He is coming to answer Lindbergh. He is coming to balance the scales of public opinion. He is coming to give the people that tone and temper that will inspire them to aid Britain and her allies to the full measure of American resources and American man power. There is probably no ‘private citizen in the whole length and breadth of the country who is better qualified to counter“balance the persuasions of Lindbergh on American public opinion. His very physical presence suggests a vitality and: boldness that is needed in times of critical danger. His proven capacity for organization is regarded{ as a salutary offset to the Lindbergh genius for destructive criticism. Long after Lindbergh's recent talk at the Civic Auditorjum is forgotten. there will remain the impression of his committee’s ability for organizing an effective mass meeting. Take the Lindberch talk itself. It had all of the advantage of a high powered. public relations writer. alive to mass psychology and deft at phrasing. Lindbergh's inflections and pauses were we rehearsed to give the signal to a well trained rooting section for laughter, applause or hisses. It was a rooting section that was not concentrated but distributed, to. give the appearance of spontaneous and general reaction. What makes Weendell Willkie the man of the hour is not only that he can talk but that he can organize.—Contributed. REPRIEVE NO. 2 Governor Olson's decision to give another 30-day prieve to Juanita (The Duchess) Spinelli and her two partners in crime looks very mvch !ike “a second step toward letting them escape execution,”’ as it has been pointed out by Sacramento's chief deputy district attorney. J. Francis O'Shea. The first reprieve was granted a month ago when Superior Judge Raymond T. Coughlin intervened dramatically on the eve of The Duchess’ scheduled execution. The grounds for delaying the execution apparently were so flimsy that the governor's own secretary remarked later that the governor “*had been imposed upon.” This time, however. the governor took it upon himself to cal! off the execution at the last minute, on the grounds that the bill signing had not given him time to study the case. No extenuating circumstance have developed in this case yet to make The Duchess look like anything but a cold-blooded kill-r. and the granting of a commutation would seem to be a direct contradiction to the governor's own flat statement that “‘in a case involving moral turpitude and where there are not extenuating circumstances there should not be any recourse to leniency because of sex.” On the other hand, if the governor had no intention of building a series of reprieves into’a commutation, then he is taking an exceedingly inhumane way of killing The Duchess by giving her new hope each month, only to have it dwindle as the hour of doom approaches. : It will be interesting to see what new line of reasoning the governor follows next month when he has to decide again whether to give a further reprieve, whether to commute The Duchess’ sentence, or whether to permit the execution to go through on schedule—and also to see how he reconciles his decision on the Spinelli case with the decision he makes on the fate of her two partners. While we've got capital punishment as a force it; if we don’t want capital punishment, let’s get rid of it—Sacramento Union. law, let’s enTHE GIRL OF THE GOLDEN WEST Have you heard about her? Well, girls you are eligible to try, for this is to be a prize contest and you do not have to be beautiful or talented in song or dance to win. You must be a typical old-fashioned girl of the western states, California included, for other states are eligible. The girl of the Olden West—with all the charm and appeal of the girls who came on the covered wagons, or the belles of the sixties or even the], gay nineties—typically western that what the state fair committee judges will decide. Nevada City girls (unmarried girls we understand are specified) get your old-fashioned gowns ready and perhaps you can win for your home town the grand prize or one of the several $50 prizes. ® HELP OR HINDRANCE? Bidding farewell the other day to one of his army divisions leaving to join the German army on the Russian frontier, Il Duce waved his hand and imperiously cried. ““Go—and _repeat your former triumphs!” Those words, if they reached the ‘German G. H. Q., must have brought a shudder of uneasiness » staff commanders as they recalled the triumphs of Mussolini’s militia in Spain, Greece, and Ethiopia. _If victories of that stamp are repeated, Russia alone will reap the reward.

Harrv Bridrec who needs no introduction in this countrv end who seems to be a man pretty much without a country thinks that Soviet Russia is a pretty good country and says he hopes the masses. meaning the common people, can_ be freed to take up arms to aid the Soviet union, the greatest -nti-Fascist force in Europe. He declares that the CIO unions have been fighting Fascist forces in.America and that the goal of the working people is to destrov their influence. It might he a onod idea for Australia-born Harry to raise an army of is malcontents and we are sure transportation would be furvished free ‘to take them to Russia as soldiers of Stalin. Perhaps once there Mr. Bridges would realize that his activities would be very much curtailed and he would not be permitted to do his soap box oratory stuff as in the United States. If his goal is mere agitation he could not be in a better spot than rizht here. but if he wants to win a victory over Fascists the nlace to find them and get them is in the Stalin line. He has no use for the ruling classes of Britain, he says. don't like dictators, but we have for a long time suspected that he saw red, likes reds and revels in revolution or strikes that savor of revolution. If so, Russia is the place for him. feed That he has little hove that his deportation trial will con-. tinue his presence in the U. S. A. is seen by the slam on that. trial “‘It stinks.” The whole thing was a frame-up,” said Bridges recently at the convention of the National Maritime Union in Cleveland, Ohio. If we recall his first trial he criticized everything here and found fault with all our institutions. Comrade Joe Stalin probably needs some more huskies ere this. Bridges and his admirers should answer the call. What a stink they would be allowed to kick up there and what trials they would have if they were suspected of the least offense!.
