A RETURN TO THE GENUINE

The world welcomes things that
are genuine. The greater they are
the greater the welcome. People
become nauseated with the thou
sands of over press agented near
or wouldbe greats, crooked CON
tests and b%oughten honors. The
public applauds and seeks to be
thrilled but the edge is blunted by
mental reservations.
Hence the magnificent, spon-
taneous outburst of honest affec-
ton and esteem for Lindbergh.
Lindbergh, the youthful, the genu-
inc, the clean, who, though modest,
has proven he has the capacity for
his new role and the mental and
moral calibre to fill the garments
of greatness. Not the least of his
services to the world is giving it
a new sight of the standard by
which genuine achievement may
be measured.

COM ENCING LIFE

We congratulate as we'll as en-.
Wy the twenty-six young women
and men who last evening finished
their twelve years of public school
work. 1t is a wonderful thing to
live and more wonderful if we
have learned to live. Education,
broad and balanced, should teach
us something of how to make as
much of life as our talents and
trained ability allow. 1t was only
thirty-seven years ago the editor
finished high school himself. The
theme of his commencement ora
ton was that knowledge. rein
forced by education and mixed
with experience is the greatest
power in the world. 1t is unfor-
tunate that the most valuable ex-
perience comes so late. The only
substitutes for it are the caution
and sound advice which youth is
prone to disregard. Seemingly,
the great error in the plan of this
life is that we have but one try
at it.

Note in this action of the Presi
dent another manifestation of his
political sagacity. He refuses tc
permit the Anti-Saloon group to
dictate to him openly and directly,
yet he takes their specifications
for a man and finds another can
didate than their own within the
service ably qualified to handle
the job. He retains the friend
ship of Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon, who doubtless did not
wish Major Haynes retained, and
from the standpoint of the public
he places in the executive posi-
tions men of ability and standing.
Dr.. Doran has been chief chemist
in the prohibition unit for many
years. while the worst that can be
said against Mr.. Lowman is that
he lacks experience in this par
ocular line of duty. He is an able
nan, sympathetic with the law,

CLOSE-UPS in THE
NATIONS CAPITAL
(Ry Stephen James,

Wayne B. Wheeler, of the Anti
Saloon league, has lost MS first
battle of major Importance in re
cent years. The elimination OF
Roy A. Haynes as acting commits
sioner of the prohibition enforce
ment service is achieved only af-
ter long and stubborn resistance
on the part of Wheeler, who is
Haynes most persistent booster
for the post of chief prohibition
officer.
Officially, the battle waged be-
tween Wheeler and those opposed
to Haynes has been called a draw,
with President Coolidge as a re-
fierce. Actually, any battle that
Wheeler does not win is lost. to
the extent that it reflects the grow
ing strength of those opposed to
prohibition in its present form.
Haynes is out, but the Anti-Saloon
league finds comfort, perhaps, in
the fact that General Lincoln c..
Andrews, who no longer will be
assistant secretary of the treas
ury in charge of prohibition en-
forcement after August l.
The new officials, Seymour Low
man, former Lieutenant Governor
of New York, who succeeds And
rews, and DIR. J. M. Dorian. the new
prohibition commissioner, are rea-
sonably acceptable to the drys, but
they had made the retention of
Haynes the issue, and were defeat
ed. The league had issued what
many termed an ultimatum to the
President. demanding that en-
forcement be placed in the hands
of an enforcement officer who is
in sympathy with the law he will
be called upon to enforce, who is
capable of performing the duties
of his Office. and who has had ade-
quate experience in prohibition n
forcement."
When writing these specifca-
tions, the league had the notion.
they would fit no one except Ma
jOr Haynes. President Coolidge
seemingly accepted the challenge.
and, cannily, found a man in the
prohibition unit who comes up in
a great many respects to the re-
quirements of the league. DR..
Doran has had long and varied
experience in the prohibition Of |
ice, he is actually in sympathy {
With the law, though not perhaps g
0 the almost fanatical extent in i
yhich Major Haynes believes in it, Il
nd there are few to question his 0
opacity for administering his new .

Seven out of every ten univer-

Johnson claims, are graduates of
Howard.
An index of the eagerness with
which this race is seeking higher
learning these days, however, is
evidenced by his statement that
since the days of slavery only
about 10000 negro men and wo-
men have attained a college edu-
cation, while today nearly 1000
are enrolled in colored institutions
throughout the country.
To Howard come students from

Africa, the West Indies, Canada,
Jamaica and Porto Rico contribute

Censorship of questionable lit
erature, particularly the old mas
tiers, has come much into publ,
comment recently, and the ques
ton arises as to how the posta
and custom authorities become
aware of the prevalence of this
class of reading.
Volunteer informers, hundreds
of them are responsible for the
barring from the mails of many
of the books and pamphlets which
veer to far away from the line of
decency. The official censor of
this class of reading is Horace j.
Donnelly, solicitor in the Post
Office Department. Donnelly pas
ses on the legality of mailable ma
terial, and on his advice question
able books, pictures and other
matter is forbidden the use of the
mails.
Donnelly is called upon to act
as a combination of book review
err, critic and censor, and he in
sists that in all decisions the rul-
ing is in strict accordance with
the law. To mention certain of
the forbidden articles would be to
make them popular, but a few of
them are so-called masters, which
have been read and enjoyed, by
a certain few, for hundreds of
years. Mostly they are transla-
tons from the Latin and the
French, and in the translation into
English they lose a certain deli
cacy OF expression which the Lat
in languages so well convey, and
become vulgar and obscene in
English.

Many interesting revelations are
made in the study of the Congress
sional Directory. One that i'm
presses itself upon this writer is
the number of Representatives and
Senators who were born in states
and countries other than those
they now represent in Congress.
Many are native sons of other
states than those which reward
them with their votes and conf
dence.
If Ohio is crowding Virginia as
the Mother of Presidents, she al
so has more than her share of
native born Ohioans in the legis-
lative halls of the nation. In ad-
dition to her W % legislators,
II others from various states
claim Ohio as their birthplace.
For instance, Senator Norris, of
Nebraska, Senator Reed. of Mis-
souri,. Senator Dill, of Washington
and Senator Robinson of Indiana.

the Buckeye commonwealth.
Next in line come the states of

thirteen sons who have prospered
elsewhere; Indiana has her own
luota and eight others in the
Congress. as has Pennsylvania,
while Iowa. with eleven represent
atives speaking for other states is
next to Illinois, and third in the
list. One of the Senate's most
distinguished members, Senator
Borah, of Idaho, is an Illinoisan
by birth. -,

DENVER, Dec. 12.-One of the
Oldest persons to ever file suit in
Denver's courts for divorce was
found in Mrs. Rosi Vitello Perello.
s5.year-old bride Of Francisco
Perello. IS. The couple have been
married one year.
The grounds for divorce were
cruelty, non-support and fraud.
When reporters learned of the
novel proceedings, they locked to
the Perello home expecting to find
the place in strife and turmoil, but
there was no evidence Of physical
cruelty.
Rosi, as Perello calls her. was in
the bedroom arranging colored
crazy quilt on the bed, while Fran.
cisco, the mister" of the house
hold. was engaged in the kitchen
preparing the evening meal, Spin
ach and toast was the menu, ac-
cording to appearances.
Both are of foreign birth, and
Mrs. Perello cannot speak English.
Despite the fact that she has lived
in Denver 40 years she clings ten
aciously to many old world GUS
toms. Perello speaks . broken
tongue.
s ooh! Troubles, that's what you
want to know about? exclaimed
Francisco.
Because he felt sorry for her be.
cause Of treatment the old lady re.
ceived from her grandchildren,
Francisco related in his broken ex.
preston how he decided Ito take a
chance and marry Rosi." He had
never been married before.

She throws out nice things l cook.
She is a big crouch, she Is crank,
that's all.
According to the petition filed
in the court, agreement was made
at the time the couple were mar
ried. to divide their property half
and half. Perello, the petition
states, did not live up to the con-
tract in that Mrs. Perello has
never received any of the five
thousand dollars he was supposed
to have had simply because he said,
he did not have the $1,000.
Mrs. Perello asks for 500 dollars
a month alimony, and asks also
that the deed to her home be
turned back to her.
Perello is crippled with rheuma.
tism and is not able to work very
much. He says he has tried to live
up to the marriage contract by do
ing the work around the house.
