HATRED IN POLITICS There is, after all, no depth to which partisan politics will not sink when it is built on hatred. We see it break out from time to time in various ways and in various places. It usually comes from a men- tality warped with bitterness; from persons who can not discuss public questions in a fair and honest manner without dealing in personalities. A typical example in point has come to the at- tention of the Cincifnati Enquirer. Commenting on it, under the title “Hatred in Politics,” the Enquirer says: There has come to this office a pamphlet called “The Man Behind the Men Behind the Presldenl " published at Chicago. It is an ttack on Professor Felix Frankfurter, vard University, one of the President’s infor- mal adviser: It attacks him directly as a “Communist” and a purveyor of “alien phil phies,” and by innuendo as “a Jew from the Ghetto.” This is the sort of “campaign litera- ture” against which the American people should be warned emphatically. The publish- ers have the effrontery to use the Liberty Bell as the “trademark” on their pamphlet This newspaper has opposed many of Mr. Roosevelt’s policies, believing they are unwise and unsound. But its opposition is based on the public policies themselves which have come from the White House. It has never questioned the sincerity and honesty of the President, nor has it suggested that he is a victim of Communist advisers who seek their inspiration in Eur There is ample ground for opposing the New Deal on the basis of how its policies are working. Sober, honest men may differ as to whether Mr. Roosevelt or Mr. Landon repre- sents the sort of leadership and policy they prefer. This is the plane on which the cam- paign should be conducted—the wisdom or unwisdom of public policies identified with the two party groups. There is no place in this campaign or in American life for underhanded, surreptitious slurs. There is no place for anti-Semitism or any other sort of racial hatred in this country of equality and freedom. Such or- ganizations as that which published “The Man Behind the Men Behind the President” are traitors to the spirit of America. They arg fomenting hate and distrust where there should be honest inquiry and candid discus- sion. For them, innuendo and scandal are better than argument. That is not the Ameri- can way to deal with public affairs. There is no place in this campaign, as the En- quirer states, nor any other for that matter, for nasty, underhanded stabs in the back, built on in- nuendo and scandal-mongering. It makes no dif- ference if a person is seeking election as President of the United States or a dog-catcher in the third ward in Sleepy Hollow, impertial hearing and the attack from those oppos- | ing should be straight-forward and-above board. This| is no dictator-dominated nation with strong-arm forces skulking in the all This is America, where every person is entitled to his own political and re- ligious bellefs, and guaranteed the right to air them if he does sdhonestly LANDON’S EMBARR/ G POSITION Several of the 14 reactionary Republicans re- maining in the United States Senate have Jmlrno_vofi’ | West to consult Gov. Alf M. Landon. Yet none impressed the corps of newspaper cor-| respondvnb at Estes Park, hlgh up in Colorado, as! *'he expressed in the candidate’s presence. he is entitled to a fair and] being more anxious for inspirational enlightenment | than Senator Robert D. Carey of Wyoming, who comes up for re-election, this year. He did not at all con- ceflli hi§ ‘determination to “drw_out” ‘the hominee | land. The senator emerged after nearly five hours with an “interpretation” of the candidate’s views, which Senator Carey said the nominee is “against bene- m payments to farmers as a permanent part of the as that “would constitute regi- “had been no nation’s farm policy, mentation.” And he admitted there discussion of a substitute policy.” One wonders what could have taken up so much time, unless there were reminders from the that the double-barreled denunciation of the| reciprocal trade agreement act, in both the farm and tariff planks of the platform, has embarrassed Mr. Harper Sibley, president-of the United States Cham- ber of Commerce; and Mr. William A. Aldrich, chair- man of the board of the Chase National Bank, both of whom have repeatedly endorsed this basic policy of the Roosevelt Aadthinistration.. But one does mot need to wonder as to:the extent of the terrific task that confronts the nominee in making somewhat |clearer to the electorate¢ his conception of his party’s agricultural program. For the Republican platform declared for both benefit payments and bounties. It distinctly pro- |vides “the payment of reasonable benefits upon the| domestically consumed portion of such crops in order | to make the tariff effective” and then promises very definitely “to furnish government assistance in dis- posing of surpluses in foreign trade.” In his interpretive telegram to the Cleveland con- vention in which he insisted upon a return to the gold standard, Governor Landon did not mention the long and wearisome farm plank. That gave rise to the assumption that he was willing to abide by its many vague and conflicting provisions. But meanwhile a few days before the Carey visit he had gone into con- ferences with his principal agricultural adViser, the 'Curtis Publishing Company’s associate editor, Earl W. Taylor. And Editor Taylor wrote in The Country Gentleman as recently as last April against “political manipulation of agriculture” and “all attempts at governmental subvention.” The truth is that in order to please those indus- trialists who seemingly have not yet learned what |automatically happened to their ancient tariff theory | when the United States became a creditor nation, the Old Guard platform drafters at Cleveland inserted Ithe bait for still higher and restrictive duties on all competitive commodities, including those of the farm. To that they coupled a vigorous demand for collection of the war debts with a plaintive appeal to those very same debtor nations to buy our farm surpluses. This obviously unworkable farm ‘“program” the Republican Presidential nominee was sworn to exe- if elected, as a matter of “private honor and If the assertion of the Wyoming solon made in Governor Landon's presence to about 50 newspaper correspondents has any meaning what- ever, the governor has made a start. Senator Carey | |added that the Presidential candidate “seemed to be| |impressed with the possibilities of producing enough ‘becl sugar in the West to meet the domestic demand.” JBuL would not that presuppose, in fact constitute evi- |dence, that Governor Landon would favor giving the sugar growers still more tariff protection than they| |now enjoy? And where would that get afzru-ultnre—; {and industry—in the proclaimed purpose to extend| our foreign markets? And incidentally, does any one assume that Congress would be complaisant in meet- ng any of thesé terms? 'of their senator cute, public faith.” Some of the boys taking a walk may find that | William Allen White, the Emporia, Kansas, editor, |is more than half right. He wants to welcome them into the Republican party, but with slightly crossed tfmgers They can expect little more in the enemy| | camp.

John claimed to have found-a large ledge or ore back several miles from the beach and had offered to show the men the ledge if they would give him a sack of flour, a side of ba- con, and $20 a month for the re- mainder of his life.
