SATURDAY, April 9-Bought all
the tools-laWn mower, hoe, rake,
hedge shears, etc. Also Scads OF
vegetable and flower seeds. Cost
me S85 for the lot, but I'll more
than make that back by raising all
our vegetables.
SATURDAY, April 16 - Golly,
this gardening is a lot tougher
than l thought. Guess I'm just
rot used to it. Ted Niblic called
up about golf--told him nothing
doing.
SATURDAY, April 23 - I'm
afraid I'll need some help getting
the garden going this year. Next
season I'll be able to handle it all
myself. Joe Putter called up, but
I told him no golf for me this
year

Says 1 haven't touched the garden
in two weeks, and that the guy l
hired has already cost us $50 Too

WHAT EDITORS SAID
OF PENNSYLVANIA ELECTION

Nec York Sm-The florida primary
election gave the White House general
staff bad case of overconfidence; the
Pennsylvania returns ought to bring all
concerned down to earth.
NeU York NeUS-Perhaps Lewis has
passed the peak of his political strength.
but if he holds his CIO together politi-
cally, he will have the balance of power
in Pennsylvania.
Nep York Herald Tribune-The most
significant feature of the Pennsylvania
primary results is their stinging rebuke
to John L. Lewis better the unobjec-
tionable and timid Mr.. Jones, said the
Pennsylvania Democrats, than a toll of
the ClO autocracy.
Scripps HOWard Newspapers - The
Pennsylvania election, we suspect, is a
turning point in Americas labor move
ment, turning away from the false
path of politics and back toward union
isms true obiectives If so, Tuesday was
a great day for labor.
NeU York Times-It is evident that
another CIO campaign has come a crop
per. In Pennsylvania on Tuesday, as in
Detroit last fall and more recently in
Seattle, the attempt to use industrial
unionism as means of acquiring poll
teal power has failed ingloriously.
San Francisco Chronicle - John L.
Lewis chose Pennsylvania as the field for
his great bid for political power and
lost. The CIO now looks far less formi-
dable as a political force. Kennedy's
charge at Lewis command, like Pickett's
at Gettysburg in the same state, may
we'll have marked 1.-The high tide of the
Committee for Industrial Organization
:. it was to such a disaster at Moscow
that Napoleon looked back from Water
loo"
Detroit Free PreSs-Success of the CIO
ticket would have been ominous. Its fail
ure to make the grade in one of the
strongholds of the organization is reas-
suring.
Columbus, o., Dispatch-It is a note
of announcement to the business man
:. that the American worker, as we'll as
the employer, is aroused to the dangers
which beSet him.
Washington Notwithstanding =. is
the drastic deflatiOn of the high hopes
entertained by John L. Lewis, generals
simo of the CIO, to become a power be-
hind the throne in Democratic politics.
The fact that Kennedy did manage to
poll close to half a million votes =.
proves that the CLOS bid for power was
not a chase for a will O. the wisp.
Baltimore .Sun-It would not do to de-
duce from the defeat of the LeWis-Guffey
combination that Lewis and the CIO are
wholly shorn of power or that their poll
tical aspirations are thrown into the dis
card ;. block of 517, 900 votes is not
to be sneezed at, even in Pennsylvania.
CLeUeidnd Plain DeaIer-The conspicu-
Gus casualty g. =. was John L. Lewis. The
party of the national administration may
now make plans for 1910 without con-
sulting him . E. this should mean the
end of the Lewis menace" in national
Democratic politics.
