he dees is appreciated by the rr

the church.

A REPUBLICAN DILEMMA
(By T. J. Cooper)
Now that the ship of state, with
Roosevelt at the helm, has weather
ed the greatest economic storm in
the history of our country, and is
sailing serenely in untroubled wat
ers, there is evidence of mutiny
aboard. While we were In the depths
of the depression, and fear gripped
every heart, the bewildered parties
turned with one accord tr the great
captain for deliverance. Congress
did his bidding with the docility of
well-trained donkeys. The Republi
can party has come out of its long
coma, and is trying to destroy the
confidence of the American people in

discredited Mr. Hoover has come
forth from his retirement to add his
dcleful forebodings to the general
