Sees Profit in Study
OF Ancient Rome.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Mans conduct on earth is always in.
volved in triangle composed of the
saint, the sinner and the reformer, the
first two representing, respectively, posi-
tive and negative values in accordance
with an established base, which the
third would eliminate in favor of new
base.
In normal times of social progress the
base of the reformer is honestly pre-
sented and urged for acceptance on
truth. But in present times In the
United States we have the reformer in
the person OF that candidate for govern
mental Office who carefully conceals
before election his purpose to place our
civilization on a new basis and pursues
his purpose through channels wholly
apart from established methods of our
Government.
To better understand our present posi-
ton under the domination of the un-
principled reformer, we might review
early days of the domination of the
Caesars over an ancient Roman civiliza-
ton. The Caesars, for all their protesta-
tions Of humane and loving intentions
toward the Roman people, were agents of
. program basically inimical to the
preservation and progress Of the civiliza-
tion Of the Roman people.

Third-Term Opposition

Those who favor a third term for
President Roosevelt must have ex-
pected opposition from the start of
their campaign. 1t is not likely,
therefore, that they were over
whelmingly surprised by the resolu-
ton passed by the Virginia Young
Democrats assembled in convention
at Roanoke. They did what they
could to prevent its adoption and,
having failed in their purpose,
doubtless are philosophic about it.
But the problem of how to unite
the Democracy of the Old Dominion
for the Struggle next year remains
unsolved. The party is split. One
faction, headed by Governor James
H. Price, has claimed to enjoy close
relations with the New Deal. The
other, under the leadership of Sen
ator Harry F. Byrd, has been con-
servative. In the recent primaries
neither group won decisive victory.
The issues of difference, however,
are not clearly established. For ex-
ample, the Young Democrats agreed

Denies Sabotage
In Nevada Railroad Wreck,
To the Edjtor ~ r1hs at.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Concerning your editorial "A Fiendish
Crime" dealing with the Nevada railroad
wreck, have this to say: At the time
OF the San Francisco fire was a con-
ductor on this piece of track. Engineer
Hecox pulled me many times on the
Hazen cutoff, and I know the line as
well as you know Pennsylvania avenue.
The first report was to the effect that
the wreck was caused by rock. I do
not believe this. Trains have been run
ming here almost since the day Lincoln
was assassinated, with no such occur
renee reported. The second report was
that a man without ears caused the
wreck-a futile alibi. Now Bill Jeffers.
who, in my time, used to be night
operator in yard office at Green River,
claims sabotage.
If you will take the trouble to visit
the Library of Congress and read nv
book, Railway Track Economics" YOU
will be able to determine that old-style
track Is unfit for modern, streamlined
high-speed trains. I don't believe that
Hecox made the statement that rails
were moved four inches inward and re-
spiked; If such were the case, how did
the locomotive and the following three
cars make the curve? To me it doesn't
make sense. A real effort should be made
to determine whether the trouble was not
actually caused by operating these trains
over q system Of track structure worn
threadbare by the last ten years Of de-
preston.

that they were "in accord with the
salutary precedent and principle
that no man shall serve more than
two successive terms as President of
the United States" Yet they also
wished it to be known that "our
position is one of policy and not of
personality and is in no sense
directed against the President of the
United States" That their meaning
might not be misunderstood they
pledged themselves to support the
Democratic candidate nominated in
the 1910 Democratic National Con-
vention-which is, in effect,
promise to support Mr.. Roosevelt If
he is renominated.
Governor Price has not announced
his views on the third-term proposal;
Senator Byrd presumably would
prefer that the President retire at
the end of his second term; their
followers, young and old alike, are
Democrats who probably will find
ways and means of working together
when the time for action comes. On
it's face, the Roanoke resolution is a
condemnation of the third-term
movement. 1t should help Senator
Byrd when and if he goes into battle
against a New Deal rival. But ID
does not signify an irreparable
breach. The Republicans through
out the Nation ought not to count
too heavily upon disunity among
their opponents next year.

Invective

Can death in any way be reckoned kind,
Who brought this wash of fish from out
the sea,
Who left this silver quiver on the shore,
Who was the lightning and the thun-
drous roar
OF wind, in one great shudder to the lee,
And brought this silver wash which here
I find?
Relentless, incompassionate, and blind,
Departing on the waves recession, he
Returned and left these silver souls
behind,
Who, delicate as moonbeams, breathe no
more.
Oh, empty-hearted as rotting tree
Is death-too evil far to be maligned-
Who brought this wash Of fish from out
the sea.

THIS AND THAT
By Charles +. Trace1reH:

The shrill cry Of the mother squirrel
for her lost baby is like nothing else to
be heard in the woods.
Chattering. agonized, it reminds the
listener Of the call of some great bird
but somehow it does not sound as II
made by any feathered thing.
Surely 1t is a sound not often made or
heard, for squirrel nests are pretty well
made, and capacious, so, short of a storm
or some other natural mishap, the nest
lings are comparatively safe.
The late afternoon when the strange
cry rang down through the trees, the
watchers could make nothing of 1t.
A bird In distress?
The birds were feeding peacefully be-
meath the maple.
Again the cry rang out.
Only the bluejay has anything compa-
rable to It.
Ihere were, however, no jays in sight.
"A dark shape In the trees moved, and
then gave out that cry again.
1t was squirrel!
But still what had happened did not
register at all, until dog darted in, and
began nosing at something in the leaves
at the base of a tree
He has a bird!" was the thought.
Hurried motions at the dog caused 1t
to run away.
Hurried looks showed that it had
nothing In its mouth as it ran.
There at the foot of the tree Law a
strange object, indeed
The dog apparently had not hurt it.
1t was soft gray, with fine little tail.
out straight, not bushy; its head was
rather large, especially its mouth; there
was In the creature none of the somewhat
sinister look characteristic of the grown
squirrel
1t lay In the hand easily, and was lev
cold, but 1t breathed patiently and per-
sistently.
People have tried to raise them with
milk In medicine droppers, and some
nave succeeded, but it must be a task.
Hand warmth did not seem to helm
it any.
1t remained very cold, but still it was
very much alive.
Could the mother find it?
she was perhaps 80 feet high, now and
then sending forth her persistent scream.
louder than the cry of any bird. but
very much like one.
X X 4
The thing looked hopeless.
Evening star., 1939-08-28

She would not see the baby, no matter
where 1t was placed.
Birds are that way-once the baby IL
out Of the nest, they do not know how
to get 1t back, and let 1t die.
1t was difficult to believe that the
young squirrel had been blown out dur
Ing the storm of the night before.
But If not, how did 1t get at the base
Of the tree?
Its tail was particularly to be admired
1t reminded the observer Of q soft file
II a file could be soft.
1t was rodentlike, no doubt of 1t, but
with difference
Tails, Of course, can have character
and this little squirrels tail definitely
had it.
Still the mother was screaming for
her baby, but not daring to come down.
The dog was prancing to get at 1t.
First 1t became necessary to run the dog
away. Just why he had not seized the
baby IN his mouth was impossible to
say, but he hadn't. There was no sign of
hurt on 1t.
Carefully the little squirrel was placed
in broad and generous crotch of the
tree.
There it blended so well with the bark
that 1t was practically invisible.
Would the mother find it?
All humans present withdrew to a safe
distance in order to remove her fear.
AT once she stopped squealing, and
thrust her head far out.
Then, like flash, she came down the
trunk, seized the baby without looking
either to left or right, and went up a
few feet to another branch.
Carefully she laid her baby over the
limb, and began to nuzzle it.
Then deftly she licked 1t all over trv.
ing to restore warmth to its cold Nnohs
and body.
She seized the tiny creature by the
neck and went aloft with it to the nest
hid somewhere high UP.
She disappeared into the leaves and
that was the last the watchers saw of
the baby.
Whether it lived or died they did not
know.
When they thought of how cold it had
oeen, they wondered. But then they
hao watched the miracle at work, and
knew that the mother would restore II
II the thing were possible.
The way she came down the tree
found the baby and took care of if had
something in it of the thrill of a home
run in baseball game.

radios pouring out so-called music and
to add to the bedlam, laughter and
1ndianlike yells from young people going
in and out of all night places to "eat,
drink and be merry" They are every bit
as noisy as they would be at a corn
shucking out in the country.
The very beasts of the field and forest
have sense enough to lie down and rest
when night comes; but not these "civi-
lzed' thoughtless people who turn night
into day by reveling in activities leading
to lawlessness and crime The police
are supposed to see to it that nights are
not made hideous by those selfish
enough to want to disregard the rights
OF others. Their laxity only encourages
the revelers to resist further restraint,
and with free access to drugs and liquor
they tend to become wreckers of prop
erty and life on the highways all
because they were neither trained by
their parents nor forced by the laws on
our statute books to consider and respect
the rights, happiness and lives of their
fellow men.
A hardship is worked on dWellers in
apartment houses, built in zones sup
posed to be free from cheap, noisy business
shops such as hot dog and hamburger
stands. And yet these noisy nuisances
are permitted to keep open all night
under the windows of helpless working
people, lowering the desirability of the
neighborhood and wrecking its physical
and mental health. If they were closed
at midnight there would also be a great
stoppage of disorderly conduct and
crime, as they are often breeding places
for planned and plotted tragedies.

ShuttIecock

Almost completely overshadowed
by the European game of diplomacy
is minor but fascinating game OF
international battledore and shuttle
cock now being played on this side OF
the Atlantic. The battledores are the
immigration bureaus Of the United
States and of Cuba, and the shuttle
cock is certain Hahn Flukman,
refused entry into either country and
shuttled back and forth between both
of them until he is dizzy. The mo-
ment he lands he is locked up and
told to make himself comfortable un-
til the authorities decide what to do
with him. Days, weeks, or months
later he is informed that he cannot
stay, and ordered to pack up his
belongings and go on board. So he
grabs his toothbrush and again de-
parts, only to encounter the same
routine at the other end.
The trouble started In 1888 when
Flukman carelessly allowed himself
to be caught among band of aliens
being smuggled into the Florida keys.
When it was learned that he had a
wife and four children in Cuba he
was returned there. 1t was pretty
hard to get away from the fact that
he had been living there with his
family for ten years, but they made
game try, and underhandedly shot
him back. He made good landing
in Florida jail, was lobbed back to
the Havana calaboose, and from there
returned with thanks. Again he was
sent to Cuba, and batted back to
Florida. Once more the human shut
tlecock Is en- route to the Island Re-
public-a man without a country.
1t was not always thus. At one
time he belonged to Russia, which
now wants no part of him, as he
showed the bad taste in 1928 of CIV
ing up his allegiance to Stain. Com
rade Senor Mister Hahn Flukman is
definitely free lance. He says his
services as a citizen are open to any
nation that wants them, at half
price. The very moment he gets a
bid, he promises faithfully to re-
nounce his present citizenship in the
Atlantic Ocean and settle some place
where he can step outdoors without
getting his feet wet.

Objects to Night Noises
In Washington.

To the Editor of The Star:
Much has been said and little done
concerning the narrowing, nerve-rack-
ing noise permitted on the streets at
night. Some action should be taken by
citizens privately or through organiza-
ton to compel concrete action by those
In authority. From what We read in our
daily papers, 1t would seem that city
ofncials are concerned only with the
blowing Of horns. They are bad enough,
but other sounds also disturb the ear
