WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Somebody who knows his Froude has
dug up a piece of ancient history de-
scribed as applicable to current condi-
tions in the United States. The his
torian wrote: Caesar appointed a COM
mission to examine the huge mass OF
legal precedents, reduce them to prin-
ciples and form a digest" This was
in BIC. As. The discoverer of the
episode wonders if Herbert, AID. 1929,
when deciding upon his commission to
survey law enforcement in all its branch
es, may not have taken leaf out OF
the notebook of Julius, BIC. As.

Everybody in Congress expects sugar
even though metaphor is mixed in
saying ito be the big bone of con-
tention in the tariff fight now impend-
ing. The proposal to raise the sugar
duty to cents pound will be four
cornered international scrap, marked
mainly by the conflicting interests of
American beet growers and Cuban pro-
6ucers. Then there is the Philippine
sugar industry, with its demand, backed
by Secretary StimSon, for continued
liberal American tariff treatment, and
finally there are the interests of Uncle
Sans other wards and sugar islands
Hawaii and Porto Rico. A pretty scrap
is in the offing, and it'll be far from
being sweet, as the subject suggests.

Sir A. Maurice Low, dean Of foreign
correspondents in the United States
and for more than 25 years the Wash
ington representative of the London
Morning Post, is seriously i'll at Gar
field Hospital. He has been in failing
health for several years, though he has
remained in harness. A native of Lon
con and in his siXty-ninth year, Sir
Maurice is probably as keen an author
ity on American affairs as anybody in
the United States. He was a CORE
spondent with our Army in Cuba dur
ing the Spanish-American War. Low
has written several books on this coun-
try. including THE American People"
Protection in the United States" and
America at Home"

Gen. Lords Retirement.

1t may have required a man of Gen.
Dawes dynamic and colorful personality
to start the wheels of the then newly
created Bureau of the Budget to grind
ing. but when he stepped out he was
able to leave with the knowledge that
the post of command was filled by one
whose enthusiasm and zest for the pro-
sale task of saving money would keep
them grinding, and grinding small.
Brig. Gen. H. NJ. Lord, who is about
to leave the Government after a service
Of more than thirty years. the last seven
rector of the Bureau of the Budget, will
enter private business with the salts
faction of knowing that his efforts con-
tributed largely toward solid establish
ment of the budget system in the
Federal Government and that he taught
the army of Federal employees the lesson
of saving public money and made them
like 1t.
Gen. Lords administration has been
notable for several things: His marked
ability as a fnancier dealing wisely
with great problems. His tact and
diplomacy in welding the blue pencil
on the enthusiastic estimates submitted
by the various heads of Federal estab-
lishments resulted in lack of friction
that was more marked because of the
many opportunities for the exercise of
arbitrary power that are characteristic
of his Office And his ability TO drama
tie and give verbal picturesqueness
to the dull work of squeezing pennies
enabled him to enlist the cooperation
Of thousands of minor public officials
and employees, to make them feel that
whatever savings they could effect, no
matter how small, were valuable con-
tributions to good government and eff
Gent spending.
He will be missed as the director OF
the budget, but the hundreds OF men,
bers of his "Woodpeckers' Club" and
1.-TWO Per Cent Club and various other
mythical organizations will feel a dis
tinct persons4 loss in the resignation of
their honorary president and founder.

cerned-of important Federal Offices.
Mr.. Hughes has played his part in Re-
publican politics in New York but. it is
said, not conspicuously UP to the present
! time. He has devoted himself rather
| to the practice of law and in that field
has distinguished himself. That would
appear to qualify him for the post to
which he is to be named, even to a
greater extent than signal success in
the field of politics. The Office OF So
licitor General handles for the Govern
ment the law cases, many of them of
vast Importance, in which the Govern
ment is involved. 1t has been the duty
of the Solicitor General to appear on
behalf of the Government before the
Supreme Court of the United States in
many of the cases in which the Govern
ment is an interested party. More
and more the Office of Attorney
General has become an administrative
office, with the duty imposed upon the
Solicitor General of conducting the
Governments prosecution or defense in
the law courts.
Mr.. Hughes is comparatively young
man-forty years of age. He is to step
into a post which has been held by the
present Attorney General, Mr.. Mitchell
The judgment of his associates before
the bar, however, is that Mr.. Hughes is
we'll qualified to hold this Office. Chief
Justice Taft at the age Of thirty-two
became Solicitor General Of the United
States, an important step in his dis
tinguished career. In more recent years
the Office was held by John w. Davis,
member of Congress prior to his APP
pointment and subsequently Ambassa-
dor to Great Britain and the nominee
of the Democratic party for President
in 1924.
Mr. Hughes bears a name that is
known and honored throughout the
country. The news reports of the selec-
ton of Mr.. Hughes to be Solicitor Cen
eral assert that his distinguished father,
former Secretary Of State and former
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court,
had no part in bringing Mr.. Hughes
name to the attention of the President.
The assertion seems superfuous. Charles
Evans Hughes, ST., would be the last
man to seek preference through his
own influence for political appointment
to Federal Office.
The career of the prospective Solicitor
General will be. watched with the keen
est interest. The introduction of young
blood of this character into the public
service is matter of congratulation.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Modern improvements.

Modern improvements.
We next should proceed, without fail,
With plans to remodel the jail.
The white marble column,
With dignity solemn,
For proper effect should prevail.
Near pictures by painters renowned,
Fine Orient rugs, should be found,
And music so sWeetly,
BY radio brought neatly,
Through soft-tinted twilights should
sound.
Though rumors unkind may assail
The prisoner shut out from bail,
If he's happy and healthy,
With tastes of the wealthy
Well have to remodel the jail!

Enduring monuments to Senator
James Couzens of Michigan are fore
seen by the press in the lives that will
be made successful through the &c.,
100000 fund he has given to promote
the welfare of children. Many OBJ
servers note with satisfaction that the
Senator avoided creating a perpetual
benefaction that might bear his name,
and instead provided that the principal
and interest shall be expended In q
quarter OF a century.
Ten million dollars for childhood

Daily News. Its like a fairy story
come true. And it makes multimil-

gold. It will make Jim CouZens live

poor boy who made good. A hard

millionaire who has not forgotten how
the other half lives"
mo one can estimate" according to
the Flint Daily Journal, "how many
children will be given decent start in
the world through the medium of this
fund. BY the time the fund is ex-
pended many of them will have grown
to manhood and womanhood. Mr..
CouzenS has made many charitable con-
tributions during the last decade, most
of which have been for the benefit Of
children. His latest benefaction sur
passes everything else that he has done.
It is not only a benefaction. but it is an

The Emotions.

Human and animal emotions still
constitute a rather obscure field, open
to the metaphysician and philosopher
as we'll as the scientist.
One of the outstanding contributions
on this subject was that of the late
william James. The so-called James
LANCE theory has been almost classical
in psychology. 1t held that the emo
lions are secondary to automatic physi-
cal adjustments to the environment.

CLANCY LIKES VISITORS
WHILE HE'S WORKING

Found:-An actor who does not
object to visitors on the movie set
Lon CLANCY, one OF the screens
greatest character artists, never
objects to visitors on his set, in
fact, rather welcomes them.
He says it may be because he
was on the stage for years before
going into pictures.
1.-THE stage actor" says CLANCY,
"of ourse was used to an audi
ence, and, in fact, many Of US In
the early days rather missed our
audience and were In
front Of the black box that re-
corded US in films. Personally, 1
never saw any objection to hav-
ing visitors on the set, and 1 be-
lieve that sometimes an audience
helps an actor do better work.
OF course, If certain trick effects
are being worked out, that's a diff
ferent matter again.
One Gay while at work on his
role as a detective In while the
City Sleeps" which is coming to
the Liberty Theatre on Thursday
and Friday, he had for his audi
enc a squad of policemen from
Los Angeles, and he said that it
was one of the greatest audiences
he ever played to. The policemen
not only gave him much valuable
criticism, he declared, but proved
a distinct inspiration. Another
day his auience consisted of the
troupe of famous Japanese actors
from Toxic, now touring America.
Among visitors on Chaney's sets
in different pictures have been
such notables as General Smedley
D. Butler, Otto Kahn, the inter
ational banker, the Crown Prince
of Sweden, Admiral Hirahato and
officers of the Japanese navy, and
many other famous guests.
