(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representativ SMALL, SPENCER, LEVINGS & BREWER (ncorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Governor ‘Bill’ Murray Politics has surrounded “Alfalfa Bil” with a glamor of radicalism ‘that he does not radiate. He is not spectacular. He does not rant, stride mor fulminate. He is not blatant or Jingoistic. He is rather more of a dreamer and political philosopher than a resounding crusader. Like modern John the Baptist or Twen- ‘tieth century Savonarola, he is calling sinners to repentance, urging them ‘to make straight the path and to leave the devious by-ways of unholy alliances. The impression he made in Bis- marck was decidedly contrary to what was generally anticipated. "Those who came for a political show, to see a super demagogue in action, setting class against class and bor- Gering on communism or socialism, ‘were agreeably disappointed. ‘They saw a long, lanky southerner > with a Texas drawl rise from his seat to give what proved to be any- thing but a radical address. His erudition and evidences of deep study of law, history and philosophy left his hearers rather speechless. They came, many of them, out of curiosity to see another political acrobat do his stuff. They did not expect any-| one dubbed “Alfalfa” to discuss the) Punic wars and point to the glory that was Greece or expatiate on the grandeur that was Rome. i He extolled the constitution with) an eloquence that would have done credit to Chief Justice Hughes or any) great constitutional lawyer. In fact “Uncle” Joe Cannon once referred to Murray as one of America’s great | constitutional lawyers. Other refer-} ences he made revealed Murray as a man of wide reading and his po- litical doctrine, while not at all times convincing, was far from ra-| dical or red. He denounced Bol-} shevism with the same ardor that he did Wall Street and the malefactors of great wealth. To a good many persons he came closer to expressing their desires and fideas of government than does the average campaigner. His was a homespun philosophy but one which was easy to understand. Tt may be that we are used to more political fireworks out here than they re in Oklahoma, but the fact re- mains that many who expected to ‘hear bitterness and abuse heaped up- on the Republican president and up- on his rivals for the Democratic nomination were disappointed. The references to Hoover were few and— for a campaign speech—charitable. First there was biting irony in his reference to what one could expect from a farm boy who was born inj Towa, educated in California and who} hhad then spent 25 years abroad, de- pendent on a paycheck from home. Later there was the reference to “poor old Hoover.” That was about all. It is more than pdssible that, as @ result of Murray addresses in this! state, we may see a larger vote in the! Democratic primaries this year—and| don't bet too much money that Mur-} | vay will not win this state's delegates te the Democratic national conven- Yon. Needless Alarm Now and then someone comments on the fact that when famous women of the year are chosen by various pe- todicals and organizations the group fg always composed of women whose activities have not been confined to homes That special promi- seems reserved for women who achieved success in some field ttle to do with bruised tarts and round red whisper children’s fun- secrets. Of course the natural answer is ‘women whose achievements are te @ larger group are the ones Who are chosen. But the fact that ter and sympathy in children’s very fact that the gracious- y homemaking is. taken as a foundation of our nation is built on solid rock. If such a trust were play- ed up as something unusual there would be cause for danger, Story- hours at candle-lighting time, lulla- bies crooned with lips close-pressed against sleepy, curly heads, rhymed voices that chant the old Now-I-Lay- Me-Down-to-Sleep . these are cornerstones of American home life. If it were an unusual thing for a woman to like the syrupy smell of boiling fruit that will make jam for her children’s sandwiches, if it were Strange for her to glory in the clean, crisp touch of white sheets, the cups 00; and saucers that stand in bright rows in her cupboard—if women didn’t love hearthfires, then there would be cause for serious alarm. It is only right and natural for some women to go into the world and toil. There are tasks for them to do And many of them keep homes as well. But the vast majority keep faith at} hearthsides, A woman's greatest, Pleasure consists, as always, in tell- ing the man she loves that it isn’t his fault that he hasn't won the laurels that he deserves ... and in telling! a little boy, who looks like his father, that of course he will win them some day. Those who are afraid that the modern woman—as women whose work are spent outside of their homes are sometimes called—has changed are doing much useless worrying. If the modern business woman were asked, and answered truthfully, it would be discovered that she is pret- ty closely related to her home-keep- ing sisters. Art'and Hard Times Hard times or no, the cause of art seems to be a flourishing one. The American Art Dealers associa- tion recently came to bat with the estimate that during the past year gifts of paintings, sculpture and facilities for art appreciation and education worth more than $136,000,- 000 were made to the American pub- lic. Most of this is made up of the opening of new museums and of pri- vate collections turned over to the public. Chief among the latter is the $50,000,000 collection of the late Henry Clay Frick, which became public property last fall on the death of his widow. A year of depression may not seem a good year for such munifi- cence. The charitable organizations could have used that $136,000,000 very nicely. Yet to criticize would be to take a very narrow view. Those art gifts will be valuable to the nation for many years to come. A Squawk from Nebraska’ Any contemplation of the farm problem is confronted, as a matter of course, by the fact that many farm products compete against each other for the customers interest and dol-| lar. This is emphasized by a plea in the interest of the meat producer now being broadcast by the farm and| home division of the University of Nebraska. It points out that fad- dism can be overdone in diet as in anything else and that its effects may be more harmful than most] idiosyncracies. | Asserting that meat has been Propagandized against, it says there is ample reason, from a health stand- point, to propagandize for it. The story, as told, is that meat is one of the cheapest of all protein foods and that it is impossible to meet the pro- tein needs of the body without some of it being from animal sources. The intention, of course, is to in- crease the consumption of meat and thereby benefit the livestock producer on Nebraska's prairies. On the whole this effort also would be worthwhile in North Dakota. Perhaps America needs to abandon some of its dietetic folderol if we are to return to normal in all respects.

(New York World-Telegram) Exchange not to lend’ securities to Shorts without the customer's per- mission, brokers proceed to seek means of circumventing the order. One brokerage firm blandly states that if that permission is not forth- coming the customer will be told to take his account elsewhere. Other brokers expect the customer to give them blanket permission to lend the stocks. Customers who give such permission should realize that in so doing their own stock$ will be used against them further to depress the value of the security. What's more, customers who give to lénd their stocks should insist on the premium which hereto- fore the broker in most instances has been pocketing. Often these premi- ums run into handsome sums. This money belongs to the customer, not the broker. ‘With public appraisal of the Stock Exchange at none too high a level, the Exchange cannot afford to have its latest order turned into a gesture by_brokers. The World-Telegram reiterates its statement of a week ago, namely, that the Stock Exchange must see that its latest order on stock lending, effective April 1, is rigidly enforced in spirit as well as letter.

Manhattan has any number of once expert horseshoe tossers, but there are all too few vacant lots and back yards for practice purposes. Gents who once held the pitching championship of Sagebrush Corners are woefully out of training. Cobb, however, has an elaborate country estate where several horse- shoe-tossing grounds have flourished. * * New “Round Table” Which reminds me that horseshoe tossing is but one of the sidelines of New York's latest organization of “celebs.” This group has named it- self the 44th Street Marching and Chowder club, which shows you the way some of the most serious people get if they stick around Gotham very long. In the list of famous members I note that Mons. Cobb is drum major and that others are Dorothy Parker, Lynn Fontanne, Alfred Lunt, Frank Crowninshield, Bill Tilden, Margaret Case Morgan and John Harriman. | They meet Sunday nights for din- ner at the Algonquin hotel, thus bringing new life into the famous old “round table.” * * OK “Old Gang” Lonesome This “round table,” ‘by the way, has; been singularly out of the picture} for more than a year. In fact, there} were tales that it had all but ex- pired and that former members of the group were to be found sitting dolefully alone or in pairs. In its membership were numbered the better known wits, sophisticates, intelligentsia, and what have you.

The theatrical hotel displayed no great concern. Recently, something resembling a counterattack could be noted in the Algonquin’s activities. One of the “tourist” attractions of Sardi’s had been the cartoons of celebrities by Gard. The other day it was stated that a famous caricaturist would start draping the Algonquin walls.

After sev- eral questions nervously asked and nervously answered she pronounced herself satisfied. There had been no discussion of salary between Ellen and Steven, but Lorene had her in- structions and Ellen, naive and ig- norant, was stupefied with delight to learn that as an assistant buyer sha would receive $50 a week. That was $30 more than a salesgirl in cretonnes received, “Are you sure it's $50 a week?” Ellen managed to say. “Perfectly sure,” Lorene re- sponded with a cryptic emfle. “In- wardly the older woman sighed a little for her own lost youth and lost enthusiasm. Years ago $30 ex- tra each week would have changed entirely the course of Lorene El- cott’s life. Now a raise meant only that she could invest a little more in safe bonds. She roused from her dream of long ago and smiled at Ellen. “I hope $50 a week will be satis- factory.” “Satisfactory? Oh!” Ellen stam- mered. “That's not the word at all. NA RTT It's simply perfect. You can’t know how perfect it is. Just wait till my mother hears this!” Then and then only a sydden doubt smote her, She flushed furl- ously. “Is there something else you want to ask?” Lorene said. “Why, yes,” Ellen conceded fn a low tone. She struggled a moment and finally got it out. “Is that the regular starting salary for agsist- ant buyers?” “It's the regular salary,” Lorene replied promptly and untruthfully. Since receiving Steven Barclay’s {n° structions Lorene, not unnaturally, had been prepared to dislike the recipient of his favor, Ellen's iano- cent, embarrassed and proud lett question had changed all that, had promptly made a place for her in Lorene’s affections, Entirely reassured, Ellen ran to telephone her mother.

When the girl re turned to the basement to.remove her belongings, she was so light hearted she felt almost giddy. Jenny was consumed with curios- ity, eager to apologize, and to make friends again, but Ellen gave her no chance. She gathered up her comb, brush and the mirror she kept tucked away under the counter. She was pretending that Jenny, Mrs. Bondy and all the others had nothing to do with her, She knew well enough that a scandalous inference could and prob- ably would be drawn from her sud- den rise in the world but she would not think of that. Nothing should be permitted to spoil her pleasure. What the others said could not af- fect her, * It could, of course. But not then. eee 'URNING away from the counter, her arms full of her small pos- sessions, Ellen walked straight into someone, “I beg your pardon!” she said quickly. “Aren't you even going to give mo @ glance?” Larry Harrowgate ex- claimed. For a second she was bewildered. ‘Then her face lighted and her heart leaped upward, “Larry!” “I've been hanging around for 15 minutes,” he was saying excitedly. “I thought you'd never come. Here —lemme help!” He attempted to relieve her of the jumbled assortment in her arms, Conscious of Jegny’s open mouth and equally open curiosity, Ellen flushed and shook her head. “You shouldn't have come here,” she safd quietly, moving away. “Aren't you glad to see me?” “Ot course I am, silly,” she told him with ag confused laugt. How handwome be was! She loved the way he kept in step with her. She loved his calm dblivious- ness to the stir they were causing on the floor, They did look a trifle odd—the handsome youth in flan- nels and the girl in workaday store costume with neat paper cuffs and sensible shoes. Ellen knew that. But she felt a delicious flutter as he explained that he had learned from Salomon where she worked day times. That must mean some thing! It would certainly mean something if anyone other than Latry were concerned. But for that herumecarum, she already knew, to have an-impulse was to obey it. “Our old friend Salomon was con- vinced my intentions were dighonor- able,” he remarked impudently, glancing sidewise at her. “I had to tell him that I only, meant to carry You off to lunch.

They had reached the elevator. When Ellen rang the bell he became convinced of her earnestness, and, at the same time, abruptly cross, “You aren’t telling me,” he be; in annoyance, “that after I've hung around in that stuffy basement all morning waiting for you I can’t take Ho to lunch because of some stupid fob!” “Just that,” she assured him, “I certainly rate with you, don’t I?

Early shoppers strag- gled inside, Ellen said a stiff good- by. For a moment she thought he meant to say something further, then he bowed coldly and moved away. Larry had destroyed her pleasure in the new job. The afternoon seemed long and dull and profitless. Lorene’s chatter and constant ref- erences to Steven Barclay grew dis- proportionately irksome, Ellen va- guely realized that she wanted to love Steven and to hate Larry and that much of her discontent and dissatisfaction with the world was due to her double failure. The real- ization did not better matters, That night at Dreamland she did not expect Larry. All the afternoon she had tried to make herself un- derstand that it was entirely pos- sible she might never see him again, So the evening was stale and flat to her; the dancing boring and her own popularity boring.

She wondered for a moment if he had been drinking. The lights had been dimmed for a moonlight waltz, The single shaft of light from the artificial moon fell across the table but his face was in the shadow. “I just wanted to know,” she re- sumed in a strained way, “what you meant by saying that we'd have to watch our step?” “Ob, that!” He laughed.
