The state of Florida, like 9th.
ers nowadays, believes in Santa
Claus. Florida expects the ma
tional government to finance a
ship canal in that state. Roose-
welt, some time ago, allotted five
million for that canal. The five
million is gone, congress, some
time ago, turned thumbs down
on further canal expenditure. 1t
was brought up again in the
senate, which passed the canal
bill Monday against Republican
opposition. The bill returns to
the House for final passage. The
canal, says Senator Vandenberg
of Michigan, is going to cost the
government exactly two hundred
million dollars. And that's a lot
of dollars.

In Chicago a conference Of
third party delegates made up OF
minority political and labor rep
resentatives, who had been called
by the Minnesota FL organiza-
ton, obeyed the wishes of Floyd
Olson and abandoned discussion
of a third party presidential tic
ket, throwing it back into the
lap of the Minnesota FL party
for final decision.
Governor Olson, through a
spokesman, told the Chicago con-
ference not to enter third par
ty candidate, as it might defeat
"our (F.D.R.) liberal president"

nesota FL party. Therefore it
might be easily and correctly de-
duced that Olson and the FL.
chieftains are using the third
party threat as means of secur-
ing an air-tight contract for hay
for the FL bulls.
Then, too, there is the suppo-
sition for the reason of the Olson
friendship with a St. Paul indus
trial leader, in whose family
there is ambition for a presiden-
tial appointment of some kind
of some distinguished kind.

NEW DEAL BALLY.HOO

There are so many facts to
sustain the charge and they are
80 obvious to all who have eyes
to see and ears to hear, that no
effective answer can be made by
the New Dealers to the accusa-
ton by Henry P. Fletcher that
government funds are being used
to finance Democratic publicity
campaign "of unprecedented
magnitude" They may contend,
if they wish, that it is all in the
best American tradition for the
party in power to resort to every
stratagem to insure its re-elec-
ton, but they cannot explain
away such large scale and dis
gushing operations as have been
carried on by the propaganda
machine in Washington during
the past three years.
Mr.. Fletcher, who is chairman
of the Republican National Com
mittee, lists nine types of ''fed-
orally financed political propa-
ganda. There is not one of
them that is not familiar to near
ly every citizen. WPA radio pro-
grams, WPA exhibits, glamorous
views of Mr.. Tugwell's resettle-
ment projects, news reels, dis
play signs, theatrical perform
ances by government actors and
at government expense, speeches
by New Deal leaders, magazine
articles by federal officials and a
flood of franked publications
clarifying the Administration
of all of these there has been a
surfeit. At almost every turn
the American voter is confronted
with nauseating and exparte
testimony to the excellence of
the whole Roosevelt program. 1t
is bad enough to force these
things upon his constant atten-
ton. 1t is even worse to use his
money to finance the process.
To believe that great numbers
of our citizens can forever be
fooled by the methods of the cir
Gus barker is grossly to under
estimate their intelligence. There
is point where bally-hoo be-
comes insult. 1t is just possible
that that point has already been
reached.-Boston Transcript.

The New York Herald Tri-
bune, in a front page editorial,
advises a "rebirth of the Re-
publican party, which will be evil
denced by nomination of a
Democrat for the vice presidency
and adoption of a national"
rather than a party platform at
Cleveland. The candidates NOM
mated by the COP. at Cleve-
land will be the candidates not
only of the Republicans, but of
millions of Democrats who dis
trust the Roosevelt administra-
ton.
We can't see any reason why
such a suggestion can't be fol-
lowed, since anybody who is
against Roosevelt is a Republi-
can at heart anyway.

The Libby Parent Teachers associa-

in the Junior High. Approx
mately $50 town people were present
besides the teachers and performers.
The entertainment was provided by
third grade pupils under Miss McGrade
and Miss Olson. June Baney presented
violin solo, Roland Tibbets tapped a
number, and John Richards presided as
judge in an amusing baby show which
followed. In the baby show, the mothers
were third graders dressed in grown
up gowns and wearing their mothers
hats They brought their dolls for
John Richards, also a third grader, to
judge, with the usual complications.
The program was followed by the
regular business meeting, with reports
from various committees. Miss Lucille
Olson's third grade room won Minnie

parents in attendance.
Miss Inez Ratekin talked on National
Book Week, and Superintendent Wood
explained the situation in reference to

high school, saying that the congestion
could in that way be taken care of in
both high school and grades.

To An Ambitious Decorator

Ambition is a trait of character that
is to be highly admired, because so
many profess to have it, yet SO few
really have the strength of character
and perseverance necessary to carry
out an ambition. But there is one boy
in the senior class who really has his
share of ambition, and that is George
Krebs.
George has gone to Libby schools all
his life. and never had any yearning for
larger fields to explore. He is greatly
interested in interior decoration and
arrangement of gardens. He may at
tend school later. but following
graduation he will look for job.
Georges artistic talent was very
much in evidence last year in the
production of the junior paper, for
which he designed advertisements and
cartoons. Here's something most OF
you probably didn't know, but George
deserves the credit for the Prom dec
oratons last year. He is interested ir
modernistic design, and displayed the
trait in these decorations.
He states that he has put in his APP
plication at the Crescent for a position
in their drapery department. He's very
dependable and industrious, and cam
understand why everybody shouldn J
be.
He says that bookkeeping may prove
to be his Waterloo, regardless Of the
three hours (more or less) that he
spends on it each day. I'm sure we all
hope he gets through it, and wish lots
Of success to a boy with a great deal
of ambition.
