Borah's Speech
Can Be Peddled.

The real vets wanted a
straightforward, explicit, un-
equivocal declaration for
repeal; Mills, representing
Mr.. Hoover, who wanted
nothing of the sort, forced
something quite different on
t h convention. 7 h e evil
dent hope was that the vets
would hail it as a wet plank
and the drys as a dry plank.
Thus we were to have the
same sort of interminabIe
debate on Interpretation that
always follows Mr.. Hoover s
own declarations. This
would have permitted the
policy Of 1928-a blowing
hot and cold, a playing fast
and loose.
But the adoption Of the
plank was met with general
ridicule and denunciation
from the foes Of prohibition.
And now Borah, a pro-
nounced dry, opposed to re-
peal, comes forward with a
denunciation of the plank as
a wet repeal plank.
This speech of Borah's
can be peddled about in
New York, Illinois, Massa-
chusetts and New Jersey as
proof that the Republicans
have put on the armor for
repeal.
Could anything better
serve the purpose of decep-
tion and double dealing?
We exonerate Borah of
any such intention, but we
can see some redeeming
features in the Borah speech
from the viewpoint of the
douhle-dealerS.

Three-Minute Journeys

Street is the old Butter Cross
erected in the fifteenth CEN
tury, quite modern for Win
chester, really. Hard by the
Cross is a cobbled side street,
and this takes us on to an elm
lined stroll beneath the leafy
trees, an ideal approach to the
lonrest medieval church in
Europe, Winchester'S great ca
thedral.
Winchester Cathedral has
strange and Serried history, re-
vealed by excavations and old
records. On its site there once
stoc d a delicately beautiful tenn
pie to Apollo, built by the
Romans. Then came the Danes,
who sacked the temple and built
instead a house to their own
gods, exemplified by Thor, the
god of thunder.
En Historic Place
Then came the Saxons,- and
as their later kings were Chris
tians, pagan shrines were dedi-
Gated to Christian worship. The
city was called Witanceaster,
and within it's walls was born
Alfred the Great, who in his
youth was tutored by the good
Swith:n, first bishop of the new
cathedral and known to us as
st. Swithin. 1t was Alfred who
brought fame to his native city,
making it England's capital
and a center of learning.
And after the Norman inva-
sion, William the Conqueror
made it his co-capital with
London and had his coronation
held there.
The Washington times., 1932-06-25

THERE is no member of
= the. Senate or person in
public life for whose intel
lect and eloquence | have a
higher regard than Senator
Borah s. He is a rigid in
dividualist, i'm p ossible to
work in harness. This makes
him a trial and torment to
party managers and strate-
gists; often a puzzle to the
people; and no public man
could long sustain himself
with such utter independence
without having the unique
position Of Borah in the
devotion of his constituency.
His notable speech in the
Senate, in which some think
he has bolted his party be-
cause of it's confusing plank
on prohibition, has the ap-
pearance Of a crossing of
the Rubicon. He says in an
interview that he will not
support Mr.. Hoover on the
platform. That smacks of a
bolt.
But we are not at all sure
about it.
In a sense Borah has con-
tributed nightly to the
strategy Of tn e cunning
politicians who framed the
plank to catch 'em coming
and going. AS we suggested
in these columns during the
convention, the evident pur-
pose Of the strategists was
to so frame a declaration
on prohibition that it could
be called "dry" in dry ter
ritory and "wet" in wet
territory.
How excellently Borah s
speech works in with this
plan.
The Washington times., 1932-06-25
Our Complaint
Against Borah

And that is our complaint
against Borah. He knows all
this, evidently feels all this;
and we should have felt he
had rendered a greater SER
vice had he not left the
platform generally "aside. "
In heavens name, why leave
that phase aside? That is
the phase that threatens our
political and social institu-
tions. Is it possible that he
thinks the ruination of the
farms, the peril to business
institutions, the unemploy-
ment Of millions, the slow
starvation of American chill
dren are of less Importance
than the question of whether
a man shall drink a glass Of
beer or not?
We know that he is not
unmindful Of this phase of
the crisis; but we are I'M
able to understand why he
puts all this aside"
The people are not going
to put it aside. This he
sees and says
1T is clear to me that the
Republican campaign will not
be fought around the singu-
lar document which came
from the convention. Long
before the strenuous October i.
days arrive the realities of
the campaign the in
creasing demands Of the sit
uation will cause this plat
form to be showed aside as
wholly inadequate and
wholly unresponsive to the
necessities and demands of
the people"
And that is true. The
people will determine the
course of this campaign.
And the fight will revolve
around the real issues.

Will MIR. Borah
Bolt?


This makes all the more
imperative an honest, frank,
straightforward interpreta-
tion of. the plank by Mr..
Hoover in his speech of ac-
ceptance. He cannot slur it
over now. Nor use weasel
words. Nor pussyfoot.
Thus Borah has done one
thing that may prove en-
barrassing to Mr.. Hoover,
who has a constitutional an
tipathy to plain, unmistak-
able speech.
Will Mr.. Borah bolt? He
never has. This is not the
first time he has violently
disagreed with party poll
cies, but invariably he lines
up. We never have been
able to understand his ar
dent championship Of Hoover
against Smith four years
ago. Fundamentally, and

helpless, as rebellious, 30 years
ago, looking down at a tiny oaEy
in her arms. Such a tiny body!
Such a shining dream!
And now to have found that
life must become. for both of
them, a long. slow lesson in
patience and in pain.
A 19-year-old girl; a broken
dream; an agony that seemed
beyond bearing.
And then, to her frantic Sob
bing, an old voice saying
gently: Don't be too desper-
ate, child. Those also serve
whossonly stand and watt"
What did he mean? What
sort of an answer was that,
when everything had gone
wrong?
And so the old man told the
girl of Milton. What life must
have meant to him, that great
poet, seeing his visions of
heaven and hell, writing them
down in laundering words that
shook the world!
Our little dreams, our small
ambitions, how small they
seem besides a vision such as
his. Often he must have felt
he ruled that world he shook;
was master of all heavens and
all hells. A proud, young,
ruthless man, striding on in
the Sp1endor of his dreams!
Crumbled Dreams
And then, suddenly, the splen-
dor was dimmed and the dream
had crumbled. Milton crouched
in darkness. Milton had gone
blind.
Blind! Never more to glimpse
the loveliness of dawn: the mys-
terry of the stars! Never more
to behold that dark, bright
drama of life that leaped, to his
reading, from the faces of men!
Never more to see words form
ing beneath his fingers!
Blind! Oh, the awful de-
spair, the frantic bitterness,
breaking out in a great cry!
Trembling, his daughter wrote
the words, not daring to look at
that conVulSed face:
"When T consider how my light
is spent,
Ere half my days, in this dark
world and wide,
And that one Talent which is
death to hide.
Lodg'd with me useless"
Back and forth, back and
forth, he walked in his dark
ness, hammering against the
darkness with terrible, inco-
herent words.
Then gradually he slowed.
The hoarse, sobbing voice grew
gentle. The working face grew
still, Slowly the light that had
forsaken Milton's eyes dawned
in his heart, and he whis-
pered, in wonder, in wisdom
and peace:
God doth not need
''Either mans work or his
own gifts.
THEY ALSO SERVE WHO
ONLY STAND AND
WATT"
Dreams gone glimmering?
Life standing still? Don't lose
heart, my dear. Hope on. and
still be proud. The cripple,
sometimes, wins the grimmest
fight. The bright star shines
within the darkest night.

Winchester-A Bit Of Old
England

England
What a pity it is that so
many visitors in Europe rush
from one given point to an
other, never stopping to dis
cover that there may be Won
derful places to see en- route.
For instance, passengers on
transatlantic liners leaving the
ship at Southampton hurry to
the waiting boat train and are
whirled to London, never realiz-
ing what lovely spots there are
within easy reach of the har-
Dor.
And so, when next you are
in England and you wish to get
off the beaten track and trans
port yourself back in the
Storied past, we suggest that
you take a local train out Of
Southampton or hire a car and
make the brief journey to
ancient Winchester, ancient by
all standards, for it is said to
have existed as a large village
for 1000 years before the
Christian era.
An Ancient Town
Winchester is quaint, restful,
beautiful. When one steps out
of the little railroad station
one follows foot path through
velvety green fields and enters
the town through the portals
of the west gate. And then one
is in the old High Street, lined
with half-timbered mansions,
with overhanging gables; cob
bled courtyards and old Nor
man gateways.
And at the end Of the High

on most social and economic
issues, he was more in ac-
cord with Smith. Was pro-
hibition the determining fac
tor in his action? 1t is said
that he had assurances from
Mr.. Hoover regarding farm
relief that were lightly re-
pudiated after the election.
There scarcely is a single
policy Of the Administra-
tion that can justify Borah's
support of Hoover in this
campaign. But we shall see
what we shall see.
One paragraph in his
speech bears out everything
that we said in these
columns from Chicago:
There were about three
hundred and some-odd Fed
eral officials in the conven-
tion, and many of those
must be counted as having
voted as they did, not be-
cause of their convictions,
but because of what they
deemed political expedi-
ency."
That is true; and since
straight repeal was defeated
by less than three hundred
votes, we have a verification
Of our contention that Fed
eral job holders, under the
lash of Ogden Mills, forced
the equivocal plank into
the platform.

Another Phase
Of His Speech

But we are more inter
ested in another phase of
Borah's brilliant speech.
Thus he said:
Without questioning any
body's, sincerity or chal-
lenging anybody's patriot
ism or stopping to analyze
the platform itself, I choose
to leave aside a document
which with the exception of
one plank fell dead at the
feet of tn. American people,
eliciting scarcely a favor
able comment from the
party press, and arousing
not the slightest concern or
attention from the people
generally.
Here we are, in the midst
Of the most serious crisis in
history, with millions ruined,
millions jobless, millions
hungry, millions bankrupt;
with business prostrate;
with financial institutions in
danger and yet no one would
suspect from anything ut
tered in the convention or
written into the platform
that these are other than
normal times.
The Washington times., 1932-06-25

Mr.. Raven got. the chimpan-
zee in Africa when she was a
baby weighing only ten pounds,
and possessing a very anxious
expression. The pictures are
reproduced from photographs
with which Mr.. Raven illus
trates a most interesting article
called "Meshie, the Child of
Chimpanzee. A creature of the
African jungle emigrates to
America"
We are all interested in
this curious little jungle crea-
ture, adapting itself readily to
human companionship and en-
joying it.
Science tells us, we may be-
1ieve it or not, that we are re-
lated to these curious creatures.
Among the great apes, of
which there are three, biggest
of all is the gorilla, next the
orang-outang, and third the
chimpanzee that you see here.
Darwin never said that we
descended from monkeys, but
that we came from some other
animal closely related to the
monkey. The poor monkey
stayed where he was, never
improving, never inventing
anything. We, more fortunate
creatures, kept on through

For Granted

A well-known motion picture direc-
tor tells this joke on himself: For
some time he had been parking his
car in a service station near one of
the Hollywood studios. One morning
he found dilapidated old Ford in
his stall. Thinking the owner had
made a mistake, he parked near by.
Next morning the car was again in
the directors stall. Penning note
he fastened it to the car and again
found another place.
The third morning his stall was
empty but new note read: ''I'm very
sorry | usurped your place, but | saw
one of your pictures last week and |
thought you weren't working here any
more"
