Editorial Correspondence
COLUMBUS, Nebraska, Sept. (By mail) We snook
off from Rockford in the early dawn, with a parting shot from
the state police that some energetic minion of the law would
probably stop tig before we reached the Missouri river. The
theft of the car, description, license number, etc., etc., had been
broadcast over the Mississippi valley, and for some reason not
explained, the recovery of the car was not put out over the air.
We suggested an official notice to explain the absence of the
rear license plate and a battered one on the front, but the
officer said that would be unnecessary, just explain the car had
been stolen, show our driver's license and all would be well.
The consciousness that we were marked with the police as
stolen property cramped the chauffeur's style a trifle, but we
reached Omaha without mishap, and didn't even see a policeman
or motor cop along the way.
"Which shows" observed the bright young man, "how easy
it is to make away with a stolen automobile." No doubt the
police will come in for a panning, in that first short story.
. .
We stopped at Dixon, filling up with gas and oil, and
breakfasted at the Ideal cafe, where we observed on the front
door card, that "fresh food was served every day." Kggs appar
ently aren't included under the heading of food, they had the
unmistakable storage tang, and the butter was plain oleo, this

"Don't ask me" was tho snappy answer, "we are too busy to
think politics much less talk 'em.
"Uoosovolt prosperity ',' observed tho bright, young mini,
but the girl wns busy with the next customer, so we went on
with the score fiO-50.
We had parked the ear across the street at a service station,
and as we approached one of the attendants eame forward to
give tho windshield a finiil flick, ami tell us to come again.
Suddenly ho leaned over toward the front fender, picked up
something nnd asked "is this your chicken?" There in his
hand he held a white leghorn pullet, its eyes closed by yellow
lids, and added "By gum, must a hit it near town, it's still
warm." (As the unfortunate bird hod be.en resting in tho hot
noonday sun, for quite sometime this was not surprising.) Well,
yes, it was our chicken alright j there was tho corpus delicti, and
we reenlled one of the many we had passed nlong the highway
ran directly toward us as chickens will, but we thought had
gone safely under the car.
"Not. a bad idea" said the B. Y. M., "kill 'cm and pick 'ein
up as you go by."
"Instead of cash and carry, kill and carry" observed the
attendant who wns something of a wit also.
"Why not take it along nnd have it for dinner" said the
B. Y. M. But "papa" didn't like the idea picked up perhaps
for exceeding the !tf miles nn hour, in a stolon car, with some
poor farmer's yellow-legged pullet in the back seat, might not
look so well.
The court ruled the trophy should go to the menial of the
oil trust, who remarked he could "use it nil right." ,
Here wns another opportunity, "How are you going to vote
for president?" wo inquired as the engine started.
"Well the poll .in yostorday's paper showed Iandon carryin'
lo-wny guess that's nil right, ain't it?"
Speaking of chickens we wonder why farmers in the midwest
along tho Lincoln highway try to raise them or rather why if
they do, they dont keep them snfely penned up somewhere
instead of allowing them to forage along the right-of-way.
There were feathers atrewn all along the road from Dixon to
the Missouri river, nnd nenr Sioux City we ran into a dead
pig that had done his last bit of jnywalkiug. Why there aren't
several cows we can't understand, for the right-of-way appears
to be a very popular grn.ing area, and while a cow has moro
sense than n chicken, perhaps. we can't regard its I. Q. in thick
and fast motor traffic, ns exactly altitudinous.
. .
We stopped here only because the sun set, as we glided into
the nity limits, and nn attractive looking motor enmp confronted
us. These motor camps must be as serious a problem to hotels,
as motor trucks and busses are or were to railroads. That
is the modern ones. The old type motor camps, where one had
to sleep on a strnw mattress, take a bath at the community
faucet, and pay 23 cents extra for bedding, didn't compete with
the hotels. But the modem, up-to-date camps do this one was
clean, neat, attractive, with private baths, Simmons beds, garage
and new and tasteful furnishings, at less than half tho price
for similar neoommodntioiis nl n modern hotel. Our sympathies
arc with the hotels; just ns they have been and still nre with
the railroads, but competition is competition, nnd as we sec it,
this motor camp competition, particularly in the smaller towns,
will hnve to be met. in some way perhaps in lower prices and
free guru ge service or the hotels eventually will have ns hard
picking ns the rnilronds had, before they' woke up. "Time

Every public library haa or should

gives the best of our present knowl
edge of the cause and prevention of
disease, and I believe It omits no dis

character.
The more Important dlaeases we
know caused by specific germs arc
tetanus (lockjaw), typhoid (enterle)
fever, tuberculosis, cholera, plague,
diphtheria, anthrax (wool sorters' dls-
), glanders, gonorrhea, malaria,
epidemic cerebro-splnal mentngltl
(brain fover. spotted fever), syphilis.
typhus, tularemia, childbed fever
(puerperal septicemia), actinomyco

Diseases we believe to be due to
germs or other organisms: Amebic
dysentery, dengue, chlckenpox, small
pox, epidemic (lethargic) encepha
litis, measles, German measles, scar
let fever, Influenza, undulant (Mal
ta) fever, mumps, pneumonia (lung
fever), poliomyelitis (Infantile paral

(tick fever), septic sore throat, acute
Infectious conjunctlvltla (pink eye),
trachoma (chronic red sore eyes),
tulareinln, whooping cough, yellow

Diseases we know are caused by
parasitic Infestation: Trichinosis,
hookworm anemia, favua, and of
course the common round worm, pin
worm, tapeworm and ringworm In

Comment
of the
Day s News
By PRANK JENKINS
FRANK KNOX, Republican candl
cadate for vlce-piesldent, creak
ing In Helena, Montana, on Monday,
made this statement:
"Leaders of America' large cor
porations are not economic r-y
illats or representatives of en
trenched greed, Jut have been
partners In the most successful
co-operative business In history."
This successful co-operative busi
ness, to which he refers, Is the United
States of America.
SINCE 1776 (when It was founded)
the United States of America
has produced THREE TIMES as much
wealth as the WHOLE ( WORLD pro
duced before 1778.
It he more than doubled our AV
ERAGE wealth and our AVERAGE
Income since 1900.
BUT, the demagogues tell us. the
BIG SHOTS have got all this
wealth.
Let see about that.
In 1934. in the midst of the de
pression, there were 44 million sav
ings account In the United State
of America, with aggregate deposits
exceeding 34 BELLI ON dollars.
. Thee 44 million savings account
weren't all owned by the big shots.
AT the same time, 10 million build
ing and loan association mem
bers owned building and roan assets
worth eight BILLION dollars.
There were 131 million life insur
ance policies In force with a face
value of 108 BILLION dollars.
The big shot don't own all these
building and loan associations or all
these life insurance policies.
-
IN 1880. 34.7 per cent of the popu
lation of the United States was
gainfully employed. In 1030, 30.4 per
cent of our population was gainfully
employed.
In 1860, workers for wages revived
38 per cent of the national Income.
In 1939, workers for wages received
65 per cent of the national income.
The share of those who work for
wages, you see, has been STEADILY
INCREASING.
AS Mr. Knox says, the United
States of America, haa been the
most successful co-operative business
In the history of the world Wb are
all shareholders In this co-operative
business, and we have ALL BENE
FITED. We have benefited so TREMEN
DOUSLY that people from all over
the world have flocked to our. nores
In the hope of SHARING our oene-
flts, so that we had to erect high
immigration barriers In order to keep
from being swamped under the flood
of foreigners that was pouring in
upon ua.
THESE foreigners have been under
no delusions about the United
States of America. They have known
It is the happiest and most pro per -ous
country on earth.
WINDY demogogues (seeking of
fice) try to tell us this is
TERRIBLE country that it exalts
the rich and grinds the faces of the
poor; that It glorifle che fsvored few
and crucifies the many.
That Is a dastardly and fearsome
LIE. This Is the best country on
earth, and has been since its begin
ning. It hss done more for the com
mon man than any country ever did
before.
It has created a higher average level
of human comfort and human hap
piness than was ever known In the

agilely In their far eastern conquest.
Furthermore, Hitler 1 not ready.
If he were, he would not have to be
making public announcement! to
that effect. The best guess Is that
one more year of preparation at .east
will be necessary to develop hli po
tential fighting strength.
The betting, therefore, run hes
itantly but preponderantly against
the possibility of an outbreak.
The craftiest wrinkle in the Hit
ler diplomatic skein lolds over the
French.
The Russians have an agreement
with the French whereby France will
go to the assistance of the red "If
attacked." The alliance does not
hold good If the reds assume the of
fensive. So If Hitler can goad the
reds Into an offensive move, he may
deprive them of their ally.
It would not be as hard ut It
sounds. The diplomatic wires from
Paris have lately carried suspicions
that the French do not relish tl'elr
increasing responsibility as a Rus
sian ally of any one.
You may recall that they dodged
out of a somewhat similar si tuition
only recently In the Ethiopian crisis.
What Hitler wants with Chechoslov
akia may be seen with the naked eye
on any map of Europe The republic
is a wedge between Poland and the
French -control led countries of Ru
mania and Jugoslovla. It has the
famous Skoda munitions works,
largely French-owned. The famous
Transylvantan oil fields are within
seizing distance of the border, and
Hitler needs oil.
The Czechs hate communist. They
are ripe for a peaceful penetration
program from a major power, hav
ing usually been under the domt
nance of one or another.
That French newspaper which ac
cused BUI Bullitt of being a com
munist promoter apparently does not
keep up with the times. The new
American Ambassador to Paris as a
great promoter for understanding
