Waiting at transfer point In the
cold is not altogether loss, If you know
little Johnny.
Johnny, who is about years old. wears
a ski-suit, and most infectious smile.
Hello, Mister" he says.
An appropriate greeting is given in
return for such cheer.
"You want to see my name, Mister?"
he continues, holding up a book.
Sure enough, there in the page, along
with many other printed names, is that

"Ya-a-a, you did!" shrieks a small
comrade, coming along just then. 1t
was already in the book"
"I wrote it." stoutly insists John.
"You did not, you did not!" Shrieks
of comrades become heated.
"I did, did" he retorts.
The next day there was John. waiting
for us, we rather hoped.
Hello" says he.
Hello" say we.
do you want to know what saw?"
he asks, rather hopefully.
Indeed, we did.
"A play"
Wasn't that fine!"
"And do you know who was In the
play?"
We could not guess.
Jesus" he said, simply.
"And do you want to know who else
was in it?"
Stand on the sidewalk. don't get into
the street." we admonished, timidly'
Little boys aren't admoniShed any more,

He drew back from the curb.
THE three wise men," he continued.
"And there was a star, and the little
baby Jesus"
"Yes?"
And He was to grow up to bring peace
and good will to men,"
do you think He succeededP
A startled little face looked up.
THAT wasn't in the play" he said.
A modern jeremiah, standing on
curbstone, might unburden himself, as
follows, to the unhearing air:
"One man, at this hour, stands be-
tween the best and the worst in humanity.
"One man alone, out of the centuries,
has vitality of spirit enough to resist the
threatened return to barbariSn.
What shame is this, to the human
race, that it has been able to evolve
but one such Man!
What shame to God Almighty!
"Is One Man enough?
He stands for peace still, but at every
opportunity many who follow Him have
naraded themselves on the side of
slaughter.

Thirteen Dead.

A bus carrying school children is driven
upon a railroad track, where it is hit by
q train and three are killed. This on
Long Island. A bus making scheduled
run between cities is driven upon a
bridge with an open draw and plunges
into the Appomatox River in Virginia,
with the death of all on board, thirteen
passengers and the driver. These two
accidents within four days bring once
again to public consideration the ques-
tion Of security, which has repeatedly
arisen since the adoption of the speedy
individual agency of mass transportation.
The disaster in Virginia was due pri-
marily to the endeavor to maintain a
schedule, which called for high rate
of progress The specific cause may have
been the failure of the brakes to work
when danger was confronted, the worst
possible danger in the way of road
vehicle, an. open bridge draw, with
frail barrier which snapped like a straw
when struck. Examination of the bus
will perhaps disclose the mechanical facts.
The driver is dead and he cannot give
an explanation, nor can he be held
accountable for the tragedy.
The public highways, primarily in
tended for the use Of individuals and not
for the operation of multiple transport
services, are constantly the scene of dis
asters, the heavier vehicles dominating
the roads and endangering thousands.
Between the busses and the trucks en-
gagged in freight transport the roads are
no longer safe even for those who drive

The Voice of Al Smith.

The address that Alfred E. Smith is
scheduled to make at the dinner OF the
American Liberty League here on Janu-
ary 25 may help make political history.
The mere announcement that the former
standard bearer of the Democratic party
is to be the principal speaker on this
occasion has aroused great interest. 1t
Is taken for granted that Mr.. Smith will
open fire, with characteristic vigor, on
the Roosevelt New Deal. The American
Liberty League, of which the former
New York Governor is an important
member, has dedicated itself to fight
against the New Deal on the ground that
it threatens American institutions and
ideals and paves the way for fascist
or communist form of Government.
Mr.. Smith has potent voice. No one
in American public life has greater
facility for hitting hard and directly.
Since he gave over the editorship OF the
New outlook, in which he frequently
attacked New Deal measures, Mr.. Smith
has been silent. There is little reason
to believe, however, that he has become
more enamoured of the New Deal, and
his presence as a speaker at the Ameri-
can Liberty League dinner is expected
to open a drive against the renomina-
ton and reelection of President Roose-
welt.
If Mr.. Smith becomes a part OF this
drive, an active opponent OF the re-
nomination of Mr.. Roosevelt, there may
vet be some excitement at the meeting
of the Democratic National Convention.
He has had a,big following throughout
the country in the past. In view OF the
deluge of criticism falling now on the
New Deal, he may easily gain many new
recruits.
What Mr.. Smith may do in the pre-
convention campaign, however, is OF less
interest, possibly, than what he may DO
in the general election campaign a1ter
the parties candidates have been noml-
mated. It seems at this writing lncon-
ceivable that President Roosevelt will be
denied a nomination by the Democratic
National Convention. Indeed, his re-
nomination is regarded as an accom-
plished fact. A few months ago his re-
election was just as confidently predicted
But today, outside of the ubiquitous Mr.
Farley, chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, there are few who do
not believe that the President has real
fight on his hands.
If AL Smith takes the stump against
the reelection of President Roosevelt
next Fall he is likely to be most effective.
Whether he speaks in support OF an
other candidate, or whether he merely
speaks against the reelection OF Roose-
welt, will make little difference. In New
York, the Empire State; in New jersey
in Illinois, and, indeed, all the way across
the continent, Smiths voice will be effec-
tive. If he takes to the stump to beat
Roosevelt it will not be because he loves
his old enemies, the Republicans. but
because he believes that the safety OF
the Nation depends upon the junking OF
New Deal experiments.

Foreign Secretary Eden.

When Sir Samuel Hoare was made
the solitary scapegoat of the British gov
ernment's egregious misdemeanor IN the
Anglo French peace offer to Italy. many
authorities at home and abroad felt it
was not cricket" 1t was said that the
prime minister would have given more
creditable exhibition of political sports
manship if he, too, or his entire cabinet,
had resigned as an act of penance for
one of the crowning diplomatic blunderS
of all time.
To a considerable extent the appoint
ment of Capt. Anthony Eden as foreign
secretary makes amends for Mr.. Bald
wins failure thus to grapple with the
situation. Far from typifying the spirit
of surrender or of humiliating conces-
sions to Mussolini, Capt Eden, more
than any other man in the British gov
ernment or in Parliament, personifieS
a policy of vigor and firmness toward the
Fascist aggression. From the outset, in
his capacity of minister for League
affairs, Capt Eden has been in the fore
front of GenevaS moves to impose sane
tions and carry through to the logical
conclusion the principle of collective
action which they represent. His activi-
ties have marked him at Rome as Italy'S
archfoe. Now that Eden has inherited
the foreign Office, indignation there is
likely to reach the boiling point. Already
temperamental outbursts echo from the
Tiber to the effect that the change in
Downing Street means war"
What the Italians have feveriShly in
mind is knowledge that Capt. Eden
favors imposition of oil sanctions, if they
are necessary to halt the Ethiopian cam
paign He Is credited with cherishing
no fears that the dictator will risk the
ruin of Fascism and the annihilation OF
Italy by resorting to the suicidal course
of making war on Great Britain and
other League powers.
The coat of arms of the Eden family
bears the motto: Isl Sit Prudential
BE Prudent" Capt. Eden has given
prompt evidence that he is carrying the
slogan of his house into the conduct of
official affairs. 1t was he who concluded
recent negotiations at Geneva which pro-
duced pledges that Turkey, Greece, Ru-
mania, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia
would give military and naval aid to
any power assailed by Italy because of
sanctions. Capt. Eden thus assumes his
new duties fortified with the assurance
that if the British fleet in the Mediter-
ranean is attacked by Mussolini's air or
naval squadrons it will not lack effective
support, both on land and sea. Thus bull
warked. Britain apparently thinks it can
view with relative equanimity the re-
luctance or unreadiness of France to
join Fundamentally in resisting an Ital-
ian offensive.
Events seem destined to march rapidly
toward a showdown between Eden and
Mussolini. In the thirty -eight-year
soldier-diplomat who becomes master OF
Britainnia's foreign relations at one Of
the most critical hours in her history
there is ample indication that II Duce
has met his match in tenacity. Obvi-
ously the League minded British nation
expects Eden to stand four-square in
vindication of Genevas purpose to bring
Italy to book. Everything in his record
iustifies confidence that he will deliver
the goods.

A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
The Holly Days.

Emotion flows thru your town and mine,
Tenderness, love, affection;
It flows in tide warm and divine
AS childhood recollection.
The streets We have known, both you
and I,
Since first we could remember
Are swept by the warmth of heart and
eye
That comes with each December.
Here and there in the jovial throng
Hands reach for hands in greeting;
Townsmen hail friends as they sweep
along,
Laughing; parting; meetingl
Yet some are gone from your town and
mine;
And slowed fingers fall apart.
There's a touch of grief to the tide
divine
In this season Of the heart.

on the next convention. If 1t did there
might be party split not unlike that of
1912 and the Bull Moose affair. But it
is easily conceivable that, in the event
of deadlock, the convention might give
its nomination to man like Senator
Arthur H .Vandenberg of Michigan, who
has never been an old guardsman, but
who has opposed the New Deal much
more frequently than some of his Re-

cluding both Borah and Senator McNary

The death of Senator Thomas D. Schall
of Minnesota, Republican, takes another
vitriolic critic Of President Roosevelt out
of the Senate. The other was the late
Senator Huey Long of Louisiana. On
the Republican side of the chamber, the
voice of Schall, Minnesota's blind Sem
ator, was raised frequently in bitter
attack upon the President and upon his
New Deal advisers. In his place will
come to the Senate under appointment
by Gov. Olson, presumably, Farmer
Laborite. Olson himself is to be can
didate for the Senate seat held by Schall
in the 1886 elections He was to cam
paign against Schall before the death of
the latter. Whom the Republicans will
run against the Farmer-Labor Governor
remains to be seen. And the chances of
Republican success in the Minnesota
senatorial fight are likely to depend con-
siderably on the strength of the Repub-
lican national ticket in Minnesota next
year. If the anti-Roosevelt move is
strong there, it viii not help Olson, who
is regarded as friend of the President
and as more radical. Schalrs death has
brought still greater reduction in Re-
publican strength In the Senate chamber
for the coming session Of Congress. Never
