WASHINGTON-The almost complete defeat
OF the Roosevelt program in the recent session
of Congress still puzzles most OF those who pre-
dicted confidently after the last election that
the President would have an entirely free hand
One opinion attributes the court defeat and
subsequent debacle to Roosevelts own personal
errors of Judgment. These points are maze:
/ Presidential advisers divided as TO
whether to make the first big fight of the new
administration on the court or for a wage-hour
bill. Friend and foe now agree that RooSeVeiI
in February could virtually have dictated the
type of wage-hour law he wanted. instead,
Roosevelt decided to make his big fight on
court reform.
2 Only one or two of the Presidents ad-
visers favored the court-packing plan before 1t
was launched. Sheer Self-confidence plus Roose-
velts love for bold gesture in attack, along with
a desire for immediate results, led the President
to choose the packing plan.
s. With the court fight or in full fury, RooSe-
welt engaged in it only nonchalantly. He was
so sure of himself. so sure that his prestige
would carry the bill, that he never really got
behind it, When he went breezily off to Texas
for vacation he left no organized leadership
of his cause behind him and the battle on his
side lost momentum while the other side made
progress.
4. Roosevelt underestimated popular faith in
the Supreme Court as one Of the established
institutions of government.
The fact appears to stand out that RooSe-
velts nonchalant self-asSurance led to the great
mess which the first session OF the 18th
Congress. His friends hope he has learned a les
son and his enemies nope he hasn't
Three factor may have some bearing on this
point
/ The court fight, according to administra-
ton plans, will continue in one form or another
3 Roosevelt still believes he has the support
of the masses of the people" and that they
support what he calls his mandate and are
willing to see to it that he gets what he wants.
Roosevelt fooled himself in the court fight, how
ever. when he sat back to wait for his opponents
Ito hear from the country
g. The administration will not help any anti
court member in next years primaries and may
90 through with present plans to knife such MEM
bers. Farley denied this in his indianapolis
speech to Young Democrats, but Senator Guf-
fey's speech in favor of knitting, which brought
him such a terrific lacing from Senator Wheeler.
Burke OMahoney, Holt, and others, was secretly
applauded by most New Dealers.
AS long as Roosevelt thinks along these lines,
only one pretenSe of a prediction is possible
Nobody knows where it all will end

GOOD WORK, MIR. PAIROLMAN
(San Rafael independently

Along the two-lane highway stretched a long
line of motor cars. 1t was Sunday morning and
thousands were bound for the country for days
outing Up at the head Of the line was a large
truck piled high with hay, rolling along at todays
slow speed of about 25 miles an hour
The driver of that truck was obeying all
traffic regulations as such set down in the
book but he was violating one of the gentlemanly
rules of the road by clinging close to the white
line down the center of the pavement. 1t was
impossible to pass, for the opposite direction
traffic was sufficiently heavy to prevent that.
Ahead was hill and scores of motorists sighed,
or swore audibly or otherwise until
Get over to the side of the road and stay
over"
The truck driver started in his seat. He had
not noticed that highway patroman who was
writing out ticket for some other offender whom
he had halted at the roadside, but that voice of
authority needed and quickly, too. Perhaps
the truck driver didn't think, perhaps he doesn't
read the newspapers perhaps no 4 had told
him that the highway patrol is condc,ting drive
to force slow moving vehicles TO the side of the
highways that more rapid travellers may pass
on their way.
That highway patroman is to be commended
for keeping such watchful eye on the traffic
his beat and every motorist, who skipped
by that slow moving truck was grateful to
him, but of course none paused to tell him So
OF such is not the way of the world
And along the same line it is somewhat of
a novelty to hear traffic officers ordering motor
lists to Speed it up" step it." Go little
faster" where a few years ago it was Hey,
where's the fire?" But such are the changing
times More cars require wider and better high
ways while better cars permit of higher rates
of speed in perfect safety, the slow moving car
of this age being nearly as great a menace as
is the speeder

National advertisers are pretty
smart. They engineer national cam
paigns that change the tastes of a
nation and they stage contests that
keep a million persons home nights
puzzling and puzzling. But they
have yet to top the best trick OF
the bunch, and that happened
nearly $50 years ago. The episode
is recalled by the placing of tea
and coffee grading and production
exhibits in the Field Museum at
Chicago.
1t was in Sweden where coffee
and tea arrived simultaneously, as
it did in other Scandinavian coun-
tries, late in the 18th century.
Rival groups of dealers imported
the ingredients for the two beve-
RACES and each group had natural
and understandable desire to esta-
blish a market before the other

that if there's anything on the
bill of fare that I've never eaten
before, I try for pure gastrono-
mic experience and education But
in years of experimenting I've never
found anything so satisfactory as
the dishes l loved when a boy
fried mush, thin cut round steaks,
deep dish apple pie with thick
cream, etc. All talk of taste in eat
ing is bosh. We are made SO that
We love the things that in youth
gave us greatest pleasure and thrill
and all Kings stewards and cooks

speak of any place where you get

Taste is relative. Most people are
allergic to what they like best.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2-Every

those wise to the deceits of Broad

described by writer's as "a shifty

belief that the guilty cannot look

crook the steadier his gaze, as a
rule.

pressed a truth with: There is a

and missed prison by an eye-lash.
Maeterlinck confessed he could
not look his own mother squarely

rectly in the eye but can, if they
