earlier decades of this century that the Theodore Roosevelt liberal bolt in 1912 did not interfere with a re- union sight years later, leading to a dozen years of Republican rule
 Premature Ialk
 Of course every year makes it's own political precedents, yet it is difficult for political oldtimers to see how either great party can be expected to give up it's continuing identity in 1886.
 It is hard for them to visualize a situation where MT. Roosevelt and MT. Borah would be in the same party, and MT Smith and MT. Hoover, for instance, in the other.
 In fact there is visible evidence to the contrary MT Borah is at tacking MT Roosevelt, and MT Smith says he expects to die "a Democrat" Presumably that means that even if he takes a walk" with the Republicans this year, he means to come back later to his empty chair at the Democratic fireside.
 The mere physical and mechani- cal difficulties of organizing a new party are far greater than anyone would suppose until he has pur- sued the ramifications of party alignment down into the wards and townships.
 Some members of the Liberty League thought year ago that a truly conservative party, recruit ed from both old parties, could be organized in 1886 to oppose MT. Roosevelt's reelection. They seldom mention such possibility now. It has been dream of the Farmer Laborites for years to organize on a national basis as a truly lib eral' party but not much has come of it.
 During all this time there has been much premature talk about burying the Republican and Demo- cratic parties. So far as can be learned at this writing, neither has made any appointment with the coroner.

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Feb. 12- Jean Blondell doffs her hat and salutes the average mother"
 Although Norman Scott Barnes is IA months old, only now does Joan realize to the full the joys of motherhood. She has taken her son on a vacation just the two of them.
 When Normie was born, Joan was determined to combine her career and motherhood with em- phasis on the latter.
 She hired a nurse, but there were many things about Normie's sched- ule that needed, she felt, her per- sonal supervision. She must plan his food, select his clothes, be sure he gets plenty of everything a baby needs for health and happi- ness. When she works, she gets up early to have her ''playtime" with him, and gets home early for their "romp" together During the day she telephones home frequently. Joan's Big Idea Well, came vacation time, and Joan's big idea She wanted to take little Normie. all alone, without nurse or cook or outside aid, and be an average mother" They went to resort near Nor co, Cal, and Joan settled down for a nice long stay. She stayed four days, lost four pounds, and came back to Hollywood to give the nurse a raise.
 Little Normie is at the age when babies get into everything" His toddling feet wandered uncertainty down a hill, Joan gave chase, fell and skinned her knees Gittle Nor mic toddled back, unharmed.
 Little Norlnie left toys around for Joan to trip over, which Joan did Little Normie likes to kick Joan, taking off his shoes, got one on the chin
 She didn't sleep much at night either, because little Normie might get uncovered.
 And then there was the game oi watching Normie" just waiting for whatever is coming next. The average mother knows this game

Continuing their winning ways,
and showing Improvement in every
department, the Border basketball
team defeated the squad from st.
Marks Lutheran Church by the
score of 1928. The game was a
rough and tumble affair from start
to finish, with each team battling
as though the championship was at
stake on every shot.
Donald Strawder, the spark-plug
of the Border attack, ran away
with the scoring honors, by virtue
of his four field goals and two gift
shots, totalling ten points. Lott,
Mosby, and Patterson finished in a
tie for second place with five points
each.
The spectators were treated to
some highly exciting basketball,
when, with the score 2O-11 in favor
of the home boys at the half, the
st. Marks outfit came back strong
er than ever to close the gap. The

COMMENT

It's queer, but it's true that few
men in public life can give express
sion to what they actually believe
without being subject to a food of
unfavorable criticism. This comes
in the first place from political enc
mics whose effort it is to find gross
error in anything that originates
in the opposition camp. It comes
in the next place from the general
public, educated to discount any
word spoken by those in public life.
This is unfortunate for two rea-
sons. Men should not be forced
into concealing their real senti-
ment; the public should not be
taught to believe there is no de-
pendence to be placed upon the ac-
tons or words of those who repre-
sent it in high places.
Take the case of New jerseys
governor. In his 30-day reprieve
of Hauptmann, the condemned kid
naper and murderer of the Lind
bergh baby-his political oppo-
nents call it playing politics for
self aggrandizement. And the
public, quick to follow the line of
least resistance, cry amen. Few
are they who stop for serious
analysis and seek for a more logi-
cal reason for this important step.
AS a matter of fact, there are
many thousands of peoples in these
United States motivated by the
same doubts that have disturbed
the governor to the point where he
fears to allow the final action that
would forever forbid the resolving
of those doubts. Many Of those
thousands if they had the same
power and equal courage would do
just as New Jerseys governor has
done.
True it is, that not many among
the thousands believe Hauptmann
innocent, and believing him guilty
many are ready to declare he
should be put to death. But guilty
of what? He could be guilty of
much for which the law would not
impose the death penalty. This,
doubtlessly, has influenced the ac-
ton of the governor and may in
cline him to grant even further
clemency. There are many who
believe with the executive that
Hauptmann was not alone in the
commission of this crime. Perhaps
he may be induced to disclose what
he has refused thus far to tell. If
he does, his few days of reprieve
will prove worthwhile. If he does
not he dies finally; justice will be
= served and the governors mind set
at ease. I could find it in my heart
to wish he was governor of Ala
bama.
