UNCLE RAYS CORNER

When I was about 10 years old. an
event took place which made me feel
sorry afterward. 1t was my fault
but had no idea about it before
hand. This is how it happened:
1 was riding one night on a day
coach, which did not have many
people in it. After I boarded it,
rather tired and sleepy, I sat down
in one of those wide fashioned
seats which swing back and forth
when you push them. They still are
in use on many trains.
Wishing to make myself comfort
able by using two of the double
seats, instead of one, I looked ahead
of me and found the seat vacant
at least it looked that way.
Instead of standing up to push the
seat over, I showed against it while
stayed in my seat. 1t seemed to be
stuck, so I showed harder.
That moved the seat, but heard
q noise, and hardly a second later
q sailor In uniform picked himself
OIL the floor! He had been curled

up on the seat which had seemed
vacant!
OF course, I told the sailor I was
sorry, and hadn't know he was on
the seat AS quickly as I could, I put
the back of the seat where it had
been before and the sailor lay down
on it again.
If, by any chance, that sailor reads
these words, I hope he will know I
still am little worried over what
happened. I'd never want to treat
fellow traveller in such q way! Ever
since, I've been extremely careful to
look at the seat itself, not just glance
over the back of it. when I've made
change of the kind!
Perhaps not many persons have
mad such a thing happen to them,
put you may remember times when
you have hurt some ones feelings
without meaning to do so. Prob
ably your feelings haye been hurt
by others in the same way.

In a rubber bridge game Howard

contract that would have been a lay

fact that East held all four trumps
banked against him. West opened

and expectantly laid down the ace
OF spades. When West failed to fol-

situation gloomily, saw that now
only miracle could save the con-
tract, which, however, was worth
trying for in view of the large bonus.
Mr.. Schenken LED a low diamond,
f1nessed dummy's jack, then played
a spade through East. East split

ruffed a diamond. Now a second

In order to make his contract Mr..

The Political Mill
Postmaster General Farley in Strategic
Position in Presidential Jockeyinq

tary Hopkins, Solicitor General
Jackson, Secretary Wallace are all
regarded as 100 per centers. Post
master General Farley and Secre-
tary Hull may regard themselves
as stanch administration men, as
they undoubtedly are, but whether
the New Deal inner circle considers
them 100 per cent is another matter.
Senators Clark, Tydings, Harrison
and Byrd are ants. Vice President
Garner and McNutt are eyed
askance by the New Dealers, though
neither one of them has publicly
broken with the administration.
Gamers Friends Optimistic.
Vice President Garner his friends
claim, already has in his pocket
some 200 delegates to the next con-
vention. Such claims are visionary,
of course, and based on promises of
LEADERS" since no delegates will be
specifically named for a long time
yet. And certainly to important ad-
ministration officers, Mr.. Garner
now appears more than a receptive
candidate for the nomination.
Aside from personalities, the
main issue to be decided on the
Democratic side of the fence is
whether a New Deal Democrat of
the 100 per cent variety is to be
nominated, an anti-NeW Dealer, or
compromise candidate, halfway
between the extremes. The Presi-
dent already has declared himself
for a 100 per cent New Dealer-in
his Jackson Day speech. He might
take a compromise candidate, but
he would certainly fight like a steer
, against an anti-NeW Dealer.
The recent interchange between
Elliott Roosevelt and John Boetti-
ger, son and son-in-laW respective
ly of the President, over the third
| term issue, reused suspicion in some
quarters that it was planted" and
intended to bring the. issue definite
ly to the fore. But second thought
convinced some of the suspicious
at least that this was not the case.
Jim Farley Looms Large.
AS the time for lining up dele
gates to the next Democratic Ma
tional Convention approaches, there
is one Democrat who looms large
Jim Farley. chairman of the DEM
ocratic National Committee. That
was his task in 1881 and 1882. 1t
was an easy task for him in 1896.
1t is apparent that the man who
has Mr.. Farley in his corner in
| 1899 and 1910 will have a big ad-
vantage. For he built up the present
Democratic organization; he is con-
stantly in touch with it, and he has
great amount of personal inf1u-
ence. In some quarters, Mr.. Farley
is credited with having presidential
aspirations himself, and barring an
ambition to be first on the ticket,
to be the Vice President nominee.
If the President should determine
to run, he would, it seems entirely
likely, turn to Mr.. Farley for dele
gates to the convention. If he is not
to run, then he will want Mr.. Far
ley to line up delegates for his
favorite candidate. 1t looks on the
surface as though the Postmaster
General was in a strategic position.
Certainly, despite all reports of his
