AL SMITH TAKES HIS "WALK" Al Smith, the fish market boy who became governor of the state of New York and the Democratic party's nominee for president in 192S, has taken his threatened "walk." In a dramatic speech delivered in his native New York city Thursday evening, the nan who has been a life-long Democrat, any lingering doubts that he was unalterably opposed to the present leadership of his party. But he went farther than that he charted his course all the way into the ranks of Landon supporters by a declaration that "I firmly believe that the remedy for all the ills that we are suffering from today is the election of Alfred M. Landon." Smith's forthright declaration in favor of the Republican presidential nominee was the final step in h4 repudiation of the present national administration. Prior to Thursday evening he had made it clear that he was anti-Roosevelt, but the question of whether he would go as far as to endorse Landon was unanswered. Smith has now given the answer in words that all can understand.

Already it has been said that Smith has read himself out of the Democratic party. But Smith himself made it plain that he has no such thought. Roosevelt, he maintains, is the leader of the New Deal party, but has forfeited any claims to leadership of the party of Jefferson. He charged Roosevelt with failure to carry out the platform of the Democratic party in 1932 and with backing other than Democrats for high office in Nebraska, Minnesota and Wisconsin. In justifying his own course, Smith said he was an American before he was anything else and "can be relied upon to cherish and preserve the great principles upon which this country was founded and which, in my belief, without them it cannot endure." Smith's New York speech was his first of the campaign, but it will be followed by engagements at Philadelphia, Boston and Illinois.

How effective will be his influence is speculative, but there can be little doubt that the gain, if there is any, will be Lan-don's. Smith in the past, as a Democrat, has wielded undoubted influence in New York, Massachusetts, Illinois and other states. He now steps into a new role and it remains to be seen how many Democrats will be willing to join him in his walk. Smith will be both praised and condemned. But one thing is sure it took courage to do what Smith did.

But before that, wholly within signally free from distorted news written or emphasized for purposes PUBLIC OPINION path you've made for me. Thank you, you're all darlings and I love you all." She sat down believing what she. had said. "Three days more and you could have celebrated your birthday with a national holiday," someone said. "By the way, what is everyone doing on Columbus day?" Kathleen and Kim were driving to Washington with Kim's mother.

Everyone had plans. Allx thought that would be a good day to do exactly nothing of any importance. A day to catch up with herself. Her career had left little time for that For, when she had finished at the office at five these autumn afternoons, Kathleen frequently picked her up and, in Kathleen's car, they had hurried out to Westchester to the golf club to play a few holes before the autumn twilight fell. Alix eyed her clubs ruefully the afternoon before the holiday and wished that Kathleen was not going to WTaehington.

The golf bag beside her desk was a sad reminder that the next day would be lonesome the period of the New Peal, It had risen ten times as much, about 55 per rent. Fluctuations over short of propaganda; second, that your references to those who differ with you have always been courteous and gentlemanly; and third, that your editorials have been clearly efforts to discuss issues, with no attempt to becloud the issues with periods are of little value except as an historic record.

PETERSON mors to the contrary." "That's a fine start to give me," she called over her shoulder. These new ideas were radical but so was her first proposal to engage Kleermann. And if Sayre approved them, she was sure that Warner would accept them. It might mean that she could handle the whole Warner account herself instead of having to submit idea to the copy chiefs for development. And when she arrived at that point, she would be an account executive.

Then she would be truly a success. At that point in her pleasant reverie she arrived at Sayre's office. Sayre and Warner rose at the same moment. Warner, holding out his hand, offered her his leath-er chair. She gave him her hand and took the chair Sayre indicated.

John Sayre and Bill Warner exchanged a glance like two small boys. Allx waited, saying nothing. "I've just been congratulating our friend here," Warner looked at Sayre, "on this fine job. Now it's time to congratulate you. So far, it's a fine job." "Thank you, Mr.

Warner. Of course, you know, we've only started. Has Mr. Sayre told you about our plans to put the publicity department to work We've been contacting the magazines and have several articles lined up. That is, if it meets with your approval." "Great! What do you mean by we'? I understand you've been doing all the work." Alix took that gracefully.

She said: "The entire agency, Mr. Warner." "Let's hear the rest of it." Alix referred to her notes. She told him the technical details of the coming schedule, the formulated plans for publicity, the changes necessary to keep the present ones alive. When she finished, she rose in a business-like way and prepared to leave. Warner looked at his watch.

"Suppose you join us for lunch he said. "Thank you, Mr. Warner, I'm afraid you'll have to excuse me today." She knew that she had told him all she had to tell him and that the invitation was a social one. She didn't want John Sayre to think she would take advantage of it. "I'll let you go this time but I'm going to be in town for the rest of the week.

Perhaps you'll show me a few of the sights?" He didn't look at Sayre. "Perhaps," she said and smiled not too warmly. "I'll see you here again "Yes, indeed. I have a little picture idea I'd like to talk over with you." "I'll let you know about it, Miss Carey," John Sayre said and Alix left. Warner remained in town for a be cheeked by fears of Democratic ucce.

Alix went her calm way and gave It no further thought.

If it had meant dining again with John Sayre, she would have managed it But she knew that wasn't what Warner had meant and she had no desire to seal her importance to the account with any personal friendships. Now that plans were well under way, her routine work fitted neatly into office hours and she had leisure for her own pursuits. She crowded her leisure time with play. Through Kathleen and Kim she had made many friends. Friends who were returning to town.

There were reunion parties. "Come for a cocktail when you're finished at the office," they said or, "Can you dine with us Thursday and we'll go to the opening at the Cort theater" or, "How's your bridge? Tim and Mary are coming over and we want you to join us." Out of her prize money, Allx had gone on a shopping spree, intoxicated with the stimulating things she saw in the shops. She bought wisely and well and in her new clothes, living in her small apartment, surrounded with friends she enjoyed, having work that absorbed her, Alix felt that she was a character living in a book. In a book with the climax many pages ahead. She little knew that before that story was to be finished, its plot would carry her from this bright new world into dark valleys.

On her twenty-fourth birthday, the Markoes gave her a birthday party at their house in Greenwich. A birthday party with a big cake and a mound of presents piled in front of her when dinner was finished. A camera from Kim, a wide gold bracelet from Kathleen, a lamp from the Markoes, a little evening purse, two new novels, a pair of delightfully frivolous mules, handkerchiefs from the others. Then they drank to her health and called for speeches. Alix rose unsteadily to her feet with knees that quaked just because she was unbearably happy.

"What can I say?" she said, looking at each of them in turn. "What can a girl say when she's completely overwhelmed Last year, I celebrated by birthday by going to the theater alone. This year, I have friends all of you my world is now complete. I have everything I've ever wanted. Pretty lucky girl at 24! I have no more to ask, no more to do but stay in the middle of this beautiful least nine time as great, entirely under Old Guard administration.

This small gain wa more than loet Immediately. A few days after Roosevelt' In auguration began the long rise of 55 per cent, above alluded to.

Do wa agree to th proposition that it pays to build good road to keep them in good repair, oiling and patrollng them, etc? Poes it pay to have good schools? Is It necessary to take care of the widows, the orphans, the mothers? If we agree that these activltie are not necessary, but beneficial to the people of the state, are wa any poorer for having spent the money necessary to carry out these projects? Then the question arises, by whom and how shall they be financed? Some propose a direct property tax. Others wnt to raise the money by inheritance, income, railroad, and other public utility taxea and many other ways the state has of collecting taxes where the burden does not fall upon the farmers, laborers, smaller business men, etc. But, om aay, the taxes ultimately fall upon these or the consumer anyway.

Is that really true? Is it a consistent claim? If it is true why do the millionaires, the large and wealthy corporations, the man and business Interests with large incomes, in many raes unreasonably large, always fight such taxe? Does not that fact disprove their contention? Under Schmedeman's admlns-tration supposed economy was practiced.

WAR DEBTS AND OTHERS It may surprise most citizens of Wisconsin to know that the state still owes for the Civil war. That it does to the tune of $1,183,700 was brought out in a report of the state tax commission giving figures on the public debt. Under the state constitution, the state can issue bonds only "to repel invasion, suppress insurrection, or defend the state time of war." During the Civil war the state resorted to bonding to meet expenses incident to its participation.

Some of these bonds have been retired, but none since 1932. That means that nearly two million dollars in bonds have been outstanding nearly 75 years. It would be interesting to know how the interest paid compares with the total amount borrowed. It is safe to assume, however, that interest has exceeded the total proceeds of the bonds. Another interesting statement in the tax commission's report is that counties, municipalities, towns and school districts of Wisconsin effected a reduction of nearly a million dollars in their indebtedness during 1935 as compared to 1931.

The reduction, it pointed out, was largely in the amount of bonded debt incurred for schools and public improvements. The total debt for last year was $158,726,054. In 1931 it was $168,274,907. Debts cor.trsx-d for unemployment relief reached peak in 1934 with a total of vo, This dropped slightlv in 1935 to $7,23.5 0. The school debt was reduced abotit $2,200,000.

The debt by sub-divisions in 1935 was as follows: Counties, S74.717.2SO; cities, villages, $1,110,310: towns, school districts, $5,500,705.

Thompson, safety director. This week we bring to our reader the story of the national parks isue of stamps, which the government issued in the year 193. The issue consisted of 10 stamps all of different colors and prices. The one-cent was green and had for its central design the falls of Yosemite in California. It was used to a great extent, and Is quite common, but soon It will be obsolete and its relative value will begin to increase.

The two-cent of this issue was reddish orange in color and had for its design the beautiful Grand Canyon of the Colorado. These stamps were used to pay local postage, so they will not be found in such large quantities as the one-cent, but were quite commonly used, therefore their value has not grown very much S3 yet.

issue. The new Edward stamps as mentioned here before are still on sale in the general postoffice at London. England. They will be on sale until sold out, but no more of them will be printed. This means that the present issue will be small and quite scarce.

The government of Germany believes in advising the citizens that it Is an institution of importance, for the new party day issues of the national postoffice seem to illustrate this fact. We do not appreciate the importance of this issue, but many Germans will, as time goes on, for such an issue is pure propaganda, and has no real reason for being issued except to propagandize. Hungary has issued a beautiful set of stamps for the commemoration of the city of Buda, a place known as Budapest in our terms. The reason for this is that "Budapest" are really two separate cities and have been combined in name to make one. The stamps commemorate the founding of the first named city.

Belgium has issued an attractive set of stamps for the king. New designs were used, all being of different proportions for each issue. There were three stamps in this issue. Next week we shall continue with our new issue stories. committee wnicn will direct league activities.

Suppression at Terr- Haute Not True Americanism Editor Journal: Ag so well prophesied, this is indeed getting to be a "dirty campaign." What with the use of national radio hook-ups to air intimately personal mud slinging campaigns, with the suggestion of substitution of bullets for ballots, with the resort to mob violence by "members of the American Legion, Law and Order league, Merchants Association, Americanization Committee" and others, as reported in your news columns last night, in an attempt to "European-ize" American politics and to destroy American constitutional liberty, this is indeed a "dirty" campaign.

I wish to call to the attention of those of our citizens who dare to think, these facts, which, in my judgment are supremely important in all this welter of controversy as to what is real Americanism, namely, first, that your new columns have been Man Who Sought To Impeach Hoover In Congress Is Dead New York, Oct 3 Loui T.

Shortly after the county was moved to Wautoma in 1854, the village of Sacramento died out entirely, even the buildings are said to have been moved from the ti'e to an island in a cranberry rr.arsh to house workers, so that the or.iy trace left of the oiiginal county seat an abandoned cemetery. A certified copy of the plat of Sacramento was found in the possession of Lloyd Thresher of the village of Green Lake.

The plat had been drawn up hy Henry Floyd of Berlin, then known as Strong Landing, on June II, 1830. Sacramento was located in tie southeastern corner of the tiues miles from the city now known as Berlin. As Waushara county wa at that time a part of the large county of Marquette, which included Waushara and Green Lake counties a they are today, the original plat was filed in what was then the county aeat of Marquette county.
