Why The Preference?

One of the most amusing parts of this strange conflict of ideas - Alfred E. Smith, democratic candidate for the presidency in 1928, supporting the repub- lican candidate in 1936-is the way republican bigwigs have taken Al to their bosom collectively and individually. Never { has he been so popular in g.o.p. circles. Why they even say that Al could be received in the best clubs in the land if he were so disposed. Senator Vandenberg of Michigan took the prize last week though, when he interpreted WPA as meaning, "We Prefer Al'.
 Time certainly works many changes in our makeup. Who would ever think that after the debacle of 1928 when Alfred E. Smith, perhaps the most popu- lar presidential nominee the democrats had placed on national ticket, was sold down the river. How many people can recall that campaign, the extreme bitter ness of it, the extreme lengths to which republican campaignerS and defamers went to defeat the democratic candidate? Surely the memory of that year is not erased from memory so quickly. Many were the threats and promises made by democrats then.
 Yet today apparently all is well for republicans have forgive Il Al. Smith. They have embraced him with fervor and even murmured few prayers that he might not at the last moment weaken and re- main true to his own party. Today he is exalted - a great democrat, states man, man of vision an American before a politician, the man of the hour, etc. Four years ago he was an upstart, an Irish Catholic trying to be elected presi- dent. He wasn't good enough then; why is he any different today? You answer this question, you voters of the United States. Why is he any different?

Whosism

According to Who's Who in America" :" the latest edition of which has just come out, there are 31,434 notables in the United States. Now that Professor Albert Einstein is living in the United States, he has place in the Who's Who' volume. He is one of 2,786 new corners to that record.
 Comment on the currc-.cc edition sug- gests that Americans have been missing a golden opportunity of some sort by not betting on the length of ne better known biographies in the 7,, For some years, it appears, there has been genteel, per- 'haps unconscious, race for -lost lines tell ing the famous persons life stories. This year that contest is won by Dr. Charles Horace Mayo, surgeon, with total of 151 lines Second is Samuel Untermeyer with just one line less.
 The top men for some years have been Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia University, MT. Untermyer and Dr. Mayo, with victory in any year depending pretty much on how many honorary degrees or public citations have been received since the previous printing. And possibly that constitutes fame. Or at least what we might call ''whosiSm".

Constitution Rights

American public opinion is very strongly, and very properly, opposed to communism in any form. It does seem, however, as if in our zeal to oppose this un-American system some of us are behaving in an un-American way. The American way, as old-fashioned Ameri- cans understood it, is the way of free speech, and this freedom is supposed to extend not only to those of our own way of thinking, but to those who disagree with us about economics and politics. The only lawful barrier to free speech, according to this view, is reasonable speech. And reasonable speech in a political campaign would be speech aim ing to overthrow our system of govern- ment by force.
 If this is a correct view, then even communists, who want to change our political and economic system, have constitutional right to express their views publicly, if they seek to effect their changes peacefully, by the established processes of elections and constitutional amendment.
 The communist party in this national campaign is in the field, and on the ticket, apparently by lawful procedure and con- stitutional right = as long as it does not use or advocate violence. This being the case, are not individuals and private organizations and public officials who deny free speech to communist speakers like Earl Browder acting unconstitution- ally themselves, and thereby endangering the Constitution?

Neutral Problems

It is a good thing that poor marks manShip saved the U. s. destroyer Kane from bombs dropped by an unidentified plane. Fortunately, too, the rounds fired by the American anti-craft gun also went wide of the mark. But the incident shows clearly the peril of having vessels of neu- tral nations in the danger zone when a war is in progress.
 The United States government protested promptly to both sides in the Spanish conflict. It made plain further that the war vessel was in Spanish waters solely for the purpose of aiding American na- tionals in Spain to leave. As soon as that job Is finished, our warships will be with drawn. The task will be considered fin ished as soon as every American who wants to leave has done so. Any who remain voluntarily must do so at their own peril. The government does not in- tend to risk war on their account.
 It is necessary for citizens at home to cake a common sense view of the matter and to understand that patriotism, in 11ch dangerous situation, consists in keeping out of trouble in order to help the government maintain peace.

Debt Cancellation

There's help for farmers in Canada, too, and spectacular example of it is Saskat- -chewan. In the southern and western part of that province, which has been sorely stricken by drouth, debts amount ing to $75,000, ,00O have been cancelled for nearly 50,000 farmers.
 It was done by joint action of the federal and provincial governments and the mortgage and loan companies. The companies absorbed one-third of the loss and the public treasuries paid the rest. The creditors were satisfied to get two- thirds of their money.
 Farmers used to feel that they were diScriminated against in times of distress. It seemed easier and more natural some how for banks and governments to help city people than country people. But that is true no longer. Both in the United States and Canada, and indeed in most other countries, the farmers are now get ting at least their share of public help.

A Book a Day
An Eccentric Dad, Inventor Maxim!
BY BRUCE CATION

You must look 8 long time to find more completely refreshing book than "A Genius in the Family" by Hiram Percy Maxim (Harpers: $2).
 In this book MT. Maxim tells what it is like to have an eccentric in- ventor for a father. His father was Sir Hiram Stevens Maxim, inventor of the rapid-f1re gun; as fathers go, he seems to have been quite speci- men.
 We find him, for instance, getting a brass bean-shooter to lombard the local cop who descended into an areaway across the street each Sunday morning to have soft words with the kitchen maid-and we see him also, years later, when he had grown rich and worldfamous, ab- Senting himself from his London c-onies each evening to conduct a similar bombardment on 8 Salva- ton Army band.
 Sir Hiram is told he needs exer- else; in frock coat and plug hat he r:-.:-1s at top speed down the main stem of Brooklyn until ready to drop. He reads that extreme heat feels like extreme cold; he experi- ments on his wife's cook with a hot poker, and completely disrupts the domestic establishment.
 As a rugged individualist, he was perfect; as :. father he may have had his defects. But whatever else it may have been, life in the Maxim home never can have been dull. It had spice, and savor all its own.
 There are about two hours of ex- tremely enjoyable reading in this book,

ments in the future, it is net to the immediate reason for declaring war on Germany that we must look, but to those factors which made such tragic circumstances inevitable.
 Two factors were the financing of, and the trading on, the allied needs for war materials. Germany, unless she was to invite grim de- feat, had to attempt to stop the equipping of her enemies with the materials of victory. United States business inetrestS were supplying those materials. Count Bernstorff warned his government that in an- nouncing unrestricted submarine warfare it was in effect declaring war against the United States. And indeed, some American advocates of war with Germany were soon to say that a state of war already exist ed in fact, so why not give 1t official recognition?
 A state of war did exist in fact, But it existed prior either to the American declaratoin or to the un- restricted U-boat campaign. It be- gan to exist when the United States, cut off from legal trade connections with Germany, nevertheless con- tlnued to supply the allieS-likewise offenders against American neutral ity-with war goods and credit.
 Sentiment? Yes, there was senti- ment; some pro-G German sentiment, much more broadly sentiment; but still more of the sentiment that re- elected President Wilson because 'he kept us out of war"
 Of course, under the philosophy of trade rights which conditioned American behavior in the World war years, neither President Will son nor any other President could have kept this countary out of war. Years after commanding the United States fleet in European waters, Ad- miral Sims set his pen against the philosophy as based on greed of commercial interests. And the pulp lie approval which fololwed Presi- dent Roosevelt's announcement at the outbreak of the lo-Ethiopian war that trade would be the traders own risk showed that Americans had learned something between then and 1914.
 Nothing but a complete under standing of its mistakes in the war years will enable the United States to avoid future embrailment. That complete understand ingincludes a knowledge of the effect trade and finance can have anon gother in- fluences in drawing American to- ward war.

Fire Prevention Week began yester- day and will continue all this week. The President of the United States urges cooperation in this movement. Our local fire marshal draws attention to the seri- ousneSs of the proclamation, pointing to the fact that Waterbury has had some serious fires during the past year with deaths from same. The proclamation, therefore, is not statment of empty words. It should be read carefully and not viewed as a well written paragraph, but as it is intended, reminder to people to avoid the causes of fire.

While the general masses read dis passionately war news from Spain trying to make head or tail of the situation there is interspersed amidst the tales of loss of life in dreadful manner the despoiling of works of art. In an inventory taken by rebel forces at Toledo, priceless works of art, museum pieces and church treas ures are among the missing. Picture to yourselves famous paintings torn by bull lets, with the Fl Greco and San Vicente museums stripped bare. Add this to the slaughter of human beings and you have a frightful state of affairs, to put it mildly.

Why America went to war in 1917 probably will be a subject for con- troversy for some time to come. Newton D. Bakers article in the latest quarterly issue of Foreign Affairs attempts to answer the question by pointing to Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare. This, of course, leaves the matter only half covered. In itself, the German submarine campaign was not SO much 8 cause as an effect.
 Now the question is not whether the United States should have gone into the war under the circum- stances, the United States could hardly keep out. But if the ques- tion of why America went to war the last time is to help to keep it free from such foreign entangle-

(New Britain Herald)

It is impossible to mediate the strike at the Remington plant be- cause neither side will give in as much as an inch-except that the strikers are willing to negotiate through their union. This the medi- ation and arbitration board which has just reported to Governor Cross evidently considered as good as not caring to mediate. At any rate, if the Remington. Rand concern medi- ated with the union it would be union recognition.
 The strike evidently will go on wit hthe plant partially in operation and various hot-heads among the strikers willing to indulge in vio- lence on occasion.

 Boston Post Reprint) Strange! how the trifies sting In the face of greater thing: Death. And 1t is not the ache Of our hearts night to break That is hardest to bear But the thought that now ne'er Shall he know again Spring flowers and the rain, The look of green grass Where the little winds pass, Or the golden crocuses bloom When they pierce earth's womb: Small things of the day, Silly jokes saved to say When he came. Never more Shall his hand on the door Stir our hearts, make us glad In the swift way he had, He alone, when he smiled Like big, happy child. Strange! how the trifies sting In the face of Q greater thing.
