HASTY’ DEFENSE OF WINDY’S ACCUSATIONS
RESULTS IN EMBARRASSMENT FOR PRESS!
Just how silly a large proportion of the American
press can make itself appear was amusingly illustrated
recently when Candidate Wendell Willkie made his
famous accusation that President Roosevelt had held
telephone conversations with Hitler and Mussolini
prior to the Munich pact and had “sold Czechoslovakia
down the river.”
The loyal republican press hastened to qualify the
accusation and justify Windy Wendell’s contention
and, just when they were editorializing themselves into
believing such trash, along came Willkie’s press agent
with a retraction. Wendell had “misread” his speech
and meant to say something quite different, claimed
the lame apology.
Which left many of the “great” dailies of the na­
tion—and even the pompous Medford switch-hitter—
out on the limb where publications often hang them­
selves !

the
by practically every taxpayer in the community. The
announcement gained important notice over the entire
state.
Of the $20,000 estimated expenditure, the school
district will put up about $8000, with about $12,000 to
be contributed by the federal government through the
• Works Progress administration. Work on the develop­
ment is expected to get under way within a few weeks
and will give the Ashland school system an athletic
plant second to none in southern Oregon or northern
California.
Such a complete and far-seeing program probably
could not or would not have been outlined, however, if
it had not been for the generous assistance promised by
the WPA, one of the chief money-spending agencies
of the new deal. But despite constant political criticism,
the administration carries on its program of helping to
erect permanent and useful monuments to education,
industry and progress. Already Ashland has gained a
sewage disposal plant, many street and water depart­
ment improvements that would not have been possible
without the hated governmental spending, about which
we hear so much lately.
Of course there should be no partisanship as con­
cerns the high school athletic field, which certainly
will prove to be a worthy investment of school district
and federal money, but it is ironic to note the preval­
ence of Willkie buttons among those who so willingly
accept assistance from Washington.

SOMETHING NEW TO NEWSPAPERDOM—AN
“AD” THAT SELLS NATIONAL CONFIDENCE!
Although every newspaper is glad to accept paid
advertising, little of it inspires enthusiasm other than
for financial consideration. In today’s issue of The
Miner—and on this page—appears an ad by the Pacific
Coast Petroleum Industry entitled “How to Avoid
War” which certainly deserves editorial endorsement.
We suggest that all readers make it a point to read
this advertisement, for it contains a reassuring mes­
sage that is pertinent to national defense and one
which begets patriotic confidence. You’ll be glad you
read it!

ROWDY TALK BEGETS ROWDY BEHAVIOR!
Although the booing, pelting and rotten egging
Wendell Willkie received while in Michigan this week
was regrettable and to be censored by members of both
political parties, it was not surprising.
Rowdy behavior is inspired by rowdy oratory, and
certainly the republican nominee, from his famous “to
hell with Chicago” crack on, has been guilty of strong
and inciting talk. His accusations and criticisms of the
President have not been consistent with the high posi­
tion the country’s first citizen holds. You just can’t go
around throwing slurs, at the man whom the great­
est majority of people in our history twice have en­
dorsed. It makes too many folks mad, and he who
throws mud exposes himself to vegetables.
Willkie has promised to help the farmer dispose of
surpluses and if he doesn’t treat the people’s choice
with more respect, he’s likely to accomplish that with­
out going to the White House.
