The iweeptng and decisive re publican victory In the Maine election last Monday is viewed by the New Deal chieftains as only "a straw In the political winds." The results are nothing only a cyclone hit a haystack. It is strong testimony the nation In November will swap Secy. Ickes, Madame Perkins, et al. as well as horses in the middle of the stream. In Tuesday primaries the White house has something else it can smile about and flip away with a twist of the wrist. Sen. Ashurst of Arizona, an "in. .dispensable" rubber-stamp, will not be in the Senate when the roll is called next January.

The Worker and Mr. Willkie "Can you tell ma Just ona good reason why any work ing man should vota for Wendell Willkie:" EXTRACT from M. T. query. We can think of not only one good reason but many. However, to mention one, and to our mind the moBt important. There are now between eight and ten million un employed, a vast majority of them manual workers. Wouldn't each and every one of them prefer a steady job to being on relief? rOES anyone deny that in spite of spending 60 bil- lion dollars and creating the largest debt in the history of the modern world, President Roosevelt, in eight years, has COMPLETELY FAILED to solve the unemployment problem. Mr. Wendell Willkie says he can solve it. He would do so by promoting and assisting legitimate business, instead of persecuting and thwarting it All right, why not GIVE HIM A CHANCE? Unless the worker wants "four more years" of in creasing unemployment and increasing debt! Why shouldn't the working man, above all, be dis posed to give him a chance. And judging the future by the past, that is all four more years of the New Deal would amount to, for the worker or anyone else. Merely from the standpoint of material self-interest there is every reason for the American worker to vote for Wendell Willkie, and, as we see it, none to vote against. Escape From Madness MO doubt it's a common ' tent refusal to accept going on in Europe It just CAN'T be true. It's merely a ghastly night mare from which one .will soon awaken. That, at least, is often this department's mental reaction as what is actually going on, in and above London at the present time, I he largest city in the world being slowly blown to bits, with thousands of unoffending men, women and children non-combatants, shattered corpses in the wreckage, and this steady carnage not a matter of hours or days, but apparently a matter of weeks and months!

Per haps their parents were igno rant of the fundamental require ment of every infant for some such fruit Juice daily to prevent scurvy. Fresh raw milk con tains some vitamin C, perhaps enough to prevent sc.irvy in the Infant if the cows are on pasture. Boiled, sterilized, pasteurised, scalded canned, evaporated con densed milk contains little or none. Human breast milk con tains considerable provided the mother's diet Includes enough fresh fruit or fresh vegetables and greens. But sven the breast fed baby should receive some orange juice, ton ato Juice or other fresh fruit luice every day If only a teaspoonfu. or two mixed with a li.tle water or mixed in the feeding if the baby is bottle fed. It is the consensu of opinion today that an adequate intake of vitamin C, as in fresh fruit or factory canned fruit or tomato, trish and canned vegetables, and especially such fools as cabbage, turnip greens, dandelion greens, piriach, Brussels sprouts, kale end broccoli, as wli as the less important onions, parsnips, tur. nips, cauliflower, potatoes, ap ples and bananas. Is essential for the development of normal teeth and the preservation of healthy gums. Probably many Individuals whose diet for one reason or another is Unduly restricted and whose daily intake of vitamin C is therefore inadequate, suffer from manifestations of scurvy which they ascribe to everything but scurvy.

LaGuardia often says that "his happiest days" were spent as a member of the house and he is known to be eager to return to Washington. Barton sounded out the lead ers with a plan to offer La Guardia the Republican sena torial nomination. There was a great deal of grumbling from old-liners, who love LaGuardia almost as little as they love Roosevelt. But Willkie was not adverse to the proposal, and some feelers were put out to LaGuardia. For a time it seemrd as though the state leadership could be convinced with the argument bettor to have LaGuardia in the senate than four more years of Roosevelt. But the mayor did not respond to the hints No formal offer was made. It was feared that LaGuardia would refuse the nomination, but would announce that it had bcn offered him. And then, a few weeks ago, the president invited LaGuardia to head this coun try's delegation on the Vnited States-Canadian defense commis sion. LaGuardia accepted, and his name is now omitted from the Republican senatorial lists. new deal stra tegists Occam concerned over th poll showtnat th Republican j dl im 't leaotrajt in new tors, a anur .uiir , acvarat nrnmltwnt new dealers. he confidence of the president. proposed thst evn.tor Mead be named to a iith government Jon .mt t ouatMta d- substituted "1 Peir.ocr.tle -en.torl.l candidate The Idea .truck .p.r ark. see men . -, ..-..... -.. ....

IN appraising the news of the battle of Britain, don't fail to remember this: What is happening in London is WHAT HAS BEEN GOING TO HAPPEN ever sine the British elected to fight on alone. Any Idea that Hitler wouldn't do his worst has been merely wishful thinking. HITLER, as often stated in this column and elsewhere, has to beat Britain or lose preitige and he cant' afford to lose pres tige. MAINE, at her early election, goes strongly Republican mucjt more strongly, apparently, than In 1938. It used to be said that "as Maine goes, so goes tha nation." That ancient shibboleth of the politicians must now be quali fied by this addition: "If the na tion Is thinking as MAINE THINKS." Nobody knows how the nation as a whole is thinking because so many people ara keeping quiet. HPHE Republicans are crowing over the Maine election and the Democrats (New Deal) are poohpoohing. If the Republicans had had a narrow squeak in rock-ribbed Maine, the Democrats would be crowing and the Republicans would be pooh-poohing. Such Is (professional) politics. TTHIS writer.feels strongly that In this campaign politics means nothing and statesman ship and genuine patriotism MEAN EVERYTHING. Willkie talk (whatever politi cal talk may indicate) has been slipping noticeably in the past couple of weeks. That was inevitable. The tre mendous build-up Willkie re ceived in the two conventions simply couldn't last. If you want to understand why, try cheering and throwing up your hat for two weeks straight. There are physical limitations to such expressions. Slowing down of Willkie talk doesn't necessarily mean slow ing down of Willkie enthusiasm. AS the campaign progresses, it becomes apparent that Will kie is no superman for which this writer is deeply thankful. Lincoln, who brought us safely through our greatest crisis, was no superman. He was Just an honest, sincere American, with an abiding faith in the Tightness of the American way, and an utter lack of faith in wand-waving and miracle working. Supermen are spectacular and DANGEROUS. . Ye Poets Corner Sorters In Pear-a dit. (Dedicated to all the Sorters In Rogue River Valley.) Tall and short, fat and small, A sorting crew enfolds them all.

Prosecution was delayed at the request of the commission, which feared 1U effect on the national defense program, but Trust Buster Arnold is not ona wil linalv to abandon what he con ceived to be his special function In the new deal. The career of Mr. Arnold I on of th most anomalous of any In th new deal t-up. He was not alway an dvocte of th program which h I now following so energetically. A 1st a 1934-1937 h wrote a book In which the Sherman anti-trust act (Chief Justice Hughe once termed It the "charter of economic freedom"! waa described a a "preaching device" and th assertion mad that trust ara a soclsl necessity like prostitu tion. Like other of th new 4el personnel, however, Mr. Arnold eem not to be embarrassed by his previ ous convictions. Prom th itandpolnt of publicity, th sensational act of Trust-Buster Arnold was th securing of Indict ments against Pittsburgh contractor and trade association and hi Inclu sion of labor unions In suit charging collusion In th building trades. Next In sensation value, perhapa, waa bis disclosure that certain articles essen tial to national defense were being produced by American firm under patent right held Jointly with Ger man manufacturers and that royal ties were being paid regularly to these Bide partners In Nazidom. Mr. Arnold' division of the Justice department ha been amply financed by appropriations and thl generosity would seem to have been Justified by his report that he has obtained Judg ment totaling S3.4al.000 in fines, In cluding the Pittsburgh cases. He ha attacked high and low in hi charges of collusion contrary to public Inter est and la not at all concerned a to where the chip may fall. a a a MUCH unnecessary fuss waa made In congress over bills the purpose of which allegedly waa to protect na tional defense plans In case of refusal of manufacturers to cooperate accept ably In the handling of army and navy orders. There really waa no oc casion for new legislation on the subject for the reason that th gov ernment already had authority to take over control of any Industry the management of which is held to be Uggard In patriotic duty. Still on th books 1 a law enacted during the Wilson administration conferring the same powera, in effect, upon the president aa those requested In recently Introduced bills. Only last June a bill was passed and signed by President Roosevelt authorizing tn president to commandeer "any existing manufacturing plant or fa cility necessary for th national de fense." Anyway, both th effort and the objections were Immaterial, since In time of real emergency It would be come necessary to cloth the execu tive department with this authority 11 it din not exist and It is certain that. In face of actual warfare, con gress would not hetltst to perform an ODVioua duty. THE! lateat sensational new In the political field comes not from Repub lican or Democratic national head quarter, nor even from the national capital, but from New York city, where the Italian consul recently notified th publisher of an Italian language newspaper that unless he repudiated Roosevelt. Italian organi sations would boycott not only his paper but the product of Its adver tisers. Th thret was effective and the paper haa announced It support of willkie. The lieutenant governor of New Tk and two court Justices hve been similarly threatened. It Is not. of course, thought by nyone that Republican leaders or j Mr. Willkie waa In any manner re- mi. iiii-ninerican Dlack mall.

To the Editor: A comparison between the September election In Maine for 1936 for United States senator, as compared with the election In 1940, was that in 1936 White, the Republican candidate for United States senator, received 158,068 votes and Brann, the Democratic candidate, received 153,420 votes, giving a majority for the Republican candidate of less than 5.000. In 1940 the Re publican candidate for United States senator in Maine received a majority of 45,000 votes. Also, it is significant that In 1938 the Republican candidate for governor in Maine received 157.206 votes and the Demo cratic candidate received 139. 745 votes, being less than 17. 000 majority. This year the Republican candidate for gov ernor gets a majority of 70,000 votes. The above figures for 1938 and 1938 are taken from the World's Almanac. Gus Newbury. Knitting to Tropics. Singapore.
