BEGIN HERE TODAY

Julia Craig, pretty young Sec
rotary to George Woodford, law
yer, is ambitious to become a
night club singer. Julia shares an
apartment with Amy Sanders.
Peter Kamp, young lawyer, is
in love with Julia but they quar-
rel and Julia declares she never
wants TO see him again.
Woodford gives a party aboard
his yacht and asks Julia to come
to sing for his guests, including
Cintra Lee, dancer; Mrs. Joseph,
widow; Hugo Nash, and Royal
Nesbitt. Julia goes, later regrets
it when she learns the cruise is to
be much longer than a weekend.
The yacht lands at Evergreen
Island where Woodford has a
lodge. There Julia meets Tom
Payson, who offers 10 help her
get away, but Payson is discov-
cred on the yacht and forced to
leave.
Nesbitt is injured while the
men are hunting. Woodford's
party leaves at once to get Mes
bitt to a doctor.
Julia arrives home. Cintra Lee
telephones and tells her she car
have job singing on Tony Lat
ta's gambling ship.
NOW co ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XIV
Next day, a little after five,
Julia found herself in taxi
bound for one Of the municipal
wharves. There, Cintra Lee had
! told her over the telephone the
night before, she would find Tony
Latta ready to take her to his
gambling ship for her first pro-
, fessional engagement.
All day long her better iudG-
ment had warred against the idea
but already she had given Gin
ira her word. And there re-
manned the fact that she was out
Of job and must do something
But, despite all this, she might
still have sent her excuses had ii
not been for Amy Sanders.
"Id do it," Amy told her. "YoU
can take care of yourself, Julia
It's not where a girl is, but what
she is. If you're sold on this Gin,
! ira Lee, and she says that Latta
is all right, what more do yor
WANT"
| So, bolstered with Amy's adj
vice, Julia kept her promise tc
Cintl.a Lee. All day long she haC
occupied herself furiously witt
small tasks around the apartment
trying not to think of her eV.t
tual appointment with Latta
When the time came, she ordered
a cab almost aRtomatically-ant
now here she was, headed straight
for Latta's gambling ship.
1t seemed only 4 few minute:
before the taxi had stopped be
fore the wide gates Of the munich
pal wharf. Trembling little. III
liza got out and paid the driver
In her excitement she almost for
cot her bag and he had to cal
after her. But when J u Ii;
reached out a hand for 1t a low
strange voice said, CPL take ii

HOW FARMERS FEEL

Governor LafidOn says the trade
agreements have sold the American
farmer down the river. And that's
exactly how the farmers. themselves
feel about it. The trades so far made
have been against our farmers. Lam
don proposes to stop 1t, if he is
chosen President.
At the present when an agreement
is made with one nation IL autOmat-
ically becomes an agreement with
AZ other nations under the favored
nation" treaty. And they can pro-
ceed to flood our markets with like
products whether or not we have
anything they want to buy Of us in
exchange. That's the way the Ca
madam agreement is working to the
disadvantage Of our farmers.
The Landon pledge to protect the
domestic market for domestic pro-
ducers will strike responsive chord
in every Midwest farm home.-TO-

PURE VOTE RAFT

President Roosevelt declared that
he intends to provide jobs for every
one at a decent" wage. History
does not record a time when every
one had a job at a decent" wage.
No man, however, great he may be,
can make such a promise with sin
cerity.
There are those who feel the world
owes them a living. They believe
they should be employed and should
receive good wages regardless of
their own efforts. There always has
been and there always will be a Ger
tain percentage of dead manpower
within our industrial and CONNER
cial life. A President has no right
to promise such persons jobs at de-
cent wages and then expect industry
to assume the burden Of paying them.
Mr.. ROosevelt's declaration is
merely another of his mythical PROM
ises aimed not in the preservation
OF the cOuntry's labor status, but in
a fiirtatiOus attempt to win votes.
His promises of 1892 are held high
on the scales of record by the de-
pressing record of performance

CAMPAIGN BITTERNESS

As the presidential campaign
draws to its close, one can expect
the usual amount OF harsh and Bit
ter talk. Such a campaign is always
a strain on the public temper and
nerves. People are feeling juinpy
anyway, as a result Of the sufferings
OF prolonged depression. They are
in a mood when many Of them will
get needlessly excited. when many
rash and wild statements will be
made.
Predictions of ruin are always
heard when a presidential election
comes on. The prophets fOretell the
most terrible calamities if their own
party and candidates are not chosen
to rule the nation.
OF course political mistakes do
produce economic and Industrial dis
asters. But let us never lose faith
in the ability Of our country to right
itself. There is a sound common
sense in the American people that
will not long tolerate any destructive
action.
The main thing now is for people
to keep their heads. examine all
statements by the light OF their own
Information, knowledge. and expert
ence. The masses Of the people in
all parties are honestly desirOus of
promoting the cOuntry's welfare.
There is of course too much grasping
for sectional and factional advantage,
but no party has any desire to cause
disaster or ruin.
The doubtful voter is not much
swayed by excited and emotional
talk. Cold facts. presented in a calm
way. by people who are able to use
reason rather than their emotions,
will win in the long run. Unjust
and unfOunded attacks react on the
people who make them, and create
sympathy for the one thus wrongly
assailed.

DOWN THE RIVER

For ten months the Roosevelt re-
ciprocal trade treaty with Canada
has been on the books. This is suf-
ficient time to appraise its value,
under the trial-and-errOr system OF
admitted New Deal procedure. There
fore, Governor LandOn was amply
justified at Minneapolis in exposing
the fallaoies and injustices of the
present trade agreements, in the CEN
ter of a region which has felt the
withering effects of Canadian compe-
tition fostered by those agreements.
Plenty of farmers in Minnesota, Wis
consin and the Dakotas have, indeed,
as the Governor put it, been sold
down the river" under the devastat-
ing competition of agricultural prod
ucts from across the border.
Reciprocal trade agreements are
vulnerable spot of New Deal foreign
policies. The governor showed that
through the agency of these pacts,
negotiated at star chamber proceed
ings in which farming interests were
not represented, agricultural imports
have increased "a per cent over a
corresponding period. while Ameri-
can farmers have added only rs per
cent to their exports. Canadian cat
tie, as a result, have been dumped
in our live stock centers to depfess
the prices of domestic animals, while
in Wisconsin, the heart of the dairy
region, has suffered from cheese and
butter shipped in from Canada.
Governor Landon's' pledge to re-
store American markets to American
farmers is one of the most reassur-
ing messages brought to agriculture
for many years. The need of dras-
tic revision of our foreign trade pol
icy, as outlined by the governor, is
buttressed by George N. Peek, for
mer chief of AAA and RoOsevelt's
special advisor on foreign trade, who
has produced figures to show that,
instead of finding markets abroad
for our surplus farm products, the
trade agreements have in practice
only opened markets for foreign |
farmers, due to the perniciOus gen
eral mOst-favOred- nation policy"
There is no reciprocity whatever
about these agreements. as both Gov
ernor Landon and MIR. Peek have
shown. They merely make easy ac-
cess to markets for foreign farmers |
once controlled by American farm
ers, and for which they today are
sOrely in need.

NO NEW DRAL. sECURITY

Governor Lahdon in Milwaukee
tore the comoufage from the New
Deals fake social security" act and
revealed it as a delhsion and a snare,
as well as the largest tax bill ever
imposed on the people. He disclosed
that instead Of a beneficent act of a
generous government, it would i'm
pose the whole costs of the plan on
workers weekly payTOlls; that it
would force every state to adopt un-
employment insurance, without Civ
ing any help therein, whether the
state desired it or not; and that it
would build up a huge army of tax
eaters at Washington-tO keep track
OF 26,OOO,OOO workers jobs, wages,
and mode of life. thus requiring more
government shopping and investigat-
ing than ever before known in our
land.
The Governor. exposing the falla-
cies of this legislation, which goes
into effect next January. likened the
New Deal government to the profit
gate head of a family. To quote his
own language: "The father of the
family is a kindly man, so kindly
that ne bOrrOws all he can TO add
To the family's pleasure. At the same
time he impTesses upon his sons and
daughters the necessity of saving
for their old age. Every month they
bring per cent of their wages to
him so that he may act as trustee
and invest their savings for their
old age.
THE father decides that the best
investment is his own l. o. U. So
every month he puts aside in a box
his l. o. U. carefully executed. and,
moreover. bearing interest at per
cent. And every month he spends |
the money that his children bring |
him, partly in meeting his regular
expenses, and the rest in various ex
periments that fascinate him. Years
pass-the children grow Old-the day
comes when they have to open their
fathers box. What do they find?
Roll after roll of neatly executed l.
o us"
ITO call it social security is a
fraud on the working man." said
Governor LandOn.

STREET CLEANING

In years past most towns were
careless about cleaning up litter. II
someone threw bit Of waste paper
in the street, II would remain there
for weeks, or until the wind blew it
off somewhere. If it got stuck in
some bit of long grass. it might re-
main there years. No one bothered
70 pick it up. That gave towns a
disOrderly appearance.
1t seems essential to a progressive
community now. to have regular
street cleaning. 1t does not cost a
great deal, and it pays. by making
the community attractive. Litter
should never be allowed to .aecumu-
late on vacant lots. The owners
should be required to keep them
cleaned up. No one should wish to
maintain property that is a blot on
his home town.
Milford chronicle., 1936-10-09

tragic amount 0f time on the part
Of the wise to correct the mistakes
Of the merely good.
The truth Is, Of course, that Mr..
Roosevelt, as usual, unthinkingly re-
spOnded to the popular emotions OF
the moment. Everyone felt III 1888
that something must be done to help
the people hit by the depression. And
as he had no plan, but the best aspl-
rations, he did what he thought
would be popular.
|, Here again, as on so many preVi-
GUS occasions, MIR. Roosevelt fell q
victim to his own shallowness OF
mind. He was totally unaware that
there were two elements-bOth sinis-
ter-which contributed to the prob
lem. The first was the demand OF q
depressed group to be supported in
comfort by the government. The
second was the sentimental out
growth of years of prosperity which
led the majority of the American
people unthihkingly TO accept the
idea that material comfort Is the
birthright of all, and If it cannot be
obtained by individual effort, than it
must be provided by the government.
In other words the nation was be-
ginning to go soft" II was hypnO-
tized by mechanical materialism into
losing its sense of values. Franklin
ID. Roosevelt, ever sensitive TO pub
lie opinion. capitalized this material
istic movement by glOrifying senti-
mentalism at the expense of spiritual
qualities.
1t is hard not to draw the contrast
between the present and the earlier
Roosevelt. The philosophy of Frank
lin ID. Roosevelt is the philosophy OF
the easy life. He breaches depen-
denee and the right to be mOlly-c0d-
died. Safety, security, comfort, ma
terialism-these are the things for
which he works. In contrast, Theo-
dOre Roosevelt preached the value of
the strenuous life. He sought to
strengthen the fighting qualities of
the American people, their self-re-
lance, their resOurcefulness, their
readiness to undergo hardship with
out losing heart and courage.
At the bottom of the New Deal
philosophy is the idea of something
for nothing" But for the first time
in history this doctrine is being ad-
vocated by government. Hitherto
the demand of something for nothing
has always come from people who
wanted to be on the receiving end.
But under Franklin d. Roosevelt the
demand comes from those on the
giving end. To be sure, the givefs
expect gratitude, and definite graft
tude as a lively sense of benefits to
come" Hence they count ON poIiti-
cal support from those to whom they
give. But this, if anything, makes
their policy even more lacking in
moral qualities. 1t is a form of ma
terialism gone mad - materialism
that is as demoralizing as it is ut
terly repugnant to the traditional
American way of life.
Milford chronicle., 1936-10-09
PACKING THE COURTS

During the next four years the
chances are there will be a number
of vacancies on the United States
Supreme Court bench, which, il
President Roosevelt is reelected, he
will fill. 1t requires no prophet to
surmise that II given the opportunity
he will appoint to those vacancies
men who are In accord with all the
New Deal sOcialistic policies, and
that in this way the constitution
could be rewritten by the Court.
The Presidents attitude towards the
Court and his criticisms of it leave
little room for doubt regarding his
action.
Appointment of Supreme Court
Justices therefore becomes a mat
ter Of deep concern to all who be-
lieve in the fundamental principles
of our constitution. and this concern
is inextricably involved in the ques-
tion Of the reelection of Mr.. ROose-
velt.-Luverne, Mimi, Herald.

JAIL FOR ~ TATTLING

Some sort Of new all-time record
in chicane undoubtedly was estsb-
lished by Attorney General Cum
mings' stupidity arrogant warnings
that sellers of merchandise might be
prosecuted for displaying signs in.
forming customers how much Of the
price is due to federal taxes. The
attorney generals Office quoted an
act of Congress OF ten years ago OBJ
viously directed against making false
statements about taxation and said,
1T has not been determined whether
the law is directed only at mislead-
ing statements of fact or whether it
also is intended to prohibit state
mehts Of fact"
This, in our judgment. very easily
can be determined. All that is neces-
sary is for the attorney general to
file a complaint against the owner
OF some gasoline service station and
try to send him to Jail for displaying
a placard stating how much local,
state and federal tax is included in
the selling price of gasoline. Or the
political and pulssant legal counsel
Of the United States might, more di-
rectly to his obvious purpose, cause
Governor LandOn to be arrested for
saying that cents of the price of
an ordinary loaf of bread is due to
more than fifty tax charges from
field to table.
Since the beginning, every effort
has been made by the New Deal to
conceal indirect taxation, now
amounting to 51.3 per cent of federal
tax income. Efforts to hide these
taxes, if the Attorney General has
his way about it, now are TO be in
tensified by placing a ban upon their
on pain of federal indict-
ment. with a penalty ranging from
a $1,000 fine to a year in prison. or
both.
Secrecy about taxes but publicity |
for expenditures are. we take it,
among the nOn-partisan activities of
the New Deal in the open season for
Northwestern Miller.
