Reappraisal By COP Needed, Stevenson Says

CINCINNATI R - Democrat
Adlai Stevenson last night called
for an "agonizing reappraisal" in
the hearts of Republican politicians
"who for so long nourished us on
myths and McCarthyism."
Zone of the myths and distor-
tions that has been carefully cul.
tivated for a long time is that
the Democratic party is ANTITRUST
ness" he told a Democratic cam
paign dinner.
The 1852 presidential candidate
said the Republican "hatchet men
will conduct the smear attacks on
the flanks" while Presi d e n t
Eisenhower delivers little SER
monettes."
But he said the election this
week of a Democratic governor in
Maine for the first time in 20 years
confirms that "our people are tired
Of this unending diet of equal
portions of niceness, nonsense and
nastiness.
Stevenson devoted a substantial
part of his address to business and
how he said it prospered under
Democratic presidents.
"For every three business enter
prises existing in this country when
the Democrats took office in 1888,
there were four by 1883" he said.
''The rate of business failures
during the so-called Golden 2Os was
10000 a year. But that figure
dropped to only 5000 a year even
during the hard post-World War II
period of adjustment from war to
peace to defense mobilization.
Corporation profits after taxes
were more than twice as high in
1852 as in the Republican peak
year of 1929"

party and the business community

I have just received a letter
from a paddock manufacturer
speculating on the meaning of
the increased sales of padlocks
in rural areas during the last
three years.
The paddock people wonder If
farm income has dipped to the
point where rural people feel q
greater need for property pro-
lection.
Or, they suggest, maybe farm
erS have more possessions be-
cause Of higher farm prices after
the war.
They add a third possibility
that farmers are showing the
traditional suspicion of the "city
slicker" who has been moving to
the country in greater numbers
Of late.
Living in an honest section of
the country. I haven't noticed
any increase in the use of pad
locks.
It's fortunate, too, because I
never have been able to keep q
key.
Our weeping willow tree failed
to put out leaves this year-ap-
parently victim of last sum-
mer's drought.
1t is a great loss to us, be-
cause it made such q beautiful
picture down by the front stream.
Fortunately another is coming
along, but it will be many a year
before it can spread its branches
over our driveway as the old one
did.

Our we'll is running again and
our COW has freshened and that
means things are back to nor
NAL on The 40 Acres.
Our we'll stopped for a day
while we got a pump fixed and
just as the water started flowing
our COW gave birth to a bull
calf. My days of leisure have
ended.
The COW, as could be expected,
picked the most inaccessible
spot on the place to have her
calf. I had to carry 1t out OF
the pine and honeysuckle
thicket, take down q fence and
then carry it into the back field.
All the while the cow either
was chasing the dog or trying
to trample me in her anxiety
over her new son. The horse
was acting up, too, because she
hadn't been in on things from the
beginning and wanted to get
into the picture and take charge
of things.
\ X X \
Jane, who I find is good at
giving advice, told me I had
better get the wheelbarrow to
bring the calf down to the barn.
I thought better, of course, and
so got the tractor and trailer
up in, the field.
The tractor, naturally, ran
out of gas just after I got the
calf loaded, so I had to use the
wheelbarroW after all.
And so, here we came, down
through the field-the calf in
the barrow. the cow mooing
along behind, taking a few side
trips to chase away the dog,
and the horse prancing about
and kicking UP her heels at
everything.
The horse seems to be nearly
as fond of the calf as it's mother.

ture, and when bring the cow
