BOWERS AS KEYNOTER.

In only one respect did Claud G. Bowers. New York World editorial writer sometimes called historian of the Democratic Party fall short of what had been expected of him in his keynote speech at the Demoratic convention That was his oversight regarding Prohibition. This neglect could be significant from two angles It might indicate Democratic tendency to follow Senator Reeds advice and keep Prohibition en- tirely cut of the campaign, it might be taken to mean that Gov. Alfred Smiths own position on Prohibition is we'll known that with him as the partys standard bearer there was no need to bring up the subject in opening the show.
 In all other respects MT Bowers certainly cannot be changed with disappointing his Demo- cratic colleagues. He sounded the charges of corruption against eight years of Republican ad- ministration. There few who will say he has overdrawn a large part of the sordid picture Facts, too stubborn to be lightly dismissed have become public property and substantiate many of the counts in the indictment he has brought against the present party in power

Life is just one thing after an other. As soon as young man grows up to where he doesn't have to get high marks he has to start trying for low scores.
 The way to have made angels out of the young devils of this day would have been to have made them out of those of yes terday.
 It pays so to live that your in nocence doesn't depend on the sickness of your lawyer.
 A woman's idea of brute is a husband who can love her in clothes that are six months be- hind the styles.
 It is easier to find lot to build on than to be satisfied with yours.
 Among other things the world is waiting for is a tire that is as easy to put on as flapper's dress.
 A good many persons are get ting their teeth and other parts taken out who need most to have something put in the vacancy back of the forehead.
 At least the lack of admiration seems to be mutual. The younger generation doesn't think any more of the older one than it does of the younger.

GIBSON BODY lays
INQUIRY PROGRAM
Suggested Changes Not Yet
Adopted by District Will
Be First Probed.
.s a general rule the Gibson sub

As general rule the Gibson sub
committee making comprehensive
study of the municipal administration
of the District Government for the
present will not go carefully into the
report made by the United States
Bureau of Efficiency on those activ.
tiles of the District Government where
the District Commissioners have al
ready carried out the recommenda.
tions made In these reports.
This policy was announced today by
Chairman Gibson after n committee
conference. but he cited as n notable
exception to this rule that the traffic
signal light investigation Is not con.
sidered closed and will be given con.
sideration by his subcommittee.
In tho discussion today looking to-
ward the adoption Of such policy,
Malcolm Kerlin, representative of
the Bureau OF Efficiency. who has
been cooperating with the Gibson
subcommittee in the studies OF Dis.
trict Offices. suggested that the Glib
son subcommittee in its review Of
the efflciency report should segregate
those where action had not been
taken by the Commissioners in line
with the recommendation Of the
Bureau OF Efficiency, and should ask
the Commissioners to explain why
they had not taken action as rec
commended. This drew a defense OF
the Commissioners from Representa-.
tive Blanton, who empha sized that
the Commissioners are given discre.
tionary powers and should not bo
forced to carry out recommendation
with which they are not in accord.
During the discussion that followed
the committee agreed that the Com.
missioners should have discretionary
powers and should not be forced, but
members felt that 1t was entirely
proper for them to look over the re.
ports and to confer with the Commits.
sioners as to why they had not carried
out the recommendations.
Mr.. Gibson distributed among the
members Of the subcommittee the
Bureau Of Efficiency report. He him.
self took for special study those re-
lating to the assessors and archi.
tect's offices. Representative Gilbert
OF Kentucky took the Public Utilities
report and Representative Bowman of
