Omaha, Neb.—The Omaha WorldHerald, for 50 ydiars one of the [ leading Democratic newspapers of the Middle West iind once edited ; by William Jennings Bryan, has | definitely stamped itself as opposed 1 to President Roosevelt and the New Deal policies his administration stands for. I ••Mr. Roosevelt, as earnestly and passionately as Hitler once did, assails our own capitalist system,” , says the World-Herald editorial. “By his sweeping onslaught Mr. ‘' Roosevelt has precipitated uncom- q promising war between the govern- h ment he heads arid private enter- p prise ... 1 , d “And just as long as that war rages, the of credit and . money tied up in the banks, idle and unused, will [remain idle and ’ unused. The millions of idle work- c ers will remain unused, unless it be on public labor ... v , “This newspaper believes the c American system, both economic and political, is not so desperately ! sick, so hopeless beyond cure, that » it is necessary to kill and replace A it with an order alien to our traditions, repugnant to all our aspira- M tions.” y Landon Urge* Wisconsin v to Save Its Ideal Homes ° Milwaukee, Wis. — “Wisconsin, with its thousands of beautiful w homes and high percentage of k home owners, isj an example of ti much that is best, in American life w today,” Gov. Alf M. Landon, Presi- M dential nominee, wired the Repub- v lican State convention here. “Your ; decentralized industry, including i thousands of small manufacturing , * plants living and prospering side • by side with larger corporations, i V represent an ideal and a balance IF for which we must strive and to & which the Republican party is com- ; * muted by its platform." | ~ Landon’s telegram continued: ! g “These small homes and busi- j nesses have been built by a frugal ’ people schooled in’ the old sash- w ioned virtue of thrift. I have nev- n er before known a campaign which T has evidenced so greatly the quiet determination of men and women s< to save for themselves. and their . children the things that we Amer- s ‘ icans hold most ear. The American people have an appreciation * of the value of good government C and are prepared to fight for it." e John D. M. Hamilton, national chairman, speaking at the convention, referred to American citizens as “stockholders" in the federal government, accusing the admin- ’ istration of misleading its stock- t holder/: "Your stockholders would 1 like to learn, Mr. Morgenthau, why t in recalling that the Treasury esti- i mated in 1934 a $4,000,000,000 defi- r cit for the fiscal year just ended, t you omitted the fact that in the t same year 1934, your Chief Execu- s tive promised that the deficit for ! this period would be zero, and be- i fore a United States senate com- < mittee as recently as last April t you predicted it would be nearly t $6,000,000,000 . . L , “Voters see in jGov. Landon a t man who not only pledged his administration to a balanced budget, • but a man who delivered a balanced budget,” Hamilton continued. Presidents’ Spending Compared Milwaukee, WLs —Appropriations of President Roosevelt’s administration which were unspecified by congress totalled 13 billion 500 million dollars, or more than eight times the combined unspecified appropriations made to all the Presidents in the 143 preceding years, John D. M. Hamilton, Republican National chairman, told the state Republican convention here. TRY A JOURNAL WANT AD

Landon and Son Gov. Alf M. Landon frolics with his son, John Cobb, 3. “Pay-as-you-go,” says the Republican nominee, “then your children won’t bear the burden of your mistakes.” Drum “Telegraph” Still in U»e A primitive form of telegraph—signaling from place to place by means of drums —is in wide use by natives of the many Islands of the south Pacific. A very complex system of signals, amounting to what may be called a ‘drum language," Is employed, so that a wide variety of messages may be sent. The drums used, which can be heard for several miles, are made from large sections of hollowed-out tree Several specimens of these drums, elaborately carved with figures of significance In the native religions, are on exhibition in the Field museum. Chicago. There are usually handles at each end, sometimes in the shape of human figures. The hollowing out and carving are done with crude tools of stone, shell and. metal and are laborl ous tasks. Find Old Bottle A, bottle, empty since 33(M) B. C., Is said to have revealed to a chemist the kind of yeast used by one of the Pharaoh’s brewers.
