Of Ohio and easily elected Sena-
tor six years ago, il the most
popular Democrat ever to run in
Ohio, not excluding President
Roosevelt. 80
In Ohio, all political observ-
ers conceded that Senator, Dona-
hey is at least 100000 votes
stronger than any other Demo-
crat, including Mr.. Roosevelt.
But Senator Donailey likewise
is one Of the smartest, astute
leaders In American politics. He
waited to see the outcome rof,the
special elections and then cHshed
in his blue Chips. 81.
Z SO, reasoned Capitol Hin if
Senator Donaney with at least
$50, 600 more votes in his hand
than any other Dembcrat can
get does not feel he can be. re-
J elected in Ohio surely there is
no Democrat who can carry the
state. And, it was remembered
Ohio is a national political baro-
meter-in recent times no Pfesi
Dental candidate who did not
carry Ohio was elected. AS Ohio
goes, so goes the nation! l.
Thus it is little wonder that
this series of events, ending with
Senator Donahey' RECESSION, has
created panic among the Demo-
cratic cohorts, especially those
facing the voters this year. Led
by those two machine politicians
Senators Sherman Minton Of In
diana and Joseph F. Guffey Of
Pennsylvania, they determined
to break down the Hatch Act
which would prevent them from

Jobs. Money and the New Deal

In pre-New Deal eras free
enterprise paid the taxes which
supported the American govern
ment. Today free enterprise has
been so stifled it does not do it
now. The costs of government
are much higher tina they ever
were before. The money to meet
them has been borrowed, that is
added to the national debt. 1t
has to be paid back some day.
There are some folks who think
that all the government has to
do to accomplish this is to send
4 messenger over to the treasury
and money factory with a mess
age to print few billions In bills.
That idea wrong for every cent
of this debt must be collected
as taxes and it must come from
taxpayers as hard-earned cash.
The government can no more
Great wealth with a printing
press than you or I. Of course
it can try - Germany did just
after the World War and look
what happened. Coin collectors
today consider German currency
of billions of marks face value
as unworthy of saving. 1t will
not buy anything and never
would, yet it is bona fide German
government-prirted money.
Think this one over if you are
one who believes that the nation
al debt is nothing of Importance
to you, elsewhere in this issue
you car get an dea of how much
your share of the present debt
comes to. The onl way we can
get out of the hole is to have
every factory and plant big and
small, to run full-time, for they
alone Great wealth.
Did you ever think that if it
were true that government
could make money and
that the government would long
ago made us all rich? Even the
most rabid New Dealer does not
claim auy such thing, yet they
discourage private enterprise,
which means jobs and paydays to
us, and do everything possible
to discourage private enterprise
don't you honestly believe the
New Deal should be voted out Of
office Immediately?

Too Much Speed

Grandpa was quite satisfied
to travel the country roads at a
speed which seldom exceeded Is
miles an hour. Father, in his first
automobile, figured that he was
whooping it up at 35. Modern day
youngsters speak of 70 and 80
miles an hour without botherinp
to raise their voices.
Speed it seems, is the king.
The salesman in the new car
showroom will tell you the 1910
models will take any West Vir-
ginia hill at 60 or better and the
full power of their high compress
sion mbtors can be attained in
10 or IS seconds.
And yet speed, for all it's poten
tial values, still is the most dead
ly; SO deadly, in fact, that there
wee twice as many persons kill
ed in traffic accidents in
last year than reported by the
Finnish army after three months
of intensive warfare with Russia
Only two weeks ago a party
of young men who were on their
way home from a dance at Blue
field, riding in a brand new 1910
automobile left the road near
Elkhorn very early Sunday morn
ing with the result one of the
party was killed and the others
injured. There is no way to as
certain the exact cause of the
wreck but it is not unreasonable
to believe the car was going too
fast for the particular stretch
of road, which incidentally is
known to be dangerous for fast
travelling. The car, we under
stand was totally demolished.
An automible that can go a
hundred miles an hour is today
a fairly common object that no
one holds in awe. The driver who
could drive at that rate o
open highway with any degree Of
saftey is nonresident, indeed
few drivers and stretches Of the
highways are safe for half that
sky-rocket speed. Fast driving
requires a car IL perfect mechal
lean condition all around and tn,
police will tell one they hav
found many defects on practic
ally new cars, this leaves mucl
room for suspicion with othe
older cars, for there are man,
defects that cannot be seen fror
the outside Of a car, also in tn
operator at times. The aver
age operator thinks that he ca
go as fast as he likes with safe
