"GOING TO SQUEEZE"
ROOSEVELT'S JUNE TOUR
The political situation, on the
Democratic side, finds the Presided
, practically assured of a renomination
if he will accept it from the conten
tion in Chicago. Meanwhile, James
A. Farley and Paul V. McNutt con
tinue to make speeches, which are
generally accepted as placing them in
the running if the President decides
not to seek a third term. Cordell
Hull, making no speeches and declar
ing himself not a candidate, is also
considered as a possibility if the
President retires. The campaign of
Vice-President Garner is '-making lit
tle or no progress, although it is
possible, if the President runs, that
the 1 Ve-Presjdent will be the other
man ' he ticket again.
In 'tue ttepublican ring of the poli
tical circus, the figure1- -Thomas E.
Dewey looms larger than it did a
few weeks ago. This does not mean
that the New Yorker has the nomina
tion in the bag, although he has made
substantial gains through the revela
tion of strength in recent primaries.
Senators Taft and Vandenberg are
not out of the running. The former
is credited with considerable conven
tion strength, which, after all,' is
what determines the nominee. About
all that one can say of the Wendell
Willkie, Frank Gannett and other
booms at this time is that they are
interesting but the group is put of
the running unless there is a dead
lock between other contenders and
the convention turns to a dark horse
for the solution of the problem.
- Last week it seemed likely that
the Special Senate campaign expendi
tures investigating committee would
make some kind of an inquiry into
the charges that Dewey supporters in
Wisconsin and Nebraska indulged in
excessive expenditures. Nothing of
ficial was announced but the inquiry
is regarded as certain in view of
complaints that are being circulated.
The Dewey people deny that undue
expenditures were made. Opponents
are watching the matter closely, fig
uring that possibly the revelation of
excessive expenditures, if they were
made, might have the same effect on
the Dewey candidacy that the 1920
revelations had on the prospects of
General Wood and Governor Louwon.
The status of the political "cam
paign thus far continues to be uncer
tain with neither party knowing
what the main issue will be until
President Roosevelt makes known his
position. This naturally handicaps
the candidates and politicians. Ap
parently, the nation will have to wait
until the Democrats meet in Chicago
to learn what the president will do.
Until that time, Republican candi
dates can hardly develop "full
power" in their campaign for the
presidency. To devote much atten

tion to the third term issue, or in
assailing the President's policy,
might represent a waste of time and
energy if Mr. Roosevelt retires. Con
sequently, the prospect is that the
political battle this year will not be
gin, in earnest until after the Demo
crats conclude their labor in Chicago.
While public attention in this coun
try is focused upon the war in Eu
rope, the Senate Committee on Naval
Affairs got a pessimistic report on
the Far East from Rear Admiral J.
.K. Taussig, who' testified- in support
of the naval expansion bill. While
the Navy Department promptly dis
claimed responsibility for his com
ments and made it clear that his
testimony was "contrary to the Navy
Department's views," the Admiral
bluntly expressed his inability to see
how we can prevent being drawn in
to war on account of the Far Eastern
situation.
For 150 years, he said, the United
States has taken part in the trade
and development of that region.
Now our interests are threatened
with summary expulsion by virtue
of the Japanese program which has
but one objective, world domination.
Making no effort to conceal his view
that Japan was a potential enemy,
the Admiral proposed that the United
States construct "an impregnable"
naval base in the Philippines, end
agree with the Allies and Holland
to maintain the present status in the
Pacific.
Asked whether he aimed to protect
the United States or its interests in
the Orient, the Admiral said that he
was primarily protecting interests in
the Far East but "if Germany wins
the war, it would be for the protec
tion of our people at home." With
Japan having a "stronghold" on the
islands of the Pacific, the next move
would be eastward and in Admiral
Taussig's opinion, "If Germany wins
the war, there is going to be a com
bination between the totalitarian
powers that's going to squeeze us."
To those who believe that Japan
will bankrupt herself in carrying on
the war in China and exhaust her re
sources in a fruitless effort to con
quer the Chinese, Admiral Taussig
points out that the Japanese have
been fighting for three years without
cracking up and that Germany,
bankrupt fifteen years ago, has
mobilized an army and war machine
that gives the world the jitters.
Facing these factors, he thinks that
it is impossible for the United States
to remain isolated, saying, "The
world has shrunk too much."
President Roosevelt has announced
tentative plans for a "non-political"
tour in June which will take him into
virtually every section of the nation
While the journey is conditioned
upon the state of affairs in Europe
as well as the adjournment of Con
gress, the Chief Executive expects to
dedicate the Great Smoky Mountains
National Park in North Carolina
and Tennessee early in June, go to
Mississippi to dedicate the Natchez
Trace, the old trail from' Natchez to
Nashville, and then visit his son,

Afterwards he would go to Califor
nia to dedicate King's Canyon, new
est of the National Parks, visit the
Golden Gate Exposition at San Fran
cisco and then dedicate the Olympic
National Park in the State of Wash
ington. Boarding a warship, the
President would continue his trip by
way of the inside passage to Juneau,
Alaska.
The trans-continental trip, first
projected last summer, was delayed
by the beginning of the European
War. Political observers noted that
the return journey would probably
take the President through the Mid
dle Western States, where his farm
and trade agreement programs have
been , under attack by .Republican
campaigners. They ' see his trip as
an opportunity to test his popularity
with the masses and recalled that
previous journeys of this kind have
been used to sound out sentiment to
wards himself and the Administration.

Horton Heard Here;
Wants Rural N.C. To
'Bio
Lieutenant Governor Is
Heard On Saturday
Night at Court House
By Big Audience
"It is very necessary that the hu
man element and human considera
tions animate our -whole program of
public service in North Carolina,"
Lieutenant Governor Wilkins P. Hor
ton, of Pittsboro, said last Saturday
night in a speech supporting his
candidacy for the Democratic nomi
nation for Governor.
So, Hertford heard Horton Satur
day night, introduced by his loyal
campaign manager, Charles Johnson.
A good au'ence was on hand., the
presence 'of rival gubernatorial cam
paign managers swelling the crowd
considerably.
"I have no fantastic promises to
make and no drastic changes in our
Government to propose," Mr. Horton
began. From there on he simply
favored more and better education,
more and better insane asylums,
more and better institutions for the
blind, and. more and better roads
without impairment of the sound fi
nancial structure of the State."
Mr. Horton was definitely against
the diversion of State Highway
funds. For the advancement of
North Carolina he stood against the
diversion to the general fund in favor
of a system of roads that will bring
the country closer to town and the
town closer to the country. The
courtroom resounded to a smattering
of applause as the Lieutenant Gover
nor said in a ringing voice, "Let's
make rural North Carolina bloom
like a rose."
But back to the human element,
attention was called to the candi
dates' activity in securing enactment
of the law creating the State Com
mission for the Blind, "an agency
which is doing splendid work to help
blind persons throughout the State to
achieve economic security."
The speaker also referred to his
active support in the General As
sembly of the State's Social Security
legislation, "the beneficiaries of

which include the dependent child, the
blind, the aged and the infirm." He
spoke approvingly of "the various
phases of our humanitarian objec
tives." "Public health service in the State
must be expanded in so far as re
venues will permit," said Mr. Horton.
"State institutions for the unfortu
nate are inadequate to meet the de
mands of the people, and the prob
lems thus created must be relieved,'
he continued.
At the same time the speaker
maintained that "economy of govern
ment" must be practiced in North
Carolina. "Every effort must be
made to obtain maximum service at
minimum cost," he said.
"I have constantly striven," said
Mr. Horton, "to advance our entire
public service program, inclusive a
mong other things, of education
public health, highways, conserva
tion of wild life and other natural
resources, commerce and industry
agriculture and our various humani I
tarian objectives."
"The State's program can be con
tinued, with imperfections eliminated
without impairment of the sound fi
nancial structure of the State," he
'declared.
Housecleaning Hints
Given By Home Agent
Spring housecleaning is a duty fac
ing home-makers at this time of the
year, and Miss Ruth Current, State
home demonstration agent of the
Agricultural Extension Service, has
several suggestions to make the job
easier.
In the first place, she says house
cleaning should be organized. Jus
one room at a time and the job well
done is her advice. Then she offers
the following hints:
Window cleaning may be well done
by using paper instead of a cloth.
Choose soft paper that does not lint.
Various cleaning preparations may be
used with either paper or cloth. Clear
water with a few drops of ammonia,
or clear water with about one table
spoon of washing soda dissolved in
the pail make efficient cfleansers. On
very cold days the cloth may be
moistened with alcohol or good kero
sene. Windows should be cleaned
when the sun is not shining on them
directly, as it causes uneven evapor
ation of the cleanser and gives a
streaked surface.
For cleaning of varnisned or oiled
woodwork, the following mixture is

good: One quart of hot water, three
tablespoons of boiled linseed oil, end
one tablespoon of turpentine. Wash
the woodwork with a soft cloth
wrung out in this mixture, kept
warm by setting over hot water. Do
not heat dircetly on the stove be
cause the turpentine is inflammahlA.
Polish the woodwork dry with a sec

becomes soiled and mix a fresh sup
ply. Give upholstered furniture a good
sun bath at least twice a year. Thia
will prevent moths, especially if the
upholstery is kept free of dust by
frequent brushing.

Since then I haven't felt the same.
She always seemed so plump and

I saw her in a bathing suit.
Returning from a din to boot
And then the disillusion came!

Since then I haven't felt the same.

Reliefer Has Fine Spin!,
Declares Blades
ST. LOUIS (NNS) Ray Blade,
manager of the St. Louis Cardi
nals, feels that it is impossible te
estimate the value of Clyde Shoum
to the team by the records.
"Averages don't mean a thing,
said Blades in speaking of hie
pitcher. "Shoun can go through th
season without a victory, bat heU
still be highly important to thte
club. He gives everything he kae
on every pitch, has a rubber ana
and as good a heart as you ever
saw in a ball game.
"I feel a bit timid about asking
man to relieve on successive days,
but Shoun dares me to send him to
the bull pen. He doesn't care if he
worked yesterday and in the first
game of a doubleheader today. If
danger threatens he gets a ball and
wants to go to the bull pen. That's
the spirit that wins ball games and
pennants and Shoun has plenty of
it"
