Our doughboys in England are engaged in a novel. bit of uplift on their own. “They “adopt” children and contribute partly to their support in their own homes. That is one way their $50 per month goes. In England it goes considerably further than in this country. Most of the boys according to the Red Cross News, prefer little blondes of the Shirley Temple type, as she was a half dozen years ago. The doughboys contribute money for things the children lack in their homes, and a Red Cross worker carefully chooses the youngsters for “adoption.”’ Governor Bricker of Ohio, t6 all practical purposes, has tossed his hat into the Republican ring for 1944 presidential candidates. Both he and Wendel Willkie, 1940 standard bearer, will probably have tickets in California pledged to their candidactes,in the 1944 presidential primaries. Lieutenants of both men are already seeking for good vote getting delegates, so it.is reported. One reason tliat eastern whiskey interests have bought up at least 50 per cent of ‘California’s wine making interests, according to Clem Whitaker, are federal retsrictions on the production of the “crature.’’ Moving into the California wineries, he predicts, they will turn their attention to .making brandy, which is cheaper to make, with less wartime limitations. Look out for’ advertising, Whitaker advises, that reads: ‘It is patriotic to drink brandy.”’ William Jennings Bryan, Jr. who lives in Los Angeles is reported to be meditating a run: for the UniIt is so long ago that William Jennings Pryan, pater, made his three tries for the United States presidency, and finally performed a signal service to party and country by ~— ushering Woodrow Wilson into the White House, that we do not remember his tally in California. But outside of Los Angeles where the Middle West has settled, we doubt if William Jennings Bryan Junior could pull much of a vote. The name, of course, was one to conjure with politically, but it has been so long in disuse and so much water has flowed under the bridge, we doubt if it would carry’ .much weight save in Nebraska. a Our jittery congressmen are shedding drops of cold perspiration over the country’s food situation. First they turn all powers over to the president, and his friends, such as McNutt the man power czar, and then when the president makes a bad choice and the people back home begin to feel. the bonds that Jhogtie them, our congressmen try to-blame the mess on the bureauerats. Let us not forget that we owe stumblebum bureaucracy to congress. Some are good, some are bad ,and some both stupid and bad. : According to Drew, Pearson both Wickard and Fanny Perkins are on the way out, but we will believe it when they are out. Long ago Panny should have vanished amid her own vaporing. Claude Wickard is a horse of a different color, but no matter what color, he can’t pull the load or cut the buck nowadays. We think he is 100 per cent better than Wallace was, but that is not enough. He is only a trifle ‘the better of two evils. ’ The dreadful fear that dogs the administration, especially the INew ‘Dealers who love to dose and experiment with human nature, is that the country may have a real food shortage: Most any kind of a politician knows there is no use in rolling out the barrels if the people are hungry. If the country has to tighten its belt severely between now and next spring we look for a (Republican landslide much greater than that which flattened the Brown Derby.
