ment, but they should Scrupu.
lousy avoid in their political
action as well as in the dis
charge Of their official duty,
offending, by display of OBJ
trusive partiSanship, their neigh
bOrs who have relations with
them as public officials.
"They should also con-
Stantly remember that their
party friends from whom they
have received preferment have
not invested them with the
power of arbitrarily managing
their political affairs. They
have no right as Officeholders
to dictate the political action
within party lines by. methods
and practices which pervert
every useful and juStifiable
purpose of party organization.
High Ideals
"The influence Of Federal
OfficehOlders should not be felt
in the manipulation of political
primary meetings and nominal
ing conventions. The use by
these officials of their positions
to compass their selection as
delegates to political cOnven-
tiOnS is indecent and unfair.
and proper regard for the pro-
prieties and requirements Of
official place will also prevent
their assuming the active con-
duct of political campaigns"
Had the high ideals of Grover
Cleveland been lived up to, it
would not have been necessary
for President Roosevelt to con-
demn certain members of the
Democratic National Committee
for "practicing" before the ex-
ecutive departments in Wash
1ngton. They would not have
tried to make money out of their
committee membership and
they would not have tried, as
some members of the commit
tee are still doing, to remain on
the committee while holding
Federal office.
President Roosevelt may de-
eide that now is a good time to
republish Grover Cleveland's
letter on this live subject and
simultaneously to divorce com
pletely all officeholders under
his Administration from mem
bership on the national COM
mittee or any other committee
of his party. The power of the
Presidents example would have
a cleansing effect not only on
the Federal service but on the
public service in every State in
the Union. It would identify
the Roosevelt leadership with
the American ideals of Grover
Cleveland:

Forehead and cheeks are
lined with the lines Of thought
and care, and age, too. The
nose is a big jutting nose, over
a wide, humorous mouth. And
the chin is like a chin carved
out of granite. The prevailing
characteristic of this whole
countenance is amiability, bene-
violence, tolerance. Everybody
likes Darrow, no matter how
much they may detest some Of
his ideas or performances in
fighting for human beasts. He
is mighty likeable-even low
able. He makes you think Of
an old-time Western cattleman
who has made a success Of life
after a hard time of it, and
who loves the world and every
body in it.
They take in every item Of
his appearance-the old suit Of
gray, the big, broad-brimmed
slouch hat, the low white col
lar and wispy string tie, the un.
polished shoes and all the rest
of an unconsidered garb. They
note that the one-time more
than Six-foot figure is begin
ming to stoop more than a little
at nearly seventy-six; that the
one-time piercing eyes are
growing just a little duler, and
that the voice is a thought
slower. But these things are
physical. Darrow is as young
in the spirit as when he fought
Bill Borah out in Boise. He
clings to old beliefs and clings
tighter than ever.

Human Side of the News

The gaunt and grizzled old
lion of the law courts, that tire
less defender Of lost causes,
Clarence Darrow, seems to be
more or less in the New Deal,
but not precisely of it. AS
chairman of an important board
applying the codes to small busi-
nesses, Mr.. Darrow uttered SEN
timents hardly flattering to
some of the applications of the
new millennium. But that's his
way. It was given to him in
this life to be "agin" almost
everything which savored Of
wealth and power. All his life
he has been a protestant, an OBJ
jector, a lusty-handed hurler Of
the monkey wrench.
America known a no more
picturesque personality, with his
rugged, deep-chiseled counte-
nance, and his great, massive
shoulders. Always, wherever
this stormy petrol of the crimi-
nal law sounds his cry, the
greao, massive shoulders tell the
real story of what is going on.
You can go back to those tense
days out in Boise, Idaho. back
in 1908. when Meyer, Big Bill
Hayward and Pettibone were on
trial for the prankish perform
ance of blowing former Gov.
Frank Stuenberg to bits at his
own garden gate.

Even the shaggy eyebrows play
a part. One must not forget the
shaggy eyebrows, for next to the
shoulders they play a speaking
part. They can be commenda-
tory or condemnatory; benevo-
lent or malevolent; kind or
vicious. They are raised in sweet
friendship and understanding,
or drawn together in bitter hos
tility.
Expressive Map
Believe it, that old, lined,
scanned face. upon which the
storms of fifty violent years
have beaten, is a most express
sive map of the human emotions
at their keenest. He is over
seventy-five, the ancient cham
pion of lost causes, and since
twenty-one he has beaten his
head against walls that men
have raised to protect the truth
or to hide it, whichever you
choose. Once in a while the
head has preached a wall but it
bears its scars.
The hair is growing pretty
thin. It really makes you think
of the name of an old lion. Long
locks get lose from the combing
and fall across the forehead and
over an eye. But gray has hardly
touched it. That's the amazing
thing. It is not gray. or white, it
is still brown. The forehead is
rather low for the forehead of
an intellectual man, but is ex-
tremely broad. Under the shaggy
eyebrows, gray-blue eyes are
very deep set. wide apart. Usually
they twinkle with fun and good
humors but now and then they

Senator Borah was his oppo-
nent. They said then that it
was Clarence Darrow's eloquent
and incredibly insulting shoul-
ders that saved the three mine
working gentlemen from the
gallows. Much, much later,
those shoulders were the target

For so years in the courts Of
the land, the big shoulders
have been lifting and twisting
and struggling as they fought
for the lives of accused men
and speaking a veritable Ian
guage of their own. He doesn't
tramp around or stamp his
feet, or make unnecessary ges-
lures or motions. His feet stay
put. His hands are seldom
lifted. except to scratch his
head or an ear with a fore
finger. He wastes no motion
or effort. His voice is a drawl,
with "ahs" and "ums" spacing
the slowly uttered words, and
only once in half an hour will
his voice take on a cutting
edge or ring with a note of
passion.
He is a technician of distinc-
tion-and why not, after fifty
years of practice? He is prob
ably not conscious of the technic
that never misses a chance to
impress the jury. It is ingrained
by now, ingrained by habit, and
it Is q marvellous thing to watch.

WEATHER RECORDS
By Robert Benchley

Whatever else this year of
grace goes down as in the his
tory books, it certainly has
gone hog-wild on weather
records.
OF course, when you come to
think of it, it isn't so much
OF stunt to break a weather
record. When you really come
to think of it, you might go
crazy trying not to break one,
The wonder is that a rec
ord isn't broken every day.

matter Of fact, one is broken
every day, if you know where
to look.)

is o heat. cold, rain precipita-

like this would lend variety to

Cleveland'S Letter Quoted
AS Guide for Present
By James T. Williams, Jr.

President Roosevelt's Admin
istration has again been embar-
Tassed by the pernicious political
activity alleged against a mem
Der of the Democratic National
Committee. The President has
headed off a congressional in.
vestigation of this matter by
obtaining and ccepting
promptly this committeman's
resignation of an important Fed
eral office.
But the Roosevelt Administra-
ton will not be protected against
other embarrassing episodes Of
the same sort until it emulates
the example of Grover Cleveland
and puts not only the members
of the Democratic National CON-
mstee but all Federal officials
Ola notice that as titular leader
Of his party Mr.. Roosevelt in.
tends to maintain the admin
1strative standards that distin.
guished the presid ncy Of
Grover Cleveland.
One of the reasons why, as
Governor of the State of New
York and as President of the
United States, Mr.. Cleveland ex.
emplified the virtues of a great
American and a true Democrat
is to be found in his high ideals
in regard to public office.
For the spoilsmen in politics,
for all those who abused public
office to betray the public in.
terest, Mr.. Cleveland had the ut
most contempt. That he meant
what he said when he affirmed
that a public office is a pub
lie trust" is clear not only from
his own example but from the
strict accountability to which he
held his appointees.

Under date of July II, 1886,

eminent" a letter that clearly
reveals the quality of his pa
triotiSm and the ideals of his
craftsmanship. On the eve of
o congressional campaign, when
the politicians of his party were
most active, Mr.. Cleveland
seized the opportunity especially
to warn "all subordinates in the
several departments and all
officeholders under the general
Government against the use of
their official position in
attempts to control political
movements in their localities"
In this letter, Mr.. Cleveland
thus defines the obligations that
devolve upon those entrusted
with the authority and response
