HE VI BEST .WEEKLY IN THE NORTHWEST rS ELECTION TIME.
Mr. A. Lincoln said. 'Vou can't
fool all the people all the time."
"You don't have to." someone else
said, '"only Just a t election time."
I guess we are all thinking
about what kind of man each of
us would like for the next presi-dent
of these United States. I
know I have.
You might think it would be
easy t o be president—getting ad-vice
f r om every one. But t h a t is
the catch—140 million kinds of
advice.
The last time I was In Wash-ington.
D. C-, some wag was
handing out "Truman Badges", a
big weird plaque with the initials
G. A. I. C. (Gosh, Am I Confus-ed.)
I t surely seems to be the
t r u t h .
I've been thinking of Presidents
I have known. Known, you know,
like I know Jack Dempsey or
Hedy LaMar.
The f i r s t one was Grover Cleve-land.
I t was in Vermont. The news
of his election came. They sud-denly
found enough Democrats in
t h a t nest of Republicans to have
a torchlight parade. Someone
gave me a torch and I marched
around with the gang u n t l h my
f a t h e r found me. He made me
t a k e back the kerosene oil torch
and led me home.
I t was a sad walk. I had kero-sene
oil and dust on my school
clothes and father saw in the elec-tion
of a Democrat the early end
of the world. You see. it ended 24
years of Republican domination
but we have managed t o stagger
along.
Cleveland was a brave honest
man. I believe he was the f i r s t
president to be married in the
White House. He also had a major
operation for cancer while he was
president but people, generally,
never heard about It. You would
not believe such a thing could
happen, but it did.- Franklin
Roosevelt also had an operation
t h a t few people knew about.
Then there was McKinley, the
high t a r i f f man. He was reserved
and dignified. I don't believe he
would have gone f a r had It not
been for his backer. Mark Hanna.
Mark Hanna is credited with the
remark t h a t "if he had enough
mony he could elect a Chinaman
president of these United States."
McKinley was shot and died In
office.
Then there was Roosevelt the
F i r s t . He had personality plus He -
was the author of the remark.
"Speak softly but c a r r y a big
stick." His "big s t i c k " was the
navy which made a t r i p around
t h e . w o r l d . They are t a l k i n g of
duplicating that f e a t with a big
fleet of toombers. I 'm all for it.
Some people believe only what
they can f e t .
Theodo/e Roosevelt was very
democratic. He once overtook a
negro trying t o c a r r y two heavy
suitcases. "Let me help you." said
Teddy, and he did. The two men
chatted as they traveled along.
Booker T. Washington said a f t e r -
ward t h a t was the f i r s t time he
met Roosevelt.
When Teddy Roosevelt was
police commissioner of New York
City some people came t o him t o
prevent some rabid J ew baiter
f r om talking. "I won't do t h a t , "
said Roosevelt, "but I'll send a
police escort."
He sent the escort: every one of
t h e policemen was a Jew.
Then there was Wilson, the col-lege
professor, the head of Prince-ton
College. He was so scrupulous
about giving governmental posi-tions
t o members of his family
t h a t , when a caller mentioned that
a very distant relative held a gov-ernment
contract, Wilson had the
contract annulled, causing a ser-ious
breach in t h e family.
Can anyone In the audience

Wilson died of a broken heart

PLEA FOR
CHEST FUNDS
• Miss Dorothea Grill and L. S.
Christofero, Girl Scout and Boy
Scout executives with headquar-ters
in Bremerton, {old of work of
their groups in a plea for Com-munity
Chest support, a t the
Tuesday evening meeting of the
Bainbridge Island Chamber of
Commerce. A very small attend-ance
was recorded.
From one Girl Scout troop
s t a r t ed several, years ago by Mrs.
J . Harvey Griffith, Green Spot, t o
five troops of Scouts and Brown-ies,
has been the enviable record
on Bainbridge Island, Miss Grill
said. With the aid of the Kitsap
County Girl Scout Council, mo^e
troops are planned, she added.
In addition the Girl Scouts have
secured a 160-acre campsite for
use by county girls. Miss Grill said.
This has been accomplished by
support from the Bremerton Lions
Club and not.from chest funds, she
explained. Chest funds a r e used
for personnel and group activities
only, she said.
Mr. Christofero. new t o the
county, reported on Boy Scout ac-tivities,
which he said, were in
need of much improvement. He
blamed the slight Interest being
shown by Island boys, not on the
boys nor their parents and spon-sors,
but on »he f a c t that the Boy
Scouts w c r e ^ J u s t t a k i n g over
county-wide /work. They a r e al-most
entirely dependent on Com-munity
Chest funds, he added.
In the o l f l n g a r c more leader-ship
from the Boy Scout Council.
Mr. Christofero saig, with a t least
three addition&l Islan |
