President lost purge fight ne
thereby made his own denomination
more likely. The theory at that
time was that each defeat made 1T
less likely that the President would
be able to force the delegation from
that state to the next Democratic
convention to vote for some other
New Dealer. Hence it made it less
likely that any New Dealer except
the President could be nominated.
And finally that this situation would
force the President to run again In
order to ensure that the New Deal
policies would be carried on. The
theory included, of course, the con-
yiction held at that time that DEM
ocratic convention would not dare
refuse denomination if the Presl-
dents friends were fighting for IT.
By the same token, the Hatch
bill has undoubtedly curtalled the
power the President will be able to
exercise over the national conven-
ton. 1t will be possible to beat the
devil round the stump, in many IN
stances. but every time this is done
weak link is inserted IN the chain.
Might W ork Out This Fay in
| The National Contention
Imagine, for example, Postmaster
A, who normally, being a political
power in his community, would be
delegate to the national conven-
ton. The Hatch law prevents this,
SO A has his political man Friday
selected as delegate instead. lmme-
diately two possible weaknesses nc-
cur to the line of federal control
which would not exist if A himself
were a delegate First, of course,
Friday may intend to do what A
orders When he goes to the conven-
ton. But when he gets in a dele
cation caucus-say, for instance, on
the question of whether that state
delegation will stick by Roosevelt
for another ballot-Friday may de-
eide to run out on A, and on Roose-
welt. Of course there is nothing A
can do about it in time to change
the convention results.
Or it may be that A wants to
retain the appearance of loyalty TO
Roosevelt, but privately thinks the
party's chances in his state would
be better with some other nominee.
Then he may tell Friday, very con.
fidentially, that he wants the dele
cation TO leave Rooseveltiat the frs
opportunity, and Friday may obey
him. Then A can protest TO tht
White House that he was betrayed
by that migrate Friday.
But while Roosevelt's chances 0
controlling the convention are thu
weakened, this Is no guarantee tina
he will not be renominated. II Their
is q surge Of sentiment for him
! Just before the co1vttttfotfi whiel
might be manifested IN preferential
presidential primaries, it IS entirel
! conceivable that the convcntlo
! would name him.

APPROXIMATIONS Exceed
Last Years BIZ Over Billion

,
This years appropriations, how
ever, were roughly 81, 100, 900 600
more than last years, which were
IL billion 400 millions. But the Inn
portant thing now is to note the
trend. The economy revolt. If 1t can
be called that from such ans ex-
travagant congress, came right al
the end of the session. Just after
the house refused even to take up
the spend-lend bill-by voting down
the rule under which it was to have
been considered-the house appro-
priations committee waded into the
final deficiency appropriation bill,
cutting the amounts authorized more
savagely than any appropriation bill
has been cut by this body since 1883.
This would seem to spell plenty OF
economy next year.
II business gets better-as the
stock market seemed to predict the
day after the house killed the spend
lend bill--it would seem unlikely
that the President can work the
country up against the men who
voted to kill the bill
Which would mean economy, plen-
tifully sprinkled with pork.
Not Euen Jim Farley Could
Find Out Presidents Plans
Shortly after the Hatch bill be
came law, enthusiastic Garner
boosters actually made bets, giving
three to one, that Roosevelt woule
not be renominated. Pressed as te
the explanation of their confidence
they insisted that they were moi
sure the President had decided MOI
to seek third term or he woule
not have signed the bill.
This is far from conclusive logic
as there is strong opinion that TO
the President to have vetoed thu
Hatch bill, and then run, would
have given the Republicans a yer.

him during the campaign.

revolt will simply disappear.
1t might even make Henry A. Wal
lace President
But the present situation is des-
perate, from the Wallace standpoint.
The estimated corn crop is $780,
900 1000 bushels, which is not only
bad because it is enormous, but be-
cause this is the third year IN sue
cession that the corn growers OF
this country have produced more
than they can SELL or at least, as
B. M. Baruch likes to state the same
problem, more than they can sell
at profit.
Wallace's ever-normal granary is
taxed to the roof with 400, O0O, O0O-
bushel carry-over. In fact no one
knows what to do with the corn,
Wallace has sent out call for 3d.
500 900 worth OF steel corn bins IN
which the commodity credit corpo-
ration can store 50,000,000 bushels
along railroads and near elevators.
So it is small wonder that the
food and drug administration was
kicked around when it tried to pre-
vent, by law, continued use of dex-
tros without stating on the label
that it was contained in processed
foods. The beet and cane sugar
group in this country is pretty
strong, politically, but not strong
enough to battle the problem in that
mammoth corn crop. II anybody
wants to use corn sugar in food why

WESTINGHOUSE was the farm
revolt against the New Deal that
was responsible for a good many of
the Republican victories in the 1888
election, and, to lesser extent, for
the failure of the New Deal purges
against recalcitrant Democratic SEN
ators.
This was notably true in Ohio,
where perhaps the turnover as be-
tween the 1886 and the 1898 votes
was the most spectacular in the
country. But there was scarcely
state in which this dissatisfaction of
the farmers with the way things
were going did not play part IN
the reaction.
What makes this SO important
right now is that the farm situation
has not measurably improved, and
that there is nothing of Importance
on the horizon which indicates that
it may be substantially improved
before next year The food and
clothing stamps for surplus COM
modities will help little bit The
idea seems to be good, and it is
working fairly we'll in experimental
areas. This means that it will be
literally extended, and may prove
very important But few keen stu
dents of the farm problem in Wash
ington think that it is going to be
enough to change the tide.
What can change the tide, OF
course, is a very different farm
picture next year Nobody can tell
about that now, but nature may
take a hand, either in restricting
crops here, or, even better from
the standpoint of farm incomes, by
restricting them abroad.

THE COMPULSORY vACCINA-
 TON QUESTION


 Correspondent asks me to write my views and opinion regarding vaccination. The correspondent may want to show my letter to some of the members of the Board of Edu- cation and the Board of Health, In the correspondents village there is an effort to exclude unvac- cinated children from school by a health board ordinance or law, and the board of education will be re- quired under another law to pros- ecute parents of children so ex- cluded by the health authorities for failure to send their children to school!
 My views and opinion of vaccina- ton >are simple. I believe in it. l like to feel that I am protected against smallpox. see to it that those dependent on me are vacci- mated. I advise any one who asks my advice to be vaccinated. I think the age of six months to a year is the best time to vaccinate a child. I think the multiple puncture meth- cd is the most satisfactory method the virus is placed on the care- fully cleaned area of skin and with sterile needle held parallel to the skin an infinitesimal quantity of the virus is pressed into the skin through the drop of vaccine virus, Is or 20 times, the needle being lifted clear of the skin each time. No scratch, no open wound. Then the place is allowed to dry in the air before any clothing is put on, and thereafter no shield, bandage or other dressing or cover should be used.
 Believing as I do that vaccina- tion affords dependable protection, immunity against smallpox, I can- not understand why there should be any attempt to compel any one to be vaccinated against his will. We who are vaccinated have nothing to fear from any one who is not vac- cinated, unless we are sadly mis- taken about the value of vaccina- tion.

middle ages.
 That was an artificial culture that could not see nature except as it appeared in stylized art. It took some of the fifteenth century painters to show the world that sunset, 8 landscape, a grove of trees or people as they were, was the real art. And that all art should be based upon the truth.
 Need Synthetic Thrills
 Now this is not an article about art at all. It is rather about appre- citation of the lovely things in life, the real things that enrich the spirit. What paradox, to see young people who call themselves real ists," seeking synthetic thrill in their pleasures. For, after all, the glory roads or the great white ways are synthetic at best.
 Thrill is sought as substitute for real enjoyment. Thrill means only sensation. Enjoyment is the ability to see the lovely and beau- tiful, and to hold to ones heart the things God gave us, free.
 I hold that home which the chil- dren love to compliment with their presence as the perfect home. To read together, to sing together, to enjoy the warmth and affection of each other is sterling reality.
 And the young man or woman who can go out for long walks, in either country or city, with, open eyes and ears, able to "shed the scales" of prejudice and boredom and be one with humanity or na- ture, as the case may be, is laying up store of beauty of which nc one may rob him.
 Simple Pleasures Are Realest
 Being no critic of art, cannot give advice about that. have seer the real Mona Lisa and many o1 the worlds famous paintings. Ye to me there are as wonderful thing! painted today.
 The young person, however, wil only be able to get out of any pic ture what he takes to it - thos' things that tell him what sincerit! of painting or sculpture means. Th' sincerity must be in him or herself
 The simple pleasures of the pas century, this writer believes, wer more conductive to appreciation o the true and the normal, than tn doubtful benefits of 8 spuriou realism. The caricatures on the ga, nineties must be discounted.
 A flower garden is lovelier thar dozen "isms," where beauty i concerned. And above that, I pu the personal appreciation of every thing natural and fine.

concerned has been my obser- vation that health department of- ficials who are most active in this persecution of people who do not wish to be vaccinated are generally of questionable character and hon. esty. By making a great show of zeal in the protection of the public health in that contemptible way the grafters and crooks holding health board jobs and collecting illicit money on the side manage to es- cape close scrutiny of their official conduct by the public.
 The correspondent asks ques- tion which think any honest, in- telligent physician or health authority will find hard to answer consistently: "If school children are compelled to be vaccinated should not the same law or ordi- nance apply to teachers, janitors, school nurses, school doctors, school dentists and all others who administer to or in any way serve or come into frequent contact with school children?
