Richey Remained Normal.
During the presidential campaign Of
1928 Mr.. Hoover kept him solidly seated
in the midst of the Republican national
committee Every national committee

sists of animated human pinwheels
throwing off flames of insanity at tenn
peramental and tempestuous tangentS.
Mr. Richey came through that ordeal
with the reputation, among all OBJ
servers, of having remained at all times
in full possession of his faculties. In
national committee, in a campaign year,
he stayed normal. More could hardly
be said. This man has genius for
being in his senses.
That is really the ultimate quality
that gives him a larger and larger

and sweet and sound; that is why Her
bert Hoover trusts Lawrence Richey.
The fidelity between the two men is
more than a fidelity. 1t is a mutual
confidence in the search for what is
sensible and what is right.
One thing that seemed right to both
of them was that Mr.. Richey should
buy. as he has bought. some 1,50O acres
of Maryland woodland. inclosing a good
fishing stream. Some goSsips have
thought that this was an indirect in

The woodland and the stream are
wholly Mr. Richey's. There he can
sometimes reflect upon the little boy
who dropped through the window in

reflect, as he whips the stream. upon

now carried down the Ohio River in

thousand tons of merchandise, cotton,
tobacco and other commodities have

steel from Pittsburgh southwark is no

There are many younger men here
holding responsible business positions
and discharging their duties efficient
ly under conditions far different from
those at home. The consular repre-
sentatives of the United States here
are active and jealous in the safe
guarding of American interests and are
on excellent terms with the British
business element.
If any one doubts if the British rule
in India is to our advantage, word
with these Americans will soon dismiss
such doubts. Indeed, the appearance
of the people and the small parts cf
that huge country which one traveller
can see leaves one with no alternative
thought but that the British are dog
their very best with an enormously dD-
! f1cult undertaking, and that, wheth@
! the natives like it or not, they are
thanks to the British, healthier, richer
and better fed than they otherwise
would be.

| prise could not exist without the
British a conflagration of such unbe-
! lievable magnitude would result as to
dislocate the whole elaborate structure
of Western civilization.

He enthusiastically would. He was

 All Crimes Considered
 While prohibition is one of the uppermost problems before the commission. it's survey is not to be centered on any single source Of crime or lawleasness. according to the members. The sale of narcotics, the increase of murders and rob- berries in large cities, and sociologi- cal problems brought about by large criminal groups, are among other situations to be investigated.

 Al the program now is generally outlined 1t involves complete re- moval of the prohibition unit from the treasury department with the enforcement agents placed either :n an existing division of the justice department or the creation of new division under the direction of an administrative rath- CT than legal officer.
 The large legal force now employ ed by the unit presumably would be placed under the assistant attorney general in charge of dry law prose- cution.
 In addition there are involved questions of administration and CO., operation with the customs force and the coast guard, which would remain within the treasury organi- .ation, because their primary duties have to do with enforcement of the customs laws. Other matters to which the joint committee must give attention include that of permits for liquors for medicinal purposes, for industrial alcohol and the use of in- toxicants for other purposes.
