Why Kill Hirohito

A Honolulu editor urges that the exc cution of Hirohito is necessary to pre- vent further Japanese aggression. Grant ing taht the editor, in city which in- cludeS a large Japanese colony, knows the characters and habits of the Jap bet ter than most of us, we still question his suggestion
 Hirohito, believed by his people to be a descendant of the sun goddess, is con- fusion of god and emperor He is the center of the Japanese state religion, btu his temporal power has risen and fallen according to the wnimS and temper of his ministers. And there seems ample evidence that the millitarist clique, not the emperor, willed and planned this war.
 To execute Hirohito would be both in- expedient and un-American. Such an act would probably rouse the Japanese people, even though deefated, to a fury that would prolong resistance and cost many more American lives. Besides, it is hardly fitting that country founded on freedom of worship should put to death a ruler who, however SenSeleSS it seems to us, is regarded by his subjects as divine being. If we bring the Tojo gang to justice, we shall probably have killed the present root of Jap aggression.

her husbands well-lnown musical at- talnments, would seem to put the Re- publicans ahead in the musico-political field
 Who knows, perhaps the deciding fac tor in the Democrats choice of Mir. RooSevelt'S running mate was the fact that Senator Truman was the only pros pect who could slug t out, not for note, with the DeweyS. For the President, though reputedly a better than passable tenor in an impromptu quartet, has been getting elected to political offices for years without raising his voice in song. But taht doesn't mean that a large part of his popularity isn't vocal. Through three terms in office, his fireside chats have won him a following of unprece- dented enthusiasm. He is, we might re- spectfully suggest, a sort of Sinatra of the spoken word. If anybody can beat him, it will probably have to be singer.

Musico-POIitics

Time was when man scarcely dared run for president unless he'd been born in a log cabin The horny hand of toil was good for an extra parcel of votes, and addiction to such roughly masculine habits as chawin' tobacco or eating with the knife were positive assets in the from tier regions. But that time is long since departed. Instead, the rough-and-tum- hle of the quadrennial election is begin- ming to show some esthetic symptoms. Tn fact, l944 may go dowr. in our history as the year in which culture and politics joined hands, and music really came into its own. There is ample evidence to back this assertion, Scarcely had the cheers from the Democratic convention died down when the papers came out with a picture of vice presidential candidate Harry Truman eated at the piano. Next day the Republican countered with photograph of Mrs. Thomas E.. Dewey at the keyboard.
 Now these were no they laughed when I sat down at the piano" pictures, Both performers looked competent and Rt ease.

There's plenty of gold in the World even if you never see ten or twenty dollar gold piece. It is interesting to know that the United States owns nearly 2l l-2 billion dollars worth of gold, or more than two-thirds of the Worlds total supply. The U S. Government is hold ing out for a modified gold standard of international money However, before this question is settled there should be a complete review of the whole subject Meanwhile, it is to be hoped that Uncle Sam will not pull all his quota of gold out of the holes in which it is buried. and continue the lavish methods ot sprinkling our national assets around the world

 Chances are the correspondent has nothing of the kind. Pain and soreness are absent in the early stages of cancer of the breast in the great majority of cases. Just a lump is noticed, as a rule, and no pain or soreness to speak of.
 But it would be the height of folly for any woman to stake her peace of mind, perhaps iler life, on that.

It is always better to KNOW, no mat- ter whether it is or is not malign- ant, cancerous, than it is to WOR- BY about it.

 In this woman's circumstances any good doctor is always ready 10 arrange terms suitable for the pa- tient's capacity to pay.
 Incidentally there is another point we have not mentioned at ali.
