that about nine out Of ten prize fights
today are crooked. We stated that
we did not believe that Wilmington

The latest fight To draw the fire Of
public criticism is the Johnny wilson

that both men are barred from fight

RIPPLING RHYMES.
By Walt Mason.
THE STORY TELLER

James Jarvis Jinks is in his
glory when he's relating anec-
dotes. all things remind him of
a story, and men who listen
lose their goats. for all the tales
he tells are hoary, and blue
mould on the surface floats. He
surely sees when he's beginning
a dreary yarn that Adam knew,
that fellows quit cheerful grim
ming. and look morose, dis
traught and blue: he ought to
know that he is SHINING by
handing out a yarn or two. This
Jinks has many kinds of merit,
and well might rank with hon
ored males, had he neglected TO
inherit his passion for bewhisk-
cred tales, that graft-the peo-
pie cannot bear it; all story
bores should be in jails. It's
strange how bores viii keep on
boring, when tl.ey must see they
make men tired; the orator con-
tinues roaring till through the
transom he is fired: the fren-
zied bard is bent on soaring
When saving wood is most de-
sired. Sometimes when ] get

heave a sigh, or wipe the tears
that come a-fiocking around
the corner of his eye; and then

I'm SO ashamed / fain would
die. Then ! reform until. for

spiel. and seeing some poor VIC
tim fretfnl, the currents of my
soul congeals ! then proceed, re-

JUDGE B0YcE's EXAMPLE.

In declining TO become a candidate
for the position Of Democratic Nation
al Committeeman, former Judge VIII
liam II. Boyee makes an appeal for
party harmony. II every other Della
ware Democrat has the welfare Of
the party at heart in the same meas
ure as Judge Boyce. the party would
go united. harmoniously and victor
iously into every campaign. Likewise.
some Democrats who have been mem
toned for the committeemanship

tunately all Delaware Democrats are
not as unselfish as Judge Boyce.--Dei-

psYcHo-ANALysIs IN POLITICS

PSYCHo-ANALYS IN POLITICS
Every Evening published on this
page Thursday an article BY Frederic
]. Haskin entitled Light on the
Mighty" which discussed the psyche
analyzation of men in / American
politics. Reference was made to
Samuel @. Biythe's brilliant series of
character sketches. Who's who-And
why" which created a furore in
Washington decade ago. and some
thing was said for ''the Mirrors of
Washington" which we had discussed
previously in these columns. Said Mr..
Haskin. in part:
The honest and scientific analysis
OF public men is an art which has
come into being within the past few
years. and which is just now getting
a foothold in this country. Beyond a
doubt IT derives its strength and its
method from the science of psyche
analysis. And the same spirit
and viewpoint that animates Mir
rors' may be found cropping out in
other places. Some of the magazines
display a far more critical and de-
tached view of public men than they
used tc. There is strong reason TO
believe that a new kind of political
Journalism is coming into being, and
that the old partisan buncombe is GO
ing to die of its own absurdity and
weakness"
PROOF of Mr.. Haskinis assertion con-
tained in the last sentence above is
easily had by comparing the editorial
pages of Americas newspapers today
and half a decade ago. In pre-
war days American Journalism was
at very low ebb. The editorial
pages of the majority of journals re-
fiected the partizan spirit of the un-
seen beings who directed their des-
TIMES. Then the papers friends We're
snow-white doves. and their enemies
were darker than black midnight
The situation is different today. Many
of those journals have broken the
shackles of spiritual slavery, and are
telling the truth, and the whole truth
about the men whom they support
and the men whom they oppose in
politics.
This is a spirit which has been
one but the moron really believes all
the nice things which he hears about
his favorite candidate. Your strong
man knows that his politician is hu-
man, and being such, that he has wept
and laughed, gained and lost, and been
csciNbed bf Aflt meat Oh
and adversely. The old buncombe was
good ip its day, but Americans as
class are just a bit more civilized
now. and desire the truth about their
representatives.
We believe that it would be very
interesting if someone would psyche
analyze certain figures in Delaware
politics today. For instance, what is
Willard Sauisbury's complex, and that
Of Josiah Marvel? What causes each
man generally to act in a certain
manner under given conditions? And
for that matter, what wouldn't psyche
analysis tell US of the hidden springs
within Andrew c. Gray, Leroy Har-
vey. William ID. Denney, Joseph Ban
croft. Caleb r. Layton, T. c. du Pont.

Chicago, March 3o.--Search for bodies continued today in the ruins of a warehouse destroyed by an ex- plosion yesterday and firemen and po- lice sought evidence that might throw further light upon the cause of the disaster in which at least eight per- sons were killed and several score hurt.

 Max Singer. a nephew of schaeffer's partner. was said to have told the police that ordinarily ten men were used to load firccrackers in a secret basement factory. He said that only four were at work yesterday and that all were killed.
