DON'T miss The Stars Look Down" by A. j.
~ Cronn little, Brown g. Co. $3.50. 1t is far
and away Dr. Cronins best book to date; it is also
one of the best novels of recent years.
1t is long, bulky and powerful affair. this book,
rough-hewn and bitter-a painstakingly complete
study of the dry rot that upon English society
during the last two or three decades.
1t deals with the people of a north country coal
town; with the greedy mine owner and the patient
drudges who get out the coal; with the ambitious
young who try to rise in the world, with the
idealists who try to make things better, and the
grabbers who make things worse.
1t offers a marveOusly real and sympathetic pic
ture of human beings caught in a system that seems
beyond remedy.
He has given Us book Of vast power and pro-
found human interest. It is long, but it is never
dull; it is imprisoned but always remains pre-
eminently novel. It is very much worth reading.
Z VERYBODY knows all about the American In
IL dian. He lived in tepee, took scaps wore
feather head-dresses and was tall lean, hawk
nosed individual who talked little. never laughed,
and endured pain without whimper
That's the sort of knowledge we all have about

Verrill reveals:
That many Indians never built tepees at all, but
lived in solid, permanent, frame houses.
That majority Of the tribes did not take scalpS

That the average Indian apt to be short.
squat slightly stopped, and rather bandy-legged;
that he extremely loquacious and possessed

enjoy it deeply. by Bruce Cation.

And Such Monkey Business

MIR. FARLEY doubtless will be present, too but
A'A not prize fight commissioner. Mr.. Farley
put such things behind him when he became picture
editor of the nations postage stamps, and of all
his experiences in puglism ne will remember as the
most excruciating faux pas by James J. Johnston
which might have cost Franklin D. Roosevelt the
nomination.
AT time when Mr.. Farley was shopping for
delegates, Mr.. Johnston promoted a big prize fight
in Brooklyn, and Mr.. Tony Cermak from Chi
cago with 80 deserving Democrats
Although Mr.. Cermak owned important dele
cation to the impending Democratic convention, Mr..
Johnston with shocking tactleSsneSs, gave him a
seat in the first row but showed his party of SO de-
serving Democrats back into the Brooklyn outfied.
Mr.. Cermak gave Mr. Farley baleful glare and
walked back to sit with his SO Democrats muttering
a threat to sell his delegation to Al Smith.
Mr.. FarleyS distress was horrible to witness. He
denounced his friend Mr. Johnston and went tear
ing out to the rim of the crowd to plead with Mr..
Cernak to bring his SO Democrats down front, where
special seats would be installed at But Mr..
Cermaks pride was deeply wounded, and he re-
fused to bulge and it may be remembered that
when Mr.. Roosevelt finally nominated Mr.. Ger
max only just barely caught the tailbOard of the
bandwagon and hoped on as it was going around
for the last time.

IT is curious thing possibly of significance that
James A. Farley prepared himself for statesman
ship member of the New York Prize Fight Com
mission and that Mr.. Getz occupies a similar posi-
ton in Illinois. Mr. Getz coal dealer who bears
physical resemblance to John j. PerShng. made one
experiment before he took to the administrative
duties of the complicated and rather pungent pro-
feSsion of pugilism.

liar and with great soemnity one day accepted the

became active patriot as treasurer of the Repub-
lican National Committee

Somewhere on the List

TNHERE is, for instance, the Scottsboro case. Mr..
i Hoover hasn't got around to that yet And there
is the Angelo HerndOn case
Naturally, Herbert Hoover will want to say some
thing about red-baiting sooner later. He will
point out of course, that there is nothing in the
Constitution which says or even suggests, None of
these rights here guaranteed go for anybody if he
can successfully be called red.
The great engineer will hammer hard at the I'M
doubted fact that it not in the mind of the
founding fathers to hound liberals and radicals. In
opening line which Mr. Hoover might use in his
next address. 1t ought TO get him a swell laugh He
might very we'll begin. I used to be liberal once
myself"
The more I think of 1t the more excited get
about the potentialitieS of Herbert HOover's next
speech.
1t Will be a swell speech if he makes it. In fact,
it viii be a swell speech if he doesn't make it.
I understand that there still few details to be
arranged No date has yet been set for Mr. Hoovers
Union Square meeting.

4 Chance for HOOUer

I AM well aware that when Mr. Hoover was Pres-
Il dent of the United States he lacked the power
to interfere with the courts of California AS a
strict consuuctOnist he might even have felt that
any CONNER. on the case by him might be construed
interference. But nothing is holding him back
now
Iodeed, the Supreme Court itself has been sharply
critical Of the procedure of the local courts Accord
Hgly all logic Herbert Hoover crusader for con-
stitutional rights ought to get in the forefront of
the fight to free Tom Mooney. Surely he will not
be content to give tacit approval to the prevailing
attitude in California, which seems to run, We'll,
maybe he isn't guilty, but it's a good idea to keep
him IN jail, anyhow"
ANY such attitude must be fearfUlly repugnant to
Mr. Hoovers deep-seated convictions in favor of due
process of Law.
And it is also in California that most of the vgi-
lante outrages have occurred. Just the other day
two labor leaders tarred and feathered because
they were engaged upon the work of organizations.
That would seem to be a most fragrant violation of
civil rights. but yet I think that Herbert Hoover
has made no comment it. Of course, he may
get around to it time. If he is really going to
through his announced intention of defending the
Constitution he will have ever so many things to talk
about.

NUR public had received from
~ it's own newspapers in the
very first days of the crisis the
basic elements of what was to be
perfected as the Allied thesis of
the war. Americans were now to
be surprised, shocked (and, natur-
ally, pleaseD to discover how
everything that they read as the
war progressed simply confirmed
their first judgment.
What they overlooked was the
source of nearly everything that
they read. No one paid much
attention to the disappearance of
the German side of the story with
the cutting of the cables; no one
stressed the possible influence of
the Allied censorships upon the
color of the news, all of which
now had to pass through these
controls.
BY early autumn an editor of
the Chicago Tribune was even be-
ginning to suspect that the Brit
ish censOrs were not only eIimi-
mating what they did not like
from the continental dispatches,
but interpolating their own ma
terial.
Our public, however, for a long
time thereafter still naively as
sumed that it was the suppression
of only military secrets in which
the war censorships we're inter-
ested.
The British, for their part, early
assigned their ablest and most eff
fective popular writer's to the re-
porting of the war, and American
editors were eager to print the
work of such men as Philip Gibbs,
H. M. Tomlinson or H. w. Nevin-
son.

NN SATURDAY, Aug. IS, Sec
~ rotary Bryan dispatched
note to J. P. Morgan g. Co. "In
the Judgment of this government"
it pointed out, loans by Amer
lean bankers to any foreign ma
ton which is at war are incon-
siStent with the true spirit of
neutrality"
1t was a first, ana very wise, step
toward a positive neutrality policy
and it served to forestall such
loanS-for the time being.
But perhaps even more than
that was needed. BY a coincidence
as unfortunate as it was tragic
the one most commanding leader
of the nation had been Snatched
from public problems at precisely
the most critical moment.
On Aug. 6 Mrs. Woodrow Will
son undoubtedly one of her hus-
bands chief sources of strength
and judgment, died suddenly at
the White House. Just as the
whole outer world was breaking
up before him, the Presidents in
ner world went to pieces in his
hands.
1t is difficult to assess the full
influence of this violent personal
shock upon the history which fol-
lowed.
Some believe that it operated
throughout the whole of the next
year or two to withdraw the
President from contacts he would
otherwise have maintained and
from problems he might otherwise
have met more promptly; for the
ensuing week, at any rate. it dis
tracted him from all save the
most urgent of immediate bust
