1t is not only the Republican pro-

fled by Ex-President Hoover, House
Minority Leader Smell, and a dozen
other important factors, that need
coordinating. Their newspaper propa-

to suggest a corn-field conference or
something of the sort for these in
dustrious purveyors of inspired opin:

understanding Of what they are driv-

Perhaps in this way somebody
might get some idea of what the Re-
publican party is standing for or aim

confused readers.

Maine are Townsend planners; Clyde
Smith in the Second District made it
practically his whole issue. Would

We have had Kluxers in both
Houses of Congress. 1t was Senator
Jim Watson of Indiana who at the
height of the Khan activities out there
proclaimed the great political maxim
eff you can't beat 'em, line 'em. "
We had Senator Brookhart Republican
of Iowa, with his Government owner
ship of railroads. We had Huey Long
with his -the-wealth and Every
Man King program. Even that ultra
Brahmin, Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr,
had his Townsendic moments, as when
he was campaigning for his Senator
ship he wrote the Doctor thus: ''The
most deep-seated and eternal aim OF
the human race is leisure and security
for the aged and opportunity for the
young. The Townsend movement is
| the embodiment of this aim, with
which 1 am in complete accord. "
There are two interpretations, OF
| course, to this statement, but there is
no question which he meant Dr. Town
send to take.
The Utopians, honest or merely OPP
portunists, are not the property of any
particular party. Through the years
there have been innumerable imprac-
ticalities, valuable for home consump,
ton, but mere curiosities when they
got to Washington.
Obviously it is not the highest
type Of craftsmanship, to espouse a
movement in which you do not believe
for the sake of comprising an election.

Here and there along the line are
heroes who have defied the dangerous
minorities and are honorcd for their
integrity, but I have yet to hear OF
a political party, or the leader OF
that party, disowning one Of its candi-
dates because he had succumbed to
the temptation. 1 even remember when
that puritanical statesman, Senator
Vandenburg, Endorsed the Townsend
nominated candidate for Congress
from Michigan, in the same breath
in which he denounced the Townsend
plan.
In short, 1 am reluctantly led to
believe that expediency is only to be

refer to the newspaper columnists who
are ostensibly free agents and who
are perfectly impartial in their judg
ment of New Deal activities-that is,
they agree that everything the Presi-
dent does must be wrong and every
body he opposes must be right.
For example, Mr.. Frank Kent was
recently Mortified because the Presi-

California nominee for the U. S.
Senatorship, as Liberal and refused
to be alarmed because that candidate

that this marks the degradation of the
whole New Deal principle.
On the other hand Mr. Mark Sulli-
van halls the defeat of Senator Me-
Adoo by Downey as crushing defeat
for the New Deal and an evidence
that the country is in revolt against
it.
Actually, the McAdoo-Downey con-

bank examiners making periodical in

this lone, small cashier had
fooled the brilliant minds on his

To Dave it was simple. Whenever

would merely take part of his filchings

Tasmanian Devil
(Dasyure family).
BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

RY NAME and nature possessing
satanic qualities, the Tasmanian
devil has carved for himself 4 most
unsaVory reputation among sheep
herders. Through the sunny hours he
rests in cozy burrow, which he fash
ions at the base Of a tree among its
roots. At night he goes forth to kill
and does not kill in order to live. He
reminds you OF the weasel who kills
for the mere Joy of destroying.
The devil is about the size OF our
badger. But more ugly beast would
be hard to find. Like all members Of
his family he is clothed in a brown
or gray suit with white splashes upon
it. The ears are long and well formed
resembling those of the civet cat
tribe. The hearing of the Tasmanian
devils is very good. So is their vision.
Those who have had some encoun-
ters with this night marauder claim
it Is one of the most coWardly animals
when 1t finds it is at the mercy Of
another and more powerful beast. So
whom the devil scatters death and
destruction, its appearance Is the sig
nal for terror and desire to escape.
The head Of this animal is excep-
tionally large and strong. 1t is
equipped with jaws as strong as a
bulldogs and the owner has the same
determination to die rather than give
up. The mouth is filled with cruel
teeth. When the devil yawns land

Appointment OF a welfare slperin-

that keeps him in his place and he

about him altogether.

ried man and we can't seem to be
happy with one another and I
wonder if there is future for us?
Ans: None the trouble is
the fact that he is married and be-
longs to another and he cannot give
you what you want in life. Stop
going with him as you are I'M
happy, he is unhappy, and his wife
is terribly upset and unhappy.

husband. Is it really true and tell
me if we will get along any better
than we are going at present.
Ans: Where there is so much

and what should 1 do about it?
Ans: She wasn't with the par
ticular fellow that you have in
mind on this occasion. There isn't
anything that you can do about her
going out unless you wish to take
her for a wife. Until she is legal
ly married she sees no reason why
she should give up all of her
friends :. the girl is right, too.
R. c.: Am 1 to collect from the
insurance policy that I am holding,
and how much?
Ans: Yes you can collect the
face of the premium if you go to
the local office of the insurance
company concerned. The # c e
value of the policy will be given
you by check and it would be a
mighty good idea for you to bank
your money.
L. L. D.: Tell me what l have
done to my husband for him to be
so unkind? Will he change?
Ans: The blame isn't yours :.
he has just allowed himself to get
in the wrong frame of mind and
doesn't seem to have any particu-
lar interest in his home. You can
change him, however but it
will take plenty of patience on
your part. Force him to see
things differently and try to in
terest him in things that you feel
will make him take a new outlook
on life.
