AL Smith Is Consistent.

The most important political news Of
the week end was that of the notice
twice served by former Gov. Al Smith
on the big chiefs Of Democracy that he
has no intention Of aiding the can
didacy of Gov. Franklin d. Roosevelt.
Invited to attend Roosevelt rally at
Seagirt, N. j., Saturday, and a Roose-
welt luncheon at West Hampton Beach,
Long Island, yesterday, Smith firmly
declined. He put teeth into his refusal
in both instances by remaining in the
neighborhood and devoting himself to
private affairs of the type easily put
aside in favor of political necessity.
Ever since Roosevelt's nomination the
new leaders of the Democratic party
have been engaged in an endeavor to
win Smiths passive approval, if not his
active support, for the national ticket.
Frank Hague, the uncrowned king OF
Jersey City, and Gov Joseph B. Ely Of
assachusetts, Smiths sponsors at the
Chicago convention, long since climbed
aboard the bandwagon, perhaps with
the hope that their action might make
easier the course of their friend, but
Smith has remained consistent.
Having publicly characterized Roose-
velt as a demagogue and pledged him.
self to fight him, Smith has not done
violence to his conscience by receding
from that position. 1t would have
been easier to fall into line, it might
even have been a generous thing to do.
But consistency happens to be one Of
Smiths virtues, and he deserves credit
for his willingness to endure the criti-
cism Of his party rather than abandon
| in the circumstances decision which
must have been long considered and
honestly reached.
Were Smith to declare for Roosevelt
now he would be guilty Of treason to

The Ice Man.

Some years ago song was briefly
popular that ran to the refrain, How
Would You Like to Be the Ice MANI"
That was before the days of electric
refrigeration and other means Of pre-
serving foods from the effects of heat.
The ice man was familiar figure in
domestic economy. In Summertime the
most welcome visitor to the house, he
dominated the kitchen upcn his ar
rival. He was an essential, and he
knew 1t, and he often conducted him
self in free and easy manner that
gave point to the refrain of the bal
lad. When various gadgets of me-
chanical refrigeration arrived compe-
tition was begun. The ice man resented
the invasion of his field by electric
switches and gas Jets and proclaimed
the failure of these means of making
cold for the keeping of foods. But the
time came when the gadgets drove the
ice man out Of large part Of his field.
There seemed, indeed, to be in pros
pect the complete disappearance of the
familiar dripping wagons with their
hooks and scales, trailed by thirsty
children, and their brawny attendants
with their tongs Disputes over weights
passed into memory. The trickling
drops from wagon to ice box vanished.
But the ice man is not gone. He
remains an intitution, somewhat less
in evidence. He is putting up a good
fight. Out in Denver, for example, a
meeting has just been held by the
executives of the ice companies of seven
Rocky Mountain States, who have de-
cided to put the ice man back on the
map. Hereafter these purveyors of
refrigeration will wear white uniforms
with brass buttons. They will carry
the ice in black satchels so that it
cannot drip. They will put mats in
front of the refrigerators so that they
can chip the ice cakes to fit the boxes
without soiling the floor. Then perhaps
the old song will be revived as the ice
man becomes once more a familiar well
come visitor to the home.

The FLYING Family.

A flying family" so-called, is about
to attempt a transatlantic flight.
Father, mother and two small daugh-
ters, they have been extensively press
agented as the first family group to
essay the passage. An attractive group,
they certainly are, and everybody wishes
them well in their project. If they sue
ceed, they will be roundly applauded
and generously honored. But what If
they fail?
Aviation in the past two decades has
made gigantic strides. Dificult things
have been done. Real victories have been
achieved Recent statistics indicate that
ordinASy flying is just as safe az ordi-
Rsgy Motoring. But the Atlantic flight

Gen. Phil Sheridan's vision of ma
tional defense is reflected so years later,
according to Lieut. Col. George P. Ahern,
U. S. A., retired, in recently announced
plans OF the War Department to divide
the continental United States into four
Army areas. Sheridan had two pet
ideas. One was to make more useful
the eWly-established school for officers
at Fort Leavenworth. The other was
to cut down the very large number of
Army posts in the country to four. to
be located at strategic points for train
ing and for national defense. Gen.
Sheridan was familiar with conditions
in the West. The small Army had re-

Somebody recently set going the yarn
that President Hoover doesn't read
much. The result was an inquiry which
authoritatively elected the fact that he
Is, on the contrary something of a
bookworm. He took with him on his
South American trip in 1929 about 200
books on Latin America Before the
voyage was over he developed three
literary passions: Dana's 1.-TWO Years
Before the Mast" Wilder's Bridge of
San Luis Rey" and Hudson's Far Away
and Long Ago" During his 31a years
in the White House Mr.. Hoover has
read the life of every President of the
United States about whom a biography
is extant. Informant further deposes
and says that Mr.. Hoover is accustomed
TO read himself to sleep, and again, II
he wakes up before morning. History,
economics, biography and detective
fiction make up the presidential book
diet.
The Washington economy program is
having an unexpected effect on the
forthcoming Nicaraguan presidential
elections. So far the national Congress
at Manap1Ia has failed to mass an ap-
preparation for the expense of American
supervision of the elections which are
due in October Since the United
States Senate turned down an appro-
priation for the same purpose in the
Navy appropriation bill, the American
electoral mission, which is already in
Nicaragua, will be up against it unless
Nicaragua comes across. And new

All a Part of the Game.

The grand old game of slamming the
Grand Old Party for having brought on
the depression and for not having ended
it is, of course, played in the name of
politics and nothing else. 1t is great
sport, relatively harmless, and the Re
publicans would be following the same
tactics If they we're looking in from the
outside. as the Democrats are. The
Democrats derive their greatest enjoy
ment just now from tagging Mr.. Hoover
with some of his past statements,
notably his comment of October rs,
1929, the day after the most dramatic
of the stock market crashes, that "the
fundamental business of the country
that Is, production and distribution of
commodities-is on sound and pros
porous basis" His statement of March Z,
1890, is also ressurrected with extraor-
dinary glee: "All the evidence indicates
that the worst effects of the crash upon
unemployment will have passed during
the next sixty days"
If one can for the moment forget
that this is all part Of the accepted
strategy of politics, conjecture on what
the President might have said is inter-
esting. An author in the current
American Mercury, writing "A Brief for
Bankers" asks the question:
OF what practical avail would it have
been, except as it affected the distribu-
tion of total losses, If all the bankers,
on the day following the first market
break of 1929, had accurately predicted
the course of the market during the
next two and one-half years?
And he gives the obvious answer,
which is that "a really accurate predic-
ton, if acted upon by the public, would
have led to an overnight collapse Of
our entire economic machinery"
The most bitter critic of the President
would hardly credit him with knowingly
and deliberately offering encoura cement
that he knew to be without any founda
tion. That would merely be inviting
trouble, and the President, in the course
of a tempestuous administration, has
seldom been in a position where he felt
that he had to invite trouble. 1t walked
in on him.
But suppose the President had gazed
into a crystal globe, and, on the day
following the crash, announced that the
country was in for the worst depression
the world had ever seen; that in the
next two and half years Steel would
fall from 261 to 25, the commodity price
level would drop AZ per cent and that in
the Winter Of 1882 some $4,000 900 per-
sons, practically one out of every five
men. women and children in the Nation,
would be recipients of charity? These
things, then, being inevitable, the people
must be courageous, Immediately estab-
lish a Government corporation with
authority to lend about $4,000, ,00o,000
to banks and private industry and to
the States, consolidate all forces to feed
the hungry and try to smile their
troubles away in the hope of better
day
Provided the President had been able
to convince lunacy commission of his
fitness to remain in the White House.
he would now be regarded as the worlds
most distinguished pessimist-the man
who asked for trouble and by his dire
predictions brought it on.

SHOOTING STARS.

Come on and tell your troubles friends, ~
Said Hezekiah Bings.
There's no one who just now foretends
To wear an angels wings.
And yet there must be speeches made
To help the world along,
Even If they have oft delayed
The dancing and the song.
If aches and pains are in your bones
Or maybe in your mind,
They can't be cured by feeble means
Or eloquence refined.
Your information must extend
To more explicit things.
Be calm, but tell your troubles, friends

is not ordinary flying. That 1t Is ex-
ceedingly dangerous is manifest from
the great number of failures as well as
from the appreciation and homage
which have been accorded those who
have safely made the trip. If it were
not hazardous, popular admiration for
Col. Lndbergh. Miss Earhart and Capt.
Mollison would be meaningless and
empty. No amount of argument or
propaganda can alter the fact that the
flying family" Is taking a perilous
chance.
Nobody challenges the right Of an
individual to risk his own life, but If
the flying family Is lost there will be
many who will feel that the two chill
dren have been sacrificed to foolhardy
and selfish enterprise on the part of
their parents. Normally, father pro-
tects his children from danger. In this
case there is the spectacle of a father
deliberately exposing his small daugh-
tiers to disaster.
But the responsibility for the cor
rection of such unwise enterprises rests
with the great body Of men and women
who desire the scientific development of
aviation. Their purposes are in no way
aided by risky stunts of any kind. On
the contrary, exhibitionism will do
incalculable harm to their profession.
They should cooperate to govern or, If
necessary, to eliminate flying fools from
participation in the game. Every sane
aviator who deplores the flying fam
ily's" intention should say so. Timely
warning in the circumstances is a Sc
rious duty.

lowers who accepted his Judgment Of
Roosevelt and have refrained from par
ticipating in the campaign. The break
between the two men is too definite
and final to be bridged. The whole in
cident recalls the differences between
Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard
Taft. In that historic parting of the
ways the one leader felt it his duty to
ruin the chances of the other. Smith

conclusion. He will not campaign
against Roosevelt, but he will abet his

That is consistent, to say the least and
