Who Said Conservatism? Roosevelt
SOmerSauIts Blasts Good Feeling
Era With Court Reform Plan

WASHINGTON-The so-called era of good
feeling which popularity supposed to have
set in after the election has been blown to what
for want of uninvented better word-might
be called smithereens.
Papa Roosevelt, according to all his pals
writing for the weekly magazines was going
to be conciliatory toward the conservative bus-
element. But he has turned a backward
somersault by popping his message, proposing
to revamp the supreme court and the rest of
the federal judiciary, right down at the feet of
those who thought he was anxious to kiss and
make up.
One of the first examples of the renewed
bitterness observed here when Congress-
Maury Maverick of Texas, foremost south
ern liberal in Congress, made speech to the
exclusive Harvard Club here the day after the
presidential message. Maverick who sat next
to Frederick Delano, Roosevet's uncle, took
the topic: college Men and Their lack of Edu-
cation The happenings of the occasion have
not been previously reported.
Maverick himself lawyer said he had been
in Washington two years and about all he had
heard about liberty had been said by high
priced lawyers in application for corporations.
He had heard practically nothing, he said
behalf of civil liberties for individual citizens.
Maverick said be was still waiting to hear
some graduate group speak up for academic
liberty or freedom of speech, that lawyers had
expanded in influence only as corporations had
grown in size. Some lawyers, he declared, still
the last presidential election had proved their
power didn't amount to so much. Further
more, said Maverick, the supreme court wasn't
sacred.
Then the chairman, Harvard law school
graduate who practices locally, arose, livid with
rage
Inasmuch as Maverick had criticized univer-
sity men and suggested they were prejudited
the chairman said, the usual period for ques-
tions to and answers from the speaker would
be omitted. F-"'t
Maverick stood up and said he didn't care
what the club did but if ne going TO be
treated with dScourteSy, he wanted every one
to understand that ne knew it.
The meeting then became a turmoil and the
cry I'VE want Maverick" was overwhelming
Maverick made speeches others made speeches
pro and con- The secretary of the club apolo-
gzed. Delano and others got the chairman in
a corner and made him apologize, too.
Inaugurated for his second term, Roosevelt
had his choice of repeating the oath word by
word after Chief Justice Hughes. or of simply
saying. Il do" He chose the former.
Otherwise he whispered later to close
friend, he might have had to feel he was max
ing promise to follow the oath it was con-
ceiyed in the mind of Hughes-whereas if he
spoke the words himself he would know exact
ly what he himself meant.

inspection it had the outline of an
upraised axe in blood red and re-
manned a permanent token of his
terrorizing experience.
Also there is the odd impress SC
often expressed in mass thought IN
given area. A returning visitor
from London tells of the blank
despair that settled on London the
night of the Kings take off. In
thousands of restaurants food was
ordered and untouched. One play
sold but 81 admissions to foreign
ers. Strangest of all, patients in
hospitals whose conditions did not
permit them to know their sover-
eign was thinking of quitting his
throne, in almost every instance,
grew more feverish and restless
during the night. Similarly there
was much unrest in hospitals ev-
erywhere during the Ohio valley
floods.
New York has had three sets of
caterers who ran successfully IN

John and CriSto Who ruled over
the dining at old ReiSenWeber's in

various popular haunts. Later, they
split and John became the maitre
