Beware of Superman Reputation.
(New York World.)

| Somebody ought to begin proving that Dwight Whitney Morrow has feet of clay. It should be brought out that MT Morrow is absent minded, for one thing That could be demonstrated. by telling the story-whether it is true not scarcely matters of how he went to a station in New York one night to take train and was observed by sta ton official, or someboy other of importance ! searching through his pockets, obviously in quess lof lost ticket.
 The station official hastened to assure him that he need not worry about the ticket; that the / would trust him. And MT. Morrow is alleged to have replied:
 Thanks, but that won't do any good because II have to find the ticket to find out where it was II going"
 Even if this is pure fiction it would be well flor MT. Morrow's hosts of friend and admirers to circulate the yarn They might tell also about now difficult 1t is to get him to shave how na tries to sneak out mornings without bothering with razors and about his total inability to wear neck tie tied where necktie should be tied The Nor row ties seem always to miss his collar for an unsightly gold collar button is invariably in view Besides that, he seldom manages to have on collar which is not frayed at the corners Indeed he is as careless about his dress as MT. Borah is And incidentally you can tell fairly accurately from Borah's appearance whether Mrs. Borah known las Little Bill, is in town or away She manages to keep hlm spruced up some. That is, he starts out the day in reasonable order wearing respectable lneckties and with his clothes pressed When Mrs
 
 Bill will wear a black string tie that dates back to the Spanish War period Mrs. Morrow is cred ited with exercising similar censorship over her husbands appearance.
 Now this may not sound important but the idea is that something should be done to eradicate the impression that Dwight Morrow is superman He may be one. So may Herbert Hoover and Senator Bingham. But it is a great mistake as either of those two notables will tell you to let that impression get abroad It is almost fatal Much too much of this sore of impression has been given about MT. Morrow Naturally it is hard to prove that it did him any harm in the New Jersey primary If it did they would still be busy counting up his votes there But it is storing up trouble for him in the Sen ate where he is soon to sit if the trend detectofs and crystal grazerS know their business For ir- stance, the very day of his nomination Morrow was photographed sitting in the library of his home reading Volume l., or maybe Volume IT, of the works of the late Greek historian Herodotus Some Of the reading matter that went with this picture said that MT. Morrow was boring the writings | of the celebrated historian in the original Greek And virtually all of the accounts agreed that he was reading this light literature while the returns were coming in showing that he is the seasons champion vote getter so far.
 Moreover, some of the members of the White House Literary Guild circulating announce :. ments that Mr. Morrow's advent in the Senate will raise the level" raise the tone of that body. That may be true, but broadcasting things like that will also raise Cain for MT. Morrow in the Senate.
