Politicians Believe Roosevelt
Now Campaigning for Third Term

WASHINGTON. - Politics long
has been described as a game, and it
is. In consequence, there are GER
tain rules to be followed. They are
rules that are born of experience,
and the participants in the game
of politics know full well what will
happen when those rules are vio-
lated. go: #%G r
Outstanding among these rules
none of which are written, of course
lis thorough understanding by
a President Of the United States
that he must remain silent about
his choice Of successor just as
long as it is possible to do so. 9th
erwise, he obviously loses some Of
the support that he can command
from members of his party. Any
pronouncement that he favors this
one or looks like disfavor upon that
one Immediately produces a split.
Those not blessed with the presi-
Dental smile become embittered
and assert their enmity.
Another rule is that once a man
is elected President, he automat-
ically becomes candidate for q
second term. This results from the
fact that whether he is good, bad
or Indifferent as the head of the
political party that sponsored him
that party cannot dump him over
board for the sake of the party It.

Now, however, there Is a new con-
dition developing for which nc
apparent or obvious rule exists

country that no President shall seel

The problem that now confronts
the politicians, and about which
there IS no rule, concerns President
Roosevelt's course. According to
old precedent, Mr. Roosevelt Is UNI
der no compulsion to suggest whom
he favors as successor. Indeed,
he would be borrowing trouble were
he to do so at this time. But men,
bers of his own party and voters
generally are wondering more and
more whether he intends to seek q
third nomination and election, and
thus climax his record as q breaker
of precedents. -....-. s-.
There are many political leaders

Looking forward to an experience
in life which promises to be both in
teresting and profitable always
brings glow of expectation. Some
thing of that spirit should pervade
the Bible schools of our land as
they begin six-months study in the
Gospel Of Matthew.
Consideration of our Lords life
properly starts with the story of His
birth. but we reserve that for our
Christmas lesson. Today we stress
the manner in which the Child Je
sus was received into the world.
Men then as now, were either for
Him or against Him. God had only
one attitude, that of loving protec-
ton and preparation of His Son for
His ministry.
i. Christ in the World of Men.
The world of today is far differ
ent from that of the first century.
but the difference is all on the out
side. Almost breath taking have
been the developments of modern
civilization, but these have not
changed the heart of man. He still
fears and hates and fights and sins.
His attitude toward Christ is un-
changed. There are still only two
classes Of people in the world-those
who have received Christ and are
saved and those who have rejected
Him and are lost
l. Against Christ.
How do men show their rejection
of Gods Son? Just as they did at
His birth, by: a. Fear Herod was
afraid lest the coming of this one
should result in the loss of his i'll
gotten gains. His anger and fear
made all Jerusalem afraid. b. In
asked where Christ was to be born,
the priests and scribes knew exactly
where to find the facts in the Holy
Scriptures. but having done so, they
relapsed into utter Indifference.
They had no interest in the fulfill
ment of the prophecy. C. Hatred.
Herod poured out the violence of his
heart by killing the first-born He
was the first of many who have ragged
against the Christ in futile anger.
d. Sorrow. The tears of the mothers
of Jerusalem but foreshadowed the
weeping and wailing which charac-
terizes Christ-rejection both in time
and eternity.
e For Christ.
Thanks be to God. there were
those in that day who were for Christ
and, like those who follow Him to-
day, they showed: a. Spirituality.
Men have marveled that the Magi
Knew of the birth OF Christ. They
must have studied the prophecies OF
the Word and been responsive to the
teaching and moving of the Holy
Spirit. Can we say as much for
ourselves? b. Interest. Not content
to know and to marvel, they shamed
the priests of Israel by their per-
sistent interest in this great thing
which had come to pass. C. Love.
They brought themselves in worship
and they brought rich gifts from
their treasures. You can give with
out loving, but you cannot love with
out giving d. Action. They came.
They persisted until they found the
Christ. Then they listened to God
and protected His Son by not re-
turning to Herod.
III. Christ in Gods World.

the world They had rejected His

DOORN, The Netherlands, Jan. a..
Silver haired former Kaiser Will
helm II, radiant with health, today
received congratulations from Ho-
henzollerns, German mobiles and
Doom charwomen on his 80th birth
day.
Wearing striped trousers, black
coat and winged collar, the former
German ruler entertained scores of
guests and his immediate family in
his modest castle. Doom Manor.
The occasion brought together the
largest assemblage of Hohenzollerns
since Wilhelm celebrated his 10th
birthday. but there was none of
the pomp of 10 years ago. This time
the brilliant uniforms of pre-war
days will not be worn until tonight
at the gala dinner.
Although the ex-kaiser received
many gifts, there were none of any
consequence from Germany as there
were 10 years ago.

Perkins Impeachment
Probe Due 10 Take
Many Weeks
House Group Members
Settle Down to Study
Of Labor Reports
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Members of the House Judiciary
Committee predicted today that
their study of a request for i'm
peachment Of Secretary of Labor
Perkins would require many weeks
and possibly months.
Representative Thomas, Repub-
lican, Of New Jersey, accused Secre-
tary Perkins, James L. Houghteling
immigration commissioner, and
Gerard D. Reilly, Labor Department
solicitor, of high crimes and mis-
demeanors" for failing to resume
deportation proceedings against
Harry Bridges, West Coast c. I. O.
maritime leader.
AS the committee members settled
down to a careful stud of court
and department reports, they said
they would have these three choices
on completion of their work:
l. Recommendation that the House
vote articles of impeachment for
trial in the Senate.
2. Complete exoneration, with q
formal report to the House.
3. A resolution of censure, which
would conclude the matter and
would not require further action
either by the committee or the
House.
1t became known, meanwhile, that
some committee members looked
forward to an imminent decision Of
the Supreme Court in the case Of
Joseph Strecker, similar in many
respects to the Labor Department
litigation concerning Bridges.
Once the court acts, Miss Perkins
said, "the department will promptly
proceed in all other cases in the
manner indicated by that decision. "
Representative Thomas contended
the Strecker and Bridges cases were
dissimilar and one could not be used
legitimately as an excuse for delay
ing the other.
