SU ICIDAL CHANCES Accounts of suicides usually indi cate a preference for the qnlckest and easiest way out of life. An exception comes from Cuba In a recent report stating that «5 girls, from 1« to 23 years o f age. committed suicide in Havana during a three-week period because they were disappointed in love or tired of living.

They have placed their faith and confl- dence in the leaders which they hare charged to head our government. Now that he democrats are in paw er ____ again, they are facing a very dif île nit t a ik T ln 'fact, they are^Vacing the most dificult task ever experien- ced by a new administration. A il over the nation, the democrats have been victorious in their conquest. The sen- ate and the house are controlled by the democrats. The victors are Jubi- lant. because the country has recog- nixed their candidates and their poll- cies, due to the unsatisfactory admin- is t rat ion just closed. The democrat* are on trial. If they make good, they will probably be in power much long- er than the administration just cho- sen. 0j W h en president Hover knew hts defeat, he sent a telegram to Gov. Roosevelt saying: " I wish for you a most successful administration, in the common purpose of all of us, 1 shall dedicate myself to every pos- sible helpful effort.” Great sports- manship was shown in that message. If every one accepts defeat llkt that and holds no malice, It would be bettre for the common good. Let us all manifest that spirit and turn our hands twoard the wheel and help the democrats to a glorious su c -1 cess. FREO L. OLSON. RE ELECTED DISTRICT JUDGE ASHBY C.
