GOV. SMITHS PLANS IF NOT
 NOMINATED.

political writer in the New York World says Gov Al Smith is now filling the last office he will ever hold unless he is nominated for President of the United States. It declares, if it is demonstrated next year that the Demo- cratic Party will not nominate a Catholic for President, he will accept one of the private executive positions that has been offered to him, take over the real leadership of Tammany Hall, make that a non- partisan organization and under take to see that New York City has the best government any large city has ever had He will give special attention to solving the New York housing problem and to raising the living level of the teemng masses in the city. He will also devote attention to the metropolitan transportation situation
 It is his plan to continue to fight for reforms in New York State He will exert his influence to sever State and National politics. The first step toward this end, he believes, is to have the State officials and Legislature elected in other years than those in which occur Presi- dentia elections and to give State officers four year terms He is opposing the Constitutional amendment that proposes four-year terms for the Governor with elections concurrent with the Presidential election He favors the four-yeai terms but wants the election at different time
 So interested it is said, is Gov. Smith in the idea of devoting his life to improving govern mental conditions in New York City, particularly and the State of New York, generally, that his interest in the Presidential contest is wholly impersonal. If nominated, he will make an active and earnest campaign. It will be- it is said neither silent front porch campaign, bu he will take the issues to the people and expent every effort and all the skill of which he i capable to gain the victory, and if elected h. will give the country the best administration of which he is capable But if not nominated he will begin immediately to make effective hi matured plans for the betterment of New Yorl City and State.

TUNNEY JUSTIFIED THE CRITICS.

Gene Tunney's successful defense of his title in yesterdays battle against Jack Dempsey was a reminder of the days of Jim Corbett. It proved that ring generalship and science count in athletics Throughout the fight, except in the almost fatal seventh round, Tunney master of the situation and forced the battle to be waged acording to his plans just Corbett was want to do in his day.
 The short, ten-round contest does not fit exactly into the art of boxer like Tunney. If the contest had been scheduled to go for 20 or 25 or rounds. the rule a couple of decades and more ago. it is safe to say that Tunney, with his skill and generalship would have avoided the mix-up in the seventh round that all but cost him the championship crown He would have waited until his oppon- ent had been whittled down to the point that his finish would have been easy matter, just as Corbett trimmed the mighty John L. Sullivan in the New Orleans fight to the point where he waded in and finished it without difficulty by a knockout-out in the twenty-first round.
 The termination of this fight was one that justified the conclusions reached by the leading critics of pugilism. They fooled Shar- key because he let Dempsey out-general him and methods, when he plans the fighting, are more like those of Tunney than Dempsey's but he failed to use his science He waded in and got a trouncing such Tunney came neal getting in the seventh round Tunney, however had the stamina to come back into his own ant finish the fight as he had begun it, using hi quick mind, determined generllship and science to and end that was conclusive

The Indispensable League.
(New York Times. ]

(New York Times.)
 Though there has been frequent criticism of the League of Nations by European public men who have recently discussed it's position, it still stands secure and seems necessary, in the judg- ment of the most influential statesmen. Even Clemenceau who originally cynical about it and used notoriously to scoff at it, now is frank to admit that he does not see how the world could get on without it. Besides the several con crete questions which put before it from time to time, and most of which it has sats- factorily disposed of it's great utility is as a kind of open court-almost court of justice to which the nations of the world may resort with their complaints and demands, sure that they will get at least equitable hearing and an impartial discussion. The League of Nations as the great clearing house of the worlds public opinion still demonstrates it's power to meet a lon g-felt need.
 No one can fail to perceive that the dignity and importance of the League have been height ened by Nscount Cecs resignation from the British Cabinet, and by the events which led up. to his action. The failure of the Geneva Naval Conference made it inevitable that the problem of disarmament should be turned back to the League of Nations. It had Disarmament Committee at work which able to make only some preparatory and inconclusve recommends tions. Then came the Geneva Conference. Ii was undertaken with sort of lordly and super for air, as if to show that four five nations acting by themselves could do what the League was unable to do But that spirit of arrogance soon passed into one of chagrn When the sep arate negotiations broke down sorrowfully and completely the League of Nations at once renstated the one large organization through which the collective judgment and aspirations o all the civilized nations could be expressed and followed up by appropriate action.

Morgan's Men.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

Cincinnati Enquirer)
 The passions and bitterness of the Civil War have yielded to the touch of dspassionate Time the old hatreds dead the sad tragedies of that internecine strife well in the way of being forgotten. Today the memories of the Blue and the Gray intertwine, commingle, and out of them blossom only the flowers of sacrifice and herosm, rich with the perfume of noblest pur- pose and achievement.
 Some of these memories recalled by brief dispatch from Lexington, Ky, published in The Enquirer, wherein was related the story oi the gathering of Morgans famous command in the twenty-ffth annual session.
 John Morgan beau chevalier of the Old South, of the most picturesque figures in the mighty conflict in which the destnes of the nation decided, many years ago. He a brave, dashing cavalryman His northern invasion was a splendid gesture could have amounted to nothing, yet it put the fear of the Lord-or, rather. John Morgan and his mosstroopers-into the hearts of Northern millions.
 Morgan was veritable military wl-o the wisp; in the eyes of the North, hard-riding hard-fghting, merciless guerilla As matter o fact, he not remorseless military bandit but Southern gentleman and soldier, strong man, fired with the faith of his people in tho justice of their cause and ready to fight and di. in it's support.
 The events and incidents of the famous rait were repete with all the elements of romance and dream, athrob with the impulses and reve lations of high adventure. His capture, impris onment and escape constitute one of the mos thrilling stories of the war. He died like soldier, his raid is fgment of memory; bu so long men thrill to the narration of grea tale, he will live as an exemplar of high patriot ism and soldierly virtue
 His hard riders have vanished-all but pathetic few. It this remnant which gath cred the other day at Lexington to fraterniz and recount old tales of hardship and adventure And it there that colorful incident wal re-enacted. The widow of a Confederate Gen era personally presented to each of Morgan veteran survivors-as she had done each yea for many years-a red, red rose, the red ros of courage and glory. It was most appropriate and most touching.

More or Less True

1 More or Less True A man always expresses a will. ingness to die for his beloved and vet after he's had his life heavily insured in her favor he'll stay healthy enough to live hundred years. Can you blame women for getting out of patience with tn } brutes.
 Life wouldn't seem like such a failure to lot of girls if a way could be found of inflating-or de flating, as the case may be-the legs.
 We often have wondered which interferes most with driving, hav- ing wife in the back seat or sweetie around the neck. Some men bring candy and flowers home to their wives and others don't do things that re- quire them to spend a lot Of money squaring themselves.
 We pass a lot of cornfeds whu make us think of overstuffed fur. nitrre.
 There seem to be more eternal triangles than ever even though the automatics outraged wives now use are so much more deadly than the old fashioned horsa- whips they used to use were.
 Her unwillingness to admit she's been stung and company make a combination that often makes t possible for friend husband to hear friend wife say a few really nice things about him. The reason there is such biz demand for fur coats is because there is no demand at all for nice, warm undies.
 Son may come home from a date with his sweetie and bring back her complexion on his coat but there is no powder on ia ther's coat after he has spent the evening with mother, you'll mo- tice.
