Police and Citizens

Perhaps they had too much confidence in the Police
Department and have relied great extent upon the
extraordinarily light criminal record Of the past.
Recent distressed conditions have brought about ire
Isndous increase in crime throughout the country That
increase has likewise been noticeable in Washington.
Unless there to be further increase in criminal opera
tons during the winter months the police must have
the fullest cooperation Of all citizens particularly the
operation Of business houses.
The fact that the Police Department actively seeking
this cooperation does not to extent minimize the duty Of

THREE-MINUTE JOURNEYS
By Temple Manning

Teheran's most fashionable
shopping street is the Lalezar..
It is q narrow thoroughfare,
but almost everything from any
where may be purchased there.
It's merchandise is an industrial
league Of nations. Hard by the
shops are the principal hotels
and movies. In the twilight the
citizens Of Teheran promenade
slowly through their Fifth Ave
nue..
Always one Is conscious Of
the black-veiled Persian women
.,liding noiSelessly through the
throng. And when one looks
up from the crowd, always shere
In the distance are the soft
shadows flung down to earth
by the mountains.
Gardens there are In Tehe-
ran, but not quite the lovely
green spots that we have en-
visioned. Flowers, trees, run
ming water. little fountains, but
sand instead Of grass comprise
these oases that are hidden from
the street by high walls. But
it is not difficult to imagine
that in q land of sand and mud
without vegetation, almost, even
q meager little copy of a gar
den would invoke almost lyric
praise,
The Washington times., 1932-11-09

We must pause to mention
the wonderful jewelry and pre-
cious stones that are on sale in
the various shops. Emeralds,
soft blue turquoises, some set
with seed pearls taken from
the Persian Gulf; rubies from
Burma and sapphires from
Kashmir.
Gold and silver filigree work
is to be had everywhere and, Of
course, the omnipresent rug
lures shoppers from abroad.
Truly Teheran Is the mart OF
Persia, and scarcely a traveller
leaves without having pur.
chased several pieces of jewelry.
some curios or a rug.
In the evening, when visitors
have strolled in the LaleZar,
they visit the movies, of which
there are quite a number. Sub
titles to the picture are done
in the original language and in
Persian and Russian. It is
strange to sit in a Teheran
movie and reflect on the power
of the film that can draw such
varied people together. make
the East and the West laugh
and cry about the same things.
That's getting down to funda-
mentals-Persian, Russian, Turk.
EngliShman, American, French
man, all sit enraptured in Te-
heran's movie laughing at the
antics Of Charlie Chaplin.

jackson Campaign
Perfectly Managed

Not all the general edi-
torlals appeared in the Wash
ington papers. Many written
in Washington were sent to
papers in all sections-edi-
torials on the same subject
but couched in different
ways. Then the national
paper would publish these
editorials from papers every
where, all striking the same
note, and thus create the i'm.
preston of party solidarity.
Never has any campaign
been managed so perfectly
as those of jackson under
the direction of these men.
Among the intelligentsia
there is a disposition to sneer
at the Kitchen Cabinet.
There are several reasons for
this. One is that these men
gave political power to the
masses, and some Of the in
telligentsia resent democ-
racy. !
Another is that none Of
them rose to power through
public office. They lacked
the dignity of high public
station.
But the chief reason is that
they won victories, and the
defeated party never admires
the whips with which it is
lashed.

TT may be interesting
l. to recall the men who,
100 years ago, introduced to
American politics the
methods which, with i'm
provements, are used today.
It was after Andrew jackson
had lost the presidency in
1924 in the congressional
caucus that a few ardent
worshipers of Old Hickory
determined to take no
chances in 1923. These men
set to work four years before
to make Jackson's selection
inevitable. Today this is
done by getting commitments
from local politician a ms
throughout the country.
Then it was done in precisely
the same way.
There were three or four
outstanding men in the
group. 1t would be absurd
to overlook the part played
by Martin van Buren in that
fight; but his work was con.
fined largely to a few States
and he dealt only with the
political chieftains. After
ALL, Jackson's strength was
in having behind him in
every community the local
politician not known outside
his own neighborhood.
In bringing these local
politicians into line the prin-
cipal work was done by four
men who have come to be
known as the Kitchen Cabi-
net.

I've tried to get away
And so have you!
So help me, now,
Dear Father;
Help me live, TODAY!
Give me the courage

And help me face
The challenge Of this hour,
Meeting each dawn
With all I have of faith
And energy and JOY,
Until, at last,
When all the dawnS
Are over, I can say:

Well, Death, I'm ready.

First Practical
Politicians
Up until the time of these
men there had been no ade-
quate organization of ordi-
nary men for political pur-
poses. jefferson had tried
and measurably succeeded
in mobilizing them in his
campaign of 1900. But
after that, government be-
came largely a matter for
the leaders. The masses
merely registered the will
of the big men. The Jack
sonians proposed that the
big men should register the
will Of the masses.
This could be accom-
plished only by making
the masses politically articu-
late and powerful. So
these practical politicians,
the first of their kind, set
to work to organize them
in every nook snd corner
Of the country. The local
men were made to under
stand that they were to be
held responsible for their
tiny territory.
The Jacksonians went
down to the precincts.
Formation of
Party Machinery
Having modified the
masses, the next step was
to drill and discipline them
to make them march all
one way. This was done
through leaders of impor-
tance in every State and Sec
tion who were in direct and
frequent touch with the
master minds at the top.
Within a year, orders could
be sent out from the G.. H.
@. with the certainty that
they would be obeyed mill
family in every precinct in
the land.
But ammunition was an
important thing too, and ar
rangements were made to
feed the army with abun-
dant ammunition from Wash
ington. A great newspaper
was established in the Capt.
tai with Kendall and Blair
in charge. It was purely and
frankly a party paper. The
editorials were not only
slashing, but they dealt
with facts and figures in
an attractive way. Anyone
could understand them.
These were copied in news
papers throughout the land.
The party paper itself had
subscribers in every nook
and corner. e
But there were local
slants to the political situa-
tion that could not be ig-
nored. Where the local edi.
tor did not possess the quail
ties necessary to deal with
this loca. slant, editorials
were prepared in Washing
ton for that particular COM
munity.
The Washington times., 1932-11-09
Kendall Most
Astute Politician

The most consummate poll
tician of them all was Amos
Kendall. He was the editor
Of a paper in Kentucky.
Born in New England, he had
migrated to Kentucky in
search of fortune. He was a
rather frail, slight man with
a peculiar pallor. He was
not a rough and tumble
mixer. He was a master OF
management. But he loomed
above most Of the others who
made common cause with him
by virtue of his intellectual
qualities. He understood po-
litical principles as well as
tactics. He was a master
psychologist in getting his
ideas across to the people.
At the height Of his power
in Washington during the
jackson regime he was a
mystery. He seldom ap-
peared in society. When he
did he slipped in and out
like a ghost, and Harriet
Marteneau thought he looked
like one because he seemed
90 pale and wan.
Blair q Master
Of Intrigue
Another outstanding fig
ure in the group was
Francis P. Blair, also a
Kentucky editor. He had a
genius for politics. Per-
sonally he was horribly
ugly, entirely unprepossess-
ing. But no man Of his
time had a more slashing
pen and he was to become
the editorial wizard Of the
Jacksonians.
Then, he was a fighter
one who did not back away
from the contests Of broken
bones and bloody noses. He
possessed the belligerent
qualities Of the Kentuckians
of his time. Along with all
this he was a master Of
intrigue. He could fight in
the open or under cover. 1t
depended entirely on the
occasion.
There was still another
editor, Ike Hill, Of New
Hampshire, a rough dia-
mond with a genius for the
pungent phrase. No one Of
the group was more thor
oughly hated by the enemy.
This was due in part to the
fact that he did his fight
ing in New England, the
enemy's country. No Ian
guage was too foul with
which to lambast him. But
the fouler the language the
greater the delight of Hill.
He would smile after a par
-ticularly nasty attack and
chortis: II have hit them,
for they flutter.
The fourth, member was a
Tennessee planter and per-
sonal friend of jackson s.
Major Lewis. He possessed
none of the genius-like traits

BY Helen Rowland.

that q girl pays Tor success Is
far greater than she bargains
for.
Men may like to be seen
about with a successful woman,
and to bask in her reflected
radiance. A woman who is full
of pep, originality, ideas and
efficiency may be the life and
light of a dinner party and a
fascinating pal. Every man
may admire her, just as he ad-
mires q fireworks display.
But, what he wants to come
home to, every evening, after
a strenuous day, is something
soothing, quiet and unobtru-
sive, who will serve as a back
drop and act as understudy and
applause-from the ushers. A
"yes-woman," who will give him
all the limelight.
He may look for vivacity,
sparkle and mental stimulation
in the women he meets, when
he goes out; but what he looks
for in the woman who meets
him at the front door is placid
ity, serenity and pliability. Be.
fore marriage, his pulse may
beat to a high tempo-but
after marriage he longs for a
lullaby.
Ever notice how SO many
wives of successful men remind
you of those plant flat feltS
that can be bent, shaped, and
nodded to fit the head-and
the imagination? It took long
years of self-control and self
effacement to make them like
that-unless they were BORN
beautiful and dumb.
Nothing for him to live UP
to or look up to-and nothing
to distract his attention from
his work. Nothing to bore him
and nothing to excite him.
Nothing to make him think
