American Systen Would End
NVHE UNITED STATES would need virtual
l. dictator in washington to coordinate the
activities of the nation during the period OF war
emergency. After being straitjacketed under
dictatorship operation for two or three years.
the American system Of free enterprise would
be so dislocated that the dictatorship would
have to be extended in the subsequent years Of
peace.
Furthermore we can only Judge by ap-
pearances-if the nation encountered such an
emergency during the presidency Of Franklin
Roosevelt, thoughtful people doubt that, unlike
Wilson, he is true democrat enough to relin-
quish in peace time dictatorial powers gained IN
war time. Even in peace time, he has been
reluctant enough to abandon the depression

Handy Tool For Professional AgitGtOrS
THERE IS ALSO the citizen who is so naive
- that his simplicity makes him handy tool
for the professional agitator's suave efforts to
pull down any social system in which private
enterprise flourishes. But the common char
acteristic of this loose citizenship is that it
would stir fellow-citizens to war, not on prac-
teal issues but for an theology. The greatest

the mind Of every citizen Of this country is:

CoRDEIL HULL, our Secretary of State, from
~ what can gather around the country, is the
most beloved and respected man in America to-
day. There is never any discussion about this
mans ability. Some may not agree with his for
eign policy, but, as man, one and all are united
as to his ability, integrity. and his sincerity The
only thing against Mr.. Hull as a presidential
candidate Is his age.
There is another splendid man right in Wash
ington who has made 100 per cent good in his de-
partment, and that is Jesse Jones. The country
wouldn't have to worry about the money angle
if Mr.. Jones was in the White House, but doubt
very much If you could tempt him even to think
Of being candidate. He has his own large in
terests and he has served his government faith
fully and well here in Washington at a great
sacrifice to himself.
1t does seem to me so wrong that the minute
man is nominated for President, even if he
doesn't care about it himself, those around him
start working for another term. Why can't the
President have six years and have it finished
then? It would do away with so much Of this
nerveracking playing politics; this trying to con-
troll the party machine so 1t can be used later
on for new votes
1t is the American citizen, though, that in the
end decides who shall be his next President. Up
to date the people have picked pretty splendid
men, and don't think there is much to worry
about that they won't continue to do the same
in the future.

enact a combined tax on District
incomes and sales threatened to-
day to widen a reported rift in

Committee and delay submission

line set by Congress.
The new opposition developed
Saturday night. At a special
meeting, the Federation of Cit

against the combination tax pro-

an alternative which would i'm
pose a graduated income tax or

DREW FIRE BEFORE
It was on these proposals that
criticism focused two weeks ago at
public hearings on tentative plans
drawn by the tax advisory com.
mittee, to alter the existing syS
tenn Of District taxation.
At a meeting last Wednesday
the committee was represented
as splitting on the combination
tax, with one faction insisting on
the substitution of a graduated
income tax.

Spokesman for the federation
said it was unlikely substitute pro

Walter Huston Lives as
Abraham Lincoln in a
Superb Production
The Perturbation of the Entire
Life of Americas Beloved
Martyred President

The spectacular production of
Abraham Lincoln" which will be
shown at the First Methodist
church Tuesday, September Goth at
7:30 pm, is much more than sub
lime entertainment, more than the
marshalling Of interesting facts into
a pattern. work of sympathetic ro-
nance and vivid drama; it is the
life of Lincoln, not merely tn e
apothsosized saint of the copy
books, nor yet the Lincoln Of the
lusty jokes and tragic moods, but
the man of destiny, the mystic and
prophet.
This Lincoln, remarkably por-
trayed by Walter Huston, lives as
boy, youth and man, his life an epic
of America. 1t is not the Lincoln
of bronze monuments and marble
sculpture, but the Lincoln Of flesh
and blood; divinely human, loving,
thinking, fighting 1t has well been
called "the wonder picture of the
century" for it portrays the most
romantic figure of the world as a
master, plotting great nation.
With remarkable fidelity and
feeling, the picture opens with the
birth of Lincoln, followed with his
early day hardships, his clerkship
In q country store and his beautiful
courtship of Ann Rutledge, until
she dies. Then to his fitting of
Mary Todd, and their subsequent
; marriage with its many amusing
domestic chickering's, with his cleo
ton as president, Lincoln is seen as
q changed man. The lines of worry
crease his rugged face and set 1t in
sublime misery of conflicting emo
tions. Lincoln's struggle to preserve
the Union against the intrigues of
state and war Is graphically told
| in q series of dramatic incidents.
The public Is invited to attend
the showing of this outstanding all
talking production.

Keeping Fruit

It Is not unusual for farmers TO
keep vegetables in sand over win
ter, but there are fewer of them who
realize that fruits can be kept fresh
for a long time in the same way.
The skins or rinds. being poreous,
the dry sand absorbs the liquid in
the fruit that would otherwise cause
decomposition. Do not wrap the
fruit in paper, but let the rind
come in contact with the sand. Put
a layer of sand about six inches
deep, then fruit, then sand to cover
them well. Do not bury oyer-ripe
or spoiled fruit.
