Like other present expressions of the country’s lead- ing writers on ccommerce and finance, Mr. Thorpe conveyed & warning to business not to overdo an attitude of gloom. With faith regained, he said, “There will be a normal exchange of what each has to offer the other in this complex and vital modern society. And thrift, sacrifice and good judg- ment will not be penalized for the slothful, ne'er-do- well and the irresponsible. “We Americans,” declared Mr. Tohrpe, impetuous and impatient, and, above all, emotional. Our memories are short. Only five years ago other nations were sending commissions, private ond of- ficial, to study and report. And may I recall to you their findings.” These, he said, were that, with only seven per cent of the earth’s population, the United States had more purchasing power than all Europe combined; has created and owns more than one-half of the world's wealth; consumes one- half of the world's coffee, one-half of its tins; an equal share of its rubber, one-fourth of its sugar; two-thirds of its crude petroleum, and three-fourths of its silk. “With only six per cent of the world's acreage, this country was harvesting more than one- half of the world’s foodstuffs; it extracts 60 per cent of its minerals; has developed and uses nearly 50 per cent of its railways and electrical energy; and on its 600,000 miles of paved highways operates of auto- “are 92 per cent of the entire world output mobiles. And B. C. Forbes, noted financial editorial writer noted recently: “After all, the responsibility for bringing about better times rests just as heavily upon business leaders as upon President Roosevelt. It is the duty of every employer, of every respectable citizen, to make the best of unalterable facts and conditions, and to exert every effort to keep the country going in the right direction, economically and ‘employment-wise.” A WORD FOR FICTION. Gen. Robert E. Lee had old fashioned ideas about reading. When he heard that his daughters were finding relief from the anxieties of wartime by reading novels he wrote from camp that novel-read- ing was a waste of time, and suggested thay devote themselves to a study of the ancient classics. A knowledge of the classics in his young days was a necessary accomplishment of a gentleman. Evidently Gen. Lee felt it was good for women as well. But his idea of classics was limited to the work of Greek and Latin authors. They represented the literature of the past. It was the style as late as the Civil War to regard the past with veneration, as vastly more worthy than the present. But classic means nothing more than belonging to the first class.

How- ever, in the vast majority of cases this has noil been so. Real estate is, and always will ,be, thej basis of the wealth of the people. The bankers and | directors of great insurance companies, with the statistics before them, know this. They know, too, that to doubt the value of real estate is to doubt| A professor of literature criticises the work of the younger novelists not being well-finished.

However,! after that Canadian incident how about some way | to ascertain how many? Reforming the Machinery. (New York Times.) Senator Norris’s sincerity and unselfish desire to | improve the Government and the conditions of his | fellow-citizens have long been so evident that even the opponents of many of his theories and pro- posals have & fondness, and nobody can help having a respect, for him. If, for the moment, he has been | checked in his effort to make Presidential clections go the way of the lame ducks, he is still full of heart and hope and the reforms which, he is sure, would bring about “a more nearly perfect democ- racy.” One of these paths to perfection is the substitution in Nebraska of a small unicameral for the ordinary American bicameral Legislature. “When I die” he says, “any benefit to my country is wiped out unless I can reform, not the law, but the machinery of government.” Here, it seems to us, he falls into a common error of re- formers. As a class they seem to be persauded that by changing the mere mechanics of govern- ment they have achieved automatically an immense improvement in the Government. Modern wisdom flung away the method of electing Senators ordained by our inexperienced ancestors. Democracy may have been made more perfect, but has the intel- lectual distinction of the Senate been increased? The novices of 1787 thought they had good reasons for providing different methods for the selection of the members of the House and ate. Reform, democracy perfecting itself, has ordained that there ! be two popular houses, one distinguished from the | other only by a longer term of service, So to the old nominating machinery of caucus and convention succeeded the heaven-born direct primary. The glories of this changeling we all know. The bosses were baffled. The poor, but honest and able, candidates seldom lost. The standards of nominee for office climbed higher and higher. Senatorial primary campaigns were always Arcadian, inexpensive, above suspicion. Here again Senator Norris has had a chance to see the value of reforming the machinery of government. Yet what could be finer than the spirit of this in- | corrigible perfecter of democracy and introducer of} new machinery of government? If Washington is | { i unworthy of her opportunities, Nebraska shall go on to perfection. “This Grave Menace.” (New York World-Télegram.) Persons who appreciate the uphill road that stretches before the Senate Munitions Investigating Committee will welcome the support pledged by the | President in his message to Congress yesterday. More than one worthwhile Congressional inquiry in the past has been wrecked by wires pulled through executive departments. i The Senate Committee is going up against the strongest and toughest of vested interests, including the arms, steel and chemical industries. Some of these interests have used governments as rooks and people as pawns in an international game of profits. So it is especially reassuring to read the President's charge to the executive departments “to co-operate with the committee to the fullest extent.” | Senate ratification of the 1925 munitions trade treaty, which the President requested, would be a wholesome gesture now. But that treaty is so full of loopholes more significance is to be attached to the President's hope that the coming meeting in Geneva will agree upon a stronger convention. It is diffisult to understand why the President failed in yesterday'’s message to ask for passage of | the pigeonholed arms embargo bill, unless he has Barrington Macaulay, said Macaulay had the vast satisfaction of seeing himself become a eclassic in his own time. There were between the Greeks and the Romans and the beginning of the modern era long centuries of intellectual darkness. The world was not producing any literature of moment, and men of learning came more and more to regard the ancient writings with ost superstitious reverence. But now we haye a flood of literature, Our own English liter- ature is richer than that of any literature in any other language. ancient or modern, and some of it s truly classic. In the writing of fiction we have developed a new art. In a society of stress and strain, a novel is a refuge from the cares and troubles of every day There would not be so many of them if they did not fill a definite intellectual and social necessity. Of course, as dutiful daughters, and probably they were brought up to be duliful, for Gen. Lee said, “duty was the sublimest word” we know, the young women in Richmond dropped their novels and took to the old classics. Yet there can be no doubt they did not find in them that absorption which took their minds from the insistent clamors of war alarms about t FUNDAMENTAL VALU Are real mortgages worth nothing as Investments? That is what many a banker recently has asked. Before 1929 no one would have dreamed of such a question. Real estate represented funda- mental values. If everything else were to prove shaky, that at least was fixed and ceptain. Yet as the depression pursued its course real estate was affected. It suffered as did everything else. But real estate did not run away; it did not melt into nothingness, If it was a farm, it still is a farm, with as great a potentiality in corn and wheat as ever. If it was a residence, it still is a residence beneath whose roof people can be sheltered If it was a great city building, it still is that, with its hundreds of tenants pouring in and out in their daily work. Even if it was only a vacant lot it estate in mind an even more effective measure now in a | formative stage. Even action in relation to the | Bolivia-Paraguay conflict, where American-made munitions deal death on both sides of the Chaco— as proposed in the new Pittman resolution—will not cover future conflicts. Out of the worldwide agitation for peace and | sanity, out of our own Senate’s projected inquiry should come something more than fine phrases. The menace is great. As described by the Presi- dent: The peoples of many countries are being taxed to the point of poverty and starva- tion in order to enable governments to en- gage in a mad, race in armament which, if permitted to continue, may well result in war. This grave menace to the peace of the world is due in no small measure to the uncontrolled activities of the manufactur- ers and merchants of engines of destruc- tion, and it must be met by the concerted action of the peoples of all nations, Perhaps the most unfortunate thing about that Canadian who * became a father five consecutive times in a single day was that he had no income | tax to claim exemption from.—(Ohio State Journal.)

Plerre Dufresne clapped his old retainer on the shoulder. “A good and faitbful servant—" he intoned, laughing merrily at the detective’s discomfiture. Harper glared angrily at the im- passive Andrews. “This is a serious matter, I warn you. For the time be- ing the police are in charge of this house. Your duty as a citizen to up- hold the law is greater than your duty to an employer.” “But you lied to me, sir,” protest- ed the gaunt old man, with a davas- tating simplicity that sent his mas- ter into a fresh peal of laughter. Harper turned to Dufresne, “All right, sir, but that is not the whole story. Detective Lafferty saw this gun himself. We know it was there.” “I repeat then, that I do not own such a weapon and I have never seen it nor handled it.” % Harper bowed. “We will accept that statement, Mr. Dufresne. But we know the gun exists, that it is in this house, and with your permission we will search until we find it.” “You may search as thoroughly as you please, Sergeant.” “Lafferty. bring all the others here. | want everybody to stay in one room while the search is going on.” Dufresne carelessly selected a clg- arette. “And what do you expect to prove?” he drawled. “These cold-blooded murders were committed by some one in this house,” Sergeant Harper snapped, “and 1 intend to get at the truth, no matter whom it involves!” The household assembled in the small drawing-room, a pleasant and many-windowed room on the main floor, adjoining the breakfast-room. HIS enforced gathering was quiet enough on the surface but under- neath it was seething and boiling with curiosity and excitement. The Sergeant’s brief and uncompromis- ing assertion that the case had changed from an unexplained double homicide to an equally unexplained | doutle murder had set the house hold by the ears. One by one they denled any knowledge even of the existence of the revolver Harper sought. In the first flush of surprise they did not gather the implication that the mur- derer was not only alive but one of number. That realization dawned on them a little later and placed an awkward restraint on the conversation. Harper, Lafferty, and the two po- licemen conducted the search, hav- ing commanded the company of Mrs. ‘Whitmore, not only because she had the keys to all the locked places in the house, but also to witness that all household and individual proper- ty rights were respected. Silent and sullen, her dark brows frowning, Mrs. Whitmore accompanied the of- ficers. Four men, trained and experi- enced in such matters, can make short work of any room when the sole object in question Is as heavy and bulky as a revolver, but there were many rooms and closets in the house and Harper's methods were painstaking and thorough. He had set out with tull confidence in the success of the search. As their absence lengthened, the waiting group began to split up along lines of natural gravitation. Captain Macklin and Pierre Du. fresne sat on a window-seat. Director Connors had been ob- liged to leave, owing to the press of other affairs, and he had left with- out giving any ‘definite answer to Dufresne’s request. The taithful Andrews and the stolid, good-natured John Whitmore stood in a corner and talked together in low tones. There was a sardonic glitter in the old butler’s eyes and |a determined jut of the jaws, for he BY WALTER C.

The placid Whitmore, however, | was lost and bewildered at the turn | affairs had taken. Young Donaghy, spick and span in his tailored uniform, stood at one of the windows, apart from the oth-| ers. Busy with his thoughts, he looked out steadily and unseeingly, as if absorbed by a mental puzzle. Richard Croyden, pensive and sub- dned, idly ran his sensitive fingers up and down the keyboard of the pi- ano, turned sideways across a cor- ner of the room He fingered melan- choly little snatches of melody, soft- 1y, dreamily, his thoughts busy else- where. The first muted chords bad drawn glances of wonder and dis- approval at th: intruding of the sound of music at such a time. By the side of the piano, seated In an easy chai:, was Aline Croyden, smoking a cigarette and frowning at the swinging toe of her slipper. HE minutes dragged by inter- minably to make a quarter-hour, the quarter became a halt, the half lengthened to a full hour, and the relentless cycle started on its sec- ond lap. Cenversation succumbed to the strain and became forced and desul- tory as impatience gnawed at every one. Even Dufresne’s indignation was reduced to intermittent flashes. One hour and a halt Harper and his men expended on the search and wher he returned to the drawing room no one could tell from his ex- pression wether or not they had Mrs. Whitmore's disdainful afr ot triumph told them that the much- sought weapon had not yielded the secret of its hiding-place. Harper’s bitter disappointment “I have not found the gun but I am still convinced that it is concealed here in the house. Since no one has left, it can hardly be otherwise.” Dufresne made a gesture of dis- | missal to the servants, who prompt- | ly filed out, that they might talk over this astounding affair more un- reservedly in their own quarters. line Croyden and her husband left quietly, tactfully leaving the field clear for the discussion that must | follow. “l hope you did mot overlook ! Mrs. Dufresne’s room, Harper?” Dufresne asked insolently. “No, indeed, 1 looked there very thoroughly,” the detective an- | swered. “And what absurdity do you pur- pose next? Please don't worry about any inconvenience to my family or | myself. [ am merely the owner of | ‘this property.” Dufresne was being purposely insulting. “I have given orders that no one | is to leave this house without being | searched. We do not intend to have | this revolver carried away. Later | we may search for it again, but for | the present I shall work along other | lines that may bring the same re. | sult.” “Going out to study the snow again, 1 suppose? Or possibly to 1 look for more places where finger- prints should be, but are not. Bah, you have no case, Harper, and you know it.” Dufresne’s tones were obviously intended to be baiting, and this thought acted as a counter-irritant to the detective’s natural chagrin. “Do you think so?” was his cool re- ply. “We've just about finished with our study of the material facts. Now we take up the characters and per- | and take nothing for granted.” Eyes flashing, lips curling angrily, Plerre Dufresne turned his back on room. Captain Macklin took up his hat and overcoat. “Stay on the job, Harper, but you'd better work fast. Dufresne is a bad man to cross and he carries plenty of weight in cer- it he can.” “I'IF risk that, Captain. I think he’s so damned sure that [ can't make & case out of it that he'll let me carry on, just to show me up.” After Captain Macklin had gone, Harper called to Lafferty, and they proceeded to search the room In which the Dufresne household had waited. Lafferty asked, “Do you think any of that crowd would have nerve enough to keep that gun hid- den on themselves? Perhaps we should bhave made a personal search.” ‘Harper shook his head. “The gun would be too bulky and the risk foolish. No, the thing was hidden, and hidden well. We'll have to keep thinking about it.” (Gopyright. 1934, by Walter C.
