Brains-but No Umbrella
Philadelphia Record)

tPnuauelpna RecOrQ)
 Who do you suppose the brainiest who ever lived in North America? Dr. Ales Hrdlicka the anthropologist, says he unknown and named native of the Aleutian Islands, whose skull has just been discovered.
 The brain cavity 20O5 cubic centimeters That is better than the skull capacity of Daniel Web ster the largest of any other known American whose brain capacity little less than 2000 cubic cen.l- meters. Turgenieff, the Russian poet had the larg est known anywhere-2030. Beethovens measpred 1750 and Immanuel Rants TAO. e
 And what did this remarkable Aleut do with all that brain? So far Dr. Hrdlicka knows, he lived all his life on the Aleutan Islands which said to have the nastiest climate in the world It only stops raining when the fogs are so thick the clouds get lost
 Which goes to show what little use brains are against much more powerful forces, such as the strong attachment to ones native heath Here was the braniest man in North America yet he had enough to leave his home for Southern Califor mia. In fact, he didn't have enough to come in out of the rain

Fictitious Issues
(NeW York Times)

(NeW York T1meS) lv
 Somebody is always solemnly announcing the paramount issue of this Presidential election Usu- ally, it is announcement good for speech only at most for week only. It is several weeks since Secretary Ickes made radio address in which he said that the influence of MT. Hearst in selecting Governor Landon for the Republican nomination would probably be the deciding factor in this cam paign That prediction like poor joke that has become very stale with age But MT Hearst has suddenly risen in another guise that is to say the notorious publisher" whom the President nounces for unfairly attacking him ally of the Communists and the revolutonaries This issue also will soon pass as irrelevant and immaterial Older playgoers will remember the comedy entitled "Too Much Johnson" It looks just if this campaign suffering from too much Hearst.
 It would be wise son of the prophets who could at this time tell what will be the preponderating ques ton in the minds of millions of American voters who have not yet made their preferences or their nten- tons plain They thinking hard but saying little From all parts Of the country come reports that po ltcal discussion is stirring uncommonly keen interest even in small towns and villages Often there displays of violent partisanship but frequently travellers and observers report that they every where, it were, into great mass of curiosity curiosity that concerning what the contest is really about and what is going to happen on November g. It appears to be well settled that there large body of voters ready to go to neither exreme-nether Right Left--but anxious to find some solid mid tdle ground on which to stand and vote.
 In his speech before the Liberty League ex- Governor Smith declared that the great question to be determined is whether this country is to be ruled from Moscow or from Washington. The strong pro- babity is that it will be ruled from neither city Voters in the Middle West and in the Northwest will have much to do in determining the complexion of Government during the next few years and if any could accurately read the mind of these men and women he would know how the Presidential election is going.

WRITING TO THE PRESIDENT

Writing to the President to be the latest indoor sport especially in the campaign year The Cincinnati Enquirer not to be outdone by Roy How ard of the Scripps-Howard papers, William Randolph Hearst and few others, has joined in the game. The Enquirer addresses an open letter to the Chief Executive and in it quotes this significant paragraph from a letter Thomas Jefferson wrote to Ebridge Gerry January 26, 1799:
 T for preserving the States the
 powers not yielded by them to the Union. and
 to the Legislature of the Union it's constitu-
 tonal share in the division of powers; and
 I not for transferring all the powers of
 the States to the General Government and
 all those of that government to the executive
 branch. I am for government vigorously
 frugal and simple, applying all the possible
 savings of the public revenue to the discharge
 of the national debt; and not for mutplica-
 tion of officers and salaries merely to make
 partisans and for increasing, by every device,
 the public debt on the principle of it's being
 public blessing
 The Enquirer wants to know if President Roose- welt is in accord with the ideas of Jefferson. Of course, the implication is that the President has forsaken the ideals of Jefersonian democracy which the anti -Roosevelts have been alleging through the campaign for lack of a better issue. The fact is that MT Roosevelt is a better Democrat than some of those that hint at his alleged veering from Demo- cratic principles But there something to the J, f ferson letter which is much important and which the Enquirer fails to dwell upon.
 The Jefferson letter written in 1799
 There automobiles, arpanes stock market public utilities great network of roads, no transcontinental railroads in those days, and, incidentally, no relief for which the Federal govern, ment had to pour out millions of dollars keep peo pie from starving to death
 MT. Jefferson spoke of a simple and frugal gov- ernment There is some difference between 13 colo nies and AS states and possessions It was not nec essary for the third President to bother his head about Department of Air Commerce or Depart ment of Labor a commission to control the stock market to keep the private wolves from eating up the public lambs
 The Democratic principle sounded by President Jefferson is just much part of the Demo- cratic party and the philosophy of President Roose welt today it when Jefferson wrote it. But it is also true the Enquirer and everyone else well knows. that the comparison of government today with government in days of Jefferson is like compar ing dog team with the China Clipper.
 But. of course, writing a letter to the President is popular idea in a campaign year.
