1t seems that the custom In New Jer-

that Mr.. Gibson was wearing his In the

of the New Jersey gunmen were
shocked and distressed. 1t was as though
Mr.. Gibson had worn tan shoes with
evening dress.
There was an agitated whisper near
the ringsde. Some Of the local gum
mon were inclined to believe that Mr..
Gibson was wearing his gun in this po-
sition as a direct affront. It was de-
cidsd that he was one OF those bold
adventurers In styles who were deliber-
ately trying toyset a new fashion.
Innovation Causes Stir.
Il suppose that this ID the latest
thing from New York." observed one
of the local gunmen, for the innova-
ton had created quite as much stir at
Boyles Thirty Acres as the first short
skirt did when it appeared on Fifth
avenue.
One OF the local police inspectors who
knew Mr.. Gibson personally and knew
that he was highly conservative In the

INSURGENCY IN OHIO
TO AMEND DRY LAW

Citizens generally are disappointed,
perhaps chagrined would be the better
word, over the failure OF the Wash.
ington Government to provide the re.
lief promised and expected. The most
menacing volume of discomfort II that
expressed against Congress-, for Mr..
Harding has not appreciably sacrificed
any great amount Of personal prestige
among the citizens Of his own State.
He is appraised as having given a
fairly good accounting Of his steward
ship without the measure of Congress
sional support that should have been
provided.
The hardness of Congress to meet
the situation has alienated great
many thousand voters normally Re-
publican from that. party in Ohio.
The tariff program over which the
Senate majority is trading, the bonus
raid on the Treasury and the mani
fest Indifference of the Republican
leaders In the two Houses to the eco
nonic necessities of the country fav,
driven flocks Of men and womei
voters in Ohio away from the Repub
lican party, IL not toward the Demo
Gratis.
Expanding Wave OF insurgency.
That there Is in Ohio a widely ex-
panding wave of insurgency if not
actual radicalism such as broke out in
the primaries In Pennsylvania, Iowa
Nebraska and Indiana, is not to be
doubted. Up to date the leaders of
both parties have demonstrated their
ability to harness it within party lines.
The most radical feature in the situ-
alton to date is fermenting near the
surface--the wet and dry issue, of
course.
The degree Of popular interest in
the as yet vaguely defined program
Of the wets reflects widespread discon-
tent with prevailing conditions, de-
sire for more effective enforcement of
the law or the modification Of 1t to
meet popular sentiment, in Ohio, at
least.
The efforts of the leaders and cam
didates of the two parties to shove the
issue into the background have COM
petely failed. The aggressive cam
paign staged by the Anti-Saloon
League to prevent any impairment OF
the Volstead act establishes the fact
beyond peradventure of doubt. Any
thing short OF clear cut dry victory
all along the line will encourage raids
against the cause In other States. and
what is even more important a sub.
stantial increase In the number Of wet
N'es in the two houses Of Congress.

Far from being an advance dresser.
Mr.. Gibson is one of the old school.
Everybody knows that New Workers. OF
tho old school carry their gats as Mr..
Gibson carried his that night While
Mr.. Gibson has travelled extensively. he
has not taken the time to familiarize
himself with the gun toting fashions Of
the various communities.
For instance. Mr.. Gibson does not
know what the we'll dressed man with a
gat should know. He did not know the
Jersey customs. He does not know that
in Philadelphia the pistol Is worn In
the right hand coat pocket and taken
off with the coat when the carrier sits
down to his meals or for social recrea-
tion. In Chicago the gat Is carried In
the hand instead of a cane. In fact
all but the most conservative dressers
in Chicago have given UP the cane for
the automatic long ago. The pistol Is
twirled on the forefinger as one walks
or rides on the Michigan Boulevard.
Mr.. Gibson is greatly depressed over
his social error and fears that 1t may
injure his social prestige in The Bronx.
