Saws Col. Cook on Retirement
Isn't What 1t Used to Be,
He Declares After ~
Years in Service.
Librarian of The Star,
Howeuer, Has Yarn
Spot for Outfit.

-AKE it from an old campaigner
the National Guard inst
What it used to be.
i These are the sentiments OF
Col. C. Fred Cook, librarian of
The Star, who retired Friday after
AZ years service as an officer in the
Districts military units.
There have been lots Of innovations
that probably have made the Guard
more efficient, but today it is only
skeleton of its former self, the colonel
believes.
Col. Cook doesn't make any dispar-
aging remarks about the National
Guard because he has a warm spot
down in his heart for the old outfit.
But he does think something ought to
be done to keep the Guard from dis
integrating.
Soldiered as a Youth.
Interested since childhood-he was
born here June Is, 1872-in things
military. Col Cook began soldering as
side captain" in the Young America
Rifles. He was first lieutenant of
prize company while in high school
cadet corps, and it was with this rec
ommendation he entered the National
Guard June 81. 1892, and became cap
tain of Company B, I'd Battalion.
The Morton Cadets. as his command
was known. gained fame in the Capital
and later became the champion mill
tary company Of the United States" in
interstate competitive drills.
Col. Cook served during the San
tiago campaign in the Spanish Amer
lean War as an officer in the lSt Dis
trict of Columbia Infantry. United
States Volunteers. and was present at
the surrender Of the Spanish forces.
On Newspaper Many Years.
He continued his Guard service
after returning from Cuba, being cap
tain and aide -de-camp to the COM
handing general until July. 1909. when
he was commissioned major and adju-
tant general He retired from the
Guard in 1915 with the advance rank
of lieutenant-c colonel
Deep as his interest was in soldier
ing. it might be called side line"
with the colonel, for he was a news
paper man for many years.
He broke in on the old Evening
News Of which Thomas G.. Alvord,
later librarian of the Library OF Con-
gress, was editor in chief. 1t was on
March l, 1894, that Col. Cook Joined
the staff of The Star and he has been
continuously in the service of this
paper since that time
He covered" practically all the
runs" as a reporter, and in turn
served as assistant city editor. copy

wide open field Of plentiful opportuni-
ties and not nearly as many discourage
ing features as many hopeful authors
fear. In the first place, Mr. Chenery
said, the public demands new names,
new ideas and new styles. In the
second place, the magazines want
something their rivals don't have and
the best source Is the young and
unknown author
Asked what type of fiction young
authors should attempt, Mr.. Chenery
declared it to be question entirely
Of their own ability and preference.
Write the kind you want to write, he
said, but write it differently and with
q fresh viewpoint. 1t is these quail
ties that make sales, he said.

Young Authors to Benefit Most in

America had been won by United
Features Syndicate, we faced a
new problem. That problem was
to sell rights to newspapers.
And here the magazines en-
tered the field again. The maya
zine editors had taken a new
breath after losing out in the
bidding in London. Now they be-
gan to bid in New York.
They came to us with offers
that nearly took our breath
away. 1t would have been an
easy matter to have sold the
rights then and there and to have
stepped out of the picture with
a very handsome profit.
However, the syndicate exists
primarily to serve newspapers. We
had an opportunity to assure
newspapers of the biggest feature
scoop Of our day. The discovery
of the manuscript was news. It's
publication in The Times will be
matter of outstanding news en-
terprise. We decided the discov-
month after the award of rights.
belonged to the newspapers.
First publication will come
Monday, March 5, less than a
onth after the award of rights.
Newspapers are the only medium
which could move rapidly enough
to give the story to the American
public at the same time that it
is being published in London. This
first publication will be simultane-
ously throughout the English
speaking world.
1.-THE original manuscript itself
has not been sold. If ever it is
offered for sale it will doubtless
bring forth astounding bids. What
they may amount to is indicated
by the fact that the great expert,
DR.. A. S. T. Rosenbach, paid $37,-
500 for only five pages of the
original manuscript of 'Pickwick
Papers
However, Lady Dickens con-
Sented to have facsimiles made
of the original manuscript. Pho
tographers in London worked all
OF one day under Lady Dickens
eyes to have these facsimiles made
under glass. These reproductions
will be an interesting part of the
publication in The Times"

and in country SchOolhouSe meet
ingS in every state. This time
our course must not be decided
behind closed doors, either in
Washington or in Wall Street. The
people must be let in on the prob
lem. This time let us open the
doors and debate our future
course throughout the length and
breadth of the land.
We must not only find a new
leadership, but common will to
support a planned and statesman
like purpose. Our old leaders
stand diScredited From the point
of view of international adven-
lures, the record of the interna-
tional bankers has not been i'm
presSive.
From the point of view of carry
ing out nationalist plan, involv-
ing the retirement of some fifty
to one hundred million acres, the
aid and leadership which might
be expected from great interior
cities has ben similarly unin-
spring.
Whether we are prepared at
this time to engagein in a
genuinely scientific nation wide
discussion of the tariff, as it af-
fects agriculture and other ele-
ments in longtime plan for the
whole nation, I have little means
of knowing; but I suspect that the
desperateness of the situation has
done a great deal to make real
lists of us all.
And I have faith that we can
arouse from the ranks of our
democracy, in city and country
alike, a leadership that will ad-
dress itself to fundamentals, and
not simply blow off in the empty
and prejudiced emotional bombast
which has characterized such dis
cussions in the past.
Our thinking on such matters
must rise above immediate and
personal considerations, and above
meaningless local chickering's, or
our future is likely to be a dismal
repetition of our past.

SHOT IN FOOT
BY POLICEMAN

Negro Caught Running
From DRUG Store.

An alleged Negro burglar was
shot in the left foot yesterday by a
merchant policeman after running
out OF drug store operated by
Robert Williams, 1866 North Ala
bama street.
The wounded man, William Jones,
25, of 150l12 East Twenty-flfth
street. was shot by Gus Stringer
Negro, 1852 Ralston avenue, the
merchant policeman, as he was seen
running out Of the drug store
carrying a quantity of cigars and
cigarets. Jones was taken to the
city hospital detention ward and
held on a burglary charge. The
store had been entered by breaking
the glass out of a front window
police said.
The arrest of three Negro youths
yesterday cleared up nine burglaries
of drug stores and groceries during
the last few days, police said. Those
held are Albert Wilson, Is, of 273l
Columbia avenue; Pat Williams, 270z
Columbia avenue, and Gilbert War
rem, II, of 1924 Columbia avenue.
They we're arrested by a police
squad after they were alleged to
have broken into a grocery at 1881

the three youths made a purported
confession to have sold stolen Gig
arets at 5 cents a package.

ing with Russia, they think; or
open up some business in the
orient; or ship out some cotton or
wheat this way or that, then
everything will open up again. I
can not too sharply emphasize my
conviction that internationaliSm
must be even more carefully
planned than a program of eco
nomic nationalism.
THE middle path between econ
u omic internationalism and
nationalism is the path we shall
probably take in the end. We
need not go the whole way on a
program involving an increase of
a billion dollars a year in imports.
There are intermediate points
between internationalism and ma
tionalism, and 1 do not think we
can say just where we are headed
yet. We shall be under increas-
ing difficulties, no matter which
way we tend, as our people be-
come more and more familiar with
the discomforts of the procedure.
My own bias is international.
1t is an Unborn attitude with me.
I have very deeply the feeling
that nations should be naturally
friendly to each other and ex'
press that friendship in interna-
tional trade.
At the same time we must rec
Ognize as realities that the world
at the moment is ablaze with ma
tionalist feeling, and that with
our own tariff impedimentS it is
highly unlikely that we shall move
in an international direction very
fast in the next few years.
Therefore, we must push with
the greatest vigor possible our
retreat from surplus acres, and
seek to arouse the intellectual
stamina necessary to meet and
triumph over unpopular facts.
I propose to outline the drift
of circumstances which put this
nation where it is today Then,
with as little bias as possible, I
shall try to sketch the probable
price-in terms of the actual and
psychological pain of readjuSt-
ment-of following the national,
the international, or a vigorously
planned middle trail out of the
woods.
There is still another TRAIL
mean the back trail, letting things
drift, trusting to luck, plunging on
toward internationalism as sellers
and trying at the same time to
huddle behind nationalist barriers
as buyers.
Even this, probably the most
painful trail of all, is worth men
tioning, for thousands of our
people vociferously yearn to head
that way, and the number Of such
people is likely to increase rather
than diminish, I am afraid, in
the next few years.
NOTHING in words is to be
L Y taken as final. There can be
no final answer to our present diff
ficulties; there hardly can be
even a satisfactory tentative an

We want to go. That question

EDITORS Group
is ADDRESSED
BY O'MAHONEY
No Advice on Inter-P Party
QuarreIS Offered by
u. S. Senator.
BY DANIEL NJ. KIDNEY
Times staff Writer

Proof that the Roosevelt admins
tration will take no part in the
pre-convention campaign for United
States senator in Indiana was being
offered today by political observers
commenting on the visit here of
Senator Joseph c. OMahoney of
Wyoming.
The senator delivered the princi-
pal address at the annual banquet
of the Democratic Editorial Associa-
ton, but offered no advice in pres
ent inter-party quarrelS, advanced
no candidacy even by indirection.
Since Senator OMahoney is one
of the closest men in Washington to
James A. Farley, postmaster-g general
and President RooSevelt's political
mentor, certain groups expected a
word Of advice from him regarding
the Hoosier senatorship.
Peters Looks to Farley
Senator OMahoney was assistant
to Mr.. Farley until appointed to the
senate seat. He now is standing for
reelection.
Backers of R. Earl Peters. TT.
Wayne, for the Senatorship long
have boosted of his friendship with
Mr.. Farley. Some of them have ex-
pected aid from that quarter, but
from Senator OMahoneys visit
here it appeared that it will not be
forthcoming.
Having been beaten in his own
state of New York by taking a hand
in the New York City nayoralty
campaign, Mr.. Farley seems unlikely
to interest himself now in anything
but final election of a Democratic
congress.
Discuss National Administration
Senator O'Mahoney confined HIM
self to discussion of the national
administration, dealing particular
ly with the air mail and postal sub
sidy scandals.
Democrats now are busy clearing
the debris of depression left by
their Republican predecessors, he
said. He asserted that congress is
not an administration rubber
stamp" but united behind the
President because the Democrats
have program and are determined
to carry it out.
President Wray E. Fleming of the
association presided. Other speak
ers included DR.. Carleton B. Nc
Culloch, state Democratic chair
man; Mrs. A. P. Flynn, vice-chair-
man, and Governor Paul v. McNutt.
