Along with mounting evidence that
the Kansas Governor is headed for VIC
tory at Cleveland, there's visible in
crease of stop Landon' talk. Whether
it's done with his authority or not, SEN
ator Borah is now credited with readi-
ness to join former President Hoover or
any others in movement to head on
Landon's nomination Published reports
along these lines attribute to the Idahoan
a willingness to accept Senator Vanden-
berg as a compromise candidate. 1t is
recalled in this connection that when
the Michigan Senator was up for re-
election in 1884, Borah issued public
statement expressing the hope that
Wolverine voters would send Vandenberg
back to Washington for another term.
Borah himself refrains from any lndlca-
ton of embarking upon an antl-Lanoon
crusade but to his campaign manager.
former Representative Bachmann OF
West Virginia, who will be the sole Borah
delegate from that State at Cleveland. is
attributed the intention of broadcastlng
a radio blast against Landons record
and his supporters. The Governors
friends are not upset by these develop
ments, being calmly confident that
things are in the bag for him. what
disturbs them far more is the possibility
that Borah might not be a Wnole-
hearted advocate of Landon in the cam
paign. They concede that either the
Idahoans outright or tacit opposition
would be dangerous.
Senator Borah is particularly gratifled
over his showing In the recent oregon
Republican primary. AS he was I'M
opposed in the presidential preference
poll, there was no doubt that the state
delegation would 60 to Cleveland IN MS
support. What mostly pleases the Ida
hoan's people is that he appears to nave
amassed a total popular vote In oregon
substantially larger than the one cast
for President Roosevelt in the Demo-
cratic primary. Borahites feel that the
country received a false impression
about the Ohio primary. The Senator
failed to capture an impressive NUMBER
of delegates, but it's claimed final returns
will show that he scored close to 40 per
cent of the total Republican vote OF the
State in the teeth of a relentless old
guard organization vendetta to over
whelm him In favor of an uninStructeo
delegation.

Very latest under the preconventlon
sun is the suggestion in an Eastern Re
publican quarter that the G. o. p. would
be smart if it nominated Landon-
Breckenridge ticket next month. The
argument is that as the lone Democrat
in the field against F. D. R., the colonel
is the logical man to bring anti-New
Deal Democratic insurgents into the
G. o. p. fold in November. Breckinridges
feat in rolling up substantial protest
vote in the Pennsylvania, Maryland and
Ohio Democratic primaries is cited by
proponents Of the idea as juStifying the
practicability of giving him second place
on Landon ticket, besides providing the
desirable geographical West-East bal
ance.

up the common philosophy when he said:
Tonight shall set the alarm as usual.
When it goes OF shall tell it to ring
itself red in the face and that don't

But what about the worlds work.
How could society survive were 1t not
for the sense of duty which drags the
millions from the pleasant realm Of
Morpheus to share in the tasks which
simply must be done'if humanity is to
remain extant in a planet dedicated to
business? Toll. as the ancients sup

Unemployment in the theater releases
talent that might be useful in making
campaign speeches with revelations not
only of logical force but of smoother die
ton. The methods of the stump speech
or the jury exhortation do not lend
themselves well to radio which places so
much dependence on agreeable personal
ity. Schools of elocution for campaign
orators would contribute an element of
strength to our modern civilization.

Women can fly as well as men but few
wise economists will want them to be

A Rhyme at Twilight

BY the River.

BY the River.
The tide is in; the river flows
In measured rhythm, calm and even.
As If some hidden choir sang
OF amity 'twixt earth and heaven.
Here, on the tranquil river bank,
I breathe the fragrance of the trees
Blossoming near the waters edge,
Swayed by cool nocturnal breeze.
The questing heart brought with me.
Whose restive tides 7 could not slow,
Knows peace at last, and quietude,
Stiped by the rivers steady dow.

Grim ChronicIef.
Old Father Time, you once appeared
An entertaining party.
Our thoughts YOU frequently have
cheered
With promises so hearty.
We thought as history progressed
We'd move with far less friction.
Your promises, put to the test,
Are largely idle fiction.
Old Father Time, when like the moon
Our hope is softly beaming,
To Nightmares we return too soon,
Instead of gentle dreaming.
The tales that you have told once more
OF peace and all its glories
We fear are proving, as of yore,
Just little bedtime stories.

to suppose that Senator Borah will turn
Democrat unless he has some very strong
reasons for so doing. But what joy to
the Democrats if he did! Undoubtedly
the Idaho Senator has great deal of
influence and his voice is potent in cam
paigns. If he lined up with the Roose-
velt Democrats, it would make the task
of the Republicans all the more difficult.
If Senator Borah goes over to the
New Deal, he will have to do a lot of
swallowing. He will have to swallow the
bureaucracy which has been set up by
the Roosevelt administration and which
seems to be constantly growing. He will
have to swallow the Tugwells and the
Hopkins and Wallaces, and the "econ-
omy of scarcity" and lot of other doc
trines. He will have to be prepared to
see the Supreme Court revamped-as to
personnel, so that it will favor such
laws as the N. r. A. and the A. A. A., etc.
He may swallow all of these things and
full that he will. He may prefer a Gov
ernment monopoly to private monopoly.

Congratulations and sympathy;
how hard they are to express, and
how stupid we feel if we express
them badly!
Yet we must rejoice and sorrow
with our friends, or be thought
cold and selfish. Sincere as our
feeling may be, nobody can know
about it if we cannot put it into
words.
Patricia seems to have the knack
Of saying things well. She's con
graduating Roger, who just won a
scholarship in law school.
"Hurrah for you, Roger; I al
ways knew you had it in you!
This is just the first step to the
presidency, you'll see!" and her
chuckle says the joke may turn
out to be true after all.
Roger is flattered, of course, by
her enthusiasm, yet her breezy Sug-
geStion that he may be President
keeps the compliment from becom-
ing heavy and hard to acknowl-
edge. An intelligent chap needs
some such subtle modification of
the old "I-think-yo u're-wonderful"
line.
The art of sympathizing is a diff
ferent matter. Artificial cheerful
ness is just as mistaken as is
raking over the melancholy details
of affliction.
When you meet a friend who
has had a great sorrow. decide
whether it will be kinder to speak
of it or to show your sympathy
only by a warm pressure of your
hand. To an acquaintance you
might say:

SHOWERS
81 have been planning to
have a baby shower for my sis
ster. A few friends thought it
very wrong for me to do this,

the invitations should be sent
out in a friend name. Is It
wrong for me to have this
shower for my sister?
SISTER"
Your friends are right about
this. In the giving of all kinds
Of showers it is thought bad taste
and bad form for a close relative
to plan and give the shower. It
is obvious why-it gives the def
mite impression that the shower
is a promotion for gifts. And this
is just what it usually is.
You yourself must decide
whether you are willin7 to defy
this adverse criticism. This deci-
sion is especially important in
your case, since some friends
have already made their protest.
