New Deal moguls plan "a
glow of holiness" over the forth
coming Chicago convention,
plus dramatic glamour. No
doubt, as in 1940, the Chicago
superintendent of sewerj will
be down in the basement with a
loud speaker, quoting Scripture
between bawls for a Fourth
Term for the White House oc
cupants F.R. and Harry Hop
kins.

Sen. Holman, on his honey
moon, is combining business
with pleasure on his honeymoon
and again displaying his admir
able, and at times, astonishing
candor. Says he: "It li our
plan to proceed at once to Ore
gon by automobile, which will
permit me to visit officially as
a member of the Senate Mili
tary Affairs Committee, a num
ber of military establishments
en route."
In these days of gasoline ra
tioning, this is apt to produce
some caustic comment, and a
caustic retort from the senator.
He at least was elected to some
thing by the vote of the people,
Is not a chronic gadfly on gov
ernment gas.
The summer sun Is shining
bright and warm, and the allo
cation of the shade, as usual, Is
on the wrong side of the street.
KEEP YOUR SHIRT ON

"Scores of men and women,

scattered in confusion yester
day when OPA agents 'raid

rugged hills above Sonoma."
Next Monday, not last Mon
day, as erroneously stated here
in, Is the 28th anniversary of
Jerry Jerome, looking a preach
er in the eye.
Farmers have started dc

COOL BUT UNCOLLECTED
(Falls City (Neb.) Journal)

wool winter dress and had a
corsage of American Beauty

chrysanthemums and white

"The groom wore his U. S.
Navy snapdragons."
The world money parley In
New Hampshire is now under
way, discussing world trade,
world prosperity, and how to
stop wars. No war would start,
let alone continue, if during
one, there was no money profit
to be raked In. The Intcrnation
al hot-shots In grand assembly
as yet have not tackled this an
gle, and never will. Neither
will any figures be issued on
the number of millionaires cre
ated by the current struggle.
Hoy fever and poison oak
cures are a leading topic of con
versation, and both afflictions
are plentiful. Both can be
fought with anything but whis
key, which only makes them
worse. Several of the fair sex
have poison oak In the middle
of a fashionable sunburn, and
the cross Is almost too much to
bare.

Word now comes the Ger

them by the hundreds, to prove

Editorial Correspondence
Rockford, 111., July 3. Ouch, It's starting to warm up againl
But at least there Is no convention hall, full of the genus homo
at 98.6 degrees to reinforce Old Sol.
In fact here one can get under a tree on the banks of Rock river
and fish for cat-fish, which is about as cool and restful a sport
as can be imagined.
For there is nothing to do but wait. If you nod off that's ok
for when you wake up the catfish will still be on the hook if
he ever was on it. And If he never WAS on It well you haven't
lost anything by your brief sojourn to bye-bye land, and gained
some rest.
v
The only hard work In fishing for "cat" Is getting the hook out
The "cat" unlike any other fish except perhaps the whale, doesn't
dash at the bait and try to make way with it. He looks it over
carefully, decides it is something he wants and proceeds to swal
low it. And he really does swallow it.
The worry is then with the fisherman not with the "cat . For
the cat's sensibilities are about as acute as those of a cast-iron
hitching post, and he is about as hard to kill. We threw a
bullhead on a river pier once upon a time, he dozed there all
night and when we brushed him off the next morning, he floated
on his back for about half a minute, then turned over slowly
and swam leisurely awayl
For late arrivals we might remark this is the old home-town,
long-time subscribers don't need to be reminded of it!
There is really no substitute for the place where you were porn
and spent your youth. It is in your blood-stream and never gets out.
But as the years go on, the place changes more and more, and
the old friends become fewer and fewer, the rather pleasing
nostalgic note becomes at times a bit too depressing.
We arrived yesterday for example and the first man we called
on, was not In his office and would be out all day because:
"His brother's wife died and ho is attending the funeral."
Her name was Adeline Adams. Forty years have passed into the
eternal limbo since we last saw "Sweet Adeline", and it was a
very sad parting, for usl For she was a smiling and exuberant
bride, and we did not even rate an usher's Job. "Addie" was our 'nessarlly mean describing what
to me as follows: "How can
this spiritual power or God's
: Rays as you call It be devel
i oped and harnessed? It is not
enough for preachers, priests and
rabbis to talk about it; let them
show us how to get it and use
it." It is probably true that we
have generalized too much and
too long about spiritual power.
The time has come to be
practical.
C. F. Kettering vice-presi
dent in charge of research of
General Motors once brought
to my attention that electricity
was talked about as far back as
2,500 years ago. It was in 600
B. C. that a Greek philosopher,
Thales of Miletus, found that by
rubbing amber he could develop
a force to pick up straws. Even
300 years ago experiments were
made by William Gilbert in Eng
land and Von Guerecke in Ger
many which caused electricity
to be talked about as the "com
ing power." Yet nothing prac
tical was attempted until Frank
lin flew his kite in 1746 and
Faraday built his toy motor in
182S. Then came Morse with his
telegraph, Bell with the tele
phone, Edison with his lamp, and
Marconi with radio waves.
Spiritual Adventures
Should B. Encouraged
It truly seems that the harnes
sing of spiritual waves the
seeds of integrity, initiative and
inspiration is where electricity
was 100 years ago. If so, the
greatest need of the postwar era
is to teach people where to find
spiritual power and how to use
it. (Mind you! This does not
act which permits national banks
to engage in a general banking
business; the national labor re
lations act; the minimum wage
and maximum hour in industry
law; Bonneville, Grand Coulee,
Shasta, Tennessee Valley Au
thority and like projects, etc.
If these things are so inimical
to the liberties of the American
people, why did not the .Repub
lican party at Chicago frankly
offer to restore the liberties of
the people (as Hoover, Dewey
and all the others so vigorously
asserted they would) by propos
ing to abandon or repeal all
these things, or at least some of
them?
The Republican party had a
great chance last week to come
out f lat - footedly against the
things they complain of, thus
making a clean cut issue for the
voters, so they could take their
choice. The party leaders de
clined the risk, thus leaving
their own party without a valid
issue in this campaign.
That this is a factual state
ment and not the expression of
personal political opinion is
clear to any one who will ex
amine the record made by the
Republicans themselves.
Very truly yours,
RAWLES MOORE.
first love, and there is also no substitute for THAT. There was
an old song we sang to Addie to a guitar accompaniment that went
romcthing like this:
"Doris, Doris, oh how I love you,
See me at your feet;
Doris, Doris, if you but loved me;
Life would be complete!"
(What inane, sub-adolescent songs they had in those days!), i
"Doris" listened from her upper window In true Juliet style,
so did the horse, and Judging by the results neither liked what
they heard
The horse bolted, the .buggy hit a rock, the guitar fell out on
the campus grass, (This took place at Rockford college about 1898)
and Addie pulled down her window and the curtain followed,
we always suspected to hide her derisive laughter.
Well we tried to treat it as a great Joke when we next met and
for several weeks it provided conversation at college gatherings,
but that ended the romance as, far as "JULIET" was concerned.
She went East to school soon after and married one of the older
boys when she came back. We never tried the Romeo role, with or
without guitar accompaniment, since!
So "Rcquiescat in peace."
If we had only waited a few years and tried it in a HORSELESS
carriage think how differently things would have turned out, or
WOULD they?
Later: Have Just returned from a motor trip down to a couple
of Aunt A's farms, near Oregon, Oregon, Illinois, one of the most
fertile and beautiful sections of the Rock River valley.
Jack Spalding, formerly of S.O.S., was born down there, and
the late Governor Lowdcn and Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormlck
Simms have show places there, not far from where Abraham
Lincoln commanded a company in the war against Black Hawk.
We have written often of the beauties of this section 6f Illinois,
but never has the country been as RAVISHINGLY beautiful as it
is now, thunks to a record breaking rainfall followed by record
breaking heat.
Did we say something about corn knee-high by the Fourth of
July when we came through Nebraska? Well, this is the Fourth
and the corn is ALM06T "as high as an elephant's eye," and
that rich daik green, mile after mile of it. Also alfalfa, red clover,
soy-beans, timothy and vetch, white-faced calves, Holstoins and
Hcrcfords, pigs as big as colts, chickens, ducks, yes and one strut
ting China pheasant cock! Who acted as If he had done it all!
But, and this is the Gospel we wouldn t LIVE permanently
here if they gave us the place, unless the law compelled us to,
say a few miles south of here, at Jollct! (Jolict, incidentally, is
tho Sucker state's "Sing-Sing.")
Everyone here asks us what we thought of the convention.
We thought it was terrible, unbearably hot, uninteresting, a
washout, etc., etc., etc., upon which all faces drop for, as has
often been stated, this section of Illinois has gone Democratic
but once since the Civil War!
Then we remark casually, that the big surprise of the conven
tion as far is the undersigned was concerned was Dewey the man,
the young, energetic and smart ex-District Attorney of New York,
who plainly knew what it was all about.
All the faces light up, at least the faces we have met.
It Is really rather amusing, this last stronghold of the Old Guard
of the G.O P. We know several prominent citizens around here
who would cheerfully give a check for $100,000 to the Republican
national committee it the latter would guarantee defeat for a
certain gentleman by the name of Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
But they would demand a surety bond to support it! the Rockford
stalwarts have plenty of money but they never take a chance
with it! R.W.R.

Spiritual Awakening
Is Graduates Need
Those who have Just graduated
from high schools and colleges
should especially heed the
thoughts I have presented. You
may have got marks of 100 per
cent in every subject and still
be as useless as "sounding brass
or tinkling cymbal." You may
well find yourselves priceless
wotches without springs, twelve
cylinder motors without gas or
burglar-proof locks without
keys.
In fact, I feel so strongly
about this entire matter that I
believe the greatest of all post
war needs is a spiritual awaken
ing. If so, we all should make
our primary task the discovering
of methods of harnessing God's
Rays which are now all about us
but practically unused. Then the
greatest changes ahead may not
be in connection with aviation
or plastics or chemistry but in
connection with those intangible
forces which develop Integrity,
initiative and inspiration.

(Special Correspondence)
Watches without springs, motors
without gas, or locks without
keys ore of little use. This is the
situation today with tho Com
mittee on Economic Develop
ment and most committees which
are studying postwar employ
ment plans. It also explains one
trouble with our schools and col
leges. The committees and col
leges are neglecting the spiritual
urge which the Prophet Isaiah
wrote about In tho first three
verses of his Chapter 31.
Emphaili N.aded
On Scl.nttllc Basis
Springs without machines, gas
without motnrs and keys with
out locks are, likewise, of little
use. This Is the situation today
with most churches and preach
ers. They fail to emphasize the
scientific basis for their teach
ings and also fail to apply spiri
tual power to practical every
day life. Any religion which
does not express Itself in right
living and social relations is of
little use.
The postwar plmnlng commit
lees and present day educational
and religious Institutions need
of spiritual power and Just social
relations. To continue to Ignore
such will certainly result in
10,000.000 to 15,000,000 un
employed In tho U. S. after the
short postwar boom is over.
Malarial Pow.r
Is Not Sufflcl.nt
Land, labor and capital are
material, while Integrity, initia
tive and inspiration are spiritual
powers. They may either be in
herited or acquired; but at all
hazards they must be recognized
in successful planning. This ap
plies to national planning and to
the planning of our own personal
lives as Individuals.
Even land, labor and capital
can be used to destroy or to con
struct, according to the Integrity,
initiative and inspiration of
those who have the land, labor
and capital. Hence, I call these
three spiritual powers the
"Threejs of Success." I have In
mind both Individual and na
tional success.

To the editor:
If the Issues of the day were
no. of such gravity, the straits
to which the Republican party
has been reduced would be
highly amusing.
In 1940, in desperation, they
nominated a Democrat who ran
for the office of president on a
straight endorsement of the New
Deal, while the old guard, the
Inner guard, and many of the
rank and file, berated the New
Deal continually.
During the four years since
then, the New Deal has been an
object of scorn and ridicule by
an unending and ever Increasing
anvil chorus.
At Chicago last week, several
long days were spent in con
demning, castigating, and abus
ing the New Deal and all its
works. And not by irresponsible
nobodies, but by the leaders of
the party: Hoover, Luce, Spang
ler, Warren, Bricker, Dewey.
Then the GOP adopted a plat
form and submitted it, to the
American voter as the party's
principles, in which there is no
offer to repeal or abandon a sin
gle portion of the much-maligned
New Deal,' according to the di
gest of the platform printed on
the front page of The Mall Trib
une June 28. 1944.
Now, the New Deal is not a
mere name, or some mysterious
evil. It consists merely of var
ious acts of congress, regularly
passed and now on the statute
books. Any one, or all, of them
can be repealed at any time at
the pleasure of congress and the
signature of the president. Just
to mention a few: The securities
the above and exchange act; the social se-
and laboricurity laws (old age Insurance

London, July 7 (U.R) Two
congressmen who vowed, so
help them, that their visit was
not political, arrived in London
today after working their way
across the Atlantic as ordinary
seamen aboard a merchant ship.
They were Rep. Hugh Scott,
Philadelphia, Pa., and Gordon
Canfield, Paterson, N. J. both
are Republicans.
They came on their own time
and expense with the blessings
of both leaders of the house,
they said, to study the merchant
marine and postwar aviation
problems.
Came The Hard Way
"This is no Junket." Scott
said. "We came the hard way
as working seamen."
They traveled aboard a tank
er loaded with high octane avia
tion gasoline.
"We didn't know what we
were shipping on until we got
aboard and then I was damned
scared," Scott said.

names but only the captain
knew they were congressmen.

I "But that didn't cut any ice
with them when they learned,"
Scott said. "They kept on caning
us Scotty and Gordon and said
if they got down to Washington
they'd drop in for a meal."
Polished Brass
Scott was listed as "midships
utility" and Canfield as "aft
utility."
"We polished a hell of a lot of
bright stuff and swabbed deck,"
Scott explained. Canfield
amended: "We worked like
hell."
