THE NATIONAL SITUATION
The main consideration for the moment of both the major
parties seem to be the securing of the necessary sinews of
war that the coming political battle may be not lacking in am
munition. Hardly in the history of our country, even in the
days of Roosevelt, Taft, and Wilson has the science of political
strategy been so highly developed or required more oil with
which to keep machines running smoothly.
In the Democratic party, the re-nomination of President
Roosevelt is a foregone conclusion. While, for a short period
it became apparant that his star was on the wane, he has re
gained much of his lost prestige. In addition to the many
lovable traits of character which he possesses and the strong
hold he, personally maintains upon the affection of his country
men, he will go down in history as the most adroit politician
that ever sat in the Presidential chair.
Politics is politics, regardless under which party label it is
played. There are well defined rules under which the game
is played. In both parties there are factions who are raising
the red flag of rebellion and it is almost impossible, at this
time, to foretell just what effect this strife is going to have on
the final result. Some there may be who will take a walk;
others, more human will prefer riding and will take advantage
of the first opportunity presented to hop on someones band
wagon.
On the Republican side of the battle line, competition for
supremacy and leadership has begot much activity. At this
writing Governor Alfred Landon of the State of Kansas seems
to be the favorite with Senator William E. Borah and Colonel
Frank Knox making a strong bid for preference. One of the
factors entering the situation is the unknown desires and ambi
tions of ex-President Herbert Hoover. The titular head of his
party, his entrance and activities into national affairs during
the past few months have caused many to wonder. We can
oqly wait to see what we shall see.
TALES TWICE TOLD
There are some things characteristic of Americans as a nation
that is beyond ordinary human understanding. In all matters
pertaining to the relief of human suffering, want, and misery,
not a nation on earth equals us in which aid is rendered without
regard to cost. Organization is at hand, ready to function at
a moment’s notice to provide succor to the distressed, mitigate
the pain of the disabled and grief stricken, and give food and
shelted to the hungry and homeless.
.During the past few weeks our sense of shock have become
almost dulled by the occurence of disaster upon disaster. Hor
rifying stories of the loss of human life in nearly every section
of our country fill us with fear lest we be unable to meet each
recurring calamity as we should. We shudder at the hideous
ness of it all and begin to wonder when and where the next
blow will fall. The lightning like rapidity with which lives
are snuffed out simply stuns us.
And yet, notwithstanding it all, unless steps are taken to stop
the steady toll, the automobile will, in the next few months,
maim and cripple more people, send more souls to their heavenly
reward, possibly create a greater loss in property values, AND,
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT!
Our courts seem almost supine in their ability to check the
terrific toll. Into this question of protection to human life
every citizen should lend his earnest influence and assistance
toward the enactment and enforcement of wise laws that will
absolutely prevent the waste.
The reckless abandon with which many drivers attempt to
save three seconds to get to a given point and then spend an
hour wondering where to go next, the lightheartedness with
which others show an absolute disregard for the rights is bad
enough, the reckless one is worse. Pitiless publicity and proper
punishment is the only cure for these curses.
THE CITY OF OPPORTUNITY
Yesterday’s issue of the Daily Times carried a news item that
should hold the attention of all. When one of the largest and
most successful merchandising concerns of the country decides
to locate in Savannah, it is the highest possible proof that pros
pects are bright and prosperity has turned the corner and is
coming our way.
Such concerns do not reach hasty conclusions nor do they
make decisions involving the investment of possibly hundreds I
of thousands of dollars, without painstaking investigation of all
the factors that make for success. Dependent, as they are,
upon volpme of trade, now and in the future, their final deter
mination to enter into a long time lease on valuable Broughton
street property is, in itself, safe assurance of Savannah’s future
as a trading point. •
Many of the ills men suffer from are imaginary. Merchants
are but men, subject to the traits and weaknesses of mankind.
The depression, now passing, has taught many men lessons
which will be of profit to them throughout the years. One, the
dangers that are hidden under the mantle of unholy fear. Like I
the thief that comes in the night, fear robs men of courage, I
initiative, and the fortitude to fight on. (
The other lesson is CONFIDENCE; confidence in one’s self, in
one's community ; and confidence in the future. Had this large
concern not had confidence in itself, confidence in our commun
ity and confidence in the future of Savannah, no superior sales-,
manship could have attracted it here. Reduced to a few simple
words, it is the result of the tedious and untiring efforts of the
Savannah Chamber of Commerce and the Industrial Commission
of Savannah that has focused the attention of the manufactur-1
ing and nierchandising interests of the nation to the splendid
opportunities for expansion offered by Savannah. We have
passed of depression, are on the upgrade, and the mo- 1
akentum of progress will, with each coming month, be increased.

No Labor Party INow
BUT THERE MAY BE FORMIDABLE ONE IN 1940
John L. Lewis Decrees

By CHARLES P. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer
WASHINGTON, April 9—While
this does not appea. to be the right
year for • new political party to
make much of a start, if any, there
are signs of the birth of a new
political party to make much of a
start, if any, there are signs of the
birth of a new one in time to make
a formidable showing in 1940.
In fact, John L. Lewis’ declara
tion that he is unw’lling to support
a labor party movement during the
coming campaign strongly implied
that he may be willing to do so
four years hence Any movement
to which the United Mine Workers’
ment of president finally does
give his support unquestionably
will be a movement of plenty of
importance; nothing in which
Lewis takes an influential part is
to be regarded otherwise than ser.
iously.
If such a party does evolve itself
it probably will be a farmer-labor
party rather than exclusively a
labor party.
• • •
SWING AN ELECTION?
When Lewis launched his fight
for the reorganization of labor out
of craft and into broad industrial
units it immediate.y was apparent
that a setup of the type he contem
plates could not long keep out of
partisanship, as the A. F. of L.
always has mcceeded in doing.
And that he is progressing rapid
ly with his industrial unionization
program is obvious.
If he attains his expected 30 to 40
million membership (in all indus
tries) and if the outfit votes as a
unit and if the farmers then are
added to his alignment—can he
swing an election?
* * *
FARMERS INDIVIDUALISTIC
I have no doubt Lewis will effect
unionization, maybe not to the im
mediate tune of 30 or 40 million
but running into substantial figures.
I’m not so sure of the farmers;
they are an individualistic crew.
Still, it is conceivable. There is
a farmer-labor party already, with
a senator, a quarter of a dozen re
presentatives and a governor—a

MEMBERS OF THE INITIAL CLAN
COPYRIGHT, CENTRA L PRESS ASSOCIATION
ED SMITH was a mailman in a
small Ohio town. For 20 years Ed
had been carrying letters and agri
cultural journals to the town’s resi
dents, most of whom were retired
farmers, and their families.
Everyone ,in town knew Ed Smith.
He knew everyone and his private
business, but no one cared, for every
body knew that whatever Ed found
out about them, and what he saw, he
would keep to himself.
Ed was a friend to everybody and
everything, and one of his closest
companions was a dog, Sam, of doubt
ful pedigree, really just a mongrel
mutt. But despite his background,
Sam was as faithful and devoted as
any dog could be.
Sam really was the property of one
of the town’s farmer residents. That
is to say, he was found, after a fash
ion, by the retired farmer. Where
he came from no one knew, but one
stormy night he was heard whining
outside the farmer’s door, and the
latter allowed him to enter the house
and get warm. After that night he
made his home with the farmer.
Probably it would be more correct
to say that Sam just boarded at the
farmer’s house, for all day long, ev
ery day, he was with Ed Smith. It
was only a few days after his arrival
in town that Sam began trailing at
the heels of Ed while the latter made
his rounds with his mail. Then, for
eight years afterward, every day, Sam
could be seen trailing around with
Ed Smith.
• • •
SAM EVEN got to know when it
was Sunday, Ed’s day of rest. On that
day he wouldn’t wait for Ed to come
along but would scamper over to Ed’s
house and spend the day with him.
How he could pick out Sunday from
other days, no one ever found out.
Perhaps he got to know it because
the people he lived with always slept
later that day, or perhaps he under
stood Ed when he said from the
force of habit every Saturday as he
completed his route, “Well, another
I week gone!”
Anyway, Sam knew when it was
Sunday, the day when he and Ed did
different things. But every other day,
Sam would be on the job. He would
wait on the porch until Ed came
along, regardless of how cold it might
be, and then fall into step with him
after greeting him with joyous barks.
•' It eventually became a ritual, as eat
ing and sleeping for both man and
dog, and Ed couldn’t Imagine a day
without him. He even encouraged the
' friendship by getting some meat for
Sam every day at the corner meat
market.
I SAM CONSIDERED it his duty to
protect Ed against all the other dogs
lin town, and he did so effectively,
for he was a vicious fighter.
But one day a new dog appeared
on the route. It was a small Pomera
nian with a long pedigree. Sam was
no bully and he kne whe was larger
than the little dog. So he just growl
ed menacingly to warn him away
from Ed. But Ed. the friend of man
and beast, went up to the little dog
and patted it on the head.
| Ed had displayed such affection for
other dogs in the town before, but
this was a new dog. And so, after
Ed had displayed such affection for
i other dogs in the town before, but
this was a new dog. And so, after
Ed had given similar attention to the
i puppy for several days thereafter, a
change came over Sam. He became
jealous of the new dog, and Ed no
ticed it.
It was a week after their first
meeting that Sam, apparently decid
ing not to let anything interfere

Yet even Lewis cannot assemble
a majority of America’s votes on
too exceedingly short notice. A
couple of years probably is none
too long an estimate for his con
solidation of industrial unionism,
plus a year or two longer to annex
the farmers.
Lewis’ account is that he is sat
isfied for the present with Presi
dent Roosevelt and wants to re.
elect him— aft»r which he will have
"no commitments.”
My own guess is that be does not

It isn’t.

NOT A GOOD NAME
“Farmer-labor” isnt an overly
good name for a political party.
Many folk who work for a living
are not farmers and are not recog
nized by labor as laborers, but only
as white-collarites.
“Where do they get off at?”
speaking colloquially.
However, maybe John L. Lewis
will hit on some more inclusive
designation.
The right terms are "conserva
tive” and “liberal”, the conserva
tives shading off into reactionaries
and the liberals into radicals.
The dividing line s not clean,
cut.
As Secretary of State Cordell
Hull (a liberal, I think once re
marked to me, when in the senate,
“about 75 per cent of our side are
right and 25 per cent are wrong;
about 25 per cent of the other side
are right and 75 per cent are
wrong; there isn’t an exact distinc
tion."
♦ * ♦
IN 1940
The situaiton in 1940 will depend
on conditions in the meantime.
If there is a bulge in business
and employment (employment and
wages especially) there will not be
a chance for a new party—John L.
Lewis’ or any other left wing lead
er’s.
Contrarywise, a new group may
decide the 1940 election.

The slothful man roasteth not

with hi« friendship for Ed, attacked
the small dog when he and Ed stop
ped at the house to deliver mail. Ed
tried to part them, and Sam. in his
fury, gnashed wildly at Ed’s hand.
His teeth sank into the hands and
tore the flesh.
Ed thought nothing of the wound
and when he got home he merely
put an antiseptic on it and let it go.
But three days later it began to swell
up. He still thought it was nothing
and neglected going to a doctor. And
when he did go the doctor told him
he had blood poisoning.
A week later Ed died of the infec
tion. Sam waited outside Ed’s house
while the funeral was held and then
followed the cars to the cemetery.
There his owner saw him and took
him home. The next day he disap
peared.
The cemetery keeper found Sam
when he went over to Ed’s grave in
a few days to remove the wilted
flowers. Week from hunger and ex
posure, Sam evidently had been at
the grave since he disappeared. He
growled weakly as the keeper tried
to remove him, and then lapsed into
unconsciousness. He never recovered.

if he didn’t make good he (the man

for impersonating a human being.

with nothing more than a yen

Is There Recompense
In Reconstruction and Replacements
For Flood Damages?
Many commentators are saying that
the flood losses will be made up in
increased orders for goods and bridge
and road replacements, etc.
As one who has been through
many floods, this writer b:gs leave
to disagree. A flood loss is a total
loss.. Some industries may "benefit”
but the total amount of money ex
pended for all Industries will not be
equivalent to the property and wage
lolj sustained.
There may be sales, there may be
orders, there may be relief work,
there may La a great deal of money
flowing into afflicte. regions—but all
of that comes out of somebody’s
pockets. In other words, such money
is not “made” wealth, that creates the
semblance of prosperity during wars
(or in preparations for wars) when
governments spend huge sums for
armaments.
Worst of all, flood losses bear
heaviest on the small householder,
the wmall merchant. He usually has
no sales, in new orders. He has not
the capital to begin all over again.
And it probably is "unconstitution
al” for the gr eminent to set him
on his feet again. Billions far relief
but not one cent for reconstructive
purposes.
DISPERSE INDUSTRY
For the good cf the country and
for the good of workers as well as
the entire popuation. would it not
be wise to diffuse industry?
Is it not economically wasteful and
sometimes discstraus to have huge
industries segregated in large centers
such as Pittsburgh?
River valleys are tempting sites for
1 industries. Coal and oil can be trans
; ported easily: and finished products
can be shipped from mills with a
minimum of effort.
But congested valleys of streams
that rise in mountains are dangerous.
Every oh tructi’n. every narrewing
of channel heightens the risk, as at
Pittsburgh. There, the rivers are
hemmed in to such an extent that
they cek an outlet through the cen
ter of the city itself in floods such
as the recent one.
Floods are inevitable.. Their oc
currence may be by tre
mendous efforts ever a long period
of years, but theid inevitability must
be accepted.
Then, why not diffuse the indus
tries of Pittsburgh? Why build more
plants there? Why not begin new j
communities, less susceptible to inevi
table damage?
As one who admires the grandeur
of Pittsburgh, this writer neverthe
less Is compelled to say that cmcen
traticn of vast industries in those
river alleys is foolhardy.
Ana concentration of hundreds of
thousands of workers in the virtual
tenements of large cities Is even a
worse catastrophe to humanity than
these spectacular floods.
FARM FACTORY
COMMUNITIES
Henry Ford has advocated for
years the construction of model farm
industry communities.
Workers thus may live in small
homes among their own gardens or
small farms.
Anr towns will be clean. For wa
terpower and electricity will be the
generating forces. There will be no
need to be near streams upon which
coal can be towed.
If the recent floods will cause such
a migration cf Industry andi workers,
then, indeed, will there have been a
direct gain to the total wealth. Per
-1 haps only then.

DID HOFFMAN’S FIGHT
TO RE-OPEN THE HAUPTMANN CASE
AID DEMOCRATS OR NOT?
By LESLIE EICHEL
Central Press Staff Writer
MANY WRITERS now say that
New Jersey will go Democratic in
the. national election because Gov.
Harold G. Hoffman, Republican, in
terceded for Bruno Richard Haupt
mann.
National Republicans are not of
that opinion. New Jersey is one of
the few states that they account
among the “certificates.”
Many other writers say that Illi
nois will go Republican because of
the bitter fight between Gov. Henry
Horner -and the' 1 Nash-Kelly Demo,
cratic machine in Chicago.
Yet there is a possibility that the
bitter Republican fight among eight
or nine candidates for the guberna

Republican party in the state even
worse than the Democrats have
been split.
As a matter of fact, observers in
closer contact with tjie people are
saying that the national election
will be won or lost chiefly on econ

how various groups will be faring

toward President Roosevelt —some
