His achievements c: in the course of human progress Genius buds early and flowers quickly. Extra- ordinary mental endowment or exceptional artistry of any sort is evidenced in childhood. The natural Sousa proved no exception. His at the age of 13 that United Staves Marine gifts bestowed on proficiency was so manifest he became a of member the Band. His development gained for him at 23 the position of violin in the celebrated Offenbach | Orchestra, at the conductorship of the Marine Band and at 38 the signal leadership of his own organization As a young man, Sausa attained eminence as a composer. His sobriquet of “March King” was con- ferred by foreign critics when he was 31. His out- put was diversified and prolific, including band and orchestral picces, songs, suites and operas. His crea- tions are k ment Without them, no musical library complete. Virtually all his compositions are acterized by strains. His - marches put | trumpets in the blood Fortunately for his country and for the mu world, Sousa was spared for a long life. In two wars, an organizer and instructor of Army and Navy bands, he inspired forces on land and sea With|p.ue to take charge of the great and urgent under- patriotic zeal. As band leader and composer, he carried to remote parts of the earth the joy and pleasure that comes of appreciation of the greatest and the best of all the arts In passing, Sousa leaves behind him in the worth and the multiplicity of his works a lasting monument .to his memor: ANOTHER CANCER “CURE” EXPLODED. Early last year Dr. S. G. T. Bendien, a Dutch physician of prominence, published a book in Ger- many describing a blood-test clue that he said de- tected the existence of cancer, tracing its cause to deficiency in components of the blood. He claimed remarkable success in treating patients with a serum. It is fair to him t ay he did not then claim to have discovered a at The Hague, Dr. Bendien said his researches had led him to believe and ascertain that abnormal stability of the albumen in the blood caused a disposition ‘ to cancer. He believed that every treatment should attempt to affect normal stability of the albumen and claimed this accomplished by his serum. This “cure” excitement and experts began a serious study of it. Last September, Dr. P. C. Kort 2, Director of the Cancer Institute of Amsterdam, refused his support to the Bendien remedy. Now comes a committee of cancer special- ists at the University of Utrecht, with a report declaring the “cure” to be without value either in recognizing or fighting the disease. The committee investigated the remedy for several months, making was caused considerable new experiments and tests from both the spectro-|ine income tax authorities won't spot it? metrical and serological viewpoints Thus is another hope of suffering humanity ex- ploded. But the medical profession can be depended on to continue its researches. Science does not cease its researches because of defeat, but rather extends them, learning as much by failure as by partial or complete success. The effort to find a reliable cure for like that of tuberculosis. ‘will go forward unabated often cancer, REIMBURSING THE WIDOW. Nearly three years ago Emmet J. Virkkula was shot to death in his automobile by Emmet J. White, @ United States Customs Patrolman on Prohibition enforcement duty. Every: circumstance surrounding the incident indicated the killing unprovoked and unnecessary, and that the & Government shot without regard for human life. *' In the Minnesota State courts, White was in- "dicted. Through the efforts of United States Pro- ‘hibition officials, from Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Lowman on down, who defended the shoot- dng, the case was transferred to a Federal court for drial and in due course of time White was tried ‘and acquitted. Unanimous passage by the lower branch of Con- gress recently of a bill appropriating $5,000 as com- pensation to Virkkula’s widow for his death at the hands of a Government agent practically indicts White and those who ‘aided-lim in any degree to escape punishment, and is a step toward partial righting of a grave wrong committed in the name was own the | Second and Main | few active |& a con- |ernment service, the President sent a message to Con- be emulated, | but such talents as his are but seldom duplicated | | |wieldy Government T |of the United States.

But in this coincidence there is nothing suspiciously political. The subject is one which Mr. Hoover ‘has loften pressed upon public attention and upon Con- gress. . The movement for administrative reform |dates, in fact, far back. Congress itself has worked at the job. Senator Smoot headed a committee which spent months in ascertaining the facts and whigh made a report recommending many changes |—sole of them like those now proposed by the | President. But little or nothing has been done. Be- |yond consolidating the various bureaus for veterans, and concentrating law-enforcement agencies in the Department of Justice, no real reorganization has been seriously attempted. Yet the immense and un- bureaucracy fairly cries aloud for reduction and recasting. Mr. Hoover puts the case well. There is today an intolerable amount of overlapping and inefficiency and waste in the execu- tive departments. If the system were taken in hand as it would be in the case of any great business nown wherever there is a musical Instru- foouiq be dispensed with, and millions could be saved can be while enhancing instead of lessening the efficiency char- jof the Government | of the Federal |trades has to keep slyly out of sight when it is . |ity to him to propose desirable consolidations and, | fcal | With the consent of Congress, to effect them.

The play will be praised by everybody, but uncounted obstacles, personal and political, will be thrown in the way of its execution. This has been the invariable experience in the past. Whenever a scheme has been put forward to abolish needless officers, to check Government agencies and bureaus in their constant tendency to expand their functions and to call for higher appropriations,” powerful in- To create a new commission or to enlarge an old one is easy. To extinguish it when it has become obsolete or too costly—that is the difficult and al- most impossible thing A similar opposition will undoubtedly spring up against introducing order and ecoonmy into the Government service, whether by the President or by Congress. But if it ever is to be overcome, it should be and can be at a time when the most stringent lcutting down of public expenses has become im- per: So it is to be hoped that both Mr. Hoover \id Congress will roll up their sleeves and sharpen their knives. The country will accept and act upon Like the man who was asked will be willing to say that it has been straitened by circumstances—take the phrase how you will. Why Not “Booze Bonds?” (New York World-Telegram.) Coax money out of hoarding. That's one Administration slogan. We suggest another:— Coax money out of HIDING. Why not a special bond issue—and it needn't be “baby” one, either—to tempt forth some of the millions of dollars of wealth that bootleggers, rack- eteers, grafters and prosperous capitalists in like circles conceal in tin boxes and mattresses, where True, now and again one of these big income hiders gets into trouble and the Federal tax agents pounce on him. But the few that get caught give only a faint hint of these huge volumes of cash that are not so much hoarded as hidden. In, around and behind the North Atlantic rum runners convention at Halifax must be thousands of United States citizens fairly burdened with United States currency that they would be only too glad to invest in some discreet, inconspicuous way. Why not make it easy for them? Why not offer them a special series of non-taxable, high interest “booze bonds” to be sold in speakeasies and no ques- tions asked? “Racketeer 6s,” “Grafter T'.s,” Hijacker 8s" ought to sell like hot cakes if advertised in the right quarters, It's a shame so much money made in some of the country’s biggest and most flourishing present badly needed in circulation!
