post TO declare himself. Still, even
that one was sufficient to lar state
ment out of him. This doesn't imply
that he was very reluctant. Let him
get bit more encouragement and
maybe he'll break right into the cam
paign.
How we'll he'd run, supposing he
is nominated, is decidedly pro-
blematic.
To proclaim him as a formidable
dark horse would be to overdo his
case altogether
Nevertheless he has his points-as
we'll as his disadvantages
Slightly Eccentric.
His principal disadvantage is that
he's somewhat eccentric For instance
some years ago he launched an anti
Communistic congressional inveStiga-
ton, similar to Representative Mar
tin Dies anti-American inquiry of
today. Nobody could blame him for
being anti-COmmunistic, but he gave
the impression of looking under the
bed for Communist, hiding under
meath, every night when he was
about to turn in. He exaggerated his
quiz, in short, making it q trifle ridi-
culous. Nor was the time ripe for it,
as Dies inquisition is more or less,
now. Folks pOoh-poohed him.
He's been almost overly a pacifist
of late. Nobody blames him for that,
either. But it's complained that his
pacifism has been so excessive a
pacifism as to handicap the Roose-
welt administrations supposedly more
reasonable kind
He's an extremist all right

On the opposite hand, he's as hon

a dozen decorations for bravery in
the field. Calling him a pacifist

Pacifists can't but be back of him.

He can't be called anti-American,
on account of any foreign ''isms"-
he's rampantly otherwise.
He's liberal Republican.
The rank-and-flle of the Repub-

And What

Dr.. SIipher Soon to
Check on Wells
And WeIIes
BY WARREN HAPGOOD.

One OF the most persistent, re-
sourceful and brilliant exponents Of
the theory of life on Mars, DR.. Earl
C. Slipher, American astronomer
now in South Africa, submits,
through colored photographs, evi-
dences Of plant life on that planet.
If plant life, why not animal life?
So inferentially asks DR.. Slipher,
who is an associate of his more
famous brother, DR.. Vestos M.
Sipher, director of the Lowell OBJ
servatory at Flagstaff. Ariz. Both
were born on a farm in Clinton
County, Ind, and both attended the
university of their State.
Next week, with the red planet
making its closest approach to this
earth in IS years, DR.. Slipher will
check further his new theory which
is based upon apparent changes and
markings upon its surface. Back in
| 1881. he announced discoveries con-
corning Mars, denoting physical
state greatly resembling that of this
earth. This was but one of several
theories he has expounded in sup
port of his belief it may be the home
of living beings
Reserve Mai. Maurice Rossi,
famous French airman who will
shortly fare to California to at
tempt to regain the nonstop dis
tance record by flying from Cali
fornia, across the United States,
over Ireland, France and Syria to
Jibuti, French East Africa, is the
man whose thunder was so COM
pletely stolen by Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh as a result of the Amer
lean aviator's immemorial flight
across the Atlantic Ocean to Paris.
Hardly a month previously, Maj.
Rossi had won international acclaim
for his aerial hop from France to
Oran, Algeria, 1859 miles, in 8
hours and 25 minutes.
Maj. Rossi has been flying a long
time now, some 20 years, and GER
tainlv his exploits have been suff-
ciently noteworthy to warrant faith
in the success of his forthcoming
venture. Six years ago, companioned
by Paul Codos, he set a distance
record flying from New York to
Syria, 1858 miles, mark that stood
until 1887, when three Russian air.
men completed flight from Moscow
over the North Pole to San Jacinto,
Calf, 6,296 miles. The record was
subsequently, beaten by two planes
of the British Air Force. which flew
7l60 miles from Ismala, Egypt, to
Port Darwin. Australia.

'Frolics' Tuneful
And Humorous

The second of the three initial per-
formances of The Freund Frolics," :"
which took place yesterday at Pierce
Hall, drew friendly audience that
met each number on the program
with ready and generous applause.
Robert Frederick Freund, founder
and director of the group, proved
successful in his object to provide
healthy fun. while keeping up high
standards of musicianship, and COM
bining the two in a picturesque
medley. Minute care was given every
detail, such as quality of tone in the
singers, in solo and ensemble, ges-
ture, costuming and lighting effects,
not to forget the simple lines of the
frame provided by cyclorama cur
tain IN the first number, and the
grouping Of the chorus.
The soft intoning OF a prelude on
the organ by H. Jerome Graham, ex-
pertly played in semi i-darkness, lent
an atmosphere of loftiness and re-
f1nement, stressing the mood of the
Moonlight Madonna" sung by some
80 members dressed in white, accom-
panied by Myrtle Alcorn, arranger,
Organ and piano cleverly succeeded
each other throughout the perform
ance and created a sense of con-
tinuity while the curtain, drawn
after each number, divided the
whole into so many short sketches.
OF these especially noteworthy was
'Neidlich's Little German Band"
with Victor H. Neal. director. the
four members of which, bewhiskered
and made up to represent the
familiar type of German small
town band musician, played "Ach
du Lieber Augustine" Oh, Where
Has My Little Dog Gomez" and "The
Beer Barrel Polka" with every pro-
fessional infection, while two cou-
Piles. served with beer, created the
illusion Of the place in the back
ground. But the outstanding num-
Der of this sketch was the duet for
flute and saxophone by two members
OF the band, Eleanor Carter and
Fred Fetter, to the accompaniment
on the piano by Mr.. Neal, "Zwei
Herzen In Dreivierteltakt" deserves
to be heard again on any program.
Anita Howard's "Burlesk of a
Well-Known Operatic Aria" which
turned out to be one by Gluck, gave
occasion for merriment as did Ever
ett Palmer in 'The Umbrella Man"
Introduced with the full chorus, he
appeared with a paraphernalia of
old and broken umbrellas, to which
knives and, scissors were later added
by Kathryn Campbell, who shared
In the sketch.
Graceful in her acting was Erma
Calvert as the leading lady in the
gypsy chorus and in her solo, I'm
dian Love Call" which brought her
several recalls. OF the gypsy chorus
numbers, the most outstanding one,
in the first part of the program,
was an arrangement of Brahms
Hungarian Dance No. g." which the
gypsies sang with a snappy rhythm
and animation. There were also
improvisations on the piano by Mr..
Neal, at the beginning of which Mr..
Fetter provided comedy.
Others who contributed to the
success of the "Freund Frolics" were

| I'LL VI tC1lllO11ts
drafted the now famous measure
which bears his name. When it was
first presented, its passage by a po-
litically minded Congress seemed a
fantastic impossibility. Now 1t has
not only passed the Senate but also
the House, and the Senate, at the
urging of Senator Hatch, deftly
avoided sending the measure to con-
| ference, where it might have Ian
guished for weeks. The Senate
agreed to the House amendments.
Two reasons-there probably are
more-may be given for the action
of Congress on this revolutionary
measure, designed to clean up poll
tics and political conventions and
primaries as we'll as elections. The
first was an aroused sentiment over
the use of relief appropriations and
the relief organization of the Fed
eral Government to control elec-
tions. The second was uncertainty
as to whether President Roosevelt
| intends to strike for a third-term
llOllllIldG4O 4llCl 10 a 1dl &c llulIl~
ber of Democrats In both Senate and
House who would dislike very greatly
| to see the President make such a
move-and even more to see him
renominated.
1t has been the common talk that
the President could have himself re-
nominated by the simple expedient
of packing the next Democratic Ma
tional Convention with Federal Of
f1cials. 1t has been done before and
by other Presidents. 1t has been
equally the common talk that
through Federal officials acting as
delegates to the national convention,
the President could dominate that
convention and name some other
successor to himself, in the event he
himself decided not to make the
race.
Third Term In Background.
Senator Hatch assiduously avoided
discussion Of the third term" issue
during the consideration of his bill
Nor did this issue break into the de-
bate, openly, in the House when that
body considered the Hatch bill. But
1t was always there, in the minds of
some of the Democrats-as we'll as
in the minds of the Republicans. The
opinion today is that the Presidents
hand, so far as controlling the 1910
national convention, has been weak
ened by the Hatch bill.
The President will sign the bill
and make it law, it is believed here
on all sides. If he vetoed the meas
ure, his action would be interpreted
as meaning that he intended to use
as far as possible Federal job holders
and Federal patronage to have his
way with the national convention.
