Tam- many has a first-class row within its own ranks and a fusion ticket is seeking the defeat of two slates re- cruited mostly from men who usu- ally fight and bleed under the Tiger's banner. As far as the candidacies of O'Brien and McKee are concerned, the fight seems to be for the control of the spoils, with the Roosevelt ad- ministration secretly aiding McKee. LaGuardia, the fusion candidate for mayor, is @ former Republican con- gressman and his success hardly fits in with the Democratic scheme of political control. Big “Jim” Farley feels that if there is any house clean- ing to be done within the Democratic ranks of New York city, a Democratic rather than a fusion - Republican broom should be used. The Literary Digest, whose polls have ben fairly accurate in the past on national affairs, has entered the picture. Its publishers started a poll before McKee announced his candi- dacy. In the first returns, Mayor OBrien showed up so poorly that some of the Tammany leaders had the cold jitters. Mayor O’Brien, in the Digest figures, loomed up as a Jonah on the ship and LaGuardia appeared in the picture as the aveng- er of the tax-bled populace of New York city whose public coffers are empty and whose credit is gone. Then genial James Farley, he of the soft voice and fine Italian hand, made a hurried trip to New York and called a few boys into secret conclave. They were told that Mayor O'Brien could never make the grade and that the Democrats, to win as a party, must give Tammany the gate. They were told the ancient political ark, the craft of many a valiant on- slaught, was leaky and loose in the joints, absolutely unseaworthy for this campaign at least. Immediately many of the Happy Warriors began to buckle on life pre- servers, water wings or what was handy and made for safety islands under the disguise of Independents, with McKee as their candidate. McKee had refused for months, while the reformers were at work to oust ‘Tammany, to accept a fusion nomi- nation. Fortified behind a $50,000 a year Wall Street job, he told Sea- bury and the crew which wrecked ‘Tammany and sent Jimmy Walker to southern France that he (McKee) ‘was through with sordid politics. But O'Brien's weakness threatened Democratic control of the greatest patronage counter in the world—New York city—as well as a war chest which has enabled Democrats in the past to elect governors of New York ‘and maybe presidents of a nation. ‘That just_could not be. What Mc- Kee was told no one will ever know, but he came forth clothed in a white robe, waving a burnished sword and denouncing his old Tammany team- mates in torrid terms. McKee is the man who was 50 popular at the last election. Al- though not a candidate some 250,000 people wrote his name on the ballot. He had succeeded Walker when the Playboy of Gotham resigned. McKee in his short regime instituted some reforms which pleased New Yorkers generally, but offended Tammany leaders particularly. Up to his suc- cession to the throne, McKee had FE fee eeae Let Us Know All Tt needs to be emphasized again that the disclosures of the senate banking committee’s investigation are important, not so much because they occasionally reveal unethical actions by men in high positions, but because |they give us an insight into the way in which fortunes are piled up by turn for the money which society gives them. Currently, for instance, we read of 7.20 ® banking house which organized an 00 |investment trust in 1924, obtaining for $100,000 stock that later was val- ued on the Stock Exchange at $36,- 000,000. We read of a banking house getting a $2,000,000 commission’ for firm buying investment trust stocks for 20 cents a share and selling them, later on, for $55. These things, of course, happened in the easy money days. It is im- Portant that we find out about them. Not otherwise can we understand the true weakness of those much talked- of boom times, Repeal’s Surprises No one of a speculative turn of temperament can read the returns trom the different states on the re- Peal question without thinking what ous wet could have made for himself @ year ago. It might have seemed safe, last year | at this time, to bet that the prohibi-; tion law would be modificd somehow | within a few years. To have gone| any farther than that would have seemed, to most people, very foolish. Any man, for instance, who had cared to bet that such states as Maine, Virginia, Arkansas, Texas, and In- diana would have voted for repeal of the eighteenth amendment before the end of 1933 could have obtained al- most fantastic odds, The whole trend of sentiment, as revealed by the progress of the vot- ing, is a surprise. A year ago the| Prohibition amendment looked like a bastion that would be years in the conquering. Today it is crumbling like a sand house in a rain storm. The salesman with a speech impedi- ment finds it hard to sell goods, which is true of the business that suffers the speech impediment known as failure to advertise, The folks who dump their rubbish in conspicuous places, are doing everything possible to prove that their home has no taste.

They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree With The Tribune's policies, Humor and Humor (Washington Star) All the thousands of so-called “fun- ny stories” which enjoy circulation and popularity in the world may be said to be subject to classification un- der one or the other of two heads, There are the stories which imply dis- comfort, pain or sorrow for some one, and there are the stories which are innocent of any such connotation. For example, there is the oft-re- peated tale of the man who fell off his bicycle. As he rises from the street, a woman passerby blandly says to him: “Mister, please do it again. My little boy didn’t see you the first time.” That, it may be suggested, is @ cruel story. Then there is the yarn which is: told of the great American painter, Winslow Homer. A New York man, it is said, went to Prouts Neck to catch @ glimpse of the famous artist. After wandering about for a time, he met @ poorly dressed man carrying a fish- ing pole, and in desperation stopped him with the remark: “I say, my man, if you can tell me where I can find Winslow Homer I will give you a quarter.” The man considered, then replied: “All right, where’s the quar- ter?” After the coin had changed nands, he drawled: “Well, you're look- ing at him. I'm Winslow Homer.” Granted the point is a trifle acrid, the anecdote has no sadistic taint. But “funny stories” can be alto- gether devoid of painful character. It is related that William Howard Taft, while Chief Justice of the United States, one day was walking to his of- fice in the Capitol when a very wet and bedraggled mop suddenly ap- peared in his path. It had slipped from the hand of a woman who had been washing the front steps of her house, a residence standing on a ter- race above the street. Mr. Taft took in the situation at a glance. Then, still dignified and with no more smile than he habitually wore, he stooped, picked up the sickly-looking mop, and gently carried it up to its owner. Lift- ing his hat, he continued on his way. A neighbor, witnessing the incident, hurried to explain: “That was the for- mer President of the United States.” The lady of the mop was not unduly im pressed. “He’s a gentleman, just the same.” Which, notoriously, was quite true, of course.

Address Dr. William Brady, THE LONG SMOKES ARE THE BEST According to analyses made by the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station four years ago the popular brands of pipe tobacco contain from 1.45 to 2.84 per cent of nicotine, while popular brands of cigarettes contain from 1.06 to 3.11 per cent of nicotine. Various brands of tobacco, cigars and cigarettes» purporting to be “denico- tinized” were found to contain from 0.67 to 2.26 per cent of nicotine, prac- tically no less than plain tobacco. But who knows whether it is the nicotine or the pyridine or the car- bon monoxide or the ammonia or other substance in tobacco smoke or in tobacco that does the harm? No- body. One doctor's opinion is as good as another's. Studies of the effects of tobacco smoke have indicated that some of the nicotine in tobacco is burned up and destroyed before the smoke en- ters the smoker's mouth. Only a part of the nicotine enters the mouth with or in the smoke. The drier the tobacco the more nicotine destroyed by burning. If the tobacco is moist the smoker gets more of the nicotine, according to Dr. W. E. Dixon, of Cambridge. { The amount of nicotine in the; smoke from @ thin or slender cigar is} less than the amount in the smoke) from a fat and thick cigar. More) nicotine reaches the mouth of the smoker of a given weight of tobacco in the form of a cigar than in the smoke of the same weight of tobacco in the form of cigarettes. Probably the least nicotine reaches the mouth of the pipe smoker, provided the pipe is clean and dry. condensation of some of the nicotine in the smoke, so that the smoke which enters the smoker's mouth will con- tain less nicotine than would be pres- ent in the smoke of the same cigar or cigarette without a holder. A long stem is advisable for the pipe, for the same reason, There is more than facetiousness in the idea of using a long stem so that the smoker keeps away from 5 The foregoing observations are based on the studies of Dr. W. E. Dixon, published in the British Me- dical Journal, Oct. 22, 1917. I repeat, we do not know definitely whether the effects of tobacco are due to the nicotine or to other sub- stances in tobacco or in tobacco smoke. In my own opinion the carbon mon- oxide in tobacco smoke is at least worthy of consideration as a probable factor of the toxic effects of tobac- co, both chronic and acute. ‘These observations tend to confirm a view I have long held, namely, that pipe smoking is the least harmful of the three habits. Certainly pipe smoking is as enjoy- able as any other method of using tobacco. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Birthmark Baby, 10 weeks old, has birthmark.

Revolution Is Visioned in Railway Operation +» Old Pennsylvania Avenue Faces Loss of Its Prestige This column, “The New Deal in Washington,” is being conducted by Willis Thornton, during Rod- ~ ney Dutcher’s vacation. | BY WILLIS THORNTON j (Tribune Washington Correspondent) | Washington, Oct. 13—As the Su- jpreme Court convenes again, to sit until May or June, attention is focus- {ing on the “nine old men” who are almost certain to have to make vital Hota in the New Deal social legis- lation. Justice Brandeis is within a month of his 77th birthday on Nov. 13. By the, way, Princeton University Press will celebrate the day by publishing a new book which will show how many of Justice Brandeis’ dissenting opin- ions have won acceptance in Congress and in the Supreme Court itself. Ages of the other’ justices are: Hughes, 71; Van Devanter, 74; Mc- Reynolds, 71; Sutherland, 71; Butler, 67; Stone, 61; Roberts, 58, and Car- dozo, 63, That's a total of 613 years of ac- cumulated wisdom (or prejudice, ac- cording to your point of view) and sets definitely the average age of the “nine old men” at 68. , COURT IS NOT ALMIGHTY Consideration already is being giv- en here to what would happen if the Supreme Court went the limit and threw out all the New Deal legisla- tion, lock, stock, and barrel, as un- constitutional. There would be undoubted incon- venience and confusion, but Congress would not be as helpless as many re- signedly believe.
