Governor Roosevelt’s smile has got
ten on the nerves of the opposition.
Well, so did T. R.’s.
Paradoxical as it may seem, many
^people who once owned automobiles
are now walking, but they’re not yet
on their feet.
Secretary. Doak says that the kw
ernment “has prevented serious de
clines in waKes.” Meaning those
paid by the government?
Hoover and his cohorts would have
u* believe that, but for the fiuntic
efforts of the Republican party, we
would have had a panic during the
pest three years!
President Hoover whimper? at the
alleged unfair campaign tactics of
hi g opponents, and then proceeds to
indulge in gross misstatements and
misrepresentations.
The estimated cash income of Ohio
farmer's in 1932 was $144,000,000 as
compaied with $344,000,000 in 1020,
according to a news item, which is
one of the many reasons why Frank
lin D. Roosevelt is going to be elect-
i
ed President on November Hth.
abled to control 80 per cent, of the
wealth of this country.
The People-Sentinel does not ad
vocate a boycott of Ford cars and
automobile tires made by certain
manufacturers, but it would not be
surprising tb see some such action
taken. The people are not in the
mood to take orders from those who
have consistently fooled and filched
them in the past.
Nobody’s Business
By Gee McGee. *
If I Were A Czar.
1 If I were a Czar of the United
States, but I ain’t even a Czar in my
own husehold, here’s a few things
I would undertake to do the first
month of my Czarship:
the privateIV ' owned office-buildings
appeared to be vacant, but the State
owns a large office building and
jv^ry nffiro in was occupied and
crowded, and the door-keeper said
some of the employees had. to take
6ffices elsewhere. (Pt-tu—right on
my floor for the tenth time.) We
didn’t get to talk to more than half
of the door-keepers.”
-_“I declare to goodness, it’s hard
to reduce pcliticil expenses, as you
can’t turn off nobody. A few of the
several hundred seemed to be sorter
1
busy, and I didn’t notice any ' of
them playing rick-rack or anything.
No matter bow hard times git, public
jobs run right on just* like money
grows on trees.” P-tuu.),
1. Abolish the Federal Reserve
banking system. We haven’t done
much good since this system was
created. If it has saved a bank or
helped very many banks, it didn’t
come out in the pape^. It apparent
ly operates on the Bull-in-the-China-
shop plan.
The tabulation last week of The
\ Literary Digest’s presidential poll
showed Governor Roosevelt with sub
stantial majorities in 41 of the 48
States. President Hoover wa s lead
ing in only seven, which have 57
eleett'a! votes out of a total of 531.
The popular vote in this poll shows
Governor RosevHt to be a little bet-
eer than a three to two favorite.
In commetninjf on Calvin Coolidge’s
New York speech in advocacy of Her
bert Hoover’s reelection, the Balti
more Sun concludes with these re
marks: “No warnings? Impossible
to foresee the dangers? To drag this
trivial man from the grateful shades
of Northampton ami to drape upon
hi R shrunken statue the robes of
statesmanship, that he may solemnly
tell his threadbare story to the Ameri
can people, is to touch the extiertu* of
tragi-comedy.” And that’s that.
Coercion.
The alleged attempt on the part of
certain big man^tfacurers — Henry
Ford in particular—to coerce their
employes toi vote the Republican
ticket next month is apparently hav
ing an adverse reaction. It should.
Ford car owners have formed an
alliance "and are displaying wind
shield stickers bearing the slogan,
“Thi# Ford Votes for Roosevelt.”
The president of the organization
sent a few sample stickers to Henry
Ford and quotes from a letter re
ceived from a Kentuckian, who writes
as follows:
“The legend ‘This Ford Votes for
Roosevelt’ is excellent—as far as it
“Ford car owners with whom I
have talked regard the action of
Heaiy Ford in serving such an
ominous notice on his many thousands
•f employees as economic coercion.
He strikes a blow at the very vitals
of our democratic form of govern
ment. The man who does that con-
stitutes himself a public enemy no
longer entitled to the support or re-
apect of men and women who place
liberty and the untrammeled right of
zradfrage above price.
“Has anyone suggested: “My Last
Ford! Vote for Roosevelt!’
“The human memory endure** when
wrong has been suffered. Mr. Roose
velt will serve only eight years in the
White House.”
Henry Ford ha s every reason to be
a Republican and a light to lend his
anpport to the Republican cause, but
when he attempts to coerce his em
ployees to do likewise he truly
“•trikes a blow at the very vitals of
■oar democratic form of government.”
He is very inconsistent. Declaring
that he favors a high tariff, he
builds factories in other countries in
order to escape their tariffs and then
gets his products admitted into this
country free of duty/ Which only
got* to prove that gig business favor 8
the Republican party because the
Republican party favors big business
—-at the expense of the rank and file
2. Repeal the last Tariff Act, be
it good or bad. We insulted our
foreign customers and chased them
away from our shores by this ill-
timed s lap in the face and kick in the
pants. We thought we had the
world by the tail I recon, but
we did, the world wiggled it.
if
3. Have an accounting with the
farm board, make them turn over
the $5.25 they have left of the $500,-
000,000.00 Uncle Sam gave them to
operate on, disband the organization,
send the boys (who* busted us)
straight home and get down on my
knee** and ask the Good Lord to for
give us for ever starting such a thing
—“Federal Aid.”
“I told Jim and Bill that if a
farmer was to try to farm like our
public affairs are run, he would have
to have a man to catch out the mule,
and a man to hitch him to the plow,
and a man to hold the plow, and a
man to sa$ “Gee, mule,” and a man
to say “Haw, mule” and a man to say
‘“Whoa, muh” and several more
men to tel! the other men how to
turn around when they got to the end
of the row.”
“‘Son, it’s going to take brains
and honest politics to get this old
countiy out of the hole. I guess all
other State capitals are run like ouis,
and Washington, D. C’., is worser than
all of them combined, so they say.
I now know what becomes of our
tax money. (P-tuu). By the way,
can you lot me have a couple of dol
lars till Tuesday”?
4. W’inJ up the affairs of the
Fedeial Land bank, give the farm
ers back their lands, apologize for
deceiving them, call in the 25,000 em
ployees now sap-sucking the agricul-
tuial world and kiss them good-bye;
and at the same time, I think 1 would
reduce the activities of the depart
ment of agriculture to the tune of
about 90 per cent.
5. Dispense with 'the 1. C. Com
mission, and give the railroads back
to their owners. . Pay the bonus, if
we owe it, and then have a better
understanding with the World War

Plague Bacillus Found
by Japanese Scientist
The paths that lead to obscurity
and fame are ever present in the field
of science. Baron Shihusaburo Kit-
asato-spent all his long life on the
most painstaking researches on tuber
culosis without making one new and
really important contribution to our
knowledge of tin* disease. But he
discovered the bacillus of plague in a
few days.
Forty years earlier. Dr. Oaude
I.illingston relates in Hygeiu Maga
zine, the world had settled down to
the comfortable conviction that plague
had little more than historical inter
est and that .iv»Jern sanitatbon had
banished it from our midst. In 1894
an epidemic of plague broke out in
Hongkong which startled the entire
world. Kitasato, who had been sent
from Japan to Germany to study un
der tlie eminent scientist Robert
Koch, hurried hack to his own conn-
try. Two days after Kitasato had ar
rived in Hongkong, he had found nu
merous bacilli in the infected glands
and in the heart of a patient who had
died of plague. In a few days Kitasa-
.to again cabled Koch to tell him that
he had succeeded in cultivating the
bacillus artificially.
African “Medicine-Men”
Strong on Ceremonial
Before the medicine-man, in central
Africa, is appealed to for rain, those
desiring it must prepare their ances
tral spirits for the event. All the peo
ple in the neighborhood prepare their
own ancestral spirits, ‘propitiating
them with offerings of foodstuffs.
When this is completed the chief
sends for his medicine-man and gjves
him a black sheep. This votive offer
ing is killed by piercing its breast, the
stomach is then removed, and roots df
a certain plant added to the stomach.
This is then put on 'the fire and the
watchers observe the spirals of smoke.
In the ceremony to protect crops
against theft, a head of a spitting
cobra is tilled with sorghum seed and
planted. The grains grow and when
fruiting the roots are dug up and cal
cined. Then a rope* is made of tree
bark rubbed with the calcined roots,
and this is mixed with the sap of a
rubber plant. The roife is stretched
between two sticks and is addressed
by the owner of the crops: “This is
my farm. If anyone takes anything,
go and bite him!”
The owner whose farm is thus pro-
fectq^l goes away believing that a
spitting cobra will bitel any thief.
Desire for Adornment
Gives Many Employment
“One of the first factories to en
gage in the manufacture of jewelry
in America was located In Newark,
N. J., having been established in 1790,
which may account for the fact that
tliis state today manufactures jewelry
rained at $17,000,000,” says Tee-Bee
Flashes, Texas and Raciflc Railway
company organ, in part, in a historical
account of ornamentation;
“Since*-that beginning-at Newark,
in 1790, the manufacture of jewelry
lias spread to every state in the Union,
although the quantity produced by
many of the states is small both in
volume and value.
“So that man, woman and child may
..satisfy their burning desires for per
sonal adornment, upward of 1,526 es
tablishments are engaged in the man
ufacture of every conceivable variety
and design of jewelry. The vast ness
of the undertaking is rotleeted in the
fact that under normal conditions ap
proximately 20,000 people are regu
larly employed by the industry, while
the yearly value of its products is
$177,0OO,t>Od.

Humorist Uses His Pen
in Defense of Interest
If you think a humorist can't take
the bit between his teeth, you are in
vited to read Robert Benchley’s
“Horse-Sense Editorial” In the Golden
Book Magazine. He says:
The other day I ;net an old school
mate. He was crying. “Well, old-
timer,’’ I said “what's that you’ve got
In your hand?”
“My other hand,” he replied shak
ing it.
Now,-the reason my old schoolmate
hadn't made good was that he kept
one hand inside the other. He was
drawing on his principal. He had
Dtyqj heard of such a thing as in
terest.
A lot of people think Interest is a
bad thing. They call people who take
interest on their money “usurers.”
And yet Ezra was a “usurer.” Job was
a “usurer.” St. Paul was a “usurer.”
Samuel M. Vauclain, president of the
Baldwin Locomotive works, is a
“usurer.” Think that over on your cash
register and see if I am not right.
Sherman'* Bridge Builder
The first skyscraper ever built, the
Home Insurance building in Chicago,
was razed to make way for the new
42-story Field building. Erected in
1885 to a height of 10 stories, and
this.structure
was the creation of William Le Baron
Jenney,-versatile engineer who built
bridges for General Sherman’s fa
mous march to the sea. He is also
reputed to have introduced pumpkin
pie to Paris. Jenney got the Idea of
the skyscraper from the bamlfbo, huts
of the Philippines, for which four
standing trees supply the framework.

Way* of the Hippopotamus
In spite of his terrifjlng appear
ance. the hippopotamus is not quarrel
some, and just wants to lie left alone.
He subsists on a vegetable diet. He
loves to wallow in the water of some
lazy stream, frequently sinking be
neath the surface until only bis nos
trils and his eyes are visible. ' Upon
the approach of an enemy the hippo
potamus will take a deep breath and
dive, remaining down for several mln-
ntes before coming up again to recon-
nolter. He requires air, hut h4s lung
capacity Is so great that he can stay
under water for a considerable length
of time.
Indians’ Smooth Faces
The heard of the American Indian,
like that of the oriental, is naturally
very sparse. Most of the male Indians
would luive a slight mustache and
some beard on the chin if they per
mitted them to grow, but side whis
kers are usually absent. It was al
most a religion with the Indian to
have a smooth face. While the Indian
warrior was sitting idle by ids camp-
tire he would continually run his
hands .over ids cheeks and chin in
search of hairs. These he pulled out i
by the roots. Naturally this hurt and
sometimes made him wince. Occa
sionally a piece of mussel shell, a
thin chip of flint, or the like was held
in tlie hand in order to get a better
grasp v of Hie elusive hair. Some of
the Indian women also* had hair on
their faces and they extracted it in tlie
same manner.

The Explanation
A certain commercial traveler has
gained a reputation for devotion to
his wife by taking her about with him
wherever he travels, notwithstanding
the fact that she sports features of
the variety known as homely. One
evening he was with two of his
friends, botl/ of whom had married
freautlful girts;
"How is it,” said one of them, “that
we, who have married beautiful girls,
always leave them at home, while you
Insist upon taking your wife wherever
you go?”
The hero of the tale turned to his
companions and replied, with a sigh:
“Boys, to tell you the truth, 1 Just
can't seem to pluck up the courage to
kiss her good-by.”—London Tit-Bits.
“Voice* of F»*k”
Fish ^re not entirely dumb. Many
species of marine creatures have
voices. Some grunt, some make a
noise like a distant report, of a can
non, and the blenny is able to let-out
quite a sizable scream.
There is the South American fish
called Gymnotus electricus, about four
feet lodg, with the head of a catfish
carries a powerful electric battery,
and the biologist in charge of that de
partment of Toronto university re
marks: “We know he is capable of
knocking over a horse, and upon dis
secting a dead one found the body to
contain four electric batteries, com
posed of millions of eJectric cells, in
series.”
Dido a Slicker
The role of “clicker” in a bargain
was played hack as far as history
extends. Consider the case of Dido,
founder of the qty of Carthage. After
she had been farced to flee from the
kingdom of'Tyre, following the slay
ing of her husband by Pygmalion.
Dido fled to Africa. There she ifec-
chased a plot of land, which, accord
ing to her bargain, was to be as large
as could be covered by the hide of a
bull. Having struck the bargain,
Dido cut the hide up into vety nar
row thongs and laying them end to
end encircled a piece of groiad suf
ficiently large to serve as the loca
tion of the city which she founded.
