Secession in South Africa.

Natal, one Of the states compris-
ing the Union Of South Africa, Is about
to secede from that section Of the
British commonwealth Of nations. At
Pietermaritzburg, the capital Of Natal,
. congress Is now sitting, consisting Of
delegates who favor the states sepa-
ration from the union with the self
governing colonies Of the Cape of Good
Hope, Transvaal and the Orange River
Colony. which has existed since May,
1910.
The separatists are inspired by hos
tility to the policy Of Premier Hertzog
of the Union Of South Africa toward
Great Britain. Certain acts and pro-
grams of the Hertzog government are
denounced as undermining the rights
of citizens as British subjects" and
tending to the economic ruin" Of Natal
The language question Is one Of the
principal grievances. Natal has .
heavy PERCENTAGE Of residents Of Brit
bh origin, who apparently object 10
the efforts Of the Dutch element, pre-
dominant in the administration Of the
Union of South Africa, to subordinate
the English tongue In educational and
official life. There are other factors
which arouse Natal's antipathy to the
union regime under Mr. Hsrtzog.
The first European colony in Natal
was formed by q small party Of Eng
lishmen in 1842 on the site Of the
present city Of Durham. Dutch Beers
settled in the northern districts Of the
province, and to this day they pre-
dominate in that section. The Natal
secession movement is obviously the
outgrowth of racial conflict, such as
gave rise to the sanguinary Anglo Boer
War of thirty-three years ago. cam
paign which ended in . subjugation OF
Dutch rule in South Africa. only to
be converted, through British mag
nanimity in 1909. into . system Of COM
plete government for the lately
conquered territory.
South Africa has not been free from
internal political upheavals since estab-
lishment of the union, but Natals seces-
sion plans are the first real rift in
the federal lutte. Those who are
fomenting them contend that the part
nership conditions under which Natal
was induced to enter the union have
frequently been violated. II the Sepa-
ratists carry the day. Mother Britain
will face a novel dilemma, though prob
ably not one for which . solution will
be found lacking in her long experience
with the daughter nations" beyond
the seas.

Reason 2-There Is None.

The sane and sensible citizen who
seeks to find some logic and reason in
the hodge -podge Of things that are done
and are left undone In the name OF
economy would follow the wise course
in giving up his quest as bad Job, lest
the sanity with which he has been en-
dowed by beneficent Providence be lost
entirely.
When q revenue bill to balance the
budget was ready for report by the
House Ways and Means Committee after
thorough study by skilled and able men
in that committee, a party caucus of
the House majority might, within few
hours. have decided on action that
would have sped that bill through the
House and prevented the wild stampede
that Is now a matter Of history, and
from which the patched and crazy quilt
bill has finally emerged. But there was
no party caucus.
Now, however, with bill framed not
to raise money, but to spend 1t by the
billions, the Speaker of the House,
author of the bill, summons a party
caucus and by that means guarantees
an iron-clad gag rule that will rush the
bill through without chance for opposi-
ton from the few who refuse to let
themselves be swept of their feet by the
clamor and the turmoil of the moment.
With everything under the sun being
done to encourage the spending Of
money by private interests to give en-
ployment and to stimulate the now of
money and credit two routine bills are
awaiting action by the Congress which
would enable the local power company
to spend $4,000,O0O to construct a plant
at Buzzards Point. But one member Of
the House says he will block these bills,
although in favor of them, II another
member Of the House calls them up, and
the other member of the House retail
ates by declaring that they will be
called up by herself or by nobody else.
With the House having passed the
Army bill to retire 1000 able-bodied
Army officers. under the assumption
that saving one-third of their base pay
and allowances will save $4,000, 900, the
House is now preparing to pass another
bill calling for expenditure Of $l5,oo0.-
900 on an Army housing program.
And with Congress planning on the
one hand to spend its way out Of debt
by doing something for the unemployed,
it is planning on the other hand to cut
Government pay in manner that will
throw additional thousands in mercan-
tile and manufacturing establishments
out of work-and is garnishing the pay
cut with ten per cent cut in appropria-
tions that will throw an unestimated
number of Federal employees on the
street.
One seeks in vain to ind order In
this chaos.

A Great Base Ball Manager.

Base ball without John McGraW aS
an active manager will seem strange
to the multitudes who season after sea-
SON follow the fortunes Of the clubs
comprising the two major leagues Of
the national sport. The announcement
that he had quit the helm Of the New
York Giants came on Friday with
surprising suddenness, with no previous
intimation of any intention on his
part to step out OF the "spangles."
McGraw has been a colorful figure in
the game for forty years, first aS Q
brilliant player on the famous old
Baltimore team, when he was best
known as "Muggsy" and then as man
ager of the Giants. He brought that
team up from last place, which was its
chronic position when he took hold, to
second In the race in his second
season and first in his third. In his
thirty years Of managership his team
won ten championships and eleven
times held second position. In the
early twenties il won four successive
league championships and in the en-
SUNG worlo series it won twice and
lost twice, the second loss being to
Washington IN 1924. In ly1o the
Giants finished in the cellar" the
position which 1t held when McGraw
took charge and which, by coincl-
dence. it is holding at this time IN the
National League race.
McGraw was an exemplar Of the old
type of aggressive ball player and man
ager. He literally fought his games. He
was a bane to umpires. He entnused
the fighting spirit into his team. The
result was Lnal his performances on the
field were always the object OF public
interest and altnougn anathemas were
hurled upon hlm by offended partisans
OF his opponents, he and his prayers
drew crowds to the ball parks. He was
q manager in the literal sense. He d.
rected every play. It t said Of him
that be did not allow his players to
think for themselves, instructing and
signaling his batters, pitchers and held-
ers play by play and even pitch by
pitch. In point Of management he was
the whole team and the results in the
course of the years were greatly to his
credit.
Ball players of the McGraw type Of
the days of mis- active participation In
the game are now comparatively few.
Managers of his type are also rare.

He and his famous wigwasging score
card are traditional. but In . differ
ent manner from the Mc0raw mode
of lively direct engagement in every
contest. McGraw made many enemies
as q result of his intense concentration
upon victory, but he also made many
friends and his passing from active d.
rection in the sport will be regretted.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHnANDER JOHNSON.

Summer Companions.
As louder grows the general shout,
How sweetly sounds the rhyme
That was employed to tell about
The good old Summer time!
The racketeer was then unknown.
Reluctant voters could be shown
The way, on roads Of patriot pride.
To let the old bandwason ride.
Friends were not always forced to ~
Some point on which to disagree.
A. statesmen struggle TO adjourn
And to convention strife return
The Jazz band stops in mute despair
While greater discord 1ills the air.
The birds will sing where blossoms smile,
But sentiment is out Of style.
Harsh Ridicule has now displaced
The Simple and Sublime.
A general whirlwind has effaced
The good old Summer time.

HANDSOME BAND
TEACHER SLAIN.
POLICE BAFFLED
Reason for Gang Murder Is
Sought; Private Life
Probed.
By United Press

By United Press
CHICAGO, Dec.A 1.-THE private
life of Edwin o. Schildhauer, Is,
handsome and talented high school
bandmaster, was reconstructed to-
day by police, who hunted some clew
to the strange death of the re-
spected teacher, apparently as
gang ride" victim.
Utter lack of motive was the
chief handicap of the police as they
CROPPED for the trail of two gunner,
who kidnapped the tall curly haired
musician Saturday night as his wife
watched from the window of their
home.
Triangle" CIew Traced
Schildhauer's body was found an
hour later, the skull crushed, and
two bullets in the brain in Cicero,
once headquarters of Al Capone.
Theories ranged from the notion
of certain lesser investigating off,
GERS that a triangle" was in some
way responsible for the Staying, to
the Suggestion-equally extraor-
binary in the light of Schildhauer's
respected reputation-that the cir
cumstances we're those of a typical
alky killing"
Schildhauer's young and pretty
widow recalled that four years ago
substitute teacher at Austin high
school, where her husband taught,
had become enamoured of him. This
woman, said Mrs. Schildhauer, was
transferred from the school at the
musicians instigation.
Praised by Principal
However, neither Mrs. Schild-
hauer nor police could believe there
was any connection between the in
cident and the musicians death.
Principal Wilbur Wright of the
high school described the slain man
as one of the finest instructors on
the schools staff.
His character was wholesome
and his influence splendid" said
Wright.
His pupils echoed these praises.
Mrs. Schildhauer denied she and
her husband ever had quarreled.

crossed the yard between the
houses of Attorney General Pal
mer and the RooseveltS.
There was a tremendous explo-
sion, crash of glass from scores
of windows up and down the
street, fire apparatus and ambu-
lances changing, policemen shout
ing.
DOTH Roosevelt parents were
ID out of the house at the time,
but they rushed in few minutes
later, gasping with fear as they
realized that the skylights and
windows of the big sleeping room
had been wrecked by the blast.
But the first thing that met
their eyes was widely grinning
Jimmy. No one had been hurt,
for none of the children was
sleeping in the glass-inelosed
room.
Jimmy, however, had followed
the sound of unearthly, muffled
wailing to the lower regions OF
the house, and had come upon the
specter of the Negro cook, sitting
in bed with a sheet over her head,
rocking and praying to the utter
most heavens.
A guard was stationed. at the
Washington home after that, but
it was not his business to fore T
stall minor explosions within the
effervescent household.
A number of people, for in
stance, still remember the mince-
meat episode. This is Anna speak
ing:
II know that we must have
completely bedeviled our colored
servants. 1t wasn't fair, either,
because most of them really
adored us and let us take advan-
tage of them.
And sometimes, usually for no
reason at all, we'd smear hate
on somebody and make him the
object of our attentions until the
big hate or the little hate'-ac-
cording to our fancies-was sat-
isfied.
XXTELL, this time we had
w very big hate against the
butler and the second man. And
it was on the evening of a big
formal dinner that mother and
father were giving.
Our inspiration came when we
found the buffers and second
mans shoes all newly polished
and sitting side-by-side in a rear
hall. And then we remembered
those shoes with mincemeat. 1t
cook always made up to last
throughout the winter.
1--WE smuggled it out and filled
those shoes with mencemeat. 1t
was quite moist and sticky, and I
remember how satisfactorily it
squished as we stuffed it into the
toes.
But we were so pleased with
ourselves that we made far too
much noise getting away, and
were discovered. And the last
thing I care to remember about
that incident is being chased
around and around the kitchen
table by cook, who had broom
in her hand"
