That is why those who really wish to oppose the New Deal will have to look for their inspiration in the general direction indicated by Senator Borah. If I I ftf Through permission of the New York Herald Tribune, The Journal reprints this article by Mr. Lippman In which he tells why he thinks the Republican Party "would be disastrously defeated under the leadership of the Old Guard." By WALTER LIPPMAXN In interpreting the significance of the Illinois primary election, it is necessary to remember that over one million voters were not heard from at all.

For there appear to have been about 2,130,000 votes cast whereas in 1932 the two major parties polled about 3,300,000 votes. Now on the face of the returns the Democrats have well over 60 per cent of the vote, a percentage which would be described as a landslide. In 1932 they had only 57 per cent Thus they could be defeated only if two-thirds of the stay-at-home vote on Tuesday goes over to the Republicans in November and if Senator Borah's followers stay with the Republican candidate. Yet when all possible allowances have been made for the stay-at- home voters, the verdict rendered in Illinois is still overwhelmingly decisive on one point. It is that conservative Republicanism is at a hopeless discount in Illinois.

It was able to muster onlv about one vote' out of five cast It did not enlist th mmnort of more than 20 ner cent of the electorate.

District Dedicates bined outnumbered him perhaps Ior 01 course ne nas not Deen con-five to one sistent, to create new privileges to Interlaken School is frequently vague. But he holds it instinctively. It is the habit of his mind, and where the issue is clearly drawn, he will almost al ways be found fighting in this his toric tradition of American liberal ism. Mr. Roosevelt, on the other hand has no such instictive appreciation of American liberalism in this, its oldest and most authentic, sense He is disposed to think that these old liberal principles no longer fit the modern world, that they belong to a horse-and-buggy age, and that the future, is to bring a very highly organized society controlled by very powerful government.

Thus he is not much concerned about the old safeguards of liberty. What he is really concerned about Is suffi cient power to provide security and the good things of life for every body. Though it may horrify him to hear it said, he approaches the social problem in the manner of what in England would te called a Tory philanthropist, of one whose sympathy for the people expresses itself in a desire to help them rather than in a desire to let them help themselves. Thus he has tried to present the farmers with monop- olistic privileges equal to those en joyed by certain industrialists, to present wage-earners wun govern ment-createa iaDor unions. No one can doubt for a moment the sincerity of his passion to have privileges more widelj shared.

SHELTON New Location 814 N. Aurora St a To Get Jobs District Engineer Conley Ap pointed Liaison Officer to Co-ordinate Task of Trans erring Relief Labor to Pri vate Employment Rolls In an effort to speed up the trans fer of labor from the WPA payroll into private employment, James Conley, who is district WPA engi neer, has assumed the added duty of liaison officer between the WPA, the National Re-employment Serv ice, and private contractors. His appointment to this task launches a new system devised by WPA officials, to seek co-operation among contractors in providing steady employment for workers transferred from WPA to PWA projects and road construction. In several recent instances, men transferred to private payrolls have complained that they were given work for only two or three days a week and drew less pay for their services than they did on WPA prc- jects. Mr.

Conley thinks this difficulty can be eliminated, providing the contractors will co-operate. jsunuuaneousiy this an nouncement, Lester W. Herzog, up state wfa administrator, outlined to district directors a new system of allocating WPA funds, intended to expedite local projects. Bee-in ning jviay each district will re ceive lump sum allocations twice monthly, and district directors will be given lump sum allocations twice monthly, and district directors will be given more leeway in determin ing which projects are to be ex pedited and which held back in a particular month.

Cham ber Head and Cornell Trus tee, Also Scores Govern' ment Intervention in Busi ness Upward Trend Good The American business system is nne of the finest things ever devel oped and shouldn't be tossed aside overmgnt. With this declaration Harper Sib ley, president or tne united States Chamber of Commerce, concluded an address in Bailey Hall Friday night Acknowledging a need for reform in business practices, he nevertheless contended, "the fault, however, lies not in the system; it Is with the individual. Mr. Sibley's concern was government activity in business. His comments were in no way a diatribe against the New Deal but rather a questioning attitude on the ultimate results from federal intervention in the industrial realm.

Four examples were cited by Mr. Sibley, who is trustee of Cornell, contradictory to a political system which had permitted America to become a leader In the industrial world because of an opportunity to move forward without political interference. It was the freedom of opportunity which gave this country its ranking, he maintained, not that our business men were smarter than Europeans or others. Raps New Deal Spending The first of "unbusinesslike" practices engaged in by the present government, Mr. Sibley said, "is the vast expenditures far exceeding our receipts.

It is way out of balance and is causing business men much concern." A need for stabilized currency between nations and Europe's refusal to talk stabilization with the United States "until our house is put in order," was offered as a second reason for existing uncertainty. "Tax dollars are being used for competition with private industries," the speaker added, recalling dam construction to permit electrical power manufacture and slum clearance projects. Mr. Sibley argued that utility firms could not hope to compete with the government in manufacturing cheap power. Scores Bureaucracy The federal government is taking over more and more control of private business without considering the alternative," the speaker said.

"As this bureaucratic control expands we find ourselves approaching a condition similar to that in European countries. This federal government has started out to do things no federal government ever attempted before. "Few realize what It may ultl- mately lead to. Not only will our economic life be controlled but we lr that of speech, of assembly and ed ucation." Mr. Sibley told his audience "the great improvement in business is encouraging." He said that even those businesses hit hardest by the depression "are coming back very well." Weather Sun sets at 6:58 p.

Mr.

Borah, or a candidate who represented his sreneral tioint i ut, valf A oonMoU mmtJ ii ent showing, get nowhere at all. Now there are many Republicans, especially in the East, who think there is no real difference between Borah and Roosevelt But there is a difference, it seems to me, and a very deep one. The two men are alike in their general feeling that large corporate wealth has exer cised too much power. But they are radically different in their gen- eral feeling as to how to deal with the problem. te Senator Borah is in the main, apart from certain aberrations such as prohibition and the tariff, a lineal descendant from the earl iest American liberals, an indi vidualist who opposes all concen ratinn nnvritr.

Church, president of the Board of Education, dedi cated the building as a monument to those "pioneers of log cabin days and also to the far-sighted citizens who had courage to vote in favor of a new building in time of economic stress, although it meant the accumulation of a large debt" Miss Mernette L. Chapman, dis trict superintendent, and the Rev.

R. D. VanWagenen, also spoke. The program concluded with selections by the Central School Girls Glee Club and the school or chestra and benediction by the Rev. G.

Stuart Hogan. Public Makes Inspection The members of the Board of Education are Judge Church, H. C. Peterson, Arthur S. Knight, W.

Wheeler, treasurer; George W. My- er, Fred W. Blauvelt and Principal Norton. After the exercises, the building was inspected by the public. It was first occupied Jan.

6. The first record of any school in Farmer, the old name for Inter laken, was in 1812 when school was held in a log house owned by Eb- enezer RusselL In 1842 a foundation laid on the Blauvelt lot and a framed there. Public sentiment was against this location and the build ing was moved to another lot, and used until about 1853, when the Board of Education purchased the present school lot for $300. District Consolidated In 1901 With the growth of the village there was a corresponding need for more school room and a wing was added. In 1900 a proposition was submitted to raise $10,000 for the erection of a new school building.

In 1901 the school district was consolidated with District 13 which brought into being a new Farmer Union Free School and Academy. In 1903 Farmer Village changed its name to Interlaken and at the same time the academy became known as the Interlaken Senior High School. Thus it remained for 30 years. On June 8, 1934, the villagers met and voted for the new Central School District The district comprises the former Interlaken High School, District 14, and Rural Districts 4, 6, 8, 9 and 12 of the Town of Covert; Districts 3, 4 and 5 of the Town of Ovid, and Districts 8 and 9 of the Town of Lodi. District 6 of the Town of Ovid will join next year.

In a year and a half, district pupils occupied new building, at Interlaken, built with PWA funds. And Friday night, residents of the district formally dedicated the new building. ine scnoois auditorium was filled to capacity as townspeople heard Dr.

Ray P. Snyder, director of the division of rural education of the state Education Department, say. "I am not here merely to help you dedicate your new and beautiful building; I am hese to tninK aiong witn you in your future problems of education." 366 Pupils Attend Three hundred and sixty-six pupils are now being taught by a faculty of 16, headed by D. P. Norton, principal.

For providing the school for these pupils, Doctor Snyder com mended the citizens of the district and assured them of the full co operation of the Education Department. 'There are at least two institu tions that no community can be without, the church and the school. and your community has gone a long way toward the full realization of both. You are here not only to dedicate your new school building, but to celebrate a new effort of your community," Doctor Snyder said. Judge Dedicates Building The program of dedication opened Atlantic states, the Ohio Valley and the gulf states, while another area of high pressure dominates the upper valleys and the Northwest.

Low pressure overlies the upper lakes and extends in a trough southwestward to the lower plateau region. Light rains have fallen over the upper lakes and upper valleys. Temperatures are rising east of the Mississippi River. ITHACA TEMPERATURES Highest past 24 hours up to 8 a. 44; lowest, 24; highest year ago, 58; lowest, 38.
