son and President Roosevelt were better strat
egists than any of their military advisers. So far
has hero worship led the ex-Secretary of the
Navy.
It is time that this silly commander-in-Chief
business was stopped. It may or may not be
true that Mr. Roosevelt is a profound student of
military affairs. As assistant Secretary of the
Navy under Josephus Daniels, he certainly did
learn much in this field. Mr. Roosevelt has a
keen, inquiring mind, and there is no doubt that
he grasps the military situation well. But to go
on talking as if he were such an indispensable
military genius that the war would be lost
without him is sheer nonsense. It is true that
the final decisions cannot be made without his
approval, but that does not mean that they
are fundamentally his decisions.
And, as for the argument that we cannot
change chief executives in the midst of the war,
this too is nonsense. Nothing has so weakened
our democracy during the past decade as the
insistence of the fanatical Roosevelt democrats
that there is only one man who can "save" the
country. Who, it is time to ask, is going to save
us from this savior? If there is but one man
good enough for this job. we have ceased to be
a democracv. Nothing could so convince the

Rocking The Boat
In Wartime
Never before in the history of the
United States Supreme Court has
it been freely and scathingly criticized
ty lawyers, judges, editors and in
dividuals as since its recent four
to three decision holding that insur
ance is "interstate commerce," there
by upsetting precedents of 75 years'
standing which held the regulation
of insurance was the function of
the various states, and nit the Fed
eral government. From now on,
there is ony one way any business in
the United States can be saved from
being declared "interstate commerce"
by the "ingenious vocabularies" (as
David Lawrence calls them) of a few
Supreme Court Justices, and that is
by Congress granting specific exemptions.

, WASHINGTON, Sept. 20 Tr.e fact
j ib.a' any voter, man or 'woman, is
e.ther a Democrat or a Republican,
I is no reason why they si.oald close
' their ears and tr.inds to the political
i iscussians and debates of these pre
1 election weeks. President Roose
1 vel! is a Fourth Term candidate and
I in that capacity he is the choice of
I the Democratic party opposed by the
1 Republicans who charge that the
I Democrats and their Xew Deal have
' become a "tired, exhausted, quarrel
ing and bickering Administration
: which has lost faith in itself and in
the American people."
The Democratic and Republican
parties have been see-sawing back
and forth in political victories and
control since the time of Lincoln--and
the voters are being asked to
meet new conditions in our life this
coming November.
Senator Truman threw out the
first ball for President Roosevelt and
advanced the theory that he should
be re-elected because he is the most
"experienced" man on foreign af
fairs in the World.
Republican leaders promptly re
plied that the war will soon be over
and that the great questions for the
next four years will be right here
at home with reconstruction, re
conversion, reorganization, recovery
arm jobs for every man and woman
-who wants to work. We are all
familiar with the record of Demo
cratic administration under Mr.
Roosevelt. It is the duty of all to
listen to the critics who are back
ing the candidacy of Mr. Dewey. They
have equal rights to state their cause
between now and the November elec-

of repression and unemployment had

"with all its' tragic toll of death, debt
and destruction," he declare! Then
he recalled the statement of General
Her.-hey after the war" we can keep
people in the Army aoout as cneap

of that stuff is accepted by Dewey
He proposes to turn the men in the
military service loose, and put them
in their proper places in life. He
declared that a million new homes

years. He asserted that we cannot
keep our freedom and continue ex
perimentation with new policies every
day by the national government.
Mother Shipton prophesied eighty
years ago that "around the World
thoughts shall fly, in the twinkling
of an eye," which was a radio fore
cast, before it become a supplemen
tary instrument of "the papers."
But why not follow the advice of
wisest of men. Will Rogers, who of

The centralization of government
tn Washington has grown to such an
extent that Federal agencies now
brazenly reach out to limit more and
more the rights of the various states
to regulate business within their
boundaries.
Following an attack by the De
partment of Justice, fire Insurance
has now been held to be interstate
commerce and subject to Federal
regulation under the anti-trust laws.
It has heretofore been regulated by
each of the 48 states, in accordance
with the laws and conditions applicate
to eact state.
Justice Jackson, in criticizing this
new interpretation said: "I have little
doubt that if the present trend con
tinues. Federal regulation will event
ually supersede that of the states."
The insurance industry is in utter
Confusion. State regulatory agencies
do not know where they stand. To
remedy the situation, the House of
Representatives in Congress, by a vote
of almost 6 to 1, approved a bill that
not only renders inapplicable the
Federal anti-trust laws to insurance,
but clearly indicates that as a policy,
' the House favors preservation of state
regulation wholly free of Federal
interference. The bill will now have
to go before the Senate.
That Justice Jackson's fears are
well justified, is sho-wn by the latest
move of the anti-trust division of the
Department of Justice which plans
to attack the railroads unier the
anti-trust laws. The procedures
which the department claims are
violations of the Sherman anti-trust
act, for the rrost part have been in
effect for many years. Some of them
are necessary in order to comply
with the provisions of the Interstate
Commerce Act.
Virtually every important act of
a railroad is already subject to the
approva.' of the Interstate Com-
. merce Commission and regulatory
-emissions of the various states.
But centralized government is reach
ing out for more authority which
t verT turn limits or destroys
state and individual rights. Never
before did the preservation of in
dividual and states' rights depend so
comp'etely on the prj'.ecuon oi on
