among our great men none stood
before his God in deeper humility.
In his Thanksgiving Message OF
1868, he said TO his people:
&c" We have been the recipients
of the choicest bounties OF Heaven;
We have been preserved these many
years in peace and prosperity; we
have grown in numbers, wealth, and
power as no other nation has over
grown. But we have forgotten God.
We have forgotten the gracious
hand which preserved us In peace
and multiplied and enriched and
strengthened us, and We have vain

our hearts, that all these blessings
were produced BY some superior
wisdom and viryde OF our own. In

OF the nation will be heard on high
and answered with blessings no
less than the pardon OF our nation
al sins and the restoration Of our
now divided and suffering country

unity and peace

For that we must in this year be

Only Real Values
Survive Election

NEW YORK. - Luckily the nom
sense OF American political CAM
paigns generally evaporates as fast
as the ballots themselves. which,
once counted. lose their value and
become waste paper. Only SUBJ
stance survives. Falseness cannot
endure the calmer atmosphere Of
reasoning and acquire permanence.
In the closing Of the campaign
some hasty people ON the radio, for
instance. suggested Dewey or
Roosevelt should be impeached for
something or other which was not
clear in the speakers excited minds,
and at the other extreme heard
the all too reasonable suggestion
that now the election is over the
losers should give in their view
points 10 the winners. The Issues
are decided" and now I'VE must all
work together" Neither course Is
likely to be followed this time. The
frenzied few will quiet down grsdu-
ally from impeachment thoughts as
they come face to face with new
developments. 1t is equally in
evitable that the genuine faith Of
people in certain truths and ideals
at the moment I am writing this. Is
not going to be turned around for
the espousal Of opposite ideals after
election.
But there was a surviving sub.
stance developed during this cam.
paign-a substance which could be
as important to the future of the
country and the world as the out
come Of the election.
BOTH PROMISED
Both sides promised the same
things In great instances. This
agreeable residue OF the debate is
what the country has the right to
expect from the victor. indeed what
it must insist upon. The mutual
promises were basically these: -
Jobs. Dewey promised them to all
and Roosevelt promised $4,000, 900.
Indeed they both promised the
method Of furnishing them-free en-
terprise. Both promised against the
Communist and Socialist way of fur.
nishing them Gree enterprise clear
ly disavows socialistic methodist.
Both promised a high-wage,
high-priced economy with fair
employment practices and Mr..
Roosevelt even defined his liv-
ing wage as applying only to "a
full work week" In rejection Of
previous trends toward less
work. Both promised quick vic
tory and a sound peace, and
nearly agreed on how. They said
they would continue existing
military leadership for war, and
would seek peace through the
Dumbarton Oaks arrangement
for a new League Of Nations. On
one league point only did they
differ, and then not as much as
advertised. The most fervid
Rooseveltian internatlonallsts
1.-THE Bali-Davenport minority
said they wanted the American
agent in the league council TO
vote for war only by cOnstitu-
tional mears, and that IL actually

ANN ARBOR, Oct. 10 Re-
Numbering the success Indiana
had with aerials, Northwestern is
planning much of the same for
Michigan at Ann Arbor this week
end. And remembering the sue
cess diana had, Michigan
planned to drill long this week
on pass defense.
The Wildcats from Evanston
have an excellent freshman paSSer
in Johnny Yungwirth. Johnny is
little for a left half, just 5l2 feet
tall and weighing los pounds.
While not the polished performer
Otto Graham was, he does a most
acceptable job in this department
Although Monday is usually an
off day, or at least an easy day
for the wolverines, Coach Fritz
Crisler sent his charges through
a lengthy drill. They worked
many on pass defense. Coach Kip
Taylor, who secuted Northwestern
for Michigan, was much more inn
pressed with their overhead game
than with any ground attack they
were able TO show.
The Wolverines came out or the
tough Minnesota game with no
serious injuries, and the victory
restored their confidence. badly
shaken by the defeat at the hands
of Indiana.
