Says Boake Carter

to tread on each others corns and forgetting all
about the voters.
The voters want something from someone in
the Republican party which will set them on fire
Mr. Landon exhibits juvenity Senator Vanden-
berg refuses to believe that people are ever
interested in anything constructive. Mr.. Hoover
the best equipped, the keenest and most intell-
gent of the lot is too much of gentleman.
Change in Speech Suggested
IT the Republican party has not learned the
lesson that it must produce principles and pro-
gram besides being against and joyriding on mis-
the goal and devotion of men and women without
definite purpose and principle The Whig party
tried all that" said Mr.. Hoover in his Boston
speech.
Now that means little or nothing to the average
voter. If Mr.. Hoover wanted to say: IF the
Republican party hasn't learned that it is useless
to be 'agin' everything, but must produce some
thing constructive and solid for the people to
cling to, then say frankly that the Republican
party is done. What is more, say frankly that
it should go out of existence under its present
leadership. Let other men, who think in terms
of America first combine under new, vigorous
leadership. Let these put forth fighting
principles, so that the great segment of popula-
ton which has left the New Deal, but cannot
stomach the old Republican party leadership, will
have a new rock of faith on which they can build
new hopes, new spirit, new fight-for America"

Take for instance, Herbert Hoover's Boston

advice from one of its leaders for long time.
But as piece which could be calculated to arouse
the 1900 900 people who voted the Republican
ticket in the last presidential election it missed
fire.
That's the great mistake the party leaders are
now making They're all talking at one another

Train up a child in the way he
should GO: and when he is old, he
will not depart from it. Proverbs
1876. -. .,
The child is the heir of the
past, the happiness of the pres
emit, and the hope of the future.
The training of the child is the
primal parental duty. Train up
the child therefore as the flower
is trained for beauty and a sur
geon is trained for skill.
The training of the child how
ever must set his feet in the path
of right living, and keep his face
toward the right goal, and infill
his heart with the noblest ideals.
Then the long years may come
and 90, but the righteous path
vii still lbe trod and life will be
crowned with glory.
