Santa Claus in Chicago I ¡ ~~ - It was probably surprising to no one — the ap proach that most of the first speakers at the Democrat ic show in Chicago took to the coming campaign. Someone once said th at you can’t beat Santa Claus in a popularity contest, and that is about what the gen eral election this autumn will be. As popular as General Eisenhower is with the American people, even he may have a hard time whipping the political facsimile of the old gentleman with whiskers. The value of the American dollar in 1952 aside for the moment, one cannot deny that the Democrats in re cent years have had more dollars circulating more rap idly than any administration in history. And unfortun ately, too many people, when they consider their econ omic well-being, consider simply the number of dollars that pass through their hands. Not all of us are economists. When the Democrats tell us that we are better off because we have more money in our hands momentarily on pay day than we had 20 years ago, then we accept that fact. What most of us have, of course, is more in quan tity, less in quality. Few will deny the Democrats claim th at fewer people are unemployed than in 1932; that more people are eating better today than yesterday. What the Dem ocrats cannot promise — and what too few of us ques tion — is economic stability in the future. What we have a difficult time becoming concerned about is din ner tomorrow and day after tomorrow, as long as we are eating well today. Somehow, the Republicans must make the voters of this country face the future. Somehow, the voters must see that our inflationary spiral means economic collapse eventually, if it is not checked. In other words, we cannot fight the fight and win with the present as our only concern. We must make the future real to everyone. A difficult task, certainly, but one th at must be performed. We must realize that our political Santa Claus, so genially passing out bountiful gifts today, is billing us double for everything he hands out. and th at tomorrow the debt must be paid.

The Missus and I were invited to dinner over at Batesville the other night. I sat next to a banker from the state capital. “Mighty nice country you’ve got down there,” he says. “Don’t be surprised if I come to live there myself. In a few years I plan to get away from everybody, buy a farm and just take it easy.” “Well,” I told him, “we'd like to have you. But when someone plans to buy a farm and ‘take it easy’ he often winds up working harder than ever. It takes work to run a farm right no matter how many hands you ean afford to hire. “And from where I sit," I __ tinued, “you won’t ‘get ■way’ from people either. Neighbors are plenty important iu a fanning community —whether it’s helping one another out or just friendly visiting over a sociable glass of beer.” “Hard work and neighbors dropping in all the tim e?” he asks, looking at me over his glasses. Then he smiles and «ays. “Sounds wonderful.
