The Leopard Has Not
Changed His Spots

The vote in New York was
a fair-play protest against a
flagrantly partisan conspir-
acy, hatched in Washington,
and against methods that
have been employed in the
Hof S t a dter investigation.
The brazen hypocrisy of
these Republican politicians,
piously posing as crusaders
of righteousness and refus-
ing to vote an investigation
of Republican communities
where specific charges of
corruption or irregularities
are made, has nauseated the
people of New York.
The falsity and dishonesty
of the attempt to convince
intelligent people that the
city administration has done
nothing, when it has the
greatest record Of sound and
permanent constructive work
of any administration since
the days of the Dutch, has
disgusted the average man.
But nothing did so much
to convince e the people
of the hypocrisy Of the
partisan scheme as some
Of the disclosures of the Re-
publicans' own investigating
committee. When the head
of their ticket testified as to
his own proceedings in such
a way as to discredit him
self; when one of their own
party testified that he had
been asked for a $4,000 con-
tribution by a Republican
boss as a consideration for
a judgeship nomination, the
public was persuaded that
whatever may be said about
the tiger, the leopard has not

A gay hill. A gay little
town, with the tides sweeping

silent marshes.
I remember the first time I
saw them, as a little child,
riding with my father into the
back country. It was a winter
day but warm and sweet, as
Californian winters are. I had
been jumping in and out Of
the old blackboard, gathering
wild flowers. My hands were
filled with buttercups and pop
pies. Suddenly the road swung
around an unfamiliar turn. :.
and the brightness was all
blotted out.
There lay the marshes,
stretching endleSSly, dark and
silent, with the fog rolling in
upon them. From them there

LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson.

"I want to go home!" I
whimpered.
But he only smiled and held
me close, with a deep under
standing in his kind eyes. And
so we went ahead, into the
fog, across the marshes.
Marshes Lose Terror
And in time, I, too, learned
to smile when I came to the
marshes. For, though they
never ceased to seem strange
and apart from the happy
world, they lost their horror.
I found they had a great beauty
all their own. Even the fog
was lovely, with its trailing
gray veils-its pearly, opal
escent banks. And when the
fog lifted, the marshes spread
brilliant as a peacock's tail,
blue and jade and bronze, with
the sloughS running through
them in a network Of silver
between great phosphorescent
patches of slime, rust and
mauve.
And at night, when the moon
hung in a great, pale bubble
above that vast, quiet place,
there was a mystery and peace
there as in no other place on
earth. \
Often, going on through the
years, I have thought back to
those marshes, treasuring their
memory the more as my sense
Of beauty deepens. And I have
come to see how like they are
to that other strange, lonely
place which lies waiting in every
life the dark salt acres of
sorrow.
Then Comes Darkness
For we come to sorry as I
came to the marSheS-ignorant,
laughing children, with wild
flowers in our hands. Then, Of
a sudden, the brightness is gone
and there is only darkness
and horror and a low, ceaseless
meaning.
Terror overcomeS us and we
cry to go home back again,
across that sunny hill to the
place where life was easy and
safe and sweet. But we cannot
go back.
And we cry in rebellion-in
But the Face above us smiles
in infinite understanding
and holds us close
And so we go on together,
into the fog, across the
marshes
And presently the fog lifts.
And though we still are lonely
we see that there, is beauty in
this place-and secret tides Of
strength--and a strange glory
of endurance-and lovely, sill
very peace.

A Protest Against
Partisan Unfairness

Thus months Of lurid
headlines, hysterical denunci-
ations, hypocritical insinu-
ations have brought one re-
suit the most smashing
Democratic majority in the
history of the city.
This impressive action of
the people is a protest
against partisan unfairness
and against the concerted
action Of agencies Of pub
licity to blacken the good
name of New York city.
But it is something more:
1t is an answer to the con-
ferences Of Mr.. Macy with
Administration leaders in
Washington. And still some
thing more: It is a protest
against the incapacity or in
disposition of the National
Administration to face the
human problems of men,
women and children in mis-
cry with an unemployment
program or an adequate pro-
gram of relief.
Beh ind this smashing
Democratic majority in New
York is the same explanation
that is found behind the
smashing Democratic major
ity in New Jersey-the futil-
ity and failure of the
= Hoover Administration.
There is every indication
that the Democrats will con-
troll the National House of
Representatives. A sound,
staunch, Republican Con-
gressional district in Mich
igan was told that the Presi-
dent was "the issue" and
the people there moved like
an army with banners to
the election Of a Democratic
Congressman.

licaf Administration. There
is a feeling in New York
that if the Hoover Admins
tration attends to its own
business better than it has,
it will have no time to
project itself into the local
politics of communities
capable of attending to their
own.
As far as the Republican
legislature is concerned, the
purpose Of this fishing expe-
dition is political-to smear
the regulations of Demo-
cratic leaders; to spread in
situations and innuendoes;
to cast reflections on the
characters Of reputable men,
and, after playing these up
in lurid headlines and flash
ing them to the country, to
lower the curtain on them.
Democratic leaders were to
be paraded as potential, if
not actual, criminals.

A Smashing Victory
For the Democrats

In New York city the
Democrats won a smashing
victory, the head of their
ticket polling the largest
vote ever cast for a candi-
date. To the readers of
newspapers in other cities
and throughout the country
who have been fed on in
situations in the press, this
may seem surprising.
In New York the condi-
tions are known and there
is no misunderstanding of
the last few months. It is
commonly understood that
the fis h in g expedition,
called an investigation, "
was a plan of Kingsland
Macy, Republican s State
chairman, conceived in con-
ferences in Administration
circles in Washington, to
divert attention from the
tragic fruits of the Repub-
The Washington times., 1931-11-07

TUESDAY, was a fatal day
l. for "the only party fit
to govern. Everywhere the
voters smote the "wise and
good" hip and thigh, and
sent them scrambling in dis
order to their tents. Every
where, even in the local elec-
tions in New York City, the
Hoover Administration was
the issue. This was made
the issue by common consent
in New Jersey. The Presi-
dent sent Mr.. Doak, his Sec
retary of Labor, to that State
to ask a Republican victory
as a vindication of his poll
cies-or lack of policies.
Ambassador Edge, his rep
resentative in Paris, to
which the President has sur
rendered without the firing
of a shot, came home to beg
the people Of his State to
place the stamp Of their ap-
proval upon an Administra-
tion of unprecedented blum
dering. And Harry Moore,
the Democratic nominee for
Governor, accepted the issue
with almost unholy glee.
Closing his campaign he said !:
"Votes cast for me will
represent a protest against
President Hoover. The Re-
publican State platform upon
which my adversary is bas-
ing his candidacy, and which
was drawn up under his
supervision has as its first
plank an endorsement of the
Administration of President
Hoover. This is a sufficient
provocation for the people
Of New Jersey to flock to
the polls on Tuesday and
cast an emphatic vote of
protest.
And so the issue was clear
cut; and such a spokesman
Of the Administration as
Mark Sullivan, m mi ster
without portfolio, admitted
it in his articles; the New
York Times and New York
Herald Tribune said it; and
it is so.
Now we have the answer
a veritable landslide for
Moore. The Administration
not unnaturally overlooked
a little point-it was deal
ing with an American cleo
tOrate.

Senator Baird Makes
An Admission

3AA &1AAA4DS4On
Senator Baird of New
York, in commenting, makes
an admission:
1T would seem that in
this great State of ours a
vote Of protest is cast
against the present Admin
istratiOn and the present
existing times.
That is one and the same
thing. The existing times"
have something to do with
the Administration, which,
with its predecessor, encour-
aged the unprecedented
swindle of the stock mar
ket frenzy; which built pro-
hibitive tariff walls against
trade; which refuses to look
the tragic problem of unem-
ployment in the face; which
offers not one constructive
plan to solve the human
problems of these times. It
was a vote on the plans Of
the Administration to trans
fer the debt of fourteen ma
tions to the backs of Amer
lean taxpayers.
Yes, Senator Baird, it was

Makes Plea
for Women
in Business

Deploring the fact that women Of
middle age are put on the shelf, .
Mrs. Adah o. Frost, president of the
Indiana Federation of Business and
Professional womens Clubs, made q
plea for solution of the problem OF
the older woman in business at the
Indiana night observance of the
local business women's club at the
Woman's Department Club house
Thursday night.
Il believe that one of the ways to
serve our federation and fulfill the
purpose for which we are organ
ized," Mrs. Frost said, SIS to use our
influence in the retention of the
older business woman"
Explaining that this is the first
time such a problem has presented
itself, she continued: Never before
has there been a large enough
group of middle-aged women in
business to cause comment.
Men from 40 to so years of age
are considered lin their prime"
Mrs. Frost said.
Our legislators, Governors, may
orS, rarely under 40, usually are
considered of more value as states
men after years Of experience. Law
yerS and doctors never reach the
height of their profession until
they attain the dignity and poise
of later years"
Mrs. Frost urged her club mem
bers to use their influence in help
ing their sisters keep their self
respect intact, "unbruised by sense
of uselessness," and in proving to
their employers that the assets of
