WAsHlNGToN-lt has 10 De
w reported that on the latest OF
at least a dozen conspicuous occa-
sions Secretary Harold j.. lckeS,
the New Deals India rubber man,
has bounced back up again from
what seemed to be a position on
the floor.
His PWA, which was supposed
to be dead, has been granted two
more years of life with funds.
There isn't going to be any new
Department of Public Works right
away, which means that lckeS
won't have to make choice be-
tween being secretary of that and
his present post as secretary OF
Interior.
Also if the government reorgan-
ization bill is passed, the name OF
the Interior Department will be
changed to Department of Con-
Servation, as IckeS desires.
These assurances developed at a
time when Ickes, who hasn't been
well, was in the Naval Hospital
here, away from the firing line ne
loves.
Few things demonstrate the
quality of Ickes so well as his
ability to stand above and SEEM
ingly oblivious to the constant Bit
ter intrigue which goes on within
his department and the PWA.

CAN'T HUSTLE AMERICA, INTO
oNE.MAN RULE
(By BRUCE CATTON)!

One of the encouraging things about our re-
pubIe is the way it has Of smackng man
down Just when he begins to think ne knows
al the answers.
You could dig enough Illustrations out OF
the history books TO fiji column, but Few
recent ones will s,Lice. The most striking case
is that of Woodrow Wilson.
Mr.. Wilson was probably the most powerful
leader in all the world on Nov. IL, 1918. IN
deed. he could be called one OF the three or
four most powerful leaders in all history. lie
had settled the greatest war OF all time; he
alone, among all the allied statesmen, seemed
10 have plan for bringing the hopes OF war
sick world to realization. For little while ne
held the whole world in his hand. '''
But the cheers had not died away before MIR.
Wilson eolided head-on with the ancient, III
yineible reluctance of the American people TO
he hustled. And the first thing anyone knew
he was a tragically rebuffed and thwarted
man, his high hopes and grandiose plans
wrecked by the simple fact that the republic
had got tired of seeing one man lay down the
law TO it.
On a smaller scale you could repeat the par
allel with Franklin d. Roosevelt. Last fall Mr.
Roosevelt won a landslide election as no presl-
dent before had ever won one. The opposition
was utterly overwhelmed In the Congress he
had a majority which made all former maJori-
ties look insignificant. II ever there was
president who could be pardoned for suppos-
ing that his word was all.powerful Mr.. Roose-
welt was the man.
And so what? So the first major program
he handed to the COngress-the plan Tor re-
visihg the Supreme Court-was riddled with
hostile bullets and finally was rejected by
Senate committee in a report as biting ana
critical as any in the annals OF that historic
house. And the all-powerful president learned
what Mr. Wilson had learned-that the Amerl-
can people will take nothing from anyone I'M
less, upon talking it over. they decide that
they happen to like 1t. ~
Lesser examples abound in recent memory.
There was the case of Father Coughlln, who
looked for a time as If he were going to ne the
unerowned king of American politics, but VINO
wound up completely beaten when the votes
had been counted There was DR.. Townsend,
at whose nod Legislators trembled for many
long month-tnta, at last, the people had had
enough. There was, for that matter Herbert
Hoover, who rode into office on a great land
slide and rode out on another one, overwhelm-
ihgly beaten.
You can add this sort of stuff mp all day
and Won will get Just one answer The instinct
for democracy as against personal rule Is all
powerful IN this country. The peoples distrust
Of power concentrated in one pair of hands is
ineradicable, and the man who gets such pow

all who aspire to leadership in America

Early Moving Picture Camera Owned By Ives

One of the first movie cameras ever made is owned by H. A. Ives of Wrangell.
 The camera made by the L. Gau- mont company in Paris, was ordered by E. A. Haig, a Bellingham photos- rapher to lake pictures of the Klon- dike stampede in 1898 over Chil- koot Pass Moving pictures were then but four years old but few cam eras had been constructed.
 MT. Haig paid $1,SOO for the cam era and it was delivered to him at Skagway in time for the gold rush pictures. When it was discovered, however, mat the manufacturers had failed to send film, it is said that the photographers rage. was past description.
 Film later arrived but not in time for Chilkoot scenes though the cam era was used, MT. Ives has been told, in getting pictures of Nome when the stampede was on in that camp. The most noteworthy of the Nome moving pictures were those showing landings through the surf.
 The camera is all of hand con- struction, but while beautifully fashioned better ones can Oe bought today for $9.75, declares Ives, than his $500 model. The early moving cameras created so much static that pictures flickered and the light spots were hard on the eyes.
 MT. Haig later started photog- raphy business in Cordova. The man to whom he sold out got into finan- cial straits and Ives bought his out fit through the bank; He recognized it's value as momento of the past, and intends some day to take it to Hollywood for display.
