Ickes and Bailey
Secretary of the Interior Ickes says that Sena
tor Josiah W. Bailey has been offered the 1940
Presidential nomination by ex-President Hoover.
Senator Bailey denies the charge.
We do not pretend to know which of this pair
of redoubtable functionaries is correct in his as
severation.
But assuming: that Ickes is right, it would be
easy to believe that the ex-President could afford
to be generous with gifts that go begging. But
many people would at the same time applaud his
spirit of wishing to reward one who has given
such distinguished service to the Republican
party.
Let America Be Ready
It has always been the policy of this newspaper
to advocate for our great country the strongest
military power in the world as a means of main
taining peace and security for our people.
We flatter ourselves that this position was
never so well established as today when it is dem
onstrated unquestionably that there is no honor
or integrity among the nations of Europe. Over
there treaties are but scraps of paper. Alliances
are made only to be betrayed. Solemn pacts
and obligations are false as dicers' oaths.
America should have two battle fleets guard
ing our immense shore lines and two oceans,
either of the fleets bigger than England's. We
should have more battleplanes than any four
nations of the world. We should be prepared at
all times to defend America against the world.
Do We Have An Election?
Both parties are either doing nothing, or else
are keeping their operations very quiet. It is
only 4 weeks till the election. Is it a calm that
precedes a storm?
This is a good crop—maybe next will not be
good. Sow wheat, and make home supplies.

Little streams should be stock

are stocked. Little boys have as
much right to do good minnow
fHhing as men have to good basa
lor trout fishing.
