unDroken through Two races for the
Senate and the vice presidential
campaign of 1914.
An acquaintance once gave this as
one of the reasons for his success: :
The day never passes that Harry
Truman doesn't make a friend"
He liked to meet people, talk and
shake hands. Stunning formality,
he called friends by their first
names and asked that they call
him Harry. Il Just like it that
way" he explained.
Shortly after his first election to
the Senate he made a speech that
eXemplified his plain manner. He
described himself as "a farm boy
from Jackson County who was
going to keep his feet on the
ground, one of the hardest things
to do for United States Senator" 1"
He added that "the association with
dressed-up diplomats has turned
the heads of more than one Sena-
tor, I can tell you"

Friends said his two big breaks
we're his election to the County
Court in 1922 which took him off
farm, and three-way primary in
1910 which divided the anti-Pen-
dergast vote and sent Senator Tru-
man back for second term.
Loyal to Pendergast.
On the hard work side they point
to his tireless direction of the in
vestigating committee, his appli-
cation to details of the job-he
usually was in his Office by 7 am
and extensive study and reading OF
current affairs.
Mr.. Truman acted as chairman of
the subcommittee that made the
railroad finance investigation from
1851 1888 that resulted in the Trans
portation Act of 1910. He held the
hearings and practically wrote the
Civil Aeronautics Act.
His first time out for the sena-
torial nomination. Mr.. Truman won
by a plurality of 262 900 over two
opponents. but he faced a bitter
fight in the 1910 primary after the
Pendergast machine had been
smashed. Gov. Lloyd C. Stark and
Maurice Milligan. former Federal
district attorney who had prosecuted
some vote fraud trials that helped
wreck the machine. opposed Mr..
Truman. who edged through by
1000 votes.
During his first term he fought
the denomination of Mr.. Milligan
as district attorney, but the latter,
who had sent number of Pender-

100000 soldiers lives. Even if we
never get any of it back, it will be
money well spent"
Though his formal education
ended after high school, Mr.. Truman
has made studying lifetime hobby.
During his first term in The Senate
he spent almost as much time IN
the Library of Congress as in the
Senate. A student of history he
made a special study of the military
events of the Civil War.
While serving on the Jackson
County Court, though his duties
were administrative rather than
judicial. he enrolled in the Kansas
City Law School and studied nights
there for two years.
1t was while serving on the county
court that he acquired the back
ground for his work as chairman of
the War Investigating Committee.

spending and costs he told an
interviewer when the war inquiry
was at its height, "and l knew it

An active colonel in the Reserve
Corps. Mr.. Truman sought active
service during this war. but Gen.
George C. Marshall, chief of staff
turned him down on account Of age
President Roosevelt later told him
that his place was in the Senate.
At so he can still wear his World
War l uniform comfortably. 1t has
been his custom TO take daily
setting-up exercises. Walking is a
hobby. He doesn't smoke. For re-
taxation he plays the piano, favoring
the classics and particularly Chopin.
He once expressed the opinion that
after victory we will have the
greatest responsibility any country
ever had adding: 1T will be our
duty to assume the leadership which
we failed to do 25 years ago. unless
we expect our grandchildren to go
through what our children are
undergoing today"
A firm believer in the lease-lend
program, he once said: IF any one
cries on my shoulder over lease-lend

Mr.. Truman is 32d degree
Mason and a Baptist. Mrs. Truman
and their daughter belong to the
Episcopal Church.
Mr.. Truman's pleasant manner
won him friends on Capitol Hill,
and he unquestionabiy would have
enjoyed a successful term as the
Senate's presiding officer if Presi-
dent Roosevelt had lived.
The Vice President has a vote in
the Senate only to break a tie.
Earlier this week the first tie vote
occurred since he became the pre-
siding officer in January, and Mr..
Truman was on the job and cast his

vote with the administration. In
this particular case his vote was not
needed, since the proposed amend
ment to the lease-lend bill would
have failed on a tie, but he dem
onstrated that he was alert to his
new duties.

When fate lifted Harry S. Tru-
man into the presidency last night
at turning point in world affairs
it added another story-book chapter
to the history of American politics
Eleven years ago the new Presi-
dent was virtually unknown out
side of his native Missouri, where
he was serving as an official of
Jackson County.
Even during his first siX-year
term in the Senate, starting in
1885, the friendly. bespectacled Mis-
Sourian did not attract national
prominence until he proposed the
creation of special committee to
keep a Watchful eye on the huge
defense expenditures the United
States had begun to make to pre-
pare the country for this global
war.
Called Spade a Spade.
That was the beginning of Harry
Truman's rise to fame, which cul-
minated in his nomination at Chi
cago last July to be President Roose-

Announcement that American service
troops. together with transport vehicles,
have been transferred from the Persian
Gulf area into China reminds us that many
experts believe that the bulk of Japan's
army is in China and Manchuria and, here
fore. the primary purpose of our opera
tions in the Far East should be the destruc-
ticm Of this fighting force.
Other experts advocate direct inva-
s'on OF the Japanese islands, believing that
the capture or destruction of Industrial fa-
eilities aud the armed occupation of the
home islands would end the war Both
schoois of thought express the opinion that
the Chinese army. properly reinforced and

or the mainland

FOR TARIFF REDUCTIONS

The U. S. Chamber of Commerce has
endorsed the administrations proposal for
additional tariff-cutting power. The .direc-
sors, it is reported, unanimously approved
the bill extending the Reciprocal Trade Act
.or three years and giving the President
new authority to cut duties in trade agree
ments with other nations.
We do not know whether this view
point reflects a change in the established
policies of the Chamber of Commerce. The
fact that business men, through such an
organization. approve further reductions in
the tariff indicates that not all business
men continue ito believe in the protective
Theory espoused by manufacturers who are
the beneficiaries of the tariff.
TIE progressive removal of barriers TO
international trade is certain to result in
the economic improvement of the world.
Moreover, in the opinion of many students,
the removal of economic grievances will
tend to make possible an era of peace.
What this means in essence is that all
people in the world should have the right
to dispose of their services or products to
the best advantage.

AIR CREWS AND DANGER

The cost of our aerial offensive against
Germany is seen in part by the fact that the
L. S. Eighth Air Force. operating from
England, lists 43,742 fighter pilots and
bomber pilots crewmen as killed or miss
ing in action
The missing in action include some air
men who managed to avoid death in
crashes inside Germany or bailed out to
safety This factor will probably be absent
in operation against Japan because of the
probability that the barbaric japanese may
exact repriSals upon captured airmen.
In this connection, it is not too early
for the people of this country to make up
their minds to demand severe penalties
against the japanese for the mistreatment
of captured Americans.

.sUIcIpE IS CONFESSION

Is a mans aggressiveness along purely
physical lines measured by the value he
places on his life?
To put the question in another way
Is the most warlike man he who values
life least?
We have heard those questions, in eff
feet, asked in Key West good many times
during the frequent suicides, capped with
Heinrich Himmler,s, that have been COM
mitted by Germans since the collapse of
their country.
We turn from the Germans to the Japs
and find that suicides among the latter are
even more frequent.
When Japan was closed to the world,
suicides were far less frequent among her
nationals than at present, and it has been
only during the last three or four genera
many.
Most of the suicides in Germany, dur
ing the last three-quarters of century.
have been committed by hanging, and in
Japan by disemboweling, two of the most
horrible ways of taking ones life.
Thus it turns out that, in the two coun-
tries where life is least valued, the spirit
of conquest. of waging war in its most cruel
form, regardless of the lives of civilians,
has been the most pronounced in modern
times.
Germans are paying an awful toll to-
day for that attitude. They are people
without country. so far as its government
is concerned. and they have been as utterly
routed as were the -Carthaginians by the
Romans after Hannibal suffered his final
defeat
And the toll the Japs will pay will be
far worse than that which the Germans will
suffer Aside from the fact that the Japs
will lose all of the territory they have con-
quered since they became an aggressor ma
ton, they are not mentally sufficient, as are
the Germans, to adjust themselves to the
conditions that will be forced on them
when they Internationally surrender. as
hey will do, despite all the blarings and
sleatings that are coming out of Tokyo
over or through the air.
The picture is dark for Germany, but
t is far darker for Japan.
The Japs will resort to suicide on a
ar greater scale than the Germans have,
nd. as Daniel Webster said, Suicide is
Confession

/ am grateful TO Keathly Bow
Con, publisher of the, Monticello
News, for calling my attention to
an incident that occurred in JEFF
ferson County short time ago.
While it may appear as small
news in world tense with inter-
national happenings, it, nevsrthe-
less, is directly related to the fu-
ture welfare and happiness of the
human race and to my mind is as
deserving of widespread publicity
as the San Francisco conference,
fer it is a practical demonstration
of the harmony, understanding
and tolerance that all the world
must practice if we are to avoid
another war and gain the peace
we all hope for.
In the northeast section of the
county. Jim Lacy operates a LOO
acre farm and had a large section
OF it planted when he was taken
|. il and his physician advised that
he must have complete rest and
could not engage in any kind of
work The manpower shortage
| had robbed Lacy of most of his
help, he had no one who was able
to operate his tractors and other
mechanical equipment and it
looked as though he was destined
to lose his entire crop which was
suffering from lack of cultiva-
zion.
The neighboring farmers were
themselves Short handed and hav-
ing a hard time taking care of
their own fields and the situation
looked plenty bad A neighbor,
Carl Joiner, discussed the matter
with Miles Grower, negro county
agent. Grower knew and liked
| farmer jim as Lacy was affec-
tionately known IN the area. jim
was a good and kindly man. No
matter haw busy he was, he al
ways seemed to have time TO help

| He had been kind to many OF
! the colored folks in the neighbor-
hood and was liked and respect
ed by everyone. Now farmer Jim
was in trouble, bad trouble

couldn't do something about it
Asking Joiner to accompany him

the the fact that Jim Lacy was
sick in bed and must stay there
for month or more and unless he
tcould get some help he stood &c

cession of negroes, each with his
