men almost god-like In their
ability to hold the scales Of JUS
tice with an even hand, such a
government might be to the
interest of the country, but
there are none such on our po-
litical horizon, and we cannot
expect q complete reversal of all
the teachings Of history"
These were the views of
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, gov
ernor of the state of New York
in the year of Our Lord 1880.
He was then seeking the dem
ocratic nomination for the pres
idency.
Mr.. Roosevelt was not on top
then; he was thinking and
speaking with due humility.
He has changed SO radically
that nobody quite knows where
he stands on any public ques-
tion-not even those who advo-
cate his principles most ex-
citedly.

Cieilan, Ala. These writings are
excerpts from his letters to
friends at the office.
THE other night a friend OF
L mine was popping off about
something that has been get
ting under his skin. He thinks
something ought 10 be done TO
speed up discharges for
wounded veterans who have
come back.
All the major emphasis is on
fighting. Taking care of the
veterans is something that
doesn't seem TO need 10 be done
in a hurry, so possibly some of
their cases get pigeon-holed too
long.
My friends complaint was
that men back from the jungles
were being put on K. p. duty,
and being given dirty jobs such
as cleaning out grease traps.
Anybody who has ever done
that knows what a sickening
task il can be. In some cases,
it's a job that's kept as a pun
ishment for infractions.

The eyebrow beetler gave me
a stare.
you are Q chuckle-head," he
said.
"FIattery won't win me over"
/ retorted. Il happened to be
up in the Senate when Barley
denounced the President and he
was very stern about IL. He said
that II Congress had any self-re-
spect left IL would override Mr..
Roosevelts veto and enact tho
tax bill into law.
and" added. "the tar bill
was passed and Senator Barkiey
ceased being ma jority leader"
"Oh," said the beetler. "thea
he IL not ma jority leader"
"Well. ~ . matter Of fact he
Is" / said. But he was out for
nearly - hours. And he only
went back because the o Their
Democratic senator's insisted
upon It."
But, Of course" prodded the
beetler. "he remained on the
outs with President Roosevelt?
Naturally. they never spoke to
each other again? ?"
Tho President apologized," I
explained.. senator Barley IL
. man to hold grudges, 90 he
accepted the apology. They are
on speaking terms again"
And howw said the beetler.
I started to tell the fellow
that he did not need to 60

he interrupted:
"Are you 20 naive ~ to
really believe Roosevelt and
Barkley were fighting that
time: Why. that was . sister
act"
do you mean to imply that IL
wasn't on the level? Why on
earth would they do such q
thing:" / said holly.
ITO implant In the minds Of
the voters that Senator Barley

fore the electorate and say that

A'A gales. Ariz.. has a female
Springer spaniel.
Marty claims female dogs are
smarter than males and has
challenged me to match my
male Springer against his fe-
male in an intelligence test.
l accept the challenge. First
however, 1 must dispose of the
match race between Glenn Nc
Carthy's Vermont turkey and
my Long Island duck.
You Will recall stated a duck
could run faster than a turkey,
which claim Mr.. Mccarthy

a" 3 A matter of fact and
"A law, the governing rights
OF the states are all of those
which have not been surrendered
TO the national government
by the Constitution or it's
amendments. Wisely or I'M
wisely, people know that under
the Eigh { zenith Amendment
Congress has been given the
right to Iegislate on this par
ticular subject. but this Is not
the case i'm the matter OF
great number of other vital
problems of government, such
as the conduct OF public utili-
ties, OF banks, OF insurance, Of
business, Of agriculture. Of edu-
cation, of social welfare and Of
a dozen other important fea-
lures. In these, Washington
must not be encouraged to inter-
fere."
TTIE above quotation was
l. made by a gentleman who
was then governor of a great
state. 1t was spoken by him
over the radio on Mar. 2, 1890.
II represented a normal Amer
lean point of view.
Let me quote him further:
Tho preservation OF this
home rule by the states Is not
n cry Of jealous commemorative
seeking their own aggrandize-
ment at the expense of sister
states. IL IL q fundamental
necessity II we are to remain
a truly united country. The
whole success Of our democracy
has not been that IL Is de-
mocracy wherein the will Of
bare majority of the total
inhabitants Is imposed upon
the minority. but that IL has
been a democracy where through
n division of government unto
units called states the rights
and interests of the minority
have been respected and have
always been given q voice In the
control OF our affairs. This II
the principle on which the little
state OF Rhode Island Is given
just as large n voice In our ma
tional Senate as the great state
OF New York.
THE moment a mere numer-
ical superiority by either states
or voters I'm this country pro-
ceeds to ignore the needs and
desires OF the minority, and. for
their own selfish purposes or
advancement, hamper or OPP
press that minority, or debar
them In any way from equal
privileges and equal rights
that moment will mark the
failure OF our constitutional
system"
ONE more quotation, please!
" THE doctrine of regulation
and legislation by master
minds In whose Judgment and
will all the people may gladly
and quietly scquiesce, has been
too glaringly apparent at Wash

Six in Secret Society
Sought in "a Staying
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-The New
York Times says a one-eyed ex-
convict known as THE Hawk" has
given information to police which
has enabled authorities to issue
bench warrants for six members of
a secret society wanted in connec-
ton with the 1884 Brooklyn Staying
of Ferdinand (The Shadow Boccia.
The informant was identified by
the Times as Ernest Rupolo, 20, who
implicated associates in an organi-
zation described as a successor to
the old Malta, or Black Hand So
ciety, transplanted here from Sicily
in 1899.
Warrants were issued for Vito
Genovese, 40; Michael Mirandi, 40;
Peter de Fec, 40; Gus Frasca, 36;
George Smurra, 35, and a man
known as Sally, diminutive of the
italian name Salvatore, who was
listed as John Doe. Police still are
seeking all six men.

He was Don Pardee Moon. SO.

Cherbourg Peninsula.
At that time the operation was
reported to have been carried out
with surprising speed and low

Where Admiral Moon was as

The Secretary of the Navy an

| WPB to Assure
| Diapers for Boom
| In War Babies

The War Production Board today
revealed a new critical shortage on
the home front - diapers for war
babies.
And the situation, the WPB ad-
mits, is likely to get worse instead of
better. With knowing glance at
the future, the WPB predicted many
new arrivals next fall. The basis for
this prescience was not explained.
Anyway, the WPB's Office of
Civilian Requirements has asked the
diaper service industry to set up a
voluntary priority system of distri-
button.
Hospitals, nurseries and institu-
lions caring for babies would have
highest priority to obtain supplies.
Other priorities, in descending scale,
were set as follows: Private homes
in which the urgent need for service
is certified by hospitals, doctors,
nurses or midwives; private homes
with new babies: all others.
