machine and the Mellon machine. It is
the kind Of fight Mr.. Pinchot likes.
The Pennsylvania political pot is boil
ing faster and faster. Secretary James
j. Davis Of the Department Of Labor in
the Hoover, Coolidge and Harding cabi-
nets, has let it be known that he will
make an announcement of his candi-
oacy for the senatorial nomination with
in a week. Speaking engagements en-
tered into by him, when he is to be
heard as a member of the cabinet, have
caused him to postpone his formal state
ment Of candidacy, it is said. This would
indicate that Mr.. Davis will resign from
the cabinet when he becomes a formal
candidate for the senatorial nomination.
For him to do otherwise would in effect
link the Hoover administration to his
| candidacy. Some of his supporters have
, urged, however, that President Hoover
did not resign from the cabinet when he
! VS. a candidate for the nomination for
President in 1923. Nor is it likely that
Senator Grundy will relinquish his pres
ent Office because Of his candidacy for
the nomination.
William S. Ware, the veteran Repub-
lican boss Of Philadelphia, whose en-
trance into the senatorial race was
announced some time ago, is now hourly
expected to issue statement Withdraw
ing because of his physical condition.
His medical adviser has already put
/ forward formal statement to the effect
that Mr.. Ware could not and should
not undergo the strain of being a
candidate for the senatorial nomina-
ton. The supposition has been that If
Mr.. Ware Nithdraws he will back the
candidacy Of Mr.. Brown for governor
and OF Mr.. Davis for the Senate. If
he does it will make one of the hottest
political battles which the Republicans of
the keystone State have ever INDUCED in.
1t has been charged that political deals
made at the eleventh hour gave Ware
and Fisher victories in the 1926 SEN
atorial and gubernatorial primaries,
with former Senator Pepper and Beidle-
man getting the short end Of the deal.
Mr.. Grundy at that time was backing
Gov Fisher. Pinchot was In the race
then for the senatorial nomination, but
ran third
Not since the days of the late Senator
Boise Penrose has there been figure in
Pennsylvania politics who dominated
the entire State. Possibly out of the
coming campaign such a figure will
emerge. If Mr. Grundy should be nomi-
mated and at the same time Lewis, his
candidate for governor, should be VIC
torious, Mr.. Grundy doubtless would OBJ
tain an outstanding and dominating
position in the Pennsylvania g. o. p.
It is clear that great deal depends
upon the results of the primaries which
will take place May 90

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS

days"
The fireworks in the Senate incident
to the confirmation of Chief Justice
Hughes was not circumstance to the
verbal pyrotechnics which were hurled
into the air century ago when for
three months the opposition fought the
appointment Of Chief Justice Roger
Brooke fancy. Henry Clay was Taney'S
bitterest opponent and critic. Charles
Warren in his history of the Supreme
Court narrates the subsequent reconcile
alton between Clay and fancy. Years
after fancy had taken his place on
the bench, Clay had one day argued
a case before him in the court and
fancy had delivered the opinion. Clay
waited on him in his chambers bit
embarrassed. Addressing the Chief Jus
tice, Clay said that no member of the
more bitterly. But" said the Wing
leader. taking fancy by the hand, IT
have come to you to say, and I say
1t now in parting, perhaps for the last
time, that no man could have been
selected more abundantly able to wear
the ermine which Chief Justice Mar
shall honored." Who can say whether
history will one day record a. similar
passage between Borah and Hughes?

Oregon for several years has led the
procession as the State with the lowest
infant death rate, the Oregon figure be-
ing Al, but no State in the Union has
yet equaled the mark set by far-away
New Zealand, where the 1928 figure was
SO. Infant death rate is measured by
the number of deaths of children I'M
der l year of age to each 1000 live
births. Ten States and the District of
Columbia reported a lower infant death
rate in 1928 than ever before, according
to the Census Bureau. The District of
Columbia, with rate of 48, was close
second to oregon. Meantime, Congress
is wrestling with the question of re-
Installing provision for Federal ma
ternity aid along the lines of the
Shepherd-Towne act, which expired
by limitation last year.

No one has ever had honor paid him
on any birthday quite like that which
grateful nation last week paid to its
great statesman Thomas Garrigue Ma
saryk, President of the Czechoslovakian
Republic. The National Assembly passed
law which reads, "T. @. Masaryk has
deserved we'll of the State" This is per-
haps the shortest law ever framed by a
Parliament, but 1t is more eloquent than

the charge Of the unlicensed distribu-
ton Of leaflets in the streets. That Is
the only charge on which they can be
punished at all, and it is sorry COM
mentary upon the protective system In
the United States, with all due respect
to the guarantees Of free speech and
free thought, that this subterfuge Is
the only measure of defense.
The brazen impudence of the Rus
sian-inspired Communists who thus at
tempt to circularize the people Of this
country is beyond tolerance. Suppose
agents of the leagues of godlessness that
are being officially promoted and pro-
tected by the Soviet government at Mos
COW were to station themselves outside
of the Christian churches or the Jewish
synagogues and after services hand out
the vile leaflets and cartoons that form
the literature Of the atheistic campaign?
Such an offense would be no graver
than that of yesterday following the
meeting at Constitution Hall, which was
In effect a church service.
Such tactics are blind and futile.
They are part of the illogical, unreason-
ing folly of the bolshevists who are at
tempting to make Russia over into
Communist state of idealistic equality,
of suppressed personality and of god
lessness. These deluded creatures do not
seem to know that whatever may be ac-
complished in economic reform or
change or revolution, it is utterly I'M
possible to kill the spirit of the people,
to quench forever their belief in Divin-

Agents of Godlessness.

Yesterday afternoon several thousand
Washingtonians attended meeting at
Constitution Hall held TO express
sympathy for the prosecuted religionists
Of Russia and condemnation of the
militant atheism of the Communist
government OF that country. The meet
ing was held under interdenominational
auspices, with Presbyterian and Meth
odist elergymen, a Jewish rabbi, q
Catholic priest and an Episcopal bishop
participating. The program and the
addresses were broadcast to countless
millions OF American people. 1t was a
most impressive demonstration and I'M
doubleday it voiced the feelings Of all
but very few Americans. 1t is to be
hoped that every word uttered yesterday
at Constitution Hall will reach Russia,
reach those who are now engaged in
the wicked work of rendering that
unhappy land goddess.
When those in attendance left the
meeting they were met by a group Of
young people ranging from seventeen to
twenty-five years Of age, all Americans
by birth, who distributed Leaflets OF
endorsement Of the Soviet government
Of Russia, Communist propaganda Of a
particularly psrnieious character. Some

Pennsylvania Political Pot.

Clifford Pinchot, former governor and
ally of the late Theodore Roosevelt in
the Bull Moose days, has cast his hat
into the ring again. He has formally
announced his entrance into the Penn
sylvania primary for the gubernatorial
nomination. Mr.. Pinchot necessarily
believes that he has a chance to win.
With the Ware organization in Philadel-
phia backing Francis Skunk Brown and
the Mellon-Grundy combination favor
ing Samuel S. Lewis, Mr.. Pinchot fig
ures that he has chance to rally the
independents and, adding them to the
large number of supporters he already
has, win the nomination. 1t was much
the same kind of a situation which en-
abled him to win for governor in 1922,
Apparently, it is his plan to stress the
public utility issue and the machine
issue. He will attack both the Ware

along economic lines that has taken
place in a long time in this country.
The grain trade sees itself being wiped
out If the Farm Board Is successful in
the organization of co-operatives to sell
their grain direct and without all the
middlemen who now have a share in
the profits. In consequence, the adj
ninistration, which was exceedingly
popular at its start in Minneapolis and
st. Paul, is denounced in certain quar-
tiers there. On the other hand, the stand
taken by the Farm Board, backed by
the President has been the subject OF
of the grain States and the communities
which deal directly with the farmers.

Out in North Dakota the name of
Alexander Legge, chairman of the Fed
eral Farm Board, was cheered not long
ago by q gathering Of farmers and their
representatives. That the former head
of the International Harvester Co,
should have received such an ovation
in North Dakota Is significant indeed
The farmers of the West are watching
with the keenest interest the struggle
between the Farm Board and the grain
trade, to which may be added the grain
exchanges. The farmers have demand
ed for years protection from the gam
blers in wheat and more adequate re-
Enumeration for their products, claiming
that the middlemen and the commits
sion men have been making fortunes
out Of their labor, while they have had
no adequate return. Senator Nye of
North Dakota has a resolution for an
inquiry by the Senate into the opera
tons OF the Farm Board. His purpose
however, has not been an attack on the
Farm Board, but desire to have shown
up the efforts Of the grain trade To
thwart the board in its efforts to aid
the farmers.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

The Gentle EgOist.
oh, what's the use Of telling things
That you have really studied out?
1t is an enterprise that brings
No lasting benefit about.
Save to the oft-ungrateful throng;
While if you'll merrily review
The things on which you may be wrong
You're sure to learn a lot that's new
For critics love to lift voice
To turn you from an erring way,
And bid you cry, as you rejoice,
"I'm wiser now than yesterday!
My quest Of knowledge naught shall
balk;
So, spite of cynics harsh or bland,
I'll go my way. ] love to talk
OF things do not understand"
