A FTER I read the interview I no
L n longer felt that the picture was
the. worst part Of the exhibit. It's
funny how. silly your words sound
when you talk them and somebody
else writes them. 1 mean even in
the places where he wasn't making
up as he went along.
I suppose that is why public men
always are complaining about being
misquoted. Cold type can hit you
right in the spine, like a cold
shower.
If 1 ever get to be a public man
as a regular thing, I am going to go
in for the strong, silent stuff. or 1
will get me White House spokes-
man.
Maybe I did say some of the
fatuous things about prohibition
which I found in the paper. After
all, how can you expect anybody to
talk brilliantly when he thought he
was going to get drink and ended
up with nothing more than a nose
full Of fashlight powder?

blindly on brokers' tips and invested in

Election Bets.

Every great national campaign de-
velops numbers of ridiculous wagers, and
the 1882 election has been no excep-
tion to the rule. Ardent Republicans
of yesterday now are engaged in max
ing themselves foolish in the discharge
Of nonsensical obligations incurred by
unwisely challenging fate.
Relatively few of these freak per-
formances attract the notice Of the
press. Possibly their lack Of novelty is
an explanation. The first man who
rolled a peanut from the White House
to the Capitol deserved to be universally
advertised, but all who have done like
wise since have been mere repeaters
and have merited no special fame. In
deed, there has been conspicuous
deficiency of originality in the cleo
ton wagers Of recent years. The obvi-
Gus penalties Of growing whiskers or
wearing outlandish costumes have been
made so common by fraternity initiates
that no one manifests shocked interest
in them any more.
Apparently, rich field for an in
yentive genius exists. Surely there Is
some individual in the country who Is
competent to devise new list Of pen
alties for political bettors. There must
be a large public impatiently awaiting
such assistance. Willingness to incur
conspicuous attention certainly is not
undergoing a decline. Psychologists say
that there are legions of men and pre-
Sumably quite as many women who are
not at all adverse to that negative sort
of fame. Oddities of dress for CEN
turies have been employed by persons
in search Of publicity, and originality
in conduct or manners has been prac-
ticed with equal avidity and with like
intent. 1t is sufficiently apparent that
if public attention cannot be won by
conformity, it can be gained by de-
liberate violation of common customs
and oscar Wilde and Bernard Shaw
have used the trick with such excellent
results that imitators have sprung up
by hundreds. The difficulty is that
mere imitation is not enough. 1t is
necessary to be originally original.
Possibly prize might be offered for
truly novel election penalty The idea
is commended to those who desire that
kind of notoriety. Failing stimulation,
freak betting may disappear altogether
from the folk experience of the people
The old stunts are not good enough.
That may be one reason why they have
lost their hold on public affection. BY
1886 there should be a whole new crop
of penalties. Unquestionably, there will
be an abundance of exhibitionists will
ing to pay them.

ample, In Missouri, Kentucky and In
diana, unheard of in recent years.
Simon Michelet, president OF the
Get-Out- -the-Vote Club, had the follow
ing comment to make on the speed
with which the results of the recent
election were announced:
1.-THE first election returns in which
I took an interest was the Blaine
Cleveland campaign, 1884. 1t was back
in Minneapolis on old Newspaper Row.
In those days professional men wore
what we kids called stove-pipe hats.
Crowds congregated every afternoon for
some three weeks before the result was
known. When favorable Blaine returns
came in Cleveland supporters hats were
demolished and when Cleveland returns
came in Blaine hats bit the dust. The
crowds stood there even II the cold
November winds blew.
"In 1882 I sat comfortably In my
home getting the returns over the radio.
The wonderful service the Associated
Press rendered In the gathering of cleo
tion returns and giving the people the
news through the Columbia and Ma
tional Broadcasting Companies has
never been equaled in this country and
surely in no other country of the world.
The greatest achievement in the gather-
ing and giving Of election news TO the
public In history"

An unusual application Of the "due
process" clause of the FEDERAL Consti-
tuition Is made by the United States
Supreme Court in ordering a new trial
for seven colored men at Scottsboro,
Ala, who were convicted of an attack
on two white girls. The chief factor
in the case is the claim of the defense
that adequate counsel was not pro-
vided Justice Sutherland wrote the
majority opinion, while dissenting
statements came from Justices Butler
and McReynolds.
"A case which Communists over the
world have made famous is to have
continuance" says the Charlotte OBJ
server. adding: The Supreme Court
finds that the Negroes sentenced to
death for the assault on the two, white
girls had not been given a fair trial.
and so the whole affair is to be gone
over again, and another occasion is
developed for a Communist mob to
surround the Alabama court house In
the usual spectacular manner" The
Jersey City Journal remarks that the
decision was disappointment to a
small group Of American Communists
who had gathered outside the Supreme
Court to do picket duty-for they have
nothing to kick about in the courts
decision" That paper adds that such
a decision gives assurance that there
is at the heart of the American sys-
tenn of Government a fair. dispassion-
ate tribunal which will give just as
much attention to the protection of
rights as it will to thoSc of others
blessed with more of the worlds
wealth"
"The position of the minority mem
bers of the court" according to the
Roanoke Times, was based on the de-
ciSion of the Alabama State Supreme
Court and affirmed that the defendants
had been protected in their constitution
al rights. The action of the Supreme
Court in setting aside the Negroes con-
viction and directing that they be re-
tried in the courts of Alabama will be
received with mixed feelings, no doubt.
This newspaper quite obviously is not
prepared to go into the legal aspects of
the case and does not intend to do so.
It halls the courts decision with
measure of satisfaction, however, as
demonstrating that in this land Of the
free the humblest and most influential
citizen may look to the Federal Gov
eminent for justice, and his plea will
not be disregarded. If the Scottsboro
Negroes are guilty of the heinous crime
with which they stand charged, that can
be established at the second trial no
less readily than at the first. Certainly

Republican party. II viii pass out Of
existence. This Is not new point Of
view for the distinguished president Of
Columbia University. For years he has
thundered a prophecy that II the Re-
publican party did not get on the wet
side Of the prohibition issue. It was
doomed to certain defeat. Now he has
hooked up with the prohibition issue
several others matters which he regards
as principles" and to which he insists
revamped Republican party must ad-
here. Among them are pledges to bal
ance the budget, to keep the party and
the Government free from domination
by interests" to break down the bar
riers raised against international trade,
including high tariffs, to demand
unified monetary system for the world,
and to conserve the remaining natural
resources of the country for the use of
the people.
1t Is high-sounding program. but
in many respects differs not at all from
the demands made by the Republicans
and the Democrats in the last year.
DR.. Butler is in a position to say II
told you so" to the Republicans who
would not agree to go along with him
In his demand for repeal of the eight
eenth amendment. The vets have won
a national victory. There seems no
other reasonable way Of looking at the
results of last Tuesdays election, al
though 1t Is quite apparent to any one
that the economic situation, rather than
the wet issue, was the dominating factor
in the campaign and the result thereof.
But DR.. Butler should realize that
had 1t not been for the great depres-
sion in business Of the last three years
the chances for a wet victory would
not have been so great. The vets have
ridden to victory on the back Of hard
times. The silver lining to the cloud
Of depression, in the opinion Of DR..
Butler and other vets, is the triumph
Of the wet cause in the elections.
Unless the Democrats fall down on
the promises they made during the
campaign, they will go forward with
downward revision Of the tariff, with
an international conference on trade
barriers, with conservation Of the
natural resources, including water
power. and with a balancing Of the
budget. The Republican party in Con-
gress may or may not 60 along with
the Democrats In this program. Ap-
parently, if DR.. Butler has his way. the
G. o. p. will cooperate in all these
matters. If the Democrats falter it
will be the duty of the Republicans to
take the lead. Therein lies the oppor-
tunity of the G. o. P.,. for which DR..
Butler, and other Republicans who be-
lieve as he does. are hoping. 1t seems
that he has no faith in the Democratic
party as a liberal party. Perhaps he is
right. But he appears little unkind to
the party which has done so much for
the cause to which DR.. Butler seems to
have dedicated himself-the anti-pro-
hibition cause.

One consideration that may prevent
skyrocketing of the stock market may
be the fact that the requirement Of
intelligent thrift is obvious and includes
no page in the family budget for specu-
lation money Solid investment only Is
commended, and it may be remarked, in
cidentally, that there is no investment
more solid than a subscription to the
local Community Chest, whose purpose
is to avert the blighting influence OF
permanent and progressive poverty.

An Economy of Giving.

There never has been q time in the
history Of the American people when
philanthropy, professional and amateur,
has been 50 deeply concerned with what
may be called an economy Of giving.
The widespread distress Of the great
masses of the country prompts the
thought that every penny dedicated to
social relief must do penny's worth
of service, every dollar full dollars
worth. There must be no waste.
1t is wholly natural that givers should
desire to protect their gifts. Some,
very properly, have made it duty TO
inquire of social agencies regarding the
effectiveness Of their methods of work.
Investigation by the trustees of the
Community Chest has developed graft
flying results. The majority of the Or
gani2ed philanthropies of Washington
were found to be functioning econom-
ically and efficiently, and those in which
faults were discovered promptly sig
nified their willingness to make cor
rection and amendment. That is ore
Of the values of the Community Chest
idea: 1t is competent to separate the
wheat from the chaff in the field of
the city.
A second fact worthy of notice is
that constituted by the long experience
Of most social agencies in Washing
ton. Many of them have been con-
structively operating for years. They
have outgrown their experimental stage
and have reached at last the perfection
of knowledge Of conditions which init
mate and continued acquaintance
brings. No newcomer, however willing,
can understand the problem at a glance
Study is required The central office of
the Community Chest organization does
not presume to dictate to any member
society or group, but approval signifies
conviction of capacity. No constituent
is admitted until its experience has been
abundantly attested.
In the third place, duplication of
effort is controlled, If not entirely pre-
vented. 1t would be tragic for some
of those in need to be neglected while
others received more than their share
! That danger exists where relief groups
are unorganized; a certain amount OF
wasteful overlapping is bound to occur
/ The Community Chest guards the giver
against such risk. Each society has
its own special province, and unscien-
tiflc duplication has been eliminated in
large part.
Finally, since it is indeed a COM
munity effort, the Community Chest
has the strength and efficiency which
unity implies. Time and labor, as vel
as money, are saved by the arrange.
ment whereby one rather than a num-
Der Of separate campaigns for fund.-
is made at a single season of the yeal
rather than at all seasons. Overhead
expenses are cut to the absolute mini
mum and volunteer solicitation has tht
stimulus and productive quality of 1
corporate enterprise. A high STANDARD
of honor Is guaranteed by the spirit O
the cause and by the conscious desir'
Of the agencies to deserve public
confidence.
For all these reasons the Communit
Chest drive must have particular at
traction for the citizen who resents tn
possibility that his sacrifice to tn
common welfare may be ineffective il
any degree. Unless an individual ha
the knowledge, the training and tn
experience of the agencies he is un
J qualified TO protect his gift. Disil

In view of the big vote by which
President Hoover was defeated, the
question Is asked whether the Presi-
dent, by his personal campaign, had
any real effect on the election. II there
is any doubt about that, one has only
to look at the result in Ohio. A month
before the election was held the Demo-
Gratis claimed they would carry Ohio by
100000 or 100000 votes. Roosevelt
finally won that State by less than
5000 votes. This is one State which
the President crossed and recrossed in
his campaigning. In few weeks more
he might have carried the state ana
others into the bargain.

Tax Reform Plan as
Named by Hoover

RICHMOND, April % QN.SO.
Featured by President Hoover's
appeal for governmental economy,
a demand by Gov. Franklin D.
Roosevelt for a new national
leadership" and denunciation of
prohibition and big banking by
other State executives, the twenty
fourth annual conference of gov
ernors will be concluded with
dinner at the White House.
Governor Ritchie, of Maryland,
knocked the conference into a
cooked hat, following President
Hoover's address, by a defiant
challenge of the Presidents
recommendations.
In a cool, carefully handled ad-
dress, the Maryland head ex-
pressed resentment at the Presi-
dents suggestion that States un-
dertake a reorganization of their
taxation methods, and added that
in connection with the necessity
of rehabilitating States credit, "I
must insist that Maryland is with
drawn from that category"

nors will be held in California,
probably at Sacramento.
