The Republicans specialize in Abraham Lincoln, of course; and lately they have begun to enshrine Theodore Roosevelt in an, adjacent niche. The Democrats' start wifcli Thomas Jefferson, pause to bend the knee before .the figure of Andrew Jackson, and then drop the rest of their wreaths at the feet of Woodrow Wilson. But most of those great men who . are now so highly I praised by their political descendants fell far short of win ning such Complete devotion from their followers during life. Lincoln, for example, is now on a pedestal. But the dawn of 1865 found his party bitterly divided. A large sec tion was almost incredibly hostile to him, and if Booth had not killed him, Lincoln would have felt the wrath of the radicals instead of Johnson. His attempts to save the South from the horrors of the reconstruction period in the fate sixties would have exposed Lincoln to that same blind hos tility of those in his party who ultimately tried to throw Johnson out of office. Roosevelt, likewise, was not atways the idol of his entire party; he was roundly snubbed in 1912 and he had to break the party in half and help elect Wilson in order to win back his place in the councils of the Republican party. And Wilson, before his public career was ended, sat at the head of a divided party. Not all the votes that killed the bright hopes of the Treaty of Versailles in the United States senate came from the Republican side; and in the campaign of 1920 there were plenty of party leaders who found it expedient to slay out of the battle for the great Wil sonian doctrines. Not until after his death did the Demo cratic party really enshrine him. Such is the lot of any leader who has definite principles and convictions and is willing to uphold them even when the .members of his own piirty turn against him. STILL PAY INC! FOR WAR si It isn't often that you see an English date lino over a story about violent combats between- unemployed men and the, police. The recent clash in London, in which several thou sand men fought with the police for hours arid sent nearly twoscore to the hospitals, was decidedly out of the ordinary. Bloody riots in English cities ar not common events. !c But no country is immune from such things these days. England, Germany, America the roar of the mob has been heard everywhere, and that it signifies a deep and far reaching dissatisfaction with things as they are, a feeling shared by the submerged masses verywhere, is too obvious to deny. In pait this international unrest may be a protest against an economic order that needs revision. In part it is simply a blind and unreasoning outburst against hunger and want. But if you study it long enough, you cannot fail to trace its main roots directly back to the World war. That, of course, is a matter of common knowledge. Rut it is a fact that must be kept constantly in mind these days. The hardships that the world is undergoing these days, the hardships that find ugly expression in ominous riots, are simply part of the price that we are still paying for the in sane conflict of 1914-18. War, in short, is luxury for which one must keep on paying, in the most painful way, for years after the dale of purchase. To be sure, this is all water under the bridge, as far as the last war is concerned. We are paying for a dead horse, and there isn't much we can do about it. But we might re member the whole thing the next time our nation finds itself in a spot where it must decide whether it will have peace or war. In such a moment, we might remember that the cost of war is not to be reckoned solely in the lives lost and money spent during the conflict itself. Horrible as those losses are, they are only a part of the bill; in some ways, not the worst part of it. . Long after the war ends, its dislocating effects arc still in operation. Today, 14 years after the armistice, we have want and suffering and violence as our installment. It will ' not l)e different in the next war. i WILLIAM MOHU1S MRS NEW YORK.

Al Smith's Noo Jolsoy speech was either the rottencst political platform ad drew ever delivered In behalf of any party In this or any other coun try, or else It marked the deepest strategy- ever employed by any cam paign spellbinder. Anyway It was the most astounding. Ha devoted mott of his time to digging in the 1028 graveyard 'ex huming old scores in order to (rive everyone and every element connected with them "the wolks." After pay ing hie personal respects to all those who contributed to his defeat four years ago, which consumed most of the "radio' nour. ne spent tne re malnlng time In telling the world that he wrote the Democratic wee pianic and that the dumb democrats at tho Houston convention cheated him out of the presidency four years ago, oy lanure to neea rus lar-sceing ua vice on the booze Issue, It takes a wizard to Interpret that speech, and we turn therefore to B. miko, wno pacxs its wnoie purport; into seven analytical words "Vote for Rooxovei, mentis; to avenge ai. However, there Is a serious aspect to that apeecn a porcenuous aspect Tho seriousness of the situation lies in this thought "Who will bo presi dent lr Kooeeveit is eiccteu?" Franklin D.

(Tins itiunu) tne .Democrats put him up as a candidate for vice president. His pitiful efforts in that role to be a swashbuckler almost put him Into oblivion. .,. But the rugged old politician Al Smith was grooming himself for the presidency. He picked Roosevelt tp be his successor as governor. The rough and ready Al from the side walks of New York and the halls of Tammany needed him for scenic ef fects. Al picked mm as the parsley to the fish. For four years he has talked vacu ous nothings. Taxes have rolled up to tho highest ever Known in New York and yet ho has not even made protest. The city of New York broke. The scandals of Wall street are at his door unprotested. He feebly tries to blame these market orgies on Hoover although the New York stock market is in uirect control of his own office. He hedged and cringed on the Tammany scandals ana pumiciy aDUsea juagc ueaoury for his diligent work In uncovering tho scandals of Jimmy Walker. It was only after the work had been done that the investigators of Wal ker got any support from Roosevelt, and then he came in at the killing. Ho ib now finishing his campaign, master fault-flndor, nccuscr and abuser, but a pitiful fltfure as a statesman; without having taken a single out and out stand on any one of the groat Issues that confront his countrymen; a mere pussy-footing politician content to duck and dodge on every question; content to 1001 tho people by pretended answers that l:eveal nothing a grinning Pclly annn without courago to take a firm stand on any Issue.

Yea. Jim Farley, Tammany's prime minister; Roosevelt's campaign man ager and political mentor what will ho have to say? Will the scandalous hand of Tammany reach directly In to tho White House for the first time in the history of this country? Is this the type "tho Lord God made and gave to have dominion" over this greot nation at this crucial time? That is the question for YOU, and YOU, and YOU of whatever po litical or religious faith.

A crowd of 150,000 people listened as Italy's dictator demanded a "clean slate," ontl acclaimed the sentiments expressed. A few hours later MMssotlnl. wear ing his fascist "black shirt" uniform, rovlewcd on impressive display of Ital ian military strength. During tho review, which lasted move than an hour, DOO.OOO troops maneuvered for the fascial dictator while 200 air plane circled overhead. The display included motor sections. Infantry, cav alry, artillery, tanks, cyclists and the famous Bersagllerl corps. Tho Inconsistency of these two events may not be apparent in Itoly. but Americans are not so obtuse Fo.r Italy's display of military strength la concrete evidence of why that na tion cannot pay Its war debts. Italy Is so busily engaged In pro paring for the next war that she cannot pay Just obligations incurred during tho loBt one. Hence, tho stir ring appeal to tho American people to "foot thcMI."
