This year marks the centenary of the of Jules Verne who became a famous writer and, among other things, sent Phineas Fogg on an 80-days’ trip round the world. In celebration of the Verne centennial year a fifteen-year-old Dan- ish boy, Palle Huld, hgs set forth 1 alone to circumnavigate the world in forty-six days. He purposes to use only the regular lines of trans- portation, buying tickets from port to port and town to town steamship or railroad or automobile as ion might suggest. Fort, Yyears ago we read of the adventures of Phinea Fogg and marvelled at the freakish imagi ion of the great French novelist. Today we regard the trip of the Danish lad, out in the world alone, much matter-of-course that we have forgotten whether the starting point of his journey was Copenhagén or Harwich. 1y which ates for in one a which tracts to business the pro- any must come forests, and have a be successes is birth his via the oces 80 as a “RUM, RbMAN(‘E AND REBEL- LION” WERE RESPECTABLE. A new book, “Rum, Romance and Rebellion,” by Charles William Taussig, is one of the latest of the “truth revealing” historical works to at- tract attention. It purports to be a history of the rum traffic in the United States’ with par- ticular reference to its effect on the political, social and industrial life of the country. It is worth noting that the writer, generally speak- ing, limits the meaning of “rum” to that par- ticular beverage. He shows a direct connection between the rum and the slave traffic, and he says that both of them were largely centered in New England with Boston the particular port of importance The author contends that both the rum and slave dealers were regarded as re- gpectable in their days, though there was some feeling against those slave dealers that over- crowded their human freight cargoes or other- wise abused the slaves. Howev only once, he says was a Boston slave ship required to take its cargo back to Affica and that was beeause the slaves were purchased over there on a Sunday and, therefore, not properly his proper Taus- sig shows that Washington, as a business man, recognized both the rum and slave traffics as legitimate. In fact, he engaged to slight ex- tent in both. He shipped on occasion slaves that were obstreperous and unmanageable to the ‘West Indies and took rum in payment for them. And he signed contracts with workingmen that provided that they should have a daily supply . of rum with enough at Christmas and other periods of the year to drink until they were ....drank.

There is before this 70th Congress another of these bills intended to bring the 15-ton vessel and those ranging upward from that figure under the steamboat inspection service and subject to the regulations provided in that service. Various agencies have moved to block the move and have been assured that it probably will “die in committee,” yet there is no need to ta a chance. Your Congr Representa- hould be placed in pos of the facts such a move, what it would mean to you in the matter of expense, of inconvenience and downright annoyance. See to it that he hears from you. The bill js designated boat op- as House Bill No. 94, is introduced by Repr atative Fiorello H. La- Guardia of New York and is, we suppose, urged by the usual unfriendly steam v ssel interests which, seeing their field, once inviolate, invaded by the low cost operating Diesel and gas powered tugs, would harass those operators even though they cannot hope to meet their competition. But while the steam tugboat operator is hit- ting at his rivals who have been more appre- ciative of modern invention and modern methods, he in the same breath, hitting at you who operate motor boats, auxillary powered yachts, fishing boats, and work boats. He would force you, if your boat 15 tons or better, to have a master mariner's license or employ a master ‘mariner. He would force you to load your vessél down with equip- ment, unneces and cumbersome. When, in 19 this matter was brought to the attention of late General George Uhler, then head of the U Steamboat Inspection Serv- ice, he stated that it was mot the intention of the service to take in such craft as the motor boat, the yacht or the fishing vessel and that he stood ready to remit all fines levied for violations of the code. But who wants to be a.lawbreaker, even if the fine is remitted? Who wants to put up with the petty annoyance that such a procedure would involve? Who wants to wagte time and money carrying such a case throughithe wilds of steam- boat inspection service courts? It looks like another attempt to extend gov- ernment bureaucracy in this country. Permitted to do so it would take only a short time to put us in the same class with BEuropean countries, if, in fact, we aren’t there already! In this case there are no facts which show there is any need for extending the authority of the Steamboat Inspection Service to the small boat field. See to it that your Congressman hears of your disapproval of this bill. Tell him what such a law would mean to you as the owner of a yacht, a motor boat or a fish- ing vessel and ask him to use his influence to see to it that the LaGuardia bill is knocked once and for all lest its evident injustice catch the “innocents abroad.” measured the 8. No “Toppers” on Statues. (Kansas City Star.) We openly take a hand in European affairs to the extent of siding with the sculptor in the bitter controversy now in progress in Constanti- nople over equipping the statue of Kemal with a silk hat. We are sticklers for the proprieties and we recognize the “‘topper” has its place. But that place, we insist, is not dome in bronze on a statue. What know. should be done we admit we When we recall the figures in baggy trousers and Prince Albert coats in Statuary Hall in the National Captiol, we are enthusiastically for enveloping all statues in Roman togas. But when we recall the togaed statue of Washington that used to stand in front of the Capitol but now has ‘been discretely housed in a museum, we know the toga won't do. y The Enquirer does npt champion Mr. Hoover’s cause.

The fact that a woman spends as much time trying to make over her complexion and figure as she does her husband proves he is merely one of the many things that don’t suit her. If the girls, who are not built for the short ones could wear long skirts we always would know every girl wearing a long one had funny legs, but we at least couldn’t see how funny they were. Whenever we see a display of pretty silk hosiery we are thank- ful girls. always have worn stock ings instead of socks. The hose supporters for socks are anything but things of beauty, and the girls surely would look awful wearing such things with the present style of skirts." The actor who impersonates a woman these days doesn't have to make much change in his appear- ance. If science wants to make a hit with a large part of the gentle sex it will find a way of eating without the result showing on the scales. You would get tired of cake if you had it at every meal and legs were more interesting when they were a treat. One thing that saves the world from being an even worse place to live in is that most of the kide whose parents make them take music lessons refuse to touch the piano and violin after they grow up.
