In some places votes are cast for Roosevelt in the belief he is the old Bullmooser. There is one person in this city who thinks Al Smith is still running for the presidency and expressed the hope that he will re- ceive the publisher's support. It is, of course, generally known that Al Smith is a political has-been and Candidate Roose- velt is not the famous Teddy. where, Most of fe polls including that of the Literary Digest give Landon big majorities, but the betters who are willing to wage their money on the result of the November election are laying odds that Roosevelt i will repeat.

The efforts to secure the passage of the Human Security Amendment, and the efforts which will follow to secure legis- |“ lative appropriations to match Federal funds for Old Age Assistance, Aid to the Blind and Mothers’ Aid, are the efforts of reasonable people to secure a minimum allowance on a regular basis to the three groups which are helpless to. aid them- selves. It is a conservative enough pro- gram that anyone may support it. MUSSOLINI DABBLES A report from Rome, and it can be solini is demanding the right to name who wehr. Starhemberg given the authority over this vast body of soldiers. ‘ Meddling in the internal affairs of an independent state is a fair start towards trouble sogner or later. Mussolini stands now accused of encouraging and helping the Spanish rebels in their warfare on the legitimate government. Does the Italian leader think he is powerful enough to rule Europe personally? Mussolini, all must soon admit, is headed either for the heights of supreme power or for a‘disaster. He is willing to run the risks of war with nations which opp6se his plans. So far the European nations have hesitated to oppose him to the length of war, a condition which en- courages Mussolini to push on. He mis- takes the reluctance of France and Britain to become involved in war as weakness, and sooner or later these states will have to let him rule or demonstrate their own power, even to the length of going to war.
