POLITICAL JINGOING
(Alaska Daily Empire)
We have it on the very best of information, exerpts
from various anti-Administration speeches, that the
poor deluded American people are laboring under a
dictatorship. It is even so bad in some instances that
President Roosevelt turns out to be Stalin's left-lieuten
ant and we are right in step with Moscow. All we
have to do is buy a few more scythes and sickles, and
crosi them, and we ll be right under the red flag. Our
freedom is being taken away from us, and, let’s see, oh
yes, we are in the midst of an active and actual revolu
tion. Of course, there is a remote possibility that it is
just a presidential election year, but it sounds worse to
call :t a revolution, and mention Stalin a couple of
times, because he probably doesn't read the American
papers anyway.
But it is the freedom of the press that is really ser
ious. In all dictator-controlled countries, the newspap
ers either print what the Dictator says or they do not
print. So we have been perusing newspapers from
coast to coast, in an effort to find out whose doing all
this dictating.
Remarkable thing, we found certain papers taking
President Roosevelt to task in no uncertain language.
So it isn t Mr. Roosevelt. Then, we figure, it must be
Governor Landon. But. no, we find a very full-blooded
Democratic paper taking Mr. Landon’s ~ hide off and
hanging it on the fence, verbally. Further deductions
bring up t henames of James Farley, the Democratic
committee chieftain, and John Hamilton, who has a
similar capacity with the Republican party. But then
we find a Republican newspaper asserting that if Mr.
Hamilton would do tnus and so, it would be a cinch, and
a Democratic paper giving a column and a half of free
information to Mr. Farley, with the pointed paragraph '
at the end that if Mr. Farley would go and hide his
head in a barrel and let some of the real brains of the
Democratic party do the job there would be nothing to
it. Result: Ample proof that it isn’t Mr.Farley or Mr.
Hamilton who are doing the dictating.
Then it must be Mr. Hearst. He makes most of
the noise. But, strange thing, Mr. Hearst does most of
his bellowing in his own newspapers, we find, while the
other papers handle him as sort of the big, bad man of
the publishing business. So Mr. Hearst is out as the
dictator. He couldn t even dictate to his employees
down at the Seattle P.-I. They have been dictating to,
him for the past several weeks that he can’t publish'
the P.-I.
It is a serious situation. We have a dictatorship
with no dictator and a revolution with no revolters.
George McDermott used to sing a great many years
ago:
“We don’t want to fight, but by jingo, if we do,
“We’ve got the ships, we’ve got the men,
“We’ve got the money, too.”
Could it be that about every four years, we all do
just a little political jingoing? Sometimes it’s free sil
ver, and “16 to one,” sometimes it’s “he kept us out of

Governor Landon now demands that Congressmen
work. This marks him as a dangerous radical who
should be subject to deportation.—Cleveland Plain

The vaulting ambition of modern dictators permits
them to remember only the first pan of Caesar’s career,
not the end of it.—Boston Globe.

A CONGRESS WITH A BACKBONE
(St. Louis Post-Dispatch) ^
We make no prophecy as to who will be elected |
President in November. From the available evidence, |
however, it must be assumed that Mr. Roosevelt at the 1
moment has an even or better than an even chance to %
be chosen. We can only guage the probable course of n
Mr. Roosevelt as a second-term President by the record h
of his first term. That record has been one of constant \\
extension of the Federal power through “must” legis- C
lation in Congress. j £
We need in any case a Congress wfith backbone, a j
Congress that will resist both the bludgeonings and the j
blandishments of the Executive, a Congress that will ■*
subject every offered measure to the most searching j
examination. J
We need a Congress that will seek by the fullest J
debate to determine whether or not a measure is con- J
stitutional; a Congress that will resist attempts of the J
government at Washington to build itself up at the ex- |
pense of rights reserved to the States and the people; |
a Congress that will sternly set its face against efforts n
to do by indirection or subterfuge what can only be .)
done, if the orderly processes of our democratic form j
of government are to survive, by forthright amendment g
of the Constitution. i
