Charles C.. Glover.

Full of years, Charles Carroll Glover
has passed on. He belonged to a gen.
Grafton of Capital builders of whom
few remain now to mourn his DEATH
But one of the finest tributes to
really notable career is that some
of its achievements are better known
than the man himself. They were
familiar landmarks of the new WASH
ington when Charles Glover was still to
enjoy many more years. It must be of
comfort to the loved ones he leaves be-
hind-members of his family and the
small circle of his intimates-to remem-
Der that as the days grew shorter in the
twilight years he had enjoyed that rare
satisfaction known only to the small
company of men who see their work
living on as they themselves approach
the end.
In everything but name Mr. Glover
was native of Washington and his
family roots were sunk deep in the soil
of the Capital. His grandfather came
here from Maryland in the early days,
becoming leading figure in the small,
struggling town SO recently carved out
OF the wilderness. His father was born
in Washington and the young Charles,
though born in North Carolina, was
brought back to his grandfather's home
at the age of four when his father died.
All of his active life was spent in WASH
lngton and though he belonged to the
third generation of pioneering family,
as far as the District is concerned. he
made of himself pioneer.
OF compelling personality always
determined and even austere in his re-
lationships, he enjoyed the prestige of
an aristocratic social background as well
as outstanding success in the banking
business with which he became identified
EARLY in life. His position in the COM
munity and his own natural endowments
gave him power and influence which,
happily for Washington's early develop
ment, were exerted with broad vision of
the future. His efforts, joined with those
of other far-seeing leaders in the WASH
ington community and members of Con-
gress won over to the great work of Cap
ital City building, were identified with
the years of Washington's renaissance
toward the close of the past century and
the early years of the twentieth which
cut the pattern and set the pace for de-
velopment of the great Capital we know
today. AS regards one of its beautiful
embellishments, Bishop Freeman at
tributes to Mr.. Glover more than to
any other man" the property now oc-
cupied by Washington Cathedral, the
building of which became one of the
chief interests of his life. His efforts in
behalf of park development were en-
riched by substantial gifts to the Gov
ernment of park lands.
His active, valuable career, which has
left an indelible mark on the city he
loved. came to close some years before
his death. Death merely brought to a
peaceful end life full of good works.

from other candidates for the presi-
dental nomination and with practically
no encouragement from the leaders Of
the Republican party.
Aspirants for the presidential nomina-
ton who have hoped to build up senti-
ment for themselves quietly. without Of
Tending any of the other candidates, have
been rudely Jared by the tactics of the
Idaho Senator And gradually there is
a growing belief that the presidential
primaries, although they take place in
only 10 of the 48 States, will bring a
showdown of strength as between the
most prominent candidates. Borah's
campaign for contests in the primaries
is bearing fruit. or threatens to bear 1t.
The Republicans have been willing, for
the most part, to null along, hoping for
something to turn up. Many of them
have taken the position that any candi-
date the Republicans put up will be able
to defeat President Roosevelt-on the
theory that Roosevelt and the New Deal
have lost ground heavily in recent
months and will lose more before the
election. This is not a healthy way of
looking at the problem. The Republicans
should pick a candidate who shows
strong as vote getter and ability to
occupy the Office of Chief Executive.
Borah almost certainly will accept the
challenge to go into New Jersey. 1t
would be healthy sign if Gov. Landon,
Col. Knox and other presidential aspir-
ants would accept Borah's challenge to
go into the Ohio primary. But the
jockeying for position in this precon-
vention campaign still continues, with
various aspirants hanging back, hoping
to gain some advantage.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES e. TRACEW ELL.

Such little remark, after all, yelling
out Of grateful heart. Surely, there
was nothing about it to cause suspicion.
If the fellow addressed had not de-
sired to answer, at least he might have
smiled in return, for the same sun shown
upon them both.
But no. he was another of these chaps
you cannot tell about by looking at them
That old background, that fine some
thing absorbed long ago, was not there
He made no answer whatever, no move
Of facial muscles.
He did not even wiggle his ears, as
some can do.
The charitable Interpretation was that
he was deaf. or that for some reason
he simply did not hear, but both would
have been in error.
He was just another of the we'll
dressed roughnecks who drive the girls
wild by poking them in the ribs with
rude elbows, who shoulder women of
street car steps and go in first them
selves.
O. Henry described his type years
ago, when he began one of his stories
with this sentence:
"He was red-headed, and the kind OF
man who always enters door first. u
The color of the hair was not relevant
but the action was.
X X **
You can tell more about a man, girls
by the way he acts than by what he says,
no matter how nicely he says it.
We have heard of very astute Wash
ington girl who introduced her steady
to the family cat.
When the fellow insisted on putting
chewing gum in the cats fur the young
lady never had him back again.
Women can't apply such tests at bus
stops and in the vehicles, but they can
stop letting the very plain fact that there
are great many ill-bred people in the
world worry them too much.
Like all worry, it doesn't do any good,
and in the second place it keeps them
from concentrating on the real gentle
men, who at least know a few things
about how to act in public and private.
Many of these gentlemen are rather
timid and are not always able to tell, in
their turn, the gentlewoman from the
other sort.
This makes them shy away from being
Po4ASSt 40 2aNSll do CAlCy AAi6iit AAhS W
be. No one likes leaping up to give
his seat to the fat woman teetering on
her toes from strap to have her calmly
sink down into it without one word Of
thanks or even a glance.
*
Good advice to all persons, irrespective
of sex. is this:
Realize that not every person is a
model of politeness to begin with. Also
to end with.
He-or She-will not know any better,
so it is futile to expect much.
This attitude will save one mental
stress and strain and will put one some
what in the position of the old gambler
who said, Il always hope for the best
and expect the worst"
Thus. dear madam. if man stands
aside to let you board the bus first, you
will be agreeably surprised.
If he doesn't, it is no more than you
expected from him.
Evening star., 1936-02-26

Are women or men the most impoNte
in public?
This question is posed by very
charming lady who goes forth each
morning to work in big building.
"The men," she says. very positively.
She declares that many men have no
regard whatever for the woman who
must earn her living.
They shove the working girl around,
elbow her of the bus and street car
steps and fail to take of their hats in
the elevator.
She was very indignant about 1t, and
seemed to prove her case Immediately
when male applicant for job in her
institution came into her Office, talked
to her, and finally left, without once
removing his hat or making any motion
to do so.
The truth is that there are a great
many crude, impolite persons in the
world.
And men, when impolite. are Just a
little bit more SO than the average
woman.
The famous line of least resistance
has many angles.
One of these seems to be that many
men are only too willing to forget the
courtesy they were taught long ago by
good mothers.
They take advantage of the equal
rights slogan to assert that IF women
want equal rights, let them stand up in
street cars and not expect to be helped"
X X x
We are afraid that an impolite person
is an impolite person regardless of sex.
One meets them all the time, every
where in all walks of life.
Money or lack of money has very little,
if anything. to do with it.
1t goes back to background.
Now, background is curious thing,
another of these factors one either has
or hasn't.
And the sad part of it. especially from
a woman's standpoint, is that nobody
can tell by looking at another, espe-
cially man. whether he has back
ground or not
Men, as more acquainted with the
brute, have a better chance to size up
men.
Often. alas, they fail miserably.
Let us take an average, decent sort
up" as they used to say, and place
him on a corner at bus stop.
Bus stops, by the way, are unex-
celled observation posts.
There you can see how man acts, or
a woman acts. in simple, undiluted form.
No subterfuge, no pretehse, no moth
ing. as the slang has it.
Everybody stands on his own feet at
a bus stop, and the devil take the
hindmost!
4 X \
Even a man who prides himself on
being able to read human nature-as if
it could be done!-often fails miserably
at this point
Fine day." he remarks, out of graft
tude for the best early morning sunshine
in two months.
He makes this remark to very decent
looking chap standing beside him, also
waiting for the bus.

More Challenges.

The free-for-all scramble for the Re-
publican presidential nomination is de-
veloping new angles almost every day.
Senator Borah of Idaho has been chal-
lenging all corners to meet him in the
presidential preference primaries in Ohio
and Illinois and other States Now
comes former Senator Walter Edge of
New Jersey with an invitation to the
Idaho Senator to enter the preference
primary in that State. In the same
breath, Mr.. Edge suggests that senti-
ment among Republicans in New Jersey
is strongly in favor of Gov. ALT M.
Landon of Kansas for the presidential
nomination.
There seems only one thing for SEN
ator Borah to do-accept the challenge to
enter the New Jersey primary. The Idaho
Senator may make condition for his
entry. He may demand that Gov. Lam
don also enter the New Jersey contest for
delegates to the Republican National
Convention. 1t seems that he would be
entirely justified in making such a con-
dition.
Senator Borah from the outset has in
sisted that the people be given chance
to express their preference for the presi-
Dental nominee of the Republican party
this year. He has attacked in season and
out the practice of sending delegations
to the national conventions instructed
for "favorite son" candidates or unin-
structed. He insists that delegations
should be instructed, and that they
should be instructed for candidates de-
sired by the people and candidates who
might have a chance of being nominated
by the national convention. He has
fought on with little encouragement

the director of traffic all agree that the
change is in the public interest.
Alert citizens are fearful lest elimina-
ton of the consent privilege will deprive
them of the representation in coming
matters that such privilege now confers.
They are rightfully jealous of the small
amount Of power they hold as property
owners. The city planners, however, and
others interested in coming regulation
argue that instead of working to the dis
advantage of property owners, the new
amendments would increase the protec-
ton of property through more effective
coming control. Under the amendments,
the consent privilege could not be used
by few citizens financially interested,
to take coming regulation out Of the
hands of the commission. Unless an
affirmative showing were made as to the
public interest involved, no exceptions to
"use' provisions would be made. Under
any conditions, the Zoning Commission
would remain in possession of its discre-
tionary powers.
The question is important enough for
thorough discussion in open hearing, as
planned. Depriving the citizens of con-
sent in the use of property is to be
abandoned only by demonstration that
the abuse of such consent privileges is
dangerous and is not to be prevented by
any other device. Would it not be pos
sible, for instance, to retain the consent
provisions, but at the same time give the
Commissioners and other agencies the
veto power over changes which. they
argue, they should possess?

Europe's Peace i'm Danger.

AL Lne same moment BRUSH Foreign
Secretary Eden is disclosing that today's
European problems are "dreadfully sim
liar in character and portent to those
before 1914" come circumstantial indi-
cations of a regrouping of powers that
can hardly have any other contingency
in view than that of another general war.
Under joint auspices of Mussolini and
Hitler discussions are in progress looking
to an alliance linking Italy, Germany,
Poland, Austria and Hungary. The
combination would counterbalance the
Franco-Soviet pact. Should both group
ings come into existence, Europe would
again be divided into balances of power,
the creation of which was one of the
fundamental factors that produced the
World War.
The quintuple alliance report reaches
public notice on the eve of renewed dis
cussion of League oil sanctions against
Italy. 1t is mainly because Mussolini re-
sents Frances failure to support him
adequately at Geneva that he seems
prepared to cast his lot with Germany
and to denounce the Locarno pact, as
well as the Italo-French accord reached
in January, 1885, Official Rome denials
of the new alignment are Forthcoming,
but this may mean only that final agree
ments have not yet been reached. Con-
ceivably, the whole scheme may be an
eleventh-hour maneuver to avert more
drastic sanctions.
An arrangement leaguing Italy, Ger
many, Poland, Austria and Hungary
would confront rival union of France,
the Soviet and the Little Entente states
of Czechoslovakia, Rumania and Yugo-
slavia. That would turn Europe into
mutually menacing armed camps. For
eign Secretary Eden warns there is only
slender chance of preventing catas-
tropllic clash unless Britain plays her
part to the full" He is vague as to
what that role will be. The British will
have no lot or part in encirclement," by
which is apparently meant that they
will abstain from any compact designed
to hedge in Germany, France or any
other countries. But John Bull. under
the circumstances, must remain strong
and rearm."
Meantime Britain emissions as the only
possibility of averting a repetition of
1914-18 system of collective security,
embracing all nations and strong enougl,
to deter any would-be aggressor In
presence of fast-moving events no time
is to be lost in efforts to attain such a
goal. Powers large and small are arming
to the teeth. The "have-not" states
those craving larger places in the terri
torlal sun-reveal rising inclination to
make common cause against the have"
nations. Japan is bracketed with Italy
and Germany as among the countries
ready to strike for advantages of which
they now claim to be unfairly deprived.
Anticipating failure of the four-poWer
naval conference, because of barriers
raised by France and Italy, Great Britain
is reported to be proposing an Anglo
German American naval agreement.
Amid the explosive atmosphere now
prevalent in enbattled and embittered
Europe, public opinion in the United
States will be less enamored than ever
OF commitments involving the slightest
risk of entangling this country in the
seemingly endless intrigues and picker-
ings of Old World powers.
