WENDELL FOOLS EN-

When Wendell Willkie won the
Republican nomination it was proph-
esied that this campaign would be
different. Because of that fact, a
lot of the ordinary political omens
are likely to be of little value.
Here's a sample. House Repub-
licans are becoming increasingly
critical of their nominees course.
Commonest complaint is that he
won't take advice especially from
them) and that he's running a one
man show; next commonest is that
he is talking too much. One of the
most prominent Republicans in the
House remarked recently that every
Willkie interview loses at least 50,-
600 votes.
In an ordinary campaign, all of
this would be an exceedingly bad
sign. The thing to remember is that
Willkie doesn't run an ordinary
campaign. He fooled the wise ones
at Philadelphia; and the men who
are now complaining that he is los
ing votes are the ones who said that
he couldn't possibly get nominated
because he hadn't gone out and
rounded up any delegates.

Men in the Rain

of the shirt. No dress braid, no
polished puttees. Simple and work
manlike. Here is young captain
in ditch with a patrol of his
men, muddied to the knees. Here
is another general, an army COM
mander, talking to a group of young
guardsmen, informal but business
like. Here are the eager, serious
faces of Young America. going over
the first rough hurdles of learn
ing to defend the land they love.
Their officers are not flashing
about in glittering staff cars. They
are down in the ditch with their
men,
Guns can be bored, munitions
made. Tanks can be built, planes
assembled. Men-ah, you either
have men or you don't. And these
men look very good indeed.
They have intelligent faces-they
are men who know the score all
the way. They are hardening ply
sically. The equipment is on the
way. You feel that they will be
good soldiers.
These men and as many mil
lions as necessary to follow them
will defend America. You can read
in their faces the safety of our
country.

SHARE THE BURDEN
WITH The GUARD
(Elko (Nev.) Free Press)

(Eik0 (NeV.) Free PfeSS)
Soon now members of the National
Guard and reserve corps are going to be-
gin leaving civilian life for years tour
on active service.
In the past, National Guard and re-
serve corps service did not mean those
things. These peacetime soldiers gave
up their regular vacation time to learn
ing how to defend their country Their
absences in training were brief
But now being called up for training
means real disruption in personal and
working lives. 1t is no longer enough
that American soldiers can be given brief
courses in fundamentals and called ready.
War as Europe presents it to our eyes
today means skill and teamwork compar-
able to that of a well-oiled football team.
This takes time. These young men are
giving it.
All honor to them! These are the ones
who gave evenings, and week ends. and
vacations to their country when the rest
We're Indifferent. They stuck to their
nobody cared Now the nation calls them
first.
The duty on which they will soon en-
bark is not theirs alone. Those who do
not go also have a duty.
1t is to cooperate and help in every
possible way to minimize the sacrifices
they make.
So far as possible their jobs should be
kept ready for their return, so that in
addition to a year of their lives, they need
not also face the prospect of beginning

sideration and help for their families and
obligations are in order.
These young men are about to shoulder,
voluntarily, their obligation as citizens
to bear arms in defense of their country.
This does not shift the obligations of
others to their shoulders. 1t creates ad-
ditional obligations for those who do not
march.

The men were in little shelter

sergeants passed word that trucks
had arrived to take them to a
new area. They had to roll their
packs in the rain There weren't
enough trucks. Wet packs, wet
blankets. wet skins.
But there was no grumbling
Spirits remained high. The men felt
that this was soldiering-this was
doing a duty that must be done.
That is a little picture of a sim
gle unit of the many National
Guard units who maneuvered this
summer It was unpleasant, diff
cult. uncomfortable. But their gen.
eral commended them. They had
done well. They are on their way
to becoming soldiers.
The men of the National Guard
who will scon embark on a solid
years training have no illusions.
They krow how tough the job is.
If selective service is adopted, the
men chosen will soon find it out.

But their is something reassur-
ing about the pictures that have
come from these maneuvers.

THIS IS NOT THE
WAY OF DEMOCRACY

1t is easy to understand hoW mentally
inferior person who depends upon in
stinct and emotion to guide him through
life could, when engaged in a bitter argu
ment, accuse his opponent of traitorous,
cowardly conduct.
1t is not so easy to understand how a
United States congressman, supposedly
a strict advocate of democratic settlement
of national issues-and so of democratic
debate-can call another congressman
a traitor to his country simply because
the other man disagrees with him.
Representative Vincent. Kentucky Dem
ocrat, was guilty of the most undemocra-
tic possible conduct, We believe, when he
accused Representative Sweeney, Ohio
Democrat, of being a traitor because
Sweeney opposed the conscription bill.
We agree with Vincent in the belief the
bill should be passed. and in hurry But
III our agreement we cannot condone the
thing he did.
To be truly democratic, we must real
iZe that every man is entitled to express
his opinions. and to work for their reali-
zation If he desires And we must go
farther than that We must listen to
him, and weigh his words, and examine
his reasonng-because there is always
the possibility he is right and we are
wrong. The person who will listen to
only one side Of an argument has not
the nakings of truly democratic indi-
vidual
On the other hand, it is the method
of Hitler and Mussolini and Stain to
attribute criminal motives to every per-
son who disagrees with them In Ger
many, Italy and Russia, it is the act of
a traitor to disagree with the government
in power.
But not in America
Let's see that we stay that way.

HOW DOES HE KNOW?
(NeVada State JournaD

Methuselah lived to be only 1872, in
stead of the accepted Biblical 500 years,
according to DR.. Andrew Efron, Yale
university research scholar. For their
part, many persons will not like the idea
of making Methuselah out so callow
youth. To them he always will be the
oldest old-timer of them all and to cut
his span of years is as profane an act as
it would have been to have cut his patri-
archal beard.
DR.. Efron does not content himself
with shortening Methuselahs span of
life. Adam also suffers at his hands.
coming down to mere 90 years of life,
rather than the Biblical 93O. As for
Noah, he was a mere boy of AZ when he
built the ark, Dr. Efron claims, instead
of having reached the discreet age of 600
Many won't like that, either. They
always have pictured Noah as man of
years-or rather centuries-of experience
in the wild days of nature before he ham
mered out the component parts of that
ark. They always have pictured him,
furthermore, as a weather prophet with
years and years and years of meterologi-
cal soothsaying behind hin-so many
years that he just smiled tolerantly when
the neighbors chant ed that irreverent dit
ty, ending: "Tain't going to rain any
hoW''
And here come DR.. Efron to spoil all
their notions. Well, not quite to spoil
them, after all. For dispatches give the
good doctors age as 40 So how does he
know?

YOU'RE THE GUY
HAT GETS KILLED

One more dead in an automobile acci-
dent
As of Thursday noon, that made 10
killed in Imperial county since the flrst
of the year.
The only cheerful thing about it-if
.here can be anything cheerful about
such figures-is that 25 had been killed
on the same date last year At least we
are, so far, reducing the slaughter.
But that is not creditable thing,
either. when you consider that not one
of those 10 deaths was necessary, not
one was unavoidable. Common sense in
driving, common sense in mechanical pre-
cautions, could have prevented every one
of those fatal accidents.
Don't blame the California Highway
Patrol. The boys who ride the motor
cycles are doing all they can to prevent
accidents. But they cannot follow every
motorist from the minute he gets behind
a wheel until he steps down again. They
cannot be on every quarter-mile stretch
of highway at the same instant all day,
every day. They can do no better job
than the motorists help them do.
Don't look to the highway patrol to
prevent accidents. Prevent them your
self, by driving carefully, courteously
and sensiby. If you don't-well, after
all you're the guy who gets killed.
If every motorist practiced common
sense driving at all times, there would be
no need for highway patrol force Nor
would there be any fatal accidents.
Remember-the rules of the road are
made for your own safety as we'll as for
the other mans They were set up be-
cause common sense dictated them. Fol
low that line of reasoning. and you'll dis
cover what that makes of you when you
violate the rules
Why not play safe-and live to be glad
Of it?

WALLACE, McNUTT
LEAD CAMPAIGN

Apparently the brunt of the CAM

by Henry Wallace and Paul v Me-
Mutt, who could have beaten Wal
lace out of the vice presidential
nomination, but refrained.
Some little time before he left
for his Des MoineS acceptance
speech, Wallace sent around to the
information experts of the other
government departments and agen-
cies for complete details on what
each outfit was doing, how it did
it. etc This was a clear tip that
Wallace proposed to speak of and
for the administration as whole
during the campaign instead of
eonfining himself to a series of
appeals to farmers. AS a matter
of fact, most of the farm appeal"
probably will be made by Congress-
man Marvin Jones of Texas.

increasingly popular with the New

Garnett quietly crazy. The pro-
duction is far behind schedule.
I watched today when she emerg-
ed from her dressing room. The as
sistant director had called for ev-
eryone for a take. Miss Dietrich
still had to take a pull at her
hose. adjust a gold coolie coat,
touch her jewels and resume that
characteristic fussing with her hair.
Her hair looked swell. The company
fidgeted. Tie star then decided to
go back to her private corner and
do it all over again in front of a
mirror. At a shrug from the az
sistant, the other players moved
out from under the lights.
Presently it was observed that
Miss Dietrich was about to approach
the set. The assistant said. "All
