Rough and Tumble Word
Maulers

There's nothing more hui
man than calling names when
you're good and mad. Emotions
are contagious and ideas are
not. Emotion words travel far
ther tnan idea words, and hit
harder. Politicians know this
and make use of invective
where they are only pretending
to be mad. The result is the
same, whether it is a real or
simulated fury. The expert
name-caller will go far in poll
tics.
Percy L. Gassaway, the "Cow-
boy Congressman" of Oklahoma,
is a newcomer at washington
who can make an epithet crack
like a bull whip. Visiting New
York he takes a few exhibition
pot shots at Huey Long to be
sure, and just enough to show
that the salt of early American
political discussion hasn't lost
it's SAVIOR. New York was edited
thereby revealing that big-town
people are still old-time Ameri-
cans, for there is nothing more
automatically American than
slam bang word-milling under
livery stable rules and no pull
Ing of punches.
SULPHUROUS BLASTS
Deplorable taste, of course,
but figure it any way you want
to, the rough and tumble word
mauler always gets the decision
over any erudite and elegant
contender. That's why swamp
orators sometime become dan
gerouS demagogues. The psy-
chology of it seems simple.
These rampant and released
statesmen often are saying what
a whole army of tanned, mani.
cured, barbered and perhaps
hen-pecked citizens would like
to say.

IS A He spelled it
all out in full although, of
course, it wouldn't do to print
the full line in this family
newspaper.
Old man Payne, trembling
with excitement, as he always
did when the paper came out,
put on his spectacles and read
the seven-column blast back
ward and forward lovingly, with
mounting ecstasy in his face.
my gracious!" he cackled,
"that man Cupfer is a powerful
writer" A lot of politicians get
writing and speaking kudos just
like that. Much of the current
bellies lettreS of Long, Tai
madge, Gassaway, ct al, boil
down to just about the above
literary content. But it gets
across.
Mark Twain tells the whole
story in his Journalism in Ten
nessee." Taking the job, he was
ordered by the editor to write
a condemnatory editorial about
a rival publisher. He turned out
something about I'VE are COM

substitute piece which the edi-

some skunk getting himself a
pair of kick-proof pants if he
ever comes around this dig-out"
is a classic and thoroughly au-
thentic example of indigenous
American journalism.
Many of the rough takers
take it out in words, but not
all of them. There was w. j.
Brann, editor of the ferocious
"Iconoclast" of Waco, Tex.
Brann was cunning for graft
and hypocrisy, with both his
pen and his Six-Shooter.
His technique was to walk

) interrupt the speaker and in
form him calmly that he was
a liar and crook. He always
got attention, for he packed a
couple of six-shooters and in
vited anyone interested to shoot
it out, if they were in disagree
ment. They never did. But one
day he was asSassinated in the
street, after blasting a whole lot
of skulduggery out Of the town.
ZINC AND STING
Old Henry Watterson could
make opprobrious words sit up
and bark as could our own Joe
Howard, of New York. Arthur
McEwen, of San Francisco, used
to put as much zing and sting
into a phrase as any man of his
day. Every once in a while he
would knock off from his regu-
ular newspaper job for one of
the big papers and set up little
machine gun nest of his own, in
the form of street corner
sheet assailing the associated
villainies' of his town. Sales
would leap to 10000, or 10000
a day at ten cents a copy. After
a few months of this he would
go back to his routine work.
Ambrose Bierce, also of San
Francisco, was beyond doubt the
king of all the inflammatory
word incendiarists. He could put
more poison in a short para
graph than any other living
scribe. Senator Glass, in his
earlier fighting days, used to
back up his words with a gun, if
occasion demanded. There were
quite a few men in those days
who had the courage of their
invectives.
One wonders if the Battle of
Sands Point will not historically
mark the preponderance of mere
words over actual physical COM
bat in these still acrid disputes.

baby. SOUNDS like the maKlngS
of a model home, doesn't it? But
wait.
Like most modern girls, Ethel
worked before she was married.
She was the exceptionally ef-
ficient private secretary to a big
corporation man. Learned how
to tackle any job sanely, vigor-
ouSly with the minimum Of
waste motion. Then she married
Horace, rising young doctor,
and proceeded to tackle house
work in a three-room modern
apartment, as she had tackled
office work.
HouseWork had been a full
sized job for Ethel's mother and
grandmother with their seven
and eight room homes, their
linen closets, wash and store
room, huge pantries and shelves
of preserves.
But men had taken the punch
and the pride out of housekeep-
ing for Ethel by commercializ-
ing its departments. Men made
her bread, Sewed and washed
her clothes, did her canning.
EMPTY DAYS
There had been a kick to
running the office. It had
taken all of Ethel's gumption
and wit. There was little kick,
outside of a sentimental one, in
running a house. 1t left her
reserves untouched. It left her
with an almost empty day and a
quite empty imagination.
Then the baby came. Babies
are a big job to young women
with vague ideas, disorderly
methods, undisciplined tempera-
ments. But Ethel wasn't that
kind of young lady. She was
a trained worker as more and
more of our young women are
coming to be.
She ran that baby on a Sched-

One reason why a mans love
for his motor car or his golf
seems to be more lasting than
his love for a woman is prob
ably because he can love them
whenever he happens to be in
the mood, and forget them
when he isn't.

Those Of rural background,
and that means most of us,
even in New York, remember
how the boss editor in a town
was the chap who most
effectively could burn up his
rival in daily sulphurous blasts.
There was vigorous, native
virtuosity in these mainly
Democratic and Republican
encounters and while nobody
can defend Billingsgate, the
air seemed freer after these
thunderstorms. At any rate,
we used to get it off our chest.
I always liked the story of
old man Cupfer and old man
Payne, out in Fresno, Cal.,.
many years ago. Mr.. Cupfer,
a bent, wheezy, white-bearded
octogenarian, ran a little
weekly paper, which he kicked
out on a washington hand
press, and hiked around the
town in a basket. He was a
master Of soaring red-hot in
vective. AS his paper did not
go through the mails, he en-
joyed a wide latitude in pic
turesque denunciation Of any
one he didn't like. He made
the most of it,
Mr.. Payne, also venerable
and white-bearded, was Mr..
Cupfer's Boswell. He regarded
the editor as the greatest
literary genius in all the history
of America. He clipped pretty
nearly all the paper and stuffed
his pockets with Mr.. Cupfer's
gems of prose. Chester Rowell,
brilliant and liberal owner of
the Fresno Republican, in
Cured the extreme displeasure
of Mr.. Cupfer.
So Mr.. Cupfer fixes up some
thing special for Mr.. Rowell.

DAILY RACING
The hill resorts draw their
crowds. Ferny creek, Sherbrooke

dells and forests of giant euca-
lyptus, are but an hour by train
from Melbourne. A short ride
from the city brings one to War
randyte where the upper
reaches of the Yarra are banked
with golden acaciaS. DoncaSter

A visit to the track is part
of the trip to Melbourne, es.
pecially in November when the
Victoria Racing Clubs cup race
meeting is held at Pennington.
But every day there is racing
at some track or another.
Racing and surf riding seem
to be the two most popular holi-

gatta at Henley-on-T Thames in
England has been copied and

Melbourne

Melbourne
SURELY one of the most en-
terprising and beautiful of all
cities is Melbourne, described
as the garden city of a garden
state. And for once, descrip-
ton really underestimate.
It is a new city, this Mel
bourne, capital of Victoria in
Australia. Less than 100 years
old, it is the seventh city of the
British empire. It is,/a city of
wide streets, lovely gardens,
beautiful buildings and a people
whose pep and Unborn desire to
forge ahead are much like our
own. One has only to stroll
along Collins Street and Bourke
Street and the streets which
connect these two main thor
oughfares to see the enterprise
that is part of Melbourne.
The architecture is stately and
imposing. Most of the buildings
were designed and built to be
landmarks. A grand view of
the city can be obtained from
the observation platform of the
tower of the main fire station.
There is a panorama Of the
city right to the glittering
waters of Port Phillip Bay and
the blue slopes of the Dande-
znong ranges.

And, in West Virginia, they
don't like the idea of two men
