One of the foremost joys Of
travel is to come across some
thing different" from anything
at home. That's only one of the
reasons so many people go to
Bermuda-to enjoy place free
from automobiles, and to ride
bicycles, instead, along the
smooth coral roads.
But now when we go to these
delectable islands we can board
a train-a toy train-and ride
from the port of st. George all
the way to Hamilton, an impoS-
ing distance of % miles!
It hasn't been easy to build
that, brief toy railway. In the
first place, the islanders didn't
want anything to disturb their
serene islands, and they were
amazed when the Colonial Par
lament passed a bill authoriz-
ing an English company to
build the railway. 1t has taken
eight years to complete the
work, which has cost far more
than the estimate.
All the materials and supplies
for it's construction we're
brought from Great Britain,
and the labor was most diff
cult to handle for the islanders
were unfriendly to the project,
but ultimately it was finished.
The train glides along Front
Street in Hamilton at the rate
of six miles an hour, and tour.

You might, you are told, trust

Much that we are taught as

that belief that a mans secret

Can Expect Nothing
From Hoover Regime

Senator Moses, author of
that Characterization of the
Western Senators as "sons
of the wild jackass," tries
to blot out Roosevelt's Co.
lumbus program and speech
by calling him "the Boy
Scout. " This is not very
impressive.
He follows other Admin
istration speakers like Mr..
Smell insisting that there is
nothing government can do
to protect the investing pub
lie against practices that are
treated as criminal in other
nations; and thereby serves
notice that nothing can be
expected from Mr.. Hoover.
And he reaches the climax
of effrontery in saying nice
things about Al Smith;
effrontery, for this reason:
when many of us were fight
ing for Al Smith s election
four years ago, Senator
Moses was caught red
handed in playing his part
in the under cover campaign
to mobilize the lowest of
prejudices against this same
AL Smith. We remember so
well, for we discussed it
editorially at the time.
Having delivered himself
of this statesman-like TRADE,
Moses hurried to the mil
iOnare colony at Newport
to be lionized as the hero Of
the phrase sons of the
wild jackass. )"

THE campaign has pro-
l. gressed sufficiently to
show that, so far as the
Hoover high command is
concerned, it is to be fought
on a very low level. This
low level fighting appears
to be inseparable from Mr..
Hoover idea of politics in
a democracy. America
reached it's very lowest level
in campaigns four years
ago. Mr.. Hoover's cam
paign was fought with mis-
representations, appeals to
racial and religious preju-
dices, with innuendos, and
the whispering of the most
scandalous falsehoods ever
set afloat since the estab-
lishment of the Republic.
Happily for the purposes Of
history, the almost incredi-
BILE pamphlets and cartoons
sent out, reeking with the
basest falsehoods and the
most unthinkable personal
abuse of AL Smith, have
been carefully preserved and
are placed where they will
be available to the historian
of tomorrow.
The character of that
campaign, wicked as it was,
was known to Mr.. Hoover
who, historically, must bear
heavy responsibility for
giving it his sanction.
But it worked!
1t probably did more 10
discredit the processes of de-
mocracy in elections than
anything we have ever
known-but it worked.
Now we are entering
upon another campaign of
Mr.. Hoover which is 60
ing to be pitched upon the
same low level. Perhaps it
also may work. 1t depends
on whether the electorate is
capable Of increasing its in
telligence with experience.

Whispering Campaign
Again in Action

The whispering campaign
is again in full swing. 1t is
part of the strategy of the
same Best Minds that came
in with Mr.. Harding. 1t is
aimed at both Mr.. Roosevelt
and Mr.. Garner. And along
with this we find in the
Hoover speakers in the field
a determination, if possible,
to divert attention from the
real vital issues of the cam
paign by injecting frivolities,
by attacks on men and meas
ures that are shamelessly
misrepresented, by appealing
again to prejudice. Having
