Dear Sir:

GLA0A TkAAAI0 S&AS4tSAAp va
Dear Sir:
after the completion Of my four-room
log home about five years ago, and
feathering my nest in harmony with the
rustic setting, I undertook to develop
the surrounding grounds into flower gar
dens and lawns in keeping with the nat
ural beauty furnished by the evergreens
and dense growth Of dogwoods, which
give me an excellent background for
the perennials, ANIMALS and dubious
plants.
Ever since its inception have borne
in mind the color scheme afforded by
our national flag, experimenting with
the various plants which would bloom
in unison, until have succeeded in
having succession Of blooms from the
early spring bulbs to the late Towering
asters and NUNS, which afford the
red, white and blue of my patriotic
wish.
while had no difficulty in producing
these colors with the hyacinths, it has
taken much patience and experimenting
with the ANIMALS and perennials which
flower later in the season, although at
the present time have a bed of scarlet
sage. of the perfect red, adjoining a row
OF tuberoses of fragrant ivory white
and row of blue ageratum, or blue
fax. to complete the tri-color.
With this theme in mind, I have by
no means limited my planting to these
three colors, but have combined many
colors which enhance the beauty of one
another such as yellow or orange flowers
which accentuate the richness of purple
or lavender.
Not satisfied with this harmonizing
of flowers, I have occasionally stretched
my imagination to believe that the ma
tional colors were displayed at the bird
feeding stations when I have seen the
cardinals at the upper board, the blue
jays on the lower and my pedigreed
Chinese chickens scratching at the base
of the feeder. This may be an optical
illusion, but it is quite thrilling sight
Three cheers for the red, white and
blue; long may it wave.
Sincerely yours. o. E. c."
The patriotic garden is a good idea
especially in these times.
While 1t might be carried out rigidly,
with no other colors, it is perhaps done
best with moderation, as our corre-
spondent suggests
Nature is lavish with her colors, and
then gardener is almost bound to get
more than just red, white and blue, no
matter how hard he might try to rule
all others out.
Green, for instance, is the great pre-
dominant color all spring and winter.
1t has been called the background
color.
Sometimes We fail to realize Just how
widespread this color is, and how much
our delight in the garden is due to it.
But some persons, realizing it fully,
have developed what they call green
gardens; that is, yards in which few If
any flowers are seen. Contrary to what
one might think offhand, there is no
dearth of contrast, nor any real lack
of interest
The green garden, unlike the patriotic

Notes Importance of Science
OF Political Economy.
,C, the Editnx a. n

To the Editor Of The Star:
President Roosevelt has performed an
important public service by calling at
tention to the worthleSsneSs of the study
OF economics" as taught in our schools
and colleges in substitution for the
science of political economy. Said the
President, in his address at the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania, September 10: IT
took four years of economics when I
was an undergraduate at Harvard and
everything that I was taught is outside
of all the text books today. The older
grow the less omniscient become in
regard to economics a."
Had Mr.. Roosevelt been thoroughly
grounded in the exact science of politi-
cal economy by the use of such text
books as THE Wealth of Nations" by
Adam Smith, and Progress and Pow
erty," by Henry George, he would have
been guided by the knowledge that that
government is best which governs least;
also that international free trade is not
only the unalienable right of citizenship,
but that 1t is a condition to interna-
tlonal peace, that public revenue is
legitimately derived from ground rent
determined by land values, that taxes
should never be levied against industry
or the products of industry, that in
terest, wages and hours of labor are
fixed by the natural law of supply and
demand and should never be fixed by
legislation, that government should never
enter into competition with private busi-
ness and that subsidies should never be
given to agriculture nor special privi-
leges to organized labor. Our schools
and colleges are responsible for an i'm
mense amount of damage to our demo-
cratic form of government by their
failure to teach the most important
OF all the sciences in relation to human
welfare, political economy.

Among all the hooey that is being
handed out these days on the subject
of democracy, perhaps the piece that
takes the cake is the notion that Con-
gress must stay in session "in order to
preserve democracy" This seems to be
quite of a piece with what old deal poll
ticians and editors have been handing
us about the third term of the New
Deal being step into dictatorship.
They show little faith in democracy as
a living force. 1t is the New Deal that
is now going to the country"
If the legislative majority cannot trust
the Executive to call Congress into
special session, when needed to take
measures against Hitler in defense of
our democracy (not to mention Chris
tianity). they might perform real Serv-
ice to the cause of democracy by taking
up the Neutrality Act of 1899 for repeal.
OF course, if the President should sug-
gest this he would be "a war monger"
assuming legislative power" "a
dictator" etc., ETC., but he may have
to take the initiative unless Congress
does. AT present IL appears tnaC tnere
is not statesman on Capitol Hill,
not even a lame duck, to propose removal
from the statute books of the isolation
appeasement measure which Hitler has
approved in the famous "totalitarian
pact" Hitler has warned the United
States that our neutrality law had better
not be repealed, or else -.
After election, when the people shall
have answered Hitler by sustaining their
Government with an unanimous elec-
toral vote, there will be political safety
in making the law express public opinion.
As a simple matter of unblinkable
fact, all Americans are democrats with

Says South Should
Support Willkie.
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
The South can save America. The
South is fortunate in not having the
Communist element that exists in many
of the Northern States. It is this ele-
ment that seems to have control of our
country at the present time
Southerners ought to forget the Civil
War and vote for the man, regardless
of party, who is not depending on this
subversive element to win the presiden-
tial election in 1910.
My contact with many Southerners
convinces me they are torn between love
and duty. The real Americans, there
fore, appeal to the South to give a solid
vote against third term.
This stand, if taken by the South,
would stamp out, for years to come, this
dread danger that now threatens our
beloved United States.

said he had received promises of
support from individual delegates
in Minnesota, Massachusetts,, New

Indiana and elsewhere.

unusually intelligent and serious

Replying to questions about his
political history, Willkie said he
