MEN AND AFFAIRS
BY ROBERT T. SMALL

He treats them to a lot of the pic
turesque slang of the day. just to
show that he knows their language,
and then he drills lot of good. hard.
Davis looks to Al Smith to be one

Some Of the old political prognos-
ticators of the National Capital are
figuring that the La Toilette Wheeler
ticket is going to get lot Of votes
this year because the two Senator's,
running for President and Vice
President are going to make more
promises than either of the two old
parties. There are a large number
or voters always attracted to the
loudest Of the band wagons. Some
even, are won away from the older
parties And that is to be the case
this year.
CT The situation" said a Western

RADIO not SO many years ago. We
had a real radical running for Office.
and was surprised to find one OF
my oldest Republican friends had
made up his mind to vote for the
man. Oh. this man had promised
everything. He had promised to
build more roads. to raise the price
or farm products, to increase school
facilities. build new State buildings
spend millions of dollars in every
direction-and at the same time to
cut taxes in half.
II asked my friend if he believed
the candidate, IL he believed it pos
sible to do all these things. He re-
piled that he did not. l asked him
then, why it was that he proposed to
vote for the hot-air merchant
We'll he replied, 'bewteen a fell
low that don't promise you nothing,
and one that promises you the whole
works, I'm going to vote for the
whole works cause even il you don't
get all he says he'll do, mebbe you'll

Former Senator George Chamber
lin of Oregon, now practicing law in
Washington, has been hearing the old
political fire bells ringing out there
in the West, but he insists he is
through with office holding for all
time to come and can't be weaned
away from the comfort and peace
and interest of his present profession.
The Democratic tempters in Oregon
have been writing the former Sena-
tor, telling him he is far from for
gotten. They have even said that
one of the aspirants for the Repub-
lican nomination for Senator men
toned Mr.. Chamberlin's name at his
demonstrations that followed nearly
broke up the show.

The country at large is to get its
first view of "Al' Smith. The Gov
efnor Of New York State, whose pop
ularity within that State knows no
bounds, is to be one of the biggest
ngures in the Democratic national
campaign. Regardless of whether he
consents to run for governor again,
AL Is to take the stump for John w.
Davis, and a large section of the
East and Middle West will get a taste
of his interesting personality and pic
turesoueness on the platform. The
governor may even go to the Far
West before the campaign is over.
Wherever he goes there will be a
decided splash of color. There will
not be the same whirlwind of excite
ment that marks one OF his rip-roar-
ing trips through the East Side dur
ing election times in New York City,
terest itself with when Al Smith
comes around. His friends believe
that a wide speaking tour in behalf
of the national ticket would be the
making of AL. They believe that if
the country knows him as well as the
folks at home. some day it will call
him to the White House. So AL Is
going forth, not alone to carry out
his pledge to do all within his power
to insure the election of Mr.. Davis
and his running mate. Mr.. Bryan, but
to make a little character" of his
own. II the governor can get some
Of his personal magnetism, his rare
qualities Of good humor, his flavor
of the sidewalks OF New York, over
to the people at large. there is no
question but that he will be regarded
in the future as one of the outstand-
ing assets OF his party.
Al Is going to start out in perfect
tune. And he expects to warm up as
he goes alone. The. governor won't
talk over that Massachusetts, radio.
for IL you can't say something about
your opponents, what's the use OF
making a stump speech? The Bay
Staters, under their new rule OF ex-
treme politeness, would have to turn
of the microphone on Governor Al
before he got fairly started.
AL says the time has come to treat
'em rough"-meaning. OF courses the
Republicane-and he proposes to
start right out with a dose of 'rasp-
berries" There are 80 many crack
pots among the Republicans. the
governor expects to have hard time,
He declares that a lot Of Republican
Congressmen can't knock out Presi-
dent Coolidge's brains one minute in
Washington and the next minute
proclaim him as the saviour Of the
country.

St1teas
HERE seems to be a danger
these days of a mixing of our
morals and our medicine. So
marvellous are the cures being
wrought by science that 1t Is dificult
to distinguish between the scientist
and the Christian Scientist. For many
years highminded men have been
pouring into the ears of the public
the idea that in reality there is no
such a thing as crime. 1t Is just dis
ease, they have been arguing, and
ought to be treated as such. -.
This may be true, but we are ap.
preaching the time when the sort of
treatment this disease should be sub
mitted to must be defined. More and
the constitutional theory that one OF
the main objects Of punishment is the
reformation Of the criminal, we have
been developing the parole system.
depopulated unless a great increase
in so-cslled crime sets In. Governors,
pardon and parole boards, judges and
Presidents are letting defendants 90
upon good behavior after they have
been found guilty. 1t is debatable
whether We have not SO liberalized
the law by eniarging the parole idea
as to have removed from the minds
OF men sense Of wrongdoing and
the fear of punishment. p.
At this particular time an effort to
intr a new element, or rather an
old element worked over, in the de-
lense OF crime Is to be noted. No
one Is to be convicted who has no
better way to hold up up a % Prize Aao to-
stimulate criminal conduct than to
lay down the rule OF law that a per.
son may take life with impunity and
go unwhipped of justice, provided
some doctor or alienist is willing to
testify that the person has no sense
or right or wrong.
What Is Competence.
II a man knows the amount of his
estate and the names Of those who
are the natural objects Of his bounty,
ne Is regarded as competent to make
Will, even though he be insane.
This principle could well be written
into the criminal law. II it has not
yet been declared to be the law, pres
ervation Of society sooner or later
Will require that it be SO declared
that when a man knows he is killing
u matters not whether he feels badly
ABOUT II or whether he believes or not
tnat he has right to kill-he has
killed. and is responsible for his act.
Thls new idea that a feeble minded
ness In moral concepts Is a defense
OF crime Is a direct reversal OF the
principle upon which the defense of
insanity is really based. To be insane
II Is necessary that at some time the
person was sane. One cannot get out
OF something that he never was in.
The defense of insanity assumes that
At one time the defendant would
nave known what he did was wrong,
put tnat he was overpowered by a
mental disturbance and was unable
not to act. The insanity defense was
never based until recently on total
lack of moral sense and absence of
sensibility of conduct.

IN order to obtain a mental thrill,

Heard and Seen

Restaurant partons furnish an in
exhaustible supply of types for the
student OF human nature who hap
meals
They add a spice to the food which
does not have to be sprinkled on with
salt or pepper shaker. This spice
may not be taken at all, il the patron
prefers simply by refusing to look
at the people around him.
The minute he lifts his head, how
ever, or. allows his eyes to wander
across the room, he finds himself
making observations. At once he
becomes a student Of human nature
in the raw.
A restaurant has no way of keep
ing a man out unless something pal
pably Is the matter with him. It Is
a sort Of public service corporation.
and, like the street car, cannot re-
fuse a man simply because his
clothes are not of the latest cut.
The man who has no table man
ners is one of the commonest res
taurant types. He is the one people
say must have been brought up in
a trough"
This specimen needs a book Of eti-
quette about as much as any one in
modern civilized life. There is no
dog or cat in the world that could
not give him pointers.
Your honest house cat will grab a
piece Of meat with sundry growls and
snarls, turn her head to one side, and
go after 1t like a tiger would buck
1t had dragged down.
This restaurant cousin goes the
cat and tiger many degrees better.
He leans over the table. his legs
clinched around It's legs, as IL he were
afraid 1t might get away from him.
His face suspended a few inches
from his plate, he proceeds to imbibe
his food in a manner that would
make any respectable hog blush with
shame A railroad train coming over
the great divide has nothing on him.
In q certain downtown restaurant
one of this type daily furnished
amusement to other patrons and to
the restaurant employees. His noises
were so outrageous that they actually
were funny.
he would get up at sundry times dur
ing his meal, and walk around the
room, making new and fearsome
sounds, to the utter astonishment of
newcomers.
Then there is the fussy patron.
This type may be either male or
female. Nothing suits him. If he
orders his eggs "once over" he is
sure to claim they were cooked some
other way.
The salt will not pour, or, il it
does pour, something is the matter
with the vinegar cruet
Another type common to restau-
rants is the man who walks all
around seeking this, that and the
undersupplied.
He pounces down on another guest.
Are you using this catsup?" he
asks, suavely, as he makes grab for
the bottle. He asks pleasantly
enough. but his manner bellies his
word.
The merry lovers are to be met
with frequently. ..-. go .
They take chairs side by side, and
remain much more interested in each
other than their food.
He usually thinks 1t necessary to
PLACE hts arm protectinEly around the
back Of her chair. The rest Of the
consumers feel like standing up in a
body and hollering:
For heavens. sake. hug her and
be done, with It."
These are just a few of the. types.
The list IL long. and any reader can
expand 1t from his own observations.
