COup d'etat in Poland
New York WOrld)

That dscontented elements in Poland should rally
around a national hero like Marshal Pilsudski is not
unnatural. This discomfort, however, has its roots
deeper than in the nature Of the existing govern
ment. Poland's troubles arc primarily economic,
and the supplanting of the constitutional regime
with dictatorship will not Of itself bring solu-
tion If Marshal Pilsudski succeeds in establishing
himself at the head of the state he will have to face
precisely the problems and the same obstacles
encountered by his constitutional predecessors.
The burden of REIMBURSEMENT has proved more thai.
war-impovershed people can carry. Unemploy-
ment remains a serious problem; industry is de-
pressed; the reformed currency has badly dcprcciat
cd, and the budget has shown deficit despite heavy
taxation. While these troubles are basically eco
nomic, they have been complicated by internal pot
cal dssensions and the fear Of aggressions by for
eign neighbors.
Whatever government is set up in Poland as re-
suit of the recent outbreak will have to face difficult
financial problems whose solution calls for further
sacrifices by the people. These sacrifices will not be
conducive to its popularity, and it is not improbable
that recognition of this fact has helped pave the
way for the elevation to power Of "a wartime hero
like Pilsudski.

Dog in the Manger
(Thc Minneapolis Journal)

Unless Pennsylvania voters should Cverturn III
November the million plurality given the Republican
ticket two years ago, Congressman William S. Ware
is to succeed George Wharton Pepper in the United
States Senate next March.
Senator Pepper is an exceptionally talented man,
learned and able, possessor of brilliant legal mind,
sgnally honored with degrees by many colleges and
universities, and originally drafted into the Senate
without solicitation on his part. Senator for only
a little more than four years, he has already made
a name for himself reputation for legislative abll-
ity and judgment that is nationwide.
Congressman Ware is a typical city machine boss,
whose training since he left school at fifteen has ali
been on the ultra-practical side Of getting out the
vote and distributing the jobs. His Senatorial
qualifications are comparable to those OF former
Senator William E. Lorimer of Illinois, who SINH
larly advanced from ward politics to Congress- and
from Congress to the Senate In the fifteen years
that he has been in Congress Mr. Ware has done little
or nothing to make his name known outside his owl,
Philadelphia district.
The majority Of Pennsylvania Republicans did
not want Ware Senator Pepper and Governor Pin
chot together got the bulk Of the votes, but the
ballots garnered by Pinchot came chiefly from Pep
per and retired to private life this extremely valu
able Senator.
Pinchot insisted right along that he was running
to beat Ware.
The returns indicate that Pinchot. by running
nominated Ware. He had been repeatedly warned
that this was what would happen, but he refused
to withdraw.

Of dog and some hay and horse. Unable to ea

Editorial Comment
The False Whisker School Of Authorship
Chicago Tribunc)


Sinclair Lewis is obtaining the material for his
next novel by posing a book agent in order to
gain ready access to preachers in country towns
He hopes by concealing his identity and purposes
to pry successfully into the lives Of ministers
and the affairs Of their churches than he could by
other and more honorable means. Other writers
Of fiction may rely in the old-fashoncd way, upon
creative imagination and an understanding OF
human motives; he will have nothing less than a
confession, and he will not hesitate to wear false
whiskcrs to get it.
Mr. Lewis, it will be recalled, declined prize of
$1,000 for his last novel because he explained,
the granting Of prizes has demoralizing effect
upon authors Mr.. Lewis was ovcrzeaous. We
believe he might have accepted tho money withou.

Kidding Congress

There are plenty of instances of congressional
asininty to be sure but for every stupid act there
are ninety and nine cheap jokes. on the stage III
newspapers, funny columns, in the humorous maya
zines.
Many humorists won their way to fame with i
few variations of the mother-in-law joke or the
travelling salesman joke or others Of that ilk. Mo-"
it's getting to be so that congressman, in the
vague minds Of many Of our modern humor'sts, has
become a good peg which to hang almost any
kind of worn out gag.
Mrs Florence Prag Kahn, congresswoman from
California believes it's going too far
"Ths utterly false and misleading chatter, just
in pitiful attempt to be comca is breeding in our
people an utter lack of respect for our government
We need to preach less about what the government
should do for the citizen and more of what the
citizen should do for the government"
It might be well if the country had a sober
thought about Congress once in while, if only fol
the sake of an original joke or two!
