His father traced his American ancestry back to 1621 while his Indian blood went back beyond the landing of the Pilgrims As a boy Mr. Curtis loved the free lite of his In- dian kinsmen. After his grandmother Julie Poppin had sent him to his white relatives at Topeka he once returned to the having tired of the restrictions of the city in Topeka. That was his last extended v fire in the Indian settlement Julie Poppin crawled over to him and in whispered tones ordered him to return to his white relatives and become one of them because the Indians could not offer him the opportunities for success in Jife. She led him to his pony, placed him in the saddle and hit the animal a blow with a quirt The boy rode away a member of the Indian camp nty, Kansas, Kaw reservation never to return as For several Mr. Curtis put to use the skill of the Indians on horseback, riding with considerable success on various western tracks. That experience Grandmother Curtis s love of the race track and its performers nevertheless his life. While senator and vice-president he frequently visited tracks nearby Washington to indulge in his favorite recreation years thereafter as a jockey an end when his he boy's came to rted him to school persisted, throughout he was a To his last days Mr. Kansas City. There in a race he was riding Headlight, a notorious renegade horse, who bolted from the track, broke through a fence and hurled his rider over the embankment. The Kaws always remembered Curtis for a teat he | performed when he was eight years old. In June, 1868, his tribe was attacked by the Cheyennes ped through the lines of the attacking tribe and with a slab of dried buffalo meat in his pocket for food, walked 57 miles to Topeka to summon aid. Never regarded as a manm of flashing genius, Mr. Curtis was noted chiefly as one who had courage and persistence. He was one of the hardest workers in public life in Washington, getting results by his eternal diligence and never losing his temper. During his campaign for the vice-presidency he became visibly irritated only once, when he declared a man in a west- ern audience who was heckling him was “too damn dumb to understand.” When his running mate in the 1928 campaign, Herbert Hoover, made only a few speeches, Mr. Curtis covered every section of the coun- try and spoke virtually every day. Although not considered among the front rank of senatorial orators, Mr. Curtis won his start in the legal profession by an oration—his commencement ad- dress when he was graduated from the Topeka High School. His speech made such an impression upon Mrs. A. H. Case, wife of one of the leading lawyers of Kan- sas at the time, that she persuaded her husband to let Curtis study law in his office. In 1879, Curtis was admitted as a member of Mr. Case’s tirm . While a member of the House of Representatives, Mr. Curtis presided over that body upon the occasion of the visit of the late Prince Henry of rrussia. He also was a member of the House committee that drafted the gold standard act in 1900. Mr. Curtis rarely made a speech in either house of Congress. He had a happy faculty of retaining friendships in groups and factions in both branches. America mourns the passing of a real American, who served his country long and well THE N. A. M. POSITION. “The National Association of Manufacturers closed its sessions here condemning the New Deal on every count and deciding to go into politics in order to press its opposition,” remarks the New York Times. “One of the chief convention speakers proposed a political manager for every plant who would endeavor to sway employes and stockholders. With the bit in their teeth, the key man of his organization declared war ‘to the hilt’ on the government program and let it be under- stood that a large propaganda machine will soon start operating toward their objectives. “Almost any of the resolutions passed at this con- vention might be picked to pieces with little trouble,” the Times continues. “The task does not commend tself. One aspect shuts out all other considerations, ¥ namely, that such a type of thinking could persist atter the worst depression in our history.” On the day that the resolutions, tersely termed “the platform.” were adopted, the Federal Reserve Bank of * New York presented its customary compilation, which shows that third quarter net profits of 259 industrial corporations were 64 per cent larger this year than in 1934, although basic industrial production was only 20 per cent higher. ‘These figures can scarcely be used as evidence of the “unbearable governmental pressure” so roundly de- Curtis slip- | friends will regret that such opposition is now out in| the open. But when its chief spokesman, Presmentf ‘Bamo. admonishes the country that “industry, mucn} to enter the political arena,” it is not surprising that editorial commentators all over the land should dazedly | inquire when his organization has ever been out of the‘ political arena. The memory of the so-called Mulhall | congressional investigation of 1913, which obtrudedi | itself on the exceedingly busy first year of the Wilson administration seems not to have been dimmed by | Ithe years. Nor the extreme arrogance of a special| | session of this particular association held in Wash- | ling to the Roosevelt Administration just how far| it might go, but no further, in applying restoratives ! | to business. And when one of their shrillest speakers, a promi nent automobile manufacturer, bespoke fears of “bu reaucratic socialization” it is not impertinent to recall that his industry sold five times as many cars this year as in 1932. Was it unkind when Ben Marsh of the People’s Lobby inquired: “Well, if you know what to do. why didn’t you do it in 1930, 1931, 1932, and even in 1933, when you were beseeching President Roosevelt as you had implored Hoover in 1931, and while Senator |David A. Reed of Pennsylvania was bemoaning the lack of a dictator?” | Of course the answer is that Business men do not | believe in the illusions set forth by the Supreme Court | the | of the Liberty League in the platform of the National Association of Manufacturers, The vast majority business doubtless s ribe to the expressed by the venerable George Foster Peabody: “I submit that business leaders are doing great harm to the body politic, of which they should be serv- ants as truly as a | of men sentiment Curtis carried scars from in- Jjuries received in a fall over a 40-foot embankment in some 0Odd Marriage Clerk. (New York Times) The more one studies the plot of that radio tragedy | |produced and directed by the Republican Nationai Committee the more incredible it seems. The play | shows John Smith and Mary Jones applying for a marriage license and being frightened out of their wits and their wedding by the clerk of the marriage bureau. He points out to the lovers that as soon as they get married they assume a per capita debt burden of | $1,017.26. Out of his $22.50 a week John will have to pay $4.60 a week in taxes. The curtain goes down on a couple of broken young hearts. | The best drama critics will stand aghast at this. | They are all for economics on the stage, and they | {know how absurd it is to depict a marriage bureau | | clerk so blind to his own economic interests as to drive jaway trade. The legal experts will point out another | |fatal flaw. The courts have repeatediy ruled that any- ! | thing which tends to discourage lawful marriage is | contrary to public policy. If the Democrats can tind | some y of hailing the Republican National Com- mittee’s marriage clerk before the United States Su- | preme Court, he is sure to be declared unconstitutional | by at least 6 votes to 3. But that is not the worst of it in Chairman Henry P. Fletcher’s most grevious and lamentable Tragedie of the New Deal Marriage Clerk and the Hapless | Lovers. What has become of American manhood and | womanhood when a young man and woman are told by a bureaucrat that they must not marry, and they |obey without question? Think of John Adams and the future Abigail Adams being told by a jack-in-office that they cannot afford to marry on account of the government taxes. Think of a marriage clerk saying the same thing to John | Alden and Priscilla Mullens, or to John Rolfe and | Pocahontas. We can just see those early American | young women throw back their heads. The blue or brown eyes snap. They curtly beg to inform Mr. Clerk that three can live on less than two, and John and 1 and the Government will get on very nicely on $22.50 a week, thank you. Will Chairman Fletcher lay hand on heart and say he really admires that poor specimen of a regi- mented, bureau-cratized, fascisticized John Smith who will give up the woman he loves on account of a pro- | cessing tax? The thing is incredible. In ancient Assyria, an information note states, the bull was the mbol of the governing class.
