the Progressive campaign committee for
Louisville and Jefferson county, which
gave the ticket headed by former Presi-
dent Roosevelt much larger vote than
that received by President Taft, the
regular Republican nominee.
His work for the Bull Moose" ticket
in Louisville proved so effective that
when the Republican split healed
there before the 1916 campaign, he was
elected chairman of the Louisville and
Jefferson County Republican Executive
Committee.
In 1917, Mr.. Lucas was elected to
his first public Office, that of prosecut-
ing attorney for the Louisville police
court. He took an active part in the
management of the 1920 Republican
campaign, in which Kentucky. although
giving It's electoral vote to the Demo-
cratic presidential nominee. at the same
time elected Richard p. Ernst, Re-
publican, to the Senate. His work in
that contest was accorded recognition
when President Harding appointed him
internal revenue collector for Ken
lucky, q post which he held for eight
years to the entire satisfaction of Ken
lucky taxpayers of all political afhlia-
tons and until his promotion by Presi-
dent Hoover to the top place in the
internal revenue bureau.
During this period. Mr.. Lucas gained
a Statewide reputation for his abili-
ties in the line of political organization.
After the sweeping Republican victory,
under his direction in the 1924 presi-
Dental and senatorial contests, Mr..
Lucas declined the appeals of his
friends to accept the Republican nomi-
nation for mayor Of Louisville in 1925:
but two years later he met his ONLY
political defeat when he was an I'M
successful candidate for the Republican
gllbernatorial nomination in a primary
contest where the situation on local
issues within both parties made his
candidacy practically hopeless from the
outset. But he made a valiant fight
against a powerful bipartisan machine
that opposed him and emerged from
this campaign with his political pres
tige increased rather than diminished.

of the dead space at the foot of the
wall itself.
Here Titus discarded his weapons and
equipment and clambered up the wall
to the top. Unseen by the enemy for
a moment, he hauled up his rife and
ammunition by cord and opened fire
He was followed by Capt. Henry G.
Learned, now brigadier general, and
others of the two companies Soon the
colors of the 14th Infantry f1uttered
atop the wall, the first foreign flags to
float over those rampants. American
rifle and artillery fire cleared the
south face of the wall, which abutted
on the Legation quarter, thus enabling
the British troops to enter that area
unopposed.
The 9th United States Infantry
quickly followed the 14th to the lega-
lions, many of the buildings of which
were in ruins. Within the English,
Russian and American legations, which,
though standing, were riddled with bull
lets, the beSieged occupants had been
confined.
Origin of Rebellion.
A statement by the War Depart
ment, issued in observance of the ami
versary, explains the origin of the
Boxer Rebellion:
THE genesis of the Boxer movement
may be traced to the interior of North
China, where in the COS there was
formed a society called the I Ho T'uan,
or the Band of Righteousness and
Union Such "T'uan,' or bands are OF
common occurrence in China. Many
of them are in existence today, with
the identical trappings of Superstitlous
rites and ceremonies that character
lied the Boxers in 1890. The funda-
mental idea of these movements is
banding together of the common peo-
pie in defense against either govern
ment oppression, the outrages of ban
boring communities.
"The I Ho T'uan' had two objec-
tives. 1t was opposed to the reigning
Manchu dynasty and to the activities
of all foreigners. The ManchuS, who
feared the organization, cleverly di-
verted its energies into the anti-for-
eign channel. BY June, 1900, the move
ment had progressed so far as to en-
danger the lives of all foreigners in
and the foreign colonies in Tientsin
were actually in state ct aege.
Boxer" Meant United Fists.
THE term Boxer is of interesting
derivation. The original name of the
society, I Ho T'uan,' was corrupted by
usage to I Ho Ch'uan,' which may be
translated Righteous and United Fists
To the Chinese United Fists meant
standing hand in hand against ones
enemies one mans fist clasped by that
of his fellow.
But to foreigners fist was made
TO hit with, so that early in the move
ment the members of the society were
called Boxers and it was under thus
title that their activities were reported
to the world at large"

cal idea for the Greeks, as shown by the
plebiscite vote of April, 1924, which ap-
proved the decision Of the National As
sembly to abolish the monarchy and
substitute republic.
Serene continuance OF the republic
would seem to depend on continuance
of cooperation between the Moderate
Republicans (VenizelistS) and the Mod
crate Royalists. Outrageous behavior OF
the Extreme Radicals might result in re-
version to monarchy, while, on the
other hand, indiscreet agitation by the
extreme Royalists might throw control
to the Radicals. The objection to q
monarchy above limited seems to me I'M
answerable. The satisfactory monarch
would have to be another George 1 and
monarchs of that kidney only happen

The Greeks have shown wisdom and
self-knowledge in respect of two fea-
lures of their new constitutional edifice
making for stability-that is, reStora-
ton of an upper chamber (Senate) and
adoption Of the French type of presi-
dency.
The Greeks are the most genuinely
democratic people in Europe. Indeed, 1t
is the testimony of all outlanders who
know them that they are most nearly
devoid of snobbishness. the most truly
democratic of all peoples in the world,

But, of course, it is above all essen

Amos and Andy themselves listened
carefully to his remarks and afterward
phoned him for additional information.
His keen sense of humor and aptitude
for using it in a harmless but effec-
tive way has been a marked asset to
this Kentuckian throughout his career.
It is a trait that has been quite for
eign to such recent heads Of the Re
publican National Committee as Clau-
diuS Huston, Hubert Work and William
M. Butler.
Mr.. Lucas foremost political achieve
ment occurred in 1924, when he directed
the Republican campaign in Kentucky
and carried the Bluegrass State for
President Coolidge and the Republican
senatorial nominee, Frederic M. Sackett,
now Ambassador to Germany. 1t was
the first time Kentucky had given its
full electoral vote to a Republican
ticket in presidential contest and
the first and only time it ever chose a
Republican Senator when the States
other seat in the Senate also was
occupied by q Republican.
Ability and affability are the two
words which probably best character
lie Mr.. Lucas. They explain how, al
though little known outside the Blue
grass State when he came to Wash
ington a year ago, he has been able so
to impress the President and the Re-
publican partys national leaders that
when his name was suggested for the
big job of getting the G. o. p. ma
tional organization out Of the rut into
which it had fallen during the chair
manship Of Claudius Huston Of Ten
nessee there was an immediate and
apparently unanimous agreement that
he was just the man needed for this
undertaking.
knowledge Of Politics.
Mr.. Lucas knows politics from the
ground up. He has been an active
worker for the Republican party in his
State ever since he was old enough to
vote. When he was 81, he became a
precinct election off1cer in the old third
ward of Louisville, and since then he
has continuously received higher re-
sponsibilities in party management.
Within a year he had become a pre-
cinct captain. Then, when the Re-
publican split developed In 1912, he
joined the Bull Moose" movement and
was made secretary and manager OF

Norris temperamental bent was IL
Illustrated by the part he took IN the
fight against the confirmation OF
Charles e. Hughes to be Chief Justice.
That incident as a whole-the part
that some &c Senators took in Twas
perhaps the least pleasant of several
recent episodes in which the Senate, to
put it mildly, has been not at its best,
Senator Norris contribution to the
attempt to prevent Mr.. Hughes con-
firmation was characteristic. 1t re-
vealed his temperamental slant.
II do not believe" said Norris, "a
man is fit to go on the Supreme bench
who has never had any opportunity 10
sympathize or to associate with those
who toll and those who labor the
man who has never felt the pinch OF
hunger and who has never known what
1t was to be cold who has never asso-
ciated with those who have earned
their bread by the sweat of their faces,
but who has lived in luxury, who has
never wanted for anything money
could buy, is not fit to sit in Judgment
in a contest between organized wealth
and those who toll"
Omitting comment on Norris funda-
mental point of view one wonders how
much he knew of Mr.. Hughes personal
history. Hughes. as the son of very
poor Baptist clergyman in a New York
State village, certainly had no adj
vantages of luxury" Mr.. Hughes
career has been of the sort that Amer
lea has habitually paid Difference to.
A Senator who would regard Mr..
Hughes as unqualified for the Supreme
Court is hardly representative Of what
everybody has supposed America to be.
