A^ASSINATIOX Mien Tlire* PTOBldents ot the Ualted SUteBj»*T« died at the bands ol ^‘aasasslns. One ex-Preeldent, The-j . odore RooseTelt, was shot but not eerionsly ininred. when hej M was a candidate tor a third term. ^ne only accidental that the j ^^jassassln who fired at President-1 ' elect Franklin Roosevelt missed t and hit Mayor Cerroak olj ■' ' Chicago and four others instead.] As^inatlon is a risk which J 0Yary head of a' nation constantly j faces. The President of Frdnce. was killed less than a year.ago. | President Obregon of Mexico was assassinated hi 1928. King George ^ of Greece. Fhrlnce Ito of Japan, t' President Madero of Mexico, | ^ King Humbert of Italy, are only j a few of the national rulers who j have died at the hands of as- sassins in recent years. | L There is no effective way to, * protect rulers from the irrespon-j Bible attacks of lunatics. jV pres-‘ idem or a king must show him self to his people. In this coun try a guard of secret service men always travels with the ^ President and with the Presi-j . dent-elect, but even their precau-| f tions sometimes fail. The Presi dent of the United States literal- ' ly takes his life in his hands when he accepts that high office. NnUoifl broadcast ed to the world iU rfepoft^ refus ing to recognise jaPkt'* rights in Manehttria. •Two powerful short wave sta- Uons'^t Geneva sent this fifteen thousand w^rd message in Morse Code around the world for any body and everybody to., pick up. It took ten hours to transmit the entire report, but every word of it was picked up by the New York Times and it was publish ed in full on the tolloifing morn ing. Within less, than twenty- four hours every newspaper in the world was able to inform its readers that the combined na tions of the world would oppose Japanese aggression in China. It was the most impressive gesture the League of Nations has ever made. And my guess is that it will accomplish its purpo.se.

I doubt | If there is another person living , of whom that is true. As a small' boy in Washington I was passing j the Old Baltimore and Potomac Railroad station on July 2, ISSl. and went into the station to get a drink ot water. As I entered the waiting-room men and women were screaniin.g and rushing in every direction. I wormed m.' way through the crowd, boylike, and saw one of the station | guards struggling with a beard-1 ed man, who was .still Itol.iing :i j smoking revolver. On the floor | lay a figure which I recognizee j as that of President (.arfield. j 'and bending over iiim wits the! familiar figure of .lames i>., Blaine. Secretary of State. , ' General Garfield died two. * months later. .Medical and s'"'”'- | cal science was still crvi^U' fifl.t ^ yea^_ago. There is little doubt | .v that if doctors bad known theni ^ ‘ would I what they know now lie have recovered. Ll’VATirS with Guns There is no doubt that Guiteau. ^ who Shot Garfield, like Wilkes j Booth, who killed Lincoln, and j Leon Gzolgoscz. the assassin of [ McKinley, was insane. • As a newspaper reporter "cov ering" the Pan-American Exposi-I tion in Buffalo I was in the Tern-; pie of Music when .McKinley was ; shot on September ti. lltnl. Tlie j murder had wrapptvd a liandkei-, chief around his right hand to make it look as it it had ''pp" j Injured, hut the bandage con-j cealed a revolver. Only those closest to the President heard | the .shots or realized for a few minutes what had happened. I was present when thp Buffal po lice questioned him. If ever there was a lunatic Gzolgoscz was one. And apparently. Zangara. wlio shot at Kranklin Roosevelt. is likewise not qiiile sane. ,\s a result of the shootii.g of President .McKinley stringent laws were passed providing the death penalty for even threaten-1 Ing the life of the President. pLOKIILt Canal Plan' , Among all the projects for public improvements to he fi-j aanced by the Reconstruction Ki- j nance Corporation I cannot think | of any that would do so much j good as the plan to excavate a I sea-level ship canal across the | neck of the Florida Peninsula, i connecting the Gulf of Mexico di-. rectly with the Atlantic Ocean. | It would give immediate employ-; ment to tens of thousands. It j , would benefit everybody in the] '■Cnited States, from Texas east. | by shortening the time and re-1 duclng the cost of transportation , of c.ommotlities between the Gulf states and the wealthy North .\tlantic. seaboard. U would pay for-Itself through tolls charged for the use of the canal by ships. I hear from Florida friends that the railroads of Florida are oi»posin.e this project. That seems to me like pretty small .business, but it is quite charac teristic. Wides.pread and grow ing demand for a complete reor ganization of the railroad sys tems of the United States arises largely from Just such an arro gant and selfish attitude on the part of railroad managements In almost every part ot the country. i^pIO . . .
