By Jennings Randolph and
James A. Bell. Washington:
Press of Byron S. Adams.
Any person who has ever risen to
his feet before an audience seen or
unseen and wished he could be sure
that his voice wasn't going to quaver,
his notes rattle and that he knew
exactly what he was going to say,
will find precious gems of wisdom
in the pages of this book.
Written by two well-known spell
binders, Jennings Randolph, Mem
ber of Congress from West Virginia
and head of the department of pub
lie speaking, Southeastern Univer-
sity, and James A. Bell, president Of
Southeastern University, the volume
is textbook, offering the meat of a
college course in public speaking
that has been used for Is years and
found successful.
Unlike most books on this subject
Speaking That Wins" is not weight
ed down with too many words, which,
although 1t may seem strange
recommendation for a book, is the
highest kind of praise.
Exercises for the privacy of your

given on selecting the right word,
pronunciation and relaxation. Over
worked expressions to avoid like

Haiti
By Col. D. P. Calirte. Neu
York.: Wendell Malliet & Co.
This is a document on Haitian
politics that runs a minor scale
parallel to Rauschning's illumina-
tions OF the Nazi movement. Written
by the former commandant of the
Garde d'Haiti now in exile in the
United States, it is, furthermore,
a strong plea for personal justice
for the author who, according to
his story, was summarily accused
of conspiracy to overthrow the
Vincent regime in 1887 and forced
to leave the country.
Col. Calixte, naturally viewing the
Haitian scene through the eyes of
one prosecuted, does not, however,
rant bitterly. He is calm; he is
thorough, despite the brevity of his
volume. He writes as a patriot
and soldier in high repute, as
his service of % unbroken years
in the army would indicate. Con-
corning his personal score, Col
Calixte offers documentary proof of
deliberate, government-inspired
plot to eject him from his position
In his book Calixte points an
accusing finger at dictatorial form
of state with the president puppet
swayed by small group of poll
ticos, at the corruption of public
funds. deprivation of personal lib
erty and downright impoverishment
of the masses. 1t may very easily

public once again. j. s.

WHAT TACOMA NEEDS
IN MAYORS CHAIR

Editor, The Times: A contest
for the mayoralty OF Tacoma Is
in the offing.
The election is some little way
In the future, but since the as
pirants for the honor and the
opportunity are already busy as
a mess of bees at swarming
time, why should not the elector'
ate be at least more than pass
lively concerned? They should.
The government Is never any
better than the people who make
1t, nor any worse than the peo-
pie who endure 1t. Mr.. and
Mrs. John J. Citizen are the
final arbiters. II they are more
concerned with bridge and the
latest screen colony scandal than
with their city's needs. the city
will continue TO need-plenty.
Only those who are everlast-
ingly determined to deem every
body else c. 1oked and dishonest
will doubt that any citizen whom
the people OF Tacoma finally
choose for mayor will be a man
OF integrity and at least con-
ventional honesty. The LATEST
vice and perhaps most repre-
hensible is the cultivation of gen.
eral suspicion and the smearing
Of mud. for hire or personal ends.
Only those who resent the no.
ton that any others than them
selves can possibly be wise to
any sppreciable degree, will
doubt that the man finally chos-
en- will be a citizen OF intelli-
gence probably above the aver
age. The fact is that with our
free exercise of franchise and
selection American voters do not
elect crooks or dumbbells to Of
flee, although occasionally it
seems as though they did.
II Is one Of the privileges, and
also the responsibilities, that We
get-whst the majority chooses.
Praise God, no one u in position

mayor. We win attend TO that
ourselves.

quisites OF intelligence and in

Well. just this: Tacoma. in its
own peculiar manner OF COM
placency and stability, has been
going through q dull period
marked only by a new industrial
plant or two and generous fed

WANTS INQUIRY TO TAKE
IN 9TH DISTRICT


Editor, The Times: It is getting
somewhat difficult for the pub
lie to follow the trend of daily
activity on the part of certain
members of congress, relative to
their stand on certain actions Of
the Dies committee report on I'M
American activities.
The information recently dis
closed proved hundreds of high
government employees were defi-
nitely affiliated with an organi-
zation controlled by members Of
the Communist party.
The committee recommended
their names be published and
that they be removed from their
office of trust. and with few ex-
ceptions the public favored that
policy.
Our present congressman from
this district proved TO be one
of the exceptions, as he cried
to the high heavens against the
expose which, perhaps. indicates
that there may be a few of his
very dear friends that fall in the
select category of accepting tax
payers money and, at the same
time, work with subversivs
