The PULSE
OF THE PUBLIC
FOR TREND OF TIMES

Editor. The Times: l have
talked to a great many people
within the last year about our
political condition and all seem
to agree that we are getting
farther and farther into the
ouicksand which will finally
swallow up our republican form
of government. All seem to rea-
lie that If this happens, dicta-
torship or communism must
follow
Our administration alarmed
industry to start with, by break
ing all campaign promises. This
caused entrenchment all along
the line and threw thousands
more out of employment. To
remedy this mistake. they scat
tered large sums of borrowed
money in PWA projects through
out the nation, doing work which
rightfully belonged to the en-
ployers of men. These men OF
industry. finding themselves in
competition with the U. S. gov
ernmnet, pulled their purse
strings still tighter or went out
of business.
The administration then or
gained many other public money
spending schemes. such as the
WPA. and forced so much bor-
rowed money into circulation
that to the common people it
looked as though the depres-
sion was over. The New Deal
leaders advertised this seeming
fact to the world, came out
stronger against business and
provided for the organization
of the CLIO. This divided labor
into two opposing groups so
that the business man never
knows what to expect or how
long he would be allowed to
operate.
The president appealed to in
dustry TO employ more men and
when the hard-headed business
men could not see their way
clear to operate full crews or
make expansions under the con-
ditions which had been imposed
upon them. he told the world
that the recession was caused
by the obstinaey of capital.
Democratic rule in the United
States has always brought trou-
Bile. but for blind. ignorant.
crsck-pot experiments at the
expense OF the people. nothing
in our history will campsre with
the reign of our would-be dicta-
tor. Roosevelt. and his new deal.
The Republicans should win at
the next election. II will be q
fight between truth and false
hood.

Adverse planetary aspects rule
today, according to astrology.
Industry may be severely ham,
pered by labor difficulties. Capt.
talists may be inclined to pro-
crastinate in making invest
ments.
Women's should be especially
cautious and diplomatic under
this configuration which does
not encourage success in BUSH
ness or professional efforts.
Riyalries will affect many vocs-
tons.
Through the autumn. when
there will be business activity
along unusual lines, competition
between men and women will be
severe. Teachers will be SUBJ
jeet to unfortunate machina-
tons.
Education is to be unfsyorably
affected by political interests
which will cause serious results
in the public schools. Popular
resentment may be awakened
by injustice to single-minded
teachers.
Propaganda will be widely
distributed. but the stars indi-
cate that the public will be less
susceptible to suggestion than
it has been in recent years
