Literary Anecdote

There was nothing that James Whit
comb Riley liked better than a cup Of
weak tea. Once when he and Edgar
Wilson (BilD Nye were eating choc-
olate soldiers after an arduous siege
Of lecturing, the talk turned to fame.
"The keystone of every famous au-
thor's glory is one character" said
Nye. Shakespeare achieved fame
through inventing the character of
Falstaff. Dickens is deservedly well
known for his Samuel Weller. Thack-
cray created Becky Sharp. Now then,
Mr.. Riley, from what character Of
your invention did you obtain your
reputation
81 got it Orphan Annie" answered
Riley, who had not had more than
three cups Of diluted tea since dinner
time.-Akron Beacon-J Journal.

Strictly Private

He was a newcomer to the bank and
consequently found his duties rather
hard to remember; but all this was
forgotten when he received his first
pay envelope.
In businesslike manner he quickly
checked the contents before signing
the receipt. Then his eye caught the
words underlined in black:
Your salary is your personal busi-
ness and a confidential matter. 1t
should not be disclosed to anyone"
The clerk grinned as he picked up
a pen and signed his name. Below he
added briefly:

are"

Hats Not Always Common

In Chaucer's Canterbury Tales"
the Merchant had upon his head "a
Flaundrish biever hat" 1t seems that
from this period hats became more
frequently worn, for there is mention
in some of the early writings by dis
tinguished people of "felt hattes," and
"blever hattes." Throughout medieval
times the wearing of hats was mark
of distinction and Of noble birth.

on the night Of the full moon, the
popular Holl Festival is celebrated by
the Hindus Of India. The ceremonies,
lasting for three days, are derived
from the ancient spring festival. This

no REvIEM DECISION

WASHINGTON, ian. 3.--lH9-The Su-
preme court today agreed to review the
decision of lower courts setting aside
the leasing Of the Teapot Dome, Wyo-
ming, naval oil reserve to Harry f.
Sinclair interests while Albert b. Fail
was secretary of the interior.
Government counsel had sought to
prevent consideration of the Sinclair
petition for review until the court
had rendered it's decision in the Elk
Hills naval reserve case against Ed
ward l.. Doheny and his companies,
which was argued in October and is
now under advisement. Attorneys for
Sinclair, however, took issue with the
governments counsels contention that
the Doheny case, which the government
won in both the district and circuit
courts, would decide the questions they
sought to raise, asserting that the two
cases presented materially different
law questions The federal district
court at Cheyenne, Wyo., sustained the
Teapot Dome lease and contracts
which the government attacked as in
valid because of fraud, but the circuit
court cancelled the lease and contracts.
Criminal proceedings against Doheny
and Fall on account of the Elk Hills
contract resulted in their acquittal re-
Gently. Sinclair and Fall are to be
tried here next month on criminal in
cictments of conspiracy to defraud in
the Teapot Dome.

couragement to republican leaders
who had requested him to plead with
fhe appointee to refuse the appoint
ment They had told him to tell
Smith that there was small chance
of his being permitted to serve the
Mckinley term because of contrbu
tions made to his primary campaign
by public service corporation officials.
BY an apparent pre-arranged plan,
the senate paved the way today for
;he Smith case by referring to the
elections committee the credentials
of Senator Nye, republican, North
Dakota, whose election has been in
no way questioned.
When Senator Nye presented him
self to take the oath, Senator Reed,
Missouri, chairman Of the committee,
that uncovered the Smith campaign
contributions. moved that Nyes
credentials be referees to the cleo
tions committee 'as the proper form
in all cases"
"The Missourian" explained that he
had no personal objection to the
credentials but it was the proper
procedure for a standing committee to
examine those OF all senator's to
determine whether they were inn
proper.
After a sharp discussion, the SEN
ate referred the credentials but per
mitted Senator Nye to take his seat.
This course was suggested by Senator
Robinson, the democratic leader, and
was approved by both Senator Reed
and Senator .Ashurst, democrat, Ari-
zona, author ofIase epending resolution
which would bar Smith at the door of
the senate.
Both senator's explained that they
had no objectione to the seating of
Senator Nye, Ashurst declaring that
he had not been charged with ex-
cessive campaign expenditures, "and
so far as | know, was honestly
elected"

SUPREME COURT
GUSTS FLORIDA
REVENUE CASE

WASHINGTON, jan (P,-Florida
was denied permI ssdon by the sir
rreme court today to challenge the
validity OF the inheritance tax pro-
visions of the present federal reve-
nue. law.
In an opinion by Justice Suther,
iand tthe court held that the state
had failed to establish that it was
suffering q wrong which furnished
ground far redress by the courts.
Florida had pointed out that under
its consultation it was prohibited
from Imposing 4 tax upon estates
and had insisted that the provision
Of the federal law to give credit up
to 80 pGr cent on federal Inheritance
taxes for similar state taxes was q
iiacrimina4i3n against Florida ana
against its citizens.
The law assa'led was declared .ba

the fact that it tnterfered WITH the
exercise by the state of Fits full
powers Of taxation or had the effect
Of removing property from its reach
was not sufficient grounds, the court
held, for judicial relief The statute
was defined as the supreme law Of
thes land, which could not be affected
by the constitution or the, laws Of
states
"Whenever the constitutional pow
ers of the federal government anc
those Of the state come into CON
flict the latter must yield" the court
said, adding that congress cannot
accommodate its legislation to the
conflicting or dissimIl lar laws of tho
several states nor control the divers
conditions to be found in the various
states.
PLAINLY there is no substance III.
the contention that the state has
sustained or is immed ately in dan,
ger of sustaining any direct injury
as the result of the enforcement Of
the act in question"
Immediately after the delivery Oh

to eliminate the Inheritance tax pro-
visions of the federal revenue law.

NOW these deaths are on our con-

tan Life Insurance company that

At this point Blanton asked Celler
if he wished to make alcohol as at
tractive to palate as possible?'
IT do not want to make it attrac-
tive" Celler replied, "but the gov
ernment does not have to go to sucn
extreme. 1t does not have to resort
to lynch law in order to enforce this
act"

house and members of tho other
chamber drink and drink to excess,
