BRAIN TRUST
IDEA ANCIENT,
SLIFER INSISTS
Jefferson Fathered 1t in
U. S.; King Tut Era Knew
It, Professor Writes.

That the brain trust" idea in
government is as ancient as King
Tut and scholar-politicians always
have made the best statesmen. is
the contention Of Professor Walter
L. Slifer of Butler universitys his
tory and political science depart
ment.
Professor Slfer has developed
this theme in the current number
of the Butler alumni quarterly,
university publication.
Thomas Jefferson is credited with
introducing the brain trust" idea
into American political life and
giving it a true Democratic party
basis.
Both George Washington and
Andrew Jackson suffered from lack
Of scholarship. according to the
professors contention.
Scores Indifferent Scholars
Scholars who SCOT at politicians
and refuse to take their part in pub
lie affairs are roundly scored by
professor SllIer.
unfortunately, a few scholars
have. engaged in snarling criticism
Of politicians as a diversion" he as
serts. Their cynical wit often re-
fleets an attitude Of playful and
hypocritical self-righteousness which
in reality. may be nothing more
than just plain ignorance.
The assumed air of omniscience,
when studied. turns out TO be mere
pharisaism. This poking fun at
politicians reveals a chasm between
the world in fact and the world of
the scholar"
Political Scholars Listed
Reviewing history, Professor
Slifer lists among the great whose
scholarship was put TO practical
use in politics:
Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Leibnitz,
Locke, Mill, Herodotus, NIommsen,
Bryce, Bancroft, Theodore Roose-
welt, Wilson, Chaucer, Milton,
Carlyle, H G. Wells, Francis Bacon,
Thomas More, Cicero. Gladstone,
Disrael, Balfour, Machiavelli, Ma
poleon, Bismarck, Cavour and JEFF
ferSon.
1T is we'll known that George
Washington was not a well-trained
or learned man." Professor Slifer
continues. This circumstance
handicapped him and he tried to
hide the fact. Throughout life, he
regretted having so little knowledge
of literature and language.
The outstanding statesman of
early American national history
who possessed trained intellectual
powers was Thomas Jefferson.
Jefferson Great Scholar
Jefferson was born and reared in
q cultural and intellectual atmos-
phere. He knew both music and
architecture. He was learned in po-
htical economy and carried on a
wide correspondence with scholars
in that field in America and Eu-
rope, especially France"
In conclusion, Professor Slifer
says:
1T seems to be clear that in both
America and world traditions there
is enough of the brain trust idea in
politics that well-informed politi-
clans and business men need not be
shocked at bringing some much
needed intelligence in our govern
ment, both state and national"

STOCK LIST STEADY
AT WEEKS CLOSE
SpeciaIties Again Furnish
Most of Activity as 0th-
erS Beat Time.
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, November 10.-Spe-
clalties again furnished most of the
activity in today's brief session of the
stock market. The So-called pivotal
leaders followed an exceptionally mar
row trail. The news was fairly good
and optimists were in the majority.
The turnover approximated 65O,0O0
shares, the largest for Saturday since
last July. The close was steady.
Grains at midday were somewhat
firmer. but corn failed to display any
unusual strength on the Governments
lower crop estimates. Cotton showed
moderate improvement along with
some other commodities. Bonds were
inclined to hold to restricted groove,
although some support came into the
United States Government list.
Foreign exchanges were a bit dull
as the excitement over the fall of the
French Doumergue cabinet and the
appointment of the Flandin ministry
died down. Sterling eased and a few
of the gold currencies were slightly
in arrears.
New highs for the year, with ad-
vances of fractions to around points,
we're recorded by shares of Eastman
Kodak, Liggett & Myers B, American
Machine & Foundry, Peoples Drug,
Coca Cola, Air Reduction and Cater
pillar Tractor.
Scattered profit taking shaded some
of the extreme gains and there was
considerable churning in restricted
range in the late dealings. Gamers of
fractions to around a point or more
included United States Smelling. Ger
ro de Pasco. Douglas Aircraft, Wright
Aeronautical, United States Gypsum,
Vulcan Detinning, California Packing.
Wilson & Co. and Baldwin Locomotive.
The preferred issue of Baldwin Loco
motive gained points.
The rails were virtually unchanged
to slightly lower, as were United States
Steel, American Telephone, Console
dated Gas, Western Union, Westing-
house, Sears-Roebuck, Johns Manville,
Jersey, National Distillers, American
Can. General Motors, Chrysler and
Briggs Manufacturing.
Various bullishly inclined brokers, in
SubStantiation of their views that an
upward movement in equities has be-
gun, reported that some of the put
andcall' dealers were offering puts"
on leading stocks for 80 days at the
market.
Word that the Pennsylvania Rail-
road had placed orders for 81 stream
lined electric engines costing around
SIS 100000 brought some buying into
the equipment company shares.

over THE HILL"

CORSE PAXTON, matinee idol of a genera
~ ton ago, used TO make thousands whoop
when he played a lead role in the melodrama
Over the Hill to the Poorhouse." The real
story of his death the other day would make
more thousands weep if such little tragedies
were not commonplace in every city in the
United States. The once wealthy and pop
ular actor died at 81 in the charity ward OF
Brooklyn hospital.
Congress can, with little expense, write
happier endings to the life dramas of 100000
or so aged poor of this rich country. The
poorhouse way has been abandoned N theory
by twenty-seven states and two territories. BY
passing the Dil-Connery bill granting federal
aid 10 old age pension states, congress would
encourage all Of the forty-eight states to offer
small but honorable annuities to the poos who
have passed the age OF IS. For the first year
or so this federal aid would cost no more than
sloOO00oO annually. and never would it cost
more than the price Of . battleship

DICKENS DEBUT

can Editorial The New York Tines
OUR neighbor, the World-Telegran, is for
~ tunate in having the opportunity to give
10 the public the latest work from the pen
OF a highly gifted writer named Charles
Dickens That he is destined to enjoy long
period Of fame may be argued from the fact
that he has already done so for very nearly a
century.
Charles Dickens first published piece APP

until August, 1884 II was called "A Dinner
at Poplar Walk" but readers of the collected
BOZ know it under the title Mr. Minis and
His Cousin" The author was 2l when he
wrote it.
Critics presumably will wait until the
sterilization OF The Life of Our Lord" is
completed before deciding whether it adds to
or subtracts from the reputation OF Dickens.
The change IN either case can not be very
noticeable. That reputation is so gigantic that
a little more or little less can make no per-
ceptiple difference.

The second reason is even more pertinent
for newspaper men. Dickens began his career
as a reporter. He worked in the press gal

twenty-third year. until he set to. work on
"Pickwick." He was one Of the best parlia-
mentary reporters of his day, with an extraor-
binary reputation for accuracy. He told the
New York editors in one Of his farewell
speeches:
