URGES DEMOCRATIC
VOTES FOR COOLIDGE
Hooper Says Tennessee Should

NASHVILLE. Tenn, October 25.-
Ben w. Hooper, chairman of the
United States Railroad Labor Board
and formerly Republican Governor
of Tennessee, in campaign address
here tonight appealed for Democratic
support for Coolidge and Dawes.
In England today the Conserva-
tives and Liberals are cooperating to
check the rise of radicalism," he said.
I'VE are going to have to do the
same thing in this country, and the
sooner we do it the better.
IF the conservative. sensible, pa
triotic Democrats of Tennessee are
convinced that Davis cannot carry
the East and that La Toilette may
win a dangerous number of electoral
votes in the West, they can render
no higher service to their country
than to throw the electoral vote of
Tennessee to Coolidge and Dawes.
IF the party labels were all de-
stroyed and all our partisan recol-
iections ebIterated ] believe there
are large number of things upon
which an overwhelming majority Of
the people of Tennessee could agree,

MANY ART LOVERS

Early Style of Christian
Painting Carried Out in
Decoration Is Attraction.

Many lovers of art are being at
tracted to the National Shrine of the
immaculate Conception now under
construction at Catholic University
because of the pictures of the saints
and martyrs forming the reredos oyer
the IL temporary altars in the crypt,
and also the rough designs or car
toonS for the mosaic stations of the
cross, which are of Il very early
style Of Christian art
These paintings are all from the
brush of Frederic de Henwood, with
the exception of the center altar piece
on the east side, which is a copy of
Andrea del Sarto's Madonna of the
Ii2rpItS, painted some years ago by
Mrs. de Henwood, a grandniece of
Sir George Haytcr, court painter to
Queen Victoria
Mr.. de HenWood is member of the
International Society of Artists. the
Boston Art Club, and the Pcnnsylya :
MA Academy of Fine Arts. For a
number of years he has been identi-
lied with Il revival of large mural
paintings and decorations in churches.
His designs for the stations of the
cross in the National Shrine are con-
Sidered of especial interest as they
a-re culled from some of the earliest
Mosaic pictures of biblical history,
and from many sources OF early art in

with the duke" said the labor leader.
What do object to is the hypocrisy
of the whole thing"
But what most sensible people will
object to is the hypocrisy of the labor
leader. That a commoner can play
golf with a kings son is good sign,
not an evil one. 1t shows that men
possibly holding diametrically oppo-
site oponionS can meet on commo n
ground. Perhaps while looking for

found an opportunity to say to the

haps the duke replied to the civil
lord: Between you and me, old fell
lah, nyther do l."
Isn't that better than for Mr..
Hodges to hire a hall and take a
long distance crack at the royal fam
lily, which is withheld from replying?
The hypocrisy lies in crying out
again and again that the proletariat
must rule in it's own interests and
against those of every one else. All
that they are human beings, capable
of reasoning. The more they reason
together, at golf or elsewhere, the
better 1t will be for all concerned.
The more they keep apart, each re-
fusing to consider the standpoint of

Look to Your Brakes!

Public attention has been directed
to automobile brakes. Tests made by
engineers of the Bureau of Standards
on ITS Washington cars offered for ex-
animation showed that II per cent Of
the foot brakes were excellent" Al
per cent good" % per cent fair and
10 per cent poor. The examination of
emergency brakes showed even a less
satisfactory condition. Only 8 per
cent Of these brakes were marked lex
cel1ent," 16 per cent were marked
good" and 81 per cent poor" The
foot and emergency brakes Of a car
should be in 100 per cent working
order. The foot brake is in use every
day, and the driver ought to know
when it is working well or otherwise.
1t is likely that many drivers do know
that their foot brakes are not at maxi.
mum efficiency, but defer adjustment
until they take the car to a service
station for some other purpose than
brake adjustment. The emergency
brake is that which a driver should
reach for and which some drivers do
apply for an uncommonly quick stop.
The experts found in some cases that
brakes refined in preparation for the
test did not work well. The tests are
being made on smooth. level pave
ment near the Washington Monu-
ment, and car owners should accept
the offer, Of the Bureau Of Standards
to test their brakes.

Germany Must Sign Again.

There is significant coincidence in
the fact that a German delegation
leaves Berlin for London to attend an
allied conference on the subject of
the reparations plan on the tenth an
niversary Of England's entry into the
great war. That anniversary was OBJ
served yesterday in England by spe-
cial services in churches and other
ceremonies of memorial. The German
delegation, headed by Foreign Min
lister Stresemann, will go to London,
not as participants in the sense of
having an actual part in determining
the terms of the reparations plan, but,
like the German representatives at
Versailles in 1919, to learn the terms
proposed. 1t is reported from Berlin
that they will endeavor to obtain GER
tain concessions. Stresemann, 1t is
stated, will seek some modification as
a means of placating the Nationalists.
It is, however, unlikely that there will
be material, if any, departures from
the plan now agreed upon by the al.
lies. 1t has been difficult enough to
work out that plan to suit all OF the
entente governments without adding
complications. The plan itself is work
able and is based upon economic
equity.
In France Premier Herriot's part in
the London conference is approved.

Bile to the net outcome of the meeting.
He has pursued a difficult path. There
seems no present danger OF an over
turn in France, although important
concessions have been made in French
policy.
AS the German delegation was pre-
pairing to leave Berlin that capital was
the scene of a remarkable ceremony
in commemoration of the dead of the
World War. The President of the re-
public and other representatives OF
the government took part in it in
their official capacity. A group Of gen.
erals resplendent with imperial deco
rations, and attended by large num-
ber of reichswehr infantry goose
stepping to the tune of old war songs,
held the attention of a vast throng.
Then a band of Communists began a
counter demonstration at the moment
when by official order silence was to
be maintained for two minutes. The
reds began singing the "Internation-
ale" with cries for the SovietS and
against the reichswehr. Half a hun
dred of the ringleaders were arrested.
However these feelings may rise in
conflict in Berlin, the fact remains that
Germany must finally assume the re-
sponsibility for making reparation for
the terrible injuries inflicted upon
other lands. Five and a half years
ago she, through delegation, signed
a treaty at Versailles. Since then she
has made little or no contribution in
reparation. Now she must set her
signature to a plan which grants the
maximum of consideration. Her main
hope has been during these years that
the alliance Of western European
powers would dissolve through jeal
ousy and inharmony of purpose. Once
again the alliance has been cemented
by agreement and the German hope
of advantage through discord fades.

in Poland. He took to the sea and fol.
lowed it for over 20 years, serving as
common sailor and rising by painful
stages Of maritime promotion to com
mand. When relieved Of the drudgery
OF the life Of able seaman he began to
write as a diversion, utilizing his ex'
periences in many seas. But he had
no confidence in his capacity for
literary construction, and it was not
until 1894 that he ventured to show
to a passenger on his ship a manu-
script which he had lately finished.
This good friend recognized it's merit
and urged him to publish it, even to
quit the sea and pursue writing as
career. He followed this advice, and
his first novel was published in 1895
and attracted attention at once. Critics
recognized that a new force had been
developed.
Although born a Pole, Conrad had
gained such command of English that
he wrote in that language, and all OF
his work has been so expressed. Few
native to the English tongue have had
such a command of it as this man.
He wrote in the main Of the sea, al
ways convincingly, because he knew
the sea in all it's moods, had battled
with it in all quarters of the globe.
He had visited many strange lands
and had had remarkable adventures.
But not merely as a story teller was
Conrad appreciated. He was gifted
with an exceptional style, and there
was in his work strain Of philosophy
He was no ordinary story teller, nc
mere Spinner of yarns" He was an
industrious writer, prolific to re-
markable degree, turning out volume
after volume at the rate of nearly one
a year, with minor work interspersed
He early established his public,
which increased steadily with each
successive novel, Doubtless in this
case the delay in beginning was essen
tial. Conrad might have made a
mediocre success as a writer had he
started earlier in life. But he required
unquestionably the ripening of his ad
ventures, his harsh experiences, his
sufferings to bring him to the point OF
production. There is reason to be
grateful for the misfortune that sent
him forth a youth upon the sea head
ed for a part which he doubtless al
that time did not invision.

Another token of the passing of
the old regime in France is seen by
the American press in the restoration
to citizenship of Joseph Caillaux, the
exiled former premier, who was ac-
cused of treason during the war.
Few editors believe the return of
Caillaux can be regarded otherwise
than as a menace to France and that
country's relations with her former
allies.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer recalls
that 1.-The French courts never proved
CaillauX actually guilty of treason
but they did find that his activities
as in France, were extremely detrl-
mental to the interests of the French
nation. He was deprived of citizen
ship, and since 1920 he has several
times narrowly escaped serious in
jury at the hands of mobs. Even
hatred of French patriots by truck
ling to Germany in the Agadir set
tlement. And now this man is re-
stored to full citizenship by his
radical admirers, and is free once
more to engage in political manipu-
lation for his own advantage. 1t is
far from improbable that the con-
tinued domination of the bloc gauche
may result in placing Joseph Gail
laux in the cabinet" The New York
Evening World calls attention to the
fact that his followers insist that
Caillaux was slated for removal be-
cause he was dangerous to specially
favored exploiting interests, and ii
is possible to make out fairly
plausible case for that point OF
view"
"Banished though he was from the
center of political activity, and con-
rights" the Duluth Herald declares
''he was a powerful factor in the re-
cent French elections, and he is a
powerful factor in the present gov
ernment, in which he no doubt Will
now have an official place. Guilty
or innocent victim of the wartime
hysteria prevalent in all embattled
countries, this picturesque figure rises
now from obscurity to the height
from which he tumbled. furnishing
an interesting illustration of the
Kaleidoscope character of politics
especially French politics" The Grand
Rapids Herald sees a real menace
for France in his return, because
He is vivid internationalist in eco
the type of patriotism which saved
France in 1914-18. He Is an economic
radical who makes Herriot look posi-
lively reactionary. He is not likely
to love Britain or the other erst-
while partners in the grand alliance
any more today than when he tried
to deliver them to their destroyers
He is that most dangerous paradox
the truculent pacifist." Without
question, the st. Joseph News Press
agrees "Caillaux is a dangerous man
because of his talents and his de-
structive tendencies" and. sit was
disservice to France to grant him
amnesty"
While afn the eyes of the multitude he
was a despicable traitor. and IN the eyes
