There is no doubt that she is the

She is a tremendous personality.
Yes, she still sits on the top of a

Robert Raines also received an

he sang "Old Man River"

Savings Insurance

Much genuine and intelligent effort IS being made to relieve the national credit situation and as one important step in that direction. to stop the boarding of money. The people are to be persuaded to take their cash out of its hiding places and put it into
 the banks again. thereby getting 1t into useful circulation and increasing its effec- tiveness in manifold ways. It is doubtful. though. whether this end can be fully achieved. in such times as the present. with out more complete assurance than is possi- ble in most savings institutions under the present system. A demand is growing for some kind of savings insurance which will guarantee 100 per cent protection to the peoples savings.
 Says Dr Max Winkler, in an article writ ten for the North American Newspaper Alliance: If the Reconstruction Finance Corporation could see its way to stating in definite, unambiguous terms that protection would be afforded to depositors, it would accomplish more than it does by theorizing Something of more tangible nature IS needed" It is a good time to discuss this question of whether the insurance of bank deposits is practical, and if SO, how it could be accomplished.

Agile MT Baker

It remained for Newton D. Baker of Ohio to give the perfect example of how presidential candidate should conduct him. self when being interviewed upon the sub- feet of his candidacy. Home from a three weeks trip to Mexico Mir Baker was be- sieged by reporters as soon as he landed m New York. His most definite statement was that he was not candidate for nomi- nation. Often in the last few months has Mir Baker been forced to issue similar state ments. Still his name heads the list of dark horses" in the democratic ranks.
 It may be recalled that just as Mir Baker sailed for Mexico he stated in no uncertain tones that the United States should not seek admission to the League of Nations just at present. He further remarked that he would not attempt to force entrance upon this nation as long as it showed antagonsm to- wards the League. His about-faoe maneu- yer was duplicated in short order by Gov ernor Roosevelt. who like Mr Baker. was for years loyal member of the Wilson group which has continued its fervor by frequent demands for League participation.
 It struck us. though, that Mir Baker did not XII HIS CIldHSeS Ol DSiHS Whsh he said, The archaeological wonders of Mexico are thrilling. Many of the discov cries are relatively recent and the search is still going on So far they have only scratched the surface and there is still much to be learned about prehistoric Mexico. Evidently the inquiring political reporters realize that there is still much to be dis covered about the astute Mir Baker. Perhaps he is emulating Mir Smith and will reveal himself in Chicago next June when the dele gates have settled to the serious task of naming their candidates.
 At any rate Mir Baker was not visbly concerned in stating that This has just been a winter vacation in the midst of busy law practice. wanted to see Mexico as l had never visited that country before and l found it very interesting.

The New Appointee

President Hoover has certainly avoided all pitfalls in naming to the United States Supreme Court Benjamin Nathan CardoZo. The prominent New York state jurist is without doubt outstanding in his legal at- tainments That the Senate will quickly approve of Judge Cardozo is certain. It cannot help but do SO. despite the fact that New York state is already represented upon the Supreme Court bench by Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes and Associate Justice Harlan Flske Stone.
 While the president was being beseeehed to name Oliver Wendell Holmes successor from the West or South he evidently chose to disregard geographical considerations and concentrate merely upon qualifications. On this score there can be no objection to Judge Cardozo. It was recognized immediately when there came the vacancy in the Supreme Court that the New York ranking justice was prominently fitted for the post But many doubted that the president would ever name him.
 We feel sure that the nation will hail the appointment as probably the best that Pres- ident Hoover has made in his term of office. Nomination of Chief Justice Hughes follow ing the death of the late William Howard Taft was SO logical that it required no ef~ fort to make it. It was Mir Hoover's first nomination to the Supreme Court and was followed quickly by one which did not meet with such hearty response in the Senate. We don't anticipate any such reception for the name of Benjamin Nathan Cardozo. The new appontee is 6l years of age and of Portugese se-Jewish descent. He. like the retired justice. Oliver Wendell Holmes, be- longs to the progressive side of the, court where he will align himself with Hughes. Stone, and Brandeis He should constitute an admirable addition to this highest tri- bunal in our land. We anticipate his in- fluence upon his fellow members will be for the benefit of the individual.

Posthunous Work

'.Jobn Hanson - Our First President has just been published. Offhand this an- nouncement might not attract more than passing attention. However. Connecticut people should be sufficiently interested to investigate as the author is the late seymour Wemyss Smith who for some years was writer on the Hartford Courant. MT Smith was a. newspaperman whose sphere was both wide and varied. We don't doubt that in his short career he covered all helds in which an active journalist might be con- cerned. His sudden death fortunately did not prevent publication of perhaps the one great work of his life. namely. the life Of John Hanson referred to above.
 We don't suppose more than scattering of people connect the name. John Hanson. with any particular period of our American history. However. Smith did more than that. Always interested in the history of ,he Revolutionary War he made Hanson his life work. He devoted the last years of his life to ferreting out the facts of Han- son with which the average run of histories was not concerned. He did not approach his task with the idea of upsetting any Of
 our favorite historical facts or legends. lie did not attempt to disprove the greatness of Washington nor to toss him off the pedestal he will always occupy. But he did hope that his book would at this late date earn for John Hanson the respect and honor that we Americans owe our forefathers who established this great nation in which we live.
 s. soIt Hanson - Our First President will do all that its author hoped it would and that the association for the recognition of Hanson will be greatly benefited. As we said when we read of Mir Smiths death. we say again. "More's the pity the author could not live to realize whether or not his work would be we'll received" Commenting upon the publication the New York Times finds that John Hanson Ted the fight for the eesslon to the United States by the several states Of lands which they claimed outside of their borders. holding that they should be the common property of the United States. -. To have had a major part in this accom- plishment is Hanson's chief title to re- membrance. His election as President was the immediate recognition of that service to the Union. -
 Of course, he was not President in the manner and form as are our present execu- tives. He was merely the presiding officer of the then Congress. Washington still re- mains our first president under the present form of government. just as John Hancock was first president of the Continental Con- gress. Hanson deserves more recognition than he ever received It isn't too late to accord him it. We sincerely hope that this posthumous book will be the means of se- curing full measure of it for the First President of the United State in Congress assembled, elected in 178l.

Those who have visited Atlantic City in their honeymoon or vacation days will be interested to learn that land mark at this famous resort was destroyed by fire. The Steepleckase Amusement pier burned with an estimated loss of half million dollars. Fortunately the wind was offshore at the time and thus many structures near the pier were saved from destruction. The pier is adjacent to the Strand and Haddon Hall hotels. The pier was built in 1892 and at the time of the fire was closed. The man. agement had planned to reopen it on Wash- ington's Birthday.
