Pi *io'vol-:. Senator from
Seath ('a» olir.a oerta iily oeeply lower
o,l himself in the f.vimation of decent
c/lizt iv of both, political p ivties when ho
linn,led the President such a gratuitous
insult as that delivered at the meeting of
the tobacco growers in Washington last
week.
The tobacco men had gathered to dis
cuss price ceilings, etc., when Smith ap
peared uninvited, proceeded to butt in,
and instead of trying to help the farm
ers with some constructive advice, took
up his time snarling about bureaucracy,
and lambasting Roosevelt, even pro
nouncing the President to be nothing
more than a "carpet bagger from New
York."
Old "Cotton Ed", suffering with cere
bral atrophy and slobbering with vin
dictive malice, should certainly be
"purged" by the people of the great
State which elected him and which he
has dishonored-
He may be protected legally by his
"senatorial immunity," but he is not
shielded from the withering contempt of
millions of both Democrats and Repub
licans who believe in common decency,
or who however at variance they may be
with the policies of their President, ac
cord to him the respect due to the chief
executive of tTie nation.
Instead of injuring the President, the
Senator from South Carolina has skunk-
lym-'P If to the level of a stinking
bilge-ditch digger.
Wendell Wilts
Wendell Willkie, seeing the board set
against lv.m, has withdrawn from the
corte t for the Republican Presidential
nomination.
Mr. Willkie, who was by far the ablest
candidate in the race, was too liberal for
those who pre searching for a candidate
to beat Roosevelt. Ho believed in prac
tically the same strong anti-isolation
policy of FDR. Indeed he was so pro
nounced in his views along that line that
manv of his party considered him reallv
a Democrat at heart. He stood for a pol
icy almost opposite to that which is the
record of his party.

Nemesis j
Doom trails relentlessly the Axis pow
ers-
If the War Department as Washing
ton is correct in its assumption that Ger
manv now is able to produce no more
than 300 planes a month', while U. S. fac
tories turn out more than 9,000, the re
sult may be quickly gnessed.
While a great authority— Sir John Dill
—estimates that the rat empire will be
destroyed and tffat soon.
