ITS A RACE IN NEW YORK
STATE
Until Governor Herbert H. Lehman
consented to nin again for chief
executive of New York state it looked
vei v much as if Thomas E. Dew
ey, youthful and successful prosecutor
of racketeers. would romp away
witk election to that office on the
Republican ticket over any candidate
the Democrats would be able to find.
But so popular is Governor Lehman
and so strong1 is his record as an administrator
that Mr. Dewey will have
an uphill fight in which anything'
many happen.
If aEt Dewey should win and conduct
a successful administration he
would be even more strongly in the
spotlight for a possible presidential
nomination in 1940 than he is now
It is no question of a third term
with Governor Dehronn he is already
serving' that, having been
elected in 1932, '34 and '36. The
nomination now is for the state's
first four-year term. Thus whichever
candidate is eV?cted will be in
the middle of a term when the 1940
conventions come around
. Governor Lehman sharply criticises
Mr. Dewey for being willing to
leave unfinished the job of district
attorney to which he was recently
elected in New York City. However
the youthful prosecutor's friends will
argue that by the time he has retired
the James J. Hines case, which
in any event should be concluded before
the end of the year, he will
have done a good term's work. The
governor also has pledged that if he
is elected he will serve out the foury^ar
term. This might require some
e^q>laining or convenient forgetting
if the Democratic warty nationally
should show an inclination toward
nominating mm lor Pratoent
While there has been no particular
boom for Governor Lehman in this
ilirection, the executive of the largest
state is always in the presidential
picture. The greeting from President
Rosevelt to the convention shows the
New I>eal is glad to have Mr. Lehman
on its ticket, notwithstanding his
independence in opposing the supreme
court plan. The gubernatorial
race in New York 3tate may be a
small preview of the presidential
campaign in 1940 and is at least
something of an elimination contest.

Fireside Philosophy
By C. M. Dickson
ft is hard to reconcile the fact
(but it is true) that some of the
"dumbest" people in all the world
the longest tongues.
It is probably a blessing that everybody
is not afraid of bullets or
there would be nobody left to
'"cleanse" the temple.
If a person possesses the spirit of
courtesy and gratiRraNnH',tude
and in addition
HS^Hhas self respect,
ifcjwmany smaller things
g i 11 automatically
.JgsuB come his way.
Jflj However odious
r JH ;comparisons may
gUB'bc, one never knows
blow large or small
H he is until he comniH
pares himself with
some one else.

the boxing arena.
Unless a boy can be persuaded to
take enough time from his French
and English to practice, so far as
the athletic stunts of today are concerned,
the jig is up with him.
The girl who is too "domesticated"
to j accept all invitations to long-distance
night rides, movies and bridge
patties, is likely to miss the thrill of
getting in contact with Reno.
jt looks like that if the whole
country becomes electrified that
about all people will have to do is to
learn to "press the button."
Man is the only animal in all
/Christendom that lias ever given
God one bit of trouble.
The sin of omission is charged
against a man who does leas than
his best.
Right saya, "Control yourself";
wrong says, "Do 33 you please."
Pitiful is the man who Is so much
interested in you that he loses his

I doubt if there has ever lived a ]
doctor, who at some time or other in ^
his professional career, was not call- i
i cd upon to remove a foreign body !
I from the interior of a human be- j
|! big
j It is most common to have chil- .
j tiren of all ages resort to the prac- ! ]
j tice of inserting peas, beans, tacks, j *
j nails, pieces of stone and dirt into ^
| their nostrils and ears or else swal- <
j lowing them. i
Among girls, hundreds, when they i
: wore their hair long, bit off the ends |
j and swallowed them, in time to have ^
! these bits of hair form into a ball- J ,
' shaped mass in the stomach, which !?
j often required a surgical operation ; i
to remove. |<
General Robert G. Pyrenforth ' :
i carried a bullet he received in a '
j Civil War engagement in his body !
J for more than thirty years. He was j:
| wounded in the chest, and I removed j
; the bullet from the calf of his leg. i
An elderly murderer, recently exe
j cuted in Sing Sing, for years had \
j been swallowing pins sr.xl needles. |
J X-ray pictures show, i a great many :
! of these drcssmakei's accessories j

in the interior portion of the left side '
of his chest, mil told the interne he
] believed a needle had stuck in his
I body. The paii: increased materially i
j in intensity and was aggravated by
'deep breathinv. His heart sounds j
j were olnscured by a coarse, grating
I murmur.
; A diagnosis needle in the heart
was n.ade and the X-ray pictuivs
I taken confirmed this An operation
] exposing the heart was performed
and a needle two inches long was removed
from that organ, the eye por- ,
lion of the needle being Visible to
the operating surgeon. This needle
had passed through the tip of the
upper lobe of the left lung and into
the heart.
The man sui rived the operation
and seemed to be cn the road to recovery,
when he suddenly died. An
autopsy showed that the needle had
punctured the left ventricle of the :
heart.
