Leader of Democracy is Abler Than Dictator President Roosevelt the other day sent an appeal to he governors of 19 states, urging ratification of the child labor amendment; and the sending of this appeal helps to illustrate the peculiar difficulty under which the leader of a democracy has to work. Here we have a president who holds office by one of the most sweeping landslides in all history. His party has a majority in Washington and in the 48 gubernatorial offices that is fairly topheavy. The meastre he is urging is an integral part of his program. And yet the most he can do is appeal to the governors. He Cannot command, he cannot pull strings that will make the law go through automatically; he has to ask the gov-ornnr gov-ornnr tn ask their legislatures to act, and both governors and legislatures have a perfect right to turn him down if ! they feel like it. That, of course, is just the way it suould be. Anything less than that would not be democracy. But if you have ever felt that it takes an immensely able man to be a dictator, dic-tator, you might reflect that it takes a much abler man to head a democracy. For the dictator simply decides what his policy is to be and issues the necessary orders to put it into effect. The head of a democracy cannot order; he must persuade. He must have both the insight to know the people's desires and the ability to convince the people that those desires can best be fulfilled by the specilic program ne is advancing. In the long run. of course, a dictator will be thrown out if he does not come fairly close to expressing the will of his people. But the dictator can silence opposition and stop criticism. When he sets out to persuade, there is no one to get up the next day and knock down all his arguments. He has the first word and the last word. There is an interesting contrast in the way Germany and England set about rearming. Hitler took office, said bluntly, "We are going to rearm" and that was that. Stanley Baldwin, premier of England, recognized at once that England must rearm, also; but could he say what Hitler did and sit back in contented satisfaction? o -j- He could not. First he must show the people of England Eng-land that rearmament was necessary. He must show them out in the open, so to speak, knowing that if he presented his case too sensationally, he might create international complications. He must spend two or three years arguing, explaining, and revealing; only after that could he begin to do what Hitler had been able to do right at the start. The plain fact is that the dictator occupies a bed of roses compared with the chief of a democracy. It's a whole lot easier to command than it is to persuade The Commuting Criminal Two eastern states, New York and New Jersey, have adopted several uniform crime laws, aimed to check the careers of commuting criminals, who commit crimes in one state and then rush into another to hinder, if not actually prevent, capture. These laws allow police of other states to cross state lines if in "fresh pursuit of a criminal," and make easier the extradition of criminals and witnesses. Such laws have been recommended by the Interstate Commission on Crime, to speed up the administration of justice. Our western legislatures, most of which meet this year, should at least make an investigation of the success of such laws. Our state lines were drawn to protect the rights of citizens, not to aid criminals in violating those same rights.

City-State Seen In Rhode Island PROVIDENCE. R I. (American Wire) This city is seriously considering con-sidering urging the formation of something new in American government, gov-ernment, a city-state, to be known as "Providence-Rhode Island" and to replace the present state government. gov-ernment. The reason is that because Rhode Island is so small, the dual city and state government causes many complications. Rhode Island's Is-land's longest north-south distance is only 48 miles, and its greatest east-west distance is 37 miles. More than 525,000 of the state's 700.000 citizens live within 15 miles of Providence. "City-state consolidation in Rhode Island is a potential possibility possi-bility based on increased complexity complex-ity of government," declares the National Municipal League. Advocates Ad-vocates of the scheme claim there is great waste of labor and duplication dup-lication of service in the present state and city police, fire, health and other administrative services." Rural Rhode Island opposes the plan, but the Province area, with its majority population, may I be able to force the plan into operation. MAM OF THE WEST. To Loaf or Not Loaf By X HE PORTER A friend of mine who has bee i in the harness for 40 years, is considering retirement. He has accumulated enough of the ammunition am-munition of commerce to keep two or three wolves away from his door for the remainder of his ;ife. You might think that his is an easy decision to make, and a perfect per-fect prospect. But actually it is not easy at all, nor is the prospect pros-pect entirely a rosy one. I have spent several evenings going over my rriend's great problem with him, and will try to list several of the major points that he must consider. He has no sons to carry on the business he has built. His business, he knows, will not continue con-tinue its past successes unless the momentum he has generated is maintained. He himself has made his business busi-ness his hobby, and has put into it more physical and mental energy en-ergy than most human beings are able or willing to expend. Altho. in years, he's on the sunset side of life, he is young in body, mind and spirit, and he wonders what activity will give him an outlet for those forces, the exercise of which, have undoubtedly un-doubtedly kept him in the vigorous vigor-ous physical and mental trim he is in today. He has never loafed. The thought of having nothing to do or- of being compelled to simulate simu-late interest in pursuits that have no definite attraction for him. alarms him. My friend is one of these fortunate for-tunate individuals, who, early in life, found the task that could and did absorb both his interest and the full physical effort of which he waj capable. He has loved his work. It has been his muse, his method of expression. The decision he must now make is whether to divorce his life's work entirely and coast to the end of his road, whether to turn it over to younger men and retain re-tain only a supervisory interest and have plenty of time to seek new interests, or whether to stay fully harnessed and hauling a full load as long as he is able. I'm advising him not to give up his work entirely. For I know that inactivity breeds dissolution.

The $100-a-month pension bill he has introduced intro-duced is not the official Townsend proposal. SENATORIAL CRITIC Senator Gerald Nye, chairman of the munitions investigating committee and an advocate of drastic neutrality legislation, was belaboring the resolution which embargoes arms snipments to Spain. Nye contended it was a sham gesture. The aspersions outraged Senator Sena-tor Key Pittman. chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee and sponsor of the resolution. Leaping to his feet, he shouted: "It is unfortunate that the Senator Sena-tor from North Dakota should make such a speech. Great credence cre-dence is sometimes given remarks made on the floor of the Senate. Many people really think Senators know what they are talking about." l PEACE TREATY V The Roosevelt-Hull Pan-American neutrality treaty is slated for a loud c'riorus of Bronx cheers when it reaches the Senate. It will get the "bird" not because it does anything to which the Senate critics object, but because it is just a lot of empty diplomatic lol-de-rol. Behind all the grandiloquent speeches and ballyhoo at the Buenos Aires conference, is the real fact that the tangible results re-sults toward putting into effect the President's proposals for an effective Pan-American neutrality program were exactly nil. The sixteen Latin American countries that are members of the League of Nations flatly refused re-fused to agree to embargo loans, arms and munitions in tne event of war. Likewise, they turned thumbs down on the U. S. proposal pro-posal that a permanent consultative consulta-tive committee of foreign ministers min-isters be set up to deal with international inter-national disputes in this hemisphere. hemis-phere. All that was accomplished was a vague promise by the various nations to try to settle their differences dif-ferences peacefully and to consult con-sult among themselves should war develop. Leader of the wrecking crew was Argentine Foreign Minister, Dr. Saavedra Lamas, who was awarded the Nobel peace prize and was elected president of the League of Nations Council shortly short-ly before the conference. Inordinately vain and supersensitive, super-sensitive, Lamas resented the President's trip to Buenos Aires because it threw him in the shade. Confidential reports from the conference state that Lamas raged and fumed for days, and privately threatened to thwart any kind of a treaty.

NOW CO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XIX rjOrtOTHY OSBORN stopped her car within a hundred yards of the bank and looked back. A crowd was gathering, milling fu-tilely fu-tilely about the bank's doors and peering down the side street through which the bandits had fled. Firing the last cartridge in his pistol after the vague shape of the robbers' car, the policeman who had responded to the alarm shouted an order to the crowd in general to call for reinforcements from the station house, and then looked wildly around for a car to give chase. A limousine was approaching from the direction of the railroad station and the officer jumped into its path, gesturing commandingly. McDougall, having met Mrs. Os-born Os-born at the door of the store in which she had been shopping, had Just escorted her to her own car when the commandeered limousine limou-sine rushed past, the policeman winding down the window of the door at his side and reaching in his belt for more cartridges. "Let's go after them!" cried Dorothy excitedly. Mrs. Osborne surprised McDougall Mc-Dougall by assenting eagerly, and they scrambled into the old car, the artist vainly warning them that there were bandits and gunplay gun-play ahead. In the commandeered car the policeman was shouting directions to a uniformed chauffeur. "Straight down to Shore Road!" he yelled. "They headed down Hlllview Avenue, so they got to come out on Shore Road. Keep her rolling!" Someone leaned forward from Lamas, worked overtime to scuttle scut-tle the conference. The British have large trade and financial interests in Argentina, and they do not want this country to become too potent in Latin American councils. So, with the undercover cooperation coop-eration of Lamas, they succeeded Ln drawing the teeth of the President's Presi-dent's proposals and turning the conference into a showy but very distinct flon.

Now he glanced back. ."Blue blazes!" he cried. "I didn't know there was anybody but the driver!" "What's happened?" Philip Can-field Can-field repeated impatiently. "The lady !" the policeman began. "Keep her rolling, Tommy!" Marcia echoed to the chauffeur. A LREADY the car had swung into Shore Road, where the black waters of the Sound were a contrasting border to the snow-covered snow-covered land. A quarter of a mile away, running without lights bu visible in the glow of the street lamps, an automobile was speeding speed-ing away from the town. "That's them!" shouted the policeman. po-liceman. His pistol was over the sill; the passengers were already forgotten. It was a wild ride on that pavement. pave-ment. The pursuing car did not seem to be gaining, but it did not appear to be losing, either. Obviously, Ob-viously, the bandits' driver could not risk top speed. A skid and spill would mean capture. There, they'd gone into a spin! Off the road and through the crust of snow on the shoulder. But their car was out in a moment or two, lumbering on to the road again and picking up speed. The following car, however, had gained about 400 yards in that fraction of time. Already the policeman, po-liceman, grimly pleased, was firing fir-ing from his window. Suddenly the fugitive car slowed down, wabbling dangerously along the shoulder. The policeman fired again as the Canfield car streaked to close the wide gap, and there were flashes from the car ahead as once again it picked up sptcd. And in the road was a hideou.-bundle hideou.-bundle that the headlights of the following car picked out as a man. The chauffeur instinctively braked. The heavy car swung toward to-ward the edge. Valiantly he pulled the wheel in the direction of the skid, but just a bit short of enough. The car turned over as the slope of the ditch threw it into the field beyond. Probably by the luck of the Irish, the policeman, by the open windowr, was thrown clear.
