Without that charge, the State, financially, would either be in taxes, but with relief charges high and mounting, we can get the Governor's viewpoint The latter phrase, however, does not ith Republican to election day | A stat! man of 3 wned to be called upon, with ointment is clover or could materially reduces at wit 8 end too true Ww party's campaign pledges previou the there much more chance f hs cu bat State The Governor has cut not much.

In this connection, if the Governor should cut the personnel as above, he would save the State about $7,500,- 000 annually. That sounds like a lot of money. It is a lot of money, vet in budget making for the State it would be only about two per cent of the total; hardly that if relief Costs keep up members, In any event the Governor “wit's end,” as anvone in his place would be, to Keep down taxes and at the same time has eternally ringing his ears from here, there, everywhere, the one word gimme, gimme, gimme, About it all and after all, we have to wonder, as we long have, why any man with ability, integrity and sense, wants to hold publie office, As a hobby, playing behind the geenes ; as a scenery shifter, it has its compensations, But as the front man, or men, “the brother, how about a dime” fellow, would seem to be in for more happiness or at least, leas grief, than the big fellow out front in public life, for whom the bands play and evervone, almost, who contacts him can do no better than say ... “Yes, ves” trying in NO CAUSE FOR ALARM The President's opinion, it seems igs that he should aid Great Britain and France to put themselves: into a strong defensive position against Germany and Italy and that he believes that if the two great European democ- racies are overcome, the line of American defense will be pushed into the Atlantic. We believe the great mass of people in this country will agree with the latter conclu- sion of the President. His first conclusion as to helping the democracies rearm is the subject of violent attack on the part of the pacifist group, which would do almost any- thing to keep the United States from assuming any risk whatever in connection with international affairs. At the present time, it should be clearly understood, the laws of this country permit the sale of munitions and armaments to nations not engaged in warfare, Under our existing statutes, it is entirely legal for Great Britain and France, or for that matter, Germany and Italy, to buy munitions and armaments in this country. That it so hap pens that the two democracies are doing the buying, in an effort to improve their relative strength with the totali- tarian states, does not alter the law. In fact, Great Brit- ain, last week, announced the purchase of additional planes and some other equipment from American concerns, WHY NOT INCLUDE SMALLER FAIRS? We see where Congress has been asked to appropriate an additional $1,246,000 to supplement $3,000,000 already provided for Federal participation in the New York World's Fair. A similar appropriation was made for the exposition in San Francisco and it has been the custom of Congress to provide Federal funds for a Federal exhibit in practi eally all of the larger fairs of the nation, In addition, Federal exhibits have been provided for many of the State fairs. Apparently, nobody in Congress ever has an idea that it would be proper for the Federal Government to provide a similar sum for the smaller eounty fairs throughout the United States. Certainly, if it is proper for participating in one great fair, it ought to be equally sensible for the Government to spend the same Standing out among his years as head of his church, of course, will be the composition of differences with aly over the relation of the Vatican to that government. It was an agreement that ended the isolation of the occu pant of the Vatican and gave the Catholic church an en tirelv different territorial Italy. But even this may seem us of 01 no greater importance governmental position in to persons outside the church to the church or the world than the Pope's great passion so notably shown in recent years for peace and justice among all mankind.
