THE HANDS THAT SHAPE
AMERICA

For many decades America mas
led the world in the development OF
new methods and new products that
tighten the labors, enrich the lives
and speed the progress OF humanity.
The motor-car, the motion-plc-
ture, the modern radio set, the
many uses of electricity in our daily
lives these are few of the new
er developments which American
enterprise and ingenuity have made
abailable to millions Of men and
women.
Aircraft, the newer plastic and
metal products, modern farm meth
DDS and machinery, oil in its multi
pie uses@these are few OF its
gifts to transportation and inrus-
try and production.
Who is responsible for these
achievements?
The politician, operating through
the slow hand of government? Or
the American citizen, working free
and unhampered to translate ideas
into practical reality-as did Edison
for example.
The answer is obvious.
The story of American achieve
ment is the story of many Edisons,
who, through their enterprise, their
practically and their success, have
given higher standards Of living
and greater opportunities for en-
ployment to millions of fellow-Work-
erS.
The story of politics and bureau
crazy has been the reverse. Too Oft
en- it has been story of barriers
planted in the paths of the men
who are laboring to carry Amerl-
can enterprise to its highest de-
velopments+ make ideas grow
into generous production and long
payrolls.
For the politicians and the bur-
eaucrats to assert that they, rather
than the workers and earnerS,
created our success is to jump the
claims of the very men who made
America and advanced the Ameri-
can people.
America in the past was built not
by its politicians, but by its people.
America in the present in the
future be shaped by the same
rk-hardened and capable hands.

WOMANS DILEMMA

A woman saw her husband slyly
fold a piece of paper and put it
away in the farthest corner Of the
top bureau wrawer. If he had care
lessly thrown it in, she would have
thought nothing of it. But she
asked: ''What's that?" And he an
swered, sheepishly, "Oh nothing"
She kept wondering what It was
which he said was of no import
ance. As soon as he was gone she
looked at 1t. This is what she read.
'E'l buy you that new hat you want
so much IL you are able to resist the
temptation and will leave this paper
alone"
Now she's In . pickle. How can
she claim the hat without giving
herself away? You answer It.

protection of their economic status
and personal safety. We will do our
best to further their employment in
the gainfully occupied life of Ameri-
ca, particularly in private industry,
agriculture, emergency agencies and
the Civil Service.
We condemn the present New Deal
policies which would regiment and ul-
timately eliminate the colored citizen
from the country's productive life,
and make him solely ward of the
Federal Government.
3. To our Indian population, we
pledge every effore on the part of the
national government to ameliorate liv-
ing conditions for them.
4. We pledge continuation TO the Re-
publican policy of adequate compen-
sation and care for veterans disabled
in the service of our country and for
their widows, orphans and dependents.
5. We shall use every effort to col
lect the war debt due US from foreign
countries amounting to $12,000,000,-
000-one-third of our national debt.
No effort has been made by the
present administration even to reopen
negotiations.
6. We are opposed to legislation
which discriminates against women in
Federal and State employment.
CONCLUSION.
We assume the obligations and du-
ties imposed upon government by mod
ern conditions. We affirm our unaltera-
BILE conviction that, in the future as in
the past, the fate of the nation will
depend, not so much on the wisdom
and power of government, as on the
character, and virtue, self-reliance, in
dustry and thrift of the people and on
their willingness to meet the respon-
siblities essential to the preservation
of free society.
Finally as our party affirmed
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1936-06-18

in its first platform in 1856:
Believing that the spirit of
our institutions as well as the
Constitution of our country guar
antees liberty of conscience and
equality of rights among our cit
liens, we oppose all legislation
tending to impair them, and we
invite the utilization and cCOpera-
ton of the men of all parties
however differing from us in other
respects, in support of the prin-
ciples herein declared"
The acceptance of the nominal
ton rendered by this convention car
ries with it, as a matter of private
honor and public faith, an under
taking by each candidate to be true
to the principles and program here
in set forth.

Revise the Federal tax system and
coordinate it with State and local tax
systems.
Use the taxing power for raising
revenue and not for punitive or politi-
cal purposes.
MONEY, BANKING.
We advocate a sound currency to be
preserved at all hazards.
The first requisite to sound and
stable currnecy is balanced budget.
We oppose further devaluation of
the dollar.
We will restore to the Congress the
authority lodged with it by the Con-
stitution to coin money and regulate
the value thereof by repeating all the
laws delegating this authority to the
Executive.
We will cooperate with other coun-
tries toward sterilization of curren-
cies as soon as we can do so with due
regard for our national interests and
as soon as other nations have sufficient
stability to justify such action.
FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
We pledge ourselves to promote and
maintain peace by all honorable means
not leading to foreign alliances or po-
litical commitments.
Obedient to the traditional foreign
policy of America and to the repeat
eddy expressed will of the American
people we pledge that America shall
not become member of the League
of Nations nor of the World Court,
nor shall America take on any entang-
ling alliances in foreign affairs.
We shall promote, as the best means
of securing and maintaining peace by
the pacific settlement of disputes,
the great cause Of international arbi-
tration through the establishment of
free, independent tribunals, which
shall determine such disputes in &C.
cordance with law, equity and justice.

Guiding air forces, adequate for our

 Princeton Still Picks Spots
 Opening with Washington, Min- nesota tackles Nebraska, Michigan, Purdue, Northwestern, Iowa, Texas at Austin, and Wisconsin. Fordhan is paired with Franklin and Mar shall, Southern Methodist, Waynes- burg, St. Mary's, Pittsburgh, Purdue, Georgia, and New York university.
 Pittsburgh is to meet Ohio Wesleyan, West Virginia, Ohio State, Duquesne, Notre Dame, Ford ham, Penn State, Nebraska, and Carnegie Tech.
 Starting with Notre Dame, Car- negie Tech takes on Michigan State, Temple, Holy Cross, Purdue, Du- quesne, and Pittsburgh.
 Princeton is one of the few re- maining major institutions which obviously still tries to pick its spots. It is for thtis reason that Fritz Crisler perhaps has received less credit than he was entitled to for the fine job he has done at Old Nassau.
 It was shame to see the last two or three Princeton classes be graduated with so little real foot ball under their belts.
 Princeton should get into the swing of things. Schedules are taken into consideration nowadays when laurels are distributed.

Position Play

Position Play
 As soon as a player has learned the fundamentals of stroke produ- ton, he should familiarize himself with the all-important rules which govern his position in court. He must learn when to advance itno an offensive position, and when to dror back into a defensive position.
 Every players position in court
 is governed somewhat by the
 position of his opponent, the "
 positoin of the ball, and any
 characteristics which have be-
 come evident concerning an ad-
 versary's style of play. Few be-
 ginners, however, realize the im-
 pOrtance of getting into position
 in between shots.
 For example, if you have just served, or have just received your opponents service, you should tm- mediately drop back to about five feet in back of your baseline, and in the middle of it. From this posi- ton you are ready to move either forward or backward, or to either side. If your adversary chooses tc draw you in to the net, get there play your return, and then move back quickly into your position be- hind the baseline. Of course, il your return is a forcing shot, caus- ing your opponent to retrieve it witt some difficulty, it is best that you remain at the net and voliey his re- turn.
 What is most important is, that you do not stand and watch the flight of your shots. Get back into position as quickly as possible, in- stead of waiting until the other player has hit the ball. Whenever you have been drawn far out oi court, play high deep lob to your adversary's backcourt, and get back to your position behind, and in the middle of your base-line.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-09-03

There is Q definite swing toward tougher football schedules among major colleges.
 It has been demonstrated that t does not pay to warm up against soft ones. The shock is too severe when the varsity bumps into the real article.
 Last season such Q keen observer and authority as Bernie Bierman of Minnesota gave Ohio States com paratively easy early season set-up as one of the principal reasons for the Buckeyes defeat at the hands of Notre Dame.
 Coaches have reached the conclu- sion that it is just as we'll to give their creations robust tests right from taw.
 The result is terrific encounters on the campaigns opening Satur- day afternoon, Sept. 26. Mighty Minnesota, unbeaten in three years, travels to Seattle that day to com bat Washington ina game likely to have as much bearing on the mythi- cal national championship as any other staged between then and early December.
 Both Bernie and Jimmy Phelan of the Huskies will know just where they stand after that one.
 On that same afternoon. and while the major baseball leagues are winding up their seasons, Col gate goes to Durham to engage Duke, Rice journeys to Baton Rouge to grapple with Louisiana State, Mississippi squares otf with Tulane in New Orleans, Ohio State has it out with Southern California in Los Angeles, and Tulsa deploys against Major Biff Jones' Oklahoma squad at Norman. Any of these contests would do quite well as "big" games anywhere in the land and much later in the grind.
 s One Big Battle After Another
 Big timers aren't even waiting for the following Saturday, Oct, 3, when the World Series will be on, to get back into the thick of things. Cer- tainly, Rice and Mississippi aren't wasting any time. Only six days alter combating Louisiana State, Rice takes the field against Du- onesna in a night game in Pitts b,irgh. And the array from or Miss, is remarkable halfback, Hapes, comes to grips with Temple in Philadelphia. That is what I call sandwiching in long strips between zeal battles.
