Press-Gaggers Gagged

TNENNESSEE'S "press gag'' bill, railroaded through
the State senate by vote of 80 to has been killed
in the lower house.
There will be mourning for the loss of this extraor
dinary measure by anybody above the mental age of
six-anywhere.
The mere fact that it could be seriously introduced
in American legislature and passed by one house of
that legislature is interesting commentary on "civil
ization" in these United States.
1t would have been highly appropriate in the dictator
ridden countries of Europe where the strangng of the
press is the first and fatal toward stranging the
liberties of the people.
The legislators who have cracked down on it are to

"a man will bully a waiter who is

his wife's face red from the we'd
ding day to the divorce.

pert accountant, and then grudg-
ingly doleS out the money like
the victim of a hold-up, he's a

his wife feel like a charity ward
all her life.
But if he barely glanceS at the
addition, hands the waiter q big
banknote and tells him to keep
the change" he may be a show
off or a waSter, and the girl who
marries him may have to take
roomerS or go back to her job
to pay off his debts.
Before you marry a man, get
a line on his appetite. If he
picks at his food and pushes back
his plate, any girl he marries may
have a case of chronic indigeS-
ton and crankiness on her hands.
But if he orders everything on the
menu and eats and eats until
he has finished it, he is probably
the kind who will grow fat and
go to sleep after dinner; and the
honeymoon will be over before the
boat for Bermuda passes Sandy
Hook.
And don't marry any man until
you see what two or three cock
tails will do to him. Some be-

some are loud and argumenta-

,L.owther Castle in Cumberland.
For nearly as long as that he has
been one of Britain's most popu
lar figures. Last Of the great
Squires, he is a living monument
to British sport.
An adventurer from boyhood,
this grand old man, representa-
tive of an ancient tradition, offers
example and inspiration to the
young of today. CircuseS, prize
fights, racing, hunting, wandering
in strange lands and farming his
native acres-theSe have been his
chief interests.
No career has been more
crammed with action. When he
was II years old, just out Of Eton,
he ran away from home to join
a circus as an acrobat. His skill
in the Cumberland style of Wrest-
ling earned the respect of the
gang of roughneckS, white and
colored, honest and otherwise, who
Travelled with the big tent. The
next his parents heard Of him
was from Denver, Colo, where he
was prospecting for gold. In Colo
rado, in the seventies" he drove
cattle for S. a day.
POPULAR FIGURE
He was a cowboy at Cheyenne,
go years before cowboys took to
grooming. He fought Indians in
the days of tomahawks, feathers
and firewater. Only two men in
fight history ever knocked the
great John L. Sullivan off his
feet before drink and the devil
got him down. One was a little
Englishman named Charlie Nit
chell. The other was a big Eng
lishman named the Hon. Hugh
Lowther.

Hugh Lowther, future Lord Ions
dale, donned the gloves with the
great John L., at that time re-
garded as invincible, the super
man of the ring. Lonsdale, then
%, was celebrated as an expert
boxer, with victories over many
English professionals. A bout was

COLORFUL CAREER
A remarkable old boy with
an almost unbeLevably colorful
career. Mr.. H. W. Seaman, writ
ing in the Sunday Chronicle, Of
London, tells of the striking i'm
preston the octogenarian made as
he forged through a London
streetcrowd:
1--WE were crowded tightly to-
gether with neckS craned wait
ing to see a royal procession.
But suddenly the ranks parted

the few frOck coats left in Lon
don, worn by one Of the very few
men who could carry it with
dignity, appeared. In the but

in his right hand, walking

inch cigar. No other man on
earth could have borne that
cigar intact through such 8

The decision to have such study made, announced
by Commissioner Melvin c. Hazen, is commendabe
move and one which The Times has repeatedly urged
Such an inquiry of course does not indicate any lack
of confidence in the local either by the Com
missioners or by the citizens Of the community.
It does however indicate willingness on the part
of those who running the local government to have
our voteless citizens scrutnze the machinery which
governs them
Heretofore suggestions that such a study be made
have met with the response that the District govern
ment is one of the most efficient city governments in
the country.
That may be, and probably is, true.
But that is faint praise and would not indicate that
there was no way in which the local government could
be improved.
The local government (and we speak of it purely as
local government and not with regard to its relation
ship to the Federal Government has grown in rather
haphazard fashion.
That probably inescapable consequence of having

whims of Congress and in sense responsible to the

That method of growth would certainly indicate that
agencies bureaus may have been added to the local
government when they not necessary may have

need for them had passed.
IF THERE ARE SUCH AGENCIES THEN

TO DISCOVER THEM AND RECOMMEND THAT
THEY BE ABOLISHED.

Some say that it is highly efficient that it is not
stated and that it is free from graft and corruption
Others can be found who will say just the opposite
Many allegations as to the functioning of the local
government have been made recently.
The Jacobs Committee went far in recommending
changes.
Changes also recommended a short time ago
by the Brookings Institution which made complete
investigation.
