who will determine his domestic
economic policies.
There are real differences be-
tween the two parties in the
domestic field. The Democratic
Party thinks the Government
has three major economic func-
tions. It should be an umpire
and policeman to see that the
economic game is played ac-
cording to the rules-the rules
that we have worked out over
long period of time in this
country to prevent private abuse
Of economic freedom.
We Democrats are against
monopolies. We are against un-
fair competition. We are against
Misrepresentation in the SELL
ing Of securities. And so forth
and SO on. This is about the
only function that the Repub-
licans would let the Govern
ment perform in the economic
field-and they don't even want
the Government to do a very
thorough job of policing.
The second and really a
more important task-is defense
against depression. This is the
area in which the Democratic
administration of Franklin
Roosevelt and Harry Truman
have made notable advances.
There is no need for this coun-
try ever again to go through

sion. And we are not going to!

social security measures and tax
and fiscal policies are all de-

The Republican leadership has
ridiculed this program. de-
nounced it and threatens to
dismantle it if returned to
power. This is. I think, an
important fact for the voters to
remember.

Each Party Expected
To Blow Own Horn

Now, of course, the nature of
a political campaign is such
that each party is supposed and
expected to blow it's own horn.
Every one understands this, I
think. AS the old saying goes,
some of my best friends are Re-
publicans-and I hope they still
will be when the campaign is
over.
But wouldn't be here if I
didn't think that We Democrats
have the best of the argument.
would like to try to put our
case into few words today. All
of the issues that have been
talked out in this campaign
come down. it seems to me, to
peace and prosperity. Those are
the questions which really affect
all OF us. Let's take a look at
them.
Every American is concerned
with the question of good times.
All that we have heard on this
from the Republican leadership
is scare-stuff. The general says
our prosperity is a sham
prosperity. that it is based on
war. and that it is going to COL
lapse as soon as defense orders
taper off. l don't think this
advances our knowledge and
understanding very far.
On this subject the general
has agreed to agree with Sena-
tor Taft. On domestic economic
policies the general has, in
effect, admitted that he does
not know very much. If he did,
don't think he would have
chosen Senator Taft as the man

our bipartisan foreign policy
right along. They have said that
1t costs too much, forgetting
that, however expensive peace
may be, it will cost us nothing
compared to a new world war.
I think that on balance our
policies have been nightly sue
cessful. They have rallied and
united the free world and have
checked the spread of COM
muniSm. If the democracies had
pursued policies of a comparable
boldness in the 30s, we might
have averted the second world
war. If we stick with these pol
ices. I deeply believe, we shall
avert a third world war.
The greatest reverse was in
China-and I don't think any
responsible American in either
party, including my opponent,
ever favored doing the only
thing which might have saved
China-that is, sending Ameri-
can arms and soldiers in force
to bolster up the crumbling
armies of Chang Kai-shek. Nor,
so far as I know, do they favor
doing it today. Until they have
the candor to acknowledge this
as the only real alternative.
their Interpretation of the China
issue remains, in my judgment,
disingenous and indefensible.
Our policy of collective
strength has worked. It has
worked so well that we may
well be seeing-this week in

The conviction of the Demo-

to peace lies through the build

policy of strength is formid-
able. But the price of the policy

Daily Reading Of Bible
Suggested by Truman
BY the Asseeioied Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-President
Truman said yesterday people
should read their Bibles daily, like
they used to do in the old days.
In a message noting the observ-
ance of National Bible Week
from October 20 to october 26, he
called attention to new Catholic
and Protestant revisions of the
Scriptures, and Vaid:
There was a time when nearly
every one read the Bible daily. We
need the guidance of such daily
reading today just as much as we
did then. and I hope that the new
revisions will lead many people to
turn more often to this great
source of spiritual strength and
wisdom"

Dangerous to Talk Tough
Unless We Are Set to Act

We all know in our bones
that it is dangerous to talk
tough unless we are ready to act
tough. The new Republican
policy-and I am sorry to say
this-is to talk tough while we
simultaneously weaken our de-
tense and alliances. That just
doesn't make sense to me. That
is a sure road to disaster.

MONTANA had heard enough.
- Many things now were clear.
It was plain why Black Jack and
the Dutchman and their men had
been waiting in the junction: spy
ing to keep an eye on the herd and
the new owner until Forrest and
the girls left town. They were
going to close in on the stage and
take over, and then get in touch
with Ransom. AS for Ro Rundert,
the man was playing for very big
stakes. He had crossed up the man
who called himself King Ransom,
apparently believing that, If he
worked with Caswell and the
Dutchman, the haul would in the
long run be richer. He was an
INSCRIPTIONS gunman, vain, be-
ieving in himself and his cronies.
Montana rolled over. With a
1.-the movement he twisted side
ways, jerked the 40-65 out Of the
warbag, reached in for a belt of
cartridges for the weapon, and
slung them over his shoulder
bandolier fashion. He crept down
through the buckbruSh, looking
back, the big repeater gripped in
his right hand. The stage showed
up through the trees and his first
thought was of Orndorf. The
driver lay in a half-sitting posi-
ton, his back against the trunk OF
pine, his mouth open and heavy
shores coming from it. The whis-
key had almost put him out. In
covered pans the food was waiting
among the ashes, and down by the
creek the horses, fed and some
what rested, stood with hips
slumped, eyes closed drowsily.
It was a matter of moments for
Montana tc get his saddle. He
slipped the Winchester into its
boot and then carried saddle and
bride to the horses. He didn't
know whether they were saddle
broken or not, but there was little
time to bother about such things.
Selecting the three gentlest-look-
ing ones, he quickly removed
their nosebags. No time to water
them now. They couldn't run on
bellies filed with water.
Orndorf had not embarrassed
the animals, and Montana worked
fast, almost frantically getting of
the harness but leaving on two Of
the brides. It was but the work
of moments to cut lines into reins

tore her own skirt.
II played you for a square one
all along" she said. Maybe ] was
mistaken, maybe not. But any
gamble with a gun fighter is better
than to chance falling into the
hands Of Dutch Saunders. Help
me. up"
He grasped her foot and swung
her to the saddle, and admiration
filled him at the manner in which
his half-Sister had met the situa-
ton. He leaped astride his own
mount and gigged the animal to-
ward the creek. The horses tried
to lower their heads and drink
but were pushed on across. One of
them stumbled on a smooth rock
in the shallow water and the
sharp noise sounded like q gum
shot.
A yell came from behind. and
that was the signal that Montana
had been dreading. No chance
now of slipping away unseen and
getting a big head start They
would have to run for it.
With slash of the long cut
harness he sent Helen Forests
mount plunging ahead and the
three broke into q run through
the timber. Montana spurred his
own mount and plunged on be-
side them. His eyes went 70 the
Eastern sirl. Thank God she could
ride!
Montana threw q glance back.
A group Of riders had cone out
into the clearing by the stage and
were yelling and pointing. This
much he could make out rs his
barebacked mount plunged on. He
caught brief glance Of startled
Orndorf leaping to his feet saw
a movement Of Dutch Saunders'
right hand stabbing downward
over the saddle. A report, faint in
the rushing wind. drifted to his
ears.
Saunders, in bestial rage, had
shot down the renegade Ransom
driver.
The others had not hesitated.
They spurred hard through the
trees and Rundert suddenly ap-
peared among them, astride an
other Of the coach horses. For O
mile Montana urged his charges
ahead, ducking in Ind out Of gull
lies while he tried every trick in
the book to throw of the pursuers.
Those tricks were few: there was
no time.

a tree. He tied them there and
hurried back to the coach.
Both girls were sound asleep
He bent and touched Belle Ram
son, the half-sister he had never
known, and her range-wise eyes
opened at once. He placed a finger
to his lips.
Don't talk. he said, low-voiced.
"Black Jack Caswel and Dutch
Saunders are here with about q
dozen men,"
"Where?"
He nodded toward the East.
"Over there. You're both being
held for ransom. Rundert seems
to have engineered the deal"
She was a woman of action. She
turned to waken Helen, and Mon
tana. knowing the hard-riding job
that lay ahead, risked all by
climbing up on top of the coach
for Rundert's saddle. But Orndorf
was still asleep and too deeply to
hear. When Montana reached the
ground again Helen looked at him,
her eyes widening. Gone was the
well dressed man of a. little while
before. In his place stood a West
erner in riding leather, gun-belted,
and carrying a big Winchester, a
third cartridge belt slung over
one shoulder bandolier fashion.
Scan you rider" he asked.
"Quite well, thank you."
"We'd better get going fast. I"
Something about him, the stoni-
ness of his countenance, the guns
he wore, brought a doubt to her
mind. She remembered McBain
on the train.
"Who are your" she whispered.
''Why did you come with us?"
"They call me Montana, Miss
Forrest. And ] came with you to
save a mans Life"
LIE hurried the two Of them
1 i along, for sounds had come
from over in the trees. They came
to the horses and Montana slipped
the saddle on what he took to be
the best horse. He bent swiftly,
grabbed the dangling girth. and
cinched it tight, an unsaid prayer
going out that it might need no
adjustment.
He dropped on his knees before
Helen Forrest and before she was
aware of what was happening the
knife dashed and a two-foot rent
appeared in her skirt. He spun her
around and ripped again. Then
she was being flung bodily up into

NEW YORK R-The nations
railroads say they are losing mil
lions of dollars by serving food
and drink to passengers.
Many a dining car patron may
raise an eyebrow at this, thinking
that prices are so high the roads
must be making money off Of
meals.
But the roads say that for every
dollar you pay them for food and
drink they put out an average
$1.39.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission backs them up. Il says
the combined dining and buffet
revenues of the roads last year
was 70 million dollars, while ex-
penses totalled 10 million dollars.
The roads bame the 81 million
dollar loss on high costs Of labor
and food, and the licenses and tax
es they pay in the states where
they operate.
The Pennsylvania Railroad says
that in June labor costs In the
dining car took 10 cents Of each
dollar Of revenue. Food costs took
Il cents. Other costs added 70 the

Labor costs are higher IN diners
