Christmas Poem Is Written
About 4 Roosevelt Grand
Children by Kentuckian

NEW YORK, Dec. "a >QN.SJ. .
For the first time in their young
lives, the four grandchildren of
President-elect and Mrs. Franklin
D. Roosevelt were glorified today
in poetry.
Anna Eleanor and Curtis RooSe-
velt Dali, children of Governor
Roosevelt's daughter, and Sara
Delano and william Donner
Roosevelt, the offspring of the
governors son, Elliott, were made
the heroes and heroines of a
Christmas poem written by Maury
Madison, poet and composer Of
Bourbon county. Kentucky.
Reveals Pet Names
In the poem, Madison, who is
the compiler of "Bards of the
White House." a book containing
the verse and poetic prose writ
ten by numerous Presidents, their
wives and members Of their fami-
lies, reveals the pet names by
which the Roosevelt children, as
well as the colder folks" are
known in the intimate family
circle Of the new Chief Executive.
The poem was written after a
personal meeting with the Roose-
welt youngsters. Madison has had
frequent contact with the families
Of surviving Presidents. He has
set to music three poems written
by Mrs. Calvin Coolidge, as well
as the verses of Dolly Madison,
John Quincy Adams and Theodore
Roosevelt.
The Christmas poem follows:

EDGES REPORT
ON FRANCE
AWAITED .
Paul -BonCour's Call Upon En-
Voy Stirs Interest; But
Hoover Is Fishing
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES

BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
The door will be. kept hospit-
ably open to any foreign debtor
who desires to approach the
United States between now and
March 4, but for all practical pur
poses, any more in the interna.
tional situation has been sus
pended until Franklin D. RooSe-
velt moves into the White House
The policy of the Hoover Ad
miniStration in international af
fairs during the nine weeks of
life left to it is best exemplified
by the fact that President Hoover
has gone fishing.
Edge Report Awaited
Administration officials awaited
today a report from Ambassador
Walter E. Edge concerning his
conversation with Joseph Paul
Boncourt, the new French pre-.
mier, who paid a surprise call at
the embassy in Paris yesterday
and reopened debt discussions.
The understanding prevails here
that the French are desirous of
"curing" their default. before
March 4. provided a way can be
found to do so that will at the
same time save their face.
Confidential advices from Paris
indicate that the onus Of default
is weighing heavily upon con-
servative French. banking and
business circles, and that the new
government is being urged to find
some way of paying the overdue
$4,000 900 before the new Am eri-
can administration comes into
power.
The American policy, however,
is fairly we'll pegged. France
has been informed that the only
way to "cure" a default is by
paying.
No Promise Possible
The Hoover Administration is
in no position to promise any
thing, even though it were so
minded, which it isn't.
President Hoover made it clear
in his message to Congress and
in his correspondence with
President-elect Roosevelt that he
does not propose to negotiate"
for. tany8review of the debts with
those countries which, have vio-
lated their treaties with the
United States to the extent of
failing to make the payments due
December Is.
Undoubtedly a similar policy
will be adopted by the Roosevelt
administration.
Davis, Hoover Confer
Norman H. Davis, who has
been a special envoy for the
Hoover administration in Europe
for the past year, discussing
everything from debts to dis
armament, talked with President
Hoover for an hour yesterday be-
fore the latter left for the South
on his fishing trip.
Davis left Washington to con-
fer with PreSident-elect Roose-
veft. He remains apparently the
sole remaining link between the
old Administration and the new.
Davis has been something Of
q mystery man in international
affairs for the past year. A
Democrat, he was Undersecretary
of State in the latter days of the
Wilson administration, and he
has been frequently mentioned
as a possible Secretary Of State
in the Roosevelt administration.

Democratic in national election
Dunbar, who lived there, carried the
county by 2,619 votes, and repeated
in 1880 by 1853.
His removal from the fight this
year is expected to aid the Demo-
Gratis here and swing the county in
to that column, although by no
large majority.
The Democratic stronghold is
Dubois county, which always is
good for a majority of 5000 for that
party. Posey and Harrison counties
also come in this classification,
although by small majorities.
Most of the other counties go
Democratic, normally, by between
500 and 1900 votes, For instance
the Republicans carried Perry
county by only 2 votes in 1928 and
lost it by 555 votes in 1890
AS was pointed out in Thursdays
column, the Rowbottom- Watson
feud in the western half of the dis
trict is also expected to help.
Hoover and Watson, are also I'M
popular all through the district. All
ills are blamed upon the pair and
this is reflected in all discussions.
All in all, little possible can occur
between now and the election to
cause a sufficiently large overturn
which would toss this district to the
Republicans.

They walked through the sand

Under the trees there was green
grass and flowers. Shrubs grew in

XXTHAT is it like to be a patient
w in an asylum for the insane?
Are such places as brutally and
callously operated as we sometimes
hear?
Or are they, on the other hand,
run as scientifically and efficiently
as the present knowledge of mental
disease permits?
These are questions most of us
have pondered over idly, at one
time or another and now an
anonymous author, who signs him
self Inmate, Ward g." undertakes
to answer them in Behind the Door
of Delusion."
This is rather a remarkable book.
It's author is an inmate of a state
asylum, sent there at his own re-
quest in last effort to rid his brain
of a seemingly unconquerable crav-
ing for alcohol.
He tells here just what his life in
the asylum has been like.
First of all, ne eXplodeS- the leg
endS ABOUT brutality. ASylumS, he
reports, are conducted as humanely
as is possible and the inmates are,
on the whole, treated very decently.
However, he protests bitterly
against the way in which patients
only slightly deranged are forced
to associate with those who are
utter maniacs.
With grim humor, he tells how
the inmates have a saying that a
year in an asylum will make any
patient crazy.
An asylum inmate, he says, ur-
gently needing rest and peace, auto
matically is put under terrific
nervous strain.
. You'll find this book on asylum
life rather interesting. Published
by the Macmillan Co., it is priced

Democratic by 10000


NEW ALBANY, Sept. 17-If the
IN election were held next week
the Democratic state and national
tickets would carry the new Eighth
district by a majority Of approx
mately 10000.
This estimate is reached after q
tour through the nine counties COM
prising the district and careful
scrutiny of the situation, including
the various factional fights.
In studying the outlook, it is
necessary to remember that the
Eighth is new lineup and as unit
has not participated in any election
The reapportionment was made in
1881 and therefore the past perform
ance records of the individual coun-
ties must be studied.
If the present district alignment
had existed in 1923, Hoover would
have carried the Eighth by ma
iority of only SIG votes.
In 1880 the same counties ran up
total majority of 5000 votes for
the Democratic ticket-all figures
are based on the congressional vote.
n
In this last election, two Repub-
lican incumbent congressman,
Harry Rowbottom of Evansville and
James Dunbar, veteran of New AL
pany, were unSeated at time when
the greatest portion of the patron
age was in the hands of their party.
This year the Democrats are in
the saddle as far as jobs go-the
candidate for congress is John w.
Boehne Jr. of Evansville, who de-
feated Rowbottom.
Although not the type of con-
gresham who writes congratula-
tory letter every time the cat has
kittens, Boehne is well liked in his
district and shows marked ability
on the stump. He voted wet during
the last session and this won him
support in Dunbars old stronghold,
Floyd county.
Floyd county is the only strong
Republican territory in the district.
Although Vanderburg custom
arily has been placed in the Repub-
lican lineup, it is that no longer.
In 1928 Rowbottom carried the
county by 1925 majority. Two years
later Boehne won by 1926.
True, these are the figures in a
congressional race, but it must be
remembered that in 1923 the Re
publican ticket was helped by the
Hoover wave and this was reflected
in RoWbottom's vote.
n
Both parties are torn by internal
dissension in Vanderburg. Charles
B. Enlow, Watson spokesman and
Evansville banker, and his aid, Phil
lip Gould, former county chairman,
are disliked heartily by the rank
and file, and there are almost as
many factions as there are precinct
committeeman.
The Democrats are divided three
ways, but are displaying surprising
solidarity.
Floyd county almost never goes

Dudley burst out, unable to control
himself any longer.
I'm just not sure" Dona's voice
was small and faltering. "Oh, bud
if only knew! Does any one ever
know?"
You're just worried, dear. I'll
make it my full-time job to make
you love me-" Unable to fight back
the surge Of emotion that swep;
over him, he caught her in his
arms.
Then Dona remembered Seth
Doby's words, "Swede Delo means
to get his man this time" With
an effort she arose. Instantly he
was beside her and had captured
both her hands.
You must marry me, darling !!
His voice was husky.
Dona tilted her face upward and
her cheeks shone white and free
from color. Quietly she answered
L will marry you tonight. Dud.'

was not sure. Her head was a whirl
of racing thoughts.
The plan was almost sure to work.
but could she do it? Did she love
Dudley Winters? Many times she
had thought she did and again she
was not sure. It was certain that
she did not dislike him, but could
they be happy together?
She leaned against his shoulder
in panic of fear, as her thoughts
slipped back to lean, dark haired
youth with freckled nose and a
hooking half-smile. The picture
irritated her and she pressed closer
to Dudley.
Why couldn't she forget Stanley
Black? More than likely, he long
since had forgotten her.
1T isn't as if you were not going
to do it anyway dear. I love you

NUDLEY had been reconnoiter-
H. ing and had found out all
about Seth Doby's hotel and the
attached scattering of houses and
log cabins.
He returned to Dona, who was
sitting on the worn steps looking
out into the white moonlight. Dud
had discovered one thing that elat-
ed him because it fitted the plan
he had in mind.
Il have sailed forth and return
with news" he greeted Dona.
What news?"
1T is short twenty miles from
the spot where you sit to Three
Rivers" Dudley paused accusingly.
The rest Of the way is mountain
road. You don't know log roads, so
you won't understand until tomor-

Dona's cheek and firm little chin
were outlined in the moonlight and
Dudley felt stabbing thrill run
through him as he bent over her.
1T would have been wonderful by
moonlight" he urged.
I was tired and I didn't want 10
tackle Dad till was rested" Dona
refused to tell the real reason why
she had put up with Seth Dolby.
The truth was she had expected
help from the old rancher, help that
he had refused politely. Now she
wished she had gone on, for she
knew Seth would not change his
simple refusal.
Dudley figured he had made a
point and hurried on. There are
hundreds of horses by actual count
and six mud huts."
