Poverty will be kicked where it will
do the most good before the snow
. flies. Housewives of the nation have
been directed to can gooseberries for
the poor, and one helping of canned
gooseberries (unsugared) will make
the poor forget their poverty. A three
day diet of canned gooseberries would
foment a revolution that would
ahame Russia, and nobody with a
trace of human sympathy would
blame the -revolutionists. Cains the
gooseberry as a means to eroollah
hunger and want, is on a par with
the 19S1 proposal to have the Boy
Boouts cook prunes for the needy.
When all the other surplus food crops
of the earth have been devoured, It
will be time to start steps to prevent
the surplus gooseberry crop from rot
ting on the bush.

"PHE more we nee, and hear of Speaker Garner the les we
think of him. His first commendable act, since he was
bitten by the presidential bee, was recorded yesterday, when
be agreed to withdraw his absurd contribution to the federal
relief bill, in accordance with President Hoover's veto message.
TPIIe explanation appears to be that Garner couldn't stand
prosperity. Like many before him, the sudden vision of
occupying the White House turned his head. From the moment
the Hearst papers selected him their favorite, and "Crown
Prince" MeAdoo came out in his behalf, "hard bitten1' Texas
Jack" became a changed man.
To the importunities of his backers to "DO SOMETHING"
and step into the national limelight, he promptly turned the
speaker's desk into a political rostrum and proceeded to flay
the president for extending federal aid toward the apprehension
of the slayers of the Lindbergh baby. Naturally he got nowhere.
Such an exhibition of poor taste and picayune partisanship
failed even to get the support of his own followers.'
o a e
QOMEWHAT disgruntled, but still determined to make a
k-' showing, Speaker Garner proceeded to throw his own un
employment relief bill into the legislative hopper. With prodigal
hand he distributed new post offices and superfluous federal
buildings, throughout the rural districts of the country, all in
all the most odoriferous conglomeration of political pork, of
fered in congress since the Grant administration.
Again Speaker Garner couldn't even get his party support,
and thanks to the quick action of his political advisors alone,
the bill was withdrawn to save the Texas "Andrew Jackson"
from further humiliation.
Searching around for another
a provision in the federal relief
appeal to "the voters." Throwing discretion, and every consider
ation of sound finance to the winds, he proposed to open the
treasury of the United States to every voter in the land,
legalize loans to anyone desiring same regardless of their need
or their ability to pay.
This was the provision, President Hoover so properly con
demned, and which Speaker Garner finally agreed to withdraw.
' '
THREE ATTEMPTS TO MAKE A SHOWING AND EVERY
ONE A COMPLETE FAILURE. Small wonder that as
far as the political stock market is concerned, Garner has suf
fered a deflation, only approached by that of U. S. Steel.
' From a presidential dark horse, he was inflated to a presi
dential "white hope" and then, with no one but himself to
blame, Texas Jack stubbed his toe and everything went
"boom I" From tho rank of rough and ready statesman he fell
to the level of "just another politician" and a cheap one.

Hearst Named Roosevelt
C PEAKING of Garner, in this week's "Time," the inside story
' of the demooratio convention, and the nomination of Roose
velt and Garner, is told.
These two "stalwart Democrats" were NOT, as many people
supposed, the enthusiastie and unanimous "choice of an tincon;
trolled convention. There was nothing spontaneous about their
selection. It was the result of a deal, as much the product of
inside political manipulation, as that nomination of Harding in
a certain Chloago hotel room, twelve years Bgo.
Boss Penrose of Pennsylvania engineered that Blackstone
"eoup"j William Randolph Hearst engineered this one.
e
A CCORDING to Time and this excellent magazine is seldom
mistaken, Roosevelt's nomination was definitely check
mated, and everything was set for the nomination of Newton
Baker, by all odds the best qualified and strongest csndidate
in the party. ,
But at this point William Randolph Hearst and his chain
of papers stepped in. Baker was too much of an international
ist, the thumbs of the millionaire journalist and "maker of
presidents" were turned down. Moreover Baker was a friend
of Al Smith's, and the humiliation of Smith, was Hearst's
PRIMARY DEMAND. . '
CO the adroit and resourceful MeAdoo got busy. The long
k"' distance wires became hot, first to the Pacific seaboard,
then to the Atlantic, Yes, Hearst would support Roosevelt pro
vided his man Garner was given a place on the ticket. Garner
was willing. And Franklin, after, a sleepless night before the
radio, with his dreams of greatness dwindling, would be delight
ed to team up with the Texas "Andrew Jackson" or anyone
else for that matter. What he wanted, regardless of everything,
was the NOMINATION, equivalent he is certain to election. '
So the deal was made, the compaot signed, over went
"Honest" Jack Garner and Texas; loyal William G. MeAdoo
and California, and the deed was done. Everyone was happy
except poor old Al Smith, his brown derby completely battered,
his political future in ashes on the altar of political sacrifice
and personal revenge.
'TWERE was a great deal of talk at the time about the revenge
being MeAdoo 's. FAR from the truth. Al Smith did pre
vent the nomination of MeAdoo at Madison Square eight years
ago, but compared with Hearst and Smith, Al and Mao are, and
always have been, political buddies.
Like the elephant, William Randolph never forgets. He has
never forgotten the beating Al Smith, when Governor of New
York, gave him, the political and moral wounds he received
then have never healed. His entire political strategy since that
feud, has been based upon his determination to got Al and
grind his "big nose in the mud,"
In the early morning hours -f Saturday, July 2nd, that is
precisely what William Randolph did. The victory was his.
The ticket is his.
In the year of our Lord, 1932, William Randolph Hearst, at
last has become what he has so long professed to be.Nhe Demo
cratic Warwick, the man who dictates, through the power of
the yellow press, who shall, and who shall NOT, (it in the

President Hoover has vetoed
the "Wagner-Garner Relief
bill." It goes back for changes
already agreed upon. Many
will learn sorrowfully that one
change' will make it impossible
for the reconstruction finance
corporation to lend to individ
uals. Solly' Wertheim's friend, in
troduced to the president of a
great bank, was told,, "if you
ever want to borrow come in."
The friend, returning soon, was
asked, "how much do you
need?" He whispered into the
bank president's ear, "excuse
me, but how much have you
got?"
If , individual loans were
made, citizens probably would
be ready to borrow more than
Uncle Sam has got.
King Gillette, Inventor of a won
derfully successful razor and razor
blade, died Saturday In Calabasas,
Calif.
He never realized his great dream,
to Incorporate the whole world as one
business corporation, thus curing all
economic Ills. He got this Idea In
1910, and wanted to make Theodore
Roosevelt head of the corporation at
a salary of (260,000 a year.
That sounds big, but Is 'consider
ably less than W. R. Hearst pays to
one of Ills editors, for a smaller Job.
Mr. Olllette's real work, that saved
time and Increased comfort for many,
was his razor. Benjamin Franklin
as Id there was no better present for a
young man' than a- good razor. Mr.
Gillette gave good razors to millions,
old and young.
Gold has long held Its fascination.
The Israelites built their calf of gold,
that they might , worship something
really precious. ' Surope's "Bank for
International Settlements" adopt un
animously a request that all coun
tries return to the gold standard, "aa
the best available monetary mechan
ism." '
We have that standard here, but It
seems to have done little good lately.
You remember that the Israelites
asked Aaron to set up a calf of gold,
when Moses delayed his coming down
from the mountain. The people said:
"s for this Moses, we wot not what
Is become of htm."
Moses, when he' came down, "took
the calf (of gold) and burnt It In
the fire, and ground It to powder,
and strewed It upon the water, and
made the children el Israel drink
of It." The Lord himself was angry,
saying to Moses: "Let me alone, that
my wrath may wax hot against them,
that I may consume them."
Perhaps somebody will come down
from some mountain to show us some
thing better than our calf of gold or
gold standard.
The British empire, all Its mem
bers, will soon hold a pow-wow at
Ottawa. The Idea la to establish free
trade within the empire, as we have
free trade wlthlnln our forty-eight
states. ,
Part of the plan la to buy as little
as possible' outside the empire, a vir
tuous plan.
But Canada will not forget that
thla country has been buying from
eighty to ninety per cent of her
newsprint and wood pulp, ninety per
cent of her exports of fresh fish. We
buy largely from Britain alao, one
third of her linen exports, and
forty-three per cent of her tin.
The British empire has more, than
fifteen hundred millions Invested In
this country, two thirds of It Cana
dian money. This country has five
thousand millions invested In Brit
ish Industries throughout the empire.
That situation calls for wisdom.
Cyrus H. K. Curtle la reported to
have discovered that the ring of forte
around New York City with their big
ooaat defense guru could not be ready
for three months If war came, and to
"New York Is expoeed to attack."
Big guns along the shore would
make no more difference than so
many pop guns. To prepare New
York, or any other coast city, for at
tack, would take as long aa It would
take to build an adequate air fleet,
plus an adequate submarine fleet.
If any American coast city la at
tacked, It will be by airplanes, bomb
ing machines and pursuit planes,
wltii gas tnd explosives, released from
big ahlpa first, later on sent directly
across the ocean. These airplanes
would fly so high over the "coast de

would not even know the airplanes

Here la hta explanation or defini
tion for tuberculosis:
"A continuous spitting up of the
waste products of bacterial decom
position." ,
Flease keep In mind particularly
the charlatan's acknowledgement
that the waste products are of bac
terial origin. In other words, some
thing produced by germs. If your
mind Is capable of retaining that
impression long enough you will en
Joy the sentence that follows. The
charlatan goes on to say:
"The germ Is merely anv acci
dent. The soil must be there
Ilrst. It doesnt' matter whether
a tuberculosis germ Is present, or.
one that produces pus. . . ."
There Is a second tacit and no
doubt Inadvertent admission that
germs have something to do with pus
that germs produce pus.
Stick, around. This fellow is hu
morous. In another paragraph In the same
harangue a direct appeal to pros
pective customers the charlatan
says:
'The tonsils . . . there Is pus In -them
. . . the tonsils are loaded
with pus and other products of,
putrescence. . r ."
Again an unconscious admission
that germs cause putrescence, for the
juggler has already admitted that
germs produce pus, and here he ad
mits pus Is a product of putrescence.
It Is Inescapable therefore, that germs
are concerned in putrefaction when
putrefaction occurs In the tissues.
The charlatan plainly' Implies
without putting the Idea Into honest
words, that the toxins which he
deems It necessary to "throw off"
or "eliminate" In any and all Ill
nesses, are the products of germs, and
that la the nearest he comes to the
truth.
The charlatan betrays his Ignorance
by referring to a ohiropractor thus
"Dr. John Doe, D, C," whereas any

THE OBMOATIONS OF AMEKICAN
CITIZENSHIP
By FRANK MILES,
Editor Iowa Legionnaire, Des Moines.
Webster defines citizenship as "th
state or quality of being a citizen.'
The fourteenth amendment to the
American constitution provides that
all persons born or naturalized m
the United States and subject to
the Jurisdiction thereof, are citizens
of the United States and the states
wherein they reside."
Most civilizations have depended
for well being upon the few who
enslaved and submerged the many
while America, by giving every child
opportunity for education and all
citizens freedom of thought and pur
suits In religion, politics and voca
tions, makes every one a sovereign
In his own right.
But 'be not confused: This does
not mean that America permits each
citizen to be a government unto
himself. To do that would mean
anarchy. Our form of democracy is
maintained by all the people aub-
scrlbing to the wishes of the ma
jority once those wishes become a
government mandate.
A citizen may oppose- the election
of a candidate, a proposed policy,
the enactment of a law or a decla
ration of war, but when the decision
Is rendered by a majority of the
voters or a majority of the voters'
accredited representatives, he must
abide by It. He may, thereafter
disapprove of an official's acts, he
may denounce a policy in eirect,
he may seek repeal of a lew, he
may not approve of an armed con
flict In which the nation Is engaged.
but if he violates the constitution
and the laws In his opposition, he
is nn-Amerlcan.
The true American Knows the cost
of America. He knows that all hu
has In treasure and opportunities
has been purchased by the blood
and sacrifice, the toll and sweat,
the tears and prayers of his loyal
fellow countrymen of all creeds of
both sexes ever since the declara
tion of Independence wns enunciated.
Ing weight. Police Chief William
Keefe put pheasants eggs under Peg

able to keep up with the young

Household Laxative
Take 1 pound of atoned prounes, 1
pound seeded raisins, 10 cents' worth
of senna leaves, grind all together
thoroughly and roll Into balls of
about a teaspoon ful each, and eat
one on going to bed. For many yearn
we have used this in preference to
other laxatives. ( O. P.)
Ans. Is Is perhaps as Innocuous
as any laxative you could use, only
It would be better to use figs Instead
of raisins.
Sulphurous Acid
Do you consider fruits and mo

and wholesome for Infants and chil

Ans. As long as you can get fruits
and molasses without the preservative
added, why feed such stuff to Infant
or ohild?
Expectant Mother
I expect my baby In three months.
Shall I continue with my weekly lo
ci in ration? (Mrs. H. B.)
Ans. As a general rule It Is ad
visable for the expectant mother to

Lesser Amount Where $3
Permit Now Prohibitive
PORTLAND, July 13. (AP) A
proposal to provide special short
term fishing licenses for visitors,
tourists and residents was tentatively
approved by the state fish commis
sion at a meeting here Monday.
The suggestion was offered by
Matt Corrlgan, chairman, who said
the commission is losing much reve
nue because the state legislature has
made no provision for the short
term permits. "Thousands of tour
ists and residents," Corrlgan said,
"who never have a chance to fish
except during their vacation would
be willing to buy a special one-week
license, for Instance, at a reduced
price, but they cannot afford to pay
$3 for a yearly license."
To Urge Legislation.
The commission agreed to recom
mend that the next legislature make
provision for the sale of the special
period licenses. v

choly, fearful that a lapse of virility
would coort him her love.
Once, she said, he urged her to
have an affair with another man.
To thla suggesblon, she said, she
replied:
"No, no. I told him my love for
him waa too great to be Impaired by
any one thing."
Coupled with her revelations of her
brief wedded life was walker's story
of the traglo night when, after Smith
had been "peeved" at Llbby all night,
the tobacco heir announced he was
"going to end It all." Reynolds rush,
ed upstairs, Walker said, and the
sound of a shot was heard Immedi
ately afterward.
Questions by Solicitor J. Erie Mo
Mlchael were directed at uncovering
all possible Information concerning
the relationship between walker and
Llbby.
Heavy Drinking Told.
Llbby's testimony that nhe could
remember nothing save the actual
shooting between 11 p. m., July 4
and the afternoon of July 8, was
coupled with the evidence given by
others of continued heavy drinking
at Reynolda for several days.
During her one lucid period during
the time of the mental lapse she de
scribed, Llbby said, she saw Reynolds
kill himself.
Coming to Monday night, 24 hours
before his death, when he said he
was going to end their marriage be
cause he was not able to make her
happy, she broke down. As she told
of the physical handicap which she
claimed had not impaired her love
for him, or caused her to entertain
his suggestion that she have an affair
with another, she cried:
"Oh I Such agony. Oh, God!"
Feared Own Sanity.
When Walker reached the night of
the death In hla testimony he swore
that the hospital incident happened
after, he and Libby had helped the
mortally wounded youth, and that he
became faint and fell to the floor,
the nurses entering as Llbby was
helping him up.
He testified he had seen nothing
out of the ordinary pass between
young Reynolds and the brunette
torch singer the fatal night, although
he admitted Smith had told him a
night or two before that he had be
gun to question his own sanity.
At this time, Walker said, he and
Reynolds went to a hotel and drank
themselves to sleep.
Walker said later, at the party,
Llbby threw her arms around him
and cried:
"Smith doesn't love me."
Walker said ahe was "very tight"
at the time, but denied ahe kissed
him.
"Going to End It All."
About midnight, he said, Reynolds
entered the house, and was joined
by his wife. Entering Walker's room,
the witness said, they remained about
15 minutes, when Llbby ran out, fol
lowed by Smith. Walker said Smith
returned to Ihe reception room In a
few minutes, the young millionaire
saying he was going away and not
coming back.
"I'm going to end It all," Walker
quoted Smith as saying, following an
nouncement that a trip around the
world he had planned was "off." Aa
he made the suicide threat he pitch
ed his pocketbook to Walker, told him
to wait, and went upstairs.
A moment later came the sound
of a shot. Walker said Blanche Yur
ka, New York actress who was a
guest In the home, began calling
him. Then came a scream from Llb
by's room, and ahe ran out, dropping
on a bench on the mezzanine bal
oony. Investigation revealed Smith,
near death, lying on a bed on a sleep
ing porch adjoining the bedroom used
by him and his wife.
Cautioned Silence.
Walker aald he cautioned Libby
not to talk at the hospital when he
heard her telling everybody how
Smith had several times placed a
gun to his head and threatened to
shoot.
Walker explained that Mrs. Reyn
olds' shoes and sweater, found In
his room, must have been left there
while she and her husband were
there.
Walker admitted that at the hos
pital he said "Whatever happens,
there's some secret about thla mat
ter I'm going to carry to my grave."
He denied, however, that there was
any truth in thla statement, or that
he had withheld anything from In
vestigators. W. N. Fulcher, nig'ht watchman at
Reynolda, contradicted other wit
nesses regarding the time of Mrs.
Reynolds' retirement the fatal night,
saying ahe was In the yard about
13:30, a half an hour before the
ahootlng.
He said Walker came up and Join
ed her. and that In a moment Smith
called out from the upstairs porch,
asking what the noise was.
Within 10 minutes, he said, he
heard a shot, and then heard a car
drive off. He said he did not Inves
tigate the shot. '
