to support a wife and government.

Twenty years after the World War
''to make the world safe for democ-
racy," there were 345 million out of
Europe's $50 million people who are
living under relationships in twelve
European countries, and democracy is
banished from four-ffths of continent
tai Europe.
And now most of the nations are
earned to the teeth" to start another
war. Seems like nothing was learned,
nothing was settled by that monstrous
struggle.
AS long as European nations are
under the spell of Mars, the United
States should be prepared. Prepared
ness for war is one of the best ways of
promoting peace in a country such as
ours.
During discussion recently the
question of transients and panhand-
lers came up. One said he always gave
them the benefit of the doubt, and usu-
ally gave them something. Then he
never had the guilty feeling that ne
had turned away one who was really
in need of food or money.
Another thought that with all the
relief funds, there should be some
agency where a transient could go for
handout.
Still another said he had agreed
with the second one until an incident
occurred several weeks ago. A fam
lily drove up to this mans house and
told hard luck story. The home
owner looked at the family car and the
apparent "style" in which they We're
travelling, told them they could find
lodging and food in the County Jail
and just the same as told them to
move on-that they weren't getting a
handout there.
1t turned out that the party was a
family of friends whom the man had
mot seen for quite some time. So he
concluded by saying that it was best
to be very sure before turning any
body away.
There are so many people, however,
who take advantage Of the kind heart
edness of others that they abuse the
privilege and make it doubly hard for
the worthy who are really in need. The
best way, when a man wants money
for cup of coffee and sandwich, is
to give the man an order to a restau-
rant for the food and not give out any
money This is satisfactory, only, of
course, when your own credit is good
at the restaurant.

under a tub or maybe under the stove
shown in the drawing she made and
sent to me. With a little practice she
could be on a par with Rembrandt -
maybe.
She paints a man standing by a
mantle, cards in his hand His shirt
is collarless affair of yellow organ
die, with short, puffy sleeves, reveal
ing the somewhat bullying muscles of
the man with the accompanying hair
on his arms. His trousers are knee
length, purple in color, with orange
belt and knee carriers, no stockings,
with the customary hair on the gen.
tleman's limbs very apparent, con-
Guiding with pink slippers of the pump
variety. His shirt carries a dog mono
gram.
Beside the mantle is the cause of all
the trouble - the coal stove, with a
full bucket of coal nearby. The artist
even puts a vase with flowers on the
mantle and above is a picture of a
home with a tree and meadow, IN
which is depicted, l hope, cow. Il
could be a dog, however, except that
dog rarely has a COW bell dangling
from its neck.
From this description it is possible
that your curiosity will get the better
of you. If so, said picture may be seer
by calling at The Republican office.

Biographical Information


Biographical Information
1t might be interesting to look at
the war records of the three in Wash
ington who are doing their best to get
US into another war. What did they do
when the country was in need of SOL
diers? Here are the records:
WILLIAM C. BULLITT: 26 year
of age, single, rich, no dependents in
1917. Ho found a job in the State De-
partment and did not enlist.
HAROLD ICKES: "a years of age,
single, no dependents in 1898, when
Illinois was frantically calling for vol
unteers for the war with Spain. He did
not enlist.
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT: In
his seventeen year, rich, husky in
1898, when New York also was calling
for volunteers for the war with Spain.
More than 10000 boys of 16 and II
lied like soldiers and gentlemen in
order to volunteer, but F. D. R. stayed
at home. He was 35 in 1917, healthy,
husky, rich, but again he did not en-
list. He stuck to his $4,000 year
civilian job in the Navy Department,
his naval experience having been
gained through sailing a catboat on
Hudson River. Theodore Roosevelt, at
~, and occupying the same job, re-
signed in 1898 and took active service
in fever-1idden Cuba.
These three are the sword rattlers
of today, yelling their heads off over
patriotism, America First, we can
whip the world, down with dictators-
and l wonder where Jimmy, Elliott,
John and Franklin, Jr, will be if war
comes again.

In fact, the old fashioned
house cleaning, that turns
everything upside down.
and makes tempers short
and bodies weary, is a thing
of the past for all those
who live electrically. But
if you haven't the electric
aids to living that make
housecleaning easy, why not
decide to get them now anc
let them do this Springs

Todays Sports Parade

i, to go only to Tuesdays game, say
he still must buy tickets for We'd
nesday's and Thursdays games
The tickets are sold only in blocks
of three: The only reason for this
I can figure out is that is is in
honor of each of the bases, first
second, and third.
The block-or, better still, the
blockhead system, works a hard
ship on the average baseball fan.
Take man who supports his club
all year by going once or twice a
week to games, and paving the
dollar or so admission. Along comes
the series and when this fan wants
to see series game on his day off
he finds it will cost him $3.50. the
price of three $3.50 tickets. The
price shouldn't be boosted so much,
in the first place. 1t is the same
game, in the same setting, with
the same players.

BY HENRY MCLEMORE-

NEW YORK. Sept. %. CUP)-
There are several things concern
ing the world series that I woulc
like YOU intelligent readers to cleal
up for me. To begin with, who
was the inspired man, woman OF
child who thought up the name
for the yearly battle between the
National and American league
winners, and what was his justi-
fication for such an all-embrac-
ing title?
AS a matter of fact it is as eX-
elusive as Bailey's beach. what with
teams from only 10 American ci-
ties permitted to contest for a right
to play in it. There might be ter
rifle teams in Tulsa or Tokyo or
Timbuctoo but you can imagine
the reception they'd get if they
showed up at the scene of the
world series early in October and
said that they thought they were
the best baseball players in the
world and would like to play for
the championship of the world.
Being very literal minded, | sug-
gest that in the future it be re-
ferred to as: The New York-Chi-
cago-Bcston- Cincinnati i-Pittsburgh-
Philadelphia Detroit st. Louis
Washington Cleveland series" or
more briefly, the NYCBCPPDSLWC
series
Another point I would like to
have cleared up is this: is the WIN
ner of the world series always the
best ball club in either of the two
leagues? Maybe you say yes. I say
no. Take the approaching world
series, for example If the Yankees
should be beaten by either Cincin-
natl or st. Louis, the fact still
would remain that the Yankees are
the best team in the big leagues
Seven games are not enough to de-
termine the true ability of a team.
One or two good pitchers, or a
couple of hitters who are in a hot
streak, can swing a short series.
Breaks don't have time to even up.
Another thing that has me clutch
ing at my slightly red raven locks |
N bewilderment is how baseball
gets by with the world series ticket
sale arrangement it has devised and
oeen using for several years. There
S no such thing as a PRISON being
lble to buy one ticket to one world
series game. Even if a man wants
