Including Cleve land !':'. IVem, Ore. . . Dse Mall mount Want Ala What Is Democracy? A S FAR as we are aware, democracy still means the rule of the people. And the rule of the people still means the. rule of the majority. ' -,'. If this is true, and we hear no denials, then why all this hulabaloo about what the President said about Senator George of Georgia t Above all, why maintain it is a blow at the heart of democ racy, aa attempt by the President to become another "Hitler," by destroying the legislative branch of the government! That seems to this column as uncalled for, and to express it mildly, an exceedingly silly accusation. ' . - FOR since when has any President's word become law, his mere expression of preferences, a mandate from-on-high, which willy-nilly must he obeyed! Does anyone seriously maintain that when this primary election is held in September, the members of the Democratic party in Georgia will go to the polls, and vote for the candidate they DON'T want, merely because the President of the United States said he wished them to! . And if they don't do that, if they vote for the candidate they DO want, and if their candidate is favored by the ma jority, then how can anyone say that the election of such a candidate because he also happens to be the President's choice means the destruction of this democracy! IN other words, has the character of the American people changed so radically, since the days of Theodore 'Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilsonj that whereas they did not hesitate at the polls to repudiate the former, and not only repudiate but break the heart of the latter, they are today, too supine, too craven, too cowardly, to do exactly as THEY WISH TO DO, and if they feel so impelled repudiate Franklin Delano Kocse velt and tell him too, to jump in the lake! ' We can't believe it. And Vfe fail to see how anyone else can believe it. And if the people of Georgia, or any other state, vote as they wish to vote, and their will (the will of the ma jority) is carried, out, then, far from meaning the destruction of democracy, it means the functioning of democracy in aper fectly natural and normal fashion, and we fail to see how anyone who knows the meaning of the term, can deny it. What Is Dictatorship? DT THE above we are neither commending nor condemning the President's particular attitude toward Senator George. We are merely calling attention to the absurdity of the con tention, that the effort of the President to secure n congress friendly instead of hostile to his policies is un-American, anti social, and is only another step in his determination to make himself an American Dictator. RUBBISH! Such action may be wise, it may be unwise, it may be politic, it may bo impolitic (we believe it IS the latter) but it ISN'T, . UNdemocratic. Not only hns similnr action been taken by former Presidents, but this column believes such action that is clear-cut, definite, fearless LEADERSHIP on the part of the President of the United States is acutely needed at the present time. We might even go so far, as to say, that without such leadership under conditions which today exist survive. And that sort of leadership In effect he is saying to the the members of his own party: "I believe In certain definite liberal principles. I want the aid of a congress and the support of the people, regardless of their party labels, who also believe In those principles. I don't seek the aid and 1 don't expect the support of those who don't believe In them. It Is up to you to decide. It Is up to me to sld you In that decision, by pointing out those candidates who favor my principles and those who don't, those who talk my political language and those who don't." Now that as before stated may be poor politics, it may even wreck the Democratic party, and break Roosevelt. But it isn't undemocratic and it isn't dictatorship. It is executive LEADERSHIP, the this country to- form a new Liberal Party, by his own efforts, practically over night an effort which the people of this country, in Georgia or any other state, can 'accept, or reject, when they march to the polls, precisely as they WISH ! What Are "We" Anyway? IITIIAT ARE the American people anyway, that is, the " majority of them! We wish Dr. Gallup would pose this question in his next poll of public opinion, so we might get some light on the subject. Are "we the people" by and large, honest, self respecting, industrious, decent! Or are we no better than so much white trash, crooked, corruptible, indolent, degraded! We believe the time has come to put all our cards on the table and, if it is possible, find out. For really, what should be done and what shouldn't be done, as far as public policies are concerned, depends so largely upon what we really are, what the character of our citizenship really is. TT'AKE relief one example. It is frequently stHted the Roosevelt form of relief is ruining the character the moraleof the American people. That Ihe average American today if given the choice between JS or 30 dollars a month on relief, and the same amount, or even a lariier amount, as steady productive employment, he will invariably choose the former. In other words your typical American PREFEUS being a DKpendent, to being IWIependent. lie I'KKKKHS being a ward of the government's, to having a responsible job. He is ln.y, no good, he doesn't want to make his own way, stand on his own feet, if there is any way to avoid it. And in federal relief he finds the wav to avoid it. IS THAT true! We mean does that represent the average American the majority or only the very rare exception! Far more important, it semis to us, is the answer to this question than any clrctinn or any candidate. Wlml are "we the people" nnvwayt Isn't it shout time to lake our bearing, and if possible FIND OUT!

Nor the next, nor the next but today's expectant father wouldn't be Interested In that. A few suggest ions may show the prospective parent how to be happy la some thing for people preparing for par enthood to think about: Why do the common schools of thta country provide no Instruction for the future parent:? Why la such vital knowledge left for boys and girls, young men and young women, to pick up as and where they can find it? X engaged the best doctor In town three years before the birth of ra7 first baby. That may be a little early, but Just the same you can't engage your doctor too early tot the best Interest of all concerned In any case It Is well . to have th. 1 counsol and advice of a good doc-! tor for as many month1; In advance as you are reasonably certain of te coming event: that will be 278 days in some cases: six months In more cases: 4y3 months in any case. Picking the best doctor In the community' was simple enough for me.' I was he. Or nt any rate I thought so then. I might not be quite so confident now. Still, I i?ot through with it all right, and made certain about aaepsls I was afraM the other doctors, the older ones, in the community might not use a j rigidly aseptic technic. Not that I i would mind so much about other people's babies, if they preferred the other doctors, but this was my baby What is the sense of running to a doctor at that early stage of tli affair? Can't any older woman tell the expectant motner all she needs to know about the business? Or If there is a midwife In the neighbor hood can't she look after the prep aration for maternity for a fraction of what a doctor will charge? Approximate date of confinement may be determined by counting 280 days (10 lunar months) forward from first day of last menstruation; or more early by counting three months back from that day and adding seven days. Delivery will generally occur a day or two before or after the com puted date.

After that blurb last week I thought I was through with Spanish music awhile. But I Just had a long talk with Eddie LeBaron. and LeBaron is synonymous with the tango in this town. Months ago I wrote that I thought he was the best dancer in town. I meant by this that nts dancing wasmos. piercing to t!ie eye. lie used to tearhl; fh tnnrn hut now he dances oni for pleasure, and when I asked him who were the best dancers he had ever danced with he unhesltatlnglr mort Mae Murrav. Martna Kayc and Ginger Rogers. Theso were pro- ffuMinni.1 names. He nrererreo not. to nam his favorite partners in tre social world. "I Iovb the tantro." he tells you "and I always will. It Is the onlv dance with a definite motive because It has a beginning and end. "Its music Is not the most roman tic in the world that la reserved for the Mexican wait but It Is haunt ing and It Is always melancholy Have you never observed that the words tn a tango are always sad?' LeBaron was born in Mexico. Vfter being reared In France and Italy he came back to New York and spent four years In a military school. On the coast he organized dance studios and orehrstras. H? makes all tis Spanish -jrpen king pictures for Mono gram. Inc. And nts own tango or chestrawell, it hns been at the Rainbow Room for 16 months, and the Rockefellera will keep him there until 1041. Eddie thinks the tango Is the easiest of all daners to learn. "It you can walk you can tango, ne declares. "And you can learn it in 30 minutes. If you can't learn th? tango tn half an hour you can't lenrn (t In five years' In his nteluly duties as the direc tor of a cvlohratrd orchestra he has learned that every hoiir of Uie eve ning ha Its pecullur psychology.

Answer It is neither necessary nor advisable. If the food Is not fresh and clean enough when canned, or the canning process Itself is not suf ficient to assure preservation, then It would be better to worry along from season to season without can ned food.

Cit Hats Blouses Ethfiwyo B Hotftuann The Capital Parade (Continued from Page Ona.) be said that they are now trying hard to avoid the third term alternative Aa the remark quoted above implies, the primary purge and tha whole program for the reconstruction of the democracy la intended solely to make it possible to nominate a new dealer In 1Q40. The danger la that the third term alternative offers such an easy way out that the struggle to recon struct the democracy wont be waged as unrelentlessly as possible. Leaving on one side the dangers of the third term - precedent and the other conservative arguments, there are solid considerations which should make the most sincere new deaiers think twice about the third term. In their cross-country wanderings this summer, your correspondents set out with open minds, anxious only tc discover what the effect of a third term race would be. What they dis covered was disquieting, from the point of view of the men now talk ing third term. In the first place, the ancient tra dition against third terms still has surprising pulling powers end not only among the people who would naturally view with distaste tour more years of Roosevelt. In Kentuciry, for example, three of the president's rare whole-hearted admirers In the upper helrarchy of the press were asked what they thought. They were all bitterly opposed to the tnlrd term idea. Elsewhere in the south and west, a surprising number o? really ardent new dealers were found to be like-minded. Strangely enough, the people who viewed the third term with equanimity were exactly the or ganization politicians whom the new dealers are now fighting. They know Roosevelt's strength with the mass 01 voters, and. In such formerly Repub lican states as Iowa and Michigan, would like him at the head of che ticket to help elect their local can didates. Pew differed from the organization men in supposing that, as of today, Roosevelt could be re-elected. But other Interesting arguments wore commonly offered by Informed lib erals. First, they said. "Roosevelt is a magnificent front man for a lib eral program. He's done a great Jib. But the people won't stand anyone however nice his smile, for twelve years. They'll turn on both him and his program. Get a new front man. and the program can go on." The second point was equally In teresting. One man made it thus "you know well enough what sort or campaign It will be If Rossevelt runs again. It will be a campaign of ap peals to prejudice, of vituperation and personal charges. It will be con ducted tn a vigilante spirit. There's h definite chance he would oe beaten In which case the vigilante cam paigners would become vigilantes in office. And of he wan, you would still have transformed the conserva tive opposition from its present harmless, comparatively decent state to a vigilante opposition, rhat's vciry definitely something serious to think of." Slice them any way you want to. these are arguments to be pondered. even by men who think the new deal a heaven on earth. APPROVE NAMES FOR NEW BATTLEWAGONS HYDE PARK. N. Y. Aug; 23.
