Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-10-21

The Right Hon. Winston Churchill,
M. P, who Is in Washington this week,
Is temporarily what the late John j.
Ingalls, described as statesman out OF
job. But no one in Great Britain who
knows winnie" expects him to be long
eminent breastworks. This half-Ameri-
can statesman who was chancellor OF
the exchequer in the preceding BALD
VIM cabinet has had more romantic
and tempestuouS career than any man
now in European public life, not even
excepting the hectic history of David
Lloyd George. Mr.. Churchill is
journalist and historian by profession,
though for the past 20 years and more
he's been a practical politician and per-
ennial officeholder of occupation. Hav-
ing at different times worn different
, party livery-now a Liberal, then
servative--Churchill has sat con-
tinuously in British ministries in high
portfolios. During the first year Of the
World War he held the vital post of
first lord of the admiralty, but did not
long survive the ill-starred British
naval raid on Antwerp. Many Britons
held him responsible for thu equally
inglorious Gallipoli expedition. Dy-
manic. brilliant, resourceful and lion
hearted "Winnie's" path his admirers
are persuaded, one day will lead him
to the premiership. He was war cor
respondent IN Cuba before tho United
States locked horns with Spain, and a
little later reported the Bo~r War in
| South Africa. He is the son Of the
| late Lady Randolph Churchill. one of
| the first and most distinguished Of
American women to make their mark
| in Britain.
Melvin A. Traylor. head Of the First
National Bank Of Chicago, who is taking
so prominent part in the organization
CT the Bank for International Settle
| ments, now in progress at Baden Baden,
Germany, is a product of the Texas
plains. He was born in Kentucky, but
went to the border before attaining
manhood. BY the time Traylor had
| fully grown up, he was a lawyer, a
| stock-breeder and a banker. Early in
his career he began specializing in the
financing Of livestock transactions and
ranks today as the country's foremost
authority in the field of cattle lcanS-a
major domain of business out where the
West begins. Like Owen D. Young,
architect-in-chief of the new repara-
| tons plan. Traylor is Democrat. He
has lust rounded the half -century mark
| in life.
| Although it has been legally possible
| for American women ever since 1919
to aspire to seats in Congress, Canadian
women have just won the right to run
| for the Dominion Senate. 1t took a
decision Of the supreme court of the
British Empire-the judicial committee
Of the privy council in London-to
settle the question. A number of prom
| inent Canadian women appealed to the
| judicial committee against a decision
| of the Canadian Supreme Court, which
! held that the word people" in the
British No:th American act of 1867 did
not include women. They were. there
fore. unable, according to the decision,
| to bocomN members OF the Canadian
| Senate. Thu PRIV council last week
reversed tn" Canadian Supreme Courts
decision. In pronouucing i1 verdict,
| the lord chancellor declared that the
| exclusion Of women from all public
Cfilccs is relic Of days more barbarous
! han ours"
Morbid persons who get thrills from
visiting such places as jails and peni-
| tentiarics are going to have their fun
| curtailed as far as the Federal prison
| at Leavenworth is concerned Whether
| II Is due to the recent outbreak there
or not, the superintendent of the
| United States prisons in the Depart
rnent OF Justice at Washington has just
| issued the following order: "A prison
