The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1943-04-29

As seen by some of his chagrined
friends the true explanation is very
simple. The reason Mr.. Roosevelt is
anxious to keep the newspapers from
finding out what goes on at the con-
ference is that nothing will go on
that is, nothing that will justify the
conference. That is a fact which the
President does not want made plain
to the people because it puts him in
q ridiculous position, which he would
dislike very much The idea for this
conference originated with him. He
Sprang it on his press conference al
most as soon as he mentioned it to
either his Agriculture or his State
Department and at a time when he
did not even have Food Administra-
tor The State Department heard
about it first when it received in
structions to send out the invitations
to thirty-one nations. The Agriculture
Department, which has to handle the
program, went to the President to
receive the proposals he wanted
made, only to discover that he had no
proposals. All he had was the idea Of
calling a conference.
M~"
That was last summer. The confer
ence, originally scheduled for Septem-
Der, was postponed until May. But,
even now, there are no proposals and
the officials who are going to run the
show are in a painful state of confus-
ion due to the fact that they have
nothing concrete to lay before the as
sembled delegate. They do not even
know yet who is going to preside
and the best informed opinion here is
that, aside from the oratorical words
Of welcome, the responses from the
visiting delegates and series Of
speeches by selected authorities, the
only possible outcome Of the confer
ence will be the passage of a set Of
Understanding but meaningless res
olutions, all couched in the most gen
eral terms.
In brief, this is one of those inter
national conferences which just might
as we'll not be held 1t will do no harm,
but it will not do much good. No one
has a real plan here, and no one is
bringing real plan from abroad.
Given a chance, it would not take any
good newspaperman two days after
the conference convened to find this
out. Undoubtedly, publication Of it
would be embarrassing to the Admin
istration, but as it concerns a post
war situation and the civilian pOpula
lions, it certainly would not affect the
war effort to inflict this embarrass-
ment, and it might do good by incul-
eating the notion that before another
international conference is called,
there ought to be some clear concep-
ton of what it could and should do.
knowledge of this situation is the
cause of considerable nervous strain
among those into whose lap the con-
ference has been pitched. These gen
tlemen are laboring hard to evolve
an agenda that will appear impress
sive and devise resolutions that will
make the conference seem worth
while. Perhaps they will succeed Ev-
cry effort will be made to keep it from
appearing that the delegates arriving
here from foreikn countries found

Riley, and he was to be called 'the
poet of the common people"
During his boyhood, Riley found
many ways of enjoying himself. Not
the least of these was in swimming,
and he was to tell about this sport
in a poem called THE Old Swimmin'
Hole"
AS young man, Riley spent his
time wandering up and down the
valley of the Ohio River. With
several other young men, he painted
signs for merchants. At later
time, he told about this work in the
following words:
Eve called our business the
Graphic Co. We had five or six
young fellows, all musicians as we'll
as handy painters, and we used to
capture the towns with our music.
"One fellow could whistle like a
nightingale. Another sang like an
angel and another played the banjo.
I scuff1ed with the violin.
"Our plan was to take one firm Of
each business in town, painting it's
advertisement on every road leading
to town."
For close to 10 years, Riley kept
on with his wandering. We are
told that. besides painting signs, he
appeared on the stage as an actor
and helped patent medicine man.
sell his wares.
In those years, he had free time
in which to compose verses and
songs. Although his work was not
to be published until later. he laid
the groundwork for it to a certain
extent.
At length. Riley obtained work on
newspaper in a small Indiana city.
Besides acting as reporter, he
wrote poems and several OF them
were published in the paper.
The next change took Riley to
Indianapolis, and there he joined
the staff of paper known as the
Daily Journal. Again he composed
poems for publication, and readers
were pleased with them.
At the age of "a, Riley saw his
first book in print. 1t had the title
of The Old Swimmin' Hole and
'Leven More Poems"

The bidding:

West opened his singleton dia-
mond. Declarer won with the blank
jack, and, probably engrossed in the
pleasant pastime of deciding how to
spend his winnings from the rub
ber, automatically laid down the
course, to win the second trump
lead in dummy, discard on the
three high diamonds, ruff a diamond
if necessary and claim 13 tricks.
He was snapped out of his reverie
when East threw off on the first
trump lead. Now-too late-he saw
that his contract was in jeopardy.
Attempting to recover, he hastily
led the club jack. West won and
shifted to a heart, forcing dummy
to ruff. Now South discarded two
hearts on dummy's high clubs, ruf1ed
the last club in his own hand and
another heart in dummy, but his
position was hopeless. On the
forced diamond lead from dummy
if declarer ruffed low he would be
overruffed; If he ruffed high he
would promote a trump trick for
West.
If this contract had not appeared
so easy, South would have probably
''rolled it home" At rubber bridge,
where an ev.rtrick is inconsequen-
tial ESPECIALLY where a slam is in
volved), the correct play at the
second trick was not trump, but
the club jack. After that play, it
would have been the defenders who
were in a hopeless position.

Social agencies on the home front have, among
their vital tasks, those of keeping up morale and
keeping down divorce, dies ztion, broken homes
