A safety rule in using a straight
ladder is to place the bottom one
fourth as far from the bottom of
the wall as the ladder is long.
The bottom of a 12-foot ladder
should be set feet from the wall.
If the bottom rests on slippery

The first one is Christian. We
believe we are responsible, first of
all to God, that every individual is
important, and that we are to think
for ourselves, weighing facts, test
ing to see if they are true. We
gladly accept our responsibilities
to serve our nation and our fellow
man wherever we have an oppor-
tunity.
The second is Communist. This
believes that no one individual is
important in himself, but only as
he serves the State, which is real
ly a group of self-appointed dicta-
tors. The Christian religion to them
is a myth.
Today might be a good time to
think, what do | really believe ?"
Reaching a right conclusion, we
will gladly accept every good re-
sponsibility that comes our way.
The more we really think for
the wider and stronger
will become "Om Growing Edge"

Certainly, the re-eXamination of
the Yalta agreement has done the
Roosevelt memory no good. Nor
has the so-callcd Secret Diary of
Harold Ickes,' in which he, in eff
feet, says that Mr.. Roosevelt's
word could not be taken, and that
long before he died he felt he could
not be trusted, added to his pres
tige. Mr.. Ickes, himself, was not
man to tie to but he was close
to the late Roosevelt and when he
says regretfully that his word was
not good, it can be taken as an
understatement. Mr.. Raymond
Moley, Mr.. James Farley, the late
Hugh johnson and others intimate
ly associated with the eX-Prcsident
came to that conclusion long be-
fore Mr.. Ickcs. Consider all these
things and there is some reason to
doubt that this asset of the Roosc-
welt boys will be adequate.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1954-02-04

For example, there is a state of
affairs presented by the candi-
dacies of the Roosevelt BROTHER
Franklin, Jr., who seems certain to
be the Democratic nominee for Gov
ernor of New York, and James, who
will run for the seat in the House
of Representatives now occupied by
Representative Yorty of the Twen-
ty-sixth California district. Mr..
Yorty, it is reported, intends to run
for the Senate.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1954-02-04

1t is true that each Of the Roosc-
welt boys has been a candidate be-
fore. Franklin is now serving his
third term in the House from a
New York district, while Jimmie
ran for governor in California in
1850. But this will be the first time
they have run in a way to justify
bracketing them. The reason for
this is that though both have been
active in politics for some years,
each has exactly the same asset
the name of his father And, that
is their only asset. Neither has
achieved anything in the way Of a
public record.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1954-02-04

Take the case of Jimmie. In 1850,
Jimmie ran against the popular
Gov. Earl Warren, now Chief JUS
tice of the Supreme Court Per-
haps, it was too much to expect
Jimmie to defeat Governor Warren.
But with the magic name" and
nearly a million Democratic regis
tration majority, it was certainly
not expected that he should be
beaten by more than a million. But
that is what happened. Nor did the
campaign Jimmie made commend
him to many. He exhibited himself
as SO cheap a demagogue that Gov
ernor Warren, one of the most tenn

Though no nationwide offices

.perate of men, was led to say, as
there no end to this mans trickery?
He has had no equal since patent
medicines were sold on street cor
ncrs from a blackboard" As to
young Franklin, not even his
friends claim he has achieved
anything creditable in the way of
a record He has voted regularly
with the left-wing element of his
party, but has shown neither orig
inality nor ability. He is not per-
sonally popular with his colleagues
in the House and in the 1852 Dem
ocratic Convention, made rather a
fool of himself by joining Senator
Humphrey and the labor bosses in
futile effort to coerce the South
ern delegates.
As a gubernatorial candidate he
will have the support of the Ameri-
can Labor party, the Liberal party,
Tammany and his mother. Though,
of course, not a Communist SYM
pathizer, he will have, as have had
all recent Democratic candidates,
such support as the Communists
can give. Supporting Democratic
candidates has become Communist
routine in New York. And, GER
tainly, he will have such of his
fathers strength as can be trans
ferred. Also the labor bosses will
help finance his campaign. With
all this he may be elected, but the
prevailing opinion is that if Gov
ernor Dewey runs again he will
win. So might any other good Re
publican. This can be said Of young
Franklin-his self-confidence is
superb. Since 1919 he has put on
a good deal of weight and lost much
of his good looks. But none of his
self-conceit. Should he and Jimmie
lose this time it would definitely
prove the magic name" a myth
which would be good thing. 1t
would seem a man should have
something more to run on than his
fathers name.

1t will be interesting to see how
that asset can be cashed this time.
Of course, there is some reason to
believe that it has diminished in
value in the last few years. For
