The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1935-01-24

The reason many majority leaders
are said to be interested in these
things is that any Independent liberal
movement, even one among Republic
cans, will take votes away, not from
the Republicans, but from the major
ity party. The New Dealers got most
of the liberal votes last time. Those
who voted the Republican ticket
against all temptations were the kind
who stay put and who are not apt to
be led off by an independent move
ment. The winners, though more nu-
merous, present no such cohesive
front. No man can predict what will
happen politically in the next two
years. But the conditions are all set
for complications. That is why the
leaders are SO anxiously scanning the
horizon just now and are looking in a
different direction than was the case
a few months ago.

publican reorganization is that new
problem is arising. That problem con-
Germs the future of the majority party
and just what is going to happen.
Some Washington political observers
tell US that many of the wise Demo-
cratic chieftains are not so much in
terested in what the Republicans will
do, as to what is apt to happen to the
other party. At present the admins
tration seems to be riding high, and
the influence of President Roosevelt
with his party leaders and Congress
seems to be more potent than ever
before. But there are certain clouds
on the horizon which might develop
cracks in the united front. Whether
they will develop into anything seri-
Gus or not remains to be seen. What
seems to be imminent is not the or
ganization of a brand new young
mans militant liberal Republican
Party but the rise of one or more par
ties that are more liberal than either
of the two major organizations are at
this time.

For example: Progressive party
members in Congress have put a
movement on foot for a national pro-
gressive organization. There has been
named full slate of progressive can
didates for organization in the House,
all from Wisconsin, and Representa-
tive Withrow, chairman of the pro-
gressive conference, has been quoted
as explaining:
"This action will serve to establish
the identity of the progressive party,
and at the same time form an organ
ization under which liberal members
of both House and Senate may join
in action toward liberal legislation"
This is only one sign of the times.

Mr.. Long handles his own rumored
candidacy for the Presidency by stat

that the statesmen desire to avoid it,
is to enact into law the proposals
which Mr.. Long is now advocating. If
that is not done, it is broadly init
mated in Long quarters that there
may be something doing in 1886. No
real political leaders, of course, now
expect Mr.. Long to capture the Demo-

1886. But the question is whether this
will stop Mr.. Long and his followers.

Basque Hardest

(By The Associated Press)

Paris, Dec. 12, Profess or Watson Kirk Cornell of Wesley College, Winnipeg, Canada, who has studied the problem for years, as- Serts that Basque is the hardest language to master, and he is acquainted with 54 others.
 No fewer than 800,000 Basques in the Pyrenees mountains, about half of them on the French side, Hive and move and have their being in this strange tongue, the origins of which they themselves cannot eX- plain. Learned professors for decades have by anal ogy and deduction tried to relate Basque to Hebrew, to Japanese, to Celtic, to Arabic, but without suc- cess.
 "The Basques do not merely button their words up the back as other people do" Professor Cornell says. ''They also have prefixes and Suffixes and mixes, and exceptions are more numer ous than rules. By the time a word gets out nobody can recognize it, not even it's own mother"

COMAX COAL is produced by the Vancouv- CT Island Goals Limited, producers also of the fam- ous Ladysmith Coal We brought in sample SUD- nly of COMAX COAL on the recommendation of MT. H. R. Plommer, General Manager, who visit ed Nome last summer.

HOW TO CHECK
CHILD CRIME
BY TOM MOONEY

Prisoner

fCopyrixht, 1888, by International
News Service)
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. IA.
uNsJ.-Juvenile delinquency Is
. gigantic problem!
There is q politico-economic and
sociological reason for all crime,
including juvenile delinquency.
Give Fairgrounds and gym
nasiums to the youth of America
today; keep the youngsters healthy
In body and in mind; keep them
out of the alleys, the cradles OF
crime. Let the children have ath-
letics and dramatics to capture
their imagination and to harness
their adventurous spirits, and we'll
have less Dillingers.
Recalls Own Youth
I have seen thousands Of con-
victs-men forced into crime by
misspent youth.
My early youth was spent in a
small mining town in southern
Indiana. My father died pennileSS
when I, the Oldest of three chill
dren, was 10 years old.
There being no work for a
woman in a mining town. my
mother was forced to go to a mill
town in New England where she
worked for 81 a week sorting
dirty rags to support herself and
her brood Of three.
Still Was Hungry
Mothers $4-a-week was not
enough. The few nickelS
earned selling newspaper helped
. little; but, I still was hungry.
So were my brother and sister.
I ate many a meal out of gar
bage can. I stole foods from the
delivery wagons of fruit, vege-
table and bakery divers
Fortunately, I found job as
Q molder'S apprentice and learned
that trade and was always EN-.
ployed afterward at good wages.
But the alley-bred children of
today are potential juvenile de-
linquents-poSsible Dillingers-oI
