Republican "Boy" Grows Up
Tom Dewey may have been just a boy when
the Republican party chose him as its standard
bearer but he has developed into a man rapidly
during the past two months. As a matter of fact
he has become quite mature in the past two weeks
of his tour of a goodly portion of the country and
gives promise of attaining a. ripe old age politi
cally ere the campaign comes to a close on Nov
ember 6. It is believable that the New Deal high
command recognizes this fact and that they may
be wondering just where the "boy" will gouge
them next, for gouge he will. He assured the
commander-in-chief and all his cohorts that very
thing in his speech Monday evening from Ok
lahoma City.
Dewey has demonstrated that he is fearless.
He first assures himself that he is right and then
pulls no punches. It is a characteristic that was
dominant throughout his career as a prosecutor,
has helped make him one of New York state's
greatest governors and is now pushing him to the
front in the presidential race. He is too cagey to
be caught in a tricky New Deal trap and makes
no statements on hearsay. His supporters are
strong in the belief that he gave the president one
of the worst setbacks he has met with in his ca
reer as the New Deal chieftain, for he answered
Mister Roosevelt's charges of falsifying, etc., with
that gentleman's own words or with those of Sen
ator Truman, Senator Barkley and Boss Kelly.
The Rebuplican nominee has stated in his
swing around the country that he is at this time
submitting the program he expects to follow in
the weeks to come, that he will discuss the issues
one by one in succeeding speeches. If he touches
the sore spots in his discussion of the real issues
in proportion to his introductory talks, the presi
dent will have to get down to serious thinking and
leave the entertainment field to those engaged in
the show business.
Strengthen Bank Capital
The voters will be called upon at the coming
election to vote upon certain amendments to the
state constitution. Now is the time to read over and
digest the purposes of these amendments so that
you may .vote intelligently on election day. Too
many voters fail to previously give attention and
thought to these measures, and when election day
comes, they are inclined either to ignore them or,
if they vote at all, decide to let well enough alone
and vote. "No." This sort of "No" vote is not an
intelligent expression of the people and has been
responsible for the defeat of several worthy
measures in former elections. We submit that, if
one does not understand a proposition, it is wrong
to vote upon it.
There are several good reasons for supporting
the amendment that would eliminate double liabil
ity on state bank stock. The principal one, to our
mind, is that nine years ago Congress removed
the double liability clause affecting stockholders
in national banks. It is unfair to our state banks
to have the double liability clause stand against -them.
Our state banks must be kept on the same
footing with national banks.
The 1943 state legislature realized that such a
situation was unfair and, by a large majority of
members of all political faiths, proposed the above
amendment.
Furthermore, with both state and national bank
depositors now protected by the Federal Deposit
Insurance law, the double liability feature is no
longer necessary. Removal of this clause would
tend to encourage investment in bank stock en
abling increased capital and thereby add to the
strength of our present financial institutions.
Every voter is safe in voting "For" this
amendment.

Give the Scouts a Lift
There will be an opportunity for citizens of the
county to act the role of Boy Scouts Saturday by
doing one big good turn. The Scouts will be out
at 9 a. m. gathering up waste paper to help win
the war. Older folks can help the Scouts help win
the war by having their bundles and cartons of
waste paper neatly bound and tied and placed in
a convenient spot for the boys to pick up. Stack
your contribution on the outer edge of the front
walk. The boys will have many parcels to handle
. and not all of them are big husky football players.
It is hoped to get the job cleaned up in a few
hours. It must be delivered at Stanfield by Sun
day and any material missed at this time will have
to be held over until the next drive,
mind that the paper shortage has reached an acute
Let it further be impressed upon the public
stage, particularly the packapin? variety, A vast
amount of this type of paper and cartons is used
in the armed services and none of it is redeem
able. It is up to the home folks to save paper as
it has never before been saved if supplies are to
keep finding their way to the front, with the
minimum usage, of paper products here at home.

Planting trees on burned-over land costs forest
owners from $6 to $12 per acre. Planting the
people who start forest fires might be cheaper in
the long run. Exchange.

An unusual number of service men are home
on leave and furlough this week. If the boys were
wearing "civvies" we could sing "Happy Days
Are Here Again."

PETERSON'S
I'm the guy who looked at you from a U.S.O. poster
some time ago. I'm the guy for whom you and millions
of others gave and gave so generously. I'd like to tell
you what was done with your money.
The money you gave last year helped give the boys
the tonic of entertainment ... a personal appearance by
Jack Benny in Africa ... by Gary Cooper in the South
Seas . . . and by lovely women stars in remote places
where just the sight of a feminine face is enough to make
up for weeks and months of loneliness and isolation.
Your dollars made possible the U.S.O. in addition to
many other great services at home and abroad 3,000
U.S.O. clubs and U.S.O. Camp Shows.
The job is bigger this year . . . much bigger. Won't you
be bigger than ever this year, too, and give generously?.
