By having two political parties, we can always tell
how prosperous and how poor we are at the same
time. This is campaign year, and if we believe what
the Republicans tell us we are in a hellofafix, but if
we listen to the Democrats we are living in a land of
abundance.

The Wisconsin eruption has reshuffled America’s
political map like a jumbled jigsaw puzzle. The pub-
lic,-sorting out the pieces, has only a few guides to the
new outline. One is that Governor Dewey looms as'
the key piece in the Republican presidential picture.
A second is that plans for getting the Republican party
to turn sharply away from the isolationist record of
the congressional minority and take a clear-cut leader-
ship in organizing peace must be reshaped. A third is
that a large piece of sharp outline—Wendell Willkie—
does not fit comfortably into any hole now visible.
The new Dewey position is in one sense the most
striking feature in this puzzle. But it may be affected
by the other two. It looks as if the Governor might
have the nomination if he wants it. It now appears
unlikely that those who question his views and expe-
rience in the international field will be able to dent
the wide popular acceptance of him. But if Mr. Will-
kie should oppose him and take with him a large num-
ber of voters who demand first of all a clear and
strong American leadership in organziing peace, the
nomination might not be attractive enough to wean Mr.
Dewey from his governorship.
We believe that those who are passing around the
rumor that Mr. Willkie will take a vice-presidential
nomination from the Democrats do not really under-
stand either Mr. Willkie or the Democrats. He has
asked for new leadership and has said things about
the present administration which could not easily be
taken back. But he has tried so hard to change cer-
tain features of the Republican party that old-line Re-
publicans:—as in Wisconsin—would have none of him.
He is not the kind of figure who meekly shuts up
and disappears. He represents elements which may

The state deficit has been reduced from over thirty
million dollars to $7,299,139, the lowest since October,
1934. Nearly eighteen million dollars have been cut
from the deficit in the past year. At this rate the state
will soon be out of debt, and this accomplished with-
out a bond issue. When Governor Stevenson became
governor the state was in the red more than $25,000,-
000. A few years ago many were advocating a bond
issue to pay the deficit, and if bonds had been issued
for that purpose the state would now owe for the
bonds and the money paid on the deficit spent for oth-
er purposes. Texas is one of the few states in the
Union that does not have a bonded debt to pay. The
State of Texas does not have any outstanding bonds,
and is in the red only $7,299,139. Some counties in
Texas owe more than the State of Texas. Texas has
had some governors who did not know how to cut the
state deficit and it continued to grow during their
terms of office, but that is not the case with Gov. Coke
Stevenson. He was among those who opposed a bond
issue to pay the deficit.

could be said truthfully of any other

Letters are unquestionably the biggest morale build-

aren’t, just read any war correspondent on the subject.
That is one thing on which the journalists are in com-
plete agreement.

One day a visitor to the White
House, remembering President Lin-

sought to discount the value of books.
“I feel the need of reading,” re-

man not to have grown up among
books.”
“Men of force,” the visitor an-
swered, “can very well get along
without books. They do their own
thinking instead of adopting what
other men think. Consider your own
experience.”

President, “but I still value the use of

Returning soldiers tell us they were
on islands where the natives use
shells for money and poor father
wishes he could locate on such an is-
land. Of course right now father
probably would need two kinds of
shells, one for money and another for
coupons, but gathering shells would
be far more pleasant than working
hard, and paying taxes wouldn’t be so
distressing. With a simple income
tax form he could list the number
of shells gathered, make his deduc-
tions foi' mother and the children and
turn over a few cart loads of shells
to the collector. Probably some of
our ancestors used shells for money
and some of their expressions still
live in our language. People are al-
ways wanting poor father to “shell
out” more money than he has.

calamities that later came upon it.
They quit all European classes and

Reep Our Culture
Having spent eleven years in other
lands, I am glad I am an American
and I could never advocate ignoring
the rest of the world. But no isola-
tionist could be farther than I from
transplanting foreign problems in
America. As we are situated now,
we can assist people everywhere and
it is our duty. But the surest way to
make America useless at home and
abroad is to pollute our free air with
philosophies that the founders of this
free country so specifically excluded.
Nothing could be more deadly, to
the American way of life, no plague
more completely blighting to democ-
racy as we understand it in the
United States than a dominantly
strong centralized government. It is
completely foreign to American
ideals. Permitted to run its course
unrestrained it will choke out our
freedom, our prosperity, and finally
our ambition.
THE TRUTH HURTS
No one can deny the shameful fact
that after two years of war the civil-
ian population of this nation has done
little to deserve victory. It is sheer
hypocrisy to point to our arms pro-
duction as evidence of a will to win.
Every gun and plane that has rolled
off the assembly lines was built on a
strictly commercial basis. Not a rivet
has been driven for love of country
alone—the labor leaders and vote
seekers have seen to that. Rarely
has a politician made an utterance
uncolored by a desire for personal
advancement. Even our bond cam-
paigns have not impinged upon the
scramble for easier living. It has
been boldly stated that the war must
not interfere with social gains. War
revenue has been sought without
pinching the voter, even to the extent
of undermining long range industrial
stability and postwar jobs. The ac-
cent at home has been on security
and comfort, while millions of Amer-
ican boys have for two years been
fighting the ugliest war in history.—

books. They serve to show a man
that those thoughts of his that he be-

Our Own Standards
In America we are short on herald-
ry but we are long on bathtubs. Free
to live our lives in any honorable
manner, and quick to learn from each
other, the families of America are
growing more alike in habits and in
aims. Meanwhile living standards
rise and American culture advances
far beyond that of old-world races.
They are cramped by meaningless re-
straints and crippled by unprofitable
disputes about matters that seem
quite obscure anywhere else.
“For several specific reasons,” Mr.
Lincoln says, “it does not seem prob-
able that the United States will fi-
nally succumb to subversive influ-
ences which have been exerting
themselves from abroad.” Seeking
religious liberty, economic rights and
political freedom, the pioneers of
America fled Europe because even

Pride of race is something America
has never developed to a high degree
because it is peopled with so many
different races. Just the same,
Americans have every right to pride
in fine heritage. Edmond E. Lincoln
recently put it in a few words. He
said, “America has been developed by
the most courageous, industrious and
honorable peoples of the earth. We
have built up from the best people of
ioreign countries.”
Some people have come to the
United States who did us no good.
Mr. Lincoln does not dispute that. He
makes it plain, however, that all of
America’s early settlers and most of
the immigrants who came later, so
different outwardly, were a lot alike
inside; and in important ways. They
were brave, honest, hard-working,
