by their lasting accomplishments.
Comparing deeds of pioneers, done
through necessity and with poor
equipment, with deeds of today is
about like wearing a necktie when
one has long beard.
see where James A. Farley, Demo-
cratic National Committee chairman,
and Alexander Woollcott, the writer,
were invited to be weekend guests at
their country estate and to attend a
clambake at Fishkill, country estate
of Secretary of the Treasury Henry
Morgenthau a.. let's see ;. Demo-
cratic chairman, writer, clambake at
FiShkill . u-mm!
That sounds strangely significant
to me- The lowly fish has peculiar
ity all its own in causing men to
divulge their secrets. Fishing? ah
and fish? That is the life to
bring out the best in man. wouldn't
doubt but that that third term state
ment has been hiding right in those
clam shells all the time.
'No Danzig War;" says Hitler aid.
Well, you can't blame him. No one
wants to run head first into barbed
wire ENHANCEMENT, and especially if
there are lot of bayonets sticking
from it.
Of course, as the British Parliament
Laborites will tell you, those are not
bayonets sticking out of the entangle-
ment but rather some of the country
legal tender . it is rumored most
consistently that Der Fuehrer'S gov
eminent has been granted loan by
Britain if he will disarm to certain
degree.
l hope, if that is true, that Brit
aims loan to Germany will prove safer
than that of ours to - =!
l wonder if Hitler went over and
picnicked with Britain's Prime Min
lister before the loan was made, that
is if there has been loan.
Well, by golly, money can heal a
lot of ills, but 1 never have known
and neither have you, dear reader,
that dictator has been entirely paci-
fed with pecuniary gain, if power
and glory were missing.
Now that's where politicians differ
from dictators . the former would
like to have power and glory and then
money on top of that to cele-
brate with.
Headlines in newspapers tell us
"Solons Doubt Congress Will End
This Week." Well, don't know; it's
getting pretty hot down there in
more ways than just the temperature.
The Federal Reserve board is cred
tied with the report that business had
made substantial gains in June and
the first half of July. Minnesota bust
ness men must have been off-side.
The boards index of industrial
production rose, it is said, to 81 in
June, compared to II in June last
year. I'll bet the thermometer was
accidentally read instead of the in
dex >. or maybe one of those third
term" enthusiasts gave the report.
If they'd let Republican read that
index, I'll bet the thing would show
way below freezing"
I see where the rank and file of the
American Federation of Labor and
the Congress of Industrial Organiza-
tons are exerting pressure upon their
leaders to commit both organizations
to third term for President Roose-
welt. That would indicate that they
feel if "you can't strike against the
government" you can strike with it.
The report didn't state whether or

the cost of an election.
Ours is really free country . :.
it is place where we can kick about
the lack of freedom. Why shucks, all
we have to consider here in our quest
for freedom are the wife, the police,

Sneezing is bad in a crowded room
