(From Scribner’s Magazine) In the records of the courts and in- surance companies it was pretty much the same old tsory. While driv- ing home early one evening, I round ed a familiar curve and faced a pair‘ of glaring headlights. 0n the riht of the road, a millworker confused and jumped the wrong way. The impact threw me a little forward in my seat The millworkers body slid flat on the pavement for perhaps fifty feet, rolled over, jerked, and lay still. The dinner pail he had carried under his arm rattled along the pavement for another twenty feet, then all was quiet. When we got to him we saw there would be no hurry about taking him to the hospital. He was dead. | KILLED A MAN During tel ong court ordeal after-l ward, it was established beyond all1 doubt that the accident was unavo-id-i able.

Colonel Drew spoke to a meeting that packed the hall. In the town more than seventy years ago, his grandfather, the late Geogge A.

His prediction of the long-range outcome of the Chinese-Japanese sit- uation was that “Japan probably will end up with all of North China down to Shanghai.” Bitterly assailing the methods which he claimed were undermining democracy in Canada, Col. Drew deâ€" clared that present election campaign had degene1ated into a series of charges dest1oying public confidence ‘in the £01m of government undei a democracy. One of the worst of these he said, was the new policy of creat- ing an issue out of the millionaires on either side. Class War Dangerous It was a dangerous attempt he said, to precipitate class war in Can- ada. In a c‘cuntry of opportunity, where plenty of opportunities still existed he said, and where children had been taught the success that at- tended initiative, political claptrap developed a public opinion that it was a crime to be wealthy and that every Canadian of wealth had sin- ster motives against his country. l White House aides said Mr. Roose- velt had no‘plans immediately folâ€" lowing his return to Washington ear- 1y Tuesday.
