To the Rescue
Mr. Wendell Willkie.
Rep. Nominee for President.
My Dear Mr. Willkie:
I have listened several times
lately to news casters comment
ing on your challenge to Mr.
Roosevelt to meet you in debate
in this re-election campaign.
I have been greatly concerned,
s our president is a very busy
man, and really he iust can't
take time off to debate with you.
So, in view of the extraordi
nary circumstances I hereby of
fer and agree to substitute for
Mr. Roosevelt. Now don't get
excited; I have ample qualifica
tions. First, like yourself. I
know nothing at all about poli
tics, but I'm willing to learn at
other people's expense. Second,
I am entirely unknown, the large
majority of people who are ac
quainted with me will scratch
their heads In bewilderment and
try to figure out who I am.
Third, I know only what I hear
on the radio about international
affairs and as for national af
fairs, well, to tell the truth I
don't know any more about them
than you do.
Fourth, my time has but little
value, worth about as much as
an old setting hen's, as compared
to the president's. Fifth, I am a
native born American, a world
war vet. I am six feet 1 inch
tall, weigh 207 lbs., wear an 11
shoe and size seven hat, so you
can't say I've got the big-head.
I believe this is an excellent
iden (from my point of view) as
Mr. Roosevelt can devote his
entire time to affairs of state
and you and I could have a swell
time getting acquainted and tour
ing the country.
Yours very truly.

BUICK IN LEAVE
FOR PREVIEW OF
NEW 19JJ0DELS
R. A. Skinner, local Bulck
dealer, and Hubart Price, sale
manager, with O. V. Myers and
Harris Janes, members of his re
tail sales organization, left for
Seattle today to attend Buick's
Northwest sales convention for
a preview of the new Bunk
models and to hear Buick's
manufacturing and sales plans
for the 1941 season.
More than SOU Buirk dealers
and salesmen from all sections
of the northwest will attend the
Seattle meeting, which is si-hcd
uled about a week in advance
of the public presentation of the
new Binek cars. Speakers at the
convention will include Harlow
H. Curtice. Iiuuk president: W.
F. Hufstadcr, general sales man
ager: Charles A. Chayne. chief
engineer. A. F. Belfie, director of
merchandising, and Arthur Kud
ner. chief of Buick's advertising'
counsel, who are coming from
the Iiuick factory headquarters
al Flint. Michigan, specially for
the meeting.
Mr. Skmner said that Buick
m 1P41 will launch the largest
and most apgressive sales pro
gram In the company's history
with a minimum nhlrctive of
300.000 car, wnicli i substan
tially above tui- vmrs ull tiine
high of 83,000 Buicks.
Insulting!
CO that's it!
If you don't toe the chalk-line on November Eth
and mark your ballot for "four more years of Roose
velt" you are a TRAITOR ! !
Secretary Wallace didn't eay that in so many
words, but he might as well have said it. That was the
inescapable implication of all he did say.
MOREOVER, there is no escape.
1T1 Messrs. Willkie and McNary may be just as loyal,
just as patriotic, just as pro-American and anti-Nazi
as Messrs. Roosevelt and the distinguished speaker.
Even so, that will make no difference.
A vote for the Republican candidates THIS YEAR
will mean a vote for Hitler. A vote for the Democratic
candidates will, mean a vote against Hitler.
The Democratic vice-presidential nominee doesn't
BELIEVE the American people will "turn their backs
on the man Hitler wants to see defeated, the "un
yielding Roosevelt," and HIMSELF 1
IF they do, well, they will vote for appeasement,
for a divided and a doomed country, for a German
conquest of the United States, a fate in this great
democracy identical with the fate of France !
A CTUALLY, had that shameful and incredible ap
peal under the guise of patriotism, to the fears
and hatreds of the American people not been con
finned by the press reports this morning, we would
have concluded that what we thought was a, broadcast
from Des Moines by Henry A. Wallace last night had
been a nightmare, certainly the scholarly and ideal
istic former Secretary of Agriculture, whom both Re
publican candidates had gone out of their way to
praise and defend, could never, even under the stress
of partisanship, descend to such depths as that !
But there were the words last night, and here they
are again, the same words, on the teletype this
morning.
Fail to vote a third" term for Franklin Delano
Roosevelt and wittingly or unwittingly, you are a
Fifth Columnist!
llH AT has happened?
' "Upon what meat does this, our Ceasar, feed?"
Can this be our once meek, mild and somewhat
mystical apostle of the ever-normal granary, of "peace
on earth, good will to men?"
Henry Wallace, in his first effort for an elective
office, seriously maintaining that to be loyal to this
country, one must vote for himself and his adored
"Messiah" and for four more years of the Roosevelt
New Deal?
The thing is incredible to those who don't know
the "master mind" behind this shocking utterance. It
isn't so incredible to those who do.
But it May Work!
FOR this is the first, but it won't be the last, example

true if the President asked him to climb to the top of
the Washington monument and jump off, he promptly
would do it.

wasn't the Secretary of Agriculture sueakintr. it was
his "master's voice."
Having the fate of Woodrow Wilson in mind,
when that martyred President committed the fatal er
ror of trying to make partisanship a synonym for
patriotism, during World War No. 1, F. D. R. was too
wise to make any such appeal HIMSELF. But he was
not at all averse to having his faithful "Boswell" do
it, as he was not averse to having Donald Duck Ickes
the other day dig up and throw the dirt.
m
TOR it's good politics, IF IT CAN BE MADE TO
1 work!
If the people in this country CAN be made to be-
lieye that a vote for four
neing loyal to mis country, and a vote against IfeN I .
If they can be made to BELIEVE that for some
reason not made clear President Roosevelt, who as
Mr. Wallace claims "saw the tine Hitler menace from
the start," but failed in an adequate way to prepare
for it. can now alone be depended upon to do so.
If they can be made to BELIEVE that when
proper U. S. defense depends almost entirely upon an
ability to get big business and the government work
ing together in the wholesale production of planes,
tanks, guns, munitions, ships, etc.. etc.
Two "Messiahs" like Roosevelt and Wallace, who
have had no experience in business, and lack the con
fidence of American business, can do a better job
than.
Two practical and capable men like Wendell
Willkie and "Charley Mac," who have BOTH,
Why then the American people can be made to be
lieve ANYTHING, and much as the people may
want to have a change in Ihe White House on No
vember oth, they are powerless to bring it about.

Thirty years
ago I had what
was called
typhoid fever
and apparent-
1 y recovered
fully. Some
years later I
began having
dizzy t p e 1 1 1
and headaches.
M y appendix
was removed, and later my gall
bladder. Blood tests at various
times gave no clue to the cause
of my headaches. Doctors could
find no cause or remedy.
Then about five years ago.
after one of my occasional In
testinal infections (so-called) . . .
the blood test showed undulant
fever. I've had several serum
treatments with severe reaction
at first, also several sulfanila
mide treatments with mild re
action. But headaches continue
every six days or so, as before.
Recently my doctor said: "I
wonder If what you thought
was typhoid 30 years ago was
not undulant fever Instead.
To make sure, I took a ty
phoid serum treatment and had
a severe reaction. The doctor
thinks that is further evidence
that I have had undulant fever
for 30 years.
Whatever it Is, my trouble
incapacitates me more or less,
but can do light work. Last
winter I began having lame
back, could do almost no work,
and of course laid it to my pet
undulant fever. Then came an
article of yours pointing out
that internal or "blind" piles
sometimes are the cause of
"lame back," "sciatica" or 'lum
bago." I showed it to my doc
tor, and on examination with
speculum he found several fair
ly large hemorrhoids. He sent
me to a specialist in . . . who
charged $10 for an examination
same as my own doctor made
for S3. The specialist said he
would fix me up for $150 plus
incidentals.

Three men who were principally
responsible for the third term
movement, members of the
White House inner circle the
palace guard have been pushed
out of the picture and will not
play important parts in the
presidential campaign. These are
Harry Hopkins, Harold Ickes and
Thomas G. Corcoran, the fabu
lous Tommy the Cork.
By all the rules of the game
this trio of hatchetmen should
be riding high and having much
to say about the conduct of the
campaign, but instead they are
being delegated to the back
ground, if not entirely elimi
nated as political strategists, and
this with the consent of Mr.
Roosevelt himself.
Whatever hope they may have
entertained of guiding the course
of their chief was shattered
when Edward J. Flynn. new na
tional committee chairman, in
sisted as one of the stipulations
of his acceptance of this Job that
he was to have a free hand, run
the show as his own Judgment
dictated and not be hampered
by White House insiders; also,
that whenever it is necessary to
consult with he president he,
Flynn, should have the heart-to-heart
talk with Mr. Roosevelt
personally and not have the con
sultation siphoned to him by any
of the palace favorites. To these
stipulations Mr. Roosevelt con
sented and in doing so he po
litely gave his closest advisers
the air.
However, Hopkins, Ickes and
Corcoran may participate in the
campaign, but if so it will be in
the background and in minor ca
pacities and theirs will not be
the glory and publicity which Is
their legitimate due for bring
ing about a convention of dele
gates pledged to nominate Mr.
Roosevelt fqr a third term and
to vote for anyone he wanted
for a running mate. Insofar as
they performed this service, and
with success, they are now sup
planted in the actual manage
ment of the campaign.
Corcoran is not the favorite
of the president that he was for
the past seven years. Off and on.
the Cork has had to take a back
seat, but has succeeded in re
establishing himself when his
particular qualities were needed.
Corcoran has not been around
the executive mansion for some
time. His last mission was as
messenger from the president to
induce Louis Johnson to return
to a place in the administration
after he was forced out as assist
ant secretary of war at the de
mand of Henry L. Stimson, the
republican appointed to war
secretary by Mr. Roosevelt.
Tommy chased Johnson to the
Bohemian Grove festivities in
California. But Johnson was ob
durate and is still peeved at his
abrupt dismissal. (He is said to
have been offered the position of
assistant secretary of commerce)
Around the first of the year
Corcoran will resume private
practice and sever his connection
with the government payroll.
Corcoran is a political amateur
and was responsible for Mr.
Roosevelt's attempt to purge
senators who refused to support
his court bill. The purge fizzled,
as Jim Farley predicted, but de
spite the display of bad political
Judgment. Mr. Roosevelt con
tinued to lean on Corcoran
rather than the sagacious Farley.
Harry Hopkins, who aJeo tinted the
purge, haa rMned aa secretary of
commerce at bis own Insistence, on
account of hla health. Urlng tn the
White House or at Hyde Park, he la
closer to Mr. Roosevelt than any
other man. Hopkins bossed the

but so much criticism wss leveled at
him that he has been removed from

THE best that can be said of
peace-time conscription (Just
adopted by the senate and now
up to the house of representa
tives) is that it is an abomina
tion made necessary by PRES
ENT conditions.
"THE attitude of all good Amerl-
cans toward peace-time con
scription should be:
"We will tolerate and support
conscription in time of peace
only as long as danger immi
nently threatens and will GET
RID OF IT at the earliest pos
sible moment when it is safe to
do so."
rvON'T fool yourself about
" peace-time conscription.
Getting rid of it will involve
a fight, just as adoption of it is
involving a fight. There are
many who believe that universal
military training is desirable as
a DISCIPLINE for Americans.
This writer doesn't so believe.
Military training (if it is to be
effective) requires the habit of
instant UNQUESTIONING obe
dience to orders. It involves the
idea of superiors and inferiors,
with the further idea that an in
ferior must not question the au
thority or the wisdom of a su
perior. These ideas, when forced on
us in peace time, are dangerous
to the American way of living.
JlORPHINE, administered in
' emergencies by competent
physicians, eases pain and saves
lives. Taken regularly by per
sons in normal health, it FORMS
DANGEROUS HABITS.
The same principle holds good
for conscription.
THE purpose of conscription is
national defense against
threatened danger. As such it
is sound.
But don't forget this:
The purpose of taxation is to
PROVIDE REVENUE for the le
gitimate needs of government,
yet in this country (increasingly
in recent years) we have seen
taxation used for all manner of
purrjoscs from redistribution of
wealth to punishment of indi
viduals who get in the bad graces
of THOSE IN POWER.
If we permit peace-time con
scription to become PERMA
NENT, we shall see it similarly
used to shape the nation and its
destinies and its way of living
according to the ideas of those
who happen to hold the reins of
power.
So let's be very sure it
DOESN T BECOME PERMA
NENT. Communications
Where Does Money Com From?
To the Editor:
I am not surprised at Mr. Dea
son's letter, but I am surprised
that an old campaigner like him,
should attempt to argue with an
editor, tut! tut! Mr. Deacon this
is not done that's all. and be
sides I have never known our
revered editor to make a mis
statement, and ou must know
that he must be always on the
qui vive. for critics, and often
he lays nice little traps for the
unwarj especially If he is in
need of Carters little liver pills
But Joking apart you will never
find our editor make an unfair
statement.
I heatily agree with the senti
ments expressed in your letter.
The present administration has
ruined more small business men
than any other since good old
Cleveland and god knows he
was not far behind. What our
editor really thinks I believe is
that the Roosevelt administra
tion has made more people so
cially competant at fourty-four
dollars per month, to the cost
of many million." of dollars, it
would not have been so bad if
these people had been paid fair
wages, and not been placed in
direct competition with the busi
ness man. they say of course that
this money has been spent
amongst the business men. pos
sibly that is true in a measure,
but for what? Cloths, overalls,
and food they have not had any
monev to buy anything else. .
Will some one kindlv tell us
where this money came from, it
could not have come from the
people, the treasury, and as yet
not from the taxes, where then
did it come from"
If the people suddenly decided
not to pay back these millions
what do you suppose would hap
pen? Do tell!

Hitler rides to glory
Like a gallarrt knight:
Moosy trots beside him
Scared to death to fight.
Stalin knives the horses
Friends and foes the same.
Lying two-faced Janus
Plays a wily game.
Churchill leads a crusade
With the faithless Turks;
Neptune's forked trident
Gives Heracles the works.
Hitler's quest for apples
Like Hercules of old
Must wTest from old Poseidos
The secret of their fold.
Atlas guards the passage;
Hitler takes the sky.
Stalin brings the apples
But passes Herky by.
Dumb old Atlas argued;
Herky won at that.
Now old Atlas wonders
Just where the hell he's at.
