La Follette seems to have tried to rally on behalf of democracy some of the clVil fervor which dictators have been able to muster for Fascist and Communist states.

That was what Theodore Roosevelt gave so abundantly and it is what we need here, now that the New Deal has grown Into a somewhat flabby middle-age." "If the LaFollette movement takes hold, it will be in some measure because of the deterioration in the Democratic party. The Roosevelt New Denl is little more than a facade.

THE SIDE OF THE CONDEMNED Paul Verner, 19-year-old youth from Spencer, now serving a life sentence in the state reformatory at Anamosa for the murder last fall of his step-father, Frank Jayne, had an interesting story of his own In a national magazine, "Inside Detective," recently. As quoted in The Spencer Daily Repjrter, Verner says he has led a life that seemed a nightmare since the age of eight, when he says he was first threatened by his step-father. He also outlines a household in which any youth of tender years would eventually go mad or commit a crime- assuming that the story of Verner is true. The story Is one of beatings, threats, hatred and mental and physical torture.

There are crimes for which no excuse can bj found, nor should excuses be desired. But if Verner is telling a true story, it is easily understandable how a youth, after 11 years of such a life, should eventually reach the point where the last strand snaps, and murder results. Verner was taken out of school, which he liked, and where he was gaining fame as an athlete, because his step-father "did not believe in it." There are points to be seriously considered in behalf of the imprisoned youth. NEW PARTY POSSIBnJTTES It Is not surprising that a national leader has come forth with a call for a new national party. To persons interested in political parties, whether republican or democrat, it has been evident for some time that both parties are mis-named under present circumstances, and that the only true alignment of voters today Is based on their views as to liberalism or conservatism.

The liberal or progressive elements of the nation, be they right or wrong, have for the most part backed and supported the democratic party and President Roosevelt, as offering them ths greatest hope for progressive changes in government, as compared with the republican party. But events of the past few months have clearly shown that although the democratic party offers hopes to a liberal group, it in itself is not a party of liberals, but simply a cross-section of all types, some liberal, some conservative, and some just democrat because their grandfathers were. The republican party, too. has been trying for months to arrive nt a definite conclusion regarding itself. Hoover and Landon.

its chief loaders, do not sec- down the same alley, and its chief difference as compared with the democratic party h'ls been that whereas with the democrats, the progressives have had something to any, in the republican the conservatives outnumber the progressives and have done a good job of them to date. Hence. Governor Phi LaFollette. well aware of this fact, hns clearly defined the political trend of the future in the United States as being between two great elements or liberal as you choose to call it, and conservative. We are inclined to doubt that the new political unit can make itself powerfully felt in a short time, but we do believe that if the major political parties fumble the ball, and continue the destructive internal fighting they are now engaging in, the National Progressive party will bring into its ranks men and women from both parties whose viewpoints are liberal and progressive, in the hope that within the boundaries of a new organization, they can succeed where old-line parties have failed them One of the best signs of whether or not a new parly may tarry any future weight, the fact that every maior ol'amnut commentator whether liberal or coiiM-i'vat has the move of enough inipui'anee to devote a lull a'luinii lo tht possibilities fif such ar itiuii.

Mrs. Hanson is experienced In this type of work. Herman HnuherR is the author of a page of fine penmanship in the Palmer method textbook. Herman, some years ago, personally studied penmanship under the late Mr.

Palmer who founded the system and method, now used in practically all U. S. schools. like others, have hobbies. Berber Bill Weis has some wonderfully carved pieces at his shop, which are unusual specimens of handicraft.

Barber Carl Van Hoven carves out regulation bows and arrows in his spare time, and they make a mean looking weapon, too. in case you'ra mad at somebody. Our friends occasionally accuse us of being "nuts" on this Buy At Home subject, but we really mean in capital letters. Having gone into the furniture buying business, we've had ample opportunities to compare local and metropolitan city prices. Exactly the same suite as purchased here, was priced $22 lower 140 miles away, EXCEPT that it was three pieces at the distant point instead of four pieces as here, and a nice spring was thrown in here in addition.

Add that up. and throw in the time and expense of a round trip of 240 miles, and what do you gain. OR LOSE? A local clothier has a pair of boys' overalls, exactly the same make as sold In a large mail order house, but for five cents less locally. Add cost of postage, plus shipping' charge, plus buying where you have little chance of "making it right" if necessary, and what have you gained.

In their issue last week, they carried three full pages of gals in slacks, explaining the growth of their popularity, and the extreme benefits of comfort and freedom afforded by same. We hope that UEO of the Kossuth Advance will now admit that he has beer, on the wrong "ide of the fence what with slack season at hand and everything. fc SUCCESS STORY IN NUTSHELL: One of our more prominent Kossuth could tell the following story, if he chose, as the key to the influence that brought him success. He was thtn a young man.

Then ami there, the couple decided things would be different Kach took turns driving teams, caring for stock, working day and often nights. Today, some years later, their will-to-work has brought them peace and security.

or even three, for small animals. Two or three feel above the ground, the wires are conectcd to the 110-voIt electric supply line or to a 6-volt battery mrough a controller which governs the voltage and current so that the fence will shock livestock without injury. A survey Idaho took two years ago showed that the state's farmers are turning more and more to electric fences, are finding new uses for them. Among them: to stop hogs from rooting under woven-wire fences; to prevent animals from raiding chicken house at night; to keep cows in adjoining pastures from nosing each other, tnus prevent the spread of Bang's disease. WEEK IN WASHINGTONWASHINGTON: In a heavy week's work preparatory to his cruise, the President to congress his long-awaited message on anti-monopoly legisla- ion, signed the biggeat regular Navy appropriation in U.

S. peacetime history. While the Senate debated his $1,500,000,000 Expansion Bill, the President also put in a request for an additional $25.000.000 to provide for starling work on two more battle- ips to bring the total currently planned or under construction to lie. The President also was visttei by the man who, more than any other in the U. personifies to millions the triumph of the rugged virtues of the American Way Henry Ford.

With Motormaker Ford was his son. Edsel and Publicist William J. Cameron. It was Henry Ford's first meeting with the President since World War days when he manufactured submarine chasers for Assistant Sec- reatry of the Navy Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Had it been known, of course, the effect on prices would have been disadvantageous to consumers generally as well as to the government." Sir John Simon was. in effect, saying that U. S.

wheatmen have not been asking as much as they would have asked had not he and Prime Minister Chamberlain been so secretive, and by the same token U. S. citizens have not had to pay as much for wheat and bread as otherwise would have been the JEWISH PROPERTY, GERMANY, BERLIN: Hard pressed to find money to finance the Third Reich's armament race. Field Marshal Hermann Wilhelm Goering last week prepared to adopt outright thievery as an economy policy, signed a decree providing for confiscation of practically all Jewish property throughout Greater Germany. Jewish real estate and money holdings in Germany estimated at siooo.ooo.ooo, in- German Austria at $300,000,000.

The sweeping Goer- Ing decree demanded registration of all Jewish holdings worth more than $2,000 (5,000 marks) and forbade sales and transfers of Jew- permlsslon. also provided stiff prison terms for teealcltrantt using "Aryan" dummies or splitting up properties. Nttl spokesmen admitted that the decree was a preliminary measure to dispossession and confiscation of what Jewish wealth remained in Germany.

Storm Troopers rounded up hundreds of Jews in Vienna's parks, marshaled them Into parade formation, roared with laughter when they forced them to perform a burlesque of the goose step through the city's antusement centre.

The troopers made Jewish cafe patrons scrub floors and wash windows, and escorted through the streets customers from Jewish stores who were forced to carry signs reading: "I am an Aryan pig. I bought from a Jewish shop."

NEW YORK: In Manhattan arrived Fuhrer Fritz Kuhn of The German-American Bund after a trip to Germany and Austria. Met by two gray-coated, black-trouser- ed Bund officers, Fuhrer Kuhn brought back a message from German Jews to American Jews.

"I talked with lots and lots of Jews In Germany," Kuhn said, "and they all told me this: Tell the Jews In America to let us alone. We're all Thousands of Jews are returning to Germany and I was really surprised to see how many Jewish stores were open." BUSINESS: FIRST QUARTER NOTES- NEW YORK: "The present outlook Is very poor." said President Walter P. Paepcke of Container as he announced last week his company's ommlssion of the usual quarterly dividend. Container's first quarter net dropped off from a 1937 profit of $26,970 to a 1938 loss of $53.193, and wth few exceptions the same sort of thing was being experienced last week by almost every other U. S.
