rs Years On
Broadway

The Beale Street Blues was
W. C. Handy'S latest and most
popular composition when he
decided to move his publishing
business from Beale Street to
Broadway. That was twenty
five years ago when the Pace
and Handy Music Company in
troduced "a Good Man Is Hard
To Find to Tin Pan Alley. Men
were scarce. We were fighting
World War l.
Handy had had bad luck with
the Memphis Blues, then pub
lisehd by the Joe Morris Music
Company. Strange as it may
seem Handy Bros. Music Co.,
Inc. now occupy the same suite
Of rooms that Joe Morris Music
Company used when they pub
lished the Memphis Blues. st.
Louis Blues was just as good
then as it is now, but the people
didn't know it. II sat in the Pal
ace Theatre" says Handy, 'list-
ening to Marion Harris in her
superb rendition of st. Louis
Blues when a fellow touched me
and asked me what she was
singing about. At the time
wrote this tune I also wrote

in $4,000 royalties from phon-
ographs. 1 changed yellow Dog
Rag" to read yellow Dog

with Harry Raderman's laugh

One morning l came to the
Office needing $4,000. There were
two hundred letters on my desk

money I needed so much. Later
I discovered an unopened letter

about $25,000.00 phonograph

year the Dixieland Jazz Band
made a Victor Recording of "St.

it's merry way with a record Of
more recordings than any Am

ly started "St. Louis Blues" was
Handy's uncanny knowledge of
the value of printers ink. On
the first copies he had printed
"The First Successful Blues

Widely Known Ragtime Com

so, that if this is printed on
enough copies the people will

Lost AIchiba Returns
To Navy Service Soon

Stricken from the Navy's ship list
last December IL, the 8,658-ton
cargo vessel Alchiba soon will be
ready again to carry supplies to
American forces.
Her commanding officer, Capt
James S. Freeman, and her execu-
tive officer, Comdr. Howard r. Shaw,
have been decorated for their part
in saving the ship. The former re-
ceived the Navy Gross and the latter
the Silver Star Medal.
The vessel, according to the Navy,
participated in the initial landing
operations in the Solomons Island
area August 7, 1912, and though at
tackled by high altitude bombers and
torpedo planes, she successfully land
ed supplies and equipment for the
marines who had invaded the island.
However, on her fourth trip to the
Islands, November %, she was tor
pedoed after putting down her anchor.
Numerous gasoline and ammunition
explosions followed, and the vessel
was beached, but her crew unloaded
the stores after putting out the fires.
Then the vessel again was torpedoed
as she lay on the beach.
The Navy Department formally
announced her loss on December IL,
1912. But within a month she was
floated and removed to sheltered
harbor. There temporary repairs
were made, and the ship returned to
the United States under her own
power and now is undergoing repairs.

ton; it, therefore, injects him into
the last one.
But the News explanation simply
can't be so. A Fortune poll last
June showed that 70.4 per cent of
the people Endorsed the Presidents
conduct of the war, while an Amer
lean Institute of Public Opinion poll
in July showed that 73 per cent in
dorsed his handling of foreign pol
icy. The News is in the minority,
and it is trying to saddle the ma
jority with its own minority reasons.
It's side won, but 1t, too, doesn't
really know why. .
Why, then, did the Republicans
win? Is the reason statistical, so
to speak; based on the fact that
nearly 20 per cent of the electorate
believe it or not is in uniform,
and did not vote, and that this
forced abstention of younger men
and workers, lately turned soldiers,
hurt the Democrats somewhat more
than it hurt the Republicans? Or
is the reason for the Republican
victory the fact that almost 10 per
cent of the electorate has lately
changed its address, hunting for
war jobs? I don't know. 1t would
take careful statistical studies to
find out. l do not think such studies
could fully account for Nation
wide trend now five years old.
What's New, in Five Years:
Five years! That phrase rings
bell What has been the chief do
mestic change OF the last five years
apart from the war? (And the polls
show that war helps Roosevelt po-
litically. rather than hurts him)
Why, the chief domestic change of
the last five years has been 4,
rising income level, in all groups
In the case Of; farmers, we can
almost. plot on a chart their decline
of interest in the Democratic party
as their financial status improved.
Is better economic weather Repub-
lican weather? Is something like
that the bottom of the election, a
growing conservatism, now that the
income level is high? Were the
people saying at the polls that
nothing hurts them much. economi-
cally?.
II So there is something inexpress-
IDLY sad at the bottom OF the cleo
ton. a kind of prayer for stability.
would be troubled and thoughtful
about that II / were a political party.
Neither party is responsible for the
income level and the income level
seems to tell a somewhat clearer
story than do the dazzled pundits
of both.

your choice. Both explanations are
vague and really cancel each other
out.
Mr.. .Willkie says the people are
tired. very tired, of the national
! administration. That analysis runs
into head-on collision with For
tune poll of last June, which dis
closed that 64.8 per cent of the cleo
>torate favored the reelection OF
Mr.. Roosevelt for a fourth term
If the. war were still on. If the
+, people have become tired of F. D. r
since last June. they have become
tired awfully fast. The analysis
just doesn't add up.
Don't Know Why They Won.
Mr.. Harrison Spangler, national
chairman of the GPO, says the
people want to go back to, the
American way Of life. meaning his
way. But the Republican New York
Herald Tribune thinks the people
want to 60 forward. and that they
now regard the Republicans as the
progressive party. Again, check and
cancel out.
+ In New York State, Gov Dewey
says the victory was local, while
Mr.. Wfilkie says 1t was national.
Check and cancel, once more. OF
course, Mr.. Dewey, as Governor. is
a local figure. while MI. Willkie,
as titular head OF the party, Is
very national, and each man may
be speaking the piece best suited
TO his own position. But, more and
more, we find ourselves forced to
the Strange conclusion, that while
the Republicans certainly won
handsomely. they do not really
know why they won.
What about the non Republican
Roosevelt opposition? The New
York Daily News, which is isolation
list, and nom Republican, thinks the
people showed annoyance at the
polls because the administration
chose to invade North Africa instead
Of Japan.
The News seems so anxious to run
Gen. Macarthur for President that
it can hardly wait for the next cleo
