Vote Your Convictions
The political"prophets are busy clay and night tell
ing who the results will favor in the fall elections
and |minting nut thr great blessings the election t?f
one candidate will bring and (he calamities that will
follow the election of the other candidate. Hunger
for office truly makes for many political prophets.
The most unreasonable prophecy we have heard
was a prediction that I.andon and 'Knox would, be
elected. We need to be prepared in |iolitics as in war.
Trust no mistakes; go vote. Roosevelt not only will
lie elected, but he must be elected by the people. The
Liberty leaguers will not elct him.
Beast or Human Life Most Valuable
Th question of whether a raging and charging ele
phant is a murderer when he kills a man is now in
the court of California for consideration. The big
elephant that killed his kee|ier in San Francisco re.
cently was condemned to be shot by the civil authori
ties. Before the animal wa> killed, however, a lawyer
procured a writ restraining the killing on the grounds
that he was a lover of animals. Of course, the ele
hant may never have gone on another fant|>age. How
ever animal trainers fear that since die has kilted <>ne
man that he will grow mor frocious and become more
dangerous, w ith age. endangering the lives of many.
Human life is not considered the most valuable of
all life 'in the minds of some people, and it is rather
sail to see some people think more of their dogs than
they do of a neigbor's child.
Should Back Amendment
Senator Benson, of Minnesota, has introduced a
bill in Congress to change the constitution of the U
rules I Maies. giving Congress" full irowefTb pass .laws
affecting social legislation, and to acquire and operate
industry. All citizens interested in rule by the peo
?I'lc ratber than by a biased supreme court should back
such an amendment.
Landon and the Gold Standard
Three years ago ( andidate Alf M. Landon wanted
the government to inllate the currency in the sum of
$7,000,0000,000. Since that time he has been tickled
in the ribs by the great interests until he has 'grown
so gentle that he is hollering gold.
Say what you will about the Kansas candidate, but
admit he knows which way the
streams of (told flow, and that is why he won the
nomination as standard bearer for the Republican
Party. -
A Gathering oi Real Democrats
The Democratic national convention is now get
ting underway at Philadelphia.
In many respects, it is unlike most other Demo
cratic conventions of past years. ""
This time the special interests forces will have.to
take a seat in the back row. In I924 Mnrgan & Com
l>any dominated the show and gave us John W. Davis
as a candidate. In 1928 Raskob and his gang of
Demoeratless radicals dominated and gave us dese
cration. In prior years we had James M. Cox, Alton
B. Parker, and some other of that type.
Now, it is doubly good that we are to have a con
vention made up in the most part of real Democrats^
Bailey as a New Dealer
Some politicians say that they were astounded that
fountain retained his vote-getting power in the pri
mary, which is hardly the correct analysis of the con
test. Most people claim that it was not really so
much Fountain's strength that figured in the primary
as it was Bailey's weakness. For it was hard to find
a voter who really relished or cherished Mr. Bailey
as a good New Dealer.
Their Acts Belie the Charge
Koxlioro ( nuritr. ?t- ,
The United States Chamber of Commerce and big
business have lieen declaring from the housetop that
this new deal debt will sink us when pay day comes,
and that Uncle Sam is headed for bankruptcy. Yet,
when he offers another batch of leinds the same big
business rushes in to get a share of the bonds. Now,
il they really thought the country was headed for
bankruptcy do you think they would be breaking
their necks to get bonds issued by a bankrupt nation?
Hardly.
While it is admitted by all that possibly the Gov
ernment has been spending money too freely, all this
talk about bankruptcy is purely for political effect,
and the country is safe and sound, and is a long ways
from the rocks, as evidenced by the sale of its bonds.
When you begin to talk about extravagance remem
lier for what most of this money has been spent, and
think about the millions who would have suffered,
yea, jxissibly have starved, but for the assistance of
the Government, and you will, if you have a heart,
commend the expenditure. And further, all of the
money spent was not in the natur of a gift, but was
a loan, millions to railroads, banks and private in
dividuals, most of which will eventually be paid back.
Yes, truly the New Deaf has been a godsend to this
country, and the people are grateful for what it has
done, as evidenced by the fact that the chances are
largely in favor of four years more of the same deal.
Another Contrast
Sampson Independent.
A majority of |>arents of moderate incomes find it
a struggle to support and educate their children, but
we read of one case where a child finds it a struggle
tc s|iend the $70,000 a year which she is supposed to
s|iend. Gloria Yanderbilt. 12 years old, was left an
estate of $4,000,000, with a |>rovision that she is to
sjiend $70,000 annually for living expenses. In one
. sense, that s-otneff good and looks good, but lot of
less fortunate children, financially, is more to be de
sired than that of Gloria. Already there has been a
bitter legal tilt between Gloria's mother and her aunt
as to the custody of the child. And chances are that
is just a beginner. We doubt that Gloria, with all
her financial inheritance, will get as much pleasure
out of life as those children whose parents have to
struggle and sacrifice in order to provide for them
the necessities of life.
