the mint and woman civil service
commissioner constitutes a record for
winch Hoover'S bob-haired supporters
hankered with hope never destined to
be realized. The Roosevelt amazons
are by no means satisfied with the
laurels already theirs. In particular,
they still have their eye peeled on an
assistant attorney generalship AS to
that, some of the Democratic faithful
are chaflng under Attorney General
Cummings delay in ousting Republican
holdovers, like Seth Richardson Row
st. Lewis and Monte Appel, from as.
steamships on which various party
faithful are casting increasingly cove
tous eyes. There is, of course. no less
W1stful longing in the direction of the
five other assistantships, already vacated
by Republicans and still unfilled-those
formerly held by John Lord O'Brian,
assistant to the Attorney General, and
Aaron YoungquiSt, Charles P. Sisson.

Not long ago President Roosevelt let
it be known that he'd like to rent his
New York house on East sixty-Fourth
street. A wisecracker, who thought.
even thus early in the game, he could

to run again in 1886, asked: "Mr.
President, do you want to rent the
house for four or eight years?" To
tnat F. D. r. shot back: I'D be glad

Viscount Ishli, who will be in WASH
1ngton at the end Of the month to plead
Japan's cause, is no stranger to the
diplomatic game on the Potomac. He
first came here in 1915 to negotiate
the subsequently famous Lansing-Ishii
agreement, whereby the United States
recognized Japan,s special interests" in
the region of the South Manchurian
Railway. Seven years later, at the
Washington Arrnaments Conference,
the agreement was voided. In 1917
Viscount 1Shii came back to the United
States as japanese Ambassador and
stayed here until after the war. He was
one of Nippon's delegates at the Paris
Peace Conference and after that figured
conspicuously in Japan's representation

this country.

judge. Says the Davenport Daily
Times: ''The Governor should act with
vigor and thoroughness in dealing with
these outlaws. A community which
countenances anything which strikes at
the very heart of our system of law
and order as does this threat of hanging
of an elderly jurist should be occupied
in the manner of a rebel colony. It
should be treated as captured prov

expense Of the outlaw county until it
Is apparent that the majesty Of the law
has been duly asserted"
