To New York state voters, No
vember's gubernatorial election will
be a matter of choosing between
two worthy men, once co-workers
against crime, now political oppo-
nents through trick of circumstance.
Odds appear to be growing that the
Democratic Gov. Herbert II. Leh-
man will beat Manhattan's racket
busting District Attorney Thomas E.
Dewey, Republican nominee.
Merits for Dewey: An amazing
record of fighting New York city's
criminal element since he was ap-
pointed special prosecutor by Gov
ernor Lehman in 1885. Young (only
38), handsome, crusader, he new
ertheless has little governmental
background outside the court room.
Merits for Lehman: Almost 40
years manufacturing and banking
experience that have enabled him to
run the Empire state on business
basis. He battled successfully
against legislative opposition to his
sweeping set of laws expediting
criminal procedure, went on to wipe
out 500, 0O0, 900 deficit left by his
predecessor, Franklin Roosevelt.
Dewey Support: New York state
Republicans. He must win ESQ, 900
votes which Lehman controlled in

much Of his crop could be sold at
the "cost Of production" price. The
rest would be sold abroad. Chief
objection here is that all farmers
would raise all the grain they could,
knowing portion of it would be sold
at home for a handsome price. In
the end, granaries would be flooded.
Another plan, said to carry some
Republican support, calls for unre-
stricted production, with the govern
ment substituting farmers the diff
ference between the free market
price and the ''fair" price, revenue
to come from a processing tax. This,
too, might soon lead to flooded
granaries, reducing the market
price and making subsidy payments
too large for the government to
bear.
For cotton, the administration has
made specifically different propos-
ais, opposing export subsidies and
favoring subsidies on domestic con-
sumption. Now being studied Is a
dovetailing plan substituting manu-
facturers who agree to process cot
ton for low-price sale to relief and
low income families.
Whether Republicans can make
much campaign capital from
preaching against the New Deals
farm policy, is problematical. Ad-
hitting each party has a political
interest, it must also be admitted
that each is sincere in attempting
to help producers. It may be a
choice between exploring untried
plans under Secretary Wallace's
leadership, or attempting once more
such measures as the Republican
McNary-Haugen and export deben-
ture farm bills.
Foreign
As might be expected, the worlds
first reaction to Munich's peace was
a prayer Of thanksgiving that war
had been avoided. For the moment,
England's Prime Minister Neville
Chamberlain was a hero, as was
Frances Premier Edouard Dalai
der. But on sober reflection the
treaty took another color. Both
Chamberlain and Daladier are now
threatened with political oblivion on
the charge that they "sold out"
Though France "steamrollered"
through parliament the pact that
gave Adolf Hitler his every demand
in the Czechoslovakian Sudeten ter
ritory, senatorial election comes
up late this month in which Premier
Daladier's Radical Socialist party
may be defeated by leftist Leon
Blurn's Socialists.
In England, the chief objector to
Mr.. Chamberlain's policy was Al
fred Duff Cooper, first lord of the
admiralty, who resigned charging
England had surrendered to the
"bluster and blackmail" of Adolf
Hitler. Throughout the crisis Mr..

caused hard feelings among other
cabinet members and created an
anti Chamberlain parliamentary
bloc. Not speaking, but threaten

opposition to the cabinets 'tconsort-
ing'' with dictators.
BY "consorting," Mr.. Chamber
lain has surrendered to Hitler and
Mussolini, making the Reich SUI
preme in Europe, giving Germany
more land and power than she en-
joyed under Kaiser Wilhelm in 1914.
With Czechoslovakia being slowly
dismembered by Germany, Poland
and Hungary, little remains in the

Having ended the first quarter of
its fiscal year with a deficit of

just ended, total years deficit would
be $4,000. 600, 900. considerably less
than 1855 figure of $4,000, 000, 900.

From Chicago to the Pacific north
west run half dozen or more rail-
roads, each over separate road
bed, each serving different territory,
each stepchild Of pioneer boom
days. Today, when the Northwest's
trade has settled down to normally,
when trucks, buses and automo-
biles have stolen much short haul
business, railroads find their expen-
sive investments paying poor divi-
dends.
Since rural communities were
usually built in the wake of rail ex-
pansion, a shutdown in service
would bring civic disaster, more
over would throw men out of work
and thus cause national disaster.
Another of railroading's problems
are its $4,000 workers whose pay
has been increased 1872 per cent
since 1916, whose laboring hours
have dropped through faster sched-
ules and federal legislation.

Depressed by glutted markets and
the passing of Europe's war scare,
wheat stood October / at about so
cents on the farm, while cotton sold
at about 8 cents. This happened
despite Secretary of Agriculture
Henry Wallace's sincere efforts to
win economic equality for agricul-
ture," a status for which the New
Deal has struggled since 1888.
Added to the administrations
woes is November's general cleo
ton, in which Republicans could
lure much New Deal farm support
by advocating a direct price subsidy
with unrestricted production, as
against the current farm legisla-
ton which seeks to stabilize prices
by controlling production.
Partly for fear of such political
opposition, Secretary Wallace has
been advocating a restoration of
processing taxes, which were
thrown out by the Supreme. court
because they were collected for a
specific purpose, and which could
now be enacted as part Of the gen.
eralrevenue. From this fund would
be paid subsidies on surplus farm
products placed on the usually low
price export market.
This is the administrators plan.
A second idea. the McAdoo-Eicher
bill, would order the agriculture de-
partment to determine each years
prospective crop and the demand
for it, then telling each farmer how

labor vote which, though it helped
elect him district attorney last
year, is still Democratic.
Lehman support: New York state
Democrats, who have controlled the
governorship many years; New
York city Jewry, because Lehman
is Jewish; Tammany (what is left
of it), because Tammany bitterly
dislikes Tom Dewey for prosecuting
its favorite son, Jimmy Hines; the
American Labor party, because
Lehman has endorsement of both
A. F. of L. and c. !. 0.
Since he must attack his strong
est points, Candidate Dewey's first
blast was against Tammany, which
necessitated dragging Candidate
Lehman into the picture. Uninten-
tionally, said Mr.. Dewey, the gov
ernor is "the good will advertising,
the front man and window dressing
for thoroughly corrupt machine"
Proud of his own anti-crime record,
Governor Lehman answered he was
amazed that the young district
attorney would abandon his rack
cts prosecution to enter government
al affairs in which he has "no real
record of accomplishment"
What everyone knows is that Tom
Dewey can have anything he wants
from the Republican party, even the
1910 presidential nomination, if he
wins. That is one reason Franklin
Roosevelt was willing to patch up
his quarrel with Governor Lehman,
who opposed the Supreme court en-
largement BILL. It is also why New
York's campaign is attracting ma
tional attention.

est national memorial outside of
Washington, d. C. There are Is
acres of ground from which the gov
ernment removed 54 buildings of the
business district Of the city, and
now after an expenditure Of two and
a half million dollars, here is a
magnificent memorial, near by are
historic buildings, including the
small two-story frame house in
which William Henry Harrison, as
first governor of the northwest ter.
ritory, presided over the legislature
for that eXpanse out of which has
been carved the states of Ohio, Illi-
nois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Mich
igan.
Within the great circular granite
memorial stands a bronze figure Of
Clark, nine feet two inches high,
surrounded by an inscription in the
floor to the effect that a country not
worth defending is not worth claim
ing. On the walls are seven large
and impressive paintings, the third
representing Clark's small army
wading the flooded country in mid
winter with scanty supplies of food.
The fifth mural is particularly i'm
pressive as the British march out in
their scarlet colored uniforms, the
colonel presenting his sword, hilt
first, to Clark while the French in
habitants gaze upon the scene. Each
Of these seven paintings is 16 feet
wide and 2S feet high. The artist
was three and one-half years III
gathering data, sketching and paint
inc of ,,,h;
lead and 16 gallons of varnish were
required to mount them on the wall,
where they were smoothed with roll
lers and ironed with electric irons.
We believe that every memorial fea~
ture of this interesting place could
have been had with the same
amount of money in an endowed
hospital, which would have blessed
the poor of suffering humanity every
hour of the day and night onward
indefinitely.
There are many other objects of
interest which can quickly be seen
before hating on the Illinois side
to view the beautiful and impressive
memorial to Abraham Lincoln, who
crossed the Wabash at Vincennes on
his way to Illinois. 1t is interesting
to note that the original trail blaz-
ers through here were the buffalees,
which forded the river at this point
and buffalo trails in many places
made easy access for indolent In

Jonathan: Courageous Friendship,
I Samuel 20:4-17, for Sunday, Sept.
IS:
This lesson purposes to lead to an
understanding of the meaning of
true friendship and to realization
that such friendship may prove
costly.
V. 4. ''Then said Jonathan unto
David Whatsoever thy soul desir-
eth, l will even do it unto thee .
Here is the basis for real friend
ship-the doing what another needs,
and is done for his good, without
any thought of being compensated
just as Jesus did, the Friend OF
friends. David was marked for
death and Jonathan was Offering
himself as means of saving his
life. Jonathan gave up his rights
in defense of David, sign Of a
great character.
VS.. 5, 6. "And David said unto
Jonathan, Behold tomorrow is the
new moon, and l should not fail to
sit with the king at meat; but let
me go that I may hide myself in the
field in the third day at even. If thy
father at all miss me, then say,
..David asked earnestly to take leave
of me that he might run to Beth
lehem, his city; for there is yearly
sacrifice there for all the family. ;"
David was wise that he would not
unnecessarily expose himself to be-
ing killed. Yet David was not a
coward, for did he not kill the boast
full Goliath? Here is principle in
volved-one is foolish to take any
physical risk when there is no great
moral issue at stake.
V. 7. "If he say thus, 1t is we'll;
thy servant shall have peace; but if
he be very wroth, then be sure that
evil is determined by him. A men
tai state portrays heart condition.
Worse than bullets are evil motives.
No battle is ever won by bullets;
troubles are solved only by correct
ing the motives of men.
V. s. Therefore, thou shalt deal
kindly with thy servant; for thou
hast brought thy servant into a COW
enant of the Lord with thee; not
withstaanding, if there be within me
iniuuity, slay me thyself; for why
shouldest thou bring me to thy faith
er? Jonathan's willingness to do
anything for David is fully recipro~
Gated True friendship works that
way.
V. 9. "And Jonathan said, Far be
it from thee; for il / knew certainly
that evil was determined by my
father to come upon thee, then
would not tell it thee?" A true
friend is quick to tell of possible
dangers. Here is one value OF
friendship.
VS.. 10, II. "Then said David to
Jonathan, Who shall tell me? Or
what if thy father answer thee
roughly? And Jonathan said unto
David Come let us go into the
field" True friends not only talk
together but they walk together.
How natural for friends to take
stroll through the woods where
they are alone in Gods out-of-doors

unto David, o Lord God OF Israel
