Peace of mind will do more to Insure a propitious be ginning of the day than any product of a Washington stand ardization bureau, seeking to regulate the tastes and habits of the American nation, possibly with a view of regimenting the orange or grapefruit crops, or the supply of eggs and break fast bacon. Rationing has al ready Involved those necessi ties of civilized life In a hope less tangle from which only a wholesale reduction in the num ber of bureaucrats can rescue us." (New York Hcrald-Trib-ximY. The Left Or the Right? Stanley High has an article in the current "Post" entitled "Why the Left Wing f ears Dewey." It is well worth reading and essentially true. The Left Wine DOES become President, left-wingers, potential dynamiters and all the long-haired theoretical and revolutionary ilk would be out of jobs And after all, left-wingers are human. They want jobs and good paying jobs A ND the radical ones also want a complete change ?n fVio AmoviVan fnrm a socialist form and the canitalistic nrivate-profit Thev could continue to 4 more vears of Roosevelt. a dead stop under four years of Ltovernor Dewey. So thev are all out in force to "GET" the Republi can candidate and assure answer to their political Roosevelt. This is the general theme of the author while this is his conclusion: But the leaders of those embattled forces who, this year, have gone all out to entrench a different America are not simple fellows. They have been getting us ready for such a year as this for some time. They believe with some reason thut they have got somewhere in the business of plowing tinder America's belief In America of destroying the con fidence of Americans in themselves and in one another. They hope the country is ripe for the sort of alien, Government-dominated system of life they want. Only Tom Dewey seriously disturbs their dreams. They saw him coming a long time ago, and in this autumn of 1944 he alarms them more than ever. . . CO far so eood. But when Mr. High goes on to maintain, by im plication at least, that the outstanding issue in this campaign is between those who believe in destroying the American form of government and those who believe in maintaining it; between the country going on to four more years of the socialistic New Deal, or turning back to the nigged and individualistic Old One the good old days, when men were men and women put on diamond dog-collars for breakfast well it isn't quite as bad "NLY a small minority in this country seeks by , revolution to destroy the American form of democratic government, and no- matter who is elect ed, they will never get to first base, in the next four years or the next fourteen. But there is a detinue tween the Republican and Democratic parties as a whole as to the proper course to take to best preserve our democracy in this rapidly changing and increas ingly perplexing world. PRESIDENT Roosevelt does believe more and more regimentation is necessary, more and more gov ernment in business, turning more and more to the left. Governor Dewey on the other hand believes in less regimentation, less and ness, in turning more and The Democrats claim the Republicans claim if the former IS done, if the New Dealers continue on their down hill socialistic path ultimate destruction of the ment can t be avoided. Which side is wrong, which is right? That is one of the important questions the voters will be called upon to decide 3 or 4 weeks hence ! The Real Issue As a postscript to the above, it is the conviction of this department that whichever party wins November ith a certain amount of what has become known as regimentation will continue. Not because anyone particularly likes it, but be cause it will be found the security of the modem in dustrial world demands it. In other words, whether cood old days of aboslute !ged and unregulated individualism everyone for himself and the devil take the hindmost have gone and in all liklihood, never will return. e . DUT there is this difference between the Republi u can and Democratic parties when the nature of that future economic course is considered and a very important difference. There is no reason to doubt the Democrats under Roosevelt if returned to power will continue to act upon one basic assumption, namely: that business for profit, big or little is suspect. Let any fair-minded person review the past decade, and this suspicion, this distrust of business ANY business will run without a break through all the New Deal philosophy. And as a result of that suspicion, there has been the inevitable product of suspicion and distrust, namely, hostility. And if the Roosevelt administra tion is continued for 4 more years that hostility toward business will continue. THE Republican doctrine is basically different. A Business is not regarded as essentially wrong, or inheriently wicked. As long as it obeys the law and behaves itself, it will not be attacked and intimi dated and blackmailed. In other words it Governor Dewey is elected, he will cooperate with business, not give business any special privileges or allow any excessive profits but give it encouragement, a free rein under the law, and a square deal. I For nearly 12 years, business, big or little, has not ihad that sort of friendly attitude from the govern ment. e believe it would not only be good for busi ness but gooil for the country and all the people in it, to vote for a change that would give it to them. fear Dewey, for if he should political jobs at least. as much as anyone. nf trnvprnmpnt ThpV want destruction of the so-called system. make some headway with They could be brought to 16 consecutive years for the prayers, Franklin Delano or as simple, as that. issue in this campaign be less government in busi more to the right. latter can t be done.

It Is being sub jected to se vere study here as else- where. Yet there Is every present pros I'aul Mallon pect that the unfinished pro posal will be approved not only by a majority but a safe two- thirds of the senate on the fol lowing grounds: e THE formula Is based on the T.onftitA ctf Mnflnne ihnnrv nf running the world. Some tech nical changes do not alter the basic theme that a world coun cil will Investigate aggressors and Impose sanctions (economic and social as well as military) to deter the pugnacious. The language has the same ring as the league covenant, which directed its council to take action deemed wise and effectual to safeguard the peace of nations," and in article X said: 'The members of the league undertake to respect and pre serve against external aggres sion the territorial integrity and existing political independence of all members of the league . . ." 'The assembly may from time to time advise . . . the consid eration of international condi tions whose continuance might endanger the peace of the world." e TTHIS proposal Is the league plus the Kollogg-Briand pact renouncing war, the world court of Justice and the disarma ment conference with really only one critical difference. This time the United States Is to un dertake leadership of the all-rolled-lnto-one world program along with Russia and Britain particularly. This leadership Is to replace Anglo-French leadership of the old league in which Russia was a trivial influence. The cast changes but the ideal of the play is not altered materially and the script only pointed up. This theory of peace has be come popular because of a pre vailing notion that the reason that the league failed was be cause the United States did not join in its influence. IT Is not my purpose to take a position on the matter, only to report how it proposes to work. The Incomplete agreement is like the charter of a club, a world club pledged to peace. This club is to be controlled largely by an executive commit tee called "the security council." The composition of the com mittee does not suggest that any one, either the United States or Russia, will wield greater influ ence. Five permanent members are to be the big five united na tions, but in the voting six more rotating members from smaller notions will furnish the numeri cal majority on whichever side they go. The all-Important details ol the voting have not been agreed upon (whether unanimity is nec essary for action), but as the agreement now stands, the com plexion of the council will de pend on the hue of the smaller nations chosen for the one, two and three-year terms. e THIS council cannot Itself wage war, but can call upon tho United Nations to wage practically anything from social isolation of a nation to Invasion. The council is to be always ready for action, although no provisions for housing it arc mentioned. I would think it would be established in Wash ington for this reason: The league was largely a Euro pean device. This is to be a world device. To choose some small neutral place such as Swit zerland, or to use the old league buildings there, would subject It to the old unsatisfactory sur roundings In which it was un successful, Washington Is the na tural background for its new tone and Intent. GUITAR PLAYER UPHELD Pittsburgh, Oct. 12 dj.Ri A man's right to play n guitar in his home was upheld In court here, when Robert G. MeCay. 2ti-year-old wnr worker, sought n divorce against his wife. Me Cay complained that his wife revolted against his guitar strumming so much that she struck him with her fists, ash trays, brooms and finally with the guitar itself. The famous song "Down by the Old Mill Stream" refers to the Blanchard River running through Fremont, O. It was written by Toll Taylor, who was born on a farm near Fremont in 187H and lived there until his death in 1937.
