidate spoke.
IN IT'S EXPRESSION OF THE FUNDAMENTALS
OF DECENCY 1T VOICES THE CONVICTIONS OF
AMERICANS GENERALLY AND SHOULD DO MUCH
TO CORRECT UNFORTUNATE TENDENCIES
WHICH HAVE CROPPED UP HERE AND THERE.
AS Governor Landon pointed out the "fOmenting of
racial feeling is not serious yet. 1t IUOHLd De
traqtc if it should become serious"
Governor Landon told his buddies of World War
DAYS that they must let the duties of peace time pass
out of mind and he correctly listed as the first OF these
duties that Of tolerance.
Said the Governor:
at Ouqht not to be necessary to stress tolerance
in America We haze a great tradition OF tOLer-
ance 0rO1Uiru out of the fundamentals of past.
Our fOrebears came of different stocks, different
religions
"Men of every nation, every cIin'e-untted in
building this country. PrOtestants, Catholics,
Jevs, lUOrked here side by side, good neighbOrS,
qoOd citizens. No other nation has such a back
ground.
"But of late there has been disquieting evidence
of attempts to stir up racial GntGgOntSn1s. This is
due in part suppOSe to the influence of the per-
scouting spirit that has broken out in certain ma
tiOns in Europe.
"The American Legion is a cross section OF
America. 1t is made up of men of all stocks and
creeds But, houeUer different our original stock
may haze been the great lVGr taught US to like
and respect each other, as good soldiers and as
good Americans WE ARE, THEREFORE, IN
A POSITION AND WE HAVE THE RESPON-
SIBILITY TO OPPOSE EVERY MOVE TO
CAPITALIZE INTOLERANCE; TO BREAK
UP THE COUNTRY INTO HOSTILE GROUPS.
Also lUe must insist upon the preservation and
protection of American freedom, and above all the
freedom of expression. So long as IUe have free

And by then I had already made
these plans to spend the week end
with Miss Weber"
Miss Weber? The name doesn't
sound so formidable. What else do

Pre-war, did you Say?"
"Oh, let's not waste any time on
Miss Weber. There are so many other

That's in the lap Of the gods.

The rendezvous in question was
one Of New York's ultra smart night
clubs. All ages and many different
types were there gathered in the in
terests of pleasure.
Looking at her, Lee thought it
might as well be tonight as any
other night. Only he would be very
subtle about it. The young man Of
today was more careful in the word

his father.

how he rated in her affections.
Take tonight, for instance. He had
made a special trip to New York for
the sole purpose OF seeing Kay and
she made no better arrangement for
the week end than to stay with a
spinsterish and evidently half-crazed
friend of her mothers. Just the fact
that some Don Juan of her youthful
days proved to be q wolf in Sleeps
disguise was no reason for barring all
succeeding Don Juans. It was crazy,
1t was illogical.
He wasn't going to let himself be q
pawn in such circumstances. He would
insist on his masculine prerogative,
escort her home and enroute give her
the sounder-outer. His mind was
made up. Thus should 1t be.

Thomas 8. Holden, vice president
Of the F. w. Dodge Corp, contends
that "a home building program which
keeps to low-cost houses promises
much more stability than an upward
surge Of luxury housing"
Apparently the tendency Of our
operative builders usually has been to
start producing houses to sell at very
moderate prices at the beginning of
