Al Smith Is Reason
THE hearing came about o

TINE hearing came about on &C
Il count of a column I wrote con-
corning Al Smith at the Democratic
convention in Chicago. 1t was rather
a fervent piece about Al, and
Upset group complained that no
Socialist should express enthusiasm
for a capitalistic politician.
My defense was that there was no
chance of the convention choosing
a Socialist in any case and that I
had right to prefer one Democrat
to another. I also mentioned the
fact that was a newspaper man.
But this time my sin was speaking
at meetings held under Communist
auspices. And I did it twice. Be-
fore the second offense julius Ger
Der, the executive secretary. wrote
me, politely saying that if I went
to the meeting it would cause a
breach between me and the party
and that one comrade already had
been brought up on charges for a
similar offenSe.
Now, I can take a hint, but it
seemed to me that I was in honor
bound to go and keep my promise
to speak. Indeed, I don't see how
I ever could be happy or even mildly
content if somebody had the power
to tell me where was not to speak.
I hate speaking, anyhow, so 1 don't
want anybody to stop me.
And I was additionally nettled by
the fact that Julius Gerber, in
pointing out the Communist COM
plexion of the gathering, added,
They don't think any better of you
today than they did three months
ago." Honestly, Julius, I didn't go
in the hope that I might make the
Communists love me.

8. The patient stands facing the
wall with the toes twenty-eight
inches from it. The toes are placed
together and the heels as far apart
as possible.
With the hands placed against
the wall and the heels maintained
on the floor, the entire rigid body is
allowed to fall forward as far as
possible by bending the elbows, and
to remain in this position a few
seconds before returning to the
starting position. This is done in
two counts, about ten times.

May Taxpayer of April "a" COM
ment on the rabid outburst that
his straightforward statement of
facts elected? How many letters
commencing my attitude we're re-
ceived and suppressed?
The reference to "unwashed'
seems to have touched a sore spot.
Surely, the most fervent red will
concede that a dirty neck is the Of
fetal badge of the unthrifty.
Threats of revolution and Boil
shevik brutality are in keeping with
the desires of those who think it
easier to con1scate the possessions
of those who have been wise than to
accumulate for themselves. Yet the
right to hold property inviolate is
written into the United States Con-
stitution, and nearly ever law on
the statute books is designed to pro-
tect that right.
If the masses, washed or I'M
washed, seek to violate that Con-
Stitution, let them beware.
Think you, reds, that a quarter
million young men enlisted in semi
military organization, bound by the
same oath the soldier takes, can not
leave reforestation long enough to
quell any outbreak?
Think you. radicals, that thirty
pieces of silver would not buy your
leaders? 1t always has.
Would any of the insolent letter
critters who speak so boldly on pa
per dare to come to the Office of any
successful man and fail to be meek
and lowly, humbly grateful, while
twisting hat in hand, for any crust
that he might fling?
Dream Of Socialistic Utopias,

still prevails. Many times it has

and perhaps selfish Iaudation for

and perhaps selfish laudation for
our recent great national victory.
This must, however, have its
place in our volume of thanksgiv-
ing. And with glad acclaim we
hail the patriotic spirit which
reigned Supremacy beautiful in the
loyal hearts of our militant de-
mocracy, and witnessed it's COM
plete fulfillment on that eventful
November day.
Through mist and shadow,
through cloud and storm, America
seemed to be lighted up from boz
der to border with the indomitable
spirit of Jefferson, Jackson, Cleve-
land and Wilson, and indeed was
only waiting to be touched into
marching column behind the great
crusader, Franklin D. Roosevelt,
whose sympathetic vision had al
ready caught glimpses of a suffer-
ing and sorrow smitten world and
whose great humanitarian heart
was longing to ring down the cur
tain on this unspeakable tragedy
of human woe.
Indeed, our hearts were longing
for an era in which human liberty
might be exalted in the minds of
men, and equality of opportunity
cease to be sold in the shambles or
marts of unholy privilege. To this
and other great reforms has this
marvellous matchleSs leader COM
mitted himself, and It's not strange
that the anxious yearning heart of
America today should beat with the
throb of a new inspiration and the
fulfllment of hope so long de-
ferred.

The winters icy pain
Where April lifts her laughing face
Bright-eyed, and wet with rain
Shall remember, having much
The winters frugal bread
Or fear the frosty fingers touch
Across my blossomed bed?
What matter if the thorn bellies
The roses fragrant breath,

The moments pulse with power.
And it is given me to eat

S. Will Roosevelt be the

president of the United States?
6. Who was the first Presi-

At the conclusion of this

There will be ten questions.
The first two appeared in this
