TRAINING THE MEMORY

Too much attention is given in
schools to developing the powers OF
memory. and too little to training
the reasoning gift. was the state
ment made at a recent conference of
prominent. school executives at Chi
cago.
The old-time school devoted long
days to training memory. Pupils
recited whole pages out of books, re-
gardless whether they understood
them or not. Many of those old
timers could remember. but they
could not think. They could not take
a chapter out of a history or geogra-
ply and tell the story in condensed
form in their own words.
Yet memory is a gift of high value.
The person who has a brain well
stored with facts has a mine of in
formation. from which he can prove
his points and illustrate his ideas.
People should not learn to think so
deeply. that ideas and observations
pass out of their minds as quickly as
they come in.
Milford chronicle., 1936-10-16
COURTESY OF THE PUBLIC

Some people expect to make a sue
cess in the business world. while
showing very little courtesy. They
will stand talking. for instance, with
friend while some customer is
waiting to be served. If you make
any request Of them they answer in
a snappish way. and they will not
stand the slightest criticism with
out getting mad.
Such ways have always been con-
demned by the business people of
Milford. They instruct their helpers
to go the limit to show the utmost
courtesy possible. They receive
criticism as if one was doing them
a favor. and thank people who offer
any kind of comments on their goods.
They never allow a discourteous
word to be said in their places of
business. Young people who desire
to work in these stores and offices
should realize that these are the
Of the town, to which they
must conform.

HOW SOME FOLKS LIVE

An exchange tells about the mar
who said he spent 80 per cent of his
money for rent, 80 per cent for cloth
ing. 40 per cent for food. and 20 per
cent for amusement He was re-
minded that that added up to 100
per cent. He(indicated that is how
he usually came out.
The above is no joke, many credit
ors will say. There are a certain
number Of people who always spend
more than they earn. The balance
is supplied by stores, landlords. and
friends, who give them credit or
lend them money, but are not paid
in full. Many of these people buy
things they do not really need. If
such people are entitled to charity
it should be furnished by the COM
munity as a whole, and not loaded off
onto few people who do business
with them. If they should not have
charity. they aren't entitled to credit

NEW DEALERS pretend to be
shocked by the Republican statement
that, after three years of New Deal
credit imitation and money-making,
no life-insurance policy and no saw
ings account is safe. They call it
scare-mongering.
Then what was it when Mr.. Roose-
welt, in 1882, said the federal govern
ment was on the road to bankruptcy? q?
Was that care-mongering?
What was it when in 1882, he de-
scribed federal prodigality and ex-
travagance as a danger to "the entire
banking, savings and insurance sys-
TEN of the country"
If, in 1882, with a debt of $22.OOO,-
100000, we were on the road to
bankruptcy. where are we now. with
a debt of $4,000, 100000?
If, as Mr.. Roosevelt said, the def
cit of the Hoover administration
were a peril to our basic security,
what are the enormously greater
deficits of the Roosevelt administra-
ton?
Is it scare-mongering to refer to
the 59-cent Roosevelt dollar? Or to
mention that all those who took out
insurance policies or opened savings
accounts in terms of our old dollar
have already suffered a loss in gold
value of Al per cent?
Is it -mongering to repeat the
words of Senator Carter Glass. the
Democrat who said in
the Senate a little over year ago
that "a depression of 10 per cent in
government bonds would render in
solvent 80 per cent of the banks of
this country?"
If this is indeed what New Dealers
mean by scare-mongering, then the

DAVID LAWRENCE, who is max
ing political survey of the country
in one of his recent dispatches points
out that the success of Gov. Landon's
campaign depends upon the common
people of the country.
They are the folks who live in the
country and in the small towns.
They are honest, GOd-fearing peO-
pie who furnish the backbone and
stability of the nation. They are not
subject to the selfish influences of
vicious party machines. which have
made the Americans right to vote
matter of political barter.
Unless the people on the farms and
in the small cities and towns rise
en- masse to meet the dangers of this
situation. it is possible that political
bosses in seven states. in spite of
the widespread wishes of the peo-
pie, may determine the election re-
suits, according to Mr.. Lawrence.
He shows that these political
bosses in seven states can swing the
votes in the large cities indicated,
and thereby influence the 16S cleo
toral votes. The lineup is some
thing like this:
MissOuri-Kansas City. Pendergast
is votes;
Illinois Chicago. Kelly-Nash - 90 |
votes;
Massachusetts Boston, Curley-17 |
votes;
Maryland Baltimore, jackson IS
votes;
New York-New York City, Tam
many, DOOling-47 votes;
Pennsylvania Philadelphia Pitts
burgh, GufTy-S6 votes;
New Jersey-Jersey City, Hague
16 votes.
Now" Mr.. Lawrence points out
i'it is not accurate to say that the
above bloc of 16S electoral votes in
states where big Democratic ma
chimes exist are in the bag for the
New Deal. But the battle is between
he machine e-cOntrOlled cities where
he bosses dominate and the rural
Lreas and the small towns where
here is an Embossed vote"

RAKING THE LEAVES

About now millions of American
men can be seen nObly scratching
the surface of their lawns, raking up
the leaves that fall day by day. 1t is
a kind of hopeless job. since the day
after they are raked MIR. Mind gets
busy and shakes some more of them
down. However. the unraked lawn
looks like the boy who forgot to
brush his hair.
What will the householder do with
those leaves after they are raked? ?
The more usual custom is to burn
them. This seems rather wasteful
of fertilizing substances. If raked
over your garden beds, some of that
good plant food should work into the
ground through the winter
The theory of some householders
is to allow the leaves to lie around
until the wind blows them over to
the neighbors. This doesn't help
any to produce a town that looks as
if it had had its face washed

THE DEMOCRATIC Baltimore
Sun, which has turned against the
New Deal and what it stands for
from time to time finds more reasons
to justify its position.
THE intelligent voter will remem-
Der that Mr.. Roosevelt did. in fact,
attempt to bring all of American in
dustry under the control of the Fed
eral Government. which in turn
farmed out control to the intrenched
interests" says the Sun. "The in
telligent voter will remember that a
unanimous Supreme Court knocked
out the scheme. The intelligent
voter will remember that Mr.. ROose-
welt said at the time that the court
had put the country back into the
horse and buggy days. but now. de-
spite horse and buggy, he boasts of
continued recovery"
Also. the intelligent voter will re-
member that the spending ourselves
into prosperity part of Mr.. Roose-
velt's program has taken such form
that the more we recover the more
We spend. Such policies Mr.. Roose-
welt cannot he expected to expose,
but the voters would do we'll to keep
them in mind even when most
amused by Mr.. Roosevelt's play with
and old gentlemen who
have lost their silk hats"
Milford chronicle., 1936-10-16
DEMOCRATIC REVOLT

Unprecedented as is the revolt by
five Democrats. headed by Alfred E
Smith, in that they appeal to the
Philadelphia convention to repudiate
President Roosevelt. it is logical.
The statement unerringly puts its
finger on some of the weakness of
the Roosevelt regime. Thus it raises
the fear of dictatorship; declares an
attempt is being made to buy the
Presidency with public funds; de-
plOres the orgy of spending. II is
strongest in its insistence that waste
be ended and that the heavy hand of
government be taken off business.
The real effect of the rebellion
may be shown in pivotal states, such
as New York, New Jersey, Massa-
chusetts and Pennsylvania, where
the balance appears close.
Certainly this appeal to a cOnven-
tion that was to have been all har-
mony is not good news for the ad-
ministratiOn.
Of equal or greater concern to the
assembled Democrats is the assur-
ance that there. will be a third party.
composed of radical and, in some re-
spects, discordant groups. Since the
Roosevelt administration is consid-
erably to the left of center, it ap-
pears now that it will lose more
votes to a third party than the Re-
publicans.
The possibility of losing states now
accounted in the Roosevelt column
givps DamOpraffc Iaodo,.e .,o,.;,,,,,
concern. The third party is some
thing for the Democrats to worry

INCREAsED ADYERTIsING

Figures from 67 leading cities
show that the retail stores of those
places used nearly 10 per cent more
advertising during the week ending
September 18th than they did in the
same week last year.
These 67 cities are the places that
have gone ahead, made great gains
in population and business. The
merchants of these places have
learned that advertising is an essen
tial in business. If there had not
been much advertising in those cities
they would have remained largely
stationary. The same thing is true
in all kinds OF places, the medium
sized city and the small town. Ad-
vertising promotes growth, both OF
the business that advertises, and of
the whole community.

these birds will bring their owners

how much he is worth to the nation.
1t used to be said that growing
turkeys was a difficult proposition,
owing to their liability to disease and
other troubles. Hence the Thanks

MIR. ROOSEVELT attempted In hi
1885 Pittsburgh speech to put owe
the idea that the taxes which hi
administration has piled up will b
paid out of increased national in
come.
Contrast that effort to escape re
sponsibility for the iniquity which
the New Dealers have imposed upoi
the country with this 1882 Roosevelt
statement at Pittsburgh:
Taxes are paid in the sweat
of every man who labors be-
cause they are a burden on pro-
duction and can be paid only by
production. If excessive, they
are reflected in idle factories,
tax-sold farms, and hence in
hordes of hungry, tramping the
streets and seeking jobs in vain"
President Roosevelt knows perfect
ly we'll that the laboring men and
women and farmers of the country,
people with incomes ranging down
to less than one thousand dollars a
year, will be carrying a heavy tax
burden as a result of his extrava-
gance and waste for generations to
come. Soak the rich" he says, and
the poor pay. because after all taxes
are transpOsed to the consumer.
We would like to ask Mr.. RoOse-
welt if he doesn't think two cents on
loaf of bread is not Oppressive
taxation" 1t is. and it is being paid
now, by the present generation. Will
you increase that to four cents later,
Mr.. President? You will have to
double taxation to balance the bud
get if you keep up your present rate
OF spending.
Governor LandOn said at Buffalo,
and no one has even tried to dispute
il that if every income from $4,000
up were confiscated by the govern
ment. total receipts would not be
enough to meet the expense of the
Roosevelt administration. If that
ISN'T so. Mr.. President. why don't
you tell us.
And won't you, Mr.. President, |
please explain how our national
prosperity can increase when. as a
'esult of your reciprocal" trade
agreements, our imports increase
md our exports decrease. That
lOesn't make sense. Mr.. President,
because it means red ink for Amer
ca.
For the eight months period from
anuaTy to August. an excess of ex-
orts over imports for last year of
29,339,OOO was turned this year into
n. excess of imports over exports of

FEDERAL AGENCIES Modified
FOR NEW DEAL CAMPAIGN

The elaborate machinery of the
United States Government now is
functiOning as a gigantic and unified
political organism. Its first Objec-
tive is the perpetuation of the New
Deal All the bureaucrats are striv-
ing militantly to extend their tenure
for four more years. They are truly
alarmed by the progress of the Re-
1 publican campaign.
This country never has seen such
a mobilization of the Federal estab-
lishment for the purpose of a pOliti-
cal campaign.
The Post Office Department is
handling Democratic literature i'm
bundles-all at the taxpayers ex-
pense.
The Resettlement Administration
is making feature length motion pic
lures for free exhibitiOn-all at the
taxpayers expense.
: From coast to coast an army of
more than 5000 paid pTOpagandists
work from morning until night eu-
logizing the President, his Brain
Trust and all the works Of the New
Deal. This. too. is all done at the
expense of the taxpayer The tax
payer not only maintains this army
of paid prOpagandists hut he also
pays their fabulous printing bills. He
buys their paper and ink and type
writer's. Finally, he pays for the
free distribution. through the Post
Office Department. of tons of litera-
ture every week.
Even the older agencies of govern
ment have been mObilized in this
campaign effort. The Department of
Agriculture times its programs TO
the necessities of the campaign. The
Interior Department starts its law
suits with an eye to the campaign. {
Even the Senate Committee investi- /
eating campaign expenditures fOrmu-
lates its da yto day program to the
needs Of the New Deal campaign.
The Treasury times its budget an
to the budgetary utter
ances Of the President. The Treasury
keeps its books and frames its public
balance sheets in a way which will
be most helpful in defense of the
reckless squandering of the New
Deal.
The American people do not pay
heir public servants to perform as
trained seals for the Presi-
lent.
The American people will not toll
rate this political corruption of the
machinery of their government.
The Government is established and
for all the people. It is
low operated as a branch Of the
National Committee.

1T WAS IN THE PLAIN. simpl,
and understandable terms Of busi
ness man that Governor Landon de-
livered a most remarkably clear in
dictment Of the Roosevelt social Sc.
curity act which next year will be-
gin to levy tax upon wage workers
to accumulate fund which may
not be there when they wan it.
Landon believes in old-age pen
sions but he finds the Roosevelt law
unworkable and stupid. II is also
unjust because farmers, farm hands
and domestic servants are excluded
from pensions and yet they as con-
sumers must pay the cost of pen
sions which will be passed on to
them in the price Of goods.
Landon's old age pension plan
would be to pay fixed pensions only
to those oldsters who are in need and
to pay those pensions from the cur
rent proceeds of a special tax levied
for that purpose which, by law. could
not be used for any other purpose.
That tax would be a visible tax wide
ly distributed and farmers. farm
hands. domestic servants. everybody,
would be eligible to a pension if he
were IS years old and in need It
would provide a minimum income
sufficient to protect him from want"
An oldster would he on relief.
