hooveS every intelligent voter to
take stock of the situation and
compare il with the picture dur

hack three or four years. He pre-

trusts that those who desire to
share such forgetfulnesS vii! not

rather talk of improved conditions

We hear a lot about the fed

of preserving human worth, which
the present administration has
done. there is no deficit. But. look
at it from a monetary standpoint,

that the increasing incomes will

Mr.. WARBURG SEES THE LIGHT

The letter of James P. Warburg to Secretary
Hull is notable contribution to the present cam
paign.
1t is notable not so much because to those who
read only the headlines it will seem that Mr.. War
burg has recanted the bitter criticisms which he
made of the Roosevelt administration as for the
deeper reason which he gives for his disappoint-
ment in the Republican campaign.
Mr. Warburgs "Hell Bent for Election" was As
savage an attack upon the New Deal as it has had
to meet either before or since the Warburg book
was written. He does not withdraw any of the
criticisms which he made in that book or in his
later book, "Still He'll Bent"
But in his letter to Mr. Hull he declares that
what the Roosevelt administration is now accom-
pshng, through Secretary Hull's efforts, towards
making possible return to sanity IN our "or'd
relationships "transcends all the many apparent
issues which, no matter how important IN thcm-
selves, can be met only if we meet the one basic
issue squarely."
The sterilization of currencies and the revival
of world trade offer, as Mr. Warburg sees, the only
hope Of preserving in the United States what many
are pleased to call "the American system, the only
hone of avoiding a state of affairs in this country
under which government will be compelled to eX-
ercse larger and larger measure of control.
Mr.. Warburg has been deeply disappointed in
Governor Landon'S candidacy in that he Mr..
| Iandon attacking the principle which he thinks is
vital above all other issues the principle in which
is embodied "the fundamental basis of all liberty
and all liberalism" He sees the Roosevelt admins
| tration alive to the Importance of this principle
and making visible progress in its extension. He
deserves praise for having set forth his convictions
so clearly, so UNDERSTANDABLE. 1t took courage to
write at this stage of the campaign such letter
as he has sent to Secretary Hull.
The wonder is that some others whose title to be
known as liberals has been longer advertised than
that of Mr.. Warburg fail apparently to grasp the
essential truth upon which he puts his finger so

IN THE CAMPAIGN

GOOD on that estimate, 1t may be
too bad 70: the Republicans, who
aren't hoping for much better
than a 100000 plurality in the
rest Of the state.
Roosevelt carried Illinois by
100000 IN 1892 and Hoover by
go. 900 in 1928. RooScvcltS 1882

half from downStatc.
EFFECT Of state contests on
- the national elections in llli-
noiS is variouSly interpreted. Gov,

nation, is battling for reelection
against Republican Curly" Way

states attorney in Chicago.
In Chicago one hears Horncr

state. that he will run ahead. On
the other hand, you can hear
many voters say they'll vote for
Roosevelt and Brooks. which
doesn't help clear the picture.
The extent TO which the fcuG
between Horncr and the Kelly
Nash machine has been patched
up is uncertain. Some believe
Kelly and Nash are happening

county. But prepOndcrant Opin-
ion is that they'll 90 down the
line for Roosevelt. If only TO pre-

in case he is reelected.
.DOWNSTATE farmers are likely
- to decide the Illinois result.
Except in a small area, they have
escaped the drouth. Their emo
tons seem mixed between anger
over agricultural imports and
pleasure over greatly improved
farm prices. Republicans need
much better than a $3.50 break
on the farms to give them the

VICE PRESIDENCY SHOULD BE MADE
A REAL JOB
(Bv BRUCE CATION


Every four years the attention OF the
American people is logged to realization
of the fact that their vice president leads a
deplorable life.
He gets workout during the campaign
and he usually makes the most of tex
cept in the case of Mr.. Garner, who doesn't
seem to like to make speeches. A vice
president has TO make the most Of 1t, for 1t
is the only chance he gets.
If his ticket is beaten, of course, ne re-
tires to private life, and there are no more
rear platform talks in his program. And II
he wins, his fate is even worse; for he re-
tires then to the lofty and distinguished
obscurity of the vice presidency, wherein
his compatriots ignore him completely and
eternally.
This has become great joke, in recent
years. That excellent musical show of a
few years back, "Of Thee Sing" got at
least half of its fun from a long-drawn Jlbe
at the vice presidents plight.
Tom Marshall, vice president under Will
son, lived up to the part perfectly when he
solemnly announced that what the country
needed most was a good ive-cent cigar. 1t
was generally agreed that that was the
kind of statement vice president should
issue.
But how absurd is all this! The vice
president holds the second highest office
in our gift. One life stands between him
L. 4 10
be selected with as much care as the pres
ident. And the Job that he holds most GER
tainly should be as big as the responsibility
that goes with it.
As things stand, of course, the job is
washout. The vice president must be more
or less a parlamentarian to preside over
the Senate; he needs stout digestive APP
paratus so that he may eat all the dinners
offered to vice presidents.
Beyond that, he has nothing whatever to
do. Small wonder that many good men sell
dom want the job, or that those who hold
is are so promptly forgotten.
We have been luckier with our vice
presidents than We deserve. The two who
were advanced TO the presidency IN the
century - Calvin Coolidge and Theodore
Roosevelt-acquitted themselves very well
indeed, and were triumphantly elected
when their terms expired.
Our weak" presidents in the 10Th CEN
tury were, as rule, men who were elected
directly to the office and not who stepped
into it from the vice presidency.
But we cant rely on that kind of luck
forever. Sooner or later we are apt to find
our little custom most horribly expensive
If and when wo do, we doubtless shall won
der why we ever continued the custom 81
long.
II should not take too much rejiggerinl
of our laws to make the vice presidency {
real job-the sort of job vice presidency
is in modern corporation, for instance.
If we did that, we would automatieall,
make the selection of vice presidential can
didates real job, too. And our machiner!

adored, and both my wife's children
are to me the same as if they were
my own. We will not refer to this
again. Nor to the other matter, ex-
cept this once. And I have to say on
ly that if you again so much as hint
or imply or suggest that my daugh-
ter could by any chance, accident or
design, have had any hand in the
death of her beloved husband, you
will suffer the direst punishment
this country deals out for such an
offense, and I can assure you it is
not light one.
There was silence for a few mo-
ments, then Pierre entered, followed
by Dillon, and the two men led Ma
dame Maiden from the room. She
left without word.
Lowell went to Perilla's rooms, and
she stepped out on the balcony with
him. She felt she could not talk
freely, there were so many listening
ears about. Lowell understood, and
as they talked various matters, he
made, as he said, route to follow
when going home, which would be
quicker than the one travelled COM
ing down.
Perilla was not surprised when on
his departure, after Sarah's return,
he slipped a paper into her hand.
Later, she found the note read:
do not be alarmed, Perilla dear,
there is no real danger. But do not

'It is my preference that / be call
ed Madame Maiden, and the" the
croaking voice hesitated, as its own
er threw a stealthy look at John
Lovel, "the girl who married my son
be called Mrs. Maiden. 1t is always
so in the family"
Lowell saw clearly enough that
had he not warned her Madame
Maiden would have burst into tt
rade against her daughter-in-law, but
his stern expression forbade such an
outburst.
"That is WELL" he said. "Who is
your lawyer, Madame Maiden? I
mean, have you a local man, or only
Garth of Philadelphia"
'sMr. Garth is-was, my sons law
yer. employ a Richmond man, to
look after my legal affairs, which,

many years. Why do you want to
know"
Because want him to advise you
that, if only for your own sake, you
would better refrain from repeating
what you said to Mr.. Maiden. You
must know that SANDER is severely
dealt with, and you are quite liable
to get yourself into real trouble,
while trying to trouble my daugh-
ter"
"She isn't your daughter"
Lowell stared at her. ITO me she is
as dear as any daughter could be.
She is very like her mother, whom I

It was not very long before Per-
lila was sound asleep, with the rest
that comes after utter exhaustion.
And after time Sarah, too, fell into
a deep sleep on the couch in the
dressing room.
Neither wakened when the french
window from the balcony was soft
ly pushed open and a black-robed
figure entered Perilla's room. But
