says We'll be havin' an early fall;
some folks has even noticed the

Aid and all the folks to his house
on Wednesday evenin', September f.

Guess quite few of the folks are
talkin' state fair. Art Carlson and
Mrs. Gust Nyberg and the Storms

1 took in state fair, but one fair
I won't miss is the Kerrick fair this
comm Saturday. Hear it's goin' to
be bigger and better than ever.

1t proven long ago that the opera is not merely
dowager's monopoly sort of esthec fashion show The
musical entertainment quite much the jewesprnked
social empress of Newport.
The Metropolitan Opera association of New York
scanned its books recently and discovered that its famous
old opera house might have to close shop unless the humber
lovers of music were willing to forward with
folding money about $1,000,000. The old endowment
sysem among wealthy patrons cracking up The Little
Man all the country quick to dig into his pocket
Donations being received in abundance and early
prediction is that the Net has been saved For the first
time in history, the simple opera-over will share
In the Net.
The phenomenal success of outdoor opera projects.
notably in St. Louis established long that opera not
taking fatal beating by the rbad forms of modern
musical entertainment. Genuine opera fans still
bered in the millions and it is good feel treasured that
prima donnas are not destined to become museum
pieces.

At first the top-notch GoP-ers
favored a late get-together, in
Augest or September. But when
the president advised his people
to defer their convention until
the early fall. the Republicans
began to get suspicious. An
autumn convention, they realiz-
ed, would advantage Roosevelt,
or his presidential protege.
r. D. r., or his heir. would
need no time for a build-up,
whereas almost any Republican
candidate would require many
months TO get his policies to the
people. And If the European
war becomes vicious by summer,
as everyone expects it will, that
fact will work in favor of
Roosevelt denomination.
Therefore, the Republicans fig
ure that they must prepare for
their convention, and for the
nomination of their candidate,
without waiting for Roosevelt's
announcement. To do otherwise,
in the COP opinion, would be
to admit that they are afraid of
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Ed Kelly's $4,000 bid for
the national democratic conven-
ton on behalf of Chicago is the
political mystery of the year so
far as inside politicians can de-
termine. 1t was personal ra-
Their than a civic or a political
bid.
Representatives of Chicago's
associated convention commit
tees told the democratic nation
al chairman, James A. Farley,
that they would like the con-
vention to come to Chicago, but
that they had no money to fl
nance the venture. They gave
the same message to the repub-
lican national chairman, John
Hamilton. In short, the civic
and commercial interests of Chi
cago were rather cool toward the
idea of corralling the nations
top politicians in the Windy City.
So the $4,000 bid by Mayor
Kelly was a shock to Chicago's
civic and commercial represen-
tatives.
The answer is, of course, that
Mayor Kelly will clamp down on
business and political firms in
Chicago in order to raise the
$4,000 which he promised to
the democratic national COM
mittee. Many Democrats, who
know about the Chicago mayors
conflicts with various govern
ment agencies, think that it
might have been wise to choose

CHRIST SPIRIT is
WORLDS NEED

Editor The Times: Since the
World war a lot of Installation
has been expressed by the Amer
lean people over money loaned
to other nations which hasn't and
never will be repaid.
Now propaganda to do the
same thing is under way. Not
to the same nations, Of course,
but serving the same purpose.
Those responsible for this are
profit mongers, or others in high
finance. II is the common peo-
Piles wealth that is being dished
out. and they think it is for a
worthy purpose. The aim is to
save the imperialistic minded
from overthrow. They are mis-
taken. Imperialism is fastened
thereby, and will take on a more
violent form than If eased out
by common sense methods.
Everything has its beginning
on the mind plane. Thus. II we
consider some nations friends
and other enemies. our behavior
will be governed accordingly.

RUSSIAN ELECTION
STATISTICS

Editor The Times: Statistics
of the recent elections in the
Soviet Union may be of interest
to your readers. Elections were
for village, city, and as we
would say. township and county
offices. There were 1921 ,00s
positions to fill and ee.02 per
cent of registered voters cast
ballots.
In 125 districts no one received
a majority of all votes cast and
new elections will be held. In
three districts snowdrifts block
ed the roads so that less than
half the registered voters voted.
and here, too, new elections will
be held.
or those elected, 422.2 are
women, 329 percent of the whole
number. And 3l.41 per cent are
members of the communist
party, while $3.50 per cent are
not. JOHN BRADSTEIN.

PULSE OF THE PUBLIC

He had almost no money nor
supplies. 1t is a miracle how he
kept his heart strong for nearly
eight years. But he did, and it
is well, for without him we
would never have gained our
freedom.
As president he patiently re-
conciled parties and started lay
ing foundations, and made them
broad enough to sustain the
greatest nation this world ever
saw, and all the while he was
subjected to criticism that
wore his life away.
He emphasized religion as a
steadier and builderup of mems
souls and of nations, too. He
was member of the Episcopal
church.
As the decades come and go,
his figure. as solid as granite.
looms higher and higher, nor
suffers any diminishing.

The Roosevelt administration
purchases gold from such ma
tons as Russia and Japan have
precipitated tremendous COM
plants from lovers of peace.
They contend that Henry Nor
genthau's gold-buying tends to-
benefit the dictator nations
and the countries which the
White House detests.
But the reason why Morgen-
thau can accept British gold.
and not reject imports of Rus
sian gold, is very simple. The
United States now owns almost
20 per cent of the worlds gold.
about $4,000, 600. 900 worth. For
the American Secretary of the
Treasury TO refuse to buy Rus
sian or German or Japanese gold
would be TO imply that gold Is
not a basic and essential back
ing of international currency. 1t
would amount to an admission
that the yellow metal stored at
Fort Knox, KY, might some day
become an empty and valueless
hoard.
In view Of Uncle Sans pur-
chases of gold at an artificial
price, Morgenthau cannot afford
to minimize its value, either do
mestically or internationally.
Therefore, no matter how much
1t may cost us, the U. S. Treas
ury will buy foreign gold until
the cows come home-or until
they don't come home any more.
Franklin ID. Roosevelt has ap-
parently turned thumbs down
on Senator Joseph P. Guffey of
Pennsylvania, the New Deal
Lord of the Keystone State, who
swept into office few years ago
on Roosevelt's coat-tails.
Joe is up for reelection this
year. He has not been exactly
an ideal senator. He has never
made a speech on the floor. He
has never shown even the ink
ling of a statesman. Pennsyl-
vania D m Gratis, including
State Chairman Lawrence and
political financiers, don't like
him. So the state committee,
at its recent meeting, refused
to endorse Guffey.
Joe dashed to the White House,
and begged for presidential sup
port. He didn't get it. Roose-
welt told the press two weeks ago
that he was investigating the
whole Pennsylvania situation
insofar as it affected Guffey,
and intimated that he would
come to the senator's rescue at
the proper time.
A few days ago the Pennsyl-
vania reporters dared to ask
Roosevelt whether he had de-
cided to support Guffey in Penn
sylvania primaries.
The president replied: IT do
not know enough about the sit
uation to discuss it," Apparently,
the president is letting his old
friend, Joe Guffey, down-and
how,
