We do wish Alf Landon had been a bit more specific in his acceptance speech. It was a good talw. It “‘listened well.’’ But somehow or another it was too remindful of the _ kind of talks President Roosevelt ig when he was a candidate for ‘the job of being head man to 125million people. If memory’serves, the “y¥ thing Franklin Delano Roose‘Vem zave the good public in the way of “brass tacks’? was a scheme for reforestation, He also talked warmingly about the ‘forgotten man,’’ Meaning as it turned out, the unemPloyed man. Landon said in effect that relief must go on. But he did not say in what way he would administer it. A ‘very large proportion of people would like to know just how he proposes: to administer relief. Nobody Teally quarrels with the idea of keeping the peoule from going hungry. But there are different ways of preventing it. We would like to know what. Landon has in mind. The present system, wasteful, and to a large extent haphazard, hampers’ recov-, ery. The government jobs are just good enough to keep a large number of men from going after anything better in private employment. When the State of New Jersey was asked to match a certain number of dollars with Federal money for relief a few months ago, the legislatrefused and turned the whole matter of relief over to the counties. The money expended by the counties is a good deal less than was formerly expended under Federal supervision. ure The WPA administration has been making a survey of the job New Jercounties and municipalities is doitig in relief, and quite naturally the surveyors find a lot of fault with it. Some of the criticism: is no doubt merited. Families do not. get anything like the relief money they formerly received. They must be dents of wherever they apply for relief, anywhere from two to _ five years. Nobody is starving but it seems quite certain that a good many re living on a less than sihsistence diet, But in the a Jot. of those who formerly at leaf sjag and other boondoggling jobs, Wyre gotten jobs for themselves. The list of unemployed in New Jersey has taken a big drop. Part of this is due to seasonal activitsey resimeantime labored of course, ies that absorb a great deal of unskilled and semi-skilled labor. Bu of part of it is due to New Jersey’s system of compelling boondogglers to’ get out and scratch, However, it is too early to come to any conclusion regardin® New Jersey’s drastic short cut to speedy recovery. November may present a truer picture, sa ware Slot { Probably Landon does not realize , vet that, to be lected, he has got a . be snecific about the things he proses to do, if elected. It is no walkover that confronts the Republican standard bearer. Every vote in this battle of the ballots is worth something. Roosevelt could afford to be vague indefinite during his campaign four years ago. Hoover was beaten before he started. Jehn Smith of Higgin’s Corner could have beaten. him. Roosevelt sensed that and accordingly confined his promisto remembering the forgotten man and to planting more trees. As a matter of fact he has not kept these promises very well. His reforestation plans have not worked out very well, and as for the forgotten man, it all depends on which one you mean. and The small tax payer, the small stock holder, or bond holder, the little man who has clung to his job through thick and thin, depression or no depression, is now the forgotten man. The Roosevelt administration has loaded the unemployed on the backs of the taxpayer. And now, while that may have been the only method of dealing with unemployment in the depths of the depression, your small taxpayer, the newly forgotten man, is demanding that he shall have something to say about how the money is spent. and for Boom. For ‘three long years” this right has been denied him. If Roosevelt is defeated it will be because in “the forgotten man’, he forgot the man who pays the Dill.

DRUNKEN DRIVER TO PAY $50 FINE Judge Miles Municipol Coughlin on Saturday rendered the following verdict: ; The defendant in this case pleaded guilty to reckless driving. The evidence shows he was somewhat intoxicated at tHe time of' the driving. He drove his automobile up Commercial street on the wrong side of the street, bumped into a parked car, veered in onto the sidewalk, dislocated a: few bricks from the wall of a building, and ended up-against a service pole of the Telephone Company. The defendant is mprried, ‘has children, works on WPA or PWA and is building a home. It is true that dependants often suffer more than the principals in #hese sort of cases but to let defendatts, escape punishment because they have families would be, in effect, to give somewhat of a license to husbands and fathers to commit these crimes if they are to be excused thereby. Men should think of their families before as well as after their bacchantie escapedes. The court observes that it is most important to protect and insure the safety of all men, women and children on the public streets and highways. Instead of humping into the parked automobile and knocking a few bricks from a wall, this defendant might have struck down some innocent child or pedestrian while No leniency is. goshown to reckless or intexicated drivers in this court. However, by the’ judgment in this case, an opportunity will be given the defendam® to support and “protect his family ing to be and at the same time he will be impressed with the fact that his offense was serious, Judgment. will tered as follows: WHEREFORE, it is by the Court ordered and adjudged that the said defendant. E. H. Burgan, is guilty ofthe erime of reckless driving, a violation of Section 505a of the California Vehicle Code, and that for said offense. said defendant be imprisoned for the term of thirty days and pay a fine in the sum of fifty ($50.00) dollars.

The house and barn on the MeNeil ranch unoccupied, were burned to the ground. Several hay fields were destroyed and much pasturage. The fire up till Saturday morning burned over 3,000 acres, and since that time, with new outbursts, it has run up another tally of 1500 acres, making the total approximately 4500. The Wolf Creek fire is done. Before it was halted it had covered 850 acres. Sharp’had 85 men on that fire and brought in 40 more before the blaze was stopped.
