Dictatorship With a String to it
That ominous little word, "dictator," seems to have
floated to the surface of American life pretty obtrusively
lately. We are told that Mr. Roosevelt will be a dictator
if Congress grants him the extraordinary powers that have
been suggested; and, according to the emotions which the
word arouse in our several breasts, we are either sitting
back and shivering or hugging ourselves in glee.
But we haven’t really stopped to figure out whether
the word is really applicable.
A dictator, of course, is a head man whose word goes,
a boss doesn’t have to worry much about getting every
body’s consent before he starts something; a leader who
can map out a program and put it into effect without tit
lay.
Under that definition, Mr. Roosevelt clearly would
be a kind of dictator, under the proposals advanced cur
rently in Congress.
But a dictator, as we ordinarily use the word, is more
than that. He is a chap who can’t be eased out of his job
without some kind of violent uprising; a man who will
hold office as long as he can possibly arrange it, and w ho
won’t hesitate to use troops to extend his term, if necess
ary; a man whose powers suffer no check whatever.
The powers suggested for Mr. Roosevelt would not
come under that heading in the slightest degree. Congress
would still he able to veto any act of his that was palpably
out of line with the public good.
His extraordinary powers would end in a definite time.
If the electorate disagreed with him it could discard him
as easily as it has discarded other presidents.
In other words, this “dictator'* business isn't so
frightening as it might seem to be. A dictator whose edicts
can be vetoed in emergency, and who can be recalled by
orderly process of law, isn't a Mussolini. Sitting by while
an ambitious man wilfully seizes power is one thing; vol
untarily delegating power to the electorate’s popular
choice, for a sharply limited period, is something entirely
different.
An Ironic Reprimand
New York policemen swooped down on a subway
arcade entrance to a store building the other night and
arrested 106 jobless men, some of them lame, some of
them very old, a few of them blind, who had been mak
ing a practice of sleeping there on cold nights.
The vagrant 106 were hauled into court, and the ac
count of their arrest says that “after warning them
against future similar offenses, the magistrate suspend
ed sentence in each case.”
And the story added that “most of the group, accord
ing to the police, were of types seldom found in similar
round-ups made in times of ordinary prosperity. Many
were destitute ‘white collar’ workers and mechanics.”
There is something deftly ironic in the thought of these
jobless and homeless men being solemnly warned not to
repeat their offense. One trusts that the court made it
possible for them to obey its order by seeing to it that
some sort of place was provided where they could sleep.

‘ Man'" will be the subject of the
lesson-sermon in all Churches of
Christ. Scientist, Sunday, March 5
The Golden Text is from I Corin
thians 2: What man knoweth the
things of a man. save the spirit of
man winch is in him?”
Among the passages to be read
from the Bible will be the follow
ing from II Corinthians 3: Not
that we are sufficient of ourselves
to think of anything, as of our
selves: but our sufficiency is of
God Who also hath made us able
ministers of the new testament;
not of the letter, but of the spnit:
lor tlie letter killeth. but the spirit
giveth life. But we ail. with open
face beholding as in a glass the
glory of the Lord, are changed into
the same image from glory to glory.

which will be as lollows tp £0>:
"The admission to one's self that
man is Gods own likeness sets man

This conviction shuts the door on

NOW CO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER IV
PHE morning was gray and dia
1 mal. Snowflakes, melting to
tbe touch, filled the air with what
was more a drizzle than a snow
storm, The snow bad been falling
for hours yet there was no sign of
whiteness on the ground—only
slush and mud. February was ap
parently trying to reveal Just bow
aarren and dreary the world
-an be.
In the second floor bedroom of
Mrs. Snyder’s rooming bouse half
pulled blinds dimmed what little
light there was. Janet Hill awoke
ind moved restlessly, shut her
eyes, opened them again and
olinked. liaising herself on one
elbow, she reached for her watch
ind saw that it was nearly 10:30.
Nearly 10:SO! Yes, that was
right. Janet looked again to make
cure. The morning was nearly
half gone. How could she have
slept so late?
Instead of bothering to answer
his question Janet snuggled down
igain into the warm covers. But
che was only postponing the evil
moment. Presently, with a shiver
for the chilly air. she sat up,
pushed down tbe sheets and blan
kets and was out of bed.
Half an hour later lanet had
uathed. dressed and was busy
squeezing orange juice with a
green glass reamer. The perco
lator was bubbling and tbe pleas
int odors of toast and bacon min
gled in tbe air. Janet had finished
her own breakfast and was pre
paring a tray for Mollie.
When it was ready she carried
it across the hall. A muffled voice
answered her knock. There was
the sound of the bolt turning and
the door opened. Mollie, etill In
pajamas, the yellow hair frowzled
wildly, appeared in the narrow
opening.
•‘Oh!’' she exclaimed. "Aren’t
you the angel. And does that cof
fee smell good! Come in!"
Janet entered and 6et down the
tray. "Sorry to be so late," ehe
said. "I overslept. Get back Into
bed. Mollie. I’ll pull that little
rahle over and set the tray on ft.
You want to drink the coffee
while it's hot—”
Mollie complied. Propped op,
with pillows behind her, ehe
raised the steaming cup to her
■ ips
"Um—e’wonderful!" she an
nounced "You shouldn't nave
bothered like this though, Jauet.
t feel lots better this morning.
I'd bare gone down to the cor
ner restaurant only I was lazy.
My cold's loosened and my bead
doesn't ache—"
"Then it’s just the time to be
careful," Janet told her. "Really
you shouldn’t go out today. It'e
wet and miserable. If you stay
•Ml Ilf .
Janet gave a little gasp. In the center of the room, facing her,
stood a man she had never seen before.
right there In bed you'll leel a lot
better for It tomorrow.”
• • •
\J0LL1E helped herself to some
of the crisp bacon. "A cook
like you," she said dreamily. "Is
simply wasted sitting all day at a
typewriter. Why don't you get
married, .lanct?"
"Why don't you?"
"Because." said Mollie vigor
ously, "nobody's asked me That's
not the reason you don't, though
I'm telling you, Janet, if a swell
guy like Bolf Carlyle wanted me
to toddle up the aisle with him
you can bet your bankroll 1
wouldn’t waste a minute! Not me!
Course It’s none of my business
but l think you’re making a big
mistake.”
"Isn’t It a big mistake to get
! married when you haven't any
! money?”
“Plenty of people do !t."
“Well—Rolf and l don't want
to do things that way. We’re go
ing to start right.”
Ft was the same argument she
had used with Rolf. “We want to
start right.” Janet had said over
and over and be had found no an
swer. There was nothing wrong
with the argument; it was as good
as ever. But suddenly, in the
midst of an explanation why it
was ao much better to wait and
save instead of rushing heedlessly
into matrimony. Janet found her
self faltering. After all she
wanted to marry Rolf! Last Dtght
i. . . together ... at dinner in
the candlelight! . . . That was
what a home with Rolf would be
like. Any place in the world
where she and Rolf were together
would be gay and cheerful. And
they could be so happy! Was
money really ao fearfully Impor
tant—compared with happiness?
Then resolution returned Janet
shifted the conversation and sat
half-listening while Mollie, who
was seldom quiet, rattled on In a
long description of what one of
her friend's friends had seen on
a trip to Chicago.
Presently Janet arose to go.
|The last of the buttered toast had
been finished, the last drop of cof
fee gone. Mollie bad settled her
self in the covers and said she
might be able to take a nap.
"Remember,” Janet told her as
she paused in the doorway, "if
there’s anything at all you want
Just knock and I’ll get it for you."
Back in her own room she set
to work energetically. After all,
Rolf might telephone. He hadn’t
said positively that he’d spend the
whole day with that friend from
out of town. If he came there
were half a dozen tasks that
should be out of the way first.
CHE began with a shampoo—
^ brushing her hair, rubbing
foamy suds Into It, rinsing them
out and repcatlug the process.
She manicured her nails,
, pressed a fresh collar and cuff set,
remembered the rip in the lining
of her coat sleeve and set to work
repairing It.
Time drifted by. Outside the
'snow had stopped and then begun
again. It was so dark In the room
that Janet had turned on the table
lamp. Armss the alleyway the
could sre lights burning In the
house opposite.
Almost four o'clock now. The
rooming bouse was unusually
quiet.
Subconsciously Janet knew that
all day she had been listening for
Rolfs call. Several times the tele
phone had rung Each time some
'one else had answered.
She rose and moved to the
window. “He won’t call now,"
?he told herself. “Not until later.
1*11 feci stuffy If I stay In the
house all day. Better go out and
get some air."
She put on her coat and hat
and high galoshes. In the hall she
paused to turn the knob of Mol*
lie’s door. The other girl, wrapped
in a bathrobe, was sitting up in
bed. reading a magazine.
“I'm going for a walk,” Janet
told her. “Is there anything you’d
like me to bring you?”
Mol lie shook her head. “Not
a thing. Mrs. Snyder promised te
send up dinner. Wasn’t that
sweet of her? I don’t know when
I’ve had so much waiting on. And
do I love it!”
“How’re you feeling?”
“Oh. my throat’s a little sore
but otherwise I'm o. k. Be all
right in the morning 1 guess "
“I’ll stop In later,” Janet prom
lsed. “Sure you don’t want any
thing?”
Mollie was sure. Janet hurried
down the stairs, through the en
trance hall and out Into the late
afternoon dusk.
• • •
CHE walked briskly, bead bent
^ slightly forward, hands buried
in her coat pockets. Three blocks,
four blocks and she bad reached
Temple avenue. Here there were
shops, many of them with lighted
window’s. Street cars clanged by
and a policeman directed traffic.
Pedestrians—most of them in
couples—all seemed hurrying to
get somewhere. Halfway down
the block Janet saw a restaurant. 4
It was a place where the food was
well cooked, appetizingly served
Often on Sundays Janet ate there.
It had been almost 11 when she
had breakfasted and now she
realized that she was hungry. She
considered entering and ordering
a meal. But If she did that she
might miss Rolf’s telephone call
Suddenly Janet was eager to be
home. If he should call and fall
to reach her he would think she
had made other plans and might
not call again. She turned and re
traced her steps. It seemed she
could not walk fast enough. Ac
tually it was only 25 minutes
from the time she left the room
ing house until she was back.
There was no message on the
hall table. Janet rapped at Mrs
Snyder’s door and asked if any
one had called her. No one had
Well, that was all right then!
She went up the stairs.
Six-thirty came and no mes
sage. Why was she so restless?
There had been other Sundays
when she and Rolf had had sepa
rate engagements. Not many of
them, but still a few.
By eight o’clock Janet told her
self he wasn’t going to call. To
prove that she wasn’t even ex
pecting a message she slipped off
her frock, got into pajamas and
a robe. Then she crossed the bail |
to talk to Mollie.
The invalid was sitting at a
table writing a letter. Mollie’s |
conversation, contrary to expecta
tions. did not prove cheering. It
was devoted chiefly to the details
of Cousin Evelyn’s latest opera
tion. It was to Cousin Evelyn
that Mollie was writing.
Janet, as soon as she could, j
made an excuse and came away
In the hall she was surprised tc
find the door of her room open
She stepped forward and felt foi
the light switch. In another In
stant the room was ablaze with
electricity.
Janet gave a little gasp. Ir
the center of the room, faclni
her, stood a man she had nevet >
seen before. A
