Hard To Understand
PIERE are many happenings in the world today which don't
make sense. One of them is the howling and caterwauling
from Republican headquarters against the Democratic purge.
Why should the G.O.P. complain! Isn't the President play
ing their game)
Of course he is.
'The more the President purges, the deeper he drivesithe
wedge of discord and dissension into his own party, the b?u?r
chance the Republicans have, not only this November, but two
years hence.
Tet to hear some of these G.O.P. war horses faunch and
fume, about dictatorship and totalitarianism, one would con
clude, the President were threatening to send the opposing
party crashing on the rocks, not his ownl
IT'S ALL very strange. The Republicans pride themselves upon
their aptitude for practical affairs, nothing sentimental
about them they are hard-headed business men. And yet in
this anti-purge squawking they are placing themselves in the
position of a good business man, who sees a competitor, adopt
ing a policy that threatens his destruction, and doing every
thing in their power to dissuade him, i.e.: to save him.
It just doesn't make sense. Certainly it can't proceed from
any altruistie motives, nor from any fanatical devotion to
abstract political morality. Practical politicians, regardless of
party, never indulge in such things.
THEREFORE the only explanation we can see is this:
The dear old Republicans have become so accustomed,
to cursing out P.D.R., regardless of what he may say or do,
that they proceeded to jump all over him for the purge before
they realized it was the luckiest break for the old pachyderm,
since the other Roosevelt, conducted a purge, and divided the
Republican party into the Bull Moose sheep, and the Conserva
tive goats, back in 1912.
In other words it's the old cry of "wolf" all over again.
The Republican chieftains got so in the habit of booing every
time the President opened his mouth, regardless of what lie
had to say, they proceeded to do so when he launched out, on
the purification of his own political organization.
The Democrats the regular ones should have been the
ones to holler on this particular occasion, not the Republicans.
In Black and White
LIKE many other successful columnists, Westbrook Pegler,
started out as a sports writer, and a good one.
He retains pretty much the sports department point of view,
and the sports writers style.
In other words he prides himRelf upon being a pretty tough
guy with a comprehensive grasp of dressing-room vermicular
and a wallop in each hand.
THERE is no highbrow nonsense about Westbrook. He is a
sort of reportorial Jack Dcmpsey. No boxing finesse for
him, no scientific pretensions. Like Jack he has one technique
and only one, he sizes up his victim, puts his head down unci
wades in. Its a knock-out or nothing, And up to date it has
usually been the former.
Pegler has other Dempsey characteristics, the fighting
heart and the killers instinct. No one on two legs can scare
HIM. "What, that, big guy over there with a 3 -days beard on
his chinl Shucks, bring him on, the bigger they are the harder
they fall," and so forth and so on.
Yep, Westbrook is a real He-man, and the boys and girls
in the readers gallery, can't get enough of him. He is a striking
demonstration of the first commandment of the columnists art,
it makes little difference what you say if you only say it
with sufficient color, originality and vigor, particularly the
latter. As columnists go, the only one who approaches l'cglcr's
popularity, at the present writing, is another two-fisted snorter,
none other than our old "blue cnglc" pal, General Hugh S.
(Smashem !) Johnson, who asks no quarter and certainly gives
none,
QO IF there are any aspiring columnists hereabout, they
would do well to bear the two examples above in mind.
In that department it isn't so much what you say, as tho way
you say it, if you have a passion for the truth, or justice, or
the precise word, don't waste your time in any columnistic
efforts, devote your "unquestioned literary talents" in sonic
other 'directions, unless of course, you have an income, of
your ownl
Not True but Popular
A CHARACTERISTIC Pegler burst was directed at none
other than the President of the United States, recently.
It hardly takes courage to slap down F.D.R., it is in fact,
one of our most general and popular indoor sports, but this
particular one did show the Pegler technique rather more
clearly, than the average.
In brief, Pegler accused F.D.R. of hypocricy, insincerity
and general bail faith, because at various times he has referred
to "economic royalists" and "well fed club men" with scorn,
when the record shows ho is MOTH.
And Pegler, as usual, makes a strong case, SUPERFIC
IALLY, with "Who's Who" showing the exclusive New York
city clubs to which Roosevelt still belongs, and the fact that
the Hyde Park Roosevelt have been, and still are, included
in the Social Register, ahmg with all the other economic
royalists.
Ij.K.l). ; Roosevelt is a traitor to bis class.
TlTl'.LL, strictly speaking of course, lie is, in that he is
" seeking to bring about a new social and economic order,
which the majority of his class is opposing with every ounce
of strength and every penny in the bunk.
Hut so what I Does that convict him of hypocricy, insin
cerity and bad faith! Obviously NOT I
No more than it convicts Theodore Roosevelt, Thomas
Jefferson, or George Washington, who in the same sense
were all traitors to their class, for they as Presidents placed
the welfare of their country, above that of THEIR class.
However, the indictment reads well --it sizzles ami takes
the hide nfl, imd that's what "Peg" likes to do, and what
the crowd also likes.

twist a wisp of absorbent cotton on

NEW ORLEANS. This Is a per
sonal billet doux to Helen Hayes:
Dear Helen, sometime ago you re
turned from a tour of the country
and told report
ers In New York
JPftA that the most de-
ate during your
coast to c o a a t
tour was at An
ton e's. In New
Orleans.
I know Just
what you mean.
Helen. I feel that
way. too. I
thought of you
last night when
I was there. , I
told the waiter
whax you had
said, and he pointed out where you
sftt. See how they remember you?
I sat In your chair, Helen, In that
same little room with the sawdust
floor, off from the main room.
And I had pompono, too. Just as
you did. sealed In a heart-shaped
paper bnij. Whoever thought of
cooking fish, all heaped with herbs
and snitcrs. sealed In a paper bag?
That's Creole rooking, Helen. That,
recipe wasn't brought over from
France. It was arrived at, through
necessity, right here In New Orleans
The slaves had their part in the
origin of Creole cooking, and the
Indians. Are you a good cook. Helen
I thought of you as I sat there
dining, and when they turned the
lights out for the cafe brulot. There
waa brandy and cinnamon and clove
and orange peel and lemon peel all
in one magnificent flame that threw
shadows on your face. And didn't
It taste good I Didn't It though? It
sure did taste good. I have a brulot
bowl, now. it's already on the way
to New York. I hope It turns out
the way I want It to. Yet some
how I've got a hunch It won't be
the same as It Is here. Maybe there's
more than a bowl to it, and a bit
of lemon peel.
I wonder If you remember that
door at the end of the room. Helen?
let me tell you about that door.
1 hope I'm not telling tales out of
school, hut that door has been open
ed only on ce in 6ft y r a ra. And it
happened tike this. It was opened
by the man who tnok me to dinner
there, by Seymour Weiss.
That was when President Roose
velt came to New Orleans not very
long sco. There was a small. Inti
mate dinner In hta honor. If I re
member there were only five people
NWde. trc President snd his pnrty.
Thev were the governor, the mayor,
the publishers of the newspapers In
New Orleans, and Seymour Weiss.
Thry planned the dinner for this
same little room where you were.
Helen, with the sawdust floor and
that closed door at the end. And
to get to that room, as you remem
ber, you have to come In from 9t
Unils sticet, crow that ureal open
dinlnc room, and turn lft through
a hallwav before yon get there.

Please give your opinion of young

Answer In my opinion It Is In no
way harmful to the health of men,
women or children.
Canners Beware
If many housewives try to fill glass
Jars brimful before sealing and
cooking, a lot of them will be after
your scalp, for the Jars are certain
to burst when heated If a little air
Is not sealed In to serve as a cushion

C. M., chemist.
Answer Yet Mrs. L. H. P. wrote
that she had 175 cans of fruit In
her closet, all glass and every can
was sealed air tight, before cooking.
Perhaps she left a little cushion of

she fills the can until It will hold
no more before she seals it, then

Communications
The Wisdom of Washington.
To the Editor:
In reply to your editorial of August
28. captioned "U. S. Ancestor Wor
ship." I believe that It would be
clarifying to permit Washington to
speak for himself. Therefore I quote
from his "Farewell Address:
"It is Important that the habits
of thinking In a free country should
Inspire caution In those entrusted
with Its administration, to confine
themselves within their respective
constitutional spheres: avoiding in
the exercise, of the powers of one
department to encroach upon another
the spirit of encroachment tends
to consolidate the powers of all the
departments In one. and thus to
create, whatever the form of gov
ernment, a real despotism. A Just
estimate of that love of power, and
proneness to abuse It. which pre-
domt nates In the human heart. Is
sufficient to satisfy us of the truth
of this position. The necessity of
reciprocal checks In the exercise of
political power, by dividing and dis
tributing tt Into different deposi
tories, and constituting esch the
guardian of the public weal against
invasions by the others, has been
evinced by experiments ancient and
modern: SOME OF THEM IN OUR
OWN COUNTRY AND UNDER OUR
OWN EYES. To preserve them must
be as necessary as to Institute them.
If In the opinion of the people, the
distribution or modification of the
constitutional powers be In any psr
tleular wrong. let It be corrected by
an amendment IN THE WAY WHICH
THE CONSTITUTION DESIGNATES,
BUT LET THERE BE NO CHANGE
BY USURPATION: for though this
in one Instance may be the instru
ment of good. TT IS THE CUSTOM
ARY WEAPON BY WHICH FREE
GOVERNMENTS ARE DESTROYED."
Of course it is not desirable to
"worship" the "father of our coun
try" or snr other of the Christian
colonial patriots, nor have they Inti
mated In the slightest degree a desire
to be worshiped. However. It is well
to remember, to respect. Yea! even
to reverence those forefathers who
formed, signed snd bequeathed to
us a form of government so admir
able that It has withstood the tests
of time longer thsn any other gov
ernment of earth. Moreover. It would
be extremely stupid and altogether
regrettable if we, as ft nstlon, failed
to heed the warning and to prop
erly value the extraordinarily proph
etic wisdom of that able and patri
otic public sen-ant, George Wash
ington, first President of the United
States.

Comment
' on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
fiOLONEL and Mrs. Lindbergh (sf-
fectlonately known as Llndy, back
in his .hero days) land their plane
at the airport In Praha (which used
to be known ss Prague; one has to
be a scholar In these days to keep
up with the names of cities In the
old world). Praha Is In Czechoslo
vakia (which, by the way, was for
merly Bohemia).
They are met by an admiring
crowd, bearing simple gifts of vari
ous sorts, and In ft desperate effort
to escape .these warm-hearted admir
ers taxi their plsne all over the field
and finally leap out of It and take
refuge In the waiting automobile of
an American diplomat.
Even at that, one woman manages
to crowd ft bouquet of roses onto
Mrs. Lindbergh (who was once known
affectionately from one end of this
country to the other as Anne).
THI Lindberghs, of course, have
been through the kind of grief
that sears and mars people. One
can't blame them for having been
marked by their harrowing experi
ences. But It's really a pity that Colonel
Lindbergh has never been able to
develop the little tricks of person
ality that would enable him to han
dle the crowds that seek to flock
around him, A wave of the hand
and ft friendly grin would fix every
thing. Lack of this ability makes life
more or less miserable for him wher
ever he goes.
A LIFE Insurance company, the
Sftlem Statesman tells us,' an
nounces that this nation's annual
gambling bill amounts to seven bil
lion dollars.
. That's a. lot of money, even In
these dsys when billions sre tossed
from tongue to tongue as carelessly
as ft cigarette butt Is tossed away.
It shows how recklessly people back
the hope of getting something for
nothing.
11TE ARE told, thus casually, that
the American people spend seven
billion dollars every year In gambling.
In an equally offhand way, we are
Informed that the nation's annual
crime bill Is 15 btlllon dollars.
How does anyone know about these
things?
The census bureau doesn't deal
with them. Most people don't even
put the amount of their gambling
transactions Into their Income tax
reports. And the criminals and their
victims certainly don't fill out ques
tionnaires on the cost of crime.
Where do these statistics come
from?
TpHE snswer is that they are guesses.
They may be close to the truth,
and they may be far from It. But
at least they are startling.

pulse when he Is frightened Is to
open the treasury doors and then let
the devil take the consequences. Only

ultimately happen If the old peoples'

to plot , treasury raid, should Join

For the immediate future, of

even to a normal member of tnc
house of representatives. A real hotde
of goofs and screw-balls has got to
be elected before anything really bad
can happen. Nothing more drastic
than broadening the social security
act Is to be expected for the present.
In speculating on how far the
White House and congress will oe
willing to go with the social securUy
law. one can't help recalling the great
terrors caused by Huey Lor and Or
Townsend. The good grey doctor was
directly responsible for the social se
curity law itself. Until his drivel oe
gan to sell to millions et a dime ft
drip, the new deal was not deepl?
interested In social security.
Senator Robert F. Wagner had
drafted and offered an excellent bill,
but the administration leadership in
the senate steadfastly blocked him
Then the doctor came along. The
Wagner bill was taken over, rewrit
ten (rather badly), and enacted be
fore you could say Jack Robinson
As for Huey Long, his share-tho-wealth
movement gave the White
House and the new deal the greatest
fright of the last six years. Huey was
the first of the promlse-the-moon
era. and at the start neither James
A. Farley nor Franklin Delano Roose
velt tsok him very seriously. Indeed
they thought him damaging, and
tried to keep him out of the way In
the 1932 campaign. Farley got the
shock of his life when his checkers
reported that in all communities
which Long was reluctantly allowed
to visit, he had made a tremendous
Impression.
After the break with Huey, the con
cern became much more lively, for
the Farley checkers continued to rd
port Long strength, running from
three to five million votes. Tn-share-the-wealth
or soak-the-rlch tax
bill was conceived and passed solely
to take some of the wind out ot
Huey's sails.
Thus It Is not a bad prediction that
the amendments to the social secur
ity set will be extremely liberal. It's
also likely that the president will
continue to sound off against "short
cuts to Utopls." slthough what good
such warnings can do people willing
to believe nonsense like the Downey

could tell.

A department store has dry
goods arid notions.
As many items as there are
fish in the ocean,
Sell you anything shoelaces
to grand pianos,
Maybe onions, peanuts, soap
flakes and bananas I
Sorta hard to be an EX
PERT in such an array,
Far easier to concentrate on
selling Chevrolet l
And you'll get more pleasure
in buying the car
Than anything else you buy,
Oh yes BY FAR!
