Pf Al Smith Is Fighting
Roosevelt
A L SMITH comes to the front again with the statement that
he is in the presidential fight to a finish and will be a
stalking horse for no one.
Like most political statements this one should be taken with
a grain of salt.
Al Smith is in the fight to a finish, for to be anything else
at the present time would be to
But lie iB too clever a politician to believe for a moment
that he has the slightest chance to win. Me knows, as far as
the presidency is concerned, lie is through.
So in reality he IS a "stalking horse" a stalking horse to
kill off Roosevelt, although neither Al Smith, nor any other
public man, assuming that role, would admit it.
OVEBNOR Roosevelt pays he can't understand this. After
all he did to help Al during the past 10 years, he can't
understand why Al should not only refuse to help him, but try
to stab him in the back.
No doubt Roosevelt is perfectly sincere in his mystification.
For he is essentially a very idealistic and trusting young man.
He regards politics as a thrilling sport, which should bo played
according to the rules of good sportsmanship, with noblesse
oblige, as a cardinal principle of the code.
A L SMITH suffers from no such illusions. He wasn't edu
cated at Harvard. He was educated at Tammany Hall and
on the sidewalks of New York. Which is only another way of
saying he recognizes no purely
SONAL ones.
And in breaking with the

the point.
Al Smith is a sincere wet and always has been ; he is a sincere
advocate of "America first" and always has been; he is a
two-fisted rough and tumble fighter, who whatever his faults,
not now and never has been a stroddler.
Governor Roosevelt's record shows he has been on both sides
of both these issues and on nearly EVERY important issue
has been everything by fits and

League of Nations.
For years he was bone-dry, personally and politically. Back
in 1911 he sponsored the first local-option bill brought to New
York by the anti-saloon league, and announced that hard
liquor had never passed his lips or his threshold. A few years
later he was campaigning for Al Smith on a wet platform.
Accused of being a Wet in 1930, he denied the accusation
and publicly declared a national referendum would disclose the
country to be dry.
A few months later, apparently convinced of his mistake,
he came out as a "modificationist," yet despite this conversion,
he secretly mobilized southern drys against Raskob 'a request,
that the Democratio national committee consider the matter of

In short, the Roosevelt record shows that he is merely
jinother politician, a trimmer.
he ISN'T a trimmer, and down deep he has a hearty contempt
for the breed.
So there is the real reason Al Smith is opposing the nomina
tion of the man who was responsible for nominating HIM.
In this effort it is a ten to one shot Al will fail. Everything
today points to Roosevelt's nomination, and Al Smith's perma
nent disappearance from the political stage of this country, in
any major role.
But that doesn't bother Al. He will have the satisfaction
of knowing that in his "last stand," he was true to himself,
to his convictions, and to his friends. And that is the "Tarn
manv sidewalks of New York" code.

CHICAGO, 111., April 8.-
This morning was spent at Chi
cago's "A Century of Pro
gress" International exposition
with Rufus C. Dawes as guide.
Mr. Dawes says the exposition
will open on the date fixed,
June 1, 1933, or earlier. And
since he says so, it will open.
The site of the exposition,
with Lake Michigan on the
east, the great city of Chicago
on the west, north and south,
could not be more beautiful or
more impressive.
Everything that a great ex
position should have this one
will have. In addition, progress
and science being emphasized
above all else, will give to the
exposition an educational value,
that should not be neglected by
any American, parents especi
ally.
Oreat Industrie and business en-
terprlaes will have separate buildings
of their own. General Motors, Seara
Roebuck. Chrysler, and many othera.
Chicago and the whole country owe
thank to Mr. Dawes for the valuable
time and Intelligent Industry that he
ha devoted to thl exposition.
The light of the great star A returns
by means of a photo-electric cell will
put In motion the machinery of the
building of sciences when the expos!
tlon opens.
Arcturus was selected because of
It brilliancy and because the light of
that sun travels forty years through
the ether, at 180,000 miles per second
before It reaches this planet.
The Chicago World's Columbian ex
position opened Just forty years ago
and the light of Arcturus that will
atart this exposition left the distant
aun as the last Chicago exposltlpn
opened.
That should stimulate your Imagi
nation. Light come from our aun

far Arcturu must be, Its light taking
forty year to get here. And if that

think about the distant nebulae
whence light comes to us after trav
eling a million years and more.
You must see Chicago's exposition
and have your business represented
there If you have a business worth
showing.

New York In gang killings but does

, THE COLDS
The Inhabitant! of St. Hilda, aays
an editorial writer In the Atlanta
Constitution, believed that strangers
landing on the
Island caused
the colds which
Invariably fol
lowed the ar
rival of a ship.
Neither Dr.
Johnson nor
Boswell could
ferret out the
reason for the
predicament 1 n
which St. Kild
ana found them
selves, a situation so serious that
at one time they thought of inter
dicting the landing of strangers.
Fortunately, shortly after Boswell
recorded the coincidence of ships
snd colds, an English pastor solved
the mystery. Here Is his explana
tion: The cause is a natural one.
The situation of St. KUda rend
ers a northeast wind neceasary
before a stranger can land. The
wind, not the atranger. occasions
an epidemic cold.
Now wouldn't that please some of
those old fogies who hold jobs as
health commissioners around this
wiseacre country? The mystery of
the thing, to my mind. Is that Or.
Johnson muffed it. I am not at all
astonished that a pastor, and es
pecially an English one, hopped
right In where Johnson feared to
tread, and gave the commoners the
rights of It.
Whatever 'colds' were in those
days.
Today everybody knows what a
"cold" or "the common cold" Is, yet
nobody with any professional stand
ing has the courage to define it
In spite of everything, though, I
think we have advanced intellectual
ly slnre Dt. Johnson's day, for even
the health commissioners who still
Issue bulletins about the cause and
prevention of "colds" now concede
that when the disease is epidemic
It Is due to Infection from some
one else who has It, be he friend
or stranger. The old timers no
longer have the temerity to tell
the dumb public that northeast
winds cause epidemics. That line
of buncombe passed into history
along with the good old shotgun
quarantine against yellow fever.
If the pastor who solved the
mystery of the colds of St. KUda
were living today what a grand
customer he would be for the var
ious cough drops, gargles, lozenges,
antiseptics and grip cures that catch
the sucker by handing htm a pic
ture of the victim In the very act
of contracting bad cold In a down
ployment, without irritating or in
juring any particular business.
The sales tax would cost Hearst at
least one million dollars a year for
the tax on newsprint alone, and other
editors In proportion to the size of
their paper bills.
A chain Is no stronger than Its
weakest link, and the human race
presumably is no stronger intellectu
ally than Its low average.
The good ship Hagen, a Hamburg
American freight ship, arrives In Bos
ton with two baby elephant and
thirteen monkeys, after a terrible
storm.
There were fourteen monkeys from
Java and the terrible tempest arose,
after one of them died, leaving the
unlucky thirteen. The sailors knew
what caused the tempest and wanted
to throw the remaining thirteen mon
keys overboard, but the captain saved
them. They were more fortunate
than 'Jonah. You remember what
happened to him when a storm came
up.
Uncle Sam's delegation to the so
called disarmament conference at
Qeneva, expresses the hope through
Secretary of State Stlmson that it
will be able to "curtail greatly the

Never Feed a Bellyache
A few years ago I read an article
In your column about the import
ance of not putting anything In
the stomach when a young person
has pain there. Later I was faced
with Just such an emergency, wnue
on a visit to another city my son,
aged seven, awoke from a sound
sleep at night with severe pain
in his stomach. I gave him noth
ing but an enema ... a few hours
afterward I called the doctor, who
picked him up In a blanket and
rushed film to the hospital, and
they operated Immediately and
found a gangrenous appendix. The
surgeon said that had I given the
boy a laxative he might have had
peritonitis. I have always Intended
to write and thank you. (H. B. B.J
Answer It Is a sound rule never
to give any kind of physic or cath-
nrctlc in the presence of a bellyache.
In my judgment not even an enema
should be used in such an emer
gency, unless the physician advises
It. Depend on heat to the feet
and moist heat over the seat of
pain.

THAT GUILTY FEELING
By Alice Judson Peale
A young woman who la described
by her employer a being accurate
and conscientious to a fault, is, ac
cording to her own confession, haunt
ed by & constant feeling of guilt.
When the head of her department
calls her into the office she Is sure
that it Is because she has made some
dreadful mistake and Is about to be
dismissed.
When In a ehop she picks up
some article to look at it, &he feels
Immediately that eyes are upon her
and that people think she Is steal
ing. If a friend returns to her some bor
rowed article she la overcome with
embarrassment which he tries to
hide under an elaborately casual
manner. She is humiliated as If It
were herself and not her friends who
had begged and received a favor.
While other girls tell of their good
times she Is silent, feeling that what
has happened to -her cannot be worth
talking about.
If, then, aware, that she ought to
say something, she does tell of some
actual happening, she is overwhelmed
with the feeling that the others do
not believe her and tbttt she herself
Is lying.
There are many people who suffer
in much the same way. A distress
ing feeling of guilt which they know
Is based on no actual wrong doing
pursues them Into a thousand daily
situations.
That this Is a handicap to their
success and to a happy social adjust
ment Is obvious.
The trouble has Its origin In Child
hood, springing from excessive harsh
ness in the parents, sometimes from
some occasion when the child was
made to feel that a transgression was
especially shocking and horrible.
