It may seem a little unfair to the children to deprive them of a pleas- ture which has been a privilege of boyhood since time immemorial, but changing times and conditions re- quire changing rules and most par- ents would rather prohibit their chil- dren this pleasure than to see them ctippled for life or consigned to an untimely grave. Numerous minor accidents have oc- curred recently in which motorists have felt themselves turning gray as| the result of narrow escapes from se- attention of The Tribune, a motorist suffered damage-to his car becaus: he was forced to stop at an intersec- tion to avoid running down some boys who were attempting to hitch their sleds to passing machines. An- other motor car crashed into him. ‘This man was forced to risk his own life and property in order to protect the lives of the boys in question. Had this driver been a trifle heedless or, careless, one or more of the boys might have been seriously injured or killed. It may seem somewhat old-fash- ioned in this enlightened age to ad-; vocate a policy of “spare the rod) and spoil the child,” but most of us| still are willing to apply it in the child’s own interests. Certainly we would prefer to do so rather than sec) our own children suffer death or in- jury because we failed to do our part in protecting them from their own carelessness and inexperience. | Those Sensitive Japs Attack on a Chinese newspaper by Japanese residents of Tsingtao is) proof of the highly sensitive nature of the little yellow islanders. ‘The newspaper in question asserted to assassinate the Japanese emperor ‘was proof that the Koreans wanted freedom from Japanese rule. It was interpreted as an insult to the em- peror and the Japanese populacc, a Telatively small number when com- pared with the Chinese residents, took it upon themselves to avenge the affront. The fact that there were plenty of Japanese marines on hand, of course, may have had something) to do with this bold action and the subsequent wrecking of headquarters of the Kuomintang, Chinese politi- cal organization. In any gang the little fellows al- ways are bold when they know the “big shot” is supporting them. In. this respect Japanese are not differ- ent from other folks. ‘The incident is apt illustration of what militarism run rampant can do to the spirit of a people. It dem- onstrates how completely the Japa- nese have cowed their neighbors on the Asiatic mainland. Prophecies of .future war are not pleasant, but it seems safe to pre- dict that Japan probably will play ®@ leading part in starting the next great war, if and when it comes. Is Smith a Candidate? ~ It’s an ill wind that blows nobody profit by the struggle now in pros- entitled to the use for republication of | troubling the Democrats is whetive Alfred E. Smith will make another bid for favor this year. The fcrmer ‘New York governor has been so non- commital that circulation of the newspapers of the country with Smith propaganda may have some signific- ance. This work is being done by the “Smith for President League” which mails its letters from Philadelphia but puts no return address on them and says nothing whatever about ‘t- self. Its slogan is “Draft Smith in| 1932.” | The anonymity of the business | suggests that persons sponsoring it are so close to Smith that the New Yorker cannot be without knowledge of their activities. If this were true, Smith would not be the first man who started a movement to have himself drafted for place of honor or emolument. Those Campaign Slogans Indications are that the Republican campaign slogan next fall may be “Prosperity Is Returning, Don't Throw It in Reverse” while the Democrat: will rally behind the cry of “Hee, Haw, We're Coming Back.” lican senators selected the gem first quoted as the best submitted in a contest sponsored by the Pathfinder magazine while a Democrat group selected the second one mentioned as the best offered by Democrats. All told, 100,000 slogans wre submitted by followers of the two parties. Just so the rank and file might have a choice, the two groups made second and third selections. In order, the Republicans liked “Hold Steady” and “The Elephant Works While the Donkey Kicks.” The Democrats gave’ approval to “Vote Democratic and Eat Regularly” and “If We Want a Change for the Better, We'd Better Make a Change.” The last mentioned was the brain- child of A. H. Kessler of Hague, N. D. who received $10 for it. But, somehow, the heart fails to warm to any of the six offered, al-} though some seem to have possibil- ities of development. They are nol impressive to the average citizen who has read enough advertisements to It seems a better bet that cam- paign slogans for both partics will) be sounded by the professional sloganeers from platforms early in the forthcoming campaign. Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show-the | trend of thought by other editors. to whether they agree or disag: with The Tribune's policies. Chickens to Roost (New York Times) There has been wide comment, inj; a spirit of fair play, upon the injus- tice of holding President Hoover re- sponsible for the ills which have be-) fallen the country under his admin- istration. Many letters have come to: The Times endorsing a recent edi- torial in protest against the habit of holding him accountable for cvery- thing that has happened since he be- came president. No one couid have! worked harder than he, or with more intelligence, in trying to mght the mischiefs and misfortunes of the past two years. Yet it has to be admitted that whenever and wherever the mat- ter has been put to the practical po: liticai test, the popular verdict has been against the president. This was; notably the case in the special con- gressional elections in New Jersey and in New Hampshire. In both of them the Republican candidate stood as a defender of the Hoover adminis- tration, but both the districis, for- merly Republican by overwhelming majorities, were carried by Demo- crats. In the face of the demonstra- tion even so staunch a Republican newspaper.as The. Herald Tribune! declared that, unless there was some way of freeing the president from the handicap of his former position in upholding prohibition, “the case is hopeless.” In all this, Mr. Hoover is less di- rectly concerned, except as respects his personal fortunes, than is the Re- publican party. To the extent of his agrecment in 1928 with the doctrines and predictions of that party, the president cannot escape his share of the current popular reaction, so ad- verse to him and to Republican pros- pects. But it is really an old story, which began long before his public career. One of his predecessors in the white house, William McKinley, was nominated and elected precisely as “the advance agent of prosperity.” On ‘that theme Republican orators have descanted ever since. They have described themselves as the partly of “the full dinner pail.” Republicans have identified themselves with every development and invention and move- ment for the betterment of workmen and the middle classes—up to the point when, four years ago, they were almost pledging themselves to give everybody, not-a chicken in the pot, but two automobiles in every gerage, and wound up with a demand on the voters for gratitude and sup- port, as the one and only party that could guarantee the permanence of such material blessings “in wicyst commonalty spread.” ‘This was plainly from the first a Policy of class legislation. It also smacks of state Socialism.

Earlier in the season, a revuc had as its opening number the appear- ance of a hoofer before a scenic ver- sion of the Empire State building. The brown derby and make-up ot the dancer was an obvious take-off on Smith. Gags concerning the eco- nomic status of the Empire State were passed during the act. Yet no- body laughed any louder than the ex-governor. Broadway performers pull no punches when satirizing these two leading New Yorkers. Rarely has any official rebuke followed a theatrical- ized commentary on politics and per- sonalities. | STICKERS TNRPOEIE LLDR {nthe above word square all the letters ore gen bu eal fo me Glace we they belong.

Fact is, she doesn’t travel alone: There's a cer- tain publicity man who usually shares her company, and a rather elderly gent who once was a prominent film director.
