It always was and always will he It believes in praise where praise Is duo and It maintains the right to criticize those things that In Us Judgment are blameworthy. Certain new ideas that have emlnated from Washington during the past live years have been excellent; the! CCC camps have been one of the flu est constrnctlve forces for good this country lias ever seen The inercaso of the army and the navy to a size comparable with the safety of the nation Is admirable.

There was some confusion attendant with placing the ring on the last stand, but after one false start, Mr. Kales reined his beautiful black I'atent Heather Kid and charged down the course Just as the third ring was being put In position. "Clad in shining blue, Mr Kates took two runs In addition to the Initial three required to eliminate three rivals. They also scored perfect counts in the first three tries.

General News Notes resident Roosevelt sent a message to congress on Monday, in which ho | told the body to try to figure out ways of curing the ills of the $21,000,000,000 [railroad network of the country.

I believe the forSjer trio would atack Japan now, usifig Japan's China policy as a pretext, ^ it they could be sure of American sup- , port. H?-nce, the United States is the ] decisive factor."
