Kiss and Fade Out

If ever thought about it at ALL probably thought
that the happy ending American invention, the
bright thought Of some editor in the laeGeneralGrant-
period now find that wrong The happy ending is
Saxon but exclusively American, it invaded
British fiction about the time reached Nothing
pleased the readers of novels in the eighteenth century
more than good cry the parting of the lovers in the
last chaper but with the coming of Queen Victoria every
thing changed for the better and they lived happily ever
after.
The happy ending despised by ntelecua and sup
posed pretty thoroughly weakmnded we'll as bad art
The prime objection it. of is that is not true to
life that for of there cannot be happy ending
less we accept the ancient Greek maxim that to be dead
better than be alive and the best of all things not to be
born But this is precisely the point at which the happy end
inc iuses itself 1t comes little frequently in fiction
and too seldom in fact-but it has its
Great Expectations
In word suspect Americans between 1880 and 1922
roughly believed that fairly happy ending actually pos

crime in putting at the end of their stories The thing
had never happened before-national optimism such
scale No people had expected much had any
been so sure if they then at least their children
would arrive prosperity and comfort and happiness
was fact this expectation Of which distinguished
America all other countries and American novelist
would have false the essential thing America 1t he
had been always grim and tragic And it is worth noting
that since 1929 there have been few unhappy endngseven

SEA, TIDE WIN;
MAN BROWNS

LONG BRANCH, N. j., July 3
Q.N.S0.-A saga of human cour-
age and resourcefulness which
for an hour conquered the tide
of the Atlantic Ocean in an ef-
fort to save a life was recorded
here today
But its ending was tragic. And
Raymond Strobeck, for whose life
the sea was held at bay, was
dead. Strobeck, weekend guest
at a cottage here, was drawn in
by an undertow while swimming.
Companions battled the undertow
and the incoming tide to bring
him, half drowned, to shore.
There Capt. Mervin Stein, of
the fire department first aid
squad, was summoned to apply
artificial respiration. Unable to
move the stricken swimmer with
out stopping respiration efforts,
Stein summoned residents to aid
him.
A hundred men threw up a
wall of sand between Stroheck
and the waves until a doctor ar
rived, who ordered Strobeck re-
moved to G hospital.
At the hospital Strobeck was
placed in a respirator. But after
four hours revivification was
abandoned and doctors pro-
nounced him dead.

department, it was learned today.
He is Vernon Cleaver, 81, for.

Cleaver was bitterly opposed to
the establishment of a highway
testing laboratory, claiming he
could perform the work more
cheaply and efficiently. He car
ried his fight to Capitol Hill with
the result that the laboratory was
discontinued in the 1884 District
supply bill.
The net result was that

THIRD PARTY
IN FIELD
Dr.. Wilson Says Democratic
and G. O. P. Machines Are
In Control of Vets
BY international News Service

Both the Democratic and Re
publican parties will "go wet" in
1886 and third party backed by
drys will appear in the political
arena, DR.. Clarence True Wilson,
fighting Methodist dry crusader,
declared today.
The dryS of the nation, he said,
are politically homeless and will
continue to be whether or not the
Eighteenth Amendment is re-
pealed. If it is repealed, the major.
political parties will reject dry
pleas, and if not will urge repeal,
he believes.
Returning from conferences
with dryS in many sections, DR..
Wilson, who is executive secretary
of the Methodist Episcopal Board
Of Temperance and Morals, indi.
Gated the drys now are casting
about for candidates.
BOrah, Curtis Too Old
Senator William E. Borah Of
Idaho, who rejected a dry plea to
head a third party in 1882, and
former Vice President Charles
Curtis have been dropped from
consideration because of their age.
The Republicans, DR.. Wilson de-.
clared, are grooming former Secre-
tary of the Treasury ogden Mills.
Representative James w. Wads-
worth, cor one of that class" for
the Republican presidential nomt-
nation.
He declared the drys would re-
fuse to support former President
Herbert Hoover in the event he
seeks the Republican nomination
again. The drys expect President
Roosevelt to be renominated. Dr..
Wilson said:
"The only place the drys can
go is to a new party that puts
morals first in American ife."
Attacks Both Parties
Giving the dry view of the
major political parties just now.
he said:
"The Republican party is in
the hands of it's worst element
Walter Brown. former Post-
master General; Ogden Mills
and Pat Hurley, who double
crossed the drys who had
elected Herbert Hoover PreSi-
dent over the most popular man
named by the other side. r
"The Republicans are groom
ing two or three men whom the
drys will never support. They
hint of naming WadswOrth or
Ogden Mills or one of that class
and, if so, it will be the signal
for a great Independent pOliti-
cal movement. OF course, the
drys could never be persuaded
to vote for former President
Hoover.
"The Democratic party is in
the hands of it's best element.
We never had a cleaner or ADLER
Cabinet than today, but they
have all gone bad on beer and
liquor. When we begin to see
what liquor will do for us, the
people will turn from the Demo-
cratic regime, despite the high
minded handling of banking
and other economic matters by
President Roosevelt"

He took the administration to
task for closing all the banks
during the emergency current
when the President assumed Of
flee. He also criticized the Pres
ident for withdrawing gold from
circulation and lambasted Con-
gress for passing inflationary
measures.
Defending j. P. Morgan and
Co., and private bankers in gen.
eral, Platt assailed the Senate for
it's investigation of New FORK
financial houses.
He attacked Ferdinand Pecora,
special counsel in the inveStiga-
ton, as "a clever and somewhat
notorious prosecuting attorney
from New York who knows moth
ing of economics and whose pur-
pose appeared to be to discredit
all bankers and make things ap-
