Senator Dieterich represents

the suave Jim Ham" Lewis rep
presents Chicago. For years the
idea has been to send to the
Senate one downStater and one
Chicago or Cook county man;
but this time the Kelly-Nash
combine is bold enough to pull
a rug from under Senator Diet
erich and offer the State none
other than Mike" 1goe, former
Congressman and now district
attorney in Chicago. Two Cook
county Democratic Senator'S at
once!
However, Governor Horner is
yet to be heard from. He has
no more use for the Cook county
Kelly-NaSh combine than he has
for a rattlesnake, although he,
too, is a Democrat. He suggests
to the voters of Illinois that
they choose a downstater named
Scott Lucas, now in Congress,
from the same neck of the
woods that produced Senator
Dieterich.
Mr.. Lucas Is a young man,
a Legionnaire. an active rural
Illinois politician and could
clean the State with Brother
Igoe when it comes to the kind
of stuff that goes well at the
county fairs in the corn belt.

IT is not too great strain the memory to recall

Thousands upon thousands of words were spoken and
written to convince Congress that prisoners herded
like cattle in the court bupens' that lack of sani
tary facilities was disgrace to the city, and in summer,
the heat was too much for any human to stand.
Finally Congress listened. One and half million dol

plans, still under consideration, would place the city

clined to dispute is the final
passage.
At the time Of the Roosevelt
election, q large number Of
union taxicabs were operating
here. Those cabs were operating
on a sane and profitable rate
basis. A larger number Of nom
union cabs were operating on
a basis that could not be con-
sidered sound or fair to the pub
lie or the drivers, and in de-
fiance of the law.
The Democratic, New Deal"
Congress then passed an amend.
ment to the District Of Colun1-
bia supply bill that enabled the
local government to put all OF
these union cabs out Of buSi-
ness. The local officials prompt
ly did so. Since that time all
of the local cabs have been
forced to operate on an insane
basis and cut-throat competition
was made compulsory.
The writer, who was president
Of the union, warned the PreSi-
dent and begged him to prevent
the local government from fore
ing peonage on the union men.
You know the result.
The President ignored my
pleas and signed the bill. For
opposing enforcement Of the or.
der my license was revoked.
And to the amazement Of all
decent. honest people, their out
rageous conduct was upheld by
the local courts. Is there any
wonder that people have lost
faith in democratic govern
ment?

Dear Miss Robinson
II believe every bride should
give all her savings toward the
new home. It establishes mar
riages on the right foundation
of faith and understanding.
The wife who has worked and
saved money knows what q
mans work means to him, and
they have much more in COM
mon. Teamwork is the basis Of
success in marriage-teamwork
both in savings and faith.
Tangible things acquired to-
gether cement love. If, after
contributing her savings, the
wife still feels she would like
to save money for emergencies.
I suggest saving a little out Of
her allowance each week.
"A small amount put aside
adds up fast. Show me the
man who is not happy to find
that his wife has salted away
a little for the rainy day or
some unexpected mishap!

KEEP AN ACE UP YOUR
SLEEVE AND YOUR
TONGUE IN YOUR CHEEK"
What do YOU think of that as
a policy of Newly.weds?
Dear Miss Robinson:
Il don't believe a girl should
put all her savings into a home.
There's q transition time in mar,
riage-for a girl-between her
former financial independence
and her new dependence on her
husband. If she has a little
money Of her own to lean on, it
will bridge that time.
Besides, men are not saints.
No woman can know what q
man really is before marriage.
How does she know he will play
fair? Faith is fine, but one
must make sure that both parties
are capable of it. Better be
sure than sorry. there are
enough divorces. why not do
ones best to ward another one
off? After a fair trial, any
normal girl should be willing to
give everything.
IF A MAN CAN'T AFFORD
MARRIAGE, LET HIM WAIT
UNTIL HE CAN. Also, there are
plenty Of times. later on, when
the brides savings may be more
needed than at first.

just what sort of a break
do Gramp and Gramma get?
GEORGE T. POWELL, JR., Of
Macon, Ca, is asking-in a
grand letter which should make
many a selfish young couple
Stop, Look and Listen.
Dear Elsie:
II am absolutely against mar.
ried couples living with their
parents, unless it is a matter Of
family necessity. and even then
it is a dangerous experiment,
for it encourages selfishness and
weakness in the Newlyweds.
why should old folk who
have reared a family be worried
with a bride and bridegroom?
Why should Grandma and
Grandpa have to train their
grandchildren? Why shoul d
they have to prepare lunch for
Junior when he comes in from
school, or see that Johnnie
doesn't go out without his
sweater, or that Susie eats her
spinach?
Its all wrong. It puts the
home responsibility on the old
folks who ought, in common de-
cency, to be taking things easy
instead of having to work
harder.
IF the young couple both
work, then poor Father and
Mother must answer the door,
receive all the telephone calls,
send out the laundry, take in
the dry cleaning, buy and haul
home and cook the groceries,
and see that the home ma
chinery runs smoothly at all
times. And, If either son or
daughter gets sick, poor Father
and Mother must call the doctor
and wait upon the patient.

I have been taking your
paper now for several years,
but it seems that I'm not go
ing to be able to keep that up
much longer.
There are times when think
that you are about as fair
minded as one can reasonably
expect. It also strikes me,
much Of the time that you
really try to give us the news
as palatably as possible.
There are some things, how.
ever, that offset these good
points and there are times when
I wonder why in "tunket" any.
one would voluntarily be both
cred by your paper.
One OF the things that have
been an irritant to me in the
past few months is the constant
ballyhooing Of books for sale.
Maybe I'm iITitated by this
because they're things I should
buy. But day after day these
things seem to jump right up
out of the page and hit me In
the eye. Here's hoping that the
books will soon all be sold and
that valuable space used for
more pleasing purposes.
