Nothing since the adjournment
Of Congress has stirred up SO much
re,l interest in Washington as the
fact that Col. Louis McHenry
Howe, Chief of the White House
secretariat, has so far recovered
from his long illness that he was
able to give an extended interview
m politics at the Naval Hospital
the other day. Col. Howe has been
for more than 20 years MI. Roose-
velt's closest friend and chief po-
1itical mentor. Those who are most
familiar with the Presidents rise
from State Assemblyman to the
White House, give Col. Howe
much credit for the political STRAIT
egy by which those steps were
achieved.
For more than a year Col. Howe
has been so i'll that he had to stay
under an oxygen tent in his bed
at the White House. He was lately
removed to the Naval Hospital
and is still a very sick man, but
he talked about politics the other
day in a way that indicates that
his mind is functioning along po-
litical lines as clearly as ever.

Borah and Teddy

OF almost equal interest was
the exchange of views between
Senator Borah Of Idaho and Col.
Theodore Roosevelt of New York.
Senator Borah suggested that the
main issue of the Republican CAM
paign next year might we'll be
based upon the "Trust Busting"
policy for which President Theo-
dore Roosevelt stood so firmly.
To this, Young Teddy" took
exception. Without questioning the
Importance of the anti-monopoly
issue Of his distinguished father,
he did not agree that it would be
the major issue of the campaign.
He thought the Republicans could
get farther by attacking waste and
extravaganza under the present ad-
ministration.
Senator Borah is, as always, a
bit Of an enigma. Every poll Of
Republican voters that has been
taken On Presidential preferences
continues to show the veteran
statesman from Idaho away in the
lead. Yet there is a very decided
belief in all political quarters that
he will not be the Republican NOM
inee. Whatever he has to say about
the party platform, however, will
have a great deal of influence.
Much the same is true of for
mer President Hoover. Whether
or not Mr.. Hoover desires a re-
nomination, evidence accumulates
that he is setting up a propaganda
machine for the purpose Of spread
ing his own views on issues and
candidates before the people.

TOBACCO STOCKS
BELOW YEAR AGO
Baltimore Supply Of Leaf
Smaller Despite Recent
Gain in Receipts.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special Dispatcn 70 Inc star.
BALTIMORE, July l. Despite
heavy receipts Of leaf tobacco from
Southern Maryland. especially Charles
ard Calvert counties, stocks In State
tobacco warehouses are less than at
the end Of June last year, when there
were 1884 hogsheads in storage,
compared with 1921 hogsheads to-
day.
Receipts have shown a steady in
crease all this month but the peak
Of the season will be reached during
July and August. when by that time
practically all of last years crop will
have been placed In storage. The
hogsheads are first placed in quaran-
tine in the old State tobacco ware
house for IA days and then transferred
to the new building where it Is
weighed, sampled and graded.
The grading, however, is optional
with grower. and. according to Albert
j. Lomax, recently appointed State
tobacco inspector, doesn't mean a
thing as the buyers all do their own
grading"
The Maryland Tobacco Growers
Association, cooperative organiza-
ton, has Offices in the State tobacco
warehouses, and also keep a record OF
all tobacco received, including the
weight, grade and quality of each
hogshead
The warehouse has a capacity OF
$4,000 hogsheads and today is a little
over half filled.
If the owner Of hogshead wishes
to have his tobacco graded. two IL
censed tobacco experts are on call at
the warehouse to serve him. But the
grading is "a lot of boloney," accord
ing to Mr. Lomax.
1T doesn't mean anything" he says.
Its just a silly law passed by the
Legislature"
Tobacco buyers, he pointed out, dc
their own grading on the strength OF
the samples taken from each hogs
head. Buyers are permitted six
months Of free storage in the ware
house, then are charged so cents per
~~@O@AS~A ava q AAO6oAlCdds "llCH IIltN
withdraw tobacco they are charged
an outage" of 50 per barrel to cover
the cost of weighing and sampling.
Maryland planters are permitted tc
store their tobacco in the warehouse
indefinitely, free of charge. Aging
the leaf in a hogshead improves its
quality greatly, explains Mr.. Lomax
who comes from st. Marys County
where he has been raising tobacco for
about so years.
Both receipts and sales of Maryland
leaf tobacco showed decline last week
compared with the previous week, the
former totaling 1,01l hogsheads and
the latter 9l3 hogsheads, leaving a
stock in State tobacco warehouse of
1921 hogSheads.
The market, however. continues &C.
tive for all grades with the exception
OF dark and greenish tobacco. which
Is hard to move. Demand for the
better grades is showing an improve
ment with the best grades of fine Leaf
bringing as high as As cents d pound
