JOHN w. DAVIS

Mrs. A. Mitchell Palmer, widow of Woodrow Wilson's wartime Attor- ney General, was visiting friends on Long Island some time ago and went through all kinds of razzing because Of her support for Roosevelt. It turned out that she was about the Cnly Roosevelt fan among the elite social set.
 One night she sat at dinner be- side John D. Davis, candidate for President on the Democratic ticket in 1924 attorney for J. P. Nor gan and Willkie rooter.
 Peggy queried MT. Davis in slightly scorching tones. If Mitch- ell Palmer were alive today do you think he'd support Roosevelt?"
 T don't know what Michell would do if he were alive" replied Mrs. Palmer But if he had ever run for President on the Democratic ticket, then do know that he would always support the head of the party
 Next morning. John w Davis re- marked to Mrs. Palmer. You know Peggy, I couldn't sleep last night You worried me to death"

READ FEM AND WEEP

News story on the front page of The Seattle Times, November l. 194O:
 Emil Hura the wizard of figures who accu- rately forecast the 1892 1886 New Deal victories announced today that Wendell L. Willkie is now looking than ever like the next President of the United States
 His forecast was based the latest nation wide poll of its readers conducted by Pathfinder Magazine, of which he is publisher
 We interpret figures as meaning this: An indicated Wkie victory with 353 electoral votes Hurja said. And should the swing to him continue at it's present rate up to election day he may get even many as 385 electoral votes leaving only the Solid South and border states to President Roo- sevelt-l3 states in all
 The figures covered poll findings up to Octo- Der 26, ten days before the actual election
 "Hurja,s poll shows Washington Oregon and with total of 35 electoral votes in the Willkie column
 of the II Western states the poll indicates only Arizona, Montana, Nevada and Utah with total of l4 votes, for Roosevelt
 All the North Central farm states and Illinois Indiana, Michigan and Ohio are credited to Willkie He also carries all New England states New Jersey and the large electoral votes of New York and Penn sylvania
 The magazine emphasized that the election is not in the bag It is possible that Wkie may be even stronger"

U. s. ENVOY TO ROME

Most people don't know it, but the resignation of ethereal William Phillips as U s. Ambassador to Italy has been on Roosevelt's desk for some time. Ambassador Phillips, popular in Rome, has been ill and anxious to resign. remaining only at the Presidents behest and be- cause of the emergency.
 But now it is definitely decided that he will not return. However, because Roosevelt still feels that italy can be the key to peace, he is ending, as Phillips successor. AL ,xander Kirk, one of the most popu- lar diplomats ever to serve in Rome.
 Kirk lived in Rome for ten years, maintained three houses, entertained avishly, came to have a tremendous number of Italian friends. He com 5ifled wealth, so necessary in the diplomatic service, with brains, so necessary but so rare.
 Kirk will not have the rank of Am bassador, though he may be promot- ed if formula can be worked out whereby the United States does not have to recognize the conquest of Ethiopia.

However, we don't think the facts warrant the criticism which has been heaped on his head for becom- ing a Captain in the technical end of the Air Corps. Real fact is that with two children and poor eye sight. Elliott never would have been drafted; and the lowest rank given in his branch of the Air Corps is that of Captain
 Because he has become National issue, we wrote to Elliott asking for his side of the story. Here is his reply:

I've made mistakes. plenty of them, mis- takes of judgment. but they were honest mistakes and when I realized them I set out to correct them
 Tn 1888 I decided to get into the radio business in Texas working for myself. In that way I felt had better chance to keep away l from political influences and i'm plications, and at the same time build up a solid future for my self
 Then the war came. I believe that my future, your future, the freedom of us all is in the balance and I decided to offer my service. for whatever they were worth. 1 didn't care whether I was private or a General.

of their benefactors was done by our charitable forefahers during the existence of the temple For there in that holy building a place called the Chamber of the Silent wherein the good deposited secretly whatever their generous hearts suggested and from which the poor were maintained with equal secrecy.
 Lastly, the eighth and the most mertorious of all is to anticipate charity by preventing poverty namely, to assist the reduced felowman, either by considerable gift sum of money, or by teach ing him trade, by putting him in the way of business so that he may earn an honest livelihood and not be forced to the dreadful alternative of holding out his hand for charity This is the high est step and the summit of charitys golden ladder
 It is this perfection of charity at the head of the golden ladder that is sought at this time through the Red Cross roll call
The Daily Alaska empire., 1940-11-09
CHARITY'S GOLDEN LADDER

The annual Red Cross roll call begins Monday. as defined by Mamondes one of the great religious leaders of all times who was born in Spain more than 800 years ago He left Guide for the Per pexed in which he gave list of four perfections. But he left also another list which has to do with the relation of man to his neighbor-a moral per lection And these are the steps toward that per lection
 The first and lowest degree is to give. but with reluctance regret. This is the gift of the hand but not of the heart.
 The second is to give cheerfuly, but not pro- portionately to the distress of the sufferer
 The third is to give cheerfuly and proportion ately but not until solicited
 The fourth is to give cheerfully proportionately and unsolicited but to put it in the poor mans of shame
 The fifth is to give charity in such a way that the distressed may receive the bounty, and know their benefactor without their being known to him Such the conduct of some of our ancestors, who used to tie up money in the corners of their cloaks so that the poor might take it unperceived
 The sixth. which rises still higher is to know the objects of our bounty but remain unknown to them. Such the conduct of those of our an- cestors who used to convey their charitable gifts into poor peoples dwellings, taking care that their own persons and means should remain unknown
 The seventh is still more mertorous- to bestow charity in such way that the benefactor may not know the relieved persons nor they the
