Recalls F. D. RS Democratic Critics
To the Editor of The Star
In reply to criticism of Frank Kent's recent
column by one F. r. M, find 1t most oppor-
tune to defend the columnist.
In the first place. we need go no further than
our own memories to recall what Mr.. Kent has
written.
AS was pointed out by the columnist, "the
friends" who rush to F. D. RS defense have
no concrete argument. They always retreat to
immaterial details of the past and repeatedly
evade the record.
Certainly, such men as Farley, Garner,
George, Tydings and many other conservative
Democrats show no signs Of verbal or written
defense OF their former leader. There is no
question as to the seriousness of some OF the
astounding charges made by prominent party
men in reference to the late President. 1t is
most important then to know the truth before
we conclude his greatness in stature as parallel
with Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln.
It is interesting to note that much Of the
criticism of the late President has come from
his own party and his own close associates.
1t is apparent that F. r. NJ has at hand
much statistical information in view Of his sub
initial of the Gallup poll coverage. Certainly,
it would seem the gentleman would have some
thing more convincing than poll dated 1910
on whom would you like TO see elected Pres-
dent this year."
The third and fourth term precedent set
forth by the late President apparently has
proven to have some repercussions in the game
of politics since there Is bill passed by both
houses outlawing third term for any Pres-
dent now being ratified by the States.
I think this act of Congress alone so soon
after F. D. RS death gives proof enough of
their measurement of his greatness.

ed banks. You get a boat and
row about streams.
Both the paddler and the party
who is to catch the gator, have
flashlights. Once while serving as
the paddler we had no emergency
fiiashlig ht and a woman up for
ward had dropped hers over
board. Result of this was that a
three foot alligator took her by
the wrist and badly lacerated it
before We slung him overheard.
The woman up forward who is
to catch the alligator, we will as
sumo that it is a woman who is
to do this as Miss Emma Lou
HARRISON of Orton Plantation is
the best alligator catcher we
know of. She gets in the bow with
her fashlight and plays it over
the water in search of the crea-
lures shining eyes. They shine
like two red balls of fire. When
she sees a'gaitor, that she wants
she trains her flashlight rays to
bear steadily on it and the
paddler follows her cue, moving
the craft silently on the quarry.
Close enough, the lady reaches
over, grabs the gator by the
scuff OF the neck and brings him
in the boat.
Once We were padding. Miss
HARRISON was catching alliga-
tors. Two college girls were sit
ting together arnidships of the
boat. Miss HARRISON caught a
three footer and throWed him
down in the bottom of the boat.
With a great t%hrashing of his tail
he headed west by south towards
the stern where l was. 1t was
so dark he could barely be seen,
Is at all. AS he passed under the
girls sitting amidship they went
up in the air. They landed stand
ing on their seats, and both being
expert dancers they were able to
do pretty well. Miss HARRISON
was too occupied with laughing,
but 1 had more serious views of
the boat getting upset by the
screaming passengers unless the
alligator was back overheard in
il time. Grabbing around for him
in the bottom of the boat, he grab
bed first and it is possible that I
howled worse than the two girls
amidships.

When group of disgruntled
linotype operators walked out of
the composing room of the st.
Petersburg Independent about a
year ago and set up their picket
lines, it was "just another strike"
to the average layman.
II now develops that the effect
of that strike, which incidental
~ failed in its purpose, was to
set wheels in motion that even
tually will rob every liontype OPP
orator in the country of his job
and every printer as well.
In self defense and for the pro-
lection of their property the own
ers and publishers of the two st.
Petersburg dailies joined forces
called on the engineering skill
of one William J. Higgins, inven-
tor and engineer, who worked
out a process of printing newspa-
pers without the services of eth
or printers or liontype opera
tors.
II was purely experimental and
designed as an emergency meas
ure but it enabled the papers to
continue publication. Later they
returned to the old method. But
the printing industry long haras-
sed by unreasonable and arbitra-
ry demands of unions heard the
story.
Last month from the office of
John II. Perry came the an

The metal in this new plate
weighs less than pounds as

SUM plate failed to reveal the

At present only one type face

but before long $50 interchange
able faces will be available an a
