on the whole, we see no reason to activities of “Alfalfa Bill” Murray,
change it. Population has been
drifting away from the farms in
the oast few years, but a whole lot
of the drift never got any farther
than the nearby country towns and
vill acres, and now there is beginning
a swing back from the big cities to
the land again.
Farmers have their troubles, and
so do small town business men, hut
they are trifling compared with the
troubles of city people in times of
industrial distress and unemploy
ment. For one thing, the city
dweller has to have cash in his
pocket or starve. We know many
good citizens who don’t handle as
much cash in a year as thousands
of city folks spend for a month’s
house rent, but we haven’t noticed
any of them starving.
As far as we can find out, the
small towns of the whole United
States have got along better
through these past two years of de
pression than the big cities have
done. . And if there < is anything
really worth having in city life that
we haven’t got right here at home,
we don’t know what it is.
On the whole, oerhaps. it’s just
as well that the cities don’t run ev
erything, so long as people have to
eat and we country folk have to
raise their food for thein.

State to meet the unemployment
crisis has met with warm approval.
He wants to raise $20,000,000 for the
distress fundi and figu,ots the
wealthy can well afford to pay
mere to combat the winter distress.
It is likely that increased taxes
for those viho can best afford to
pay them will be adopted. All these
actions have made him a popular
figure and a man who will be hard
for the Republicans to beat.
Morrow is one of the most popu-
’ar men in the entire Republican
Party. His success in Mexico,
which was on the verge of a busi
ness war with the United States at
the time he was sent there, showed
him to be a man of high calibre.
As a Morgan partner, his weakest
point with many voters of a radi
cal tendency, he has never been
connected with any movement that
has been against the working man.
In addition, he is known to be in
sympathy with the wets, particul
arly the “light wine and beer” con
tingent, and would corral many
Republican voters who might be
^mpted to stray to the Democratic
fold, where liquor has its strongest
adherents.
Whether Lindbergh, his famous
son-in-law, would turn his hand
to aid Morrow’s candidacy is not
known. A speaking campaign by
Lindbergh would win many thous
ands cf votes, as he is still the most
popular individual in the country
and many women would vote as he
says. That Lindbergh is not in
sensible to nolitical influences is
more than likely, his own father
having been a Representative of
more than ordinary influence and
ability. In any event. Morrow
would add immensely to the
strength of the Republican ticket
as a running mate to Mr. Hoover,
the politicians here assert.
