Babson Park. Mass. Nov. 9 -
The political war is over. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt has been reflect
ed by a majority OF the people. Per-
haps the most unfortunate feature
OF the election is the opening Of
the way for other presidents TO at
tempt a third term. However, busi-
ness has been relieved of the pull
ing and hauling which the prolong-
ed campaign engendered and
which served as a serious brake.
We can now forget politics: settle
down and back Mr.. Roosevelt in a
united drive for Prosperity and De-
Tense.

MIR. Roosevelt is suspected to be
unfriendly to business and private
property. Hence, one of his first
tasks is to reassure the American
business man and investor that he

Some time there will be a fearful
reckoning. When that day comes
the economic sins of the past eight
years will come home to roost.
But meanwhile. spending for our
defense is a prime necessity in o
war-torn world. We must pay the
price II we are to remain secure.
II would be the same if Mr.. Willkie
had been elected. Only under Mr..
Roosevelt, deficit spending will be
more lavish and less offset by sane
checks and balances than would
have been the case under Mr.. w IL
kie. Initiation will be the spec
ire at the feast but initiation still
lies on the distant horizon and Is
today a cloud no larger than a
mans hand.
Congress the Balance WheeI7
Many still believe that one check
on Mr.. Roosevelt may be the Con-
gress. He may find in the House
combination OF Republicans and
dissident Democrats sufficient Ia
prevent any attempts by him to
seize such powers as belong IN
the legislative branch. Congress
will follow the President in the
| interests Of National Defense; but
Congress may not abdicate in favor
of the White House, even though
the Congressional vote is in his
favor.
Farmers will continue TO receive
subsidy checks. but they will be
smaller. Unemployment will d.
minish. Compulsory arbitration
will become more common. Every
business will be stimulated by the
billions pouring into industry. This
means that general purchasing pow
er will rise. Therefore. for the i'm
mediate period ahead am frankly
an optimist. As for the long swing,

Spring is coming! They tell us

Winter is giving us just about all
that she has left after season OF

The fact that statesmen who nave

"big push" when nations Will take
advantage of the change in weather

Attorney General Hamilton has
reversed his decision in connection
with amending the state constitu-

measure. He has so informed Sec
rotary of State, Belle Reeves.
The first decision was to the eff
feet that the Secretary of State
should accept the filing of this
proposed amendment creating uni
cameral legislature.
He now refuses to write a ballot
title to the measure on the grounds
that the bill was faulty drawn. He
intimates that this procedure would
be to initiate petition in the ma
ture of bill, have this voted upon
by the people, then. if passed, two
years later they would vote upon the
question of amending the constitu-
ton, as provided for in the initia-
tive, all Of which causes the average
bystander to wonder just what value
the Attorney Generals office is to
the state as the font of legal adj
vice.

Two fires occurred at Hover with
in week. The first was in the
Columbia hotal and by gaining such
a Roadway the fire completely des-
troyed the hotel, post office, T. II.
Dry's general merchandise store
and the office of the Hover Land
company. The second fire was that
of a residence at Hover. The total
loss of the fires was estimated at
$4,000.
Kennewick's first up-to-date x
ray machine was recently installed
by DR.. Delepine in his laboratory.
The first practical use came when a
small boy from Hover was brought

H. G. Wells takes a crack at Eng
land, his own country, in his latest
book, 1.-The New World Order" In
It he states that the reason for Eng
lands war against Germany is the
British ruling classes fear of losing
wealth and power. They fear, &C
cording to Wells, a day Of reckoning
with their "long bamboozled lower
classes" Sometimes we think that
the reputation Wells has gained
from his writings has caused him to
lose his sense of proportion. Our
guess is that if Germany should
conquer England not only the rich
Of England would be taken for a
cleaning, but the "long bamboozled
lower classes would be still further
bamboozled. It might be just as
well for Wells to remember that if
Germany does conquer England he
will have to muzzle his writing. It
IS obviously to his interest to do
what he can to see that the ruling
classes" of England do not lose their
wealth" to Germany.

FAIR PLAY

FAIR PLAY
The older we grown the wiser we
become and this holds true of &C
cepting criticism. Those individuals
who enter public office must endure
the criticism of the voters. This is
understood and generally accepted.
Whether it be constructive or de-
structive, it comes to all candidates.
Many men in public affairs realize
that too much criticism is often
helpful to their cause, for too much
of it begins to look like plain fault
finding. With political aspirants
fitting here and there, talk of
elections will be prominent in Ken
newick conversations. Let our
criticism be founded on facts. truth
and fairness. ~

BUSY FINGERS

. We seldom sit at our typewriter
here in Kennewick and mediate
about the wonder of it as we strike
each key. Our hurry interferes with
our appreciation of the mechanism
that makes tipping possible. The cry
about machines putting people out
of work does not apply to the type
writer which employs millions of
hands. It was first invented in 1868
when few women worked in offices.
The machines made jobs for wo-
men brave enough to enter a mans
world and these women made jobs
for men who manufacture type
writer's. The number of men and
women who use typewriters today
are an argument in favor of the
machine age.
