Venetian Life

On returning from Venice,
where he had been consul for four
years, William Dean Howells met
a Boston publisher, with whom he
frequently played Switchboard or
strolled the liners decks.
One day Howells remarked that
he was bringing over a manu-
script on Venetian life.
Jokingly the publisher remarked
that his firm would bring it out.
Without a moments hesitation the
manuscript was turned over to
him. 1t was published in 1866
under the title of Venetian Life"
It may well be said that this
was the start of Howells' success
full literary career.

"O'Mara," said Rod. "The lawyer

Rodney, attending, tried to keep his
mind on what she said; but his feel.

far from him was his hour Of false con-

He knew now that madly he had
imagined that perhaps -perhaps-it
had been some relic of memory Of what
he had done and said to her before he
had gone away, which had interposed
itself between her and Jud's completer
possession of her.
But 1t was not that; 1t was some.
thing which had to do with that lawyer
whom Jud had damned aloud-O'Mara.

G-MEN WIDEN
GANG HUNT

With identity Of the members
Of a new robbery gang which has
been working here known, police
and Department of Justice agents
were searching for them in half
a dozen States along the Atlantic
Seaboard.
Meanwhile, detectives appeared
before the Grand Jury here yes
terday and asked indictment of
the gang for robberieS staged
here in the past few weeks.
The leader of the gang, who
always appears in natty riding
clothes and boots while his COM
panions are poorly dressed, is a
relative of a gunman slain by
police here about a year ago, it
was disclosed.
Victims have identified pictures
Of the other two members of the
gang, and their capture is believed
to be only a matter of time.
The Federal Government en-
tered the case because the gang
sterS kidnapped sentry at Fort
Myer, Va, robbed him of his
automatic pistol and ammunition
and threw him out of the car
near Chain Bridge.
The gangSterS used the heavy
Government issue .45-caliber pistol
in several of the holdups they
staged here. They are reported
to have fled from here to North
Carolina, then doubled back and
are now believed to be hiding in
New York or New Jersey.

ance of the Presidents person
atty. Al natural born speaker, he
has the rare faculty of establish
ing a personal relationship be-
tween himself and the voters. AS
many point out, no one in the po-
itical history of the last century
has had so great grip on the
emotions of millions of American
The important question to be
answered now is, What direction
will future Roosevelt policies
take? And here again there is a
wide difference of opinion, even
in the Presidents own camp. Sup
ported as he is by amazingly
varied groups, no one but the
Chief Executive himself can an
swer that question. Thus, one
New Deal group is of the opinion
that the President is likely to take
a conservative course, now that
business has recovered much of
the ground lost during depression,
and will refrain from new expert
ments. This is a small group.
Another group feels that the
President will swing sharply to
the left, and go whole hog along
the path of a socialist or collec-
twist or fascist program. This
too is small.
The largest group, and the one
which seems best informed and
closest to the White House, feels
that the second Roosevelt Ad-
ministration will follow a middle
of-the-road course-that the Presi-
dent will attempt the difficult job
of holding the balance between
radicalism on the one hand and
reaction on the other. In other
words, they feel that he will try
to maintain government-reg-
ulated capitalism-and at the
same time keep the left-wingers
as contented as possible.
AT this writing, the President
himself has given but one indica-
ton of future policy, that was
his statement that the budget will
soon be balanced-a step which,
if achieved, will naturally be re-
garded as conservative, and will
be lauded by industry. He seems
to feel that better conditions
make it possible to reduce gov
eminent relief spending by a con-
siderable amount. This saving.
plus the increase in tax income
that results from improved in
dustrial earnings and higher
taxes, may do away with Federal
deficits.

Today's Horoscope

Today bestows a highly emo

become somewhat avaricious and
cunning, quick to perceive any
thing that will accrue to it's own
advantage, but rather slow to
adapt itself to social habits of
life. Seek to avoid selfishness
and contention, so that friends
may not be alienated.

such mammoth proportions as to
leave no room for his opponents
to be bitter or his critics to cavil.
1t is so overwhelming that alibis,
analyses and explanations seem
foolish. The only thing to do is
cheerfully accept the result, with
wonder that it was possible to be
so blind before the election to the
irresistible nature of the combina-
ton of sentiment and forces be-
hind him."
So wrote Frank Kent, one of
the most fortnight of Roosevelt
critics. This view is generally
held by the professional publicists
who supported Landon. Those
who supported the President say
with justice that they anticipated
the result, that it was inevitable
though most of them were sur
prised by the extent of the vic
tory.
For the sake of the record,
here is how the great battle of
1886 came out: The President
carried 46 states, for a total of
523 electoral votes. Governor
LandOn carried 2 states, with 8
electoral votes. The popular vote
gave the President a majority of
! about 10000, O0O-26, 100000 to
|. 100000 for his opponent. 1t
was the most decisive electoral
college victory since the two
party system became we'll estab-
lished.
So far so good. But when it
comes to guessing why Mr.. Roose-
welt achieved the unprecedented,
there is considerable difference OF
opinion, especially in the Republi-
can camp. Thus, Walter Lipp-
man, who supported Roosevelt in
1882 but turned to Landon in the
last campaign, ha.a written that
the campaign was more or less
normal-that it simply proved the
truth of the old adage that an in
cumbent is unbeatable in a period
of industrial Improvement. Mr.
Lippman also says that if the
solid south-which no Republican
can hope to carry under any cir
cumstance-is eliminated from
consideration. such Republican
candidates as Harding, Coolidge
and Hoover, won just as handily.
On the other hand. famed Will
liam Allen White, one of Ian
don's closest advisors, sees the
election very differently. He be
lieves that sit was not just al
election which the country ha.
just undergone, but a politica

sive bloc in the Senate under the
Administrations of Harding, Cool
idge and Hoover. The waters o.
the New Deal cover the earth. Re
publicans did not heed the warn
ings. ="
Generally speaking, this view i
widely held. In addition, prac
tically all commentators agre,
that the Republican campaign wa
inept and badly handled, that thu
party organization was about a
bad as it could be, and that Lam
