(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER (Incorporated) | CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON His Conception of the Job It is of interest to secure first hand the conception of office as voiced by one who will soon occupy it. In one of his addresses Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt gave in these words his view of the presidency: “The presidency is not merely an administrative office. That is the least of it. It is more than an engineering job, efficient or inefficient. It is pre-eminently a place of moral leadership. “All our great presidents were leaders of thought at times when certain historic ideas in the life of the nation had to be clarified. Washington personified the idea of federal union. Jefferson prac- tically originated the party sys- tem as we know it by opposing the Democratic theory to the Re- Publicanism of Hamilton. This theory was reaffirmed by Jackson. “Two great principles of our | government were forever put be- yond question by Lincoln. Cleve- land, coming into office following an era of great political corrup- tion, typified rugged honesty. T. R. and Wilson were both moral leaders, each in his own way and for his own time, who used the Presidency as a pulpit. “That is what the office is—a superb opportunity for reapplying, | 88 he has watched the price of his|” 1, applying in new conditions, the simple rules of human conduct to which we always go back. With- out leadership alert and sensitive to change, we are bogged up or lose our way.” Simplification of government and of conception of its duties to the people are sadly needed. That statesman said wisely that the people were best governed who were least governed. There has been an intolerable growth of government in the last two | decades. Bureaus and commissions | have multiplied. Government has in- | vaded fields never dreamed of before. | It is the earnest prayer of many that this election will stem some of the; vicious tendencies which are in part to blame for the depression that is) now upon us. Our Farm Debt Since 1910 the American farm mort- gage ‘debt has increased from three billion to nearly ten billion. H This is an increase of more than| 300 per cent in 18 years. H To this must be considered the de- | flation in farm prices started soon after the war and continued and con- tinuing ever since. Not a nice picture, is it? These are issues the flannel mouth Politicians rant about on the hustings but do little to correct them when once elected to office. One wonders how long the farmers will swallow the hokum fed to them every two years by their alleged friends who, after they have captured sufficient votes to boost themselves into office, forget Mr. Farmer struggling under a terrific load. An election has just been completed. Large doses of soothing syrup were fed to the farmers of this and other states by sleek-jowled politi- clans. True, they introduce a few bills aimed to assist, but so small is their influence and often so vague and; Utopian their schemes, that they can get nothing for the farmer but a fresh | in Gettysburg are testimonials to the | hallowed mergories of those who laid In most instances their efforts are | 40W? their lives that the truths which load of taxes. about as effective as a tin whistle on @ peanut stand. The tragedy of it all is as every two years roll around the farmers line up for their biennial ose of soothing syrup. If they stayed away from some of the political meetings and devoted a few hours to studying their tax bills they would find that the mouthings of these so-called reformers have done nothing to date but add thousands of dollars to their tax bills.

To this obstinacy or blind- ness in internal affairs it added a rambling beneficence in foreign affairs which seemed forever aim- less, futile, and injurious. It was plain that American interests were ; being jeopardized or sacrificed while no good will or friendship was being built up. The party in { administration committed itself | { deeply to pacifism, prohibition, | and economic fallacies, and quite apparently got nowhere. In many of these activities it steal the thunder of and quite naturally succeeded only in detonating ex- plosions within its own ranks and to its utter confusion. It did not win the La Follettes, Brookhart, | Norris, and their company by making concessions to them but only made its own supporters more bewildered. It used public ; funds lavishly to purchase sub- sidizable states and only had them turn away in ingratitude and con- tempt.

There are six floors to this charm- ing residence, which sits well back from the street—a rare thing in New York—and the original cost of build- ing and furnishing ran into the mil- Hons.

After that, it was pointed out to visiting firemen and natives alike ‘as unique in the metropolitan area, Housewives whispefed that it had 18 servants’ rooms and 37 master bed- rooms—all of which was quite true, At the rear, on 69th street, a garden grew under expert supervision.

Thus, out in Hollywood, Ann Harding and Harry Bannister parted with gestures that were truly in the modern manner.

And Lenore Ulric, who parted from heF spouse in similar good humor, has been ob- served with the leading man of her recent play, “Nona.” And Roger Wolfe Kahn, upon taking up the baton again, was greeted by many telegrams from his former wife, the vivacious Hattie Williams.
