"How do you mean, it is that

Perfectly satisfied" The tame

Of having their way with the politically
minded. With election past but few months
echoes are heard about to four years hence
based on the usual rumor that the President may seek
another term At this stage after election it is almost
a tradition to have suggest that the Presi-
dent who has been reelected, will seek third term
Often the suggestion comes from those who have
aspirations of their BY keeping in the spotlight
they direct attention to themselves and when the
gongs start sounding the time rolls around to look
for candidates there is the advantage of their
being generally known
OF course, that may not be the idea back of the
rumors now being circulated that President Roose-
welt may seek third term More likely it is just the
summer heat and the boys have to have something to
talk about In view of the Presidents recent clear in
sinuation that he would not seek another term, il
would appear that the reports more or less idle

think BY that time the lines will be more def
initely drawn. And when they drawn, it is pro-
bable that Mr.. Roosevelt will not be among the
candidates.

THEY'RE BITING IN TURNER LAKE

Your special Turner Lake fishing investigation
committee report faithfully while still scratching
few mosquito bites, that the cutthroas rising
to the fly in that spot of rugged grandeur-Turner
Lake They are not what might be called ravenous,
but they have keen appetite Without undue effort
the committee was able to fill baskets with speckled
beauties running from ~ 16 inches.
Some effort directed by the fishing committee
to discover the whereabouts of that big specie of
trout reputedly found only in Turner but without
success that phase of the investigation being put
over until another time The committee however
feels the matter should be followed up diligently
The Black Gnat and the Coachman appear to be
favorites with the cutthroats of that particar lake
but any kind of bright fly seems to do the trick
The bait fishermen on the committee had equal
success but heavy argument to whether a
bait caster could really qualify fisherman. Com
promise finally reached with the recommendation

Development of air transport vital to peace-tme
progress and wartime defense, is being held up by a
group of Congressmen who concerned about the
possible loss of their free passes on airlnes.
This incredibly cheap attitude has been disclosed
by those fighting the sky-riding congressman over
the Administration bill to transfer regulation of air
commerce from the Commerce Department, which has
badly bunged it, to the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion-where it belongs
The bill it stands contains an objectionable
provision against free passes by airIines
Since Congressman already get an ample mileage
allowance for their transportation to and from Wash
ington the free air ride means they can take 100
percent profit, running high $1,000 session in
the of Representatives from the Pacific Coast.
And that seems to be consideration important
enough to certain statesmen CD for them to hold up
change which the experience of the past few years
shows is necessary if our air lines are to develop.
Not even for the sake of the lesson it would teach,
would anyone wish air crash involving Congress
sional passenger riding free his pass. But forced
landing made necessary by failure of the Commerce
Departments air regulations might have sautary
effect on Congressional chiseers

LIFE OF lola
CITED BY RABBI

The story of ''The Life Of Emile
lola" and his defense of DreyfuS
was today pointed to by DR.. Nor
man Gerstenfeld, associate rabbi
of the washington Hebrew Con-
gregation, as an example Of how
religious prejudice can be fought.
Charging that anti-Semitism is
not crime against any particular
creed, but a tool to undermine
democracy as whole, DR.. Ger
Stenfeld urged the united effort of
high-minded citizens of every faith
as the only successful way to fight
the issue.
DR.. Gerstenfeld added:
To-day we are living in more
difficult times for lovers of free
dom. With the growth of die
tatorShips there is less opportuni-
ty for the prophetic voice to be
heard. In France, lola and
Clemenceau could publish their
indictments of the government
and the army. even members of
the general staff, and could not
be gagged, and the voice of the
'Revisionists' had its day in
court. Compare that to Ger
