But Just as get clear on this point, we are re-
minded that as true Americans We should all the
trappings of social rank alien importation from
the courts of Europe, dangerous baubles turning
heads from the simple and democratic informally of
founding fathers
So that jerks back again to our original position

like to throw in thought that has come to us be-

In searching for the best standard of 100 per cent

Since the earliest day OF the republic, We Ameri-
cans have been world-famou5 for our hospitality.
However much or however little have had in the
way of a home or a city, or a national capital we

These foreign diplomats whom the Vice-President
wants his halfsister and hostess to outrank at social
functions happen to be in this country not ndi-
viduals but the personal representatives of their
countries.
Perhaps this quarrel is not so much a question of
conflicting rights" as Of being gracious to our in

World Court Issue

IN Senator Johnson'S opinion, the
L I'm Alone case is clinclling
argument as to Why we should not
enter the world court.
Since the judges of that court
are against prohibition, he con-
tends, we would lose out if the case
came before it.
That is not only misStating the
issue, but offering gratuitous in
suit to some very distinguished
jurists.
The issue in the I'm Alone case
is not prohibition, but whether the
schooner was within the jurisdic-
ton of the United States when sig
nailed to "heave to-" and whether
her sinking was necessary.
1t seems highly probable that
such men is have been selected to
serve as judges of the world court
would find it possible to answer such
a question fairly, even if they did
not approve the particular law of
this country out Of which it de-
veloped
Putting that aside, it seems that
a noble senator might give them the
benefit of doubt, instead of designat-
ing them as hopeless victims of
prejudice before they have even had
the chance to try.

Speed Is Needed

The politicians who look upon city jobs and city
funds as the property Of politicians to be used Tor
partisan advantages have demonstrated their fear of
and antagonism to the city manager government.
They have taken the first steps to grab tie power
if by any chance the supreme court be induced to
say that the formation Ct the sort Of government the
people have chosen takes away their constitutional
rights.
Just how rights can be destroyed through govern
ment selected by the people themselves is mystery
But the political lawyers who in their private CONVEX
sations show thorough contempt of the court and
whisper OF influences that are not written in the books
have the hope that decision will be finally rendered
20 perpetuate the old gratis and greeds.
The matter ought to be very simple The balanc-
ng of right and wrong ought not to be delicate
% require long elaboration and exhaustive research.
Even court which has record Of great deliber-
eteness IN decisions ought not to require a very
long period in settling such case.
To the minds Of men and women who merely
want government that is owned by them instead of
being run by the bosses. the problem seems very
simple
But with various candidates in the field for mayor
awaiting this off chance of decision that will permit
them to try for power the matter ought to be im1e-
diatey brought before the court and urgent re-
quest made for speed
This city has had much of turmoil. Its govern
ent has been unsettled Its administration has been
under shadows OF courts too long
Perhaps somewhere in the line of legal procedure
some lawyer who has regard for the people of tfs
city will appeal to the high court to give action and
quick action.
The Job of keeping the bosses out of power under
the new government will be hard enough without the
added handicap of delay uncertainty and undercover
campaigning?

> two most colorful military fig
ures of the Civil war met without
ceremony in a private home in APP

silenced forever the guns of the war
Of secession.
General Lee bore on his shoulders
the broken hopes of the south.
Stocky, plain-spoken General Grant
would be proclaimed in few hours
by a joy-maddened north as the
greatest hero of the day.
Of the two, Lee seemed to be better
aware Of the historic significance OF
the occasion. But Grants diff
fdence may have been a pose -
gallant gesture to hide enbarraSs-
ment at meeting a defeated foe.
1t is customary for the victorious
general to demand the others sword.
Grant did not. Instead, he apollo
gized for having neglected to bring
his own along. He permitted no
theatrical display on the part Of his
men.
There was no victorious march Of
troops with banners flying; no de-
mands made for the Confederates to
stack their arms"

Critics Ammunition

THE error Of introducing ma
4 terial of this sort is manifold.
Bodenheim should not give review
ers so many leads, for they might
adopt some of them. For instance,
I am tempted to take him up on
the suggestion of the inverted bour-
ger who asSailS the object which
he secretly resembles"
Surely even the most amateur
sort of Freudian must sense the fact
that the man has a critic complex
No one who def1es the lightning
and urges the reviewers to ignore
his book really means just that.
His mood is precisely that of the
correspondent who writes, "Of
course you won't dare print this let
ter" Such devices to attract at
tention should be beneath the dig
nifty of first-rate writing man.
But then, to be just, Bodenheim
Goes not pretend to be dignif1e In
my opinion he has not yet written
a flrst-cIass novel, although he has
made some brave tries. This is one.
1t falls short of high ground be-
cause Of lack of concentration.
In addition to digressions, there
are bad patches Of fancy writing.
At such times as Maxwell Boden-
helm grows excited he sets down
nervous prose in short and fast
moving sentences. At other times
he puts on Tugs and gets badly
begged in dependent clauses.

CONSIDERING all the guessing,
~ quibbling, surmising and sup
posing that has been done in the
I'm Alone case, Captain Randell's
frankness comes as delightful re-
lief.
Captain Randell, who by The
rules of the game, should have more
reason to hide behind a screen Of
technicalities and evasions than
anyone else, makes no bones about
the fact that I'm Alone was rum
runner.
He not only tells about the vari-
Gus cargoes he accepted and de-
livered, but says candidly that one
went to the bottom with the i'll
fated craft, which clears up one
angle of the case.
Further than that, The says that
rum running has become a well-or-
ganized business, that it appealed
to him because he likes excitement,
and that while he got some out OF
this particular incident, it was not

Tail at Last,

There is only one higher court in this country to
which Harry F Sinclair of Teapot Dome might appeal
from yesterdays decision of guilty" by the United
States supreme court. That higher court is public
opinion. 1t already has condemned Sinclair.
Now that the senate, jury, a court of appeals,
the United States supreme court and public opinion,
have found him guilty of contempt in refusing to
answer senate questions regarding his share in the oil
scandals it seems that after all these years the multi
millionaire finally is going to jail,
There is not much chance for him to get a supreme
court rehearing, if he petitions for one. The
long legal red tape which wealth has strung out ends
behind the bars.
Most of his tellow-ctlzens will think Sinclair Is
lucky in getting off with only $500 fine and three
months in jail although there still is the little matter
of jury-shadowing which Sinclair may have to answer
for also when the supreme court takes up his appeal
in that case
Much more than mere punishment of guilty man
is involved in yesterdays ruling.
1t reaffrns the decision in the Nal S. DauGherty
case unfolding the rights OF congress to conduct in
designations necessary to aid legislation
And it helps restore public faith that there is only
one rule of law for poor man and rich man,

sound and just. No doubt they
have done great evil in their time,

In fact, the character should have

HiccoughS can occur when the
abdomen is diStended due to many
causes-from hurried eating; from
infection, as with influenza, and in
deed from anything that will send
the impulse along the nerve.
There are all sorts of suggestions
for curing hiccoughs. They include

breath, electric shocks to the nerves,
pressing the upper lip, counting to

distract attention

Glory for Walker

THERE is more to the New York
L subway fare case than appears
on the surface.
For one thing, Mayor Walker, who
would have been held responsible
had 7-cent fare been granted, will
get good share of the glory that
goes with the nickel fare.
By the sake token, eX-Mayor

While the supreme court probably
did not give the fact any conSidera-
ton, there was political dynamite in

and says, Scare me, ALI, l got the

Not infrequently ticcoughs occur
as a part of hySteria, in which the
patient is convinced that he is i'll
and suffers all sorts of symptoms to
prove it.
BY the power Of suggestion or by
the diversion of attention, the stinu-
lus to the nerves is stopped and the
hiccoughs disappear simultaneously.

D has been said about the faults
Of Bodenheim. The story of John
Musselman largely concerns his sex

by no means free from the authors

shocking. Again and again one
visions him as nuttering to himself,

But many Of these faults are rec
titled by two important virtues. In

The point is, of course, that New

that New York should be forced to

A LMOST everyone has his own
"a cure for hiccoughs, as we'll as
fer colds and fo~ many chronic dis
orders.
The exact cause of hiccoughs is
not known, It is apparently due to
a spasm of the diaphragm, the large
muscle that separates the chest cav
ity from the abdominal cavity. The
stimulus to the spasm of this
muscle comes through nerves that
carry the impulse from the brain.

NUT Of great bitterness, books can
" be written. But it is just as
we'll for an author to call his shots.
Maxwell Bodenheim's undoubted
narrative gift is grayely diluted by
spleen in his new novel called Sixty
Seconds" This is a book which be-
gins with a condemned man in his
cell awaiting execution.
1t ends one minute later with the
prison chaplain plucking at the VIC
tins sleeve to indicate that it is
time to go to the death chamber.
In the space of 60 seconds, John
MuSSel1nan inwardly reviews his life.
This is an excellent scheme, but
it calls for the sWiftest and most
compressed sort Of writing. And at
times Bodenheim does manage to
make his incidents gallop along at
the breakneck pace Of nightmare. At
other times the egotisrn Of the poet
Conquers the artistry of The novelist.
Maxwell Bodenheim wants to be
both creator and condemned man.
He launches into fierce attacks upon
people with whom John Musselman
can possibly have no quarrel. The
villains who fill the imagination of
the author ale not characters in the
tale at all.
Much too often Bodenheim feels
impelled to drop his story completely
and take the center of the stage
with a long monolog about the in
EQUITIES Of the critics.
