POLITICAL
PARADE
BY George
RothweH Brown

CHICAGO, April 20-It is in
teresting 10 note that virtu-
ally every newspaper writer in
Missouri should have selected
his sense of loyalty as perhaps
the most striking characteristic
Of President Truman.
Here, in the Middle West, this
estimate of Trumans character
is widespread.
President Truman has been
loyal to his early political
friends in Missouri and he was
loyal to President Roosevelt as
his party's leader during his
time in the Senate. He trans
fers that loyalty now TO the
American people and will have
no other.
WHAT will particularly help
w the President in all his con-
tacts with Congress is the fact
that he is also loyal to the
Democratic party.
He has become President at
the very psychological moment
for saving the Democratic party
from being completely sub
merged and taken over by
new party, which had borrowed
little more than the name from
the party Of Thomas jefferson.
There will be an end now TO
the campaign that was getting
under way for the political de-
feat of certain Democratic sem
ators and representatives in the
approaching congressional cam
paign Of 1916. The purge" will
not and cannot be carried out
under the presidency of Harry
S. Truman.
His effort will be 10 reconcile
factions within the party so far
as he can. but always his loyalty
will be 10 the party, the old
fashioned Democratic party, 10
which his family have belonged
for years and to which he him.
self owes his whole political
career.

career.
DRESIDENT TRUMAN'S 10y
L atty 10 friends and 10 his
party was strikingly illustrated
in the primary campaign in
Missouri last August and it is
indicative of Trumans char
acter.
He was the nominee of his
party for vice president. The
ticket was being supported by
the Political Action Committee
Of the CIO and 1t was obvious
that il could not win without
this support in the great north
ern industrial centerS.
Trumans close personal friend
and colleague. Senator Bennett
Champ Clark. was running in
the primary for denomination as
senator. He was being bitterly
opposed by the Political Action
Committee and the whole left
wing in ST, Louis.
Senator Truman could have
played safe" and put his own
political advantage ahead of
mere local considerations. but
he chose the courageous course
and publicly announced his sup
port Of Senator Clark, thereby
mourning the risk Of arousing
the antagoniSm of the CIO
against himself.
This trait Of loyalty to friends
and party is deeply ingrained in
President Truman and in the
plain American stock down in
Jackson County. Missouri, from
which he springs.
There isn't anything that a
politician and Congress is fun
of politicians, of courSe-under-
stands better and appreciates
more deeply than this spirit of
fidelity which President rru-
man possesses in such high
degree.
AT THE moment when Mr..
"A Truman succeeded 10 the
presidency a bad split had AL
ready occurred in the ranks OF
the New Deal coalition in Con-
greSS.
The change in the presidency
has probably saved the Demo-
cratic party part Of the coali-
ton as a major political party.
1t is probable-in fact il is
almost certain-that If PTeSi-
dent Roosevelt had lived the
split in the majority. theoretic-
ally in control Of both branches
of Congress. would have tended
more and more TO widen.
Looking back at Washington
from Chicago it Is possible 10
get A true perspective of the
government unhampered by the
handicap of being too close to il.
From this point of view it
seems clear that a new era of
good feeling between the Presi-
dent and the Congress has not
only begun but has every prom
Use of continuing for some time
to the great advantage of the
country.
TIfE great difference that has
Il occurred in the relations be-
tween the Capitol and the
White House may be summed
up by saying that from now on
Congress will cooperate help
fully and in a most friendly
manner with the President, and
that the former resentment,
springing from the fact that
senators and representatives
often found themselves obliged
10 take orders from the White
House and 10 do things fire.
Quently contrary TO their best
Judgment. has now become a
thing of the past.
President Truman has some
thing very dear 10 the congress
sional heart a true talent for
the give and take Of co-opera-
ton. There should be new and
very beneficial spirit in Wash

Lanier Students
Hear Mrs. Lyens

Mrs. Ruby E. Suits Lyells was
guest speaker. at the assembly per-
iod at Lanier Eigh School last
Wednesday. Mrs. Lyells used as the
subject of her talk IF I Were a
High School Student" After a
very clever and interesting intro
duction in which she referred to
herself as a "big sister" rather than
a critical outsider, Mrs. Lyells said
that if she were high school stu
dent she would learn some sense"
sense with the same meaning
students used when they said a
classmate was dumb" Mrs. Lyells
sad now is the time for the stu
dents to learn the rules of gram
mar, the processes Of arithmetic,
how to spell, to write. and to read
with ease and understanding.
Among other things she would
do if she were a high school stu
dent would be to have a good time
---enioy life as young people, be-
gin to think and plan for making
living, and become socially respon-
sible. Mrs. Lyells says high school
students must realize that their
conduct on buses, in the theaters,
on the streets, in the classroom is
an index to their character; that by
their conduct the whole race Is
Judged and branded as loud, bois-
ferrous, happy go-lucky, and un-
clean in their personal habits.
Finally the speaker said she would
learn another kind of sense often
referred to as "horse sense" She
says young people must realize that
some day they will grow up and
that childish behavior is not be-
coming to adults; that while they
have a good time they must realize
that the whole of life does not re-
volve around the juke boz: that
while they are important other
people should be treated with
consideration.
The speaker was introduced by
Mr.. A. A. Barron, college class
mate who teaches mathematics at
Lanier. The students showed by
their applause that they appreciat-
ed Mrs. Lyells talk.

the new Interior auditorium, W
saw many Of these possibilities"
become realities. One girl took an
outdated and useless yellow cotton
plaid evening dress and transformed
1t into a stunning four piece beach
costume with halter top, shorts, bag
and kerchief. Another smart OPA
employe won applause with her
navy blue skirt and white midriff
blouse which had emerged from a
one-piece dress she had outgrown.
All she had done was detach the
white top from the dark skirt and
snip bit more from the top to
bare the midrin and gain a bit of
breathing space. So cute was the
effect that we could see the i'm
petuouS young ones wanting to rush
home with scissors to cut up per-
fectly good summer dresses. We
also liked the ingenuity of the girl
who cut up a mans blue cotton
shirt to make q short battle jacket"
which she'll wear with separate
skirts all through the summer.
Seeing the show called to mind
a few other makeover ideas. For
example, the dress that's worn out
under the arms might be rejuve-
mated by means of a printed sur
plice yoke, or perhaps the offending
sleeves might be ripped out and re-
placed by new ones Of print or plaid.
To the dress that has been shrunk
to the point OF spanning what we
shall coyly call the hips, you might
add concealing peplum of con-
trasting fabric or print and make
a matching turban. 1t all goes to
prove that there's probably no such
thing as tired old dress so long
as you have fresh approach.

Dorothy Dix Says

Dear Miss Dix: I am a we'll TODD
widow, 81 years old, with a son in
the service. I am engaged to a man
who is II years my junior. This
man tells me that what he does on
the nights he doesn't see me is his
business. and that his life is his own
to do with as he pleases. Just what
chance for happy marriage will I
have If I marry this man?
DOUBTFUL.
Answer-There is nothing to be
doubtful of in marriage such as
that would be. 1t would mean a
broken heart and probably loss of
your money for you. For any wom-
an whose eyes were not so befud-
died by the glamour of a bloom
ing romance would see that she was
being married for her fortune.
Most rich widows who marry men
younger than themselves befool
themselves into thinking that they
don't look their age and that they
are young in heart, and that they
are loved for themselves alone and
