NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
LIBERALISM OR BoSSISM? VOTER MUST
DECIDE

The President tells the people over the radio:
81 certainly would not indicate preference IN
State primary merely because candidate, other
wise liberal in outlook, has conscientiously differed
with me on any single issue"
And yet Senator Van Mugs, of Indiana, Demo-
erat whose record of liberalism stands out un
paraleled and who made the mistake" of fighting
the Presidents plan to pack the Supreme Court
has been marked for political slaughter with the
Presidents acquiescence.
When Mr. Roosevelt asks the country to dis
tingush between himself as President and as
head of the Democratic party he is asking for
distinction which really means an affirmation of
his rights as a party boss. He reserves the priv-
lege of defining liberalism in every individual case,
even including a psycho-anaytcal study of what
he curiously terms the inward desire Of can
didate apart from his public record.
True liberalism never has meant being liberal
with taxpayers money. Nor has it ever connoted
disregard of the rules of prudence and thrift In
the management of the peoples financial affairs.
If to be liberal is to scoff at nine successive years
of deficits, then let us pray to God to make most
of conservatives this year in the congressional
elections. For in that word conservative" there
is at least suggestion of conserving the peoples
assets and protecting their savings and fruits OF
toll.
Liberalism, 1898 STYLE evidently means New
Bossism. And Conservatism" means freedom from
the tyranny of bossism and from the kind of ad-
ministration which can remain strangely indiffer-
ent, on the of the close of the fiscal year, to
the NEST terrifying depths into which the nations
finances ever have been plunged.
Would it be "mean blow" for the American
people to ask Mr.. Roosevelt to tell them on the
radio sometime when and how repayment is
to be made of the $4,000, 100000 his adninistra-
ton has spent in excess of receipts in the last five
years?-United States News.
