SIMEON D. TESS

Death of Simeon D. Fess, former Chairman of the Republican National Committee, Congressman and Senator, takes from the national American picture forceful figure and another of those hardy men who pull themselves up by their bootstraps and stay on top in face of all odds.
 Fighting an uphill battle from penniess child hood Fess became first noted educator and then a commanding figure in the councils of the National Republican party. The story of his progress from small Ohio farm to the spotlight of American public life would have made plot for the story books of Oliver Optic Horatio Alger
 Ohio electors heaped honors upon Fess after he embarked on a political career. He was five times chosen Representative in the National Congress from the sixth Ohio district and then the state at large

started sending him to the United States Senate His value to the National Republican party was recognized when he made Chairman of its Nation al Committee early in the Hoover administration At the same time he Republican whip in the Senate.
 Fess was born in a little farm home in Allen County Ohio, December Il, 1861. Four years later his father died leaving virtually penniless family. The household was poor that Simeon, even as a boy had to struggle for country schooling.
 Battling against odds at all times, he won his way to Ohio Northern University at Ada, o. He worked his way there graduated with honors in 18S9 The fact that he was 27 years old before he finished college testified to the bitterness of his struggle.
 Inured to his lot by this time and wishing to be teacher continued his studies In 1891 he earned masters degree. Later he given LIB. and LID. degrees Thus fortified enthusiastically, Fess went to the University of Chicago a student lecturer.
 He returned to his Alma Mater as Vice-President and few years later in 1907 reached the height of his educational career by being elected President of Antioch College at Yellow Springs O., school noted for it's system of combining class work with prac-
 cal application of studies in shops mills and stores
 After six years at Antioch, Fess felt the urge for a public career He had taken part in the Ohio con- stitutional convention when, in 1913, he ran for Congress and elected to his first term in the na tonal house He continued there until his election to the Senate in 1922
 In the national house he served for seven years as a member of the committee on insular affairs He was named by President Wilson on the committee which created the federal board for vocational educa- ton He was author of the act providing vocational training for ex-service men, chairman of the commit tee which gave impetus to organization of the vet erans' bureau and drew up the American Legion bill providing training for not disabled He also was author of the act rehabilitation of industrial crip- ples He was a pioneer in the movement for using the budget system government appropriations.
 In the senate Fess attracted national attention as author of an amendment to the federal reserve act whereby the gold standard preserved. His chief committee assignment foreign affairs, where he served throughout the world war.
 Defeat came to Fess, outspoken critic of the Roosevelt New Deal when he sought his third term in 1854 Vic Donahey coming out of political retire ment after three terms Governor of Ohio, won three cornered Democratic primary race and swept on to take Fess' chair in the Senate
 Fess blamed his defeat on the Agricultural Ad- iustment Administration and the Home Owners Loan sections of the New Deal" He accused the first of influencing the farm vote through bene fit payments the second of winning small home owners votes through it's mortgage activities. He was particularly bitter toward the AAA

Velvet-Lined Bathtubs
Seattle Daily Journal of Commerce

Seattle Daily Journal of Commerce.
 If there is anything more sorely needed in this country just now than vevet-lined bathtubs, some of. our Broadway dancers are not aware of it. re- cent photo published in newspapers in most sections of the country, shows a proud-appearing number stepping into her specially designed tuba tub lined with the most expensive mohair velvet The cut caption explains that the tub represents the latest idea in equipment of apartments whose managers cater to those approaching the best.
 You may possibly have heard of fur-lmed shaving mugs as things that may be dispensed with when times are hard but the velvet-lned bathtub is no such luxury. It meets real need. We can imagine the -knobbers of the South the mountaineers of the Smokies and the Blue Ridge mountains placing heavy orders for such necessities.
 We wouldn't be at all surprised if the haf-stripped dancer depicted stepping into her vevet-lined tub, took most of her Saturday night baths, previous to reaching maturity in wash-tub near the kitchen range Many people have taken their baths in that manner and still have done more for the world than Broadway dancers

Strange Will
These are the women, living In
widely different parts of Toronto,
who 10 years ago had never heard
Of one another. Had it not been
for the bachelor Millar and his
penchant for ironic humor, which
has embarrassed conservative resi-
dents of this city no end, they
might still have been ignorant of
one another'S existence. And, too,
it is quite possible they might not
now have so many children in
their families, although each of
the mothers declares emphatically
she would have had just as many
children in the last 10 years, even
II there had been no glittering pot
OF gold at the end of the maternity
marathon rainbow.
In fact, few years ago en-
barrassed and disgruntled Toronto
conservatives, abaShed by the
startling storm of publicity Gre
ated by the Millar will, made
every effort in their power to
make that pot of gold as mythical
as the one at the end of the pro-
verbal rainbow. They even went
so far as to introduce a bill in
Parliament declaring the will to
be against public policy" and |
seeking to have the estate turned
over to the Province of Ontario.
Such an unprecedented storm
Of public protest followed, how
ever, that Col. W. H. Price, then
attorney general, who had au-
thored the bill, finally withdrew
it.

Hanging in Public.
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Cincinnati Enquirer)
 Those who have forgotten all their history save a few vivid impressions probably remember only one scene from the French Revolution-the execution of carloads of men and at the guiotne before a vast, cheering crowd. That not the most import ant phase of the French Revouon but it is the feature which has been etched on the memories of men. The guillotne symbozes for most of the savagery of that revolution, in contrast to its great significance in the long story of human progress
 Public hangings have similar place in American life. Why it ever thought desirable to take the lives of offenders against the law in view of the public, it is difficult to imagine. But court trials were substi- ute for theater in frontier civilizations. And public hangings, presumably, infrequent but heady substitute for the gentler entertainments lacking in the primitive societies of century and more ago.
 In any event, there is reason in tradition or logic why the worst instincts of should be deliberately fosered by public policy of hanging in public. The revolting spectacle at Owensboro the hanging of Rainey Bethea. It the crowd which found in hanging grand entertainment. It was the hanging parties which proceeded with liquor and song turnout the night preceding the execution
 John Montjoy is finally determined to be guilty and is hanged at Covingon, is to be hoped that the event will not be another carnival of brutality.
