Of trifles and less-than-trifles con-
stituted the major portion of a
colossal book output, it is comfort
ing to find two spokesman Of our
own fluctuating point Of view.
On one hand is Joseph Herges-
heimer, in the current American
Mercury, upholding what we have
long considered the finest prcsenta-
ton of what novelistic aims should
be, to wit: James Branch Cabell's
Beyond Life" and the essays by
this same writer in "Straws and
Prayerbooks."
On the othsr hand is Upton Sim
clair, still brandishing his crusad-
er's sword in volume titled,
money Writes!" "a. and C. Boni).
At various times Sinclair, has
turned his attention to the Chicago
packers, the newspapers, the Amer
lean universities, the money powers,
and all that. Though the pen may
be mightier than the sword, it is
Sinclair's conviction that gold is
mightier than the pen. Hence, says
he, the young idea is owned body
and soul before it starts.
II plead with the young writer to
identify himself with the real ideas
of awakening industrial democ-
racy," he shouts. 1.-THE artist
should produce intellectually for
the whole of mankind instead Of
with greed and contempt for a
greedy and contemptuous group
that is precisely the difference be-
tween q basis for true art and q
basis for false art"
We sympathize to some extent
with the general notion. All work.
ers and no players makes Jack q
dull booksmith, so far as we are
concerned. There is a field for
hymnals to the subway builder, the
skyscraper heroes, the symbols of
the machine age, the Utopians and
| the class strugglers.
Our own preference in novels
leans, however, in the direction
pointed by Cabell in Beyond Life. .
wherein he advises us that the
main, if not sole, purpose Of i'm
aginative writing is to afford es-
cape for those whose lives come in
constant contact with the struggles
that the Sinclairs prefer to portray.
Hergesheimer, in defining Cabell,
also defines Hergesheimer, who
seems to us to have been gradually
falling away since "The Bright
Shawl" Sinclair spouts of what
the artist should do, but Herge-
sheimer points out: mo one has
been thoughtful enough to define
art beauty and art, like
the blaze Of the sun, transcend the
literal power Of words. :"
Hergesheimer advocates objective
creation. He sees q "tragic dis.
crepancy between reality and what
il within the writer" IF there
were 4 satisfactory world about
him, there would be no necessity
for . man ito condemn himself ia
the solitude Of the PEN" There.
with is an agreement with Sinclair
that things are not what they might
be. But another coilrsa is suggest
ed:

Cabell has so often made clear, Is z

Lest Crime Incriminate Itself

President Coolidge's action in signing the
Walsh bill, which permits NJ. 7. Everhart, for
mer Secretary Falls son-in-law, to testify for
the government in the Fall-Sinclair trial with
out discriminating himself, serves to call atten-
ton once again to q detail of our criminal pro-
cedure which always will seem Incompetent
sible and useless to the layman.
That detail is the legal quirk which permits
p man accused Of crime to refuse to testify, but
which does not allow the jury to hold this
against him when it celebrates its verdict.
Everhart's case, of course, is different; not
accused of crime himself, he has refused to tes-
tify on the ground that he would incriminate
vent him from giving this excuse any longer.
It will not, however, affect the underlying sit
uation-the constitutional immunity" enjoyed
by all defendants and all witnesses.
Originally, one imagines, the law excusing a
prisoner from testifying was devised to pre-
vent the possibility Of torture being used to ex-
tort confession. 1t was not so many genera
tons ago that the rack and whip were consid-
cred essential adjuncts of any well-ordered
court. But we have progressed bit since
then. No prisoner, called into an American
court, need fear that judge and prosecutor will
stop the trial and affix the thumbscreWs to
get him to tell his story.
And so, we ask, why not abolish, or at least
radically modify, the whole constitutional i'm
munity" business? If man accused of MUIR
der, or bribery, .refrains from testifying in
his own behalf, why not allow the prosecutor
to draw for the jury's benefit the logical de-
duction-that the prisoner is guilty and knows
that any story he might tell on the witness
stand would make the fact plain?
The present. system is a fine one for guilty
men and INSCRIPTIONS lawyers. We fail to see
how it greatly benefits innocent men who are
wrongly accused; such men ought to be glad to
testify. And we fail also to see how it bene-
fits society as whole.

auto-intoxication? OF course, such
practice is not intended to take the
place of the fibre-containing food,
nor to prevent Of cure constipation.
But would it not offer q fertile
field for the development Of B
acidolphilus which would check the
decomposition Of the intestinal res
idue, thereby preventing auto-in-
toxication?"
Answer: have found that enemas
with the whey from sour milk are
sometimes effective in checking
bacterial putrefaction in the colon.
This treatment, however, is only
temporary, and is always unneces-
sary if one will make study Of
scientific dietetics and eat the right
kind of food and foods in proper
combination.

 The worst menace to'the welfare of the prevailing tendecy to centralize authority in the Federal government. This has resulted in burdening the people with meddlesome and mische- vious bureaucratic control and the very serious impairment of the fuda- mental American principle of self government. We .believe, therefore, that the issue of greatest importance confronting the people of the Nations, as in Alaska, is the reestablishment of local home rule in the country. This can be done only through com plete recognition of the Constitutional provision that all powers not specifi- cally granted to the Federal govern ment are reserved to the separate states and the application of the Jef- fersonian principle of States Rights.
 Believing that States Rights, gov ernment by the people, to be the para mount issue in the United States, the Democrats of Alaska endorse the candidacy of Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York, stalwart champion of States Rights and virile tribune of l fundamental democracy and authen- | tic traditions of the Democratic Par | Ity. Governor Smiths remarkable car ger as Chief Executive of the Empire State, his transcendant ability, un- failing courage and rugged honesty have been proved through long pub lie service and fine Democratic lead

 We believe in home rule and to that end we not only favor full territorial form of government, but we believe that all federal offices in the Terri tory should be filled through the ap- pointment of bona fide resident Alas kans.
 We believe in the fullest exercise of the jurisdiction now vested in the Alaska Legislature and that all mat ters not of purely federal concern should be administered by the Terri tory.
 We recognize the growing import ance of aerial navigation in Alaska and favor the establishment of air plane fields throughout the Territory.
 We believe that roads and trails are vital to the growth and development of the Territory and we urge con- tinuation of Federal appropriations for road and trail buildings and the full participation by Alaska in the benefits of the national appropriations for aid in highway construction.

OFFICE SPACE PUT
JUST ABOVE NEEDS
Survey Indicates Wise Con-
StruCtion Is Essential in
Certain Centers.

Although many millions of square
feet of new Office space have been add
ed during the recent years of the build
ing boom, business has kept fair pace
with construction according to survey
just completed by the National Associa-
ton of Building Owners and Managers.
The association, said to represent more
than $1,000, 100000 worth of commercial
properties in the United States and
Canada, over a long history of peri
odic surveys has come to a conclusion
that a vacancy of 10 per cent of the
available Office space is the normal con-
dition.
The survey, which reflects conditions
in 40 leading cities, shows that the
present vacancy is 11.88 per cent, or
only 1.38 per cent above normal.
Future Needs Uncertain.
Whether this condition will be long
maintained is open to question, accord
ing to John T. Redmond of Chicago,
chairman of the committee on renting
of the national association.

tute and local builders, which Sunday
was thrown open to the public for a
month of study.
In response to requests for visitors,
Boss & Phelps, the builders, have de-
cided to keep the house open from 9
am. to 9 pm. instead of closing at
6 pm, and each day during this month
the house may be inspected during this
12-hour period
Hundreds who have inspected the
house thus far have found wealth of
new ideas in home planning. construc-
lion, decoration and lanC-ping. The
house is the central unit of a group Of
nine English brick dwellings. 1t has
an outlook on large Government res
ervation in the center of @ street, be-
tween Forty-fourth street and Surrey
lane, and also affords vista of Foundry
branch valley, part of which is to be
developed as an extension of the great
Government parkway system.
The house may be reached by driving
out Q street to Wisconsin avenue, north
to Reservoir road, west to Forty-fourth
street and west a half block to the
house. Foxhall Village also may be
reached by bus from Dupont Circle and
street car to Foxhall station.
One of the unusual features of the
house, which has attracted favorable
comment from visitors, is the neat Eng
lish rock garden at the rear of the
house. 1t comprises lawns marked By
gravel and tagging stone, shrubs, Eng
lish ivy and other paintings. The
central feature of the garden is stone
bird bath and at one side is a stone
bench. There is high lattice fence,
set upon brick and concrete retaining
walls at. either side of the lot, while at
the rear of the yard is a two-car ga
rage. in which there are recesses con-
tanning lattice work on which rose
bushes later will climb.
The house is unusually large for
group dwelling, containing large living
room. running across virtually the full
length of the front of the house: dining
room, breakfast nook and kitchen on
the first floor; four bedrooms, one with
private bath, and linen closet and
second bath with shower equipment on
the second floor, and large studio
room with adjoining bedroom. modest
size room furnished as study and
large cedar closet on the third floor.
There is two-story screened porch
at the left rear of the dwelling and a
small service porch off the kitchen at
the right rear.

before January l.
Sound Judgement Advised.
However, I do not see anything in
the situation that can be construed as
alarming to the owner of well located
buildings already constructed, but ]
do see danger signals flying for those
who are contemplating the construc-
ton of large buildings in cities where
there is already a larger than normal
vacancy. The fact that there was only
002 increase IN the percentage of
vacancy during the past five months is
a wholesome indication that the busi-
ness of the nation is expanding and
that there are many establishments
which are beginning to realize that
adequate quarters are essential for
highest working efficiency"
The survey is the most comprehensive
that has ever been made by the asso-
citation. The total floor area reported, of
130, 0,403,075 square feet, is equal to 1898
acres of office space.
