HARRY L PORTER, JK. T Editor and Publisher Office Phone 4 — Howie Phone *®4 THURSDAY, NOV. 2*, 1434 MAIN STREET WHITT UNGS There is much political juggling going on amongst the Republican political leaders of the second congressional district. Many want to be a candidate on the Republican ticket for Congress which position was made vacant by Fred Landis' death. But many of those who want to boa candidate and their supporters will not come out in the open and say aoi in so many words but choose to hide behind a smoke screen. Out of the host who have been mentioned as candidates and who are really seeking the positibti in spite of their protestations to the contrary only two, Halleck and Kenshaw Landis, have come right out and said that they were candidates. Some of the others have said that they would serve their party and country if they were selected. Who would not serve his party and country for ten thousand dollars a year? For the good of the Republican party we hope that the Republican county chairmen of the Second district choose a young man who is in sympathy with the progressive element of their party and not someone of which it can be said: well,- ho is just another conservative old time Republican. In other words, we would like to see Halleck the candidate .to oppose Durgan. Governor Paul V. McNutt is also playing some sweet politics. Ho has said that the election for Congress man will not be until some time after the first of the year. Ho is probably figuring that election day will be cold, wet and dreary and that people will not take much interest in the election and stay away from the polls. He however plans to havo everyone who holds a patronage job to be at the polls to cast a vote for Durgan. This vote, which is considerable, might swing the election if a light vote is cast. Racketeers planned to steal an insurance company and a bank in Indianapolis, besides stealing from a Chicago bank, was the news in Sat- . urday's newspapers. Ona wonders at the audacity of the erooks, but wonders, also, at why a board of directors will sell an insurance company with assets of 813,000,000 for a down payment of 825,000. Al-| so why the bank officials agreed to sell a bank for a down payment of 826,000. The announcement of Ambassador Saito of Japan that his government would denounce the Washington Naval Treaty causes no surprise in this country. Saito said there was a tendency to “look down upon Japan as a nation which may run amuck at any moment.** Japan will never run amuck but will deliberately plan its ♦ future at the expense of other countries and if war is necessary to further her plans, war aha will make. That is why the United States and Great Britain will not accord her naval equality. Winter is coming, “Old Constipation" the iceboat which couldn't pass anything has been taken out of its summer quarters by Orval Klink, Beanie Howard and Other owners, and is now being rejuvenated and made ready for a fast winter. 9 PROGRESS. Years ago when Pilgrims, who had fled to this country from taxation without representation (feeling much as Republicans do today) they labored long and hard, and finally harvested some crops to live on during the coming winter. Being very peculiar, and B. N. D. (before the New Deal) they had a fooling they identified as gratitude, so they held a Thanksgiving Day. That custom has been kept up all ROUND TRIP TO (Chicago Every Week-end Tr, »i l o < Ssl? hU AagebeuSsMkse* BerjWbs JRares

■these years, and even jear the whole nation is supposed to have a holiday, a day of thanking Someone for the living which we all know the World Owes Us. Just a habit which no doubt will wear off as the years pass. i Already great steps havo been taken towards this gimmie-I-got-it-comin’-to-me attitude. At last, aid by the townships, counties, states and the federal government, has taught some parents, who in turn are teaching their children, that their being alive is * enough, the furnishing of necessities, yea, even comforts of life is owed to them by the taxpayers of this country. So why any Thanksgiving? The Constitution you can’t eat came after the Declaration of Independence which says all men are born equal so have a right to live, •o why thank anybody for it? Really on the other hand, steps should bo taken. Why a woman sent a note to the local trustee demanding that ho send back with the child she had sent, 816 at once, and the List of other articles which she demanded. And the trustee sent that child back without giving the real money demanded. Think of it! That trustee worrying about spending taxpayers* money. Many children have been taught in the past four years, to carry notes or to ask verbally of the trustee, for aid. They are being taught the world owes them a living, to become beggars. It does seem too sad that people have to ask for things instead of just being able to take what they want. Os course there are some people whoA are too proud to ask for township aid, and some others who are taking it because their needs have been reported and it’s been forced on them. Can’t anyone make them see the light and know the World Owes Thom a Living and stop asking for work just for the’ sake of some old-fashioned thing they call self-respect. And then this township ruling that if you are working on a government project you can’t demand poor relief groceries. Something will have to be done about that. What if this township has already borrowed 86,000 to feed'Ua poor? The United States Government owes more than that doesn’t it? Well, that’s something to work towards, for these people who still like work. It’s getting to boa common joke to tell a friend on a street corner: "Well, I have to go down and see the tightwad now," meaning the trustee, “and listen to that story about the poor taxpayers before I can get any help." Who are tho poor taxpayers whose money the trustee is trying to save? Anyone who has paid in any tax money ought to havo it spent, should bo tho idea.

Many .are the people who feel sure the trustee doesn’t like coffee with his own meals. He’s always pulling that stuff that only the necessities will ba given on a grocery list and coffee is not a necessity. He claims that children do not obtain nourishIment from coffee and would from bread or milk, and he refuses to let the children watch their parents enjoy somo good hot coffee even if they aren't full themselves. A fine way to run affair*. Not so very long ago tho trustee's wife got told though. A woman presented a list of groceries she demanded that the trustee o. k. She had coffee on her list all right and when It was told her that coffee was never given oet she up and said; “Well, this I* once when you are going to give it. Coffee and everything else I want, and plenty of it." It happened that the trustee’s wife wasn’t alone at the time, and one of the men of the family came into the room and told the woman: “She’ll take nothing more from you." The woman came right back with “Oh Yeahr And then he told her. Oh, Yeah, to get out, that the list she left wo ®ld bo looked over and if approved the grocer would bo telephoned what to give her. That wasn’t Thanksgiving Day, so why should she, or even Pilgrim* expect anyone to get grateful for what she got or say please when going to got it? Thanksgiving Day only come* once a year. One thing since the New Deal, people working for the government hero don’t do R like in Russia. Many of them go to relief work, driving their own automobiles. Jwt thh week a man drove to tho trustee’s home and got out of hi* ear and wont into the house to get his share of tho federal supply of nmt whieh had been sent for distribution. Why in Russia he might havo had to walk that whole eRy block from hi* home to obtain that food. When th* work on th* mill race first commenced there were a lot mor* men who actually want to work for a living, who thought they had a chance now, that there’d be more jobs, but no, a let of men were traneferrod from the airport. Warsaw told th* unemployed who want work that they had to be on the township SO day* before they could obtain R. But the trustee here came right out end told ’em Warsaw just said that for an excuse that the real """J 11 . w "‘ job® wm available. With tho park and school projects approved, th* only reaton no more men ar* p«t to work now, to work A. . \ r

vn these two projects must be that they just want to transfer the men from the mill race to this other work instead of spreading the work around so others could be employed. And that’s fine with the fellows who don’t want to work. There are still some young men who only want a chance to work. And they crab about being given jobs first, last and always according to the number of children in their families. You’d think they’d soon learn how to get government relief. Then this investigating where a government project employe spends his money! Just as though a man hasn’t a right to get drunk if he wants to. It’s a free country isn’t it? And what’s all this criticism about those on relief projects driving their cars somewhere else to spend the money they are paid- What if taxpayers here do pay it? They are the suckers aren’t they? And some of these fellows on government projects are actually interested in the work, actually working 60 minutes of every hour. They are probably among the old-fashioned who feel thankful to get a job. And having Thanksgiving Day again, this year. Just because some old foggies went in for that years and years ago. They’d worked and saved enough to live on, and went around being thankful, when the bright ones know now, if you don’t take care of yourself the country will. Us course it didn’t back in their day—but look how far we’ve advanced. ■“ G—CONCORD Mr. and Mrs. Bertram Whitehead and daughter Martha Lee, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Strieby of Chicago were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Dewart Sunday.
