CONSIDER THE FACTS

In spite of the play of the demagogues upon
the passions and prejudces of the and their
artfulness in painting pictures of paradises of
Utopia for men who toll their appeals to their dis
content and eloquence in magnifyng their sad
plight, when gets down to the brass tacks of
simple facts, the hoi pollo of America analyze as
being in clover compared with similar strata of
ciety elsewhere in the world. ,-..1 .'
There is, for example, the automobile which,
while luxury almost everywhere else outside OF
the United States is common necessity in this
country where there is a car for every 81 of the
population.
That compares with one automobile for every
81 people in England one for every Sc in Ger
many; one for every 81 in Sweden; one for every
1,2l6 in Japan, and one for every 5,036 in China.
Hours of work in America decreased by 34.8
per cent between 1899 and 1929 while the wage
increase during the same period amounted to 226
per cent.
Abuses and injustices and unfairnesses have not
wholly been wiped out of America for the masses
of its people, but there abundances of blessings
being enjoyed to be found in no other land under
the shining sun.-Julian Miller in The Charlotte

Now that our own Judge E. Little has laid
hand on the throttle to run it, the Townsend ma
chine in this neck of the woods has begun to steam
and mayhap-quien sabe will take force be-
hind its cylinder heads. 1t happens just at the time
when Dr. Francis E. Townsend, who originated the
idea of giving all the oldsters $500 month, thus
saving the nation was riding across the country in
company with the Rev. Gerald X. Smith, upon
whom the mantle of Share-the- Wealth Huey Long
descended, to make mutually applauded speeches
from the same platform. DR.. Townsend had things
on his mind other than these. ., ..'. ..'., ....
Having solved the mystery of bringing pros
perity by old age pensions, he next took up and
solved the even more complicated problem of dove
failing the Townsend plan with the share-the-
wealth plan. On the face of it the two plans coun-
teract each other. The share-the-weathers would
take the Townsend pensions unto themselves, while
the Townsendites would keep money circulating so
dizziy there wouldn't be any concentrated wealth
to share But DR.. Townsend never minded that,
and now he goes west to hook up with the Lemke
Farm Unions and to take over their new-tangled
notions of agricultural economics. Not only that,

WASHINGTON, June Is. (UPl.
Senator George w. Norris, r.,
Neb., advised Republicans last
night that the best way to achieve

tor Frederick SteiweT, r., Ore, is
to re-elect President Roosevelt.

The eminent Nebraskah, who
still wears the Republican label
although he parted company with
COP. leaders in 1928 to support
Alfred E. Smith against Herbert
Hoover. said in radio address
that the party invention at
Cleveland demonstrated it believes

change appears great and sudden because
of the party system of government. Both
major parties are now committed to a pro-
gram of liberalism, some might say radl-
calsm depending entirely upon the point
of view. Both are now committed to pro-
gram of relief for unemployed, to the
principle of collective bargaining by labor
to program of farm aid which must in
evitabaly mean taxation of all other classes
for the benefit of this one. A Rip Van
Wrinkle of Republicanism, sleeping for the
past 20 years and suddenly awaking at
this moment, would certainly wag his
head, perhaps sadly, and declare that
times had changed
Just what effect the 1886 Republican
convention will have upon the ultimate
destiny and history of the American peo-
pie is something at the present to be only
speculated upon.

DARTMOUTH SET FOR CRUSADERS
 NEXT SATURDAY
Yale Opposes Penn and Pittsburgh Faces Ohio
 State Boys

New York, Oct. 5-(UP)-Inter- sectional warfare and redhot sect ional games feature competition on the nations gridirons this Saturday with Columbus O., the center of the battles.
 For in that city, mighty Pitts burgh and Ohio States high-scor- ing Juggernaut collide in a game that is certain to remove one of them from consideration for the mythical national title.
 Pittsburgh, has two victories to its credit this season and Ohio State opened its 1936 campaign on Saturday with an amazing 60-0 triumph over New York University.
 Saturdays battles ran surprising ly true to form with St. Mary's 10-0 victory over California the only result that could be labeled an upset.
 Two great intersectional games stand out for the coming week end. University of Southern California, which seems to be heading for the spot 1t occupied years ago when it ruled the nations gridirons, meets the University of Illinois at Urbana. and Southern Methodist, the East ern" Rose Bowl team this year, comes to New York for a game with Fordham. The latter opened its season Saturday with an impressive 66-7 victory over Franklin and Marshall.
 New York also has another top- notch game with Columbia playing Army.
 Elsewhere in the East undefeated Dartmouth plays Holy Cross; Yale meets Pennsylvania; Harvard plays 8 weak Brown eleven and Princeton clashes with Rutgers.
 Big ten competition gets under way with Indiana playing Michigan, and Purdue meeting Wisconsin. Minnesota, favorite for the big ten championship and Nebraska, de- lending champion in the big six, meet in one of the outstanding games of the day. Notre Dame plays Washington U. and Michigan State meets Carnegie Tech.
 Outstanding games in the south pair Georgia Tech and Kentucky, Louisiana and Georgia, North Car olina and Maryland and Tulane and Centenary.
 Tn the Southwest, Tulsa meets Texas Christian.
 On the coast, Oregon State meets California, Stanford, which has lost two straight, plays Oregon and Cal ifornia plays Oregon State.

 New York, october s. = CUP) - If it's true that the man worth- while is the man with the smile when everything goes dead wrQ1g. then Frank Gabler, right handed pitcher for the Giants, is the most worthwhile gent we've had around for Q long time.
 Cabler, or ''Ol' 0abe" as he pre- fers to call himself, hasn't had any- thing go right 50 far. He barely escapes with his life in that 1S to { massage of Friday, and when he went in yesterday to relieve Hubbell, Lou Gehrig hit the very first thing he threw up for two bases.
 Tn fact, in his two series appear ances the Tanks have knocked everything off him but his grin. They haven't been able to budge that. In the Giants dressing room Friday, with everybody sglum and casualties scattered all over the place, or Gabe, who had been shelled unmercifulIy himself, went about spreading good cheer.
 Don't feel bad, Bill," he told Manager Terry, '.it could of been a lot worse. Wasn't nobody killed.

| Think Of what would happened if them Tanks hadn't been hitting those balls in the air. If they'd been along the ground, there wouldn't been man of US left"
 During his walk around the dress ing room Q young reporter halted him and asked him # we were a giant pitcher.
 sSon," or Gabe said, 'snile when you call me that. Them,s fighting words" Then after shifting his wad of cut plug, he told the young Ster who he was.
 "And don't feel sorry for me. l got my ears pinned back, yeah, but I'm telling you sonny there are lots of pitchers beating around out in the bushes who would have been glad to step out there in the World Series, if even they did get thei1 ears knocked off. You gotta be pretty good, you know even to get your stuff murdered in . series."
 The two-bagger that Gehrig got off the first ball Gabler threw yes- terday was the hardest hit ball ot the series to date. It went through Terry's legs making ninety miles an hour and Terry said later that if it had happened to hit him, it would have saved him having an operation on his bad knee this winter.
 Tt would have taken off not only my knee, but the whole leg" Bill said. 'Lawdy,. Lou powdered that one"
 ."It was just a slow roller," or Gabe said. T wish it had been knocked straight toward the ! pitchers box and me. You know what I woulda done? or Gabe would have charged in on 1t, taken 1t with a grab enchanted swoop, and thrown that Gehrig out at first base"
 Gabler is very sorry he won't get another shot at the Tanks. He thinks he has found their weak ness.
 'Yes sir" he said in the dressing room yesterday, towel wrapped around his middle, and beer in his hand, T think I could do all right next time. I got lem figured. I'd just give wild pitches. Nothing else. I'd mix lem, of course = some over Mancuso's head and some in the ground. I've seen 'em in four games now, and they ain't hit a wild pitch yet"
 With his series cut of better than $6,000, Gabler will, make better than $11,000 this season, and says that "ain't at all bad"
 Not if you ever played around in the bushes as much as I have. made up my mind to get in the big leagues during those long, night bus rtips in the minors. Wed be pumping along about two in the morning, tired and sleepy as hell when the bus would stop at a rail- road crossing to let a train pass. As it would go by I always said to myself: There goes them big leaguers. Riding in style. I am gonna travel in one of them Pull mans some day." And sure enough finally got up here. got mur- dered out there, sure, but those Tanks weren't half as rough on me as those minor league bus rtips. Yes sir, you just say for or Gabe he ain't got a kick coming.
