trol information you can adopt cave-man tactics toward Dame Pub lie Opinion, and she's yours, whether she likes it or not-until you lose your grip.
 By the same token, governments in the United States and Great Britain are handicapped on the do- mestic scene regardless of their political composition-because they must WOO public opinion gently They must run the gauntlet of open criticism as a normal democratic process. In so doing they are con- stantly running the risk of disap- proval and ruin. That brings danger of temporary confusion and weak ness in national policy.
 But on the world stage, the shoe is on the other foot. Great Britain and the United States or rather their governments-have the up- per hand because they are trained to state their cases persuasively, and because they profess no control over the thoughts of their citizens and subjects.
 The dictator, on the other hand, must reverse his tactics on the world stage. No longer can he di- rect public opinion to believe as he says. He must also be persuasive. He must also have a case.
 And it's simply that process of making a case that is monopolizing your newspapers front pages these days.

Continued from Page One) to bring the army more nearly under his own wing.
 The understanding is that Hit ler's real dependence for internal support as well as for troops in war lies m his various shock troops and divisions built up within the past six years. Within that struc- ture is seen a real weakness = six years is not long enough to train a corps of officers capable of con ducting a war against first rank opposition.
 REHEARSALS DON'T COUNT
 Marching two million men about the countryside in dress parade mo- bilization is one thing. It is another to feed them, command them in war and keep them efficiently fighting That is job for officers trained for longer than six years.
 The officers with lengthy train ing lie within the staff of the regu- lar army In event of war these army leaders would have to take command to avert disaster and that would give them the whip hand.
 Thus Hitler would appear to have two solid sources of pressure from within driving him toward a more amiable course abroad. The British French 'encirclement' in- creases his danger of war, and in war his power might slip into the hands of the old line army officers The other is the prospect that the business and industrial elements of the Reich may see hope for them in the economic" assistance promised in President Roosevelts message to the dictators as prize for seeking peaceful solutions of European troubles.
 Officials here recognize those two elements as important aids to- ward peace.

No Winter Lode Prospect ing, Very LittIe on

Unusually heavy snows during the past winter will delay mining op- erations on Seward Peninsula. A. B. Shallit, in charge of the Nome assay office for the Territorial De- pertinent of Mines, reports in Q letter to B. D. Stewart, Commis- Sioner.
 The snowdrift at Nome on April 30, the day Shallit wrote his letter, was level with the roof of the living quarters back of the assay office.
 There has been no winter lode prospecting and very little placer prospecting, Shallit reported. He returned to Nome only recently, having been in charge of the Fair banks office for most of the win ter.

CARPENTER SUED FOR FUND FROM
 OLD AFL UNION
Pat Hussey Seeks to Col Ieet S3o8 from Peie
 Hammer Here

A dispute between two rival fac tions of union carpenters here en- tered a new arena, the law court, today when Pat Hussey, as a trus- tee of the dissolved Carpenters and Joiners Union Local 1914, entered suit in District Court against Pete Hammer, who is alleged by Hussey to have appropriated $398 cash which the union had on hand when it was broken up.
 The $398, Hussey claims, should have reverted to the treasury of the international union instead of going to a new CIO union of which Hammer is now @ member.
 Hussey is now a member of Local No. 2247, which has obtained a new charter from the AFL.
 Hammer withdrew the S398 from the union treasury in January 1888, just before the union was dissolved, Hussey alleges.

ness Of government to some
powerful leader, VINO is force
full enough to unity the nation
and get the whole people
working together to accom-
plish needed ends. In a dem
ocracy, it is claimed, the peo-
pie are so torn and divided by
political and factional strife,
that progress is stalled.
The fathers who founded
our government had no doubt
of their ability to make dem
ocracy work. They had faith
that the bright, resourceful,
and ingenious American peo-
pie would not be stumped by
any difficulties in the way of
making democracy work.
The first essential in this
problem of making democracy
work, is to get the people in
terested in making it do so.
If people forget to vote on pri-
mary day, if they are too
busy to go to the polls cleo
tion day, or if they are too in
different to keep reading and
talking about the job Of gov
ernment and the means by
which public welfare can be
secured, it is not going to be
so easy to make democracy
work. Democracy is not a
perpetual motion machine
keeps running indefin-
itely if you once set it going.
You have to constantly put
power and fuel in it, in the
form of popular intelligence
and attention and effort, be
fore democracy will work as it
can and should. - Milford

Making Democracy Work

President Roosevelt IN his
message to congress calling
for reorganization Of govern
ment bureaus, said the pur-
pose of these changes is to
make democracy work"
Whether or not people think
the presidents plans should
be adopted, the idea of MAX
ing democracy work is one in
which all of us should be in
terested, without regard to
politics.
In the countries where
democracy has been over
thrown, the people were told
that form Of government is
not strong enough to obtain
national efficiency and pro-
duce welfare for the people.

would have to trust the busi-

Death of Rev. r. p. Nichols

Smyrna folks, especially
members of Asbury Church,
which he about twenty years
ago served, received with sor-
row the sad intelligence of his
death. He did a good work
in Smyrna, in fact he was an
able minister Of the gospel
and wherever he lived made
that community the better by
his exemplary life and teach
ings. On our first page will

surroundings attractive and a
source of joy in having flow
ers around. Some get a joy
in raising their own veget-
ables although it is probably
more economical to buy, that is
if you don't care to till your
own. Quite a good many fig
ure it is an excellent scheme
for producing selected food
and developing health.
Some folks in Smyrna re-
mark that it is not so easy to
raise these things. They say
they have planted their sweet
peas, beans or something
else in what seemed good 10
cations, and tried to follow
the standard ways, but for
some reason they seemed un-
popular with these flowers
and vegetables. These bios
SONS did not like something
about their new home, and af-
ter a few feeble attempts
they wilted and disappeared.
Or some pest or blight
brought that garden hope to
a sudden end. The Milford
Chronicle, by way Of COM
ment, says:
"You can't usually get a
fire result without some study
and knowledge. People can't
expect to go out on a golf
links and Immediately swat
the ball with such distance
and accuracy that they will
soon become county champ
ions. They have to work and
practice and study how to
make those strokes. 1t is so
in any game, and equally true
in gardening.
There are favorite old
flowers that seem to do well
most anywhere. The grand
parents will perhaps say they
never had a particle of trouble
with their morning-glories
and scarlet runners and the
rest of their pets. Perhaps
the bugs and pests were not
so numerous then.
