A FLORIDA MARSHAL IS FIRED
(Orlando Reporter-Star)


VIM. H. Harrison is ex-U. S. Marshal
of northern Florida.
Dan Hardie is ex-sheriff of Dade coun-
ty.
Who's next? What's it all about?
Some are glad. Some are sad. And so goes
the bitter pill of politics. To the loyal and
the faithful go the spoils of victory To
those who guess wrong, they wind up
guessing where they shall find job.
u. S. Attorney General Homer S. Cum
mings removed Marshal Harrison.
OF course Mr.. Cummings knows moth
ing about Marshal Harrison and very little
about Florida and probably less about
North Florida. He based his dc eision up
on charges filed by j. B. Hodg who is
dispenser of patronage for the great and
good state of Florida because of his posi-
ton as chairman of the Florida State Demo-
cratic Executive Committee
We have not seen the charges. Per-
haps the ex-U. S. marshal of North Florida
is a bold, bad wolf Perhaps he should
have been removed from office.
We heard that Dan Hardie the ousted
sheriff of colorful Dade, was of unstable
mind, and guilty of malfeasance and mis-
feasance in office. It sounded pretty good
until the ex-sheriff began parading cir
cult court judge, flock of business men
and other before the governor and refuted
all of these accusations. He even went as
far as to produce an alienist from Jackson
Vile, who testified that Hardie was men,
tally okeh.
Somebody wanted Hardie out. Some
body wanted Harrison out.
Whoever that somebody is, they had
influence or prestige or pull" with the
powers that be.
Here we have the spectacle of gov
ernor of the state going to the trouble to
remove sheriff in the face of a shower of
complimentary recommendations for him;
and of the chairman of the state demo-
cratic committee doing the same thing for
a federal marshal.
And yet, we critic. e soviet Russia
and fascist Italy and its illogical and un-
fair way of treating with those whom it
would destroy.
What difference republicanism and
socialism or fascisnn?

WHAT'S WHAT
at the
CAPITAL
seee0aeeeeesesssesase00a
BY HERBERT PLUMMER


WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-
Opinion in Washington informed
circles is divided on the signifi-
canoe of Norman HI. Davis return
from Geneva to this country just
a month prior to the resumption
of the disarmament conference on
December A.
Americas chief delegate to the
parley says the date of his return
to Geneva depends on develop
ments there.
1t was regarded as significant,
however, by some observers in the
capital that Hugh Wilson, ambas-
sador to Switzerland, was left in
charge in Geneva. Wilson. a
career diplomat, has had expert
ence in this sort of thing for
years. Since 1927 he has followed
and participated actively in the
work of the preparatory disar-
mament comission.
The fact is not overlooked. Ell
Their, that it was Hugh Wilson who
remained on the spot at Geneva
when disarmament took long re-
cess in 1882.
He may be prepared to dig i'm
for another long siege of waiting.
No Time To Lose
1T is evident if Davis hopes to
get back to Geneva by the time the
conference is resumed that he must
make every minute count. The re-
quirements imposed by distance
will not permit much delay.
There are those, however, who
see nothing unusual in his deci-
sion to come back and talk over
the situation with President Roose-
welt.
The disarmament conference is
in such a snarl that he might con-
slider it the wisest thing to consult
the president as to future moves,
even if it is necessary TO make a
flying trip to Washington and
back in a matter of days.
Undoubtedly his position would
be strengthened in. the eyes of the
other delegates IL he were to go
into the conference on December 4
armed with oral instructions from
the White House.
Earmarks OF Diplomacy
Some profess to see in Davis
decision TO return to Washington
a skillful bit of diplomacy.
Before leaving Geneva he made
ii plain that whether he came
back in a hurry or not would de-
pend on developments there. This
is directly in line with the policy
Of the United States from the
start-letting Europe move first.
As il il, il the countries OF
GEOGRAPHICALLY Great Britain
and Franee--are DESTROYS OF hay
ing him back by the December
meeting he has given them an add
ed incentive 70 get busy and move
toward a solution of the German
problem on the basis of negotiat-
ed disarmament favored By the
American policy.

which, when built, will create an arti,
ncial lake lis miles long, are aston

AT present the most impressive work is
the driving of four tunnels to divert
the water OF the Colorado River while
the dam Is being built. They are drilled
through solid rock and are nearly a
mile long.
Electricity is building the Hoover
Dam. Already 12,250 horsepower in

power will be applied. Considerable
