Gen. Dawes Says Door of Retirement Shut with
 Finality' for Him

CHICAGO, Nov. 16. - A power in virtually every cam paign since the first time Mckinley ran in 1896, Gen. Charles c. Dawes says the door of retirement has shut with finality on his political career.
 'Tm out of politics for good" was the brusque state ment with which he moved down any suggestion that he might be called the G. o. P. hope for the 1886 campaign. He said they could not draft him for further political serv- ice.
 Political Career
 Gen. Dawes was ST years of age in August and would, therefore, be II in 1886. He began a brilliant National political career as lead- ing campaign contribution gatherer and stump speaker al b31 in the Mckinley campaign of 1896. He was appointed Comptroller of the Currency by President Mckinley in 1897 and served until 1901. While always active in Republican politics he devoted his time to banking in Chicago until he was commissioned Brigadier General in the National Army. His war record on Gen. Pershing's staff was brilliant. After the war the emphatic nature of his testimony before a Senate Con- mittee peremptorially stopped a Senate investigation into the war record of the Wilson Administra- tion. It was in that testimony that he used the words Hell and Maria" which became a nickname for him.
 Nominated
 He was nominated for Vice. -Presi- dent by an anti-leaders movement in the Republican National Con- vention in 1924 at Cleveland when President Coolidge was nominated It was during his administration of that office that he with Gen. Pershing, speaking for the Pres dsnt and the army on the eve of

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 16.-Rumors of royal romance between Prin- cess Ingrid. pretty 22-year-old daughter of Sweden's crown prince and Prince George, fourth son of the king of England, will not down.
 Not even the discounts given out by court circles in London nor the departure of the princess from the British capital unattend- ed save by her holiday host, the Duke of Athlone, served to stifle the talk here.
 Sweden remembers the many ap- psarances of the two in public when Prince George accompanied his oldest brother the Prince of Wales, on the latter's visit to Sweden in October.
 At Races Together
 He was constantly at her side at the opera, the race track, the luncheon table and on promenade. It was even related that they were seen walking hand-in-hand and in Sweden that is a sign of betro- thai. either announced or immi- nent.

College Men in Politics.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

A good deal of discussion has followed the sug- gestion of Governor Cross, of Connecticut that college graduates think seriously of politics as career College editors, when queried on the mat ter inclined to the view that politics is too dirty, or that it is too far from college mems interests, or that it is too unremunerative. At any rate they are not enthusiastic about politics as career for college men.
 It would seem that the college editors have missed the point, and rather conspicuously. Ger tanly politics has an ethics different, to be sure, but just as high as that of business and the pro- fessions And politics is just about remunerative as teaching or writing selng-fleds that attract college graduates without fail
 Perhaps we come to the truth when we recognize that college graduates are peculiarly un- fitted for politics when they first emerge from the cloister Politics is of the of compromise; principles must be learned from practice, not from books. Theories are astonishngly useless for the politician
 figures of practical politics have to power after long apprenticeship of struggle against pow lerty and inimical groups. They learned through bitter experience the art of selfcontro and control of masses of people. They have learned the things that really count in the lives of everyday and women They are realists, and out of their realism comes their empirical approach to human problems which is their capacity to rule. College men, by virtue of their college training are either dealists or psuedo-cyncs. Precious few | of them are realists. That perhaps is the chief reason why they can't succeed in politics. at least

FEDERAL TOLL ROADS UNTHINKABLE

In the bill now pending in both branches ol Congress providing for transfer of the actlVes ana power of the Alaska Road Commisson to the De- partment of Interior, there is clause which em- powers the Secretary of Interior to fix ana collect tolls on any of the roads under his jurisdiction. If this absurd bill should become law despite the practically unanimous protest of all sections of Alaska that section of the measure should by all means be stricken.
 Traditionally the Federal Government has op- posed toll roads and it's road building authorities have fought to prevent toll bridges The right of the public to free roads, highways built from public funds has been at all times staunchly defended by the Federal Government In 1916, when Congress enacted the legislation for the first Federal aid road system under which eventually the States assumed paramount interest in their own road systems re- placing the old hodgepodge system Of township ana county control it provided that all roads constructed under the provisions of this act shall be free from tolls of all kind"
 The act of 1916 was amended by Congress in 1921 by the law which is known as the Federal Highway Act With some few unimportant amend ments that is the law under which today the States and Hawaii receive Federal aid in building public roads In the 1921 act, the following language is found in section nine:
 That all highways constructed or recon
 structed under the provisions of this act
 shall be frey from tolls of all kinds.
 The determination of Congress to at least keep the Federal Government out of the toll-road busi- ness was again evidenced in 1927 In that year, to make it possible for States with limited financial resources construct expensive bridges without be- ing forced to financing through private corporations to which granted toll privileges, Congress amend ed the Act of 1921 to the extent that the States or political subdivisions thereof might receive Fed eral-aid funds for such projects but with the re- striction that as soon the State has been reim- bursed for its own expenditure them they should become free public highways But that law only applies to bridges and their immediate approaches and not to roads
 A toll on highways or bridges or ferries has long been recognized in the United States being a matter purely of State jurisdiction and not of cern to the Federal Government It is conceivable to think that the Territory of Alaska, in lieu of gasoline taxes, might levy tolls it's highways But there is nothing in law practice that would justify the Federal Government in imposing such tolls on Alaska roads which would be nothing more than direct tax on Aaskans to be paid into the Federal treasury. Action of that sort would violate every principle of American government. Surely Congress will not deliberately enact a law applying to this Territory practice which is antagonistc to the basic road law of the Nation, the law through which it co-operates with all the States in roac construction activities.

Political Preaching.
(Boston News Bureau0

It was long ago wisely enjoined to render unto Caesar the things that Caesars, and to God the things that Gods. That demarcat1on IS usually cited in defense of spiritual or churchy interests But also it may at times apply some- what against them.
 It has been matter of quiet resentment among many that so much advice or criticism about quite worldly affairs should be lavished in pulpit or press from clerical sources, usually ministerial. It has mostly been neither profound not authorita- tive when it sweepingly discussed matters economic or political and usually has been all the more vehement and arrogant when thus merely emotion ally based.
 Now it is a Catholic priest in Michigan who has achieved by the character of his repeated radio orations, largely secular matters, an even more conspicuous publicity. climax effort of his was an appearance in Washington as a bonus advocate and the sort of plea he then made. All that did not strike a wholly responsive chord here in Boston.
 The Pilot diocesan Catholic organ, reprints Transcript editorial taxing this priest with play ing with fire" in his treatment of economics and his talk on revolutions. And the Pilot observes that this editorial expresses very clearly the thought in the minds of millions of thinking people in America today
 Now Cardinal OConnell, head of the hierarchy speaking as a citizen and not as prelate, has roundly scored this sort of radio preaching on things political social and economic as "dema- gogic stuff to the poor" and the making Of sen sationaI accusations against banks and bankers" He truly comments that nothing is achieved by arousing popular excitement" and that we do not like to hear almost hystercal addresses from ec- clesiastics" Likewise 'the priest has his place and had better stay there" Further the comment that "the church does not take sides, rich or poor Republican Democrat"
 This is timely rebuke.
 Suppose all ministers, rabbis and priests felt an urge to preach politics!

 This as richly carpeted and curtained as the bedroom, was one of her many working rooms. There was desk with telephones, type writer, a dictaphone transcribing machine. On tine desk, just under the survey, green-shaded lamp, a cylinder of black and shiny wax awaited her. She slipped it on the transcriber, pulled paid of ear- phones over her head, poised her. hands upon the keyboard of her typewriter and presently was typ- ing at great speed while the cylin- der, slowly turning on it's roller, transmitted the faint voice of Grafton Matching into her ears
 Entirely concentrated, she typed, paused, listened, typed again. From the maddening indistinctness of the record, she knew that the oocument she was typing was a highly confidential one. The Old Man almost grunted into the dic- taphone when the matter was Sec- ret. He knew that in the end, she would be able to make it out.

 The task, though immensely ex- acting, was not lengthy. In less than half -an-hour, she took off the earphones and re-read what she had typed. Fixed into the sur face of her desk was a bell which she rang, three short whirrs. Then she got up and walked over to the i hearth.
