COMMENTING ON THE PAR
SONS papers criticism of Gov. Lam
dons administration, The Oswego,
Kansas, Democrat, comments:
Gov. Landon has sacrificed the
counties, the schools, the unfortunates
in our state institutions, the high
ways, all for record of economy
so he could be named a candidate for
president. The state has showed the
relief burden off in the federal govern
ment and the counties. 1t is nearly
two years behind on the Old Age
Pension legislation which would en-
able the state to participate in fed
eral funds for this purpose.
where would the country have
been in the crisis that confronted
President Roosevelt three years ago
had this policy been adopted? Every
one knows the answer. Where would
this country be if Gov. Landon's OPP
position to the Federal Deposit Guar
antee law had been successful? The
foundation upon which recovery was
built was the Roosevelt administra-
tons banking legislation that so
quickly restored confidence and made
safe the savings of individuals. With
out it the panic which was upon the
nation in the spring of 1888 would
have blocked all efforts towards re-
covery.
THE best way to judge mans
actions in the future is by his rec
ord in the past. If by the widest
stretch of the imagination Landor
We're to be elected President, judg-
ing from his past record we could
look for a balanced budget, but
without heed to further recovery or to

htcal career has been built around
ms frugality, his pitiful penny-pinch-
ing demand for a balanced budget
without regard to the need for res
toration of normal conditions in IN
uustry and on the farm.
Applying Landon's attitude, car
any one imagine such government aic

ISTANBUL, Feb. 22.-A plan to connect Europe and Asia Minor by suspension bridge over the Bosphorus is being considered by the municipality of Istanbul
 Cost estimates, approximating s10- 100000, have been submitted by an Anglo-American engineerinQ groun who propose a bridge similar in design to the Brooklyn span
 It would reach from the plctur- esque native quarter of old Stam- bout to Haidar Pasha Station, cn Asiatic soil, whence trains depart to Bagdad.
 The bridge would have various levels for train. pedestrian and mo- tor traffic. It would be a mile and half long and would be 72 feet above high tide, permitting large liners to pass underneath.

 A raging smoke eating last min ute rally fell just three points short last night at the high schol gym when the Juneau Bremen went down to defeat before the bigger Tallapoosa quintet, 34 to 3l, in the opener of a league iouble-header.
 DeMolay sailed through the sec ond game, taking Sabin's Clothiers, 46 to p. The Sabin's squad, like all other teams that have failed to defeat the leaders this season, were completely outplayed, out-con- ditioned and outscored for at least three quarters.
 Opener Thrilling
 The opener was packed with thrills, with the fire-f fighters grab ping seven points at the outset be- fore the sailors could find the hoop. The consistent bell-ringing by big George Tanghe, one of the best players in the loop, was the feature of the evening. His IA points were all made on field goals from one handed heaves from all over the court The size of the navy men stopped last minute assault by the Bremen, when they fought in vain under their own basket to bring the count to 34 to 8, hoping for an added free throw, but their shots were rushed as the fleet won again. Rol Gissberg, also of the winners. scored ten points, sharing second place scoring honors with Art Burke, who turned in a good floor game Jimmy Orme, high-scoring Fire man ace, did not play
 The DeMolay champions ran the Sabin's boys ragged in the after math, leading at one time by a 30 to count. The haberdashers brought it to 30 to Is at the half, but could not hold the pace set by the winners. Kinky Bayers and Bob Davlin, with 12 and 10 points re- spectively, led in scoring in the last game, while Bud Foster and Dave Turner, with six points each, were best for the losers.

combination wrecked the administration
of Herbert Hoover because we planned
it that way" It likewise has committed
the sin OF teaching class hatred to mil
lions of people who formerly had be-
lieved that democracy implied tolerance.
But the tragedy in the circumstances
lies in the fact that the example they
have furnished has been adopted by
others. Father Coughlin, for instance.
has followed in their footsteps. Dema-
goguery has become a fashion. Mr.
Smith was well advised to quote General
JohnSon's picturesque description of his
former messiah as "a rabble rouser."
1t appears, then, that a fundamental
issue OF the present campaign is whether
or not the electorate will be deceived by
the appeal to passion. Theoretically,
intelligence is supposed to govern the
Republic. The people should 60 to the
polls with rational patriotism in their
minds. But it remains to be seen If
enough Of them will. Confidence in the
New Deal connotes approval of its
methods, including the smear" tech
nique with all its cunning efficiency and
arrogant insincerity. Mr.. Smith has
served his country by naming 1t for what
1t is.

''The Smear Department"

One of the most notable phrases in AL
Smiths Carnegie Hall speech was that
concerning "the smear department" The
erstwhile Happy Warrior" still fighting
for what he believes is right, warned his
audience that it might expect to be Will
fed by New Deal propagandists. Such
is the fate of any individual or group
possessed of courage enough to disagree
with President Roosevelt and the brain
trust. But it may be doubted that the
whole public enjoys the spectacle.
Fair play, as it happens, means some
thing to Americans. That is one reason
why the so-called Good Neighbor
Policy" has been applauded by members
of all parties. But Mr.. Smith is correct
when he demands that the rule be
applied universally. There is no special
merit in being nice to ones friends.
What really counts Is being at least
polite, if not charitably kind, to ones
enemies. And the New Dealers have
been merciless in their handling of their
opposition. The President himself has
set the fashion Of vilification. He never
has spared anybody who presumed to
cross him.
Also, Mr.. Roosevelt Is responsible for
the activities Of Charles Nicholson, his
spokesman as chief Of the Democratic
Publicity Bureau and . genius Ia the

1t formerly was. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
would not now be out touring the hinter-
land If the electorate had believed the
"applesauce" dispensed these past four
years by Messrs. Farley, Nicholson. Tug
well, Hopkins and Creel.
The difficulty is that the suckers will
not stand hitched. When they are
"stung," they resent it. Abraham Lin
coin was correct in his Judgment that:
"You can't fool all of the people all OF
the time" He likewise must have been
familiar with the fact that Americans
have the habit of tranSlating their anger
into action. Tar and feathers are but
mild symbols of their wrath. The wild
and woolly West is not the only section
of the country where the graves of sum-
marily executed sharpers may be dis
covered without exhaustive search. Even
in the East it is perilous to be caught
with too many aces.
Mr.. SCOTS dictum overlooks the third
class. 1t consists of those millions OF
plain men and women who live decent
and self-respecting lives and never dream
of exploiting others nor of permitting
themselves to be exploited.

Who Took a Walk?

Last January Al Smith told the Lib
erty League and the millions who heard
his Washington speech that if the Demo-
cratic National Convention Endorsed the
present administration he would take
a walk" Figuratively, his walk began
discussion and conjecture over definition
of terms. What was walk? Did the
Happy Warrior" imply that by taking
q walk he would merely absent himself
from proceedings which long since had
lost his sympathy and support? Would
he merely stroll around the block, to
return after the hullaballoo in the old
homestead caused by dissension among
the relatives had quieted down and all
was peaceful once again? Al Smith
kept walking-but in silence.
Last night he reached his destination.
His walk ended in crossing the threshold
of the Landonites. He entered, wearing
the brown derby. High hats are for the
man who ''goes to wedding or fu-
neral" But in announcing himself at
the door he introduced himself as an
American. II am an American before
am Democrat, before I am a Re-
publican or before am anything else"
And in that manner he justified an act
which in other days the AL Smith of old
would have dubbed treason.
For, according to AL Smith, he is not
the man who has taken a walk away
from the Democratic party. The Demo-
cratic party has walked away from him
and the men and women who agree with
him. He named some of his spiritual
companions last night. He has gone
further than most of them. IT have never
in my long public career ducked, lodged
or pussyfooted. have never found fault
with anything unless I was prepared to
suggest remedy. I firmly believe
that the remedy for all the ills that we
are suffering from today is the election
OF Alfred M. Landon."
The climax was dramatic. Was it
- happy ending? For AL Smith it could
not have been. He was not the Happy
Warrior" who spoke last night. There
was both bitterness and anger in his
words which no formal disclaimer could
shield. But if there was bitterness and
anger there was no indecision or waver-
ing in breaking with his past, throwing
behind him most of the traditions of
party loyalty that he once revered. He
went the whole hog. He took with him
those who in fair weather and foul have
stuck to Al Smith. There are not as
many now as there were in 1928. But
behind Al Smith there still are many.
Was he right? In his own mind he
was right. That may be enough Was
he right in the sense of moving as the
people are moving? It is too early to
know. The election will not decide. Only
history, in some day now far distant,
can write whether 1t was AL Smith or
the Democratic party who really took
walk.

one time must be revised sharply upward.
Fifty Of these red-breasts were present
Monday at exactly $50 pm.
They were deployed across the lawn
as one might expect a toragtng party to be.
Now so robins in one garden is a real
sight, one worth watching carefully to
sea if necessary.
So solemn, so fat, so intent on worms.
these favorite birds put in busy half
hour before gathering darkness made
them fly away.
Dusk comes early these days. 1t is the
surest sign of Autumn. All around now
ers and shrubs remain in full lea1.
Trees, too, show scarcely lost leaf.
First frost will be necessary TO take
them down.
In the meantime the birds are having
a feast in local gardens, stopping on their
way South.
Observers of this big flock Of robins.
which. because of their name, bring up
memories of Robin Hood and his merry
men, came to believe that this group Is
flying around the city in band.
Ordinarily robins are not 50 gregarlous.
Possibly that is their way when migrating.
Several weeks ago we spoke here OF
watching "a robins in the yard.
The augmentation of the number prob
ably is due to more and more migrating
birds joining the flock.
It may be that in flying from North to
South they decide that in numbers there
is strength. especially as to the location
OF food supplies.
As far as we can recall robins are this
gregarious only at this time OF year.
In the Spring, when they first appear
among us, they come by two and three,
but seldom more.
We recall vividly the appearance Of the
very first robin this year.
It was one of the early f1rst warm days,
and there he was on the front lawn, hop
ping along as If he had never been away.
Large, important looking, but in no
sense boastful in appearance, the robin
red-breast is favorite with all.
With the sparrow and the startling, he
is one of the few birds which city people
get to see yearly. There is no depth of
the urban areas to which he will not
come, though no doubt he prefers the
wider lawns of the outlying sections.
He is a member, as most people know,
of the thrush family, which includes
some of our most beautiful and inter-
esting songbirds-true songbirds, these,
with remarkable musical powers.
Even the robin, though not regarded
as the most excellent singer Of the group.
is nevertheless a remarkable musician.
1t has been said of him that no bird can
give as many shades of meaning to
single note.
Although his nest is dirty affair and
poorly constructed-we have seen them
fall out of a tree before completion-in
it the mother robin lays her beautiful
eggs of the famous robins egg blue"
y
The eating powers Of this bird also are
remarkable.
Some one has estimated If human ate
at the same rate as robin, which easily
consumes IA to is feet Of worms day,
that he would have to eat almost 70
pounds of meat and drink gallons OF
water.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

30 1t is no wonder that when the birds
are flying South they find 1t helpful to
go together in order that all may have
their eyes open for possible grub in the
grass.
To watch the so robins-count EN-
seeking their food IL really an experience.
Say as much as we please that numbers
90 not count, really, and that one robin
Is as good as a hundred, that one morning
glory blossom is equal to q whole fence
full, there Is little gainsaying the plain
fact that large numbers OF anything do
often make q difference.
Those so robins had something. ad-
mittedly, that Just half dozen would not
have had.
1t was noticeable that the flock spread
out, and kept spread out, as If each bird
had little territory of its own 1t was
working over, which must not be in
fringed.
Yet only one fight developed. a pretty
good standard, considering all Of them
were equally hungry, without doubt, and
in a small yard, after all.
This battle was the usual bird affray,
a great deal Of jumping into the air and
clashing Of bills, but no harm done to
either combatant, as far as could be seen.
1t was particularly interesting to watch
the numbers Of robins increase. When
first seen there were only 19 Of them, but
shortly one by one the remainder dropped
down from the trees, whose overspreading
branches afforded rest from the search to
those which wished to fly up.
The whole battalion made a pretty
sight, and one never seen before by the
particular observers.
They wondered II, in past years, the
yard had seen similar robin inroads, but
they. the observers, had not been suffl-
GENTLY interested at the time to keep
watch for them.
AS stated here before, these robin bands
never stay more than half an hour, or
perhaps little longer. at any one time
The best time to .ook for them is just
before dusk, when there is still plenty of
light, but when darkness will come
quickly when it does arrive. a habit at
this time Of year.
the problem of where birds go to sleep
is made acute by the sight of so robins
each and all Of which fly away at dusk
but where?
Certainly they do not remain where
they were feeding, in this case in one
small garden.
But where do they go, and why7
Nearby were plenty of roosting places.
but these red-breasts flew away as dark
came, one by one, one after the ether,
all going in the same direction, which
was due south.
Fellows which may be on their wzy to
Mexico, Of course, ought to keep their
direction in mind.
From the Arctic Ocean to the Gulf of
Such is the theme song of the robin.
The curious thing is that q robin, here
and there, will forget his ancestral song,
and stick around all Winter!
Some people swear that robins from
time to time Winter in this vicinity, but
that is something we will believe when we
see one.
For the present We are satisfied with
half hundred of these fine birds, truly
noble sight in the Autumn garden.
