A Ee —— — — _ — - - DEMOCRATIC TICKET For United States Senator JOSEPH P. GUFFEY For State Treasurer G. HAROLD WAGNER For Auditor General F. CLAIR ROSS For Representative in Congress WILLIAM M. AUKERMAN For Representative in General Assembly JOHN W. DECKER EDITORIAL The Prench idea of peace, “with honor,” is peace == South America is safe as long as American warships can guard her enast-lUne and ports The complete effect of war upon our internal economy, including ag- riculture, is not yet realized by any of us Declarations in favor of peace, made in the United States, will have nothing to do with the decision of Herr Hitler and he will decide wheth- er we enjoy peace or not Shed a tear for Herbert Hoover who went into the Republican con- vention expecting a "Draft Hoover” stampede. The best he could get was “Hoover for Former President.” Universal military training, such as has been suggested, does not necessarily imply any surrender of democratic rights and it might do much for the physical health of the young men of the nation The recently constructed Republican platform would have our na- tion adopt a policy of “appeasement” in dealing with Hitler and the other European war lords. We know of one Prime Minister Chamber- lain, with oodles of experience as a pacificator, whose suggestions might be of some benefit to the party Strange as it may seem, the Republicans’ choice for president help- ed to defeat thelr party and turn it out of power in 1932. Wendell L Willkie, the Republican presidential nominee, supported Franklin D Roosevelt and the Democratic ticket in 1932 but opposed him in 1938 Not until two years ago did he register as a Republican Folks called to jury service have been criticised or reprimanded in a number of Pennsylvania courts, but few have felt the lash to the ex- tent that Judge Cyrus M. Palmer wielded it in Schuylkill county court last week when he ordered nine women and three men, members of a “hung” jury. arrested for obstructing justice, their pay for service with. held and their names stricken from all future jury lists. Back of this action was the disagreement of the jury in a robbery case which had been tried ‘wice previously, the first trial having resulted in a verdict of gulity, followed by a successful appeal and a second trial in which the jury was unable to agree. The ire of the court presumably wag aroused by the action of the jurors in returning a sealed verdict noting dis agreement rather than continuing deliberations until excused. It may have been that the success of the appeal had a marked influence upon the minds of the jury, for in the jury room as elsewhere, it is human nature to at times follow an example rather than resort to logical reasoning. Nevertheless it is a great pity that men and women In jury service fail to comprehend the injustices that result from their light regard for a solemn duty. Amazed at the triumph of Germany over France and alarmed lest Great Britain be stormed and bombed into submission the people of the United States have awakened from a dream of peace and are ready to admit the possibility that an armed foe may actually invade our country. The armed might of the United States is sufficient to repulse the unaided offense of either Germany, Italy or Japan. Any one of these nations would have little, or no, chance of successively invading the United States, or taking possession of a Latin-American country. The disturbing element, as we see it, is the realization that, the dictator gov- ernments will gang up against us. Without the protection of the British navy in European waters, the Atlantic and Pacific oceans are no bare riers to such a combined attack upon the New World. No desire for war exists in the United States in regards to either of the three aggressor powers. But, whenever Germany, Ttaly and Japan are convinced that the United States is ripe for “taking.” the war will begin. There will be no need of a “cause of war” The only cause that these nations require is the might to overwhelm a neighbor nation and the expectation of vice tory and plunder THEY MISSED THE BANDWAGON (From Pittsburgh Press) The two —Joes—Joe Pew and Joe Grundy--let the bandwagon go by. and then, after it was far past them, fell flat on their faces trying to grab the tallboard. Wendell Willkie ls fortunate that he can go into the election with out obligations to the two Pennsylvania bosses whose support is political poison ivy in this state. They fought him even after he was nominated. Then came the final ballot. Missouri cast 28 votes for Willkie, New Jersey swung its entire vote to him. New York gave him 78 of its 92 votes, Then North Carolina, Oklahoma and Oregon swung heavily to him-—and the bandwagon was underway down the road. It was now Pennsylvania’ turn to vote—and the galleries booed when Bosses Pew and Grundy held their oppo ion delegates in line and unced that Pennsylvania was passing. Eight more states had voted Pennsylvania made up its mind-—and the crowd jeered when the ten bosses finally cast the state's 72 votes—in a belated and gesture —for the nominee whom they had fought, us, with their customary disregard of popular opinlon and their accustomed dumbness, did the so-called leaders of the Pennsylvania Re. Pulbiiean Party show their unfitness for further prominence In its af- ~~ Poor Alf Landon came to Pennsylvania four years ago and opened his cam at West Middlesex under the stigma of Grundy-Pew spon. sorship. ¥ enters the campaign with no such handicap.

There is much loose and irresponsible talk of how { the Mayor is going to be brought to {terms In his end of running the | municipal government. Then when Hizzoner appears, things cool off with remarkable rapidity. The May. or, for all the things Council some- | times says he doesn't do, seems to have an unerring faculty of know- ing what goes on and how to come away. not in the doghouse, but on top of the heap. On several such occasions when Council has timidly | suggested that the Mayor might { change this or that, Mr. Harris rises fup in indignation on his own part and tells Council what it has done or Is doing wrong. Whereupon Coun- cilmen usually sit meekly in their {chairs and Hizzoner sweeps na jes- tically from the room, leaving the | feeling at the press table that per- | haps Council shouldnt have men- | tioned the thing at all NO IDEAS: This corner seems to have few | ideas.
