' ; Auctioneers: Froelich and Wick (Political Advertisement); REPUBLICANS URGE THAT COUNTY COURTS HANDLE ALL OLD AGE PENSIONS Payrollers Now Get One Dollar to Every Four Dollars That Pensioners Get. ^ It costs $4,500,00(1 annually t# administer Governor Horner's 'Tauperized" Old Age Assistance act. That is 25 per cent of the' $18,000,000 actually paid annually to 125,000 aged men and women who are receiving old age assistance under the present pauper law. These figures tell a sordid story. They don't lie. They are correct. The amount spent for administering the pension act is $4,500,000. That goes to Governor Horner's payrollers. The amount appropriated for the two year biennium is $46,000,000. Half of that,-which is spent annually* is $23,000,000. Taking off the $4,500,000 for administration and $500,- 000 spent annually for burials leaves the 18 million dollars. $4,500,000 is one-fourth of 18 million dollars, or 25 per cent, to payrollers before the 125,000 aged men and women of Illinois begin to receive their pittances, ranging from ^.SO to an average of $13 monthly. The cost of administration, equally divided among the 125,000 pensioners would give each one of them an increase of $36 per year or $3 per month. The truth and facts about the administration of the present old age assistance law by Governor Horner's administration will prove a revelation to the men and women who are receiving the small benefits under its provisions. Governor Horner and the Democrats pledge "an enlarged program." What does that mean? Increasing the number of payrollers and incidentally the cost of administration ? Administration of Old Age Pensions by the County Courts would save practically all of the $4,500,000 now spent for administration to the actual beneficiaries of the pension act. County Court administration is favored by Republican leaders who have given extensive study and thought to the problem through the past six months. They propose to fight in the next general assembly for an act administered by the courts. That would be so simple. Let the county court hear the application for enrollment and make a court order upon the State Auditor to draw the pension warrant and an order upon the State Treasurer to pay the warrant. Administration by the 102 county courts would make honesty of purpose the test instead of political preferment that now gives $2.50 a month to some and $25 to others. Under the pledge made by the Republican party in its platform all pensions are to be equal--$30 a month to the men and women of Illinois when they reach the age of 65 years and are not industrially employed. 3? DEBUNKER By John Harvey Furbay, Ph.D. kt Pukiit Ltiftr, Int. THOMAS PAINE WAS NOT AM ATHEIST Although Thomas Paine is ohen referred to as ar> American atheist, he was far froth being such a person. He play'ed a very important part in the founding of the American independent states, and did much to encourage the army of Washington by his now-famouS composition "The Crisis," which began with these words: "These are the times that try ftien's souls." His belief in a God is evidenced by the words of none other than the bishop of Llandaff, who said to him: "There is a philosophical sublimity in some of your ideas when speaking of the Creator of the universe." ; .

'Down to the Sea in Ships' The quotation "Down to the sea in ships," is in the 107th Psalm: "They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; these see the works of the Lord and His wonders in the deep." Only New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio and Illinois with Iowa, Wisconsin and Kansas reporting uncertainties at the hustings. As is customary just prior to the day when the public speaks through the ballot box, tke various campaigners are counting chickens before they are hatched in political incubators. Evidentally there are a number of surprises in store for the waiting political world. The betting which characterized other "off-year" elections is not as pronounced which indicates either apathy or tough sledding., . It will be difficult for the analysts to read the writing on the wall immediately after the returns are announced. In many districts, candidacies are based on a mixture of national and local issues which makes it hard to discern the real significance of the balloting. Roosevelt and his policies are dominating issues in some Congressional and Senatorial contests while in others national matters are subordinated to sharper questions of personalities and local matters. The Republicans feel confident they will pick up some seats in the House from the Mid-West regions and in the Eastern states. Out of the welter of controversy it is possible that several Presidential candidates will be projected into the 1940 picture. Some candidates for governor and United States Senator are considered logical prospects. The grist from the political mill will be widely assorted grades of public men. v Among current developments this week which have leaders of industry and government guessing; the proposed expenditure of two billions by the utilities to increase the efficiency of their generating-units when at the same time the Rural Electrification Administration attacks the same outfits in propaganda and by competitive action; the denial of Aubrey Williams, Acting WPA Administrator, on Sunday, October 30, that "WPA rolls are padded'in election years" when other Federal agencies report an upturn in private employment; whether the President's futile intervention with Twic« T«ld Tales ef biwtft Tto&cs Tmm fee Flee ef thn Plaladaak* • af Yean Age QUICK RELIEF- FROM STOMACH ULCERS buct* EXCESS ACID Pro* Book Toll* of Marvel* Circuit Court of McHenry County, Illinois, will on Friday, November 18th, A.

Smarting under the court's rejection of his pet scheme for farm control represented by the Triple A production adjustment programs, Wallace recently cracked down on the highest tribunal and at the alleged indifference of folks in the city. The Cabinet officer explained the peopled failure to blame the tribunal for outlawing his crop control scheme by claiming that,the surplus issue was not conspicuous for one season '*as nature continued to hide the enormity, of the Court's blunder." There is a hint of petulance in Wallace's comment that the farmers "think all city people are against them" because they ignore his department's efforts to regulate the farms.

'Misfortune,' 'Calamity* " During the period (when Gladstone and Disraeli were opposing leaders in British politics, Disraeli and a number of his cronies were one night when the conversation turned to distinction between words of similar meaning. After the comparison of several pairs of words had gone round the table someone asked Disraeli the difference between "misfortune" and "calamity." With but a second's thought Disraeli answered: "If Mr. Gladstone fell into the Thames river it would be a nysfortune; but if someone pulled him out, a calamity." The place was decorated to fit the occasion. Games, singing and dancing were enjoyed by all. About twelve, o'clock a lovely lunch was served to about twenty-three guests.
