After thirty-five years at sea, Com- modore Ierbert Hartley of the United States Lines and master of the steam- :shlp Leviathan has resigned his com- mand for the purpose of entering busi- ness. His explanation of this surpris- | ing course is that he has not had a ihome since he was eighteen years of age and now wants one. An opportunity has come to him to leave the sea for a shore occupation and he accepts it for the sake of his family. It is unusual for a man in the prime !nr life — Commodore Hartley is only | fity-two—to leave a profession that has | occupied him continuously. | more exceptional for the scafaring man Motorists of the National Capital are 0 Quit the element that has become | | his arena of activit ;lm‘e the sca, despite its peril treachery, its responsibilities. “Jack | ashore” is almost invariably uneasy to return to the decks.

THIS AN “Still waters run_deep.” Perhaps the truth of this old saying | 1s never better demonstrated than in the process commonly known as “bawl- ing out” some one or other. The man who says little beforehand is likely to administer the most severe verbal clastiscment, just as the fellow who fun®s and frets generally ends up by being “as nice as pie.” Take J. Henry Gearshift, for instance. a good fellow. a hail- and all that sort of thing. His growl is worse than his bite. | To hear him run on, however, one would think that he tore men limb from limb. “This blankety-blank thing won't | work!” he fumed. looking down at some apparatus that simply had worn out. “Why, they told me when T bought this blankety-blank thing that it would last a lifetime, and here it is out of order within five years. “I might have known it—never got anything worth while at a reduced price yet. Let me see. I got 10 cents off the price of this thing. didnt I? “Well, now I am paying for it. all right. 1 am going to look that chap up, and give him——" What Mr. Gearshift intended to give the salesman was the name of a place | commonly not mentioned in polite so- ! ciety.

Gearshift went on, “I'm | going to take this thing back to him | and demand my money back. I'm going to let him have it right this time “There are too many of these swin- dlers around this town.

Gould Lincoln, Out of the South comes a report of | Al Smith strength from Texas, the largest State in the Union and the most populous of the so-called solid South. The Houston Democratic committee s adopted, it is sald, a resolution in- ing the New York Governor for ident and extolling his services, and coupling Gov. Dan Moody of the Lone Star State with Smith as his running mate. The resolution brought a fight in the committee, however, and the idea that Smith is to run away with the Texas delegation, 40 in number, to the Democratic national committee is at | present somewhat, far-fetched. How- ever, if Al Smith has support in the Texas delegation at the coming con- vention in Houston, it may be consid- cred a distinct gain for him, although some of the members of the delegation in 1924 were favorable to him. In the | Madison Square Garden convention the | Texas delegation stuck to McAdoo to the bitter end. But the delegation operated under the unit rule then and is likely to do so again. 1 The fact of the matter is, there is | no little wet strength in Texas. The | drys had a real fight to put prohibition | across in that State, and the old wet strength, plus those Democrais who be- | lieve that Gov. Smith is the Democrats' best bet for the presidency this year, is giving the New Yorker real strength in | that State, it is said. | The report which first cam ton was to the effect that the ocratic executive dorsed Gov. Smith erable surprise d For the State execu- tive committee, composed of thirty-one members representing all parts of the State, is a powerful and representative | committee. But it now appears there was no meeting of the executive com- | mittee at all; that the meeting was of | he local committee in Houston, and | | that the resolution indorsing Smith was finally adopted by a group of members of that committec, after there had been | a row in the tull committee, | % % % | Senator Tom Heflin's attacks in the | Senate on Gov. Smith and the Catholic Church are stirring up Smith's friends and also his encmies in the South. lany of the Smith supporters feel that these attacks are aiding Smith in a section of the country that has been and is hostile to the nomination of the | New York Governor. Whatever the final | result, there no doubt that Sen- | ator Heflin has dragged the religious | !issue into the political arcna by the s, and it is likely to there. The nator threatens to continue his attack on Gov. Smith. There is no doubt whatever of his in- tention to make the religious issue par- amount in the preconvention campaign and in the convention itself. The ef- forts of the Democrats to harmonize the differences between the two wings |of the party at the recent Jackson day dinuner are threatened with failure if Mr. Heflin succeeds in his present cam- paign. The Hoover sident boom as- sumes larger and larger proportions in | New York. A real Hoover organization is getting under way in the State, h politicians decidedly practical at head. In 1920, wher knocked at the door of the Republican national convention, there. was a dearth of the | practical politicians in his_camp, al- though he had great popularity even then with the rank and file of the voters. His lack of political support has been urged many times this vear as the reason he could not be elected. But the | picture today is vastly different from that of 1920.
