Stopping at a little farm to get a drink, the correspondent asked the peasant who lived there on which side he was. The peasant said bluntly that he was on neither side. He only hoped that both sides would getting the fight ing over with and go home, so that he could go ahead with his job of getting the crops in; and he wound up by wishing an eternity of bad luck on all generals and armies that insist on holding battles on someone's farm land. This peasant probably was a woefully undereducated person with no understanding of the great issues of the day, and whichever dictatorship finally succeeds in fast ening itself on Spain probably will shoot him one of these days. But he did manage to voice humanity's age-old Complaint against war it gets in the way of the work that has to be done. " HE has had brothers on every battlefield in all history, and they all got the worst of it when the drums began to beat. The stolid Belgian who farmed La Have Sainte on the plain by Waterloo, the Pennsylvanian who owned the famous Peach Orchard at Gettysburg, the Danish trawler who honed to take a few fish from the Skagerrack on that May afternoon in 1916 to these people, as to this Spanish peasant, armies and battles are an unmitigated nuisance and the work of the world would go forward a lot faster if they were abolished. And although it may be heresy to suggest it, these people are probabW quite right. Human civilizaffn is a strange growth, and we do not entirely understand how it got started or how it does manage, in spite of obstacles, to keep progressing; but it is very clear that its base is the worker and not the warrior, the man who produces rather than the man who destroys. CIVILIZATION, that is, does not rest on a base of vs armies and navies: it rests on the backs of the men who work with their hands, in field or in shop, and it will last just as long as they go on holding it up. They are a greater procession, in the long pages of history, tkm all the hordes of warriors that ever followed a arum. They move without glory and without battle flags, poets do not immortalize them and the history books omit their names. But for unnumbered generations they have gone on, tempering the earth to man's habitation, making possible all the graces of living which lift man above-the level of the beasts. The far-called armies melt away, and thjs winds carry off the crash of their battles. The plain man at the bottom is eternal, and he has the world and all its hopes in his keeping. He makes possible Shakespeare and Beethoven, the Taj Mahal and Rheims cathedral, and all the glory and marvel of which human effort is capable. And if, with all of this, he wearily asks the fighting men to get the heck out of the way so that he can go on with his job is he asking too much? They Call It .l Politics SIDE GLANCE S- ci.ru By rAHTKH VKl,U WASHINOTON, August 1 President Roosevelt wa enorm ously pleased with the general reception of hli acceptance pooch at Philadelphia. Those who muitt mpport him i tor party remilarlty reasons hut who have been hoping he would bit more conservative If reelected the itroup following Senators Glass, llyi'd, Tyillnua nnd Adnma were distressed. And the rad ical trlngo was delighted. The thought ot comparing the. Itew'doat tight against capital of against Investments, if you pleas to the fight ot the ool- ottlata against British royal dom ination came to the president almost At the last moment. Ho did not prepare his speech, much In advance, and It la pretty near ly an accident that he took this particular tack, It all grew out ot the fuss and furor that waa kicked up when announcement waa made, a little more thnn a month ngo, that the president would make his trip to Texae and other states at a time when the republican na tional convention would bo In progress. It waa charged he was trying to steal that convention's publicity, to deprive it ot Its normal share ot front page news paper display, not to mention radio broadcasting and news paper picture sections. So he announced that on that trip he would make "historical talks," going Into the history ofj the sections he visltod. He not only did, but found some very adroit ways of work ing good political arguments into them. In fact, he was so successful that when he cam to write the Philadelphia speech his mind naturally grooved itself In 'iifeytinL Its "I ctm'l l';f to wiislo iiiiyihinn, We're ninn to use til) this month's lickots II' wo Imvo lo m buck nnd forth nil titty." a historical channel. Whereupon th Fourth of July Independence hall. Liberty Bell theme song was conceived. I But the conservative demo-1 crats wer Yery unhappy as a re- j suit. For, once embracing that j tbeme, the president went a great deal further, by Inference, than he has ever gone before. Just aa, In th platform, which of course he dictated, he went a great deal further with regard to TVA than he has ever gone before. In fact, he approved language which might have been disquieting to the supreme court In his TVA decision. For Instead of talking about "Incidental" power, th president had the platform boast about th "yard stick" which would tore electric rates down, and make electric current cheaper to all con sumers. Naturally the fadlcal fringe was highly pleased. They had been somewhat disturbed at the soft-pedaling of their leaders at Philadelphia the complete blackout of Dr. Tugwell, the fail ure to mention Prof. Frankfurter, the absence ot most of the so- called Brain Trusters. But a few hours before the president was accepting the nomination Secretary of Agriculture Wallace was telling an audience that competition- must go, even In manufacturing, eventually, and that collective and cooperatives were th thing! that opposed sumo ot the presi dent more radical Ideas, and lire likely to oppose others til the future. The cleavage Is more likely to show Itself In the house, which has beeti nearly let) per cent docile fur four jears, hut which threatens to be close, and hence highly Independent, ns a result ot the approaching election. (Copyright, 1936) Popeye Club Uttia' 'Stories About Klamath Boys and Girl Editorials on Newt (Continued From Pas On) tlent and trie to pas th can ahead, dangerous, situation is created. tvH'AT can be dona about ItT " Well, It Isn't probable thai anything very effective can be done about It. In the big cities, a driver who was holding up traf fic for blocks by driving too slow ly would hear about It in no un certain terms from the nearest traffic cop, but in th small cities we can't afford a traffic cop at ev ery block. But if people who feel inclined to poke along Main street at five miles an hour (as many do) would Just remember that they ar un necessarily holding up and dis commoding a lot of other people, It would help. 11 JAIN STREET, 111 Klamath 1Y1 Falls, Is in many ways the most commodious artery of travel for getting from one end of town to the other. In that respect, it ll Bomewhat similar (in a small way, of course) to Market street, In San Francisco. We Can't afford to widen it, In order to make It carry more traffic, for the cost would be prohibitive. But Main street will carry materially more traffic if the traffic will move a little faster. IT LAMATH AVENUE Is now a through street, save for the Intersection at Sixth. But several ot the streets entering It are open from one side. That is to say, drivers entering Klamath' Iron these streets are not required to top. ' It seems to this writer It would bo better If Klamath avenue were a full stop street, except at Sixth. The streets (Seventh and Eighth, for example) where enrs are per mitted to enter from one side Without stopping become danger points If traffic on Klamath speeds I All ot which spella a much wider cleavage In the democratic party, next year, assuming that Roosevelt Is reelected. For be yond the shadow ot a doubt there would have been more than SI deraocratto senators opposed to that tax bill, aimed so sharp ly at corporations, had the presi dent and Wallace made their speeches before Instead ot after that fmal vote In th senate. There la not much Indication of any sweeping change In the senate, along conservative versus radical lines, In this election. Such few democratic senators as are In danger this year are mostly. It happens, of the group Carolyn Davis, age 9, lives In the country. A letter from her fays: "I am sorry when 1 hnve to miss a Popeye matinee be cause we live out ot town, but we are going to move to town soon and I won't have to miss so many." Carolyn also says that he will not take a trip this summer because they have decld-! ed to stay home and take car ot the garden and flowers. POPEYE John Boyor tellt of an exclt-. Ing adventure he recently had, : nnd It sounds like John wns : lucky to be able to swim good. He says: "I was out on a raft with another hoy at Lake o' the Woods. We were quit a ways out. I had my clothes on. I slipped off Into the water and had to swim to shore." ; POPEYE I Here is a member of the club that Is quite the young business lady. She Is Dora Jean Gibson, j age 11. and writes: "Was very busy this week. I sold seven crates of strawberries to Ellon ' Redford'a father. Carolyn Davis sold three crates, also." That's good business, Dora Jean, and remember that pennies mad : and saved now mean dollars to j you later.
