Famous Historian / . ^ Hits New DealeVt on Broken Plecfge* New York, N. Y. -- America's most faVnous historian,. James Truslow Adams, in his latest volume on current history, discloses that from the nonpartisan viewpoint of the historian the New Deal administration has broken more pledges to the people than any other administration. 1 ' "I cannot recall any other president and party which has gone so far in'- the solemnity of their pledges," Mr. Adams writes in his new book, "Nor do I recall any other such repudiation of them. "That repudiation has not been the result of overwhelming circumstance, but , has largely resulted from the endeavor to make over the whole pattern-of, our social and ^economic to, meet the personal .approbation of « president. . "The question at once arises, how can self-government continue Jf a ^people cannot put trust in the most solemn pledges of the party and candidates for whc^ • ipajority vote? y "If we cannot GO SO, theft the "system of party government must crumble, arid we have nothing to teke its place, except dictatorship <ir revolutionary chaos." . The book, "The Living Jefferson," is ^published by Scribners. Mr. Adams is the author, among others, of "Founding of New England," WOMAN TAXI DRIVER - Morton Grove, UL 'Aug. 19, 1936k ' .

Very truly yours, Louella Lawrence Fisheft |«andon Leading 2 to 1 in Six-State Radio Poll Chicago, 111.--Reflecting the nationwide swing away from the New Deal Party, Governor Alf M. Landon, Republican Presidential nominee, is maintaining a two-to-one lead over President Roosevelt in a. poll conducted by the mid western radio station, WIND. Covering six states, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Iowa and Wisconsin, the poll requires that all votes must be written and sent in through the personal interest of the voter. With Governor Landon showing better than 12,000 votes at the latest count and President Roosevelt trailing with less than 6,000, the minor candidates of Lemke, Browder and Thomas divided another 1,500 votes. 2218 Ball ou St ~ Evils of Restricted Production No policy of restricting production and artificially raising prices is sound policy. Reduction of production inevitably affects the real wages pf everyone; therefore, it lowers the standard of living. And, more th^n, anything else, it leads to the bread lines, to ration cards and to a form of government that is not a democracy but an autocracy. (Frank Knox, Worcester, Mass., speech.)

Went over to see the spot where our old swimming hole (Old Black Muck) used to be. As you know, the pond is gone and in its plage are rich fields of potatoes and cornfields. The two oak trees still are standing, that leaned out over the pond arid three out of the seven hickorynut trees still stand and are sure big and thick. Went down to Boone Creek below the bridge the other evening and found it banked by cement walls nearly to the river and enclosed by a heavy wire fence. As I stood there contemplating and trying to' revive old memories from the new scene, a huge "red horse", leaped out of the water, winked his eye and said: "Hello, Frank." The river has a dam a half mile below Colon's Point, so the water is high and lined with cottages. The old cheese factory still stands but has been made into a residence flanked by Hanley's Woods, where we used to play at pioneers and shoot squirrels with the old muskets from the Civil War. Hanley's Mill is still there and is some remodeled. I could still vision where we put the lumber wagon on the roof. The mill is a very busy place and farmers are lined up bringing in theiy wheat which is exceptional, considering the drouth and rans around 60 lbs. to the bushel. Fritz Kamholz still runs his barber shop and you would know him if you chanced to meet him in ole London or Shanghai.

One provision of the act said that 5 per cent of the net proceeds of the sale of lands within the state by congress should be reserved for the building of public roads and canals, although the state was to receive only three-fifths of the amount, with the rest to be used in building toads from the eastern seaboard to the new Itate This "3 per cent fund" netted the state $575,547.75 from 1821 to 1867-- truly a negligible sum as compared with highway expenditures of later times.
