ITS bad enough when the con-

there are only two run-off candi-
dates trying to make it appear they
are the overwhelming choice Of the

point Of view.
Nobody seemed to doubt the
governors ability to have the con-
vention date SET Tor whatever time
he chooses, however, and SO if it is
the well-considered Hoey view that
it should be held earlier than usual,
then it will be, the consensus agrees.
All of which doesn't change the
impression in many circles that the
proposition is just another example
of the crafty manipulation Of North
Cardinals politics for the personal
glory and benefit of the Shelby
Gang whose chief is universally
admitted to be O. Max Gardner.
There is more than ordinary re-
sentiment in the so-cailed liberal
camp over the use of a ''Hoey 1or
President" movement as decoy TO
turn the national delegation over to
Gardner and his playmates, lock,
stock and barrel. Most of the re-
senters would be willing, and even
anxious, to support Hoey if they
thought he had even the ghost of
chance, but there aren't ten people
of normal political acumen who
think the North Cardinals COVER
nor will even be seriously con-
sidered as the nominee.

"Oh, Lord" Fabienne prayed, II
haven't asked much of you. 1 don't
know how to say prayers, but
please help me to do SOMETHING!
don't know what to do. Please
tell me what to do and I'll do any,
thing You ever ask OF me again."
It was the first prayer Fabienne
ever had voiced.
And it was Immediately an
sWered.
Suddenly she KNEW what to do.
It was as clear as if it had been
written on the Windshield before
her, where big white snowfakes
were beginning to cling. The storm
she had feared was coming.
She turned off on a side road at
Stamford.
Instantly, Chris said, stay on
the parkway"
NO, Chris. I've got better idea.
I know where we can go and be
safe. We would not be safe in Bos-
ton. Wen be where we're going
shortly and you and Sonny can be
put to bed and kept warm. No one
in the world would ever think of
looking for us there"
"Wherc ." Chris asked, guarded
but alert tone in her voice which
had become raspy.
"A friend of mine has a little
house he uses in the summertime.
It's between Stepney and New
| town."
There wasn't anything else she
could do that night, but in the
morning she could telephone Bill
and have him come out. Bills broad
shoulders could take on bigger
burdens than this.
She said no more, devoting her
self to difficult driving, leaning her
head out of the window to find the
road she had travelled but twice.
The snow was getting thicker and
she could scarcely see the road
ahead of her.
For some time she thought that
she was lost. Then she saw the big
red barns at the corner where the
side road and the state road met.
Bills house was half a mile down
the side road.
When they got there and she
parked the car, she found she could
hardly stand. "A fine pair of kid
napers we are" she said, lifting
Sonny from Chris arms. II hope
this snow is over by morning"

Fabienne placed the still sleeping
child in her arms. She ran around
and got in the other side and start
ed the motor.
When it was running but the car
not yet in motion. she said. This
is a desperate thing, Chris, and
heaven only knows what'll happier
to us, but seem to be in it now"
"Stay on the East Side and take
the Bronx River parkway" Chris
directed.
We'll never get to Boston to-
night. We're mad! AS soon as the
nurse discovers Sonny is gone.
she'll send for the police and they'll
get us before we're out of the
state".
Drive fast" Chris said, bending
lovingly over her child. grading it
hungrily.
Chris met few cars on the road,
and when she got on the parkway
she opened up, driving sixty miles
and more an hour. Don't you know
that your mothers place is the first
place they'll look for you?"
Il won't let them find me until
Larry gets back. I'll find a way. 1
won't let you turn back now, Fa-
bienne. If you turn ME and Sonny
over to the police, I'll kill myself.
I don't want to live without
Sonny. My life has been hell for two
years. This is my chance to save
our happiness"
After that, Fabienne fell into
deep silence, driving steadily, keep
ing her eyes OF the road, her ear
attuned for the sound OF a motor
cycle.
Christine coughed two or three
times and turned the collar Of her
coat up around her ears.
Fabienne looked at her anXiously,
a new fear beginning to tug at her.
AS if she did not have enough to
worry about with lifetime SEN
tence in prison ahead OF her, now
there was Chris health to worry
her. Chris cough was sharp and in
the light from the dashboard she
could see the bright spots of color
on her cheeks.
They had to stop once for gas.
Keep low, and pull the rug over
Sonny" she instructed.
Can you get a glass Of water?
I'm awfully thirsty" Chris said,
and began to cough again.
Fabienne got the water and
brought it back to her. When their
hands touched. it was like touching

COMPILING. GOVERNMENT
AGENCY EDICTS
Nevada State Journ.aD

At Washington the government PRINT
ing office has just completed the sew
enth volume of the Code of Federal Reg
ulations. 1t brings down to the word
Indians" in the alphabetical arrange
mcnt of titles, all the regulations having
the force of laws promulgated by federal
boards and commissions up 10 June |,
1898.
According to Nations Business, when
the compilation is complettd probably
in l94l, The National Archives will begin
codfying the regulations issued since
the work was begun last year.
The Code of Federal Regulations will
finally become seventeen volumes, OF
total of some 27.OOO pages, which is con-
siderably larger than the Encyclopedia
Britannica.
When this codfication is finished the
task of the lawyer in advising his busl-
ness client as to what he can or cannot
do will be simplified to some extent at
least He will first 90 through the prop
er titles in the seventeen volumes. Fail
ing to find any prohibition there. he will
consult the six supplementary volumes.
If the search still reveals no federal
ruling against his contemplated action,
he will then consult the Federal Register
and finally run through the mimeograph-
ed current orders of the administrative
agency involved.
At present, as President Frank Hogan
said at the annual meeting of the Amer
lean Bar association, a lawyer does not
know how to advise his client on bus-
ness matters. And each of these regula-
tons is the law, exactly as if it had been
enacted by congress. Many carry penal
ties of fine and imprisonment. All were
promulgated by officials who are not
elected by the people or responsible dir
ectly to the people.
One federal agency alone makes more
quasi judicial decisions in year than
all the federal courts combined, includ-
ing bankruptcy orders. according to Col
O. f. Mcclure of the Bar association.
There is urgent need for the passage
by congress Of the Logan-Walter bill
which would curb those federal agencies
1t would require the holding of hearings
before a new regulation was handed
down. Above all it would give the vic
tim the right of appeal to the courts and
have the facts as well as the law review

The whole record of recent years
in Europe is written in the tragic
fact that there was no place at
which those opposed to German

is good hope that the American con-
tinents are not going to be caught

DEMOCRACY ISN'T TREASON

The Fifth Column scare has developed
its humorous side in Imperial Valley, as
elsewhere. AS usual, some folks nave
| leaped the traces of common sense and
are running wild with eyes that see spy
behind every bush and a traitor in every
political opponent.
Authorities got one "hot tip recently
that was an example of several. A GER
tain group in the county was reported as
a Fifth Column unit, without doubt. The
informer, questioned farther, explained
that the persons he referred to had been
overheard critcizing President Roose-
welt! That, in his mind, made them Fifth
COMMUNISTS.
The incident approaches too close to
the hysterical to be humorous, even. But
it does demonstrate the danger in allow
ing our fear to run away with our COM
mon sense.
The thing We're all hoping for, in
wishing for an Allied victory in Europe
is the preservation of democracy. The
easiest way to defeat our own desires is
to become so frightened that we attempt
to force all of our own people into one
way of thought, one school of politics.
Democracy cannot thrive without free
discussion of individual beliefs - and
when we attempt to censor the thoughts
of those who do not believe as we do,
we're striking a blow against democracy,
not for it.

ican continents, by the, free and
independent condition which they
have assumed and maintain, are
henceforth not to be considered as
subjects for future colonization by
6ny European powers . - That
was 1T years ago. We have held to
it ever since.
But Monroe went further. He
added that we should consider any
attempt on their part to extend
their system to any portion Of this
hemisphere as dangerous to our peace
and safety" He said we must view
as unfriendly ANY interposition for
the purpose of expressing them, OF
controlling in any matiher their
destiny
That Is crystal clear. 1t was true
and sound III years ago, 1t is 20
times true today.
Whatever the result of the war in
Europe, the 81 American republics

no transfer of American soil from
