Well, Maine and Vermont are too cold
I for donkeys anyhow.
Only the rocks in Maine and Vermont
kept them from sliding too.
President Roosevelt is going to put 1
everybody in the upper class or at least give !
| them a chance to move up.
FARLEY, A PREDICTOR
James A. Farley, holding the dual po
sition of posjntaster general and democratic
national chairman, got his razzing from the
Republican press during the first Roosevelt
“term, but these razzers will have to admit
now that he is the most accurate political
predictor that ever predicted.
Mr. Farley claimed 46 of the states for
Roosevelt Most people thought that was
political ginger to whoop the boys up. So
much wild claiming is done these days that
all of us are inclined to discount much that
we hear. But Farley was right. He even
named the two states that he conceded to
Landon and if future elections the poll con
ductors should hire him to predict and save
the expense of mailing straw ballots to vot
1 ers throughout the nation.
WORTHY OF THOUGHT
A new penal code for Nazi Germany, dis
| closed to the press for the first time this
week, offer* interesting commentary on the
f- nation's viewpoint. The death penalty is
promised for murder and extortionary kid
napping; and publicly advocating birth con
trol, cornering the market and making in
sulting remarks about Adolf Hitler are plac
| ed in the same category, as prison offenses.
But most interesting, one which we all
; might do well to study is the one warning of
“monetary fines or jail sentences for resur
recting the pasts of persons who have since
proved worthy citizens.”
What could be better than teaching peo
ple to take their fellows at their face value,
and to appraise them on present worth to
the community or state rather than on an
§ evil past, safely dead.
THE NEXT FOUR YEARS
This country will experience a season ofj
prosperity during the next four years of the
Roosevelt administration. Business runs in
cycles and it is due for an up-swing because
| of the tide in business movements and be
cause of the encouragement the administra
tion has given through recovery measures.
THe danger is that we might become too op
timistic and reckless, with disastrous re
sults.
President Roosevelt will not run again.
It would be contrary to precedent for him to
seek a third term. Having full knowledge of
the fact that he is serving his last term, the
President will no doubt turn somewhat to
the right. His desire will be to balance af
fairs on a solid and substantial basis. No
longer will he use his tactics of forcing con
gress to enact liberal legislation. The emer
gency is over. Some new measures already
| suggested and familiar to the public will no
doubt be put through the Congressional mill
but we do not believe that radicalism is in
his mind.
For the next four years the President
will endeavor to make a name for himself
that will go down in history as one of the
nation’s greatest chieftains. He wilt not seek
to appease every group that followed him.
Members of Congress who were victorious
because of their allegiance to him may in
terpret the huge victory in the wrong light,
but Mr. Roosevelt will put on the brakes
rather than prod Congress along.
MENACE OF THE THIRD SHIFT
Ex-Governor Max Gardner handed out
sound advice today at the Cotton Textile In
stitute meeting: at Pinehurst when he warn-,
od the manufacturers not to restore the third
shift and thereby demoralize the market, j
The cotton textile industry is getting on
its feet again. Of course many mills went
on the auction block during the depression
end millions of dollars were lost to stock
holders. It was a costly pruning but today
every indication points to a long period of
•lability and reasonable profits, “provided a
decent regard is shown for the importance
of keeping production in reasonable balance
present and prospective demand,” says
Mr. Gardner.
Since there is no national control as to
hours of labor and the mills may operate on
hour and wage schedules prescribed by the
various states, it is a great temptation for
some, too eager to take advantage of recov
ery, to put on the third shift and overpro
duce.
The textile industry' was the fijst to
adopt a code. After the NRA was held un
constitutional, this group has adhered to its
principles better than any other major in
dustry. A few violations here and there,
however, may produce an unwholesome situ
ation and result in restrictive legislation by
the next Congress.
"The forty hour week is the Magna
Charts of the economic and social rehabili
tation of the cotton textile industry in this
nation” declared Gov. Gardner who is not
only an authority on politics, but on econom
ics as well.
Labor, as well as astute textile manu
facturers have come to realise that if the
principles of NRA are maintained, both will
profit. It is but natural that they prefer to
retain the principles voluntarily rather than
under force of law.
What Other Papers Say

SOUR NOTE
(Charleston News and Courier)
In the rejoicing over the triumph of the Roost
I veltians will be gloating over the discomfiture of the
“Tories" in South Carolina. The News and Courier
among them, and in another two yean, if we shall

CIVIC PRIDE
(Bmlthfleld Herald)
Civic pride doei not Just happen. It hae to be

by the time they enter school, the next generation will
see Just as marvelous change not only pertaining to
appearance but to health.
Nobody’s Business
- By GEE McGEE __
THANK THE LORD. IT’S ALL OVER AT LAST
Well, Polks: The election Is over. Mebbe your fa
vorite candidate failed to make the grade. The other
fellow will suit you Just about as well, so let’s make
the best of it.
Lots of us have got a large passel of things to for
give and forget. Many of us have been mean and
rampant and careless In our daily walk and conver
sation. We have accused each other of being crooks
and socialists and communists, but possibly only half
of what we said was true.
Hundreds of good men made fools of themselves.
There appeared 3 distinct "isms” in the political field
this year, viz: ass-ism, mass-ism and class-ism Sev
eral men in high places indulged viciously In the first
named; the second-named likewise had its flock but
from all walks of life, it remained for the radicals
and government haters to rally around the last nam
ed.
If you don't like the president and vice-president
that were elected, can slip around behind the
barn and cry about It; but that's about all the good
you’ll get out of it. The country Is all right, but some
of our citizens are all wrong. Prosperity has returned.
We ought to be satisfied upon Its return and not
worry about what or who brought It.
There are 3 terrible afflictions that come upon us
periodically. With your pardon, we will list below the
names of these afflictions in the order of their re
spective severity:
1—Politics.
1—Politics.
3—Politics.
..Somebody said that “one politician is as good as
another; if there's any difference, he's a derned sight
worser.” Politics are made up of possible and impos
sible promises, neither of which is ever intentionally
carried out; that is, if it serves any person other than
the politician himself. Some men go into politics for
fame, others enter therein for fortune, and the other
| two fellows become politicians for the good of thei?
j country and the public generally.
I Let us hope that the preachers will go back to their
! preaching; that the business men will go baes to their
j jobs. The new president Is our president, and “that
jail they are to it," as Anstotie aid.
DOING NICELY
Washington
Daybook

(AmmUM Frees sun Writer)
WASHINGTON.—Who is going
to be the national chief of police?
A year ago you could hear often
that J. Edgar Hoover, chief of the
G-men, some time
would head not
only his bureau
of investigation
agents, but a con
solidation of the
famed secret serv
ice and various
other police and
detective agencies
of the govern
ment. You don't
hear that so often
now. It never had
any official sup
port. rtfSTON L GftOVir
Washington now hears much talk
of a back-fire being built up against
the phenomenal rise of the stocky.;
black-haired executive whose agents i
have raised ned with the kidnap
ing Industry and made bank rob
bery a criminal hasard Instead of |
a criminal sport.
Determined Foes
He has many staunch friends. But1
well-bolstered rumor credits him
with having also some determined
foes besides Senator McKellar of
Tennessee, who alone barked out
his opposition as an increase in
Hoover’s pay went through that
body last session. He gets $10,000 a
year now. against $9,000 before. !
Hoover and his men had most!
of the publicity for a long time. I
Since rum-row died out. the var-j
ious police agencies under the treas-!
ury haven't been much in the news.
Hie secret service is always around
with the president, but is seldom
mentioned in dispatches. The sec
ret service also protects the cur
rency. Yet in the most recent ex-!
posure of a counterfeiting ring in'
New York, some of Hoover's men
came in for a share of the glory.
Breakfast foods, Illustrated news
paper "hero'' strips and radio broad
casts feature Hoover and his men.
Then recently came that exchange
of letters between the department
of justice and Secretary Morgen
thau of the treasury disclosing that
certain secret service agents had
been sort of “checking up” on the
Hoover men. Morgenthau apologiz
ed and ordered a couple of secret
service men demoted. Another
break for Hoover.
Treasury Seeks Bit Force
But lately something else hap
pened. The treasury announced it
would ask congress to consolidate
its police agencies under one head!
in the treasury. That would give
the treasury a force of 2.890 men,
not including the 380 in the narco
tics branch, to be kept separate for
a time.
Hoover's force amounts only to I
625.
The treasury group would in
clude: Secret service, 800; customs
investigation agency, 300; border
patrol, 590; alcoholic tax unit, 1 -
700.
Who will head them may not be
announced until congress acts on
j the consolidation bill W H Moran

Youth Gets Away
From Age Of Jazz
HOUSTON. Tex.. Nov. 6.—{Jty_
Bishop E. D. Mouzon of Charlotte, j
said today reaction to the “Jazz I
Age" had caused a reawakening of |
moral consciousness in youth.
The Senior Bishop of the Meth- !
odist Episcopal Church, South was 1
here for the joint meeting of both
branches of the Methodist church
in Texas.
“The reawakening of moral con
sciousness in the younger genera
tion," he said, “is due to two main
factors. The first Is the reaction to
the jazz age. which has passed out
of the picture now. The second is
the fact that the church has step- |
ped into the breach and met the
demand for spiritual guidance with
a vigorous campaign to bring
young people closer to the fold.”
j chief of the secret service, is Ap
proaching retirement. Some have
an eye on Joseph E. Murphy, assist
ant. who was ordered demoted and
| was given a post in the field after
the affair with Hoover's men. But
he hasn’t gone, still administers the !
unit in Moran's ahsenca.
Mercy Death Case
Worries England
LONDON, NOV. e—<*>)—The trad
ition-steeped house of lords faces
the necessity of answering one of
the most extraordinary questions in
its long history:
Has the sufferer of an incurable
ailment the right to select death to
escape lingering pain?
The question was contained in a
"mercy death” bill introduced in
parliament yesterday to authorize
medical men to kill hopeless pa
tients who want to die. Lord Pon
aonby, its sponsor, thus climax d a
year's campaign by many medical
and church leaders fdr euthanasia,
“easy death.”
Ponsonby will move the second
reading of the bill Dec. 1 and it Will
become a debatable issue then. The
measure ncm is in the hands of the
printer. Its author refused to dis
cuss it except to say it provides for
the death of patients whose ail
ments are diagnosed incurable, “at
their own request” and “with prop
er safeguards.”
Blum Assailed On
His Double Budget
PARIS, Nov. 6.—(&)—Bitterly as
sailed by' a welter of charges, So
cialist Premier Blum, himself cited
to appear in court on fraud allega
tions, convened a "multi-billion dol
lar” parliament today.
Knemies of Slum’s leftist popular
front government, which took office
last June, girded themselves for a
violent assault on Blum’s so-called
“double budget”;—a cabinet-approv
ed measure calling for giant in
creases in the ordinary and extra
ordinary budgets for 1937
(On armaments and national de
fense alone, the budget would spend
a total of $$743,000,000. with an ad
ditional $300,000,000 for public works
and unemployment relief),
On the very eve of the session,
new attacks on the Blum regime
flared, and new labor strife also
marked the return of the legisla
tors as strikers occupied an oil re
finery and the Panhard Levassor
automobile plant in Paris.

Important Groups
J o i n In Victory
Declares Johnson
COLUMBIA, S. C- Noy. 6.—W)—
Governor OUn Johnston, national
Democratic executive committee
man, predicts that alignment at the
labor and farm vote would lead to
“victory for Democratic adminis
trations, and the people, for many
years to come.”
Commenting on President Roose
velt’s overwhelming reelection the
governor said “The laboring masses
of the industrial oenters joined
hands with the fanners of the
south and west. They delivered a
complete rout of the Republican
policies of reaction.
"Tliey beat Landon in name, but
more than that, they beat the Du
Pont, William Randolph Hearsts,
Al Smith, lienry Herd, and the old
Hoover-Mellon crowd. They won a
great victory for the people.
"With the joining of these two
unport ant groups, the farmers of
the west and south and the labor
ers of the great industrial centers
of the east and north, the Demo
cratic party has the added nucleus
to out-number the Republicans, and
I predict victory for Democratic
administration and the people for
many years to came.”
Terming the election “The most
momentous political event in the
history of the United States," the
governor said "The Question at the
polls as I saw it was whether we
would let our country go back into
the hands of the former privileged
few, or whether we would continue
a government that is providing for
the laboring man. the farmer and
the day-by-day business man.”
He rSJ the failure of the Re
publicans to carry any state other
than Maine and Vermont proved
that the worker, framer and small
business man "is overwhelmingly
Democratic.”

BUCK CATS and WILDCATS
Black cats do not bring bad luck, not even on
Halloween. That’s mere superstition.
But years and years of bad luck, poverty, and
misery, may follow if a “wildcat” salesman crosses
your path.
Money that it took you half your life to save, may
be gone overnight in exchange for worthless “in
vestments.”
Don’t worry about black cats, but be supersititious
all your life about “wildcats.” Never invest a cent
with a stranger without first making a thorough
investigation. Your banker will be glad to help
you get unbiased information on any proposed in
vestment.
