write articles appearing in
hundreds of papers belittling
the President, which gives for
eigners a bad impression.
For instance, in the election
news, some Senators sent to
the Senate as Democrats, (Chair.
man Hamilton, Of the Republi-
can committee was quoted
worked shoulder to shoulder
with the Republicans to defeat
the President and the New Deal
yet some paid columnists did
not want the President to tell
the voters about them.
They did not tell in South
Carolina a poor union textile
worker, where the poll tax is
$1.50 a year and few vote, was
sent as governor Of the State.
They talked of him for the
Senate since last August. In 60
ing over his record they found
him against them on the child
labor bill, convict labor law, q
road gang strike, company stores
and they could not figure out
how he owned so much real
estate in so short a while. The
AFL refused to support him and
the President knew it.
In Georgia, where good men
are scarce, the AFL refused to
go along with the CIO, the at
torney was not liked and Tai
madge was anti-Roosevelt: poll
tax kept many away from the
polls; Senator George told them
he was not as bad as painted.
So he won. Time will tell if
the utilities still play politics
in Georgia.
In Maryland, corporation
money was traded for votes.
The AFL and the CIO did not
run smoothly. Senator Tyd-
ings won the primary but may
lose in the general election.

We Pity This Mother,
But Feel No Sorrow

0NE OF the saddest stories of many week is that
" of the conviction of the mother of young baby
on charges of violation of the sanitary code.
For brings home forciby the fact that in the Capt.
tai there are persons who, through ignorance fear
are responsible for the spread of that most terrible dis
ease tuberculosis.
The District government and the United States Gov
doing all in their to check the spread
of that disease For those without funds disqualification
is provided.
And special is given expectant mothers, in the
hone that transmission of the disease to the next gener
alton may be halted
In the before the mother urged to enter
. hospital for treatment, but
Sentenced 10 J0U refused Now she is under
For One Year sentence of a year in Jail,
,i+b tho sentence SUSPENDED provided she undergoes
+oo+,on+ and nlaces her child in tuberculosisfree
home.
Il is terrible punishment for mother to have her
child taken away from her. We can 1eel pity lor '"S
mother but we cannot feel sorrow
For after ALL it is the duty of parent to give child
every chance to become healthtu and useIul clVlz
Tn this case the mother refused her child the right OF
health She refused to take the treatment tnat "oulu
have ensured her baby chance tor heatn'
If an adult refuses disqualification, that IS MS or
her prerogaive provided the refusal does not endange
the rest of the community
But no parent has the right, legal or moral to en-
danger the life of child through refusal to take ac-
tion which medical science deems necessary
We hope the sad example of this one mother will be
lesson to Others and that those suffering from dis
case will place themselves in the hands of doctors who
will cure or at least check the ravages of the disease

else. Let us resolve that we will
fight only in defense Of this

And stilled the potent pen
And resting on your quiet brow
The caress of God and men.
You cannot sleep who are alive
On pages lined in gold,
For as October will soon arrive
Your words will not grow old.
So rest, I pray; you have won
Your niche in poSterity;
Alive, alive in earth and sun
Your words have set you free.

A Suggestion

However, do feel Herr
Luger's attempts to challenge
my statements have involved
too many technicalities. My re-
marks were general as to scope
but definite as to fact, when
I attempted to outline the
achievements Of members of
the Second, Twenty-ninth and
Seventy-ninth Divisions, respec-
lively.
I might offer this thought
as a suggestion being as the
gentleman has a penchant for
writing:
If an occasion presents itself,
I would advise that he write a
letter to the No. / Wood Chopper
at Doom, Netherlands. Possibly
CnaC elderly ana detected former
war lord might furnish a more
compr ehensive view Of Americas
might. for instance let us say
at the Hindenburg Line, than
this writer.
"Punchy" citizens such as
Herr Luger appears to be, un-
questionably must come under
that far too large category of
those persons who, enjoying
a peaceful haven amid demo-
cratic settings. and far removed
from Old World turmoil. ex-
press their appreciation by con-
Stantly lashing out at American
