Because the Preparedness Day

against Billings, under California
law, the pardon application must
first be acted upon by the Supreme

1t is true that the American

not permitted the smoke Of that

necessity for making changes

immortal Lincoln said, you cam

Swing Is to Republicans

Ever since the war broke out
in Europe, the New Deal propa-
ganda choir has hent up q chant
tn a t the reelection of Presi-
dent Roosevelt for a third term
was inevitable. The American
people, they said, in effect, would
now forget the failure of the
New Deal, the maladministra-
ton of their government, the
broken promises and the general
lowerig of living standards in
the las six years.
All these things, said the naive
New Dealers, the people would
forget because their attention
would be distracted by a war
1000 miles away with which
the United States has no direct
concern. And, so glib were the
New Dealers in promoting this
contention that many persons,
including some political writer's,
fel for it. Even some Republicans
ruefully lamented what seemed
to them a lucky break for the
New eDal.
But now it is obvious that all
this talk has been stuff and non
sense. 1t became obvious to all
who could read on Election Day
this month. The results of the
elections held from the Atlantic
to the Pacific indicated without
any doubt that the tide of senti-
ment which set in against the
New Deal year ago was mount
ing higher at an accelerated
rate. Let the propagandists,
those who speculate on political
trends and the straw vote polls
say what they will, there is no
escaping the fact revealed in
these elections.
The New Dealers have tried
to explain away these election
results. browning Jim Farley
ignoring the remainder of t h Q
country, undertook to find Joy
in the fact that Tammanv Hall
scored a few victories in New
York City. Victories by Tam
many Hall may please jim Far
ley but they must be gall to Pres
Franklin Delano Roosevelt and
the inner White House clique
which a short time ago proposed
baishing Tammany Hall to eter-
nal darkness.
But even Jim Farley cannot
find genuine pleasure in the New
York results-the only place
where the Republicans failed to
make gains. He must know that

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER "a, 1899

Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia and
LaGuardia is much more of a
New Dealer than a Republican,.
He also must have heard a few
suggestions that, if Mr.. Roose-
welt does not seek reelection
next year Mr.. LaGuardia be
placed on the New Deal ticket
next year for vice-preSident in
order to assure victory in New
York. w h a t strength can La
Guardia give the New Deal tick
ct when he cannot even bring
about the election of police
magistrates?
The general New Deal atti-
tude toward the election results
represented an effort to wave
them aside as unimportant.
They were just local elections
and national policies were not
involved, say the New Dealers.
But rational issues were inject
ed into a number of these local
Elections and they were inject
ID INTO them by the Republicans
because they believe they have

Sey, in upper New York state

National Committee, we carried
Mississippi and Kentucky! Yes,

So did the Republicans carry
Maine and Vermont in 1886
but that did not give them the

was carried by q Democrat by
a margin Of 1000 votes. Jump
ing back to 1884 Mr.. brewer,
recalled t hat the Democratic

YOUTH IN LIMELIGHT-

Indications from all parts of the
United States are that the observance
of Boys and Girls Week, April 20 to
May 6, will be more widespread this
year than ever before.
The Rotary club has sponsored this
event here for anumber of years,
several years ago as Boys week, and
since 1884 including the girls.
The objects are worthy and are re-
peated here, merely to give the older
citizens of the county some food for
thought.
1. To focus public attention upon
boys and girls, their potentialities
and their problems, to the end that in
creasing numbers of adults may be
awakened to the joys and opportuni-
ties of youth service and inspired to
participate.
2. To give impetus to year-round
programs of character building activi-
ties for the general welfare of boys
and girls; and to acquaint the public
with the agencies which are serving
this purpose.
3. To emphasize the importance
of a sound body, a trained mind, and
spiritual growth in the complete de-
velopment of the boy and girl; and to
emphasize the important functions If
the home, the church, and the school
in such development. f.
A. To emphasize the need of instill-
ing in the boys and girls the love of
country and respect for its laws and
established institutions and of bring
ing to each the realization of his duties
and responsibilities as citizen.
Citizens will be able to help see
that these objectives are achieved
when the local club announces its de-
tailed program which will include an
achievement contest.

DOCTOR HENRY

People in all walks of life mourn
the passing of Doctor Henry W. Nc
Comas. For fifty years he saved the
lives of the poor and the rich, the
farmer, the laborer, and the business
man.
He was subject to their call at all
hours of the night and day-whenever
and wherever sickness in any form
descended. Many hundreds of people in
the county today were brought into
the world by doctor Henry" as he
was intimately termed by his friends.
People will miss him as their friend,
as their physician, as their adviser.
The immediate community will miss
his presence in everyday affairs. He
was active in quite a number of organ
izations formed for the betterment of
mankind, and his whole life apparently
had been given over to helping hu-
manity.
Other physicians will fill the va
cancy thus made in the medical ranks
and they will render service to suffer
ing mankind. Other people will fill his
place in the various organizations in
which he had been active. Others will
he active in community affairs and
their interest will be acceptable to
the people.
But there was only one doctor
Henry" and he has passed on. His
passing is deeply regretted.
