DR. WENDELL AND MR. WILLKIE
Philadelphia Record)

Champions of Wendell Willkie say that whatever you think of their man you simply must ad- init that he is a personality.
 We admit it, cheerfully. We go even further. We admit that Willkie is at least two personal ities, perhaps more.
 As the campaign develops, in deed, the split personality of Willkie becomes its most re- fnarkable phenomenon. For ex- ample:
 \ Willkie is both a conservative and a liberal.
 He says he is the hope of con- servatism and writes paeanS to conservatism in the conservative Saturday Evening Post. He also says he is the hope of liberalism and writes liberal articles for the liberal New Republic.
 Willkie is farmer in the Mid west. In New York, he is what Tcses called "a simple barefoot Wall Street lawyer"
 Willkie has a home near the Wabash where he's just folks" another home along the Hudson where he's somebody" and he says his heart really belongs way down upon the SeWanee River, or at least in Ten-Ten-Tennessee, where no doubt he's just hum- ole hillbilly.
 Willkie says he is a champion of power consumers and boasts of lowering rates in his old Com fnonwealth & Southern territory twithout mentioning how IVA prodded him along), and up Moth, where the bankers and brokers are wont to congregate he tells tall tales of how he got bigger profits for good old C. & s. out of those selfsame con- sumers.
 So it goes.
 Willkie wants to give England everything she wants to win - and insists that the United Stat es keep strictly out of the war,
 Willkie is 100 percent for peace-and 100 percent for lick ing Hitler.
 Willkie praises the New Deal and promises to tear it up.
 Willkie is, he says, a Demo crat-and also a Republican.
 This record betters that of the god Janus, porter at the pearly gates, who was given two faces the better to catch people going and coming. Indeed, it is match ed only by the speech of that ven erahle candidate who got hs jul leps mixed with his metaphors and shouted:
 Folks, I am neither on the one hand partial, nor on the oth CT hand impartial, but, like Cae- sar's wife, all things to all men

Many of them married American citizens, and the child ren of all of them, if born here, became by operation of law, citi- zens of the United States. Hun dreds of thousands of them took advantage of our liberal citizen ship policy and became natural ized, a process which gives to the foreign-born resident the full rights and the same citizens stat us as the native born.

BOWLING PROPRIETOR IN
A SUIT FOR $4,000

In suit last week against Jimmie
Marks, proprietor of the Marks
Amusement Establishment in Dundalk,
Md, Jessie Workman seeks $4,000 for
alleged injuries received while she
was bowling in Marks place.
The plaintiff claims that the own
er failed to instruct his pin boys to
use reasonable care in their work, and,
as a result, the boys would return the
bowling balls to their proper place
with such speed and force that it was
dangerous to the bowlers. She also
states that one of the returning balls
struck her hand while she was at
tempting to pick up a ball. The force
of the impact broke her hand and
caused her to lose time from her work
and much expense for medical care.

Someone has said, "The teacher is
like the candle that furnishes light
for others while it consumes ITSELF"
Young people often fail to realize the
sacrifices that their parents and
teachers make to arouse in their
hearts and minds an earnest desire
for the acquisition of knowledge and
further equipment for a successful
career when school days have been
completed.
In closing these "reminiscences, let
me call the attention of the reader
to these expressive lines composed by
the poet, Longfellow:
"Look not mournfully into the past
It comes not back again.
Wisely improve the present.
It is thine
Go forth to meet the shadowy future
Without fear and with a manly
heart"

least able to pay. Epidemics are
harvest time for them.
Healthy people are valueless
to our doctors. You can readily
see it is necessary to keep the
public in ignorance regarding
laws of public health and the
prevention of sickness and dis
ease. Other creatures of nature
get a better break.
For the benefit of society let
me tell our curious high school
youth, so soon to be taking their
places at the head of our nation,
there is only one sane answer to
the questions they have been
asking. That answer is hospi-
tails owned by the government,
free to all. and all doctors en-
ployed by the government. Their
services and talents should be as
free as possibly can be. Then
the doctors-to save themselves
extra work-will give to the
public information as will aid
that public in preventing cpl
denies or in stopping them when
they do occur.
The arguments in favor of
socialized medical care and hos
pitalization are so many that
even the high spots cannot be
enumerated in a letter of this
kind.

but there is a grave possibility
of a shortage Of exchange.
Britain has plenty of food.
She has virtually confiscated
the supply of fresh meat from
Canada. Australia. New Zealand
and arranged for large barter
purchases from the Argentine.
She buys bacon from Denmark
and Canada to supplement home
grown production. Although the
Ministry of Economic Warfare
has placed Britishers on ra-
ton basis with respect to meats,
the implications are not as seri-
Gus as Berlin broadcasts. The
British people are allowed one
pound a week of fresh meat,
and three-quarters of a pound
Of their so-called bacon-which
is about their normal peace
time consumption.
Washington's inside informa-
ton indicates that Great Brit
ain will face no meat shortage
for at least two years, possibly
more, If they can keep the seas
free. But their supply of gold
and foreign exchange Is becom-
ing dangerously low. Therefore
London will buy meat and other
supplies, with the one exception
Of airplanes, within her own
empire.
The reinforcement which neu-
trail nations. including the Unit
ed States, is giving to Finland
is beyond belief. The only rea-
son for concealment is that the
assisting nations-Great Britain.
France, Sweden, Norway, and
the United States-do not want
to become formally embroiled
with Russia. In short, Finland's
unofficial partners in the Arc
tic war do not want to drive
Russia into Germany's arms-or
vice versa.
The Allies, as revealed here
several days ago, are forming
an army corps to attack Russia
by way of Murmansk under
cover Of British warships il
conditions warrant in the spring.
The Allies, with the help of
Italy, Canada. Sweden, France,
and even Germany, are building
an air force for Finland which,
though comparatively small in
numbers of planes and pilots,
will be one of the worlds finest.
The Roosevelt administration,
by devious methods, will supply
planes, anti-aircraft guns, and
rifles. not directly to Finland,
but to nations on the Scandi-
navian peninsula, which will
eventually find their way to the
Karelian and Petsamo fronts.
Finland's representatives here
have informed our officials that,
without outside help in the form
Of planes, heavy guns, and per-
sonnet, they cannot withstand
the Russian onslaught for more
than two months. They will be
borne down, the Firms spokes-
men say, by the mere weight Of
numbers.
