Editor The Times: This could

America which is news TO me.
He mouthes outworn. thread
bare isolationist theories which
follow Nazi party lines. Boy. Is
he corny! On a wave of vehe-
ment emotionslism he tells US
three different times in as many
paragraphs that Roosevelt is a
dictator. and that he aspires to
police the world.
There is very good precedent
for saying that Roosevelt has
legislative sanction for actions
he has taken without present
congressional sanction. The
question of legality of President
Lincoln's belligerency was con-
tested in the courts in 1852 and
the court handed down the de-
cision thst-'Every act passed
at the extraordinary session Of
1861 which was wholly employed
in enscting laws To enable the
government to prosecute the

The president does not intend
to try to FORCE Democracy on
any one. only the prejudiced in
terpret his utterances thus, any
one with an ounce Of brains

intend to see that the post war

THE lady Of the house had Just
L read Nicotine Knockout, or
the Slow Count" in the current
issue Of The Readers Digest. 1t
Vas written by Gene Tunney,
the smart heavyweight boxer and
student Of Shakespeare who
made sucker out of Jack
Dempsey about is years ago.
Tunney, now a lieutenant COM
msnder and director of physical
training in the navy. says some
startling things about cigarets
and lands some heavy body blows
on what once was generally
known as the coffin nail"
But the lady of the house,
very much incensed - in fact,
lust burned upY-says Mr.. TIn-
ney may know something about
training sailors for the navy. but
he doesn't know the half OF the
eigaret nuisance. She referred
TO what happened when guests
were entertained recently. Holes
were burned in the rug. A lace
table cloth had several bad
burns where cigarets had fallen
off the ash trays.
On the polished floor Of 4 room
where some of the guests had
left their wraps there was q
black scar. A cigaret stub had
burned 30 deeply that the mark
never can be entirely removed.
The lady reiterated that even
il Mr.. Tunney doesn't know the
whole story. she is glad some
body is taking a crack at the
cigaret.
And crack down" is just
what Tunney does. He points out
that whenever heart, brain and
muscles are called upon for a
supreme effort, the tobacco user
is the first TO fold up.
Which reminds that once upon
. time the Washington, state
legislature battled for days over
= bill prohibiting the sale of
cigarets. 1t was one Of the big
gest fights ever staged by the
legislature.
The argument that killed it
was the discourtesy 1t would be
to tourists from other states. II
they couldn't get their particular
brands of cigarets the brand
that has less nicotine than the
others - they would just quit
coming to Washington Alto
Rether and the state would lose
the millions we now collect from
tourists for the privilege of look
ing at our scenery. The seemed
like a calamity more awful than
any damage that might be
caused by the coffin nails"
Then there was the time Ia
coma had a city ordinance BAN
ming the cigaret. James Duley.
chief of police. who took his Job
seriously, was disturbed over
what might be the consequences
of enforcing the ordinance. He
took his troubles TO the mayor,
the late John Linck.

ordinance" said Duley, well

HOROSCOPE
FRIDAY, NOV. "a

Good and evil planetary as
poets are discerned for today.
The morning is promising for
any progressive work, but later
adverse influences obstruct and

velopment of talents. College
girls should make much of their

National Issues: Service of our
army. navy and air forces in
foreign lands will suddenly be-
come imperative. but there will
be opposition that is based on
legislation preventing any trans
portation of troops to Europe or
elsewhere. Congress will face
embarrassing situations which

our part of the world war. The
stars seem to presage our full
cooperation with the allies.
Business Affairs: Business
deals of all sorts should be made
with the utmost caution, for the
stars seems to warn of treachery
and deception by enemy agents
