In which a Democratic editor cheers the home team. Now listen to this: "The fact is many delegates have gone home, not because they were angry, but because the show has been rather dull and there Is nothing much for them to do. Everybody gets very tired of conventions after the sec ond day." This well known newspaper com mentator (a political non-purtlsau) was watching the same show. Odd, Isn't It? ' United States District Judge Leon Yankwich of Los Angeles, ac cording to a recent Associated Tress dispatch, said he did not ex pect to apply for his soldier bonus. "1 have never felt that the nation owed me anything for my war serv ice," he added. Tho esteemed judge probably writhes with mortification, every time he is forced to take the salary for his present services. , ... Governors of South Carolina seem to have the faculty of making happy remarks. Of course we all know what one ot them said to the Uov. of North Carolina, many years ago; now the present No. 1 man, while delivering a seconding speech at the Philadelphia convention, do- clares that "President Roosevelt has made the country what it Is today." That may or may not be a happy remark to make; but i t least it Is a safe one. Republicans and Demo crats alike can gladly subscribe to Its truth. uMMtk Another dispatch speaks of H. W..Ford, Mize, Mississippi, drug gist who recently received (142, 625 In ' British government bonds through the mail, as a pillar of the uuptist church. This calling druggist a pillar Is going entirely too tar. . A Democratic friend of mine was In the office the other day, com plaining about the Republican platform. "I'm satisfied it doesn't mean a word it Bays," he told me. "If the Itep. nominee were elected this fall I'll bet he wouldn't pay a bit of attention to it, but do just as ne pleased. Now where do you suppose he got mat idea: U. S. POLITICAL OBSERVATIONS By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associat ed Press, Washington.) To all intents and purposes, the machinery of the parties now has been set up for tho 1936 campaign; but what ubotit the Issues? Certainly the op ening exchanges between the re publican aud iemoeratle organ izations have left imuch to tho im 'agination. 1 he republican keynote is a bit iter condemnation of Mr. Roosevelt and his works, uul the demo- bvron pice iratlc Keynoic is a paean of praUo for Mr. Roose velt, plus a shower of disparaging remarks ubotit Mr. Landon. The Cleveland's convention's rhythmic complaint about "Three Long Years" is uuswered by a song of mockery ugaiu&t tho re publican candidate and managers, engineered by thoe in .charge of the convention nt Philadelphia. Name-culling reaches a new high, the sincerity and even the morality of each side is challenged by the other, and the questions of public policy which might be ex pected to receive first utteulion are left backstage. First Utterances On June 13. as the republican delegates were truveling homeward from Cleveland, Democratic Na tional Chairman Fur ley led off the democratic attack. He placed a very low estimate on Mr. Itundnn's background aud experience, and charuct.riited his nomination a "a ronfc-nalon of guilt on the part of the republican party "I wonder how the republican leaders keep from laughing out loud." suid Mr. Farley. "i.t the gi gautic hoax they are loing to put or on the countr;-. Twenty-four houis later. Repub lican National Chairman Hamilton replied, lie charged , Mr. rarley wllh a tendenry "to misrepresent everything which is too honest for him to understand, " uud said this of the president "Mr. Roosevelt was so eager for the Duminntlon at any price (in 193?) that he flew to Chicago to accept the pluttonn leu per cent Bailie Devotions DR. CHARLES A EDWARDS Worship is a tonic for one's Bplrit. It brings hope and Joy and courage Into one's soul. That it will do all that, many a man has proven. And what it has done tor others it will do tor you. Worship Is as much an art of listening as it is of speak ing or singing. Worship 1b more than a monologue. We must learn to be quiet before God: let that still, small voice speak to us. How readily we enter the place of worship, expecting to enter into real conversation with God. Teach us, Dear Fath er, the art of fellowship with Thee. May we say, "Lord, speak tor Thy servant heareth." Amen. never glanced at it again." What Next? Does all of this mean that the campaign is to be fought, after all, on charges of deception, dishon esty, conspiracy and fraud, reach ing Its climax later on, perhaps, in talk of burglary and horsestealing? Instead of the epochal struggle over principles expected In so many quarters is the buttle to re semble a sort of double-action grand jury proceeding, with the participants on both sides selecting their choicest verbal ammunition from the lexicon of criminology? Convention time very often is a time of irrational thought and in temperate speech. Many times in the past political managers have pitched their utterances on a level never touched by the candidates themselves, it may be so again. At least the country will wait wonderingly and anxiously to see. MEASURE VETOED WASHINGTON, June 26. (AP) A bill which would have made approximately 2,500 former provi sional officers ot the army, navy and marine corps eligible for the World war bonus was killed by President Roosevelt. Ho commented that he had voto ed all adjusted compensation meas ures brought to him and that it would not have been consistent for him to approve this one. He referred apparently to the fact that he had twice vetoed pre-payment of the bonus. The measure killed today Bought to amend the adjusted compensa tion act to add to the beneficiaries "any provisional, probationary, or temporary officer of the military or naval forces under the grade of major or lieutenant commander, who was honorably separated from the military or naval service prior to January 1, 1922." The cost had been estimated at approximately $4,000,000. Base Acreage Bill Signed. President Roosevelt signed a bill to give the secretary of agricul ture ' final and conclusive" power to determine the correct base acre age and production figures for the adjustment ot old AAA contracts. A senate report on the measure said enactment would "release for payment from 40,000 to 50,000 cases which under the interpretation of the general accounting office could not be certified for payment. These cases Include approximately 30, 000 wheat contracts." "The equities In these cases are clear and it has been administra tively determined that the United States government Is morally obit gated to make these payments," the report added. PREHISTORIC CITY F( LVXCH. Neb.. Juno 29. (AP) Dr. Karl H. Roll, University of Ne braska anthropologist, said today ho and eight students had un earthed near Lynch what probably was tho largest prehistoric city iu North America. The primitive settlement, describ ed by Dr. Hell as "one of the niOHt sensational sites ever found in this country," was loealed beneath the sands of an ancient desert. The' anthropologist said the discovery indicated a mid western ugricul t tira I civilization flourished "pos sibly 4.000 years ago." The first excavations indicated the city was three miles long and a half mile wide, and lame sections evidently were Inhabited densely. Remains uncovered included car bonized ears of corn, large and small beans, and squash. There also are pieces of iwlteiy largo enough to hold half a bushel of produce. Dr. Uell suid a type of house hitherto unknown also was found. He beliecd it a forerunner of the subterranean -houses common to later Nebraska civilizations. The scientist attributed the large sfxe of the city to Its "ideal loca tion for an early elviliration," amidst bluffs above Ponca creek. Tho nearby lowland was irrigated naturally by springs, the highland to the north was a rich bunting ground, he said. There are two distinct layers of soil : Five feet of sand on top believed blown tn from the west during centuries of desert cli mate. Lower, there Is a black colored soil, packed hard, ho said. Dr. Hell's expedition Is the first to enter tho northeast Niobrara valley. NOTICE Notice to all Eagle member! havlug lustiutueuts return to J. M. iSpamake or Keteey Hobday One Word Led To Another Bug Baer (Cooyrifcht, 1936. King Features Syndicate, inc.) No More Burlesque Massachusetts judge says that burlesque is not acting. And bo is aa right as feathers ou a roost But there was a time when burlesque was pretty good theatre. All the good come dians graduated there. And the public is still paying to see the old gags of burlesque. Ziegfeld, White aud Carroll de pended ou the old school of bur lesque for their comedy sketches. They still bob up in the tuikiea under different names. On the marquees of the big theatres they may be billed as Flaming Love, Millions of Kisses, College Honeymoon and other incandescent epi thets. But the old time burles que expert recognizes them as Buzzing the Bee, Hatchet in the Head end Nailing the Car pet Down. We know one writer who went to Hollywood with a truuk load of old exhausted and evaporated bur lesque plots. He Is still out there. He just made himself a couple of million dollars in ten years by re vamping the burlesque sketches for the talkies. He finally ran out of ancient and bewhiskered gags. Just when it looked like his career was over he took a trip to Eu rope with his old trunk. Cus toms inspectors discovered the trunk had a false bottom. In that secret receptacle were a couple more hundred hidden bur lesque sketches. He is still tho best writer in Hollywood. And will be as long as ho is able to look into the trunk. When the Massachusetts judge said that burlesque was not acting he was right. But twenty-five years ago he would have been wrong. There is a time and place for every thing. But there is neither time nor place for the stuff they call modern burlesque, which consists of strip danc ers doing tease numbers. The younger generation 1ms no idea of the origin of material. Thi fellow with the trunk full of bun ' lesque gags Is in no danger of any thing but having the lid of the trunk fall on bim. There was a time when bur lesque was acting. Those were the day of the stars when burlesque was the school for names too Important to men tion. But the Massachusetts judge is right about burlesque in 1936. Its altitude record consists of stinking to the high heavens. Its only criti cism is formaldehyde. The Massachusetts judgo was wrong in chirping about the leal rights of burlesque. He should have dropped his law books and reached for his flit gun.
