Owner and Editor WALTER B.. OAOEN, AMOciste Editor Display AdYertlstng Rates on^ Application Entered as Second Class Matter at the Post Office at Southold, N. Y., un> der the Act of Congress on March 3, 1879. THURSDAY, JULY 13, 1939 Editorials This Third Term Issue Senator Edward R. Burke, anti-New Deal Democrat, has introduced a resolution in the U. S. Senate to amend the Consti- tution (we revere the Constitution and therefore start it with a capital \c\) so as to limit the term of all future presidents of this great republic to six years. Now comes Uncle Joe GufTey of Pennsylvania, long a hand- maiden for the administration, who says that the opponents of Mr. Roosevelt and his New Deal: \Threaten the people with revolu- tion and civil war if Mr. Roosevelt is 'bamboozled' out of a third tprm.\ Our opinion is that if he gets a third term it will be be- cause the people have been \bamboozled\ into letting him have it. He also warns politicians who oppose Mr. Roosevelt for a third term that they cannot consistently ask for more than two terms if they oppose Mr. Roosevelt for a third. Well, there is no argu- ment there. The office of Congressman or U. S. Senator is very different. Let's skip it. Mr. Guffey has been, for forty-three years, a practical politician. He admits it. According to his line of rea- soning he has been living on borrowed time, politically, from 31 to 37 years. And we don't hear anything about Brother GuflFey quit- ting. The fly in the ointment is that unless Mr. Roosevelt stays in power, Mr. GufFey will likely also be out. And that hurts. Guff'iy is yelling for himself. And that applies to some cabinet members and a host of lesser office holders. Mr. Guflfey says (now this is good so please read careful- ly) : \As a matter of cold political fact, if Franklin Delano Roose- velt is elected to the Presidency again, it will be his first real term of office. When you elected him in 1932, his first term was cancelled, vetoed by the Supreme Court.\ (Something a lit- tle unconstitutional, perhaps.) \When you re-elected Roosevelt in 1936, (he doesn't say whether or not WPA had anything to do with the election, but some people have their suspicions) his second term was stolen by tories and political ingrates.\ Some- how, we seem to recollect that any one who raise? his voice against any act of this administration is either a Tory, a Money-changer or some equally filthy and undesirable person. His broadcast goes on: \The judges and the lawyers cheated the people out of President Roosevelt's first term. The ingrates and the middle-of- the-roaders robbed the people of President Roosevelt's second term.\ Well, we hope that something will intervene and spare us a Third Term. The people of this country are sick and tired of the whole business. We are sick and tired of all this name calling. Tlie tories, money-changers, dictatorships, etc. The whole bunch are out on a limb, and the sooner the people saw off the limb, elect someone else, and let the New Dealers go to work for a living, the better off this country will be. That Soviet-Jap \Incident\ on the Manchoukuo-outer-Mongolia frontier is developing into another one of those flghts in which neither side ever loses. The Japs win in the morning papers and the Russians win in the evening editions. Either the Japs get up earlier than the Russians or they get to a telegraph office quicker. Sometimes they both win in the same paper. In one column a dispatch from Moscow claims that the Japs were driven back two miles. In the next column a communique from Tokio says the Japs advanced two miles. If both reports are true, then Japan has the only army that can retreat forward, I see that the Government is again buying foreign silver. That's like the fellow who buys things he doesn't need, with money he doesn't earn, to impress people he doesn't like. * * * * * * The- State of Virginia had its day at the World's Fair this week.

Unless you have t r i e d to borrow money when you need it, you don't know how difficult it Is, Everybody wants to loan you money when you don't need it. Senator Ford That Giant-Dodger feud, so cleverly cooked up by Mr, Willyum Terry, is proving itself enough of a financial success to get a polite nod from Mr, Morganthau. It may even make enough money to warrant a Federal investi- gation. It's quite a trick to make one crack that will have people fighting their way into a ball park so they can yell themselves into a case of rusty vocal plumbing and pay $1,10 for the privilege, Mr, Terry's \Is Brooklyn still in the League?\ Is probably the most profitable one line quiz ever conducted. It has declared dividends for the Giants, the Brooklyns, and the throat lozenger companies for years, A line of fans, with a box office at one end, is Mr, Terry's idea of a rainbow with its pot of gold. What's happened to New York City? There hasn't been a judge indicted in a whole week. The Eternal Female Since the world began she has been uppermost in the mind of man. Since a rib was taken from Adam to form the first wo- man, the female has been the most respected, the most criticized, the most criticizing, the cattiest and the loveliest creature on God's green footstool. In \Lucy Gray,\ Wadsworth speaks of woman as \The sweetest thing that ever grew Beside a human door.'' And John Tobin said \The man that lays his hand upon a woman, save in the way of kindness, is a wretch.\ And Wadsworth said in his ode to a young lady: \Shalt show us how divine a thing A woman may be made.\ And in the 17th century, Thomas Otway spoke of the fe- male of the human race as follows: \O woman! lovely woman 1 nature made thee To temper man; we had been brutes without you: Angels are painted fair to look like you: There's in you all that we believe of heaven; Amazing brightness, purity and truth, Eternal joy and everlasting love.\ After all this testimony, we might as well admit that the 'women have the edge on us. From Boadicea to Carrie Nation, women have never hesitated to play an important part in world affairs. So, we propose this toast: \To the ladies, God bless them. May we always revere and respect them as long as they let us run things, or let us think we are.\ Cooperation Gratefully Acknowledged By The Moiquito Commistien Suffolk County Mosquito Extermination Commission Riverhead, Long laland My dear Sirs: May I be privileged to take this opportunity to express my apprejsi- ation to your bureau for the very excellent work which your men have done in the vicinity of Pinecrest Dunes again this year? Th e district surrounding t h e camp has been made very definitely more pleasant as a result of the efforts of your commission. We have been able to detect a very positive result —since the mosquito annoyance has decreased very perceptably since the beginning of this spring. If there is any way in which our camp or our patrons can assist yoiu bureau at any time, we shall be happy to recitnxKate. (Signed) W.

Tom Ward, Director Pinecrest Dunes Camp for Boys Peconic, Long Island Dear Mr, Ward: It was a real pleasure to receive your letter of Jime 30th, compliment- ing the Mosquito Commission on the control work done in the vicinity of Pinecrest Dunes, Camp for Boys, at Peconic, Long Island. We appreciate and thank you for this acknowledge- ment of our effort. You may be sure that we will continue to do our best to keep mosquitoes under satisfactory control in e v e r y section of Suffolk County. In the last paragraph of your letter you state as follows: \If there is any way in which our camp or our pa- trons can assist your bureau at any time, we shall be happy to reciprocate.\ This unsolicited but highly appreci- ated resolve on your part is the very heart of a successful mosquito control program. There is much you can do. And this applies to every citizen of the county, particularly if we are to cope with the household mosquito —more commonly known as the \rainbarrel\ species. We are approaching the peak of the mosquito breeding season. During July and August, not only must greater vig- ilance be exercised by every one, but prompt action must be had in cor- recting all mosquito violations. This particular species is a most prolific breeder. U n l e s s preventive measures are taken, a new brood will emerge every eight to ten days. Very little can be done about the matter after the Insect is on the wing. Con- trol measures, to be effective, must be applied before the pest reaches that stage. Stagnant w a t e r standing on the premises in any form of rece^acle is a guarantee that mosquitoes will become troublesome In a very few days. Such places must be tightly sealed, screened, or treated with oil or larvicide spray at eight to ten day intervals. A bet- ter safeguard is to entirely eliminate stagnant water wherever possible. The Mosquito Commission, with its moder n equipment, is fighting the mosttuito iHttle cn many fronts; but unless the householders, tenants, and citizens in general Join whole-heart- edly in the warfare Mfalnst man's common enemy—the \household\ mos- quito—^satisfactory results can never be attained in this particular phase of the work. Thank you again for your letter and offer of cooperation, Suffolk County Mosquito Extermination Commission 50,000 Officers and Men to Hold Army Maneuvers at Plattsburg The largest peacetime concentration of American troops in history will be mobilized in the area about Platts- burg, New York, next month for the First Army Maneuvers, it was an- nounced t(May by Major General Hugh A. Drum, Commanding the Second Corps Area. More than 50,000 officers and men of the Regular Army, National Guard and Organlaed Reserves will partici- pate in the maneuvers from August 13 to 27th under General Drum's di- rection. For the first time since the Ameri- can Civil War a Field Army wUl be concentrated for action on the Ameri- can Continent under t h e immediate command of a single officer. The climax of the maneuvers will come when this Field Army, consist- ing principally of four National Guard Divisions from the New E n g l a n d States, New York and New Jersey, ad- vances in battle array against a some- what smaller force of the Regular Army armed and equinped with the latest devices of modern, high-speed warfare. General Drum himself will command the Field Army which will be com- posed of two Corps made up of two Divisions each. The First Corps, com- manded by Major General Morris B, Payne, of the Connecticut National Guard, will consist of the 26th (Mas- sachusetts and New Hampshire) and the 43rd (Maine, Vermont, Rhode Isl- and, Connecticut) National Guard Di- visions. The Second Corps will be command- ed by Major General WUliam N. Hask- ett, of the New York National Guard. In it. will be the 27th (N.Y.) and the 44th (N.J., N.Y,) National Guard Di- visions, All National Guard troops will be commanded by their own of- ficers. Confronting these two Corps on the field of mock battle will be a defend- ing force led by Major General James A, Woodruff, U, S, A„ now Command- ing General, First Corps Area, with headquarters at Boston. The defend- ing forces will consist principally of the First Division, R e g u l a r Army, drawn chiefly from military posts in New York State, the 18th Infantry Brigade, Regular Army, from New England, and the Seventh Cavalry Brigade, the largest completely mecha- nized unit in the United States Army, The llghtnlng-rod was Invented by a printer—Ben Franklin, The cotton- gin was invented by a teacher,, Eli Whitney, The telegraph was Invented by a painter named Samuel Morse, The electric light a n d phonograph were the Inventions of a telegrapher, Thomas A, Edison, George Washing- ton, an aristocrat of Virginia, that most aristocratic state, led us through the Revolution and for eight years was president of the U, S, A, When the second great crisis In this coun- try, that of slavery, threatened to de- stroy the Union, the man who saved the day was a lawyer by the name of Abraham Lincoln, a country lawyer from Illinois, who was bom in a log cabin in Kentucky, But all of these men had plain common sense.
