JOHN v. DAVIS
IS DOOMED FOR
CAB|NETPOST
Political DopeSters at Capitol
Start Selecting Roosevelt
Cabinet Already
By GEORGE R. HOLMES
Copyright, 1882. by International
News ServiceO

Although election day is
three weeks away and inaugu-
ration a matter Of four months
off, the more confident Demo-
Gratis about the Capitol are al
ready beginning to speculate
avidly upon the makeup of
Franklin d. RoOsevelt's cabf-
net-when and if, he is elected.
This speculation is at once
striking testimonial to Democratic
confidence in the verdict to be
rendered at the polls on Novem-
Der 8, and of the intense party
interest in the makeup of a new
administration. Always, provided,
of course, that there is to be a
new administration.
In any event, the volunteer
cabinet makers are already at
work. This Notwithstanding that
no composite picture of the situa-
ton confronting Governor Roose-
velt will be available until after
the election, when the casualties
can be counted and geographical
considerations be taken into &C
count.
Sure of Strong Cabinet
Democratic spokesmen assert
with positiveness that Governor
Roosevelt, if elected, will give the
country "a strong cabinet"
In this connection, speculation
about the Secretaryship Of State,
the premier post in the cabinet,
centers around John w. Davis,
Frank Polk and Norman Davis.
John w. Davis was the Demo-
cratic Presidential nominee in
1924. He is a former Ambassador
to Great Britain, and accounted
an able one.
Polk was solicitor for the State
Department in the Wilson Admin
istration and has long been a deep
student of foreign affairs.
Norman Davis was under Secre-
tary of State in the Wilson regime,
was commissioner in charge of
foreign loans in it's latter days,
and for a year past has been
identified with the present ad-
ministration in the non-partisan
efforts to promote disarmament.
TraylOr, Baruch, or Glass
For the Treasury post, which,
in view of the economic and fl
nancial times, is likely to prove
the hot spot" of the cabinet dur
ing the next four years whichever
party is put in power, Democratic
talk centers about Melvin Traylor,

PRINCESS SIBYLLE

COBURG, Germany, Oct. 10
G.N.SD The princely pre-War
days of plumes and epaulettes,
when Germany had more mon
archs than the rest of Europe put
together, were recalled today
when Princess Sybille, of SAKE
Coburg- -Gotha, was married to
Prince Gustav Adolph, eldest son
of the Crown Prince of Sweden.
1t was the first royal wedding
to take place in Germany since
the war, and the first time that a
blue-blooded German princess had
been married anywhere in more
than 13 years.
Suitable Grandeur
Bavaria, which honors it's
royalty despite the postwar
changes which have come over the
Reich, greeted the occasion with
suitable grandeur.
It was only civil marriage that
was performed today, the more
picturesque religious ceremony be-
ing reserved until tomorrow.
But there were resplendent uni
forms and beautiful gowns as we'll
as sufficient public adulation to
show that Germany has not di~
gressed so very far since the days
the Hohenzollerns reigned.
Private Ceremony
The wedding took place in Horn
Hall of the ancient Castle of Co
burg with only close relatives of
the bride and groom present.
Duke Leopold of Saxe-Coburg-
Gotha, a close relative of King
George, of England, and father Of
the bride, was witness, as was
the Crown Prince of Sweden.

CHICAGO, Oct. 10 0N.S0.-
The projected extradition of
Samuel insult from Greece struck
another snag today when the

Bellows, who went to the Capital
to obtain the warrant, sent word
that all affidavits would have to
be redraWn and that additional
dispositions were required giving
statements by Oliver Mccormick,
treasurer of the Middle West
Utilities Company.
1t was understood that errors
had been detected in the affi-
davits prepared for the State De-
partment. Prosecutor John A.
Swanson's "Insull staff" immedi-
ately began getting new docu-
ments in shape.

WITH SOVIET

LONDON, Oct. 10 0.N.SO.-
Reaction of the Soviet govern
ment to Great Britain's renuncia-
tion of the Anglo-Russian trade
treaty to protect the imperial
preference agreements signed at
Ottawa was awaited here today.
Economic observers agreed that
abrogation of the treaty would
effectively prevent dumping of
"Sweated goods in Britain, which
would have nullified the effects
Of the Ottawa treaties, but there
was some speculation as to
whether Moscow would retaliate.
In announcing abrogation of

First Get the Facts

Something is rotten in Hawaii That is certain
But what and why are questions not so easy to
answer.
In the present hysterical state of charges an6
exchanges between naval and civilian authori-
ties and between American society leaders and ma
tives the public in the United States will do well to
suspend judgment until more of the facts are in
We suspect that when all facts are known, the
placing Of blame will not be a simple matter For
several basic factors Of trouble seem to be operating
and cutting across another
The initial high-handed attitude Of the navy to-
ward the civilian government and regular judicial
processes is disqueting But the apparent effort of
the Governor and other civilian officials to cover uu
rather central breakdown of justice over long
period Is even more alarming
Nor can the secretary Of the interior and attor-
ney-general and their departments in washington es-
cape some responsibility. If the failure of the Ha
waian civilian government and courts is one-tentt
as bad as charged, Secretary Wilbur and Attorney
General Mitchell should have cleaned I'D tie mess
long ago.
Probably the charges of naval usurpation of power
and Of civilian graft will easier to investigate than
the deeper class and racial conflicts. That cheap
labor has added to the social problem and that the
growth Of the japanese population has intensified
the race problem, are facts only too well known
But to what extent the present Hawaiian crisis
grows out of the twin labor and race problem is a
matter requiring the most careful investigation.

The Water Rate Fiasco

When the city of Indianapolis and the South SIDE
Civic clubs asked the public service commission Tor
relief from the intoerable exactions Of the water
company, one member of the commission suggested
that the company might relax its stranglehold trfe
If a conference was held.
The water company is owned by the family Of
Clarence Gest, who lives in Philadelphia and who
makes occasional visits to this province OF his utility
empire.
The real cost of the plant is represented by mort
gage securities The Geist ownership is 100000
worth of common stock for which he presumed
"a pay s40OO0OO. At par, were he to sell today, the
74y would donate million of profit.
But the conference between C4eist and the city
showed that he has no intention of valuing his stock
at par He insists that it is worth much more than
that In other words his ovrlersip of the stock has
given him potential fortune of many millions Of
dollars Of made dollars" on which he proposes to
collect indefinitely from those who wish to live in
Indianapolis
The conference showed that the Geist attitude
toward the city in its present situation that of
Simon Legree toward the slave of fiction. If Uncle
indianapolis staggers under his burden, and has te
merity protest he feels the lash harder That
is just the threat that made at the conference
suggested by the public service commissioner who
wanted to avoid costly proceedings.
Up to the present there is no Little Eva to sing
lulabes to the helpless city which is apparently the
slave to the water monopoly.
The reports on file with the public service COM
mission show some unacceptable facts.
One of these facts is that the income of the COM
pany grows each year Another is that last year the
Geists took from Indianapolis dividends the
FIVE millions of common stock for which, presumably
they paid four millions, the enormous sum of
$l25O00O
This tax continues while other citizens
struggling with the problem of tax payments and
many unable to save their property from the
advertised sale for delinquencies.
This tax goes on while other citizens are trying
to find money with which to pay jobless men for
made work.
There are enough idle men in the city to con-
struct a new water works. There might be enough
boarded dollars to invest in competitive enterprise
that would rid the city of the burden placed upon
it by the Philadelphia barons
AS far as the water company is concerned, con-
ferences for compromise reductions have become
farce 1t is time for action.

StimsOn Statesmanshin

Having criticised severely the ineffective Man.
churan policy of Secretary of State Stmson. we well
come opportunity to give him credit for an act of
high craftsmanship. We refer to his request to the
Japanese government to remit the punishment of
Major General Ninamiya and his subordinate Of
fcers at Mukden, where American Consul Chamber
lain was assaulted by two japanese soldiers and an
interpreter.
Although the Toxic government, reversing its
initial attitude of partial Indifference had expressed
its willingness to punish the commander and his staff
for the offense of the two prvates and interpreter
Secretary Stmson takes the position that punish
ment Of the three guilty in addition to the for
NAL apology will be sufficient
There was danger that this unfortunate attack
on American official would obscure the real uues-
ton at issue between the two governments-that is
the sanctty of treaties There was danger that this
isolated incident might be used to infame American
hatred Of Japan.
Secretary Stimson can not be commended too
highly for withstanding the pressure of demagogs
and jingoists, and keeping the settlement of the
Chamberlain incident on the plane of justice and
sanity.
Stinson's act should clear evidence to
the Japanese people that America is asking no
pound of flesh, that America has no hostility to
Japan, that America desire to dictate to Japan
Americas sole interest in the Manchurian con-
ict is the observance of American treaty rights and
the preservation of the nine-powe and Kellogg
treaties as essential to world peace.
BY violating those two treaties-which she signed
with the United States China and other nations
Japan has endangered all the worlds peace ma
chnery. Until Japan ceases that treaty violation,
she will not regain the trust of the world.
1t is the duty of the United States as treaty
sgnatory, to confer with the other neutral sgners
of the ninepower treaty joint action to save the
treaty We not understand Stimson's failure
to call such conference. But, If the United States
is determined to act alone we believe it should break
diplomatic relations if Japan persists in treaty
violations.

Just Every Day Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

THE Rt. Rev. Lord Bishop of ST. Albans London
Il came over the other day and gave us tremen-
dous faying.
To be sure, he confined his hagellations to men,
oers OF the Protestant Episcopal church, at whose
convention he spoke and whom he rebuked for the
increase in divorce and the use of contraceptives
1t is to be feared that the lord bishop sincere
ne Is will find himself marching under the banners
OF the minority. For each day aymen of his church
depart from such teachings
1t is true that if all members of all denominations
that denounce divorce and birth control honestly
would practice these preachngS, these evils evils
righteous are polluted and churches like individuals
can not point others to holy ways if they themselves
do not walk therein
least they can not under present religious ideals
n which set up the theory that the good must
make rules for the bad
Sometimes think our whole religious conception
is erroneous for I do not believe that the church
should be the law-naker for divinity. The people
OF every age have suffered from too many regulations
They have sought for hearts through toe
many taboos Cropping for consolation, they have
received reprimands
The church of God should be first of all sanctu-
airy Tor the oppressed, the weary, and the sinful
Jesus himself set up no laws. He made few demands
He was only always there to advise to comfort and
to aid.
Divorce conditions are indeed distressing But
can We actually improve them by a rigid conformity
70 the standards of long ago? That is hardly likely
because we are making for ourselves new world
and perhaps new religion
Men have come to believe that this life too, is a
glit and that to be reasonably happy in 1t is also
to serve God

Thus the degree of emotional

J do human beings in middle age.
The hygienist who advises human
beings to their conduct in relation
ship to health observes with inter-
est the part that emotions may
play in human life. In his advice
he is frequently between two horns
of a dilemma.
He must indicate the necessity for
a certain amount of control of emo
tional reactions, but he knows at
the same time that emotions may
be too strongly controlled and that
such control may, in itself, produce
morbid conditions.
The human being who refuses to
give way on any occasion to joy
or to grief, who does not find him
self stirred by close competitive ath-
letic activities, who represses every
response, finds himself soon unable
to respond even should he wish to
do so.
The temperamental person who
insists that he or she, and it is
usually she, can not control the
emotions, is exhibiting a form of
egotism and selfshness that is an
lndetenslble trait of character.

Fat CITY Paw Rolls

THROUGH Mayor Walker has dis
l. missed it as an item of no
great consequence, another half
million could be saved by looping
off the salary increase, which was
authorized two years ago.
In this connection, it would be
interesting to know just how much
could be saved were the city to cut
all salaries of $4,000 or more by 10
per cent.
Such a cut would be far less than
the executives and managers of
thousands of corporations have been
obliged to take.
United States Steel, for instance,
not only has reduced salaries, but
discharged many of it's well-paid
employees.
Right now the railroads are con-
ferring with union chiefs over a
10 per cent wage reduction, and
there is little doubt of its accept
ance.
