An the hewspaper polls to date in- dicate ‘a landslide for the Roosevelt ticket. Leather has to be prepared, or “‘tan- ned” before it is of any ‘use. Kids like- wise. Acgirl who is “beautiful but dumb” might make a good wife if she would only stay that way. Every citizen of the. country should take a-cue from the life of Admiral Byrd and go- to the Las says The Pathfinder. The at in the national election next month will not be as much in support of the democratic ticket as it will be a vote of protest against the administration at Washington. It is estimated that about two per cent of the people’ of the United States are in- eapacitated by illness at any time, " This percentage does not inéludé those who are sick of the whole business. The conditions today are almost the same as the conditions in 1920, with the difference that the public feeling ‘is ye- versed.” In 1920 the people voted to drive McAdoo, Burleson, Daniels and their fel- low-democratic office-holders from Wash- ington. ‘This year the voters are intent to drive the members of the Hoover ad- ministration back to private life. | Those who think the end of progress has been reached would do well to recollect these words of the late Charles Steinmetz, greatest of inventors: “We call this the electrical age, but it isn't. The electrical age has hardly begun. In that age ‘elec- tricity - . : will do’a multitude of things of which we have never dreamed. For the} electrical age is yet to come. And it will; CONFOUNDING THE ENEMY Governor Roosevelt, in his campaign for the presidency, is conducting himself in such a novel manner that he has ‘his ad- | versaries stunned and ata loss as tu what to do. Instead of indulging in oratorical flights of faney and presenting a panacea for all the evils that afflict us as a people, he is going about examining conditions at | st hand and analyzing the problems of | the country. Instead of assuming that he is the Heaven sent Moses to lead the people out of the wilderness, he is finding out at first hand just what our troubles seem to i be, with the idea of determining on a cur after hé has first diagnosed the illness, This | seems to many of our folks to be the sen- sible thing to do, but it has all the politi- cians speechless in indignant surprise. the senate of the Empire State, during the trying war-limes at Washington as as- sistant secretary of the navy, and in his two terms as governor of New York, he has fol- lowed ‘the same course of procedure. His record of efficiency in all of his public of-! fices has been due as much to this policy | as to any other factor. He seems to be the possessor of horse sense to an unusual de- gree. If Governor Roosevelt were to offer any definite suggestions as to the pplicy of the government at the present time, his ideas would be subjected to criticism from every angle. If he were to attempt to solve the problems which have arisen:as.the re- sult of twelve years of political«rule he would find the task an impossible one. The political leaders and interests which have been responsible for the present industrial conditions realize this. They also realize that the Roosevelt policy at the present time is to have the government stop doing the things which have brought about our present condition of- distress. Stopping these things means stopping the power and profits of the political leaders. Governor Roosevelt, in calmly pointing out the per- nicious effect of twelve years of political misrule, has confounded his enemies, who have been driven to the policy of general abuse and scolding. It is hard to battle against a man who directs the light on er- rors and their consequences in such a man- ner that even the most simple minds can see and understand. © SIDELIGHTS By MARCY B. DARNALL. Former Editor of The Key West Citizen A rattlesnake as a watchman is some- thing novel, but one played that role re- cently when robbers ransacked a country store near Florence, Ala. Two snakes had been kept in a showcase, and when Cley- burn Hale opened the case to get at its con- tents one of them bit him. He was given treatment and sent to jail. Scofflaws had a good joke on Law- rence Stuart, prohibition agent of Newark, N. J., recently, when he ¢hanged his auto license plates to fool bootleggers he was seeking to énsnare. Police of Keansburg arrested Stuart for having fictitibus plates and he was fined $25. * 4 An odd combination of destructive sub- stances was employed by Ed Estell of Bir- mingham, Ala., in a supposed effort to com- mit suicide. He swallowed seven poison tablets and four safety razor blades which he had broken into bits. At last report he was in the hospital, a very sick man. Extremes in size and weight were shown by two calves born recently near Shriner, Tex. One born on the farm of Frank Kalisek weighed 87 pounds, while the other, born on the nearby farm of his son, weighed only five pounds. Appropriately enough, the name of j Sing. Sing penitentiary’s football coach is John Law. But Law is not a convict. He was formerly a member of the Notre Dame team and is at present a candidate for the New York Assembly county. Miss Georgia Hill, 18, of Goodland, Kan., takes a spanking seriously—very seriously, in fact. Alleging that former schoolmates bent her across an automobile fender and spanked her with a slippér, she is Suing for $30,000 damages. Efficiency experts who seek to eli- minate lost motion might get some practi- cal ideas from observing a setting hen. In; from Westchester? “THE e KEY WES?
