Tracking THE PRESIDENT,

All those who are interested in
politics now have the opportunity
of noting how deftly the journals
Of the grand old party are giving
their credulous readers to under
stand that the nation is backing the
President in his vote of the late
farm relief bill. One such news
paper blandly informs its clientele
that Of the FLOOD of messages
which have been received at the
White House, IS per cent con-
graduated him upon his recent
veto.
Let's exercise a little Judgment,
not permitting prejudice or party
loyalty to decamp with reason. The
facts are that majority of the
people living in the eastern part of
the United States opposed the Nc
Nary Haugen bill; that roughly. a
majority of the people living west
of Pennsylvania and south and
southwest OF the Mason and Dixon
line favored the bill; that a ma
jority OF representatives and sena-
tors, eager to reflect the wishes of
the majority of their constituents,
voted for the measure. With this in
mind. Is it reasonable to suppose
that the nation backs the President
in his veto? This is a free country.
and anyone is privileged TO believe
anything he wishes, even that white
is black. Those who show pre-
objection to base their belief upon
self-evident facts will so slow about
conceding any such wild claim.
The truth probably lies nearer
the fact that the majority of
the people Of the nation were dis
appointed. A rational supposition Is
That many will be alienated from
supporting him If any man of
presidential caliber-such as Low
den-can be induced to contest the
next nomination with him. Perhaps
1t does not mean they would sup
port a Democratic candidate but
certainly that, so far as the west Is
concerned, a new Republican can
didate would be preferred This has
nothing whatever to do with
whether the farm relief bin was
vicious" or class legislation" The
east may be entirely right on this
point; but that isn't saying the
west is not sore about the veto.
OF course. the President still has
tremendous advantage if he
cares to run for a third term. To
begin with. he has the southern
delegates all sewed up for use at
the convention, and can rely upon
sundry other COP. delegates from
the east. These may be enough to
insure his victory by proving too
much OF a handicap to Lowden or
any other contestant, But the west

Passing Thoughts on a Recent
February Evening
By John T. Dreyfus
Round the house the wind is blow
ing;
Cold and bitter night; it's showing;
All the windows are obscured by
frost and steam;
Let me light my faithful briar;
Pile a log upon the fire;
Tonight I'll stay inside. and
smoke, and dream.
In this cold, harsh February
Fondly do my memories tarry
Round the golden days and sill
yer nights of June;
How our hearts grew fonder and
fonder
As each night we used TO wander
She and I-beneath that sympa-
thete moon.
All the sonnets ever written
Cannot tell how l was smitten;
In her eyes there glowed loves
old eternal flame;
Can I help it if my yearning
Heart tonight keeps backward turn
ing
To my Httle-what in thunder
WAS her name?

feated the PhiIo basketball team
here Friday night. Score--44 to Is.

and M. & M. players had about as
many fouls marked up against them
as they had points. The first quar-

Big Reds" In the second quarter
the locals collected Is points; their
opponents z. In the third quarter
Philo made but two, and the same
number in the last quarter. M. &c

period was 80. They made the

half of the game. Bingham's scor-
