coming winter threatens to
bring more suffering, exposure
and starvation than America
has ever known.
But why should the State
bother about these people who
are out of jobs? Has not Mr..
Hoover said that these must de-
pend on the private charity of
the various communities?
Has he not taken the position
that the Federal Government,
sometimes facetiously referred
to as the Peoples Government,
must not concern itself with
such things? And is it not
good form for the Presidents
party in New York to parrot
his statement that the care Of
the suffering in such a crisis is
a matter for local expendi-
lures?

be raised, the winter should be

creasing the revenue of towns,
townships and counties.
And then, too, perhaps the
cost Of operating the State gov
ernment can be reduced. Just
what operations of that gov
ernment should be eliminated
we do not know. Just what
reductions should be made they
do not say. Just what blunders
they themselves made in max
ing the appropriations for these
operations they do not tell.
Let us make a suggestion:
Many millions could be saved
through the reorganization of
town and county governments,
persistently urged by Smith and
Roosevelt, and these gentlemen,
so much concerned over the
cost of State government, have
stood four square against it.
That would mean the elimi-
nation Of thousands Of political
jobs. And that would mean
unemployment among the de-
serving politicians of their per-
suasion.
That is a form Of "unemploy-
ment" that touches them to the
heart.
Whole Matter Now
Up to the People
And now 1t is up to the
people.
Governor Roosevelt has pro.
posed plan, incorporated in
bills, which Republican papers
editorially have said should be
promptly passed.
Inspired by a putrid kind Of
politics, the majority in Albany
has taken its stand against it,
lest it reflect some credit on the
governor.
The issue is made right now.
The governor should go to the
people in radio addresses and
indulge in straight, plain talk.
You annot procrastinate
with human misery, or play
politics with starvation, or
"high-hat" the suffering of
women and children.
The BourbonS tried it-and
the deluge came in revolution.
The Romanoffs tried it-and
the holocaust came.
The ruling classes Of Eng
land for decades ignored their
duty as to human misery, and
now a coalition Is striving des-
perately to save society, and
the result is still upon the knee
OF. the gods.
To preserve our social and
political system we must put
our house in order-now and,
pending imperatively required
reforms, we must spend what
ever is necessary to create jobs
and prevent suffering. Thus
only can it be written later:
= "And the rain descended, and
the floods came, and the winds
blew and beat upon the house;
and IL fell mot: for IL was

tendency to get battered knees. The
shoulder straps OF the suit cross in

SYNOPSIS: Harriet NoePs refusal to wed Tony Latour re- cults in his theft Of the funds of an Orchard Hill benefit play. The money gives Tony start on the stage in New York, where soon Harriet comes seek ing theatrical honors. Tony's quarrel with her when he learns that she is engaged to their plays manager, Roy Donovan, causes him to return to Or chard Hill. After an unhappy married life, Donovan deserts Harriet and their four-year- cid son, Pierre, taking Bruce, his stcpson, with him. When she returns to Orchard Hill to rear her beloved son in the country, Tony sees her stage talent reflected in him.

 girl with them.
 The first time it occurred Pierre gravely introduced his little friend Father Tony, this is Ann. have decided to marry Ann when ] grow up and we will have 12 chil- dren-six boys and six girls. We like children, don't we, Ann?"
 The little girl nodded emphati- cally and Pierre explained An tonio's relationship You see Ann. Father Tony likes children too only for some reason he hasn't any, so he has me and now he has you
 When Antonio had assured them heartily that he would be very hap py to have the tiny roly poly mite of womanhood for his little girl Pierre. said in his quaint, grave way, Well, then, Ann, you must always call him Father Tony just as I do-until we have our chill dren, then, of course, it will be proper to say Grandfather Tony so that's all arranged.
 That fall Pierre went to scnool. Winter passed and again it was spring.
 Antonio was washing his breaaa- fast dishes one morning when he heard a knock at the door. Such an occurrence was so unusual that at first he did not answer, telling himself that he had imagined the sound. But when the knock came again-hurried and imperative-he went quickly, dishcloth in hand, to the door.
 It was Harriet, alone and greatly disturbed She had never before come to Antonio's home and he, for a moment, could only stand and wonder at her presence.
 Forgive me for coming she said hurriedly, but I must talk with you at once"
 Without a word he drew aside for her to enter. She stepped into the room and could not but notice the household evidences of his poverty and loneliness. As he stood there, dishcloth in hand, in that bare, cheerless apartment, Harriet Noel forgot her mission, her eyes filled with tears.
 Impulsively she exclaimed, "Oh, Tony, dear, am so sorry. I-I did not realize"
 For moment Antonio Latour then smiled reassuringly md with an air as self possessed IS he had ever affected on the stage, placed a chair for her. When 'he was seated, he asked with grave concern, What is it, Harriet? What can I do for you?"

Chapter g A PAST'S SHADOW

ANTONIO, Harriet and Pierre spent many hours together that summer and autumn. To the rare and beautiful companionship of the mother and son was added a friendship as rare and beautiful
 All the joys the two older people had experienced in their childhood they lived again with Pierre. And when, in spite of the villagers at titlfde toward his mother, the boy found friends and plavmates among
 ne children, Harriet and Tony were glad
 And all this time Harriet was laying the foundation of a char acter that would enable him to play in life the part to which she believed he was born.
 You see" Old Tony says, liar riet saw her son upon those heights in the theatrical world to which she had aspired but could now never attain. All the dreams and hopes of stage career which from her girlhood she had held for her self she now held for Pierre
 And then, drawing his frail body erect and proudly lifting his silver crowned head, the old actor adds: And I, sir-I maintain that if ever a human being was, before birth cast to play a definite role in this life, Pierre Donovan was born to be an actor"
 It was during that first sum- mer, too, that little Ann Bevis came into the pattern of Pierre ! Donovan's life. The Bevsies lived ! on the edge of the village, not far from Harriet's house, and it hap | pensd, quite naturally, that occas- ionally when Antonio went to meet l
