STICK MAKING
SMALL GAIN
IN RECOUNT
Brookhart Claims So More
Votes Than Opponent
In Iowa

Continued, if slight, gains for
Daniel F. Steck as the returns in
the Iowa Senatorial contest are
checked and re-checked. were an
nounced today by the official tabu-
lators here. Steck and Senator
Smith w. Brookhart are running
so close now that Colonel e. tB.
Hhayer, in charge of the tabula-
ton, would not even say which
candidate was in the lead.
Outside of Polk county, in which
Is Des Moines, Steck has a major
ity of 2,119, Brookhart claiming
324,90S paper ballots, 9O,7SS ma
chine ballots and 6,453 which Steck
protests. Steck claims 327, 523 pa

State majority and fourteen pos
sible error, Brookhart today claimed
So more votes than his opponent,
These figures change by two and
three almost hourly, it was stated,
and the fluctuation will likely con-
tinue for two weeks. However,
since the Committee on Privileges
and Elections will not be reformed
until Congress convenes, no official
results of the election, and possibly
no credible unofficial report, will be
given before then.
The disposition of the protested
ballots and the re-check on Polk
county returns will doubtless decide
the contest
Error Accounts For $50
One big error occurred when
Des Moines election officials failed
to record the votes made on the old
style voting machines by those vot-
ing the straight party lever, most
having voted by the scratch lever.
Brookhart's net gain in this re-
count was $50.
The returns being tabulated are
being guarded night and day in
the Senate Office Building to pre-
vent tampering. Most Of those
concerned with the election are
worked up to a fever pitch. list
fight between Roy H. Rankin, Sec
rotary to Senator Brookhart, and
Philip w. Turner. chief official
tabulator, over differences in fig

Rankin is alleged to have &C.
cused Turner of putting down the
wrong figures for Brookhart: Tur,
ner retorted You're liar. and
70 five minutes the men tussled
until Colonel Thayer separated
them. Rankin weighs around 100,
and Turner around 1S5, but there
was no decision and no marks
of injury on either today.

THE CAMDEN BRIDGE FLUkE

The decision of Chairman E. c.
Stokes, of the Republican State Com
mittee, to force the issue on the Cam
den bridge is a pleasing bit of intel
ligence at this time. The attempt OF
the Pennsylvania politicians to make
the bridge free was ridiculous in the
first place. 1t was trifling with the
New Jersey public patience. The at
tempt to make the Camden bridge an
issue in the gubernatorial campaign
has died abornin', as A. Harry Moore,
the Democratic candidate, has decided
for free bridge.
Chairman Stokes says there is no
Camden bridge issue, as the matter OF
a free bridge was settled when the
bonds were voted for the cost of $780,
100000. Pennsylvania will have to
show better cause than the mere effort
of politicians before it can force New
Jersey to donate her share, $30,OO0,O00,
of the cost of the Camden bridge.
Taxes are high enough now, goodness
knows.

EXECUTIVES IN DUPLICATE

Governor Smith of New York has
ing engagements on the advice of his
physician in order to give his throat
a rest. He declares in commenting
on the demands made upon him for
speaking engagements that the State
should have two Governors-one to
administer the law and be chief ex-
ecutive, and the other to do the
speech making.
BY the same line of reasoning cities
should have two mayors, colleges two
presidents and successful business
establishments two chief executives
how he does it.
Governor Smiths problem of at
tending to his business as Governor
and in filling speaking engagements
at the same time is the problem OF
many. Successful men and women
are called from their work constantly
to make speeches when they can af-
ford neither the time nor the energy
which good speech making entails.
The idea of executives in duplicate
is an excellent one, but little diff
cult to put into operation. Like Gov
ernor Smith, the successful execu-
tives in other fields, who are called
upon frequently to make public ad-
dresses, would all probably prefer to
remain at their desks and leave the
speech making for their doubles.

Some AbominabIe Liars

I have known some abominable
force of habit, but there was never
one who didn know better. and
never one whose conscience did not
smite him when he lied. But con-
science can become case-hardened l
once knew a young chap in an office
who had the chronic lying habit. II
he could not lie about one thing he
would lie about another. He was
much infatuated with a nice looking
girl in the office and finally his plausi-
BILE manner induced her to marry him,
but he never amounted to anything
and he never will. He was chronic
borrower, and got a loan from the
manager of the Office for his wedding
ring and he has never paid it back to
this day-about twenty years ago, or
nearly that. / used to see him now
and then, and he was always doing
well, making lots of money, when
knew he wasn't doing much, couldn't
hold job long, was constantly chang
ing from one thing to another, and
was always in debt. The fellow who
brazenly runs into debt is the smooth
est of all liars. But he gets away
with it, somehow. And there are gen
orally more than one in every COM
munity.

the screen will be seen worn by
some. of Hollywood's most beautiful

The. episodes in this picture call

naturally the finest in wearing ap-

The picture is completed and will

For Your Amusement
Betty Weston Must Not Part with Her Hair

Sometimes it seems as if theatrical
entrepreneurs lie awake of nights
figuring out new and unusual stipu-
lations to put in their contracts with
their employees. A little cogitation,
however. will disclose to the person
on the side lines that there is good
reason for every seemingly strange
stipulation that is put into an actors
contract.
Betty Weston, the heroine of "The
Gorilla" at the Selwyn Theatre on
Forty-second street in New York, has
just signed a new contract with her
employers, and perhaps the most i'm
portant stipulation in it is that she is
not permitted to cut her hair through
out the duration of the contract. The
producers of "The Gorilla" are as

sensitive to beauty as anyone else,
but it was not altogether an aesthetic
impulse which caused them to pro
vide for the retention of Miss Wes-

One of Miss Weston's chief duties
in the play is to be the party of the
second part in that now famous ta-
bleau at the end of the second act in
which there appears in the pale glare
of a spotlight down stage, center, a
ferocious gorilla clutching to his
hairy chest a beautiful damsel of
scant costume and unloosened tress-
es. There is not the slightest doubt
in the minds of the producers of "The
Gorilla" that nine-tenths at least of
the effect of this tableau would be

RANDOM NOTES
BY THE EDITOR
Back to Earlier DAYS

In the old or earlier days of The Pal
isadian | used to print each month a
department of Random Notes" de-
voted to little discussions of any sub
ject that came to mind. These notes
had no relation to specific things and
were little talks on whatever the
writer considered worthy / have had
in mind a return to these short forms
of writing on things that seem
considered my productions in the
writing line of much force. But what
ever they have been they have been
at least sincere. In point of fact, | do
not believe | ever wrote an insincere
line in my life, nor one that was in

one thing | am also sure, and that is
that | have never put down much that

are many things in this world that

A writer, unless he be more or less
discreet, can undo many good inten-
tion and work of another. SO the re-
sponsibility of writing for the public
prints is large viewed from any angle.
Not everyone fully appreciates this
truth, hence much mischief may be
created by wrongfully interpreting
things and discussing them in print.
Plausible People
OF course there are people in COM
munities who do many daring and
with wrong motive to start with, at
others from pure spite or envy. Many
a man in a community has influence
without a blessed thing in the world
to warrant it, and little to bolster it
up beyond a glib tongue and plausi
times out of ten humbug. Men of
honest convictions and unselfish mo-
tives need no plausible speech or boil
steering by excuses. Any right in
tending, right thinking man always
has the courage of his convictions and
than his simple spoken word. He in
spires by his very look, albeit l be-
lieve that the biggest liars in the
world are those who can look you in
the eye and lie like cutthroat. Of
course these are the most dangerous
liars. They often win favor by the
look of sincerity they show in the
cold audacity of their look. And this
type of liar is always the truest cow
ard. He never fails to wilt and wither
the moment he sees you're on. There
is really little difference between the
chronic liar and the common thief.
The thief is always a liar, his busi-
ness of gain itself being inspired by
lying.
