Published every Thursday and entered the Postoffice at Ligonier Indiana, as second class matter. : HOOVER STRIKES OUT AGAIN Fort Wayne Journal Gazette If ex-President Herbert Hoover had any idea that he might stage a political comeback with his articles in th 2 Saturday Evening Post he was mlstaken. i

Not only did he draw upon his head the attacks of friends of President Roosevelt. But he drew fire from many sources which are not friendly to Roosevelt.

It is hardly believable that the reactionary Chicago Journal of Commerce would take a fall out ng Mr. Hoover put it did.

Mr, Hearst’s Chicago Herald and Examiner which daily finds fault with the New Deal was very positive in its treatment of the fZormer Pres:dent saying: “If Hoover is the best that Republican party has to offer as a prospective candidate for the presidency the best thing for the American pec. ple to do is to re-elect Roosevelt unanimouusly.” ' The Herald and Examincr editoria) entitled, ‘“Ex-President Hoover as Critic?” follows in full:

“It is with mixed feelings that one reads the criticisms of the admini:tration by former President Hoover in the Saturday Evenng Post. “He was the most conspicuous fail-

ure in American politcal history. “With four years of opportunity, he HID nothing,, TRIED nothing and SAID nothing useful or helpful.

“He was the hired man of the privileged interests.

“In their behalf he asked Congress for extraordinary powers and began the encroachment upon popular rights of which ke now complains.

“He gave France and England the chance to repudiate their debts. “He forced through Congress =» moratorium on these debts which relieved the debtors not only of the payment of the agreed installments on the principal of what they had borrowed from us, but even of the payment of interest— the reduced inte:est on the reduced principal of the obligaticas which we, with a generosity now seen to be foolsh and unappreciated, had cut in half.

“He betrayed the interests of the American people to please dishonest intermational bankers. “From the political tomb which he now occupies—with the wide assem of his countrymen—he seeks to offer his views as to the conduct they should pursue. o - “There is truth in much that he says, ;

“The present administration is embarked on trends that involve dangerous jnnovations and present a broad conflict with constitutional principles, which have served the nation well in the past, and to which great numbers of our thoughful citizens—justly, we think—ascribe our strength, prosperty and commanding position among the nations of th> world. : : :

- ““The established principles of American life, including equal justice to all classes and maintenance of individual right, so essential to the preservation of American intiative and enterprise, will not lack defenders. =¥t is questionable, however, whether even these vital principles are served by a spokesman with the record of gx-President Hoowver. “If Hoover is the best the Republican party has to offer as a prospective candidate for the presidency the best thing for the American people to do is to re-elect Roosevelt unanimously.” The Journal of Commerce recalls in an editorial entitled,” Foul Bal! from Hoover” that Mr. Hoover ‘“was one of the heavyweights in the creation of bureaucracy.” It continues:

“Not so many years have passed since he, as Secretary of Commerce built up one of the most lavish bureaucratic services in the civilized world. He had thousands of public gervants ducking in and out doors of the old Department of Commerce building, standardizing the sizes of pipe joints and acting as a promotional agency for foreign trade as well as domestic. So extensive did the network of the Hoover bureaucracy in this one department grow that a huge new building bigger than nearly all the others had to be built to house its workers and drones.” It is a pretty hot blast coming from the newspaper of which that, arch anti-New Dealer Phil S, Hanna is editor. '

Mr. Hoover may have thought he was at Elba, but it now seems cer. tain that he is at St. Helena.

PAYING DIVIDENDS

More favorable dividend announcements were made during'alst month than any previous August for many years.

One hundred thirty-one jndustrial groups declared dividends to be distributed among stockholders, statisticse show. This compares favorably with the seventy ammouncements for August, 1933 an twentytwo for that month in 1932, the last year of Republican rule. The previous high for August was 121, this record established in 1929 and existing until this year. ; Hacouraging news in the industrial field is Jound in the reduction of unfavorable dividend announcements. In fact, August had fewer unfavorable announcements. In fact, August had fewer unfavorable announcements

than any other month of the present year, il ?

Not since August 1929 have there been fewer unfavorable anmnouncements. A comparatively small number have been made during the first sight month of 1934—a total of 146.

Favorable announcements for the first eight months of the year total 1,104. Contrasted with this tangible evidence of returning prosperity are the twelve-month totals for 1931-32. The yearlytotal in 1931 was 715, or 400 favorable declarations less than the first eight months of this year. In 1932 favojrable djeclarations totdled 400. Pup to September of this year the total favorable announcements are-nearly three *-;times as many as for the entire last year of Hoover regime.

DOe YOU BELIEVE IN SIGNS?

A lusty, confident rooster sghared the limelight with Senator Arthur R. Robinson, the ‘other day, when he was speaking at the fair grounds over at Lyons. The senator was tearing into the Constitution when the rooster fluttered to a high perch behind the speaker’s stand and began to crow, He was the perfect prototype of the Democratic ballot emblem. Frienda of the Senator hurled a bushel of -ocks at the crowing rooster before hey dislodged him and drove away he ill omen. Of course the Republican press printed not a line about t. That’s the way tgey ignored another amusing incident up at Hamnond a short time ago when a World War veteran played “Taps” the good nizht bugle call, at the mention of the Senator’s name.

Little Artie Robinson ought to ask 9. C. Stephenson, in Michigan City prison, for that copy of “The Life of John Marshall” back so that the -e.ator might read up on those words of the First Chief Justice of the inited States Supreme Court when he caid, “The Constitution is not a straight jacket.” Stephenson, the former Klan grand dragon, and the Robnion family exchanged Christmas presentss in 1924 and the book on Marshall was the Senator’s gift to 'Stcphenson. Steve gave Mrs. Robin~ son a pearl necklace and Lhe senater an expesive lodge pin.

Democratic officials in more than fifty counties have cut tax levies by large slices. They deserve real credit and a vote of confidence from farmers and home owners who formerly paid he giant’s share, Credit is due also ‘o Governor McNutt whose tax spread program has saved the schools and rade local tax cuts possible.

The new G. 0. P. slogan is “Stick to the constitution.” ;

Instead of the ’'96 slogan of “The Fu!l Dinner Pail” and later “Let Well Inough Alone” and “Two Chickens in Every Pot’ we can expect this new war cry to resound from the Atlantic on the East to the Pacific on the West andg from the Great Lakes on the Noith to the Gulf on the South. But there will be no argument in this war cry—all of us are going to stick to the constitution.—Bedford Times. /
