THE PRESIDENT'S POPULARITY. Gov. Troy, in his interviews and public utterances since his return home, has repeatedly called attention | to one fact that is significant. That is the ever- mounting popularity of President Roosevelt. The President, the Governor has said, is more popular | now than he was when he was elected in November 1832, and even when he assumed the dutjes of his high office on March 4, 1933. In this the Governor agrees with most if not all political writers. Wash- ington correspondents of newspapers of all shades of political opinion have chronicled this fact. On the eve of the opening of the current term of Congre it was stressed and not a single corres- pondent, writing on the outlook for legislation, | failed to predict that Mr. Roosevelt would control | it and get anything he asked for. The reason, they invariably pointed out, is that members of Con- gress know they risk political demise if they seek | to place obstructions in his way. | In support of this view is the mail that dalily swamps the White House from all sections of the| country. By Christmas Day a total of 1,820,000 letters and 220,000 telegrams had been received by the President.since he took office. daily average of 18,000 letters were sitating a night detail in the clerical force. course, many thousands of Christmas greetings | swelled the volume during the holiday season. Rather than attributing this great mass of mail to his personal popularity Mr. Roosevelt sees in it | 2 sign of increasing and wholesome re-awakening of public interest in the affairs of Government. Pos- sibly that has something to do with it. Yet he is too modest. Most of it comes to him because ‘the people of the United States believe in him and have confidence in his judgment, in his willingness | and ability to fight the battles of the common man. No President, it is probable, in the country's history ever possessed that confidence in such a marked degree and was so popular throughout the country at the end of his first year in office as| Mr. Roosevelt is today. They accept his “new deal” because he has voiced it in terms the average man can understand and has made them understand that it is designed to replace an old system that had failed disastrously ‘with evil consequences to millions with one that will insure a more tranquil, safer, happie and infinitely fairer one. That, we believe, is whal Gov. Troy had in mind when he told the Chamber of Commerce here that when prosperity returned it would be on a new is on which most of the evils of the old system would be entirely eliminated. | Al ALL STREET'S WEALTHY HOUSE The aura of mystery which always surrounded the fiaances and operations of J. P. Morgan & Com- pany, or “the Corner House,” as it is familiarly known on lower Mdnhattan, was completely dispelled when the Morgan ‘partners were forced by the relentless Ferdinand Pecora, counsel for the Senate Banking Committee, to reveal to the pardonably curious public their exact resources. It is no exag- geération to say that though the statement of con- ditions disclosed conservatism of banking man- agement that was a model to any bank or trust ccmpany, some of the practices disclosed, such as the preferential list of customers, did not appeal to the public at large as being altogether politic or conducive to the upbuilding of public confidence. One real surprise was the actual size of invested capital which stood at only $53,000,000 at the end of 1933, having actually shrunk from over $118,- 000,000 three years earlier. Later on, Otto Kahn and the Kuhn Loeb part- ners journeyed to Washington and gave another shock to those who had supposed that the two most a |shoots at another soldier. AMERICAN PRIZE WINNERS. The current award of the Nobel Prize in Medicine to Dr. Thomas Hunt Morgan of the California Institute of Technology brings to eight the total number of prizes given Americans in science and medicine, and three of these are for contributions for medicine, Science Service points out. The last American-won medal prize was that of 1938 to Dr. carl Landstainer of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research. Dr. Landstainer's discovery that the human blood is of four different types and that the blood of one type does not always mix with that of another type has been of tremendous importance in the life-saving operation of blood transfusion. In 1912, the prize in medicine was won by Dr. Alexis Carrol, also of the Rockefeller Institute. ' In 1907, the late Prof. A. A. Michelson, Uni- versity of Chicago physicist, won the first Nobel prize given an American. The late Prof. W. T. Richards was awarded the chemistry laureate in 1914, Other American Nobelists, all living are: Dr. R. A. Millikan of the California Institute of Technology, physics, 1923; Dr. Arthur H. Compton, University of Chicago, physics, 1927; and Dr. Irving Langmuir, Schnectady, N. Y. chemistry, 1932. Nobel prizes have been given since 1907 for con- tributions to physics, chemistry, medicine, literature and peace. In addition to a world-wide honor, they carry a cash awerd of several thousand dollars which is derived from the income of $9,000,000 bequeathed by Alfred B. Nobel, the inventor of dynamite, when he died in 1896. The recipients are chosen by Swed- ish agencies such as the Swedish Academy of Science and the Swedish Faculty of Medicine.

A writer ir Rigaro celebrates Henry de Corta, who died recently in Tonkin, a lieutenant colonel in the Foreign Legion. “magnificent. - unmanageable, violent.” He sounds as though he came from the Midi. His citations for bravery, his escapes from German prisons might have been told of others. Some anecdotes of him have an individual accent. One of his men steals his commander’s revolver and Corta makes an inquiry. After ripe reflection he sentences the culprit to Ithirty days in prison “for having made use of an article belonging to his superior officer.” He adds: Extraordinary! At this rate they will be using my razor or my shaving-brush. Put this chump who merely grazes his man at ten meters back at platoon firing again. Corta was always indulgent to his men at the |proper time. He let them get drunk on payday. |They will be on the march tomorrow and “some of them won't come back.” Once he was somewhere south of the Grand Atlas.

The sergeant didn't say (a word. The squad marched out into a solitary place. Corta orders a halt, aims his revolver at the sergeant, faces the men and says: “Eight o'clock, wasn't it, when you were going to do me? Eight o'clock it is. Go ahead.” The men don't move. “I warn you,” says Corta, “that if you miss me, I won't miss yon” Not a peep from the mutineers. Then Corta continues: “As things are, T've changed my mind. We'l settle this business among ourselves, as man to man. Sergeant!” The sergeant comes for- ward at the order. He gets a whale of a blow in the jaw, which sends him sprawling ten meters [sic] away. Man by man the same vigorous treatment by the fist is given. No more trouble. The company is “cited” three times thereafter. Corta’s motto was that of mehitabel the cat.

A man out of Dumas, legendary, and The Widow’s Might. (New York Herald Tribune.) The election of Mrs. Marian W. Clarke to suc- ceed her late husband as Representative in Con- gress from the 34th Congress District adds an- other to the growing list of widows of political leaders carrying on the careers begun by the hus- bands. The names of Mrs. Ross, Mrs. Kahn and Mrs. Rogers naturally come to mind. Doubtless, Mrs. Longworth, had she wished political office, could Have been elected to Congress to succeed her late husband. The system has brought up some excellent public servants. This is fortunate in view of the fact that it originated in a combination of sentimentality and courtesy—perhaps with the expectation that the offer of the nomination would be rejected. In most cases the widow chose to run. If she had imnortant houses of issue in the country had pos- ses od the fabulous wealth of the Indies.
