Hayashi Cabinet Falls.

On the same day that found the
Western world trembling in alarm over
developments in Spain, which involved
the peril of precipitating the long
feared European war; Japan was the
scene OF events destined to promote
peace on the other side of the globe.
The army bossed cabinet of General
Senjuro Hayashi, which had stubbornly
retained office despite overwhelming
defeat at the polls on April 30, resigned
In body. It's fall was directly brought
about by the firm demands of the two
leading political parties, the Minseito
and Seiyukai, which won roundly 400
of 466 Diet seats at the last general
election. The party leaders had un-
ceasingly contended that in view of it's
rebuke by the nation, the Hayashi min
istry, which had truculently threatened
to govern without Parliament, was guilty
Of usurpation. Even the hint that the
premier would enact electoral reforms
designed to replace parliamentary con-
troll with a near-Fascist regime did not
deter the political leaders from insist
ing that General Hayashi quit Office
and make way for a government repre-
sentative of the peoples will. That he
has finally retired under this relentless
fire is an undeniable and epochal vic
tory for the Japanese constitutional

system, even though 1t would be pre-.
mature to suppose that civilian ascend
ancy over army influence is now def
nitely established.
Emperor Hirohito is expected, on the
advice of Prince Saionji, surviving men,
Der of the elder statesmen group,
promptly to select new premier. I'm
less the cabinet now to be chosen in
cludes members of the powerful political
parties, its life is not likely to be pro-
longed much beyond the four month
tenure of the Hayashi cabinet, which
had the second shortest term in the
island empires modern history. The
civilian parties command strength
enough in the Diet to defeat legisla-
ton which they oppose and force out
a cabinet which seeks to govern under
army control. The probability is that
a national coalition ministry will sue
ceed the late discredited ministry. From
such a cabinet the civilian interests
including industry and finance, as well
as the political parties, will ask for
drastic administrative reforms, a strong
foreign policy and an adequate army
and navy. But there is every prospect,
now that the -militarist elements
have demonstrated their ability to
checkmate and upset an army domi-
mated government, that moderation will
supplant the spirit of aggression which
has latterly characterized Japanese
policy, especially in China
That is harbinger of tranquility in
the Far East, which is more than ordi-
narily welcome throughout the world at
this gravely anxious hour in Europe.

The Refrigeration Code.

1t is altogether appropriate that the
public hearing on the proposed new
refrigerator and air conditioning code
for the District, held yesterday at the
District Building, should be postponed
for period to permit irritations
aroused by the processes of preparation
and consultation to subside. A cooling
off interval is quite in order. The pro-
posed code, affecting large number of
property owners, proved to be a surprise
to those who attended the hearing.
representing those whose interests were
directly involved. An attempt to limit
each speaker to five minutes was re-
sented. Furthermore, it was alleged that
the code had not been properly ex-
planned. Fortunately wise counsel pre-

vailed and the hearing was adjourned to
later date.
While expedition is desirable in general
in matters Of local administration, there
would seem to be no urgent reason for
haste in the preparation and adoption
OF code of this character It is a new
proposition. 1t will involve q heavy
expenditure and in some cases will seri-
ously affect the business welfare of
property owners. It would be unreason-
able to expect to adopt code in time
to apply to the warm season which is
just beginning.
There is no doubt of the need of a
system of inspection and a standard
of workmanship and installation cover
ing equipment Of this character. Here
tofore there has been much laxness in
this respect. Danger to life is involved
This is admitted by property owners
and doubtless If sufficient time is given
for the thorough study of the matter
and the preparation of reasonable rules

operation with the Commissioners by
the public. The objections voiced at
yesterdays hearing were mainly due to
the lack of time for such a study. For
tunately a spirit Of reason prevailed
finally at the hearing to effect post
DOnement until the voluminous docu.
ment embracing the proposed rules can
be fully studied, and presumably when it
is resumed sufficient time will be given
for the full presentation of views. That

istics Of man which really count, in
the long run or short run.
Most men waste most OF their lives
seeing only the superficial character
istics OF others. They see his hair is
long, and they ask him why he doesn't
have 1t cut. II it is curly, they demand
that he put stickum on 1t, which he
loathes.
So it goes all along the line, men
wasting their time and energy noting
things not worth the noting or saying
too often failing to say anything about
the good and the beautiful in life, wear
ing shamed expression II any one else
dares.
SloW-motioned people, in essence, like
to think deeply, as deep as they can; they
like to run as long as they can; they
fancy old hats, we are convinced, and
old friendships.
Running
We are so used to rolling on Wheels
in this day, that many of us forget
that legs were and remain the original
form OF transportation.
They are just as useful today as they
were in the stone age, and if any one
asks where are the pterodactyls and
other monstrous and fearsome creatures,
let US reply that the streets are full
OF them, monsters breathing gas and
defiance, and manning and killing more
than those old bluffs ever did.
X X X
Yes, one needs to be able to run todav
as much as ever.
OF those famous ways of getting out of
trouble, running remains one of the yery
best, after all.
We can do long distance with our
minds, If we want to- and work out some
other old proverbs OF note, including "A
soft answer turneth away wrath" That
IS sort OF marathon, isn't it, based
soldly on the universal appreciation of
the sloW-mlnded man as opposed to the
aforementioned, Wise-cracker type
Mental slow continued running" re-
qulres patience and applied good will.
1t demands some thought for the other
fellow.
There is something particularly ap-
peallng to the mind about the long dis
tance run. Not every one is agreed on
the exact spectacular value. It is much
the same with regattas. Some love them.
others regard them as bores
When 1t comes to the mental side of
long distance running, there can be
little divergence of opinion. 1t takes all
the energies Of the human body, and
puts them to work carrying that body
over the ground. 1t unites the ancient
OF days with the very palpitating second
OF today. 1t gets right down to the bed
rock Of human nature The marathoner
doesn't have to beg lift; he lifts him
self over the ground any time he wants
to, for as long as his lungs and legs
hold out
He is his own man, in way pecul-
larly pleasing to the unfettered human
mind as it should be. but as it is, alas,
very few times under modern condi-
tions.
If the revolt of the yes man" ever
occurs, we believe it will be led by a
marathon runner, aided and abetted bv
marathon runners. Maybe they will all
bring modern resentment to a head, so
that this century can get going again
where it left off last.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL,

There's going to be a marathon race
here soon, one Of the primitive athletic
events which retains its grip on the
imaginations of men despite all the new
tangled competition.
No one now needs to run miles without
stopping, perhaps. but it is good thing
to have the runners in the race, so that
If the necessity should arise there would
be trained personnel to do 1t
"Of the % ways OF getting out Of
trouble say the Chinese, "the best is
to run away"
Good lungs and good legs still serve
mankind in many ways.
One must have both to run in a mara
thon. Not the motion picture type Of
beauty, by any means. 1t is notorious
that long distance runners often are
thin and bandylegged.
The stuff is there, however; those bow
legs carry their owners over the terrain
in excellent style.
AS to why any one wants to be
marathoner, that is another question:
but we believe the explanation runs
this way:
Man is divided into two groups, the
slow-motioned, and the quick-motioned.
Men in the latter classification in
athletics "go in" for tennis, the dashes,
basket ball.
Those in the former class prefer golf,
the weight events, long distance run
ming.
One may suspect, whether rightly or
wrongly, that long-distance men are
more philosophers than athletes, at
least mentally.
They are the kind of men who love
books, pipes and old clothes
There is in the Middle West re-
tired marathoner who is a landscape
architect by trade and a book collector
by avocation.
Landscape architecture is pleasant,
slow -motioned way OF earning living,
We would suppose.
Maybe all marathon men do not COL
lect old books, but it wouldn't surprise
us bit if most of them do, for this
one was and is typical of the lot.
A long, rangy fellow, probably not so
rangy by this time, since we remember
him as he was before the war, who star
red only in distance runs. although he
tried all other forms of college athletics.
1t was college noted for its basket
ball teams in particular, but with good
teams in all other branches.
X
Another thing the majority Of long
distance men shine in is talk.
They love gabfest like dogs love
hamburger.
Probably not public speaking, al
though We have seen some of them shine
there, too, but mostly two and three, or
at most four, together, at a table with
something on it.
Then plenty Of good talk, one thing
after another. one topic leading on to
the next, with that natural, unforced
progression which is the Joy of all good
conversationalists.
It's that slow-motion temperament
which makes good distance man, and
this whether he seems fussy and fidgety,
or not. 1t isn't the superficial character

Carl Hubbell is a philosopher as well
as great base ball pitcher When his
winning streak of twenty-four games,
spanning last season and the present
one, was broken the other day, he
merely remarked that his luck had run

by favorite public performers, with fewer

MY COLONEL AND HIS LADY. BY

MY COLONEL AND HIS LADY. BY
Archibald Rutledge. indianapolis:
The Bobbs-Merrill Co.
This volume is the tribute of de-
voted and gifted son to his father and
mother of whom he says:
Though they have gone into the
World of Light, they never seem to
leave us, those friends of our mortal
pilgrimage who were loved and lovable
1t is so with my Colonel and his Lady.
Peace of heart and gratitude and
reconciliation to life the memory of
my beloved Colonel brings me; and
though he recedes into the past, for me
the vision of him continually brightens,
touched with tender radiance.
Here was real man, the personifcation
of a great era in American life.
Why should 1 not give what I know to
be an authentic picture of him, one
that trust may be convincing!
THE long shadows of life obliterate
too much that is memorable and charm
ing of the human scene. I don't ever
want my Colonel to be hidden in those
shades. There are too many people
living today who would appreciate him
and love him, even as his son does"
Henry Middleton Rutledge was the
youngest colonel in the Confederate
Army and one Of the most valiant. He
and his sharpshooters were participants
in most of the major battles of the
Civil War, and when that bloody conflict
came at last to an end he returned to
his Wo-thousandacre estate in South
Carolina to take up the burden of
maintaining an existence. Only twenty
four years DID, with one shoulder per-
manently dropped as result of wounds
at Malvern Hill and Antietam, i'm
poverished and defeated, the colonel held
no bitterness in his heart, but carried
on through long life, gallant, gen.
erous. just and exemplifying in his daily
life his faith in the ideals which stood
for those things that were best in the
old South.
A close companionship existed between
father and son and it Is through this
association from childhood along the
years to manhood that the son of the
picturesque and gallant colonel in
terprets the character of the man whose
life and interests were too fine to be
hidden in those "long shadows of life"
which "obliterate too much that is
memorable of the human scene"
In recounting the life of his mother,
the same fine appreciation of char
acter and idealism is present. AS his
father was superior among men, so also
was his mother superior among women,
living largely in loneliness and isolation,
managing the plantation and its people,
meeting with resourcefulness and in
fearlessness the many emergencies of
illness and other crises involving not
only her own family, but the entire
plantation neighborhood.
Mr.. Rutledge is a gifted writer, and
| in this tribute to his parents he has
expressed with poetic beauty the lowell
ness of memory that can never be
hidden In the long shadows, and that
| may bear the germ Of revival of faith
in the principles and ideals which char
acterized the journey upon this earth
| of the Colonel and his Lady.

Local Tax Pitfalls.

The botched-up local tax program
finally prepared at the District Build
ing for consideration tomorrow by the
full House District Committee is the
product of much aimless tinkering. It
Is not a logical program of taxation nor
fair one. 1t represents a hopeless If
good-natured effort-at the expense of
the unrepresented people of the District
to incorporate in such program the
tax whims or predictions of a large
number Of persons, none of whom seems
to have given much thought or study
to the tax problem as a whole. 1t needs
drastic revision.
In the face of manifest difficulties and
uncertainties of administration the local
income tax has been included in the pro-
gram. That in itself is indicative of an in
comprehensive failure to appreciate the
peculiar nature of the problems involved
in a local income tax as well as unwise
disregard of the evil of double or dupli-
cate taxation as between the national
and local governments. But if in spite
of the manifest faults of local income
tax such tax is favored, then it is in
conceivable that the tax will be enacted
on top of the existing tax on intangibles,
or that, as suggested, its provisions be
made retroactive. The worst enemies of
the District never proposed any such
thing. Are We seriously threatened with
1t now by our friends?
The only rational defense of local
income tax has been that it is preferable
to the intangibles tax. That is matter
OF opinion. But certainly the income
tax can never be seriously considered
except as substitute for the intangibles
tax.
The proposal to retain the intangibles
tax while experimenting with local in
come tax is grotesque and should be
abandoned Immediately. If the intan-
gibles tax is retained, with more strict
provisions OF enforcement, there is no
need for local income tax.
The only excuse for an automobile
weight tax has been as a substitute for
the personal property tax on automobiles.
But by curious process of abstruse
reasoning at the District Building, auto
mobile owners are apparently to be
plastered both with weight taxes and
personal property taxes, though the most
ardent tax boosters in Congress never
proposed the weight tax as anything but
. substitute for personal property taxes.
And while the weight tax was origi-
nally proposed to raise revenue to avoid
a general fund deficit, the proposal is
now to segregate it with the gasoline
tax fund, where there is no deficit. Con-
gress has failed to appropriate all funds
now raised from gasoline taxation. Such
segregation means that for every dollar
raised by the weight tax, another dollar
must be raised by some other tax for the
general fund
The House District Committees spe-
cial tax subcommittee has apparently
been anxious to include every conceivable
form OF tax in It's program, in order to
give full room for final selection. The
people of the District hope for wise
leadership from the full District Com
mittee in the avoidance of the tax pit
falls so carelessly dug for them up to
this time.
