Northern Illinois from the Mis sissippi river to Lake Michigan, is certainly a sight to behold at the present time. If Keats was right and a thing of beauty is really a "joy FOREVER", then this section of the Middlewest can view its future without alarm, as far as it cup of happiness is concerned, "Such beauty" said Keats, "never passes into nothingness." Ferhaps not in the poet's mind. But we are not so sure of the mass mind in the corn belt. From what we have heard since our arrival if such a calamity, as, say the renomi nation and re-election of Franklin D. Roosevelt should occur a ypar hence, the joy and beauty of this perfect summer of 19:15, will he riuickly and completely completely as in the midRt of abundance. the drought of just There is no such thing as memory in the mass. The genus homo lives for the day. Delegates from what they call the "grass root" convention at Snrincrfield are coming home. 'We question the political propriety of that name, from coined by the late Senator Bevericlge ot Indiana, at me mill Moose convention in 1012, and associated with the most scathing indictment of Republican reaction in political history. In the minds of the people of this generation nearly a quarter of a century later, "grass" will be associated with the campaign prediction of former President Hoover that if he were not re elected grass would grow in the streets of bankrupt America. As the men who originated this idea of the Springfield conven tion were largely of the extreme, reactionary type, we fear the time may come when that "grass roots" appclation will be regarded as rather an ironical one. We have just returned from a walk with one of the Oook county delegates to this convention, along the grassy, tree shaded banks of the Rock river. He is an ex-service man, active in the American Legion, an intelligent, forward looking young man, sincerely anxious to serve his country; convinced that, in securing the overthrow of President Roosevelt and the New Deal, this scr.vice will be rendered. We thought he made one rather significant remark. Said he: "I am sure Roosevelt and the New Dealers are all wrong, but I don't know WHO is right." Considerable shrewd sense in that, observation. Unquestionably Roosevelt has made mis takes he said he would it was a program of trial and error, and it is exceedingly easy to point them out AFTER the event, but. it is not so easy either to pick out a man who would have done better, nor be at all sure of what the precise program should be NOW. So many know what NOT to do, but. who knows precisely what should be or should HAVE been DONE! . . That extreme personal hatred of President Roosevelt which we observed in Wall Street a Street in the Middlewest. Political sentiments may move from cast to west with the sun. In this city one can't walk up and down Main Street, and engage in conversation with any of its inhabitants for five min utes without having the president and bis New Deal come up, for anoers or epithets, often both, before the conversation is ended. It is unquestionably the Main Street theme song, at the present, time. The person who still questions that the president of the United States has grown horns and a tail, and deserves the fate of Benedict Arnold, or the Weyerhaeuser kidnapers, finds it hard sledding, to keep the conversation away from what is table topic No. 1. The answer is that Main Street is essentially just as con servative and averse to radical change as Wall Street. If one has any memory for partisan politics, it will be recalled, that the sentiment on Wall Street and Main Street against President. Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson was not so many years ago much the same. Read your political history and you will find that the most heartily hatel presidents throughout our history, have been those who advocated CHANGE. . . . Among the Main Street intelligenzia here, the defeat of the Democratic party at the next election is taken for granted. As Hoover carried Rockford and Winnebago county, in 1032, this feeling should not be surprising. Rut it did surprise us to hear a prominent, lawver and former state legislator seriously main tain, that F. D. R. could NOT possibly secure the democratic nomination. ' "The real democratic leaders in and out of congress" said he, "are all against, him; they realize their only chance of vic tory lies in throwing him and his long haired professors over board, cleaning house completely and under new leadership returning to first principles of Jefferson and Jackson." If his other political predictions arc no better founded than this one, then he can be disregarded, as a victim of Kooscvelt- phobia and rather childish wishful thinking. For certainly if F. D. R. wants the nomination he is hound to get it. . . We trust no one will conclude we are taking this pre cainpaign political talk in this black Republican belt very seri ously. No doubt, if we had time or the inclination to canvas the factory sections, or stroll up and down Water street, we would have a very different story to tell. We are recording the violent. anti-Roosevelt sentiment, merely because entirely against our desire, we nave neen deluged wnn it, ever sinre our arrival. Outside of the extremely beautiful weather and country, never have we seen Rockford, which beautiful aa it is this year, write about. As a matter of fact the fate of will depend largely (perhaps entirely) upon one thing and one thing only. If a year hence, a majority of the people of this country, feel SATISFIED with them to continue along the same lines, and don t as thry did three years ago, want regardless of what it may RE. a CHANtiE; then nothing can hand if they feel dissatisfied, discontented and DO want a change, nothing can put him over. The conventions can convene, they can talk about returning to the constitution, or going on tn n new Freedom, or what not the people won't vote as any one talks, thev will vote next year, just as thev have in the past, as thev FEEL I R.

One of the biggest results obtained as a result of thexe meetings which have brought about a better understanding throughout the county, was the orgsnlrstlon of the Jackson County Chamber of Com merce to take the place of the old Medford Chamber of Commerce. On the board of directors of the ohsmber of commerce today are represented seven communities outside of Med-1 ford. Each community selects it on director and those who serve on the board are in a better position to know what th chamber of commerce Is do- ;in and how its wotk affects the out sun eckmmunUie.

(Asso ciated Press Photo) Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS. THIS dispatch comes from Biloxi, Mississippi, where governors ! about half the states of the union have been holding a meeting: "Out of two days of brisk argu ment by governors of more than ban the states over relief policies and the remains of NRA, a unanimous vote of confidence and a pledge oi co-operation for the Roosevelt ad ministration have emerged." CYNICAL thought: Do you suppose the fact tnat these governors feared if they didn't pledge confidence and co-operation they would get little relief money for their states had anything to do with It? A NOTHER dispatch catches tne eye this one from Washington: "The sum of (166,153, represent ing the FULL AMOUNT DUE on war debts, was received by the TJ. 8. treasury today from Finland. TWELVK other European nations defaulted." Oood for Finland. She makes it possible for us to believe that a LIT TLE honesty la left among nations. Darned little, though, so far as Europe is concerned. 4- ANOTHER significant dispatch, dated at Oklahoma City: "The government won Its first conviction of a kidnaper's attorney against Ben B. Laka, of Denver, and arrested his star witness for per jury." Significant because if we're really to control crime we must catch and punish not only the criminals them selves but those who HELP the criminals. THIS writer, expressing a purely personal feelllng, hopes particu larly they convict and impose a stnt sentence on the witness who per jured himself, and then follow it up by going after ALL WITNESSES who perjure themselves In an effort to defeat conviction of criminals.

The naval vessels were never as close to Japan as they would have been to Great Britain U maneuvering off Cape Cod. The main action was around Midway Island, which Is 3000 miles from Japan. The main secret reason why the north Pacific was selected was to test weather conditions there. The navy had always been playing around the Caribbean and the Panama canal, where the weather Is warm and ideal Ships and planes Knew nothing of the rough and foggy going of the North Pacific In actual practice. In the Caribbean you can fly every day, but up off Alaska, only once In four to five days. The loss of fliers in these maneuvers Is evidence of their unfamlllarlty with such condi tions. You can get the Idea if you con sider what happened to the Brmy with the air mall. It trained Its men at southern camps, grounded them when fog appeared. When the air mall test came, they were not prepared for it in equipment or ex perience. Tlit best bald understanding of the situation haa been offered by none other than the Japanese ambassador. This unusually capable diplomat, in talking for a newsreel. pointed out that the Japanese fleet would soon hold Its maneuvers nearby, ana added: "Navies will be navies." It isn't the new deal that Is hold ing us back; It's Industry; at least thle Is the emarkable view ex pressed by Governor Eccles of federal reserve In an overlooked radio talk recently. Eccles blames laeglng re covery upon corporations which have not passed on the funds they are receiving. They are selling, but not spending. An Incresse of ,3,600.000.000 In member bank deposits In 1034 over 1933 is cited by his associate, as evidence of lndustrlsl hosrdlng In banks. This Is a good practical argument; but It may not be a valid economic one. All Industries are proceeding cautiously as regards expenditures, but largely because their costs are uncertain, their Income deficient and uncertain. They would spend If they could see their way clear. Mr. Eccles appears to hsve found a factor; but he la pulling it by the tall instesd of the head.
