Mrs. A. G. E. I am quite sure that
applying paste wax on your linoleum
floor will not only prolong the life
OF the flooring, but keep the colors
bright. If linoleum is not kept
waxed, a certain amount of the tor
finish will be secured off in clean

In will grind into the linoleum. Wax
prevents this.

GLASS UTENSILS?

requested by Mrs. E. A. P,
Arlington.)
Can some one tell me if glass cook
ing utensils should not be used
on an electric stove? I have had
my glass kettle for over a year and
enjoyed using it so much because
you can see when the water boils
and also keep it so nice and clean.
Now it is broken in a million pieces.
It happened while my husband was
using it. He said it was dry on the
outside and he just put it on the
burner like I do. Went into another
room and it exploded. He also said
he didn't use the high burner. I
hesitate now to buy a new one and
I guess it's almost impossible to get
aluminium.
Tiny cracks have appeared on the
bottom of my new glass coffee
maker. Now I'm afraid to use that!

Vindictive Peace War Menace,
Christian Study Groups Warns

New York City (ILNS) S).-"An i'm
proverished Germany will continue to
be menace to the peace of the
world" group of leading Protestant
ministers and laymen warned, in urg-
ing firm but not vindictive treatment
of a defeated Germany The group was
called together by the Commission on
Just and Durable Peace to make an
independent study of Europe in the
postwar era with particular reference
to Germany
"Some method must be found to
prevent German re-armament without
depriving Germany of her industry"
the group said after weeks of study.
"The permanent destruction of Ger
man industry would not only impov-
erish Germany but also lower the
European standards Of living.
"While corrective and precaution-
ary measures are taken to end the
menace of Nazism and militarism in
Germany, efforts should be made 10

for themselves the necessary economic
conditions for a good life"

of votes they would go into Office.
That could not happen in an axis
nation. That is fundamental and all
important difference.
The majority party has to accord to
the minority every right which it ac-
cepts for itself. You cannot laugh
that off.
Negro exclusion from voting is on
color grounds, not on partisan politi-
cal grounds. The end of this will be a
long time coming, even though the
first stages of crumbling are under
way in spots.
But there is something else about
this majority party rule that is inter-
esting and worth word.
Under majority party rule men are
elected on their personal platforms,
instead of on party platforms.
Take the recent Florida primary as
an example Senator Claude Pepper
ran on his personal platform, while his
opponent ran on one equally personal.
Both were Democrats but they stood
for different policies and principles.
No party platform had any bearing on
that primary, the equivalent Of cleo
ton.
That's how it goes, all along the
line.
Governorship races are the same.
In the same election three contenders,
all Democrats, had three personal
platforms. One of the winners in the
first primary adopted the losers plat
form as his own in the run-of race.
But he lost, at that.
So, you find personal politics, with
personal machines, in these majority
party states.

How many realize that in good
part of our nation we have single
party government, that we have had
it for many years and that we shall,
in all likelihood, continue to have it
for some years to come?
The "Solid South" is governed by
one party and elections are decided in
the Democratic primaries. In close
races the run-off primary is the equi-
valent Of an election.
Now the axis countries have one
party government. That means die
tatorship.
What makes the difference?
There is some possibility that the
question may be raised, so it is worth
discussing.
There is tremendous lot Of differ
ence between one-party government
in, say Alabama, and in Germany.
And you can even include exclusion of
Negro voters in the equation, if you
want to. However, that doesn't excuse
or palliate the exclusion.
In our Southern states the minor
ity - and ineffective party has the
right to exist. It's members and fol-
lowers have the right to vote. And if
they should, as has happened once or
twice IN border cases, win majority

Probe of Race Bias Against
Women In Services Sought

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-A res
olution to authorize House investi-
cation into discrimination against
Negro women 'as members of the uni
formed forces" is pending before the
Committee on Rules, introduced by
Rep. William R. Rowan of Illinois. The
resolution is in effect companion to
that introduced by Rep. Clare Booth
Luce for an inquiry into race dis
crlmination in the armed forces.
No action by the Rules Committee
has been indicated on either resolution
and it is unlikely that action will be
taken unless strong pressure is
brought to bear.

means Of the ballot box exists. And
the courts function and can be used.
Perhaps Kansas City has testimony
on that point.
So, there is wide world of differ
ence between axis-type dictatorship
and our own cheap and tawdry ty-
rants; between axis-type and one
party rule and our own majority
party control.
The people can, whenever they so
determine, 60 out and tie a can to
any Office holder or boss in this coun-

Whether that is good or bad is be-
side the point. However, it is more
likely to be bad than good. New York
Chicago and Jersey City have have
some evidence to offer.
1t is true that in some Of our major
ity spots we have bosses who come
somewhat near to being dictators, in
which case one-party government
comes somewhere within the realm Of
axis imitation.
But it remains true that the oppor-
tunity for overthrow by the peaceful

And, Brother, that's something!
The political thinking of the family
La Toilette was given going over
in recent issue of the New Leader
1t was pointed out, quite accurately,
that the La Toilette family, by and
large, has thought in terms of pro-
gressive politics in domestic affairs,
while it has faced the other way in
international affairs.
When the late Robert M. La Toilette
burst upon the political skyline of
Wisconsin, the Badger State was
pretty much boss ridden. He brought
about calendar full of reforms.
But when World War One came
along, Bob La Toilette stood just
about whe ere today's isolationists
stood. His sons have inherited his po-
litical creeds-both of them.
But here is bit Of history known
by no more than handful.
The late Samuel Gompers greatly
admired the older La Toilette When
the war had ended and the debris of
the League of Nations fight had pretty
much been swept up, Samuel Gompers
decided that the time had come for the
political rehabilitation Of the Wiscon-
sin senator.
This was especially desirable be-
cause both main political parties were
giving strong evidence of wanting
platforms for the national campaign
which gave labor little comfort.
That is why Samuel Gompers issued
to Senator La Toilette an invitation to
be the principal guest speaker at the
Forthcoming A. F. of L. convention,
held, if memory serves, in Cincinnati.
Senator La Toilette delivered a
fighting address, carefully prepared
in advance. His delivery was interest
ing. He read slowly the important
sentences, then raced almost unintelli-
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1944-06-09


Samuel Gompers had figured that if
| the American Federation of Labor,
| which had given it's full strength to
the war, should put the seal of ap-
proval upon Senator La Toilette by
thus giving him its platform, what
ever taint of isolationism La Toilette
might have would be washed away.
The idea was this:
"The war is over; now we have
| to face the peace; we need every
| progressive force to prevent vic
tory for reaction"
Well, by and large, the objective
was achieved-only there was too
much reaction.
The political conventions were held.
Both of them wrote platforms that la
Dor rejected.
The build-up for La Toilette found
it's fruit in his nomination for the
presidency on Progressive ticket
|
the ensuing campaign.
That was Samuel Gompers' last i'm
portant political gesture. Of course,
La Toilette went down in defeat. But
the grand old man had flung one last
dramatic gesture of defiance into the
teeth of labor's enemies and luke
warm friends.
So, with another world war coming
to it's amazing climax, another Sena-
tor La Toilette, young Bob," con-
tinues in his fathers footsteps.
Young Bob also is an isolationist,
with an excellent fighting record for
things progressive in domestic poll
tics-especially in Wisconsin politics.
Perhaps Wisconsin itself has some
thing to do with all of this, since Wis
consin harbors more than it's share of
isolationism today, as it did in
1917-18.
But whatever may be the likeness
in policy in re: son to father, it is not
at all likely that the similarity will
follow out to the conclusion patterned
when Samuel Gompers delivered to
the father La Toilette that famous in
vitation to come out of seclusion into
which his war views had forced him
and with the A. F. of L. platform as
his dressing room, again don the gar
ments of an approved militant in the
struggle between labor and its reac-
tionary foes. Not all of history can
repeat itself. f.-CMW.

Is it better to lead narrow and
intense life; or to branch out in more
unconventional ways? How much ex-
perimenting is worth while? Every
man must decide this for himself.

Frank and Arthur Goldsmith.
The team has an interesting rule.
After a match they check their
scores, and a member of the
team who has made a mistake
in the bidding or play that cost
a match has to pay 81. If the
mistake cost half a match, he
must pay so cents.
Cover up all the cards in to-
days hand except the South
hand, then look at the bidding,
and decide what your opening
lead would be. The boys want
ed to collect a penalty from Ell
mer abin because he led heart;
you can see that with a heart or
diamond opening, declarer can
trump all three of his diamonds
in dummy, and thus go down
only one trick. If South open
ed a club, North would cash the
ace and king of clubs and lead
the third club. Now the only
tricks East could make would
be four clubs and the ace Of
spades. The lead makes a diff
ference of four tricks, 1900
points.
Would you have opened a

of Axis people to fight wars.
Insofar as international rela-
tons are brought in by the Re-
publicans, it probably will be
through accusations that the
President is playing power pol
itics, which have failed in the
past to preserve peace and, in
the opinion of many, have led
to war.
The Republicans can be ex-
pected to inquire what commit
ments the President may have
made, other than purely mill
tary, to Churchill and Stain
and Chang, and to promise that
if Mr.. Dewey is elected there
won't be any secrets from the
people, and from Congress
about what they are being let
in for.
These are congratulations, of
course. They are like the main

is subdivided before even the
broad detail is filled in. They
are subject to change. But IN
