A T the end of the first session of
L A the final round of the ma
tional amateur pivot and progress
sive tournament of the American
Bridge League held in st. Peters
burg, Fla Mrs. l.. H. Brink, who
represented The indianapolis Times,
had a comfortable lead
This lead, however, was cut down
considerably the second day, but
nevertheless she still was out in
front and for while it looked as
though indianapolis was destined to
win the championship
During the entire third session,
Mrs. Drinks bad luck continued
along with poor cards, and as a
result she received a tremendous
minus score which put her hope
leSsly out Of the race.
However, on the last day she
made a brave comeback, though not
sufficient to overtake Mr.. Dureen
of San Francisco who became
Americas first national pivot and
progressive contract champion.
Mrs Brink well demonstrated
her championship caliber the first

NRA Deflation

The Roosevelt Administration
is apparently getting ready to
deflate the National Recovery
Administration and turn over
the enforcement of the codes to
the Federal Trade Commission
after the national recovery act
expires two years hence.
Mr.. Roosevelt wishes to have
in power a commission that will
be sympathetic with the pur-
purposes of his Administration
in compelling the enforcement
of these codes.
If the Supreme Court SuStainS
the President, Mr.. Roosevelt can
then move any member of q
quasi-judicial body, like the Fed
eral Trade Commission, under
the same circumstances that
Mr.. Humphrey has been re-
moved.
If the court decides against
the President, Mr.. Roosevelt viii
thereby be relieved Of the tre-
mendous pressure which the
politicians of his party are put
ting upon him to replace Re-
publican members on these
quasi-judicial agencies with
Democratic appointees.
Perhaps Mr.. Roosevelt takes
the view that the President will
win under either decision of the
court.

be a famous case upon the be-
lief that the decision OF the
Supreme Court in the Myers
case, which was handed down
in 1926, can be applied to the
case of Mr.. Humphrey.
The question in the Myers
case was whether the President
had the power to remove with
out cause q postmaster. Th0
Senate was granted the prtTa-
lege to intervene in that case.
Through special counsel ns
Senate set up the contentlnp
before the court that a pos
master appointed by and with
the advice and consent Of bt10
Senate could not be removed
without the consent 70 the
Senate.
This contention was overruhd
by the Supreme Court, Chief
Justice Taft handing down the
decision. From this decision.
Associate Justices McReynoldS.
Brandeis and Holmes dissented.
Mr.. Roosevelt is apparently
relying upon the decision Of

Gift of Words

A gentleman through and
through, a man Of such natural
dignity as sometimes offended
those who set little store by
careful manners, Richard Hard
ing Davis had the precious gift
Of words, the priceless gift Of
painting pictures of life in its
romance and it's dram.
Years ago, sitting at dinner
with Richard Harding Davis, .
journeyman at the feet of q
master, I asked him to name
the most inspiring handiwork
of man that he had never seen.
He replied Instantly: The
Winged Victory of Samothrace."
It is interesting to recall that
remark of Davis because caa-
penters and masons, are remod-
cling the great stairway and do
ing all the finer work, perhaps,
under the eternal challenge Of
that marvellous figure of Vic
tory. It is the finest piece Of
early Greek sculpture that the
world cherishes today.
The head and arms are lost in
the ruins of Time, but so irre-
sistible and all-compelling was
the genius of the sculptor that
the great, marble goddess, poised
upon the prov of a speeding
galley of war, sounding the sig
nal for battle upon her lost.
golden trumpet, causes the
blood to storm through veins
and heart.
Her invincible advance into
the unknown! Always to me
she seemed to symbolic the
dauntless advance of humanity
through the ages, dark and ter
rifying ages; through war and
it's bIoodshed; through famine
and it's blight, and all the black
ness of ignorance; breasting
into the silent unknown from
which no voice comes back.
No riddle of life so grips the
human heart as that mystery
of the unknown; that mystery
of the eternal sea, sweeping be-
tween here and the hereafter.

Had Seeing Eye

History may never quite re-
peat, but it offers some curious
and fascinating analogieS. What
a picture Of that glamorous and
colorful ceremony could have
been made by that first-rate hui
man being who wrote with the
hearing ear and the seeing eye,
he whom I once had the honor
Of calling friend, the late Rich
ard Harding Davis!
He died in April, 1916, as the
direct result of the toll taken by
the icy blasts of the Balkans on
the last Of his many adventures
as a war correspondent.
More than any other Ameri-
can of his times, as my friend
Arthur Maurice writes, Richard
Harding Davis stood for an
age-the age Of sentiment and
romanticsm.
Perhaps the finest thing he
ever wrote was his description
of the gray-green legions of the
imperial German army sweeping
through Brussels like a mighty
river. And it is all the more
credtable to Davis skill and
imagination that he did not ar
rive in Brussels until the Ger
man army, striking like a lance
toward the heart Of France, had
passed through and had gone
their way. Not to be beaten,
Davis went at once to the
American legation and for many
hours sat with Brand Whitlock,
our minister then and a former
newspaper man, drawing from
Whitlock, and making his own,
every dramatic detail of the
memorable spectacle.
The heroes and heroines OF
his novels and short stories

President Roosevelt has taken
the first opportunity to compel,
if not to invite, the Judgment OF
the Supreme Court Of the
United States upon one of the
greatest powers of his exalted
office power Of removal.
This the President has done
by removing from office sum-
marily William E. Humphrey.
Republican, who was appointed
by President Coolidge and re-
appointed by President Hoover
as a member Of the Federal
Trade Commission.
Mr. Roosevelt attempts to
Justify Mr.. Humphreys removal
upon the ground that, as he be-
neves. "the aims and purposes
of the Administration with re-
spect to the work Of the COM
mission can be carried out most
effectively with personnel OF
his own selection.
The Washington times., 1933-10-11
Humphrey Defense

The order of removal fol-
lowed the refusal of Mr.. Hum
phrey to resign. This refusal
Mr.. Humphrey attempts to de-
fend in these words:
"The statute creating the
Federal Trade COmmissiOn
says, any conmissioner may
be removed by the President
for inefficiency, neglect of duty
or n1alfe0s0nce in office.
Congress intended that the
Federal Trade CommissiOn
should be an Independent
semi judicial, continuing body,
at all times qualified to deal
fairly and intelligently With
matters that come before it.
"The statute proUides for
rotation in office of it's mem
bers. The UitGl purpose of
these provisions rD0s that the
business of the country might
at all times h0Ue, in the oft
quoted language or the 0u-
preme Court, "a tribunal Gp-
pointed by law and informed
by experience.
"The Oery purpose Of the
statute, it seems to me, Is
destroyed by the pOWer of the
President to remove a member
of that body because he GOants
in his place a member of his
own selection"
Personality is fortunately and
conspicuouSly absent from this
case. The issue is Joined on a
question of high principle and
the decision as to whether Mr..
Roosevelt or Mr.. Humphrey Is
right must ultimately come
from the highest court in the
land.

the making of that youngster
who was you.
Now you are saying, I'm
just a poor carpenter, out Of
a job," or, I'm just a little
Stenog, and who cares whether
I die or not?"
But that's not so. You're
more-far more-than "juSt a
poor carpenter" or "a little
stenog." You're a harvest Of
the ages!
Billions Of lives have gone
to the king of YOU.
Countless generations Of men
and women have lived and
died, struggled, suffered, bat
tied, prayed, worked, wept and
sacrificed, that you might be
what you are today.
You think you're having a
hard time? Think of the hard
time they had! You think
you don't count before the
cruel odds of this modern
world? Think Of the odds they
faced! Fire, flood, earthquake,
pestilence, savage beasts-and
their own helpless ignorance.
You think this is a cruel
world? Think of the appall-
ing cruelty of this world, where
men still lived by the law Of
the wolf and the baboon.
But out of all that blunder-
ing came wisdom. Out of all
that battling came courage.
Out of all the suffering came
kindness-and a daWning sense
of decency and justice.
And out of everything came
YOU. All that they were, all
that they did, lives on in you
today.
Just a common little person
who doesn't matter? No, my
dear; you are the hope and the
harvest of all those defiant gen.
erations who, though dead, still
live on in-YOU. You are their
masterpiece. You are their
latest challenge, hurled by man
kind against the Powers Of
Darkness.
YOU CARRY THEIR TORCH!
You think you don't matter?
You're ready to quit? Don't!
If your heart is so sick that you
no longer feel that you matter

Perhaps you have been i'm
pressed by the fact that when
you did not need help from
your friends, it was most often
proffered.
At times when it might have
been possible for these friends
to do much for you, only a few,
if any, volunteered to assist
you.
This is not surprising, but
is what happens to everybody.
It's human.
Consider what you have done
in the past yourself.
While friends were prosper
