Almost imperceptibly the desire
to live began to push its way
through the dark, smothcring
cloak Of despair beneath which
Faith had buried her soul. The deli
cious break: 1T. which she had en-
joyed despite her unwillingncss to
do so, had q great deal to do with
it, Of course, but the tide of joy
which had swept over her when she
learned the truth-that Bob loved
her and that he had merely been
trying to persuade Cherry to ac-
cept Nils Jonson If he proposed
again-had not been pushed back
as far as she thought, when the
sense Of her own unwerthiness had
descended upon her. That joy was
still with her, fighting valiantly for
control Of her nerves and heart, and
inch by inch it was gaining upon
her self-loathing. No human being
can long hate himself as Faith had
done and keep his sanity. Georges

AL Smith appeared to have reg

down south, one sometimes heard
that Al had clear track and who
cared? But like some Of the south

the same thing, they probably
wouldn't care to be Quoted.
For pure, masculine appeal, how.
ever, there is no candidate to rival
Governor AL Richie Of Maryland,
who addressed the jackson Day
dinner. If that has anything to do
with the swing Of the women's
vote, as it probably has, Richie has
q splendid asset there. Another
type of male beauty, which some
women would prefer, is possessed
by Committeeman J. Bruce kremer
Of Montana, who isn't candidate.
One heard often at the Repub-
lican meeting in December that
Republicans look lots more pros
porous than Democrats. Abso-
lutely absurd! Your correspondent
would confidently put Richie,
Kremer, Ed Hurley Of Chicago, Sam
Fordyce Of Missouri, Bill Comstock

Romance and Cancer

Cancer, according to Chicago specialist,
can be eliminated by proper manipulation. OF the
laws of heredity. Many years OF experiments
with mice have convinced this specialist that
the right kind Of marriages would soon relegate
cancer to the list Of diseases that mankind has
conquered.
I'VE could wipe out cancer" laments the
specialist, IF only there were no such thing as
romance in this world"
Probably the specialist is right. 1t is also
true that great many other evils could be
eliminated if only romance were non-existent.
Many terrible crimes, many heartaches, many
Disappointment and failures and suicides are
due directly to the force which we call romance
Take the urge to romance out OF the human
heart and you would have world that would
run much more smoothly, with very much less
physical and mental suffering.
Unfortunately, however, many other things
would also be eliminated.
For the demiurge--the force that impels
each living person to build, or counterfeit as
we'll as may be possible, an authentic romance
If some sorts precisely the one thing, more
than any other thing, that lifts US above the
beasts. Without it we could stagnate IN per-
feet peace forever; we could gain perfect con-
tent, could forget our worries, our doubts, our
goading aspiration, and lie in the wallow OF self
satisfaction as placidly as any pig. We could
ignore the mystic glimmer of the wheeling stars
far overhead, could forget the torturing pull
sations of the creative urge, could live and die
strangers to the painful ecstasies that are born
Of high visions and lofty Dreams
But somehow, it wouldn't be worth it.
The brief, unhappy existence of Shelley
will always seem preferable to the long-drawn
out, uneventful career of Daddy Mossback,
eating and drinking and sleeping through q
sheltered century in some isolated mountain
cabin. Dean Swift, one Of the unhappiest men
who ever lived, had better life, on the whole
than the SNUG, portly country gentlemen OF
his day who never knew hunger or heartache.
For all birth and growth are painful. The
human race, born in dank caves and surrounded
BY woes from the days Of its infancy, is at last
growing-oh, SO painfully Ito something ap
preaching maturity.
And romance, bringer Of trouble and mis-
fortune is the chief contributing element.

to find extreme youth sitting in
places OF great responsibility.
Young men, scarcely out Of their
teens and with the college doors
but recently closed behind them, are
given opportunities in New York
with which they might not be
trusted elsewhere. For New York
cries for youth and young ideas,
and is generally ready to gamble
on the results.
Not long ago . national magazine
with circulation Of about mil
lion or more, gave the position Of
editor to q young man OF about 22.
A dozen reporters came to inter-
view him. The youth, peering
timidly out the door, concluded that
he did not care to run this gamut.
A moment later he appeared out
side the door and asked the report
ers what they wanted. They replied
tha' they were waiting to see the
new boy editor.
HE isn't in," replied the boy edi-
"Who are your" asked the re-
porters.
"I'm the office boy and I have
been instructed to tell you to come
back later in the day." said the
editor.
He would have escaped with this
deceit but for 4 girl reporter, who
had CHANGED to see his photograph
before leaving her office. Waiting
until the others had gone, she cor
nered him and got an interview.
It was said Of John Farrar, when
he was editor Of The Bookman, that
strangers more than once suspected
him Of being the office boy. He
was fresh from college when he
took this position, and was one Of
the most youthful appearing editors
in New York.

unent now that it has turned its air-mail routes
over to private contractors for operation? OF

There is agreement that the federal govern

BY at least ten years. But there is another job
Just like that one, just as promising, but at
present just as dangerous and unlnvitlng to
private initiative as tranScOntinental air mail
was seven years ago.
This next job for the government to tackle
IS transatlantic air mail.

Oh airplanes that will be foolproof and SO sturdy

It has the money and commands the engineer
ing brains to build great concrete seadromes to
float in mid-ocean, sheltered pools in which the
planes can descend in case Of storm or accident,
with quarters for crews and mechanics.
The engineering genius that built the Panama
Canal is not going to fail in the problem Of
building seadromes, for that problem has no

NEW YORK THEATRE LETTER
LIE Gallienne H0nOrs Ibsen-And How!
Leads Her Company Through Three Of Henrik's
Plays in Day; Then TO Bed
BY LEONARD HALL

New York, April 1O.-Old Henrik
Ibsen, the great Morse dramatist,
now has been carrying on-boy, man
and angel-for one hundred years,
and this notable centenary in the
world theater has been celebrated
here by lot Of speeches and the
dramatic efforts Of Miss Eva Lie
Gallennc.
This young actress manager, who
for two years has been running
what she calls The Civic Repertory
Company in an old barn Of a thea
ter down on the upper rim of Green
witch Village, has added Henrik's
fine play "Hedda Gabler" to her
bag of dramatic tricks, and is APP
pearing once or twice a week in the
play with considerable success.
This production. however, is only
an item in Eva's birthday party for
old Henrik. When lie Galliennc cell
ebrates "a centenary, it stays cclc-
brated, and how! She decided, lack
ing lbsen's presence, to puff out the
five score candles in a bigger and
more constructive way, and the gale
that occurred seriously unsettled the
shipping in New York harbor.
What happened when Eva got
through must have set the play
wright rolling in his cool tomb.
For she presented no less than
three Of his plays in one and the
same day. At 1880 a. H., Eva
and her company presented IA dress
rehearsal of "Hedda Gabler." Re-
suscitated by heavy drains Of
aromatic spirits Of ammonia, at $3.50
p. m. the actors went after "Thc
Master Builder" and had that situa-
ton mopped up by five.
at $3.50 p. M, faint yet pursu-
ing. the company went at "John Ga
briel Borkman."
At midnight, with eight hours
of Ibsen shouted, whispered, and
cooed, the actors staggered to their
homes, fell into their trurdle beds
fully clothed, and slept for IA hours.
Nothing like this theatrical six
day bicycle race has ever been seen
in the theater, and probably will not
be until the ambitious Eva, on sc.3lo
Shakespeare birthday, does three Of
the Bard's plays, with snappy
midnight show Of "Macbeth" to
wind up the celebration.
Intensive inquiry ard research
have failed to turn up anyone VITO

son that if such a person really
existed, he is now either in a mad
house or his grave.

PURCHASE CASE
IS ARGUED HERE
Judge JansOnius Takes Matter
Under Advisement-3 Cues.
tiOns Involved

Taking nuder advisement the case
of George H. Purchase, former
states attorney of Sioux county,
who is appealing from a decision
Of Governor A. G. Sorlie ousting
him from office, Judge Fred Jan
sonius yesterday announced that it
might be some time before nc would
be able to give a decision in the
matter, due to the length of the
transcript and the many other mat
tiers now before him awaiting
action.
The case was called here yester-
day, having been transferred here
from Napoleon by stipulation.
Transcript Of the testimony taken
in the original hearing before the
governor referee was presented to
the court here, and arguments made
by counsel for both the state and
the defendant.
Three questions are presented as
the basis for the appeal from Gov
ernor Sorlie's action. One is that
no testimony was offered at the
referees hearing to show that the
five persons who signed the original
complaint against Purchase were
electors of Sioux county at that
time. The second point is that a
bond was not filed at the time Tie
petition was filed, and the third is
that the governor did not decide the
case within 10 days, as specified by
law, after the records had been
presented to. him by the referee.
Purchase was removed from Of
flee by the governor following a
hearing on claims of malfeasance in
office and drunkenness While in
office.
