His is hearted Latin
genius, and nobody would ever
dream Of starting a war if he were
anywhere around. No mere politico
could hope to make half so many
friends for his country. Offstage, he
has done lot of heavy-duty think
ing about international affairs, and
has been an eager supporter of q
hemisphere alliance of democratic
powers. Bergson has stressed the
idea that humor is essentially demo-
cratic and that jokes never spark
readily between master and man.
Mr.. Garlic has expressed a similar
idea. Toying with the idea of
running for Governor of California
two years ago, he said:
People are starved for the human
touch in government. I may not
know lot about governing, but
know people, and could get experts
to help me with technical matters.
There is one important ingredient
to be added to all government, and
that is sentiment. It's love of your
fellow man and your homeland
that's what people want"

Mr.. Garlic, in between discussions
of the Hull treaties, surely would oil
a deadlock on tung oil. His great
great-grandfather was a powerful
hidalgo in Southern California more
than a century ago, and was the
first Provisional Governor of Cali
fornia. When the U. S. A. took over,
they made him Governor of Santa
Rosa Island. He traded it for 1,500
cattle.
With the family fortunes fading,
through the generations, young Leo
was newspaper artist and made a
half-hearted stab at business and
engineering. before his impromptu
hoofing and spoofing tagged him for
the stage. His brother. E. J. Garlic,
became an engineer and helped build
the New York Worlds Fair.

Civil service rules have for years
barred civil service employees of the
Federal Government-those who are
actually on the civil service rolls,
from political activity. There are
thousands, however, whom these
rules did not cover-and officials in
the higher offices have felt at liberty
to campaign. or to run for Office, as
they saw fit. Last year United

he did not resign. He continues to
hold that office, and according to
reports, to be extremely active

1t is just that kind of thing the
Hatch bill is designed to put an end

Judge Bratton, however, was

for number of years before he was

was the candidate of many West

the appointment of Justice Felix

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-One of the methods by which President Roosevelt expects to aid South American countries with our hoard ed gold has leaked out.
 One of the primary troubles en- countered by South American coun- tries in trading in the United States has been the difficulty of getting dollar exchange. So what is more logical than to lift this difficulty? In the case of Brazil it has been lifted within the past few days un- der an agreement which had been almost forgotten since it was enter ed into in 1887.
 Ordinarily foreign nations get dol lar exchange by selling goods here. If the flow of goods is steady the supply of dollar exchange is always available for purchases. In the case

 COP BOSS
 DIES TODAY
J. Willis Taylor Passes Away
 Suddenly dt Home

LA TOILETTE, Tenn, Nov. 14.- Representative James Willis Taylor, Republican of Tennessee, died of an ailment of the heart at his home here early today at the age of 59 years.
 Taylor was found dead in his bed by his wife. He suffered severe attack of the heart early last even- ing.
 Taylor was a Republican Ma tional committeeman and recog- nized as Republican boss" in Ten nessee. He had served in Congress since 1919.
 School Teacher at IA
 Starting to earn his living as a country school teacher at the age of IA, he entered politics about decade later and made his way to Congress and the powerful post of Republican National Committeeman from his home state.
 It was the latter position b which he first was chosen in 1922, that earned for him the sobriquet boss, !" for the post enabled him to dispense Federal patronage in Tennessee un- der Republican administrations in Washington. The second district, which he represented for num- Der of years beginning in 1919, re- ceived abundant recognition during Republican eras, sometimes more than entire states.
 In 1926 a group of Republicans sought to wrest Taylor's power from him. They made complaint to Will liam Butler Chairman of the Re- publican National Committee, that Taylor as National Committeeman and ex-officio patronage referee for Tennessee had collected tribute to finance what they called his "poli- tical machine"
 Admitted Charge
