Mrs. Fiske.
tNew York Herald Tribune


 In the death of Minnie Maddern Fiske the Am stage has lost of it's great figures, one of those rare fixed stars that shine brilliantly steadily in the changeable theatrical heaven while genera tions of audiences come and go. Pale pretty little girls with pale, pretty emotional talents rose, gleam- ed briefly and disappeared, but Mrs. Fske was al- ways there. than star-a planet fiery and full of inexhaustble strength, courage, intelligence and wit.
 All of herself and of her life Mrs Fiske gave to the stage She began at the age of three, as the Duke of York in Richard III" In the sxty-odd years that followed she appeared in hundreds of roles in most of the fortyeight States she wrote plays herself or colaborated with her husband, Harrison Grey Fiske. The long list of plays and performances is a monument to her energy and Versatility but she had greater qualities which not be added up which live only in the eyes and ears of those who saw her, of those who remember the emotional and tragic imagination which she brought to "Tess of the DUrbervilles the dazzling comedy which made her unforgettable in Becky Sharp" or as Cynthia Karslake in "The New York Idea" the power and intelligence which made her, lin "A Dolls House." "Hedda Gabler' or "Rosmer- sholm" one of the pioneers of Ibsen in America
 Those who saw her only in recent years, mar rowed in her choice of suitable vehicle and soaring fran farceS with the ardor of her comic spirit likely to forget that she had humer she had even more of that rarer commodity, wit that her gifts were equal to anything that she had profound dramatic imagination capable of bridging almost any gap between the person she herself and an apparently unsuitable role that she possessed, in addition to superb technical and skill, in addition to the magnificent panoply of tricks which could make us laugh whenever she wanted us to- keen, penetrating, absolutely frstclaSs theatr- cal mind-a mind which, off stage, often attacked the softer material of real life with biting irony but never quite concealed the beating of warm and generous heart.

tives The Democratic organization in the House lexpedited it's passage there recently.
 Under the terms of the resolution Con- gress shall meet within two months after the cleo tion of it's members instead of the 13 months now required Terms of members of Congress will begin on January 4 and of President and President on January 24 At present Congressmen take office in December of the year succeeding their election. The President and Vice-President inaugurated ion March f. following their election.
 The lame duck" session of Congress has been Ian anachronism ever since the development of modern transportation with it's high speed com muncations system and the popular election of Senators When the country young it was inn possible for all members of Congress chosen in November to be present in Washington for trans action of business by December the Constitution provided that business be carried on by the old Congress- notwithstanding the fact that some of it's members may have been defeated for reelection. There were instances when the control of Congress changed hands in the November election but the party in power did not relnquish it's grasp on legislative authority for than year. This may have been unavoidable at the time the system was adopted but it was not representative govern lment.
 The need for it has long since vanished Con- gress has recognized the fact by passing the Norris measure although it required whole decade for
 it to act. But the lame duck session is not thereby ended It will continue until three-fourths of the States ratify the resolution. Seven years al lowed in which to do this. It is to be hoped
 that it will not require the full maximum period to accomplish this needed reform

Follies of Taxation.
Cincinnati Enauirer.l

tClncnnau EnqunefJ
 In this crisis the struggle of the country to be delivered from the manifold burdens of economic depression it is essential to be very careful in the raising of taxes to avoid taxation placing add- tional burdens business and industry already bending under almost insupportable weights of tax imposition.
 This is especially true of motor vehicle taxes. There many reasons why the proposal for either fuels is objectionable.
 Additional taxes in this respect at this time reasonably will adversely affect traffic safety by delaying replacement of dangerous old cars and the repair of all others.
 100000 to the cost of new cars and trucks and $25 100000 to the upkeep cost of old ones. One of the countrys foremost State motor vehicle com mssioners asserts that the loss of life and property the public highway reasonably may vastly exceed the National Treasurys gain if this increase of taxation is accomplished.
 Likewise, a Federal levy of cent gollon on motor fuel would have, in the opinion of the authority quoted, precisely the effect in re- spect to traffic safety.
 The automotive industry fairly well represents the eountry's situation If people are able to buy ears-now necessity-proSperity is rather obvious. Anything that operates to minimize such buying is not a good thing for the country.
 And all the while the Government has available Ia legitimate of instantly available revenue which, in it's blindness, it fanatieally rejects-a source of revenue which would add millions to the Treasury set the wheels of industry to turning in a multitude of ways give employment to host of workers now walking the streets and highways and relieve the burdens of the farmer

4 DIAMOND BARGAIN

Here is a snap for any young Swain who wants to buy his Only Girl an Engagement Ring. A visit ing Lady who is in temporary fi- nancial distress wants to sell us a beautiful little stone weighing near ly half a karat, set in modern Platinum Mounting for a Hundred Dollars. She says she paid One Hundred and Eighty for it last year in Los Angeles, and in our opinion the price was reasonable. We don't want to buy it because we have as much invested in Diamonds as our business will justify at present. Because she is a fine deserving woman and in real need, we have offered to run this special adver- tisement For those who are inter ested we assure them this is an exceptional bargain that only these special times make possible. The price of course is spot cash and the business will be confidential.

Hooyer,s Friends Active

But the friends of the President have taken nothing for granted. They still are taking steps, quietly
 Ray Benjamin, a San Francisco lawyer and personal friend of MT. Hoover who came to Washington a year ago and began talking with Re publican politicians from far and wide, stil is at work Another Cal ifornian, Mark Requa, has been feeling the Republican pulse un- ceasingly, and reporting the result.
 Recently Frank Hitchcock. for ner chairman of the national com mittee, now a newspaper publisher in Arizona, has been staying in Washington, comforting with lead- CTS and the White House.
 Walter Newton, one of the Pres ident's secretaries, carries in his vest pocket a careful summary of what's doing in every state. 50 does Walter Brown, the postmaster general, who is slated to become party chairman after the conven- tions.
 These are only a few of the many.

HISTORIC TREES.

Examination and certification for shipment to other parts of the country of descendants of famous New England trees, with assurance that the speci- men are free from destructive insect pests is an interesting part of the duties of plant quarantine inspectors of the United States Department of Agriculture who are engaged in the enforcement of the regulations concerning the gipsy moth.
 Many of the young trees which have been dis tributed under this protection descended from the historic elm at Cambridge. Mass. beneath which General Washington took command of the Continental Army on July B. 1775 Before the Wash ington elm died a branch was grafted and it has grown into a beautiful tree on the public grounds at Wellesley.

By BYRON PRICE

Because it is all being done so quietly you'd scarcely guess that a campaign is in progress to choose Republican nominee for the Pres idency.
 The current of Democratic activi- ty has become a roaring rapids, it's surface filtered with rivalries and dessensions. The Republican wa ters run still, but deep.
 Long ago the friends of Presi- dent Hoover realized there might be a formidable effort to deprive him of that second nomination which tradition says is the right Of every occupant of the White House.
 Times were bad. Politics were bad. Republican prestige had lost heavily at the offyear elections At one end of the party the insur gents were insurging with more than ordinary zest. At the other end a draft Coolidge" campaign was spreading out noiselessly among some of the stalwarts.
 The friends of the President took steps. They took them quiet ly. But they were so effective thet months ago his nomination be- came a foregone conclusion.

ScareS-But None Serious
 Of course the Coolidge renuncia- ton last fall was the bitterest med icine of all for those who hoped Hoover would be beaten. The Sage of Northampton sounded a call to stand by the President" in such clarion notes that it echoed through the whole Republican corridor.
 One or two scares have reached the alert ears of the Administra tion watchers since then, but none has been taken seriously.
 A half dozen independents, in- cluding Senator William E. Bora' and Hiram Johnson, have let il seep out that they might be in- duced to run. The many confer ences of this group appear to have come to nothing at all so far as the gathering together of anti-Hoo- yer delegates is concerned.
 Col. Horace Mann, the Hoover southern manager, in 1928, has been busy for weeks trying to build ur a stop-Roover organization, chiefly in the south. Mann's own state ot Tennessee is one of several whose central committees recently have gone on record for Hoover.
 A Draft Dawes" program was proposed by certain Senators. The Presidents confidants were certain General Dawes himself would put the quietus on that, as he did completely.

Whenever an open primary fight is necessary to capture state del- gation it means the candidate must line up with one local faction CT another Many embarrassing complications have emerged from such alliances.
 Besides, in North Dakota, the in- surgents might have made things very uncomfortable for MT. Hoover, and in Illinois the primary choice is not binding on the delegates.
 With so many birds in the hand argue the Hoover men, it is wisest to leave the bramble bushes alone.

Tapping Our Liberties.
(New York World Telegram )


 The clergy and religious press are asked by the Civil Liberties Union to back bills by Senator Blaine and Representative Bolsau, of Wisconsin, forbiddng wiretapping by Federal agents in gathering crime evidence
 The church should be quick to respond A fan atical minority of its ministers has created the whole false impression that the church is more eager to enforce the dry law with illegal methods than salvage the fundamentals of popular liberty
 The Supreme Court, in its unfortunate five-to- four decision. has declared evidence obtained by wiretapping admissible. Responding to popular in- dignation the administration has promised it will not permit such invasions of the home This how ever, is not enough. Official Paul Prys and Peep ing Toms will harass the homes so long there is loop-hope in the law. Hence the law must bt changed.

LENIN CORNER
THE OCTOBER REVOLUTION AND THE
AMERICAN WORKING CLASS

The workers Of the whole world, in whatever
country they may live, rejoice with us and SYM
pathize with us, applaud us for having burst
the iron ring of imperialistic agreements and
treaties, for having dreaded no sacrifice, how
ever great, to free ourselves for having estab-
hshed ourselves as socialist republic, even SO
rent asunder and plundered by German i'm
perialists, for having raised the banner of peace
the banner Of Socialism over the world What
wonder that we are hated by the capitalist class
the world overl But this hatred of imperialism
and the sympathy of the class-conscious workers
OF all countries give us assurance of the
righteousness of our cause
The best representatives OF the American
proletariat-those representatives who have re-
peatedly given expression Of their full solidarity
with us, the Bolsheviki-are the expression Of
this revolutionary tradition in the life of the
American people. This tradition originated in
the war OF liberation against the English in the
eighteenth and the civil war in the nineteenth
century. Industry and commerce in 1870 were
in much worse position than in 1860. But
where can you find an American so pedantic, so
absolutely idiotic as 10 deny the revolutionary
nnd progressive significance OF the American
