The securities and exchange
commission declined to admins
ter the property, to the chagrin
of power advocates like Senator
Norris of Nebraska. The princi-
pal candidates for this juicy job
are John w. Hanes. former
SEC-er and former under secre-
tary of the treasury. and John
Burns. close friend of Ambassa-
dor John p. Kennedy and coun-
sci for the SEC when Kennedy
was chairman. 1t looks as II

quently rather brusque. and too
close to the White House, when
he was a commissioner. Any
way, no members of the agency
showed up when he was sworn in
as Henry Morgenthau's aide.
The really sensational angle,
however, is that the receiver
ship was dangled, though rather
remotely, before James A. Far
ley's eyes. Jim could use the
100000 a year, probably would
have leaped at it two years ago,
but now he prefers the polite
ally powerful combination of Of

generalship and national chair

James A. Farley has informed
Massachusetts, friends that he
has entered their primary as
bona fide candidate. that he will
not step aside for F.D.R. or any,
body else, and that he is not
stalking horse for third term.
Insiders believe from internal
evidence that he has adopted
the Garner technique of crowd
ing the president out of the race.
Here is the chronology indi-
eating that the vice president,
the national chairman, and pos
sibly Senator Wheeler of Mon
tana are cooperating in this
scheme:
January 3-Garner has two
hour lunch with Farley, a sep
parate two hour talk with
Wheeler, and eloquently urges
them to go out and collect dele
gates without waiting on Mr..
Roosevelt.
January 6-Introducing F. D.
r. at the Jackson day dinner
here. Farley's significant greet
ing in "Fellow-candidates." Few
days later he virtually declares
himself in the race as an oppon-
ent of the third term at Win
Salem.
February 10-He permits his
name to be filed in the Bay
state presidential primary.
Wheeler is slightly more coy
than Farley. First he indicated
in several speeches that he was
willing. Next he defended F.D.R.
against John l.. Lewis attacks
at the CLIO convention at Co.
lumbus, o. On Feb. II he was
accorded unusual honors-motor
cop escort, a parade, bands and
eulogies - by the Hague Moore

No More Mothers-In-Law

Those benevolent ladies who have given their sons and
daughters in marriage have finally rebelled against the
stigma that has attached itself to their lot Every comedian
has found mohersnaw handy subject for some deroga
tory grip and the ladies don't like it.
They decided that maybe it all in name and so
they rrappled with the problem from that angle They
changed the name of "mother-in-aw" to "kn-mother.
They have idea that will help.
Maybe it will Wisecracks about kn-mothers won't be
nearly funny jokes about mothersinaw And finally,
fnny-men win just abandon this field That will be just as

ladies are entitled to some relief

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY II
Kindly stars rule most Of to-
day. The planets encourage
spiritual consciousness. 1t is a
fortunate sway for the clergy
who will extend their duties
greatly In the line Of wholesale
helpfulness to those In distress.
Heart and Home: Women
should be extremely fortunate
today. II Is a time for prepara-
ton, since there IL an aspect
presaging much activity outside
the home. Depressing foreign
news will inspire practical serv-
ice in raising money and in pro-
viding supplies for the unfortu-
nate OF other lands. This is
promising rule Of the stars for
love affairs. The current young
man friend is apt to take things
seriously.
Business Affairs: Banks may
be inclined to tighten the grip
on money, although loans to
manufacturers will be wide
spread. Slight recessions in
various industries are forecast
for the coming months. but
trade will be fair and employ
ment more general than in
1899. Debt. collections may be
slow owing to a growing Amer
lean habit OF using cash for
amusements, while allowing
creditors to wait.
National Issues: Many men
and women OF varied viewpoints
will disturb the plans of political
parties. Healing OF old Demo-
cratic sores may be only temper
airy. The stars indicate that
the planetary influences which
make dictators possible will
affect party leaders and give
President Roosevelt extraordi-
nary power in the future.
International Affairs: The
stars seem to presage for Hit

his war campaign policies. This
Is a month of sinister possible
ties. Competition between the
two leading dictators will bring
about amazing results in which
Stain will show his treacherous
character.
Persons whose birthdste IL Ia

success. There Is forecast Of

sgeous. They will be ambitious

PRICE OF WAR WILL

Editor The Times: In the
midst of wars and rumors of
wars. and while history repeats
itself with a maze of widespread
propaganda, designed to psyche
logic the American people into
one again becoming involved in
Europe's conflict, dare we be OBJ
livious of the price we should
have to pay in the event of such
a tragic step?
Senator Nye insists that with

second world war and predicts
that eventually the cash and
carry clause of the neutrality
act may be overthrown to make
way for credits to the allies and

boys will again be fighting on
foreign battlefields.

REGRETS LACK OF INTER-
EST IN CITY ELECTION


REGRETS LACK OF INTER
EST IN CITY ELECTION
Editor, The Times: The execu-
tive board of the Allied Citi-
zens' Civic and Political Club,
Inc, in regular meeting Feb.
IL, 1910, hereby resolves that:
A vice ring does exist and is
organized. Their deals are al
ready consummated and five
good reasons are now on the
ballot to prove why the unor-
ganized taxpayers and citizens
are uninterested in politics and
stay away from the polls in
droves.
The largest vote in the history
of Tacoma and Pierce county
was cast in 1882 when 1000
turned thumbs down and did not
use their franchise. In each SUBJ
sequent election the interest
shown has been more apathetic.
A survey taken by the Allied
Citizens Civic and Political club
shows that these non-voters feel
that politics and candidates have
deteriorated to such an extent
that there is little use or differ
ence which way an election goes,
a a.. oil n
which sponsors the candidate
and party policy.
Tacoma's organized vice ring
is we'll known and has strange
bed-fellows with which to hide
itself behind a cloak Of decency,
but now that election time is
again upon us, you find them
busily engaged in congratulate
ing themselves upon their. choice
of candidates. The deals are
made and take" counted, all
that remains is to count the vote
to see which of the three leaders
of vice sits at the right hand Of
the mayor for the next two
years.
There is no real quarrel exist
ing between factions, each has
his own jurisdictional route: the
election formality is only bit OF
friendly rivalry for which John
Public pays. The ultimate VIC
tory belonging to none, except
the underworld. are already lick
ing their chops and basking in
the sunshine of prosperity.
The Allied Citizens Civic and
Political club is issuing q call to
citizens to assist us in demand
ing a department of justice in
vestigation into every phase of
political activity in Pierce coun-
ty, to rid itself once and for all
of this influence which is strang-
ling our growth, retarding our
business expansion program and
undermining the morale OF pub
lie office seekers TO such an eN-
tent that men, capable. morally
and mentally to assume the re-
sponsibility of governing US. can
not be tempted to take over the
reins of public office.
The Allied Citizens Civic and
Political Club. Inc. has estab-
lished an office in Room 22I
Provident building and has
speakers available for any group
or organization wishing a dis
cussion on our program or aims.
