ROCKFORD, 111., .Turin 13. 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

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,

Comment

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.

ANOTHER significant dispatch,
dated at Oklahoma City:

conviction of a kidnaper's attorney
against Ben B. Laka, of Denver, and
arrested his star witness for per

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.

were never as close to Japan as they

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
