We are playing that same international game which in 1017, under a Democratic President who had been elected on a platform of peace, brought us into the first World War Once again we are burming our fingers al the fires of Europe The Republican party is the last safeguard between the men and vomen of America and European chaos This, in our opinion, is unfair and dangerous suff If there were evidence that President Roose. velt Is taking America to war, through “meddling of muddling” or with delibera'e intent because he can think of no other “solution” for domestic prob- lems, we should condemn his course In stronger, plainer words than Governor James has used. But know of no such evidence There is much evidence which show that the President's conduct of foreign affair has been marked by a high degree of suavily, san- ity and intelligence The Republican party sues, plenty of them, on Deal.

Ewrope is their business, very largely, and {{ we leave them to face the martial music we must be willing for them to pipe the strain of peace Should the worse come fo the worse and the people of the United States decide to give fcsist. ance to the Allled cause, in order to avert their de. feat. the &id that flows across the ocean need not include the young men of this country.

Three-quarters of the mobilized soldiers would be put to work in flelds and factories, under military discipline, to increase the cconomic staying power of the nation, The front would be laken care of by small forces of highly- armed specialists, maneuvering machines, tanks and airplanes of fantastic quality and power We can't believe thal there are any incompet- ent teachers employed in the public schools of Cen- tre county, but if any school board has reason to think such a condition exists they have the right to fire such person, in spite of the teachers’ tenure law. This statement is made after reading the de- cision of President Judge William Keller of the State Superior Court, who declared recently from the bench that the Pennsylvania teachers’ tenure low was not intended to “hamstring” school boards and that “if a teacher Is incompetent, he ought to be discharged.” Some of our farmer friends may get a laugh out of this from the Washington Merry-Go-Round: Midwestern senators are telling about an incident which occurred after Dewey spoke in Minneapolis on his Western tour. Shortly thereafter, Vanden- berg spoke in twin-city St Paul, and was visited by a group of farm leaders, who asked various questions, One was, “What do you think of the problem of the flax surplus?” Vandenberg replied, “Flax surplus? What do you mean? We produce less than half of our requirement in flax, so how can there be a surplus problem?” “You're right, Senator,” farmers answered, “We just wanted to see how of scquiring “easy money,” we can't refrain from referring fo this one successfully pulled off in Philadelphia recently: A man walked to the tellers i Mi : F it E } 4 i i ¥ (From Philadelphia Bulletin) At a relief conference at which Pennsylvania, New York and five New England States were represent. ed there was unanimous agreement that relief ought to be financed on a pay-as-you-go bass, since it was fundamentally unsound to borrow for such a continuing obligation. This is a sound view, Provision for relief came on the States at first as a sudden demand, unpre cedended in its magnitude, to meet an emergency situation, There was justification at the start for borrowing, but its use is indefensible as a means of meeting an annually recurring obligation. There may be more challenge to another rec- ommendation in which a majority of the conferees concurred, that Pederally-financed work relief should be administered by the States. The system would parallel administration of the old age pen- rion plan. It is contended that this system would save money and keep the service closer to the persons served. Such change, it has been argued, would get State and local politics mixed up with relief. The counter charge is that, in the past at least, Federal polities has entered into relief, The Government relles on its power to grant or withhold funds to prevent political abuse in the States of the old age pension system. The sugges- tion of the conference deserves to be weighed In disinterested fashion, final decision to ®= made ac- cording to the best judgment obtainable as to the effect of the change on the cost and efficient, non- political service, PENNSYLVANIA AT FAIR {(Froms Scranton Times) It is gratifying to know that the Pennsylvania state building at the New York World's Falr will re open this year. Private donations from big Indus- trialists and others who pledged $75.000 make this possible, It is explained that the original sppropria- tion made by the state is nearly exhausted. Faced with disinelination by Governor James to recom- mend an additional appropriation the commission in charge of the exhibit solicited funds. Some 400 con- eccrns made contributions ranging from $50 up. That a state with the resourses of Pennsyl- vania should be required to go to the people for such a comparatively small sum to continue the exhibit, of course, is far from creditable %. would even be more humiliating, however, if the doors of the state building, re replica of Independence Hall, were closed during the 1940 falr season, yivania's exhibit at the fair compared favorably with those of other states. The building larged and the state commission is hopeful that building and exhibits generally ‘ tractive and the Heel con ar os Who visit (he. ; other day when one of those chattering women came in and started ask- {ing a lot of questions “By the way.” she finally asked the bored denilst. “Have You been a | dentist very long?” The doc favored Ler with a glance i “No, Madam.” he sald lcily, “1 was a riveter te work up high” Double Trouble | ing. | thingthing, and asked the cause for his wearied hears a noise, In case it's burglars.” until 1 god too nervous A certain acquaintance had been gelling around late In the mom. wearing a decided tired look.
