city folk keep their dogs with

dogs soon adjust themselves to
such an arrangement.
Dogs are likely to bark and

However, permit me to mention
the most meuacing, the most de-

efforts TO destroy our remaining

1t is the presidents attempt to
defeat every congressman and

THE PRESIDENT BOLTS

IF there is good liberal running on the Re
publican ticket, I would not have the slightest OBJ
lection to his election" said President Roosevevlt
last Thursday at his press conference
In other words the head of the Democratic party
is no longer a strict party He would bolt the
party that elected him and take liberal Republi-
can instead In order to accomplish the principles,
not of the traditional party of which he is the head
but of the New Deal group, he prefers liberal
Republican He is not satisfied to accomplish 80
or 80 per cent of his New Deal policies He is de
termined to make them 100 per cent if he has to
muster congressional strength from all parties and
factions in this country
Senators Champ Clark of Mississippi Glass and
Byrd of Virginia, Bailey of North Carolina, Tyd-
ings of Maryland, Smith of South Carolina, George
of Georgia and others who have been known for
years as Democratic leaders and honored by the
party to which they belong, are not to the Presi-
dents liking and he would vote for liberal Re-
publican rather than support them.
That is the bodest pronouncement the President
has made in recent months bearing on party af-
fiaton and simply proves that the purge OF
political leaders who disagree even 1920 per cent
of the time will continue even at the sacrifice of
the Democratic party.
It means that the Presidents support will be

The old camp-meeting hymn which eX-
horts all present to count their many bless
ings, naming them over carefully one by
one. might not be bad theme song for
the people of the United States these days.
Counting your blessings may give you a
touch of sinful pride, but it also helps you
10 realize how valuable some of the bless
ings really are; and that in turn makes it
much less likely that you will submit meek
ly if and when somebody comes along and
tries to take them away from you.

You can appreciate it best by having a
look at the sort of thing that happens
where free press does not exist.
A current dispatch from Berlin to the
New York Herald Tribune begins like this
'.The Nazi press attained new heights
today IN it's choice of violent language to
condemn the Czechs for arrogant, terror
istic acts in Sudeten territory. Streamer
headlines in Der Angritf, organ of Propa-
ganda Minister Paul Joseph Goebbels,
read: 'Sudetenand in Greatest Distress

( Picture to yourself, now the way YOU
would feel. as an ardent and patriotic
German, after you had lived on that kind
of diet for a week or so. You would be
straining at the leash, probably. Before
land you would be in frame of mind to
support any warlike action your govern
ment might choose to indulge IN, and IN
the end you would probably hail war itself
as "a noble act of liberation and a blow
against shameful tyranny.
/, Behind the scenes, of course. are wire
. pullers who want the whole German ma
tion to feel precisely that way. The Nazl
press campaign is simply means of max

take. And since no one can present the

press campaign is bound to succeed.
And that means that the German people
have been placed at the mercy of their
own emotions, They can be played upon
by their own government, and they have
no defense-because every avenue through
B which their emotions can be reached. every
inlet for news and propaganda, is IN the

prevents, Propaganda does exist, of course
even where the press is free, and false re-
s ports do circulate; but there is always a
counter-weight on the other side. The cltl-

now is perhaps the most powerful OF all
