Edmund Hoyle First Professional Card Instructor Is Un
 sung Hero
By VIM. K. MCKINNEY (America's Card Authority

Edmund Hoyle, who inspired the immortal expression According to Hoyle," was the father of whist" and was perhaps the first man to make the study, teaching and writ ing of cards profession. He must have been well paid, as he gave up @ law practice, and it is said that he received a guinea 8 lesson. This was considered a good fee in 1740, when you could buy loaf of bread for a penny. Itwill always remain 8 mys- tery, however, whether he lived a life of luxury or died penniless, as there is no history of this famous man.
 Too often we play our cards mechanically. The real fun ill bridge lies in the fact that it does require thought.
 When East wins the first club trick in today's hand, if he makes the mistake of returning a club, declarer simply laws down five hearts and five diamonds, making ten tricks. The bidding has more or less indicated that South has ten red cards, so after seeing the dummy, East made a fine shift to the ten of spades.
 West cashed two spades, and when his partner played the deuce, he realized that his only hope of defeating the contract was to find East with the queen of trumps.

Roosevelt Denies
F rley Story

WARRINGTON President
Roosevelt said late Tuesday that
q Newspaper report quoting him as
saying Postmaster General James
A. Fariey's religion would be an
obstacle to Farley's presidential
candidacy was made out Of whole
cloth.
The report was presented In a
Newspaper column written by Err
nest X. Lindley. Roosevelt's biog-
rapher.
Roosevelt declared that anyone
who knew him knew he never
made such = statement about
Farley.
He said the quotation was false.
He added that the whole column
which dealt with q purported con-
versation In which the president
renowned third term plans and
discussed the democratic presiden-
tial situation, was made up out OF
whole cloth.
Roosevelt prefaced his denial Of
the Lindley column with praise for
. speech Farley made Saturday
night. In which the postmaster
general called for maintenance Of
complete religious freedom in poll
tics. The president said he thought
Fnrley's speech was perfectly grand.

bought that citizenship, as hum
dreds of thousands Of other for
eigners had done, on account of
the privileges to which 1t entitled
them after they had acquired their
papers.
And in this way. the Roman Re-
public had dug its own grave. II
had allowed its peasantry to de-
generate into a city proletariat.
And that proletariat, not Hiking its
own miserable position. had be-
come q constant menace TO the
state.
Until the last three centuries Of
the republics existence, 1t had
been safe to say that Rome was
no longer in any way democracy
but an "oligarchy, tempered by
revolt"
The stories of these quarrels be-
tween the HAYES and the have-nots
are to be found on every page Of
Roman history, once the city had
become the center Of an empire.
And they led up to such q
state Of anarchy that In the
end, the old law which states
that "autocracy Is always the
result OF bad democracy" be-
gan TO function.
Rome returned to that one-man
form of government, which this
time did not take the form of q
kingship, as 1t had done some
hundred years before. but which
this time manifested itself as a
dictatorship under a military COM
mander-in-chief who was known as
an imperator or emperor.
NEXT: On the ruins Of Rome's
Republic rose Its mighty emperors.

Her rulers had thereupon been

And those hirelings, as soon as

them Oregon. The Vice President's s
supporters are still hopeful they
may pick up majority Of the dele
gates in California, where factional
troubles exist among the Democrats
supporting the President for re-
nomination.
While Mr.. McNutt has gone on a
number of speaking trips, away
from Washington, since he took his
present Office, he has kept away
from personal political talks. He
has not disassociated himself from
mis- Federal ofi1ce-as he will when
he campaigns next month.
The McNutt supporters have felt
aggrieved over the way in which
the Internal Revenue Bureau has
let it leak out that his income was
being investigated-to see if he re-
ceived any of the so-called % per
cent club" funds.
They insist that their candidate
is not involved in any way-and they
hope that eventually some statement
will come from the bureau or the
treasury Department entirely ex-
onerating Mr.. McNutt.
McNutt Coco Campaigner.
Mr.. McNutt is a good campaigner
and his supporters are counting on
his effectiveness on his barnstorm-
ing trip, soon to be made. They
say he is by no means to be counted
out of the presidential race, if the
President does not run again.
Mr.. Farley's recent trip was not
billed as campaign trip. He did
not temporarily remove himself
from his official duties, for he spoke
at dedications of new post Office
buildings and before associations of
postal employees But Mr.. Farley

a swing into the South, which will
take in Georgia, Mississippi and
Louisiana. When his travels are
concluded he viii have visited prac-
tically every State which does not
have favorite-son candidate for
the Democratic presidential nomi-
nation.
Farley Back From Trip.
The only other Democratic can
didates for the presidential nomina-
ton who have undertaken to go on
the stump are Postmaster General
Farley and Senator Wheeler OF
Montana. Mr.. Farley landed In
Washington the end Of last week,
after a swing into the West, as
far south as Texas, and back
through several Southern States
Mr.. Wheeler has made no consecu-
tive swing into the States, but has
filled speaking engagements in all
parts of the country since his hat
was tossed in the ring by Senator
johnson of Colorado and a group of
other Western Senators.
At one time Mr.. McNutts back
ers seriously planned to enter him
in some of the presidential prefer
entlal primaries where there were
no favorite-son candidates. This
plan was upset, however, when the
Roosevelt third termers thrust the
Presidents name into New Hamp-
shire, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Illinois,
Oregon, California and several other
States. Mr. McNutt is not running
against the President. What his
friends hope is that he will run with
the approval of the President in
the end.
In the meantime the Hoosier

McNutt Will Stump
On Theory Roosevelt
Will Not Run Again
Presidential Candidate
Going on Leave With
Presidents Approval
By G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Federal Security Administrator
Paul v. McNutt swings into fast
moving campaign for the Demo-
cratic presidential nomination on
May 6.
With the approval OF President
Roosevelt he is taking a three-week
furlough from his ONCE as admin
istrator-an office to which he was
appointed by the President on his
return from the Philippines last
summer-With the full understand
ing that his acceptance of the post
would not interfere with his cam
paigning for the presidency.
In order to prevent any misunder-
standing about this campaign trip
Mr.. McNutt is going on furlough.
He will appear. not as Federal Sc
curity Administrator, but as Paul
McNutt, candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination, former Governor
of Indiana.
In formal statement issued by
Mr.. McNutt today he made it clear
that he stands on the assurance he
gave when he returned to this coun-
try Snd took the job of Federal
Security Administrator-an assur-
ance that he would not himself he
a candidate if the President should
run for denomination.
No Positive Assurance.
Mr.. McNutt has insisted, however,
that he did not believe Mr.. RooSe-
velt would run again-and on that
hypothesis his campaign has been
carried on by the McNutt- for Pres
ident clubs and committees all
over the country and particularly
by Frank McHale, Democratic ma
tlonal committeeman for Indiana,
who is his campaign manager. His
coming stumping trip will be made
on the same theory--that the Pres
ldent will not run again.
The Hoosier candidate, however,
has not, so far as is known, been
given any positive assurance by the
President he will decline to run.
However, Mr.. McNutt did discuss
his plans for furlough and a CAM
paign trip lasting for three weeks
with the President. The statement
he issued today is also understood
to have had the o. K of the White
House.
The McNutt speaking trip will
start IN Michigan. He will travel
through that State, through Illinois,
Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado New
Mexico, Arizona. California, Oregon
and Washington. On his way back
east. Mr.. McNutt will visit Idaho,
Utah, Nevada, Wyoming, Nebraska
and will bring his travels west to an
end at Waterloo. Iowa, where he
will deliver his first farm speech to
the State convention of the Young
Democrats on May 20.
