Many an inspiring lesson we have learned from the recent boxing contest held in New York. A German young man 30 years Of age came over to match his wits, his brawn and bis heart against a contestant hailed as "the greatest of all time." But this was not all that this foreign chap had to beat down, in order to come out a winner. Outside his own manager and handlers, he stood alone in his contention that he could not fail-He had the claims of four or fl ve hundred expert sporting writers to beat, as welL He himself had never been hailed from the houb tops as anything "super." As a former world's champion, he had been beaten. He no longer had the youth of. his newly famous opponent ui Max Schmeling, however, entered the boxing arena for nis contest with something that even the wisest of critics and experts had completely ignored.

Now the story can be told. He had a secret He was the Man Unafraid. It Couldn't Be Done But He Did It," wa the theme for Eddie Guest's most famous poem. We are a fickle lot we human beings. We are carried away by glamor, spectacles and ap plause.

We like crowd association. We are forever shoving aside "the fellow over there, who has concealed within his breast a stout heart the Man Unafraid. Fame, however, is a fleeting furor. Even the Man Unafraid taste its sweetness for but a moment! There are more substantial affairs in this world than me" winning and the sound of cheers. Silently carrying on unafraid and unheeding of all criticism and discouragement for Instance.

The President, Mr. Lipp-mann believes, has made another complete flop, he "has changed his direction as decisively as he did when he scrapped the 1932 platform." The "collectivist philosophy," symbolized by the New Deal has been "discarded as abruptly as it was adopted," and President Roosevelt has now "come back to the ideas of Bryan, the elder LaFollette, Wilson and Borah." Instead of the "planned economy," on which the New Deal was staked and which it has so signally and miserably failed, the Roosevelt emphasis is now on fighting monopoly, and particularly on the restoration of free competition, of the equality of opportunity.

The significance of this change of front, has a very important bearing on the coming campaign. It means that the major experiments of the New Deal, such as the NRA and the AAA, have failed and that the President knows they have failed. At Philadelphia, everyone carefully refrained from suggesting that any of those ill-advised theories would be revived. The issue of an amendment to the Constitution to make their revival possible was dodged. While every effort was made to keep up the New Deal front, to act as if the New Deal had been a great success and would be continued along the same lines, explicit pledges to continue it were conspicuously absent.

The fact is that practically everything embraced in the term New Deal has either failed, been abandoned or overthrown by the Supreme Court. The people have lost confidence in it. No doubt the President would be glad to forget about it and reach for some new slogan with a popular catch to it, like "fight monopoly," trusting to Roosevelt luck that the people will overlook the fact that this is the principle already adopted by the Republican candidate. Unfortunately for his purpose, the President after investing almost 20 billion dollars of taxpayers' money in New Deal experiments, will not be permitted calmly to forget about it. The New Deal is the issue, try as he may to avoid it.

REMARKABLY SUCCESSFUL "REMARKABLY successful was the seventh annual gliding and soaring meet which came to a close in Elmira Sunday. The pilots in their powerless planes soared a total of 1,200 counting only the flights of 10 miles or more. To this could be added many thousand miles more of flight, if there were any way of measuring the distance traveled by those who did ridge soaring and hovered for hours over the fields. The records show there were 321 hours of flying, equal to 13 3-8 days, more than double the record of any previous The weather was propitious this year. Sustaining winds were prevalent on many days in contrast to former years when there were whole weeks of almost perfect calm.

The meet this year attracted thousands of visitors who came to marvel at what the motorless flyers could do. Some came long distances and all were well repaid for their journey. The fame of Elmira is fast spreading all over the world. Americans have become aware that in Elmira a great, unique spectacle is to be witnessed every year that is well worth seeing. Next year the meet is to be international.

Pilots of many foreign lands will be invited to come here to contest for honors and valuable prizes. Attendance, gratifyingly large this year, should be more than doubled at the 1937 meet. Elmira is the only place in the Western Hemisphere which has the terrain and the equipment for gliding and scaring on an extensive scale. Elmira thus has a distinction and a prestige which make it noted the world over. The pioneering done here in gliding and soaring is beginning to reap a rich reward; and this is only the beginning.

Elmirans will, be amazed at the throngs future meets will attract, now that people have begun to realize more fully how spectacular and marvellous the annual' aerial exhibitions are. An old hymn of my boyhood began with the words, "Tell me the old, old story This hymh might well be sung as we enter the 1936 national campaign, for the old, old story of issues that seemingly never die is being told. Is BUREAUCRACY a new Issue? More than a quarter of a century ago, in 1908, the Democrats were eager to oust the Republicans from office, and here is one of the things their platform said: "During the past year, 23,784 (officeholders) were added, costing $16,156,000, and, in the past six years of Republican administration, the total number of new offices created, aside from many commissions, has been 99,319. We denounce this great and growing increase in the number of officeholders as not only unnecessary and wasteful but also as clearly indicating a deliberate purpose on the part of the administration, to keep the Republican party in power at public expense." Is EXTRAVAGANCE a new issue? Seventy-aix years ago, in 1860, the platform on which Abraham Lincoln first ran for the Presidency had this to say about the Buchanan administration: "That the people justly view with alarm the reckless extra-- vagance which pervades every department of the federal government; that a return to rigid economy and accountability is indispensable to arrest the systematic plunder of the public treasury by favored parti- Is DICTATORSHIP a new issue? Thirty-two years ago, in 1904, the Democratic platform had this to say: "We favor the nomination and election of a President imbued with the principles of the Constitution, who will set his face sternly against executive usurpation of legislative and judicial functions, whether that usurpation be veiled under the guise of executive construction of existing laws, or whether it takes refuge In the tyrant's plea of necessity or superior wisdom." It would be a great service if some newspaper would list in parallel columns' these ver recurring planks with their charges and counter-charges which are seemingly used by either party depending upon whether it is in or out at the time. Beginning with the first platform and ending with 1936, this would be an enlightening demonstration.

It would show one thing, am sure, and that is that little dependence can be put upon the heated generalizations of party platforms. Let's insist that the 1936 campaign shall be fought in terms of an actual audit of detailed policies and the clear trends they indicate.

WALLACE notes the possibility of a weather change in the United States that is to make drouths a frequent occurrence from year to year. He bases this suggestion upon the drouths of 1930, 1934 and 1936 and the fact that history records that climate changes have turned wide areas into arid lands, forcing the migration of peoples.

The Secretary, however, is quick to say that it is altogether too early to conclude that a permanent climate change has come upon North America. Some regions of the world, like Asia Minor, are supposed to have been turned into dry, arid areas by the destruction of trees. Tree destruction could scarcely explain the recent drouths in the United States, for the cutting of forests has not been a sudden thing, like the arrival of these dry seasons. Drouths, moreover, are not new to the country. They have occurred as far back as the records go and possibly they were as severe as those of recent times.

But because of the scant population and because the farming was not conducted over such wide areas with modern machinery the severity of earlier drouths did not make the record of damage and hardships now suffered. Nevertheless, it seems logical that more severe drouths should be expected in this country. Tree growth has been considerably reduced over wide areas. Even relatively small sections of forest growth increase the rain fall. This has been observed and demonstrated in a scientific manner.

Glaciers in the far north have been receding for a long time and the retreat has been great enough to be marked within a generation. This seems to indicate a warming of the climate in North America. men for use in feeding cattle, mis might just as well junk a million dollar3' worth of recently purchased equipment Q.

BYRD, Virginia Democrat who is critical of many New Deal measures, has appealed for a national public sentiment which would "compel a drastic reduction of public spending." Most assuredly the situation demands this. On June 30 the government's fiscal year came to a close with a record peacetime deficit of approximately $4,750,000,000.

In this is included $1,773,000,000 allotted for bonus bonds. this veterans' cost the deficit would be somewhat less than last year's, but still in the billions. And surely it is startling that the bonus outlay, long regarded as a huge contingent expense, accounts for only a little over a third of the deficit! What about the present fiscal year? In view of the vast total of appropriations made by the last Congress, most of which will apply to the year beginning July 1, it is certain that another big deficit will be recorded. And so it goes. The total of the national debt rolls up by billions each year.

The date when the budget will be balanced is set further and further in the future. Such continual government borrowing, in France as well as in Germany, was the prelude to the disastrous inflation of the postwar years. Secretary Morgenthau puts the best possible face on the situation by referring to "recoverable assets" on loans, which he estimates at about four billion dollars, as well as to the $2,700,000,000 balance in the Treasury's general fund and the two billion dollars of gold devaluation ''profit" in the stabilization fund. But he himself estimates total expendi-. tures for the present fiscal year, excluding debt retirement charges, at $8,500,000,000.

That is a long, long way from a balanced budget! It's all too evident that the present administration is taking no effective steps toward balancing income and outgo. In the face of sweeping claims for recovery, relief outlay continues at close to the high record. Nevertheless, the New Dealers have not been able to carry through their prqptfsals on the scale they planned. If the Supreme Court would- permit, or new appointments changed the complexion of the high tribunal, then, perhaps, the administration would really "go places," with respect to extension of federal power, increase of federal jobs and increase of debt. It is for the voters to decide this fall whether this sort of thing is to continue.

Ordinary prudence and good sense demand calling a halt to this extravagance, by turning out of office the men responsible for such waste and extravagance!

The sanitary conditions of dairies were also subject to improvement by this ordinance. Bacterial Analysis Made Not until 1890 were bacterial analyses of milk made, first by Dr.

William T. Sedgwick, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He reported on the milk supply of Boston, and not particularly favorably. In 1831 the Walker-Gordon Laboratories provided a superior grade of milk for infant feeding formulas. But the improvement which brought a good grade of milk to NO HARM IN HIM He always is pained by any intimation that his jokes are in any way vicious.

The car owners will spend this money instead of the state. No doubt they will get more satisfaction out of spending it than if they had to let some one else do the spending. Last year New York motorists paid 56 million dollars in gasoline taxes and that is lot of money.

When the tax was jumped one cent, says Petroleum Industries, a loss of business resulted. The State Tax Commission figured it at 3 per cent. The present reduction should bring about a gain. The purchase of thousands of half year license plates will make the gain seem still greater. Since May 1929, the state motorists have paid 264 million dollars in gasoline taxes, not to mention what they paid for license plates and other automobile taxes.

Such taxes used to be regarded as a tax on luxury, but now it is more of a tax on business and labor. from. Then he realized that it nice big hole in you. Vince!"
