A PPARENTLY nobody in Washington knows what a

We understand the police cruising around in their

time demands that policemen ride around instead of
walking around but consider that in congested fam
lily districts return to the oldme patrolman would
do lot of good
Anyhow we learn that in number Of metropolitan
cities throughout the country WPA workers have been
called off of the siliest of the al

those in pictures of today.
That takes great burden off the police and also
schoolboy patrols which, when you get down to cases.
tend to hinder instead of help.
We have in Washington large number of husky and
less intelligent who relief. Selection
should be made among these at and those deemed
capable should be put to work guarding Fairgrounds
just these places have been seleced-and the

Lord BeaverbrOOk BOOms
Gannett for i. S. President

T ORD BEAVERBROOK eminent British newspaper
- publisher, is great for Ango-American hands
acrossthe-sea stuff He believes America and England
should stand shoulder to shoulder in the storms that
menace the modern world.
Beaverbrooks affection for the United States is
rather racial and it were, patriotic than economic.
He feels that when to trade the Empire should
be sefcontained possible, along lines laid down
by the Ottawa Conference years ago. with other
nations getting only the seconds
Lord Beaverbrooks affection for America does extend
as far interest in the Presidency of the United
States, and in who is to get the job in 1910.
When Frank E. Gannett arrived in London this week
for holiday the guest of Lord Beaverbrook, that
nobemans London Daily Express blossomed forth with
long article entitled The Man Who
O'"o'"~e' Thinks Roosevelt Wants to Be Hitler"
1.a Mr.. Gannetts life and deeds were then
""'''0" described in detail by Lord Forbes Mr..
Gannet referred to leading Presidential posi-
bility (Repubcan) for 1910.
Lord Forbes happens to be product Of Anglo
American friendship in the most intimate sense His
father is Lord Granard; and his mother born Bea-
trce Mills sister of late Ogden Mills, Secretary
of the Treasury in succession to Andrew Mellon under
President Hoover. You remember Hoover.
Frank Ernest Gannett is sole or controlling owner
in a large string of small-town papers-Rochester
Times-Union, Albany Knickerbocker Press, Utica OBJ
server-Dspatch, Hartford Times, etc., etc.
1t was when the President proposed to remodel the
Supreme Court in February 1887 that Mr.. Gannett's
rise to national prominence really began. Within 10
days after the Presidents opening speech the Court
plan, Mr.. Gannett had written-well anyway, mailed
$4,000 letters to representative in all walks of life
urging them to get out and fight.
Mr. Gannett is running something called the
Nationwide Citizens Mobilization, group dedicated
to defeating every proposal the President makes,
the general ground that Roosevelt wants to be Hitler
We think the Gannett tactics clumsy, in that
like most other Old Dealers he aims them exclusively
at Roosevelt The ultimate effect of that as we figure
it out will be to cause many
G1nnett Us. people in 1910 to reason that
RoooovoH0 Roosevelt is the only important
New Dealer-which would most
likely force Roosevelt's nomination for third term
the development the Old Dealers most fear at this
time.
Well, the London papers above mentioned quoted
Gannett as having paraphrased Jimmy Walkers "Who
could say no?" by remarking:
have sought office but no American could refuse
nomination for the Presidency
Right. And if Lord Beaverbrook has his wav and
Gannett is nominated by the Republicans with all his
background and his connections and Roosevelt runs
against him-boy, what dish Gannett will be!

On ViUisectiOn

May I express my humble
opinion of the letter written by
Marie Gundersen, published in
The Washington Times Of Au-
gust 6?
Concerning the endorsement
by Mrs. Mclean Of your "vivi-
sectors" Among said "tortur-
erS," you mentioned Pasteur. Do
you, by any chance. prefer your
milk full of tubercular germs,
rather than safely pasteurized?
Is it not true that by the ex-
Fermentation upon one monkey,
thousands of human lives may
be saved?
There is a difference between
a prize fight and an auto race.
A prize fight is a battle between
two perfect specimens Of Ameri-
can manhood. An auto race is
a contest to see which fool gets
his neck broken first. I do not
believe that Mrs. Mclean blames
people for witnessing auto races.
She merely pities them. AS for
the drivers themselves, fools rush
in where angels fear to tread.
!. dare say that if a member
Of your family or q close friend
became a victim of a dangerous
criminal, you yourself would not
shrink from the thought Of boil
ing said criminal in oil. Far
better finish up these public
menaceS than to sentence them
to prison, there to be paroled,
and again launched upon a de-
fenseless public.

chickens for frying. Please do
not forget the inhuman fiends
who butchered a contented COW

who murdered a defencelesS pig

every morning.

you have encouraged "deteSt-

Prague, Moscow and Berlin,
plans are being laid and deci-
sions are being made which bid
fair to topple civilization. But
all we get and all the rest Of the
world gets are gueSseS as to the
nature of these conclusions.
The very experiences Of the pub
licists regarding the sections Of
mankind with which they are
best acquainted makes them
long,shot manipulators where
the other sections are concerned.
The horrible business is too octo-
pus-like in its reach for sound
representation.
Armies are being modified
today and sent to distant places
without a word about destina-
tions leaking out. Unlike the
phantom Russian troop trains
which were presumably rushed
across Canada to bolster the
Western front in the winter Of
1914.1915, people do actually see
this new cannon fodder Of the
approaching greatest Of all wars.
They see the soldiers go-but
the government propaganda is
more than a match for the pub
Ncist sleuth. The armies disap-
pear into the impenetranle mistS
Of undeclared wars which are
not being fought today by three
nations-but by q dozen.
THE NEWS dispatches con-
l. corning the World War, cen.
sored though they were, came
pretty near to telling the truth.
This has been fairly well proven
in the three stages of literature
which have been applied to that
epochal event. These are COM
prised in the passionate special
pleadings of the actual war
years, the labor Of the revision
lists and the almost-present.day
findings. The last comes close
to paralleling the first, seeming
to prove that there was pretty
honest dissemination of news as
it occurred on the battlefields.
There is nothing of the kind
now-and peaceful portions of
the world are in complete dark
ness as to the moves and plans
Of the diSturberS. This seems
to mean that new horrors are
set to burst suddenly upon us
as the annexation of Austria
burst upon us. But Hitler's
automobile joy.ride to Vienna
was just that and nothing more
in comparison to the fearfulneSs
Of the actual fact of the future
when the minister of propa-
ganda Of certain nations or a
certain nation sees fit to let us
have it as q fait accompli.
Such, for instance, as the
bombing Of Japan off the face

Cantor, I will Fundamentally
say here that Mr.. Ford has done
more for the American people
and the American churches than
a thousand Eddie Cantors. How
can Cantor say Hitler Is the
worlds greatest gangster? How
about Red Stain in Russia? He
has killed more Gentiles than
Hitler ever killed, and these
prosecutions were never ordered
by Stain, but, to the contrary,
by q Red Russian Jew.
While Cantor was in England
he would have done more for
his country if he had tried to col
lect and bring back some Of the
war debt England owes us, to
feed some Of the 40 million
underfed in the United States.
