The Eternal Truth
'T'HE important thing in politics is not what is true, but what
people BELIEVE to be true.
We don't believe an impartial student of politics could be
found today, who after an analysis of the situation would deny
the truth of the following statement:
That President Hoover is better qualified to successfully
guide the ship of state through the troubled economic waters of
this country and the world than at any time during his career.
Wa further believe a majority of competent and impartial
political observers would endorse the truth of the following
statement that:
Partisan politics aside, President Hoover because of his ex
perience of the past three years, and the knowledge acquired
during that time, is better qualified than any other candidate
for President, to successfully administer the affairs of this
country during the next four years.
The Mail Tribune believes in the essential truth of both of
these statements. But wo roalize a majority of the people of
the country do not bolieve in them. ,
TPIIE task before the leaders of the Republican party is to
change the popular mind regarding President Hoover.
Under present eoonomio conditions we admit, the task is a gi-
gantie one, at the present writing it even appears an impos
sible one.
On the othor hand, the Republicans havo one distinct advan
tage, they have the truth on their side. As Wm Cullcn Bryant
observed nearly a century ago:
"Truth crushed to earth shall rise again,
The eternal yeara of God are her's;
But Error, wounded, writhes with pain,
And dies among his worshippers."
In other words Time is a Republican ally this year. What
appears impossible today may not appear so impossible three
months hence. . -

UNDOUBTEDLY. But this
assumption that Presidont Hoover is to blame for this world
wide depression, and that, if some other man or some other
party, had been in oontrol, conditions would have been materi
ally better.
We don't believe that. We
formed person in this country or
Presidont Hoover is no nioro to blame for this depression,
than President Coolidge was responsible for the boom which
preceded it. Both conditions were the product of elemental
world wide forces, over which no individual or party has
control.
OUT here again the spectre
It makes no difference what WE believe or what anyone
ELSE believes, the only important thing is what a majority
of the people believe.
And there is little doubt, that at tho present writing, the
American people as a whole believe that President Hoover and
the Republican party are somehow to blame for the present
mess, and that to turn them out will meBii SOMEHOW a
change for the better all around.
e e a
T7E hold no brief for President Hoover or the Republican
" party. We happen to have no enthusiasm, for either, at
the present time. But we DO believe this that everything con
sidered, retaining the present government, under President
Hoover, with the experience that government has, and the
knowledge of national and world conditions it has acquired,
gives more PROMISE of a prompt return to normalcy and a
certain betterment in business conditions, than to overthrow
that government, and turn it over to the party out-of-rower,
under the direction of "just another politician" like Franklin
D. Roosevelt.
And caring more for ending this depression, and bringing
t)i is country and the world out of its present economic tail-spin,
than anything else, we naturally favor the candidate and the
.party that in pur opinion gives the best promise of achieving it.

John H. Garner understands
politics and congress. The two
billion, one' hundred and twenty-two
million jobless relief bill
is a distinct Garner victory.
Congress will now rest, fix
ing fences. The ten million
jobless will notice no great dif
ference, the veterans none at
all.
Ten million idle men, to be
moderately happy according
to American ideas, need at
least five dollars a day, six
days a week. That would be
fifteen thousand million dollars
a year. ?ven the "richest gov
ernment" could hardly afford
that.
There is one comforting pos
sibility. The permanent five
day week may emerge from the
situation. The only offset to
machinery, limitless in its pro
ductive capacity, will be found
in limiting hours of work.
A nsval amphibian plane has
brought back to civilization two
American women that ' were living
with a wild tribe of Indians In the
Jungle Interior of Psnsma.
Both married Indians, One was
Mrs. White Eagle, the other Mrs.
Charlie Williams. Life eeemed dun
to these ladles, In Akron, Ohio. Per
haps they had red about the "im
passioned sheik" or "noble red men."
Anyhow, they married two of na
ture's Panama noblemen and when
rescued were lying on board plat
forms In leaky mud huts, and said
they could not have stood It much
longer.
The Indians offered- no objection
to their going. Perhaps they had
too often made odious comparisons,
connecting Akron and the Panama
Jungle.- '
Th.e "Husbands' Protective Asso

Number. 19
By
Rev. DeLoss Marken, Pastor,
College Avenue Church of Christ,
Des Moines, Iowa
As a minister of the gospel of
Christ, to me, the church is a divine
Institution. Christ loved the church
and gave His life's blood for It. He did
not give Himself up for clubs or po-
Utlcal parties, but He did give Him
self up for the Church of God. Christ
said, "Greater love hath no man than
this, that a man lay down his life
for his friend." The great principles
of our national Institutions and her
itages are .here as a result of human
blood sacrificed upon the altar of
service to God and Country.
Why are we the greatest nation on
the face of the earth? It is not be
cause of our army, navy, territorial
possessions, or Institutions of learn
ing. We are so powerful because ev
erything In It is made to (minister
to and serve the purpose of the In
dividual citizen. Our government and
the church are fitted, framed and
organised to minister to the people
In the .highest degree.
I realize that the church Is a place
for worship but the sanctity of the
church Is being violated today by
professional pacifists and commun
ists. America was founded upon
God and home. Communism strikes
at both and has made great Inroads
into our life. When some churches
permit communistic propaganda It Is
time for the church which do not
allow patriotic counter propaganda.
Resolutions havo actually been passed
by youth conventions and other
church agencies to educate young
people to believe It la not their duty
to defend their country in case of
Insurrection or Invasion. A move
ment Is on at the present time advo
cating "A Free Pulpit," presumably
meaning free use of the house of
God for secular propaganda. If we
permit such pernicious and destruct
ive doctrine In our churches, schools
and colleges, the government will
soon be overthrown and homes along
with it.

Third, acidosis Is always and solely.
I believe, an effect of disease, never

idle and futile for the layman to
attempt to select foods which- pur

aware certain fruit interests exploit
the Idea that liberal eating of cer

QUESTIONSAND ANSWERS
Denatured Alcohol
Using alcohol to rub on throat. It
seems to relieve soreness and get the
"frog" out of my throat. But our
druggist claims there is something In
alcohol that may poison me if I In
hale it freely. Is he crazy or am I?
(Miss M. A. E.)
Answer. All alcohol sold without
prescription la denatured (something
added to prevent it safe use as a
beverage). I think It is unwise to use
denatured alcohol or bathing alcohol
In any circumstance where It la likely
to be Inhaled.
Varicose Ulcer
Varicose ulcer five years. It .has
healed each summer, then broken
open again. Now doctor wants to cut
away old tissue around ulcer. (H. C.)
Ana. Often some such surgical
treatment Is necessary to permit com
plete healing.
Baby Doesn't Hold Head Up
Son 3 months old. We notice he
doesn't hold his head up as other
bablea do. (Mrs. S. M.)
Ana. Normal baby makes first vol
untary muscular efforts at age of 3
to 4 months. During the fourth
month, as a rule, the baby begins to
hold head erect If trunk Is supported.

Here in America, religious freedom
is granted to every man to wor&hlp
God in accordance with his own con
science. This right Is one of the
greatest, If not the preatest privi
lege of our country. General MacAr-
thur well says: "Religious freedom,
however, exists only so long as gov
ernment survives. To render our
country helpless would Invite de
struction not only to our political
and economic freedom, but also of
our religion.'
Religion-and patriotism have al
ways gone hand In hand, while athe
ism has invariably been accompanied
by communism, radicalism and other
enemies of free government.
I am utterly opposed to aggressive
warfare. Christianity teaches love,
forgiveness, peace on earth and good
will toward men. Yet, until the love
of God is manifested In the hearts
of men and nations, our government
must continue to protect the Uvea
of its citizens and our God-given ln
atltutlons. Christ never preached put
ting away tne sword ot authority In
the presence of injustice and evil.
-feace-at-any-price" demands com

relinquishing of all the frulta of our

The church cannot tolerate these
atheistic communists, with all their
greed, disregard for property and
massacred lives, and If permitted to
continue they will take your food,
your churches, your homes, your
government and your God."

the gospel of peace on earth, good

If the national banks took full ad
vantage of the fact they could Issue
a little less than $1,000,000,000 In new
currency but It Is not regarded as
likely they will do so.
Under the former law the national
bank currency Issues were secured
by 3 per cent government bonds and
only about (700,000,000 of them were
outstanding. The new law makes gov
ernment bonds, carrying not more
than. 3!4 per cent Interest, eligible
backing for national bank ' cur
rency, but limits the amount that
can be so issued by any bank to not
more than its own capital stock.
Under this restriction, despite the
fact that there are outstanding ap
proximately 93,000,000,000 In such eli
gible bonds, the banks could issue
a total of approximately 99S.C00.000
In new currency, that being the to
tal amount of their capital stock.
The banks that Issue the currency
must pay a tax of ohe-fourth of 1
per cent semi-annually or per cent
annually for the privilege. In addl-
then they must paid certain printing
and issuing costs. It a bank Is In
debt it could Issue the currency, pay
off the debt and save the difference
between the cost of the currency and
the Interest on Its borrowed money,
A bank which does not owe money
would merely be Incurring additional
expense without receiving any bene
fit In Issuing additional currency.
