LongWorth Was an Out

This Is the eighth and last installmeni
~ The story of Nicholas Jongworth."
BY HERBERT LITTLE
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, April 18.-Nich-
olas Longworth was presidential
possibility in 1923. but no more than
that. In 1892, had not pneumonia
carried him off nine days ago, he
would have been far more.
In the last short session of con-
gress, Longworth rose to leadership
and domination in several phases Of
the political and legislative situation
phases where support would mean
much in nominating and electing a
President.
He led the opposition which over
whelmed President Hoover on the
World war veterans loan bill. He
did much to avert the threatened
special session by promising-and
granting-votes demanded by the
Norris Borah-La Guardia group Of
Muscle Shoals, the Lame Duck
amendment to abolish short sessions
of congress, and the Wagner unem-
ployTnent bills.
Forced Way to Compromise
And when Republicans from the
industrial east turned a deaf ear to
the pleas Of the depressed western
oil industry Longworth stepped in
and forced the ways and means
committee to hold hearings and re-
port out a compromise proposal for
a congressional investigation.
These developments were unlike
those of the previous five years, in
which Longworth echoed the adj
ministration. They pointed the man
from Ohio toward presidential
nomination. He was only 81 and in
good health.
Longworth the statesman and po-
litical leader was overcoming Long
worth the playboy in the public
mind He had largely overcome the
handicaps Of being the son-in-law
Of one Roosevelt and the husband
Of another.
Alice Made Many Friends
Nonetheless, there were many
rulnors of the enemies made by
Alice Roosevelt Longworth's social
high-handedness among the wives
of congressman, and sometimes fear
was expressed by Longworth's
friends that his support in the
house might be cut away by these
enimositieS.
Longworth's friends worried far
more about such trifles than he did.
once a protest was voiced to him
about his sartorial elegance, par
ticularly his spats.
Go over and look at La Toilette"
he retorted. The Wisconsin senator
was as elegant as Longworth.
Mounted to High Place
He mounted to high place and
died, perhaps on the threshold of
the presidency, perhaps at the be-
ginning Of political oblivion. For
the off-year Democratic sweep of
last November's election slashed his
usual 10000 or 10000 majority to
5000, and Democratic sentiment was
reported increasing in his district,
due to economic and other causes.
He died at the home of a friend
in Aiken, S. c., and was buried in
Cincinnati to the grand music he
had liked to pump from the full
threats of q pipe organ, Handel,
Mozart, Bach and those throbbing
war-songs Of the church, "Adeste
Fideles" and 1.-THE Son of God Goes
Forth to War"

"A BY France. All other nations Germany, of
course, in particular, greeted the announce
ment in terms of unqualified support. Our

Intervention probably came just in time to
prevent financial collapse in Germany which
certainly would have been followed by vic

German business has been in far worse shape
than ours. German farmers were worse off

60 to 40 per cent. its legal minimum, when
President Hoover stepped in.
Such intervention, when undertaken by
any government, is not and cannot be in
spired by mere sentiment, politics to the con-
trary. If we want to help Germany and
thereby help the rest of the world. we are
thereby helping ourselves, A German col

Conscience Is Guide

Private violators of the national prohibit
ton laws will not be touched in the future,
says Director General Woodcock, Speaking
over the radio the national head of the pro-
hibition enforcement agencies says that here
after his department will go after those who
deal in quantities of illicit liquor. The re-
mark seems to tacit admission of the fact
that what one drinks is of no concern to the
armed forces of the nation, 1t also is an in
dication that true understanding of prohibi-
ton may some day permeate this nation.
However Mr. Woodcock and his associates
whom he is picking with more care than ever
now. will continue to wage war on those who
supply poor mortals with the substance that
goes in the cup that cheers.
There is no need to fear ones conscience
where the prohibition laws are concerned.
4 There is no section of them that declares it
illegal or immoral for person to take
drink of an intoxicating liquor that cannot
be manufactured sold or transported If
man drinks illicitly manufactured liquor he
does not offend in any sense. He is neither
guilty of mlsdemeanor nor does he offend
his inner conscience. OF course, if he engages
in the liquor business, whether it be the man

law. but even in this instance his conscience
may not suffer any qualms,
As long as the demand for spirltuous

public sentiment will ever come to the point
where it will call for real united effort upon
the part of all to secure the end of all pro-

ANNIVERSARY

TARDIEU'S SPEECH

On July 9, 1917, Andre Tardieu,
the then French high commissioner
to the United States, gave a speech
before the Franco-American society
in New York in which he outlined
plan for control of supplies in
the war. He said in part:
The great duty of the United
States at the present moment is to
put on the same footing all those
who are fighting for the same cause.
Since you have been in this war you
have been best with requests by each
of the powers of the Entente. You
gave them generous answer, but
you are beginning to realize that If
your assistance should be indefinitely
solicited in the same manner your
immense resources would not be suf-
ficient to comply with requests when
ill-regulated."
To prevent the occurrence of such
a situation Tardieu proposed the
creation in Europe, as near the front
as possible, of an inter-allied COM
mittee to centralize all demands,
study and control them, and to sub
NIT them to the United States
on behalf of all the Allies, grouped
according to their urgency in rela-
ton to military operations.

E. Kent Hubbard has suggested something

President Hoover's suggestion of moratori-
UNI on war debts was first advanced some
weeks ago by Senator Bingham. The Sena-
tor claimed for such plan just what is likely
to be achieved. President Hoovers announce

press and by the general conversation which
one hears in public places, with acclaim. 1t is

sounding but worthwhile purpose. has en-
crossed the United States Chamber of Com
meree. which will announce its program
shortly
Nor have congressional minds been idle in
the crisis Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin
has attracted attention and some praise with
his idea for National Council of Planning to
study, recommend and act in regard to the
economic situation. From Representative
DYER of Missouri has come the debatable pro-
posal that the government give us back our
beer and take instead the excise taxes levied
on the brewing industry Other senator's and
representatives are urging sweeping appropria-
tons both for out4and -out relief and for
building programs which will increase en-
ployment.
There are plans for lowering tariff barriers
or for raising them, for shutting out immi-
grants, for higher taxes and for broader taxa
ton, for calling special session of Congress
and for declaring congressional holiday for
two years, for more government in business
and for no government at all. Overriding all
these schemes is the spirit of do-nothingness,
the attitude that if we drift long enough we
shall eventually reach the Promised Land. This
false optimism is masked under the polite term,
''lassez -faire.' 1t sas out of place in an
economic crisis as it would be in war
emergency.

A NAUGATUCK VALLEY HERO
New Haven Register)


The victory of BILLY" Burke, ma
tive and hero of the Naugatuck val
ley, in the National Open Golf
championship at Toledo was one of
the most spectacular ever won in he
history of the ancient game. Never
before in the many playings of our
national open has there been a con-
test that in remote degree resem-
bled it or was filled with such soul
trying events as marked this one.
For 144 holes those two remarkable
young men, Burke and George Won
Elm, the yellow haired lad from the
Pacific Coast, played almost as one
man. In the end one had the better
of the other by one lone stroke at
medal play.
Both of these young men are
American born sons of parents who
sought these shores as homes in the
hope that their offspring might be
reared under the inspiring influence
of our flag. Both have made good in
a large way and stand as PERSONAL
tiles to be emulated by thousands of
boys who love the open and desire
to lay their lives along lines that will
provide incomes in that beloved
open. Each of the idols of the mo-
ment has often demonstrated the
stout heartedness that marked his
play in this momentous tournament;
each has ever shown that spirit Of
true craftsmanship so essential in
keeping the game of golf on the
high level of ethical practices that
it occupies and has occupied now for
centuries. They both are true heroes
in their field of sport. That the Maui
gatuck boy proved the winner is, OF
course, source of keen joy to the
people of this vicinity, yet truly can
it be said he never would have
reached the heights to which he
arose had he not geen pitted against
stout hearted rival wo made him
go even until the very limit of cour-
age and endurance, to win.

GREAT GOLF
(Hartford Courant)

In all probability, Billy Burke of
Greenwich would be the last to
claim that he Is better golfer than
Bobby Jones, whom he succeeds as
open champion, but he may justly
claim that his title was harder
earned than any won by his prede-
cessor. During his career as a
player in tournaments, Jones more
than once played extra rounds to
decide the contest, but he never was
obliged to play ~ additional holes
to win a championship. The out
come of the play at Inverness leaves
no doubt that the retirement of
Jones has left stout golfers still on
the links.
To win such a contest required
not only exceptional skill, but ex-
traordinary stamina. To play even
SO holes against a competitor who
is never more than a stroke be-
hind imposes strain, while to play
four times as many tests every
nerve. With his opponent, George
Won Elm who finished only a stroke
behind, Burke gave a brilliant exhi-
bition of staying power that speaks
