In sharp contrast with most of the popular comedians today
Chio Sale was not merely a mouth-piece for a group of gag
writers.
He was from the outset an original and creative artist. His
portrayal of old rural types, the G. A. R. veteran, the village
postmaster, the Yankee cracker-box philosopher, the member
of the town band, were living figures of flesh and blood, abso
lutely authentic, and invariably touched by the hand of re
straint and genius.
He never played AT the part, be was always IN it. He
never yielded to the popular demand tor exaggeration and
burlesque, never was false to the atern demands of the true
character actor, he went down to the grass root for his material,

It was a homecoming for him. Since last spring, their

It's Time to Repent
Tt the Editor:
You are well pleaded with the restilt
of the recent election, as I would also
be hstl It went my way Instead of
yours. I hone, however, thst your
judgment is better than mine as to
the significance of the result. 'A
new ra?" Undoubtedly. But of
what sort. As a people we have been
very proud and havr been thinking,
and moct of ue still think, that the
calamities which have befallen other
nation's cannot befall n?. We are a
"choseu people'' even tho we are not
of the stock of Israel. Truly God has
blessed us In the past, and made us
great; or did we make ourselves great
without his help, or in spite of him.
Isn't it true thst a large ma polity of
us now take the latter view as to the
source of our greatness? If that Is
the correct view then the election Is
full of promises; but If the former
view is correct, it leaves room for
doubt, does It not?
If national greatness depends on
the favor of Ood, what grounds have
we now for thinking that we have, or
deserve his favor. If our preachers.
In large numbers, are-telling us that
his Book la a lie, and that Jesus
Christ Is a fraud. We have largely
accepted that teaching. Does that in
vite his favor? If the Ood who wrote
the fourth chapter of Amos, verses
6-13, shortly before he sent his chosen
people into captivity for their sins Is
the same Ood who has been sending
floods, storms, drought, homicides,
and general lawlessness upon us for
some years past, then the election
may point towards & similar fate for
us, and President Roosevelt may be
our Mussolini, our Hitler, our Stalin.
Certainly no one would claim that
the election of Landon would Indicate
a movement towards a dictatorship, to
which we have had so near an ap
proach, If not the real thing, for the
last four years.
If there Is a Just Ood his wrath Is
due us, unless we repent of our sins;
and can you indicate any signs of
serious repentance? I have been try
ing to find some, but with no very
great success. I hope, Mr. Editor, that
your Judgment is better than mine

If you missed your guess on the
election, you need not feel forlorn.
The president guessed he would get
360, and Mr. Hurja. the nonpareil,
handed Chairman Parley a last min
ute rock-bottom estimate of 370.
Not only these national leaders
underestimated their own majorities,
but even the county and ward lead
ers did not fully appreciate their
strength. For instance, an old line
Democrat drove home In Virginia to
vote for Mr. Roosevelt on election day.
He saw the three democratic county
leaders sitting on the court house
steps, and asked how things were
going.
"Not very good," replied the spokes
man. "A lot of people have Just come
In here to vote that we have not
seen since 1028. when they came In
to vote ago Inst Al 8mlth. We need
every vote we can get."
Next day. when the votes were
counted, the result was almost unani
mous for Roosevelt. Every one of
the suspected unknown voters had
voted for Roosevelt Instead of against
him.
Chairman Parley never gete any
credit. On the third successive bien
nial occasion, his election prediction
was almost exactly perfect, and far
better than that of the president. No
national chairman has ever had such
a record. Including Mark Hanna. who
had better reasons to know how elec
tlons were going than some. The re
sults would also indicate no one ever
had a better organization. Yet no
authority has yet called Parley the
greatest national chairman in history.
Perhaps time will tell It.
There la a rumor that a Republican
was elected state senator In a town
In the coal regions of Pennsylvania,

Comment
of the
Day s News
By FRANK JENSENS.
r: a despatch telling of the serious
plight of the communist defenders
of Madrid, this sentence occurs:
"Party lesders exhorted the defend
ing militia to fight 'without quaiter.
without truce'."
A LITTLE farther on, we read that
" a lot of these exhorting party
leaders ran out oA the fighting and
established political headquarters in
the Benlcarlo palace at Valencia, well
out of the combat zone.
Well, that's war for you. The poli
ticians do the exhorting and the poor
devils of commoners do the flg-htlng
and the dying.
pRANCE takes a leaf from Russia's
book and creates an ''Infantry of
the air," which is a combination of
Infantrymen and airplanes, the
planes dropping the soldi en in para
chutes behind the enemy lines so
that they may attack him from the
rear.
What will happen to these relative
ly few Infantrymen, of course, is a
matter for conjecture, but It seems
probable that the enemy will turn
upon them and "liquidate" them In
hort order.
The thought la that the liquidating
process will distract the enemy's at
tention, thus enabling the main body
of attackers to break through his
lines.
IN war, what happens to the Indi-
vfdual is of no consequence, so If
these soldiers dropped out of the sky
to their doom create a diversion that
will enable their side to win they
will have served their purpose.
War is like that.
I I ERE is a significant paragraph In
the news:
"As President Roosevelt tackled the
unbalanced budget problem today It
became apparent that heavy pressure
for and against an expanded aid and
an expensive new deal is shaping up."
In other words, the spenders are
girding up their loins and getting
ready for business and those who
realize that continued, spending in
excess of Income means bankruptcy
are preparing for a last ditch fight.
It will be Interesting to see which
crowd the president sides with for
whatever group he backs must win.
