For nearly seven years this man has been employed only periodically. For the last year and a half failing health has kept him at home. His wife, meanwhile, had a good job teach- | ing school; so he became cook, bottle-washer, and housekeeper, while she acted as breadwinner. One of the clauses in his divorce suit complains that she criticized his housekeeping, refused to take him to places of amusement, and got angry because he failed to darn and mend her clothing. All this, in our careless conception of humor, adds up to a good joke. A vaudeville comedian or a radio wisecracker could have a good deal of fun with it. i But underneath the surface it is anything but funny; and it reflects the kind of tragedy that must have been all too com- mon in the depression years. We have gone a long way from the old-fashioned concep- | tion that woman's place is in the home and nowhere else. Many and many a family has been held together during the hard depression years only by the fact that the wife managed to get or keep a job when the husband couldn't. But any such arrangement, no matter how necessary it may ke, puts a terrific strain on both parties involyed. That it leads | occasionally to the divorce court is not surprising. The wife's position, first of all, is unnatural. The respon- sibility of keeping the family in funds, of facing the worries, the competition, and the rough breaks of a business career, is hers instead of her husband's, She is compelled to fill a role for which training and tra- dition do not in the least prepare her. If, now and then, all this makes her irritable, too critical, and generally ill-tempered, who can wonder at it? And if it is a hard role for the wife to fill, how much harder is the lot of the stay-at-home husband! The whole arrange- meat must constantly make him feel a dismal failure. Instead of being the family’s protector, he is a sort of fifth wheel. He cannot help fecling that washing dishes, getting meals, | and keeping the house in order is a sorry excuse of a job for a| grown man. Beginning by despising himself, he is quite likely to wind up by despising everyone connected with the ‘arrange- ment. All in all, it is a set-up made to order for the production of unhappiness. It speaks volumes for the patience, the self- control, and the good sense of the average American that in so many homes such an arrangement has been carried through the depression years without causing an explosion. No, there’s nothing funny about that Los Angeles story. It fis just one more glimpse at the way cconomic collapse can de- #troy human happiness. Victory March Ends Eyen the best horse can go to the post once too often. That is the moral pointed by the result of the Minnesota-| Northwestern football game Saturday in which the Golden Gophers met defeat for the first time in four years after the fJongest winning streak in modern gridiron history. During that time Minnesota met and vanquished many fine fleams,but as the string of unbroken victories went on and on the law of percentages began to work against them. There were other fine teams arrayed against them and all any of them heeded to win was a break in the luck. Northwestern got that break and capitalized on it for victory. To anyone who has ever played under the strain of main- flaining a victory march, such as those which are required. to win a tournament where one defeat means elimination, the pressure exerted upon the Minnesota team throughout: the sea- son is understandable. It is difficult to always be at one’s peak and occasionally w team meets another which is inspired for the occasion. It is such events which put an end to victory marches and which upset the dope beyond the calculations of even the most astute @hservers. Minnesota still has a great football team. On any other Saturday and under different conditions the Gophers might hhaye beaten Northwestern. But the sad fact remains that they touldn’t do it last Saturday. Admirable Advice One hardly expects an admiral in the navy to take the lead {n urging the greatest possible freedom of speech. The officer's training points him in the other direction; it is only natural that his remedy for subversive talk is usually hard-boiled sup- pression. But Admiral William H. Standley, chief of naval opera- tions, is different. He recently urged that the Washington, _ ellipse, the parkway between the White House and the Wash- ington monument, be turned into a sort of American Hyde Park, ® soap box arena where agitators of any and all descriptions could air their views publicly without the slightest restraint. “If their doctrines were proclaimed publicly to the house- tops, they would lose all their persuasiveness and stand forth ¢lad in all their absurdity,” remarks the admiral. “Such a relief fvalve could never endanger the republic and would give us no grorry.” Sound democratic doctrine, this—exceptionally refreshing, foming from an admiral in the navy! 8 girl take a drive with her fiance Usively ebtiticd to the use for republ hot otherwise eredited tn f published herein e also reserved | other one.” Behind the Scenes The Campaign | By RODNEY DUTCHER | (Tribune Washington Correspondent) | Washington, Nov. 2.—The big battle for the Negro vote, marked by a des- perate effort of Republicans to re- | gain the bulk of it from the Demo- crats and by the obviously political | aspect of Roosevelt's speech at How- ard University in Washington, has | not been waged with any exaggerated | idea of the Negro's political import- | ance. ; In a close election contest, a swing | of sentiment among Negroes from one party to the other could easily be decisive. It is estimated that Negro votes in northern and border states | number upward of 2,000,000. There are heavy concentrations of them in such large and doubtful states as New York, Pennsylvania, I- hnois, Ohio, and Michigan, to say nothing of such states as Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey, Missouri, Ken- tucky, West Virginia, and others where Negro leaders like to claim their race has a “balance of power.” Politicians are saying that the northern Negroes “have been vot- ing for Abraham Lincoln for 70 years and now they think they’ve got an- At Democratic Negro rallies everywhere, Roosevelt has been heralded as “the new Lincoln.” x kX More for. F. R, Than in 1932 Negroes represent about the only large voting group, with the probable exception of labor, which oppears to be more pro-Roosevelt today than in 1932. Some Republicans have pro- fessed to believe that this would not prove true on election day, but an- alysis of the vote in certain areas will tell. Reports of defections are respons- ible for the long corridors of offices at Republican campaign headquar- ters in which Negro workers were em= ployed to wean back the Negro vote. Almost identical reports have come from nearly all the big northern in- | dustrial centezs. Negroes, at the bot- | tom of the heap during the depres- | sion and the great majority of them in poverty, were grateful for FERA and WPA. Both national and state Democratic machines, many Negroes felt, had given them more than accustomed recognition in appointments an’ other matters, And many resented the way a photograph of Mrs. Roose- velt escorted by Negroes at Howard University had been used as anti- Roosevelt propaganda in the South, Experienced Republicans felt the liberal use of money could “save” much of the Negro votes. * eK Turn Democratic in Cities In Pittsburgh one heard that it was no longer safe for a colored man to appear in Negro sections wearing a Landon button, Cincinnati, many Ohioans believed, would desert her traditional Republicanism through a colored swing to Roosevelt. In Detroit the Negro vote was reg- istered 63 per cent Democratic, as against 86 per cent Republican in 1932, New York, Philadelphia, Chi- cago and Cleveland all agreed a ma-| jority of their Negroes were for Roosevelt. The effectiveness of Republican ef- | fort to swing the Negroes back can be judged only by the returns. Landon declared for an anti-lynching law, but didn’t indicate whether he was for a federal or state law. He could hardly call for the former, in view of his state's rights position, although an endorsement of state anti-lynching laws wouldn’t mean much, Republicans got Jesse Owens to make Landon speeches and stressed the claim that the south was “in the saddle” at Washington. Roosevelt, a week before election, countered with the assertion that there must be “no forgotten races.” se % Swing Away From Hoover The swing of Negroes away from their old-time Republicanism began in 1932 because of resentment against depression and Hoover. The most im- portant question has been whether Roosevelt got as much of the Negro vote then as he could expect in 1936, as some Republicans say. There are a few indications. Hoover ran much stronger in Har- lem in 1932 than in the rest of New York city. Large Negro wards in Chi- cago voted 3 to 1 for Hoover, while Chicago as a whole went for Roose- velt. The Baltimore Sun poll snows big | Roosevelt majorities in Negro sections, although Maryland Negroes—with the largest proportionate colored popula- tion of any state where most Negroes yvote—have always been conceded to be Republican in national elec- tions. The Negro vote in Delaware has been one of the chief reasons given for reports that that state, for Hoo- ver in 1932, would vote for Roose- velt. Democratic Chairman John J. Raskob surprised everybody by trying to get the Negro vote organized for Smith in 1928, but made little head- way. The first big political protest of the Negroes followed Hoover's nomina- tion of Judge John J. Parker to the U.S. supreme court. Parker had been quoted as opposing participation of Negroes in politics. His defeat in the senate was largely cue to a storm of protest received by northern ahd border state senators from Negro constituents. Many Ne- groes continued to hold the Parker nomination against Hoover. (Copyright, 1936, NEA Service, Inc.)

Two surgeons on the hospital staff examined him and assured him he had no hemorrhoids. Nevertheless he believed he had something of the sort wrong, and as soon as he left the hospital he visited a doctor who, on examination, found three large hemorrhoids, This doctor made a real ex- amination, by means of speculum and suitable light, The surgeons had made a blind examination, without speculum and without inspection, and so they muffed the diagnosis. It is fair to say that neafly half of all sufferers from “piles” actually ners no piles; or rather that their trouble is due to something else. communication from a medical friend says of a clinic where prepared to be surprised, prepared. to} Oregon be proved wrong, and if I am wrong | South Dakota this time I shall have to console my- | wyoming 5 self with the knowledge that I will | yan have been right four out of five times | washington at bat.

Many of these would go undiagnosed and untreated were it not for this clinic.” : Another physician, in his book on “Essentials of Injection Treatment” (McNamara, The Medical Press, Rochester, N. Y.) says: “Some day patients suffering with rectal disease will not hesitate to con- alized| sult their physicians as soon as they realize that there is something wrong. ‘That day will have arrived when the public has become informed as to the ease and lasting comfort through which relief may be secured through the injection Cambulant) method of treating hemorrhoids.” In one large clinic in connection with one of the greatest hospitals in the country, where formerly only operation was employed for hemorrhoids, fissure and other common rectal troubles, the injection treatment alone is now employed, and hundréds of patients are cured without confinement, In Ohio, there were 40 predictions In New York, there were 33 Landon As for Delaware, the information did I come to put Illinois, though I re. rove the irreducible minimum From a “ratio of doubt” metas all the states in study of 40 out of the 48 states—the eight omitted being in the solid south | which is usually Democratic. I have traveled 20,000 miles in the last three months and have followed for the most part the route tiaat I have traveled before, so that an op- portunity has been afforded me for comparative judgments — how the electorate looked and reacted in four other presidential campaigns. To make such a study or investiga- tion one does not go out in the high- ways and by-ways and take hit or miss opinion, That is sometimes help- ful but it is more often contusipg. The: job is reelly one that any re- porter can do if he has had a back- ground of political and economic af- fairs and knows how to get at sources | of information in each state that are reliable. In other words, it is a task! ot investigation plus judgment so as to determine who is deliberately or innocently deceiving you and who is really trying to give you an honest and disinterested judgment, In most of the states I have sources | of information that are of the latter | kind and these sources have proved reliable and accurate in the past. As a consequence of my trip, I feel rather definite about certain things. One of them may sound paradoxical but I shall state it nevertheless—I can understand how the Literary Digest poll may be right and yet how Jim Farley may be right. I have seen enough of certain situa- tions in the 40 states to understand why the Literary Digest, which I call an. uncoerced and uncontrolled vote taken by mail between the first weck in September and the 15th of October, may be upset on election day by in- tensive organization work on the part of 37 different state political machines controlled by Jim Fariey. T have seen also how $4,800,000.000 of public money can help to entrench the 37 different state political ma- chines plus many city machines and give them a vote-getting power not possessed hitherto by any group of Republican political machines in the heyday of the “old deal.” I have also observed how contributions of money forced from the pay checks of federal and state office-holders have built up the largest single campaign fund in the history of the United States, the largest in any campaign not excepting the far-famed cam- paign financing by Mark Hanna or the “slush funds” of the Harding ; days. T have noted also how some of these city political machines with their local bosses have padded registration lists and how they have intimidated the relief and the Negro vote. As for the labor vote, this was obtained directly by President Roosevelt him- self by pushing through congress three laws that violate the constitution of the United States—the NRA, the Guf- fey act, and the Wagner labor act. Labor organizations, unlike other years, have this time collected dues from their members and have formed a huge campaign fund as well as put into the field @ corps of intensive solicitors and canvassers so that the American workingman does not go to this election uncoerced no matter how he voted in the Digest poll. Re- grettably, too, employers have sought to influence their employes, the worst offenders being the federal govern- ment itself and the various state gov- ernments which have, in effect, threatened their employes with loss of jobs unless they contributed money as well as campaign work in getting out votes for the Roosevelt ticket. Never before has there been such widespread use of coercive tactics and this time the New Deal party has surpassed all other Republican efforts by the nation-wide character of the effort to control the outcome of a presidential election. In the first 13 states that I visited— those west of the Mississippi river, I found that a total of more than $3,- 000,000,000 of federal checks had been distributed. If this was not done deliberately for a political purpose then the New Deal, by its published pamphlets and the speeches of its prominent spokesmen, should not now be boldly asking votes on the basis of the money spent—the s0- called “gratitude” argument which has been worked overtime from coast to coast in this campaign. To determine the outcome of this election it is not necessary to look beyond the states where federal spending per capita has been heav- jest. It is hardly necessary to enter into the big middle western and east- ern states s0 many -of which are doubtful and close. It is necessary only to examine the true sources’ of New Deal strength in the west and south and border states where the bulk of the federal money has been spent in the last three years. I shall divide ‘the electoral table into four rts: Pe polld South—Alebama 11, Arkan- 895 9, Florida 7, Georgia 12, Louisiana 10, Mississippi 9, Texas 23 and South {New Hampshire jmarks I have put alongside of Mr, jsent eut 2,000 letters and telegrams the west of the bert group ad {I have regarded uncertain—| jbraska, Iowa and North Dakota, which {amount to 22, or if he loses the three he must fain Minnesota and Indiana from Mr. Roosevelt's doubtful column, which also amount to 22, If he mere- ly effects this exchange, it would not change the result but if he could win Minnesota and Indiana as well as keep Nebraska, Iowa and North Da- kota he would be elected by 283 8 248. Anybody who believes I wrong on these five states and that they all belong to Governor Landon would naturally feel that the Tandon chances of winning are much better than I have stated them. jut supposing Mr. Landon does keep Nebraska.

Jim Farley tells me that he is con- vinced Mr. Roosevelt will do what Mr. Landon cannot do—namel; oF carry all the uncertain states I have listed and this would, pf course, justify an elec- ;toral maximum of 387 for Mr. Roose- velt to Mr. Landon’s 134.

East of Mississippi river sevens ee QT At Totals eee 261 Inasmuch as 266 is all that is neces- | the sary for a choice, the above table becomes the irreducible minimum for Mr. Roosevelt, assuming that he does not lose Indiana’s 14 or Minnesota's 11, both of which states have a ques- tion mark on them. Now note the number of question Landon’s table and you will observe that there are three states west of the Mississippi with a total of 22 | pect votes uncertain and there are four states east of the Mississippi with a total of 105 votes which are uncer- tain for Landon. To get at the probabilities, we must examine the weaknesses in Mr. Roo- sevelt's table since there are only two states in that class for him compared to seven states on Mr. Landon’s un- certain list. How good really are Mr. Roosevelt's chances in Minnesota and Indiana— his two uncertainties? Within the last few days I have to 40 states and I have ‘canvassed newspapermen in whose judgment I have confidence. In Indiana the re- sult is 35 to 35 while in Minnesota the replies are 13 to 10 in favor of Mr, Roosevelt. Incidentally the bet- ting in Indiana on the state's result is at even money. | Both of these states are doubtful and the men in Indiana and Minne- sota who are closest to the situation happen to be very much puzzled. Partnership has nothing to ‘do with it, because editors who are supporting Roosevelt have in some instances ex- pressed the belief that their states would go in the Landon column and certain men who are supporting Lan- don have expressed the belief to me that their states would be in the Roo- sevelt column, But in any event the information from Minnesota and Indiana is con- flicting. My own impression based on a careful study first hand of the conditions in the two states mention- ed is that Indiana with its huge New Deal patronage and public funds ma- chine and the state Democratic ma- chine together with the work done on the colored vote and the relief vote would make the state appear to be a Roosevelt electoral state by a rela~ tively narrow margin. As for Minnesota, the Lemke- Coughlin vote makes me uncertain. The New Deal played a smart piece of strategy when it suppressed the regularly nominated Democratic ticket and thus endeavored to get the whole-hearted Farmer-Labor support, but nobody knows how far the Lem- ke-Coughlin ticket will make inroads into the. Farmer-Labor ‘vote. My -cwn feeling is that Minnesota will go for Mr. Repsevelt but by a very small margin. I do not expect the electorate table to be 270 for Mr. Roosevelt and 261 for Mr. Landon, though I would not be in the least surprised if it really turned out that way. Landon sup- porters have just as much right there- fore to their impression as. to what may happen in Indiana and Minne- sota as I have, for the race in these two states is close and may be the deciding factor in the whole election with the possibility of a recount of ballots in each instance if the maj- ority:is won by @ narrow margin, Now let us look at the weaknesses |: in Mr. Landon’s table of states and we must examine both divisions—the east of the Mississipp! group and the west of the Mississippi group. We find that Iowa with 11, Nebraska with 7 and North Dakota with 4, or a total of 22 votes, hangin the bal- ance. I was uncertain when I visited those states and I am uncertain to- day. North Dakota depends on how many Lemke votes turn up at the polls as a defection from Roosevelt. BEGIN HERE DOR AY.

He looked worried. He had lost his devil-may-care manner during the long hours of his watch. “Ted has ordered me off the’ plane at Honolulu to await in- structions,” he told her. “The message came through on the ra- dio just now.” Kay sat up, her eyes wide, “Monte, they won’t do anything to you!” He smiled and saluted with a gesture that was not as jaunty as he intended. “Adventure in the: air!” he said. “Ted didn’t say anything about. me?” she asked. “No. Only company messages! have come through thus far.” Kay’s heart sank.
