CAPITALISTIC SYSTEM - OR DOLE?

There are lot of people in these United States who
spend great deal of their time debating how the Presl-
dent should run the government. We often wonder II
some of the people herein mentioned fully cognizan
of the real meaning of democracy. Do they realize the
responsibility placed upon the President in trying to main
tain free government which must allow the Pfo11t
system and at the time have equal distribution
of wealth of the nation with rich and none poor
It is an undisputed fact that every individual must
by live and must first sell in order to buy hence we
are forced to make profit in order to make Vehhood
Therefore if we seek to maintain free government for
the People, of the People and by the People, we are
forced only to have the profit system, but capitals

a matter of mpossbility of any enlightened nation to
place all it's people upon the payroll of the government
with nothing than monthly or yeary pay check

The reasons are that the ma
jority of people by far never ex-
pect to earn 5000 or even $3.50 a
month, and 5000 month looks
like a fabulous sum. Second there
has never been a time when there
has been so many things offered
that require money to possess
them that the average individual
desires but feel she may never
own under his present earning
power Third there never was a
time when so many people have
the feeling that they will never be
able to beat back even though
their normal earning power is re-
stored. Fourth there never was a
time when leisure was SO attrac-
tive as it is today. Fifth the
thing is tangible and personal. 1t
is not something that may i'm
prove the condition of the country,
of industry, or of agriculture, but
it is, q thing that comes to the in
dividuals own doorstep and lifts
him from want and lack, to plen-
ty and even luxury.

Every has at least industry in it. which if it
received all its line that the community
could provide, would be successful and would provide
employment fair wages and have enough money left
for expansion and development. AS it is it doesn't re-
ceive the business The home town people buy the
products often not good, from foreign concerns The
result is the home industry drags along and doesn't make
enough better its condition and advance to point
where it can get into volume production 1t singular
fact that while nearly every community likes to get
gether at times and wish industries by the treat
ment of the industries it has, it doesn't deserve new IN
dustries AS matter of fact most communities, if they
would rally to the support of the industries they already
have would solve their industry problems. No industry
from outside to into town that is turning its
back the industry it already has. -.

Conservatives may ridicule the
plan all they care to and may
point out its weak spots and
prove that it is impractical and

offered the American people in
the past 100 years.

In most States they are steadily be-
coming more numerous.
In Colorado, for example, they have
increased from $4,000 to $4,000 within
the last five years inspite Of heavy
hunting kills. The States elk popu-
lation spurted from $1,000 to $1,000.

Dear Miss X:
In the personal column of the Weekly
Literary Reriesc I've just read your advertise
ment in which you say you're girl of twenty
three. stranger in New York. and would
welcome correspondence as well as friendship
with an intelligent and personable young man
under thirty.
ALI right
For years I've been reading ads of this kind
in the RevfesVs columns Often I've wondered
what, exactly, prompted such public prayers
for letters. Is it that you're sensitive, lonely
creature pining away for companionship in
some secluded boarding house room1 That's
hard to believe. The Weekly Literary Repiew
caters to a more sophisticated and hard
boiled type of reader, think - the kind, in
fact, who'd scoff with superior disdain at the
sort of advertisement you inserted. Please
don't think I'm taking a cynical attitude
toward you I'm not. But I'm frankly curious
and I'd welcome reply.
As for myself, whether or not I'm the type
of man you had in mind when you advertised,
can't say. The facts about me are these: I'm
twenty-eight and employed as an associate
editor by book publishing house I'm un-
married, unattached, and passably per-
sonable. My indoor tastes run to theatres,
books, and movies, with an occasional concert
thrown in; my outdoor tastes include tennis,

novel. You. unfortunately are not at all the
type had in mind. With your good lob and
many outside interests, you're obviously not
the forlorn. lonely specimen I'm planning to
study. So. if you'll try to understand and for
give think we'd better bring our oorrespon-
dence to close with this. Sincerely,
Miss X.
Dear Miss X: L,ne 1o25
So that S it.
must ADMIT your manner of gathering
material for novel seems ingenious enough
On the other hand, l think you're doing some
thing most unfair to the forlorn, lonely chan
you nope to trap into revealing his soul. Why
after all, do you have to resort to this means of
research' Haven't you ever met any lonely
mem Haven't you any imagination9
what's more. the sort of novel vou're
planning doesn't strike me as being particu-
larly original. During the course of nv edito-
rial work I've read manuscripts of the same
KIND time after time. Usually they're quite
shallow. hope you're not going to turn out
another OF these feeble, Intellectual tales about
feeble, Intellectual people.
Excuse me if sound scornful, but | must
repeat l believe you're doing something
wholly unfair to the honest, cropping, lonely
individual who may yet, in the best of faith
reply to your advertisement. Severely,
Evening star., 1936-02-16
June 7, 1885.

Dear Mr.. Y:
80 you think I'm unfair, do your You. of
all people, to say thing like that You who
admittedly answered my advertisement in
spirit OF curiosity and not because YOU hon.
estly desired correspondence with another
lonely SOUL
My system of research may be cruel as
you put it, but is it any more heartless than
your attitude' You, who we're ready to ex-
anime under microscope some pitiful. lonely
little girl merely for the satisfaction of YOUR
own futile speculations about her.
Perhaps it's just as we'll that we understand
each other now. think the wisest thing we
can do before we drift into useless argument is
to close this exchange of letters. Please don't
write to me again.
Miss X.

Dear Miss X:
Believer it or not, I'm beginning to like YOU.
When your last letter arrived, could dis
tinctly picture your reaction to nv scoldinp
note, and the vision made me sit back and
chuckle
There you were reading my criticism of
your research Methods could see YOU i,mn
up IRON your chair, your lovely young face
flushed in anger. could see you stride back
and forth across your study, exclaiming, "The
lmpertnence OF the man! The impudence of
MN! Who does he think he is, uiticizinp me2"
With an impatient hand you flung back your
dlsarrayed hair. And while the passion of re-
sentiment was still boiling in you, YOU sat
down at your typewriter and pounded out
stiff, knockout reply.
Really, Miss X, that vision made you seem
more real and human and delightful than any,
thing else I've discovered in our correspond
ence. Not write you again1 Come, come.

Dear MIR. Y:
I've just received your letter in answer to
my advertisement in the Weekly Literary

imagine it might be quite pleasant to know
you and continue this correspondence.
But I'm afraid it won't do.
Please don't construe this as any criticism
OF yourself. 1t isn't. The truth is that tossed
bait into the sea in the hope of catching one
sort of fish, and I've caught the wrong kind.
Since you work for book publishing house
you will, hope, sympathetically understand
my confession. No, I'm not a stranded crea-

NEW YORK, Oct. 81. (UP)--
A strongly worded attack on the

whole course and direction Of oui
party seem to have been chang

riod of great promise in which
the pledges of the platform o.
1882 seemed on the way to sure
fulfillment, the wind in the sum
mer of 1888 blew from a new
quarter and the ship veered sharp
ly from her course.
"She has been lacking left ant
right ever since. The platform O
1882 was put on the shelf to lii
there as an interesting exhibit il
the political museum" he said.
Davis said the Democratic par
ty has stood for faithful observ
ance of the constitution, opposed
Capitalization in government, de
manded preservation of the self
governing power of the states, anG
believed in the independence and
the right and duty of congress

He then detailed acts of the

be said. could not be reconciled
with any platform the Democrat
" marty has ever adopted or with
any previous conception OF Inc
American system of government.
Davis said the New Deal is mel

socialists" he said. "to describe
the New Deal as socialism, in spite
of the socialistic character Of
many of it's policies and its bor-

WHY MADRID HAS
FRENCH MONEY FOR

LISBON, Oct. 81. (UP)-The
Madrid government today paved
the way for open assistance from
other powers in the belief that
international neutrality agree
ment would fail and European
nations would join in a. mad
scramble to aid opposing factions
in the Spanish Civil war.
Madrid announced it immed-
lately would make available 250,-
100000 francs to liquidate for
eign sight drafts in Spain, which
"gravely prejudice Spanish COM

fact the money was made avail.
able in francs was not explained.
but it was assumed that part OF
the obligations was to France.
Observers believed the govern
ment decided to pay its debts be-
cause in the event of a breakdown
of the non-intervention pact, NJ
nation would have an excuse to
refrain from selling war materials
to the Leftist government. Madrid
controls the huge stores Of gold
in the Bank Of Spain and has
been seeking an opportunity to
buy modern war equipment and
materials, which it needs badly:
The civil population Of Madrid
is realizing for the first time that
the capital is in great danger.

outskirts of the city, although ap.
