Washington.-Pow groups in the democratic party are bring ing conflicting pressure to bear on Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, the presidential nominee, as he considers the possible removal of Mayor Jimmy Walker of New York City.
 Conservative politicians in east ern states urge the governor not to remove the mayor, According to reports here, whereas many lead CTS from the south and west, who for want of a better name may be described as liberals, tell him that his only course is to fire little Jim- my.
 It is not suggested that politics, rather than the merits of the case, will sway Roosevelt. Yet it is curious fact that the merits of the case usually are obscured as the politicians debate the political con- sequences of the two courses which are open to him. The politicians, it is true, will argue that Jimmy does or does not deserve to be booted out on the basis of the evidence, but 1t would be difficult to find one who displays any actual concern over that point.
 East Against Custer
 The chances of Jimmy's re- movaI seem very bright, but the politicians on both sides of the issue will argue up to the last moment.
 Opposition to the removal, it is said, comes from eastern states where politicians, including some of the Tammany men, largely were opposed to Roosevelt's nom- ination. The argument from those quarters Is that the party is ex- tremely unlikely to win the elec- ton without carrying New York state, that Roosevelt must carry New York City in order to carry the state and that he can't carry the city if he cans it's popular mayor and offends large section of Tammany at the same time.
 It is contended further that Judge Samuel Seabury and his in- vestigators never really "got any, thing on'' Jimmy, that nothing of a criminal nature has been proved against him, that it never was de- monstrated that a specific individ- ual gave Walker a specific gift to obtain a special favor and that the evidence is not so strong that his removal would not be charged up to politics.
 "You must be great enough to do the unpopular thing" Roose- welt is said to have been told in reference to the probable national reaction.

then I accepted the statement
with reservations! Goodness, per
Sc, held no appeal for me. All
my natural inclinations were OBJ
viously evil. The things I wanted
most to do were invariably the
bad things. And being bad"
was usually a delightful per-
formance-provided one wasn't
found out. Then why should
being good make me happy?
But Nom and Dad assured me
that it would. If I would be a
good girl, everybody would love
me; nobody would get mad at
me, and would get all the nice
things I wanted.
Wanted Nice Things
Well, I certainly wanted a lot
of nice things; and it would un-
doubtedly be a relief not to have
people mad at me. So, reluc-
tantly, I decided to give good
ness a chance; and I've been CIV
ing it chance ever since. But,
after nearly so years of noble
experiment, I'm bound to say
that I have never yet really en-
joyed goodness.
Righteousness still sounds
wonderful. It makes great sales
talks. But I regret to state that,

Brazen Attempt
To Assume Credit

Mr.. Hoover s policy of mis-
representations for the de-
ception of the public is con
tinued in his Cleveland
speech. 1t is impossible to
read with patience, and with
out a certain feeling of con-
tempt, Mr.. Hoover rather
brazen attempt to take the
credit for relief measures he
had opposed for three years,
that originated in every in
stance with Democrats, and
were forced upon him by
public Indignation.
1t takes "guts" for Mr..
Hoover to ignore Senator
Wagner, and, having fought
his measures stubbornly and
bitterly for more than two
years, to take to himself the
credit of their passage.
The Washington times., 1932-10-20

in my case, none of them have
come true.
Goodness has never been
either a comfortable or easy
state for me. To the contrary, I
have experienced the most acute
discomfort, irritation, loneliness,
humiliation and downright risk
in the process of being good.
Nor has goodness made me
popular. At times there has
been some faint applause. But
when I've really worked hardest
at the job, when I have been
definitely and defiantly brave
and honest and noble, I have
invariably found myself just
about as popular as dose of
hives. No one has approved Of
me. No one has understood
me. Instead, everyone has been
mad at me and blamed me for
making a general nuisance OF
myself.
"Why on earth," my exasper-
ated friends have cried, cant
she act regular and let well
enough alone? Why does she
have to stir up such a fuss
about being good, just when
everything was sitting pretty?"
Stirs Up a Fuss
For, of course, real, dynamic
goodness does stir up a fuss.
That was one thing my godly
elders had omitted to mention.
They had pictured goodness as
passive, peaceful state; but 1t
practically never is. Real, two
fisted goodness is always active,
always opposed to the SNUG
laziness, cowardice. stupidity
and selfishness upon which we
base most of our respectablllty.
And truly good people are
nearly always a pain in the
neck.
that's why, despite pious
axioms, you WON'T be happy II
you're good. And neither Will
anyone who knows you!
And yet, in spite Of these
discouraging discoveries, I've
kept on trying to be good, for,
despite its discomfort, there's
something about goodness that
makes it worth while. 1t may
raise Cain with the status quo.
but it also does wonders for
your pride.
BEING GOOD ISN'T COM
PORTABLE OR EASY-BUT
IS THE PROUDFST CON-
DITION I KNOW. IT COSTS
PLENTY-BUT 1T IS ALWAYS
WORTH ALL 1T COSTS, FOR
IT'S A MAN-SIzE JOB, AND
IF YOU CAN PUT TT OVER
YOU'RE GOING SOME!
So, in way, Nom and Dad
were right, after all. Good
ness does pays And I reckon
I'll keep on experimenting with
it, if my strength holds out.
And perhops some day I'll
really get to like it. But in
the meantime
Darn it. I still like to be
bad!
