Short Platforms
Are Demanded

That platform will be def
nitely determined by the
convention. But leaders in
both parties are now en-
gagged in the preparation Of
platforms that will be urged
on the Resolutions Commit
tee. Senator CordelI Hull
is now at work with others
in the preparation of tenta-
tive drafts. We are not
afraid of his position on
Grundyism. If the Demo-
Gratis in convention compro-
mise with Grundyism and
throw that issue away, it
will compromise it's chance
of victory, aside from max
ing itself the laughingstock
of the country.
Inc only real problem for
the Republican Convention
will be that Of prohibition,
and James R. Garfield is
said to be directing the
movement to find the phrases
sufficiently deceptive to
satisfy both the vets and
the drys.
Any declaration that will
accomplish that feat will be
worthy of 2 Talleyrand-and
of the damnation of all hon.
est men. There can be no
blowing hot and cold on
that.
At this juncture every
Democratic aspirant to the
presidency has made his po-
sition on prohibition plain
as possible; but Mr.. Hoover
is still playing both ends
against the middle. He will
continue to do so until after
the convention speaks; and
however it speaks he will
acquiesce - but silently.
Such is the caliber of his
leadership; and it is not the
leadership of courage and
forthrightness demanded of
these times.

NTOST of the recent revo-
IVA lutionary movements in
South America have been
disturbing because of the
mystery of the motive and
our ignorance of the char
acters of the revOlutionists.
We are not in the least wor-
ried lest the Chilean revo-
luton, described as social
istic," is going to result in
the wreckage of organized
society there. We happen
to know Carlos Davila, the
head of the successful revo-
lutionary movement.
A man of medium height
and polished manner, with
an expression denoting in
telligence plus a sense of
humor, he impressed me as
more conservative than radi-
cal. Suave, interesting,
friendly, he has charm to a
marked degree. At the time
we knew him, he was the
ambassador to this country;
but he was interesting to
me because he was one of
the foremost journalists of
Chile, the directing genius
of the oldest and most i'm
portant paper in Santiago
at a very early age. He had
read intimately in American
history, exploring the by
paths as well as the high
roads with the curiosity Of a
journalist. Socially, he would
fit into any drawing room in
any Old world capital. In
short, we liked him immense
ly. But had we been told
four years ago that he would
return to his country to or
ganize and lead and dOmi-
nate a revolution we should
have thought it absurd. And
that is what he has done.
He is friendly to the
United States; he is not Of
the destructive, but of the
constructive type; and there
is no occasion for alarm
here because of the success,
of his revolution.

Don't be the sort that takes

On the other hand, don't be in
such a hurry to return a kind
ness that you make the one who
bestowS a courtesy sorry that
the idea was carried out.
You can be too punctiliouS in
returning in kind, but that is far
better than to be the digger
sort, always eager to accept and
never ready to reciprocate.
It takes much of the beauty
out of friendship to be always
measuring what someone desires
from you by what they do for
you in particular cases.

life. Study the meaning OF
pain.
Why has this thing happened
to you? It has happened to you
because you are human being.
AS a human being you are
part If a great show. 1t is not
a perfect show, yet. Anything
but! 1t is performed by crea-
lures who are still bungling
amateurs.
A little while ago they were
still Savages, with little more
intelligence or love in them
than the other brutes. And
now they call themselves men,
but they Lave not yet learned
how to live with each other as
men. They have not yet
learned to live with themselves.
Beneath their seemingly civil
lied exteriors, they are still
ignorant, frightened, angry and
bewildered.
All uman pain, all your per-
sonal pain, comes from that
ignorance and fear; and it will
continue to come until men
grow up and free themselves,
which will probably be a long,
long time!
FOR MEN MUST LEARN
HOW TO LIVE BY LIVING.
THEY MUST MAKE THEIR
OWN DECISIONS, PAY FOR
THEIR OWN MISTAKES, FOR
THEY ARE FREE WILL
AGENTS
Free will. That is the hardest
thing about life. But it is also
the proudest thing about life.
If we were puppets with Fate
pulling our strings, We would
probably be quite comfortable.
But we are not puppets. We
are men! And we make our
own world by the exercise of our
own wills.
The Big Reason
Why do unpleasant things
happen to you? That is why.
Because you are alive. Because
you are part of a great perform
ance in which you and billions
of other amateurs are trying D
learn how to live. And be.
cause you have the perilous but
proud privilege of free will.
Try to think of all this when
ever you feel grieved or angry
at your personal disaster. Try
to see life in this way. 1t is the
true and inspiring way to see
life; to see yourself. 1T is THE
HEALING WAY. It is the only
way by which you can have
peace.
The only way of proving to
yourself that life is always
worth while, always worth all
it costs.
And remember something
else. .....
If you are being penalized
for the other fellows stupidity,
you are also profiting by his
cleverness and goodness. If you
have inherited ugliness and
pain, you also have inherited
beauty and power and joy.
Long ago a certain Wise One
said these words
"ONE SOWETH AND AN
OTHER REAPETH. OTHERS
LABORED AND YE ARE EN-
TERED INTO THEIR LA
BORIS"

deserved, NEITHER IS YOUR
GOOD LUCK!

AT THE MOVIES
AT THE PARAMOUNT


Norma Shearer and Robert Mont
gomery are the co-stars of Metro
Goldwyn-Mayer's DANGEROUSLY anus
ing adaptation Of Noel Coward's cele-
brated New York stage success, "Pri-
vate Lives" coming on Monday to the
Paramount Theatre.
In Private Lives you find these
two ingratiating players excellently
J cast as an ex-married couple who, on
their second respective homogeneous
with'a new husband and q new wife,
come face to face with each other
at the same hotel. Naturally enough.
Bob and Norma are thrown into open
panic. Each tries to prevail upon his
and her new partner that escape to
Paris is the only way out. But Nor
mas husband refuses to bulge, and
Bob's wife insists on remaining Just
where she Is. So Norma and Bob get
together to talk 1t over and discover
during their talk that they are still
very much in love-with each other!
After their first moment of surprise
these two, very solemnly, decide to run
away to Paris on their" second
honeymoon. And they do, leaving a
brand new husband and a brand new
wife in the lurch.
There's the hilarious situation de-
veloped with keen hunor in Private
Lives"
Private Lives was vigorously and
fmaginatively directed by Sidney
Franklin.
