AS this is written the Pennsylvania Railroad
reports that for July its net railway operating
income has increased 566 per cent over the same
month of 1885 This was one OF the ROADS thaC
protested most loudly against the New Deals
insistence that the railroads cut passenger
fares to two cents a mile. The protest, and the
result are typical Of that state OF NINA that
calls the New Deal un-American
The American way the way of the frontier,

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-The un-
predictable Gene Fowler never fails
to have his go-native twirl at Fire
Island. There in a primitive snack
ne spends weeks of solitude. Away
from people, telephone, typewriter
Only his wife and children are with
him. He is utterly paternal. Takes
whole days to arrange games for
them.
Upon arriving at Fire Island he
dons shorts and, so habited, Rob
inson Crusoes his niche of the is
land. It may be that in this clolster
ne thinks up many pranks and those
privately circulated and pucKlsh
poems that crack the blaseosity OF
his adopted Hollywood.
Fowler. an innocent-eyed world
ling. is spangled with more Legends
than any ournalist of his time. Like
so many other crack writer's, he had
his editorial genesis in Denver. The
Denver of Ford Frick and Damron
Runyon. More than most scribes,
Fowler changes his pace.
One year he may author a novel
or biography. The next punch the
clock in a cinema studio and next
occupy an executive chair in a news
room. Whatever his job, he per-
forms it with gusto and manages
to leave along the trail salty remin-
iscences for the yarn spinners.

Irwin Cobb, who treked to Holly
wood by way of experiment, seems
definitely lost to the New York to
which he came so wide-eyed out OF
Paducah to win fame as an author,
humorist and after-dinner speaker.
His cooperative apartment and
home at Easthampton are on the
market. His dip into the movies
netted him a long time contract and
his daughter Buff has also moved
TO the west coast to perform seem
ario chores. Mrs. Cobb's improved
health in the California sunshine
is also contributing factor in the
permanent choice.

 A really eligible bachelor has to be wealthy, and John probably can qualify on that score, too, all though his exact financial status is just matter for conjecture. He lost heavily in the depression, and various lawsuits have kept him in- volved, but he has kept on making pictures, drawing a stars salary and he has that yacht and hilltop house. If legal troubles have hit him now, he can still act and make more money while his health lasts.
 And John himself said recently.

 To capture that elusive percentage requires close organization down in the precincts, rather than oratory. Rather than frenzied shouting be- forehand, it requires definite as- surance that favorable vote can be brought to the polls. The public ballyhoo my be more exciting, but no competent political manager will let it divert his attention from the more serious work down in the un- derground tunnel5.
 In 1886, especially, this serious business will be u:ldcrtal- n with in- creasing intensity as election day hears. For in an unusually large number of states both sides expect privately that the result will be closer than usual; the submerged percentage of indifferent voters might provide just the margins which would tip, the scales.
