The comparatively advantageous
display given in the press of the
death of Mrs. Piske over the divorce
of Norma Talmadge may have ap
peared to be a victory of the legi

it came about from considerations
altogether different. It came about
because Mrs. Fiske's death was as
sumed to be definite and final. The
movie divorce was neither.
:o:
This really is a funny world. For
instance, if a man should walk up
the street in zero weather with a
new straw hat on his head it would
be ample evidence to send him to an

ever, and it results in nothing but
admiration from the men and envy
from the women.

NOBODY DARES COMMAND
Great crises, it has been said, al
ways produce great men to deal with
them. Not this one.
Neither in politics nor business
has a great leader came forth. In
both fields the people have cried and
prayed fcr able leadership, but in
vain.
It is possible to advance a number
of explanations of this dire lack of
supreme leadership. One is that
democracy in these latter times is a
virtual denial in terms of the possi
bility of masterful leadership.
So universally has democracy per
meated that what leadership we have
persists only because Its possessors
know how to lead under the guise
cf equal fellowship. ' Nobody dare
command, and so there are no com
manders except in petty circles. We
hava many bosses, but none who will
boss bosses. The severest boss is
merely a good fellow among bis kind
He is, despite his authority, a demo
crat at heart.
We have no great leader because
we will not follow. It has been well
paid that leadership implies fellow
ship. Democracy provides no follow
ers. The Magazine of Wall Street.'

HIGn-MOTDEDHESS
OF J0TJETT SHOUSE
It is pleasant to think or the high
mindedness which Mr. Jouett Shouse
has introduced into the democratic
national headquarters in Washing
ton. Some people appraise Mr. Shouse
as a very accomplished practical
politician who serves the interests of
Mr. Raskob and Mr. Smith and re
sists the progress of Mr. Roosevelt
But Mr. Shouse has explained fully
that the goal upon which his eyes
are unswervingly set is the nomin
atlon by the democratic party of a
candidate fitted to cope with the is
sues that confront us at home, in
Europe and in Asia. For, says Mr.
Shouse, with the moderation that
attends high-mindedness, "in all
probability" the democratic "nominee
will be elected. .
To the end that the democratic
party shall be free to select as its
candidate the man possessed of the
best equipment to deal with condi
tions as they may appear in June,
Mr. Shouse proposes that uninstruct-
ed delegates be chosen by the sev
eral states, and that they be men
and women of the finest type. Of
ccurse, it may be said by some of the
friends of Governor Roosevelt that
adoption of the theory of Mr. Shouse
would effectually prevent the gover
nor's managers from carrying out
their plan to enter the convention
with so large a body of delegates as
lo start the bandwagon rolling atl
the very moment the temporary,
chairman's gavel falls. But certain-!
ly no friend of Mr. Roosevelt will
argue that Mr. Shouse should cease
to be high-minded simply because
high-mindedness does not run par
allel to the advancement of the
strategy evolved by the governor's
managers. And does not Mr. Shouse
demonstrate to the governor the con
sistency of his high-minded indif
ference to every personal ambition
by himself forswearing all pursuit
of office? The rooster applies to him
self the rule against stepping on
toes, equally with his application cf
the rule to the horse.
It would be better, everyone will
agree, if it were possible for unin
structed delegates of the finest type.
whom Mr. Shouse would have the
states send to the national conven
tion, could meet on the Monday be
fore the election in November to se
lect the presidential candidate, in
stead of next June. If that could be
done, the delegates would be in even
better position to choose the candi
date with the best equipment to deal
with the issues at home, in Europe
and in Asia which will confront him
in his administration beginning on
March 4, 1933. But Mr. Shouse, in
his high-minded way, has done the
best that is practicable in calling for
uninstructed delegates to meet in the
coming June. And we shall be griev
ously disappointed if any of the
friends of Mr. Roosevelt profess to
see in this exalted policy anything
remotely resembling a device to strip
him of delegates. Baltimore Sun.

2L LAVAL GIVES UP
The resignation of the Laval min
istry, as a result of an adverse vote
in the senate, suggests that the
French political system is becoming
increasingly unstable. Even when a
defeat in the senate was not consid
ered cause for resignation, the cham
ber of deputies' habit of shifting its
allegiance, with no apparent reason.
produced sufficient confusion. But
now that both the recent Tardieu
and Laval ministries seem to have
recognized a corresponding authority
as being vested in the senate, the
chances of future governments are'
even more unsettled.
Under the French system there are
no fewer than a dozen parties in
the chamber of deputies and about
half as many is the senate. None of
these possesses a majority and a
government, in order to function,
now must have a combination of
parties behind it in both houses. But,
with one or two exceptions, the par
ties in the senate do not correspond
to those in the chamber and are not
nationally organised. The result is
a Chinese puzzle for the man called
to form a ministry; because he must
be able not only to work out a com-!
promise program among his support-:
ing parties but to satisfy them withi
the right number of ministerial posts.
It is evident that this system, es
pecially now that the senate is be
ing taken into account, demands po
litical Jugglery of a high order. It
will be interesting to see how M.
Laval's successor will manage, in
view of the tact the former premier
Is reported still to have a majority in
the chamber' of deputies. But what
ever happens in France's domestic
affairs, there is little likelihood of
any considerable change in her for
eign policy. That is certain to con
tinue cautious and nationalistic
A SALES TAX ON THE WAY
As consideration of ways and
means to increase the revenue con
tinues, -there is increasing accept
ance of some form of sales tax as
A sound and productive method of
helping to meet the treasury deficit.
When this first was urged by the
administration it was given little
countenance by leaders in congress
Cut the deficit has gone on increas
ing. Study of the financial condi
tion, of the economic stale of the
country, of the continuing decline in
income tax revenues, have forced the
conviction that other sources of rev
enue are not adequate to the im
perative needs of the time.
The higher income rates cannot
with prudence be greatly advanced.
The lowering of exemptions so as
to bring in additional income tax
payers is another unpopular proced
ure, but probably -w ill have to be in-
eluded in the new measure. All tax
ation As unpopular. Congress may
give the country the satisfaction of
knowing that it has provided for
the balancing of the budget and the
re-establishing of the government on
its traditional, sound basis. But It
fa not going to make the individual
taxpayer happy.
Two plans for a sales tax are
now under consideration. The ad
ministration favors excise taxes on
certain selected luxuries or semi-
luxuries. The house committee is in
clining toward a manufactures sales
tax.
Whichever method is adopted, the
tax will produce an important addi
tion to the revenue without bearing
heavily on the taxpayers who finally
will have to pay it.
:o:
Pride goeth, etc., etc. Well, the
other evening a local woman decided
she needed an evening out to streng
then her morale. She spent the aft
ernoon at a beauty parlor, put on
her best clothes, got her husband in
to his Sunday suit and a clean shirt
and motored with him to the best
hotel in a nearby town for dinner.
She swept into the dining room feel
ing like the queen of Sheba, no less,
until the head waitress said to her,
"If you're eff the bus and in a hurry,
I'll see that you're served promptly."
:o:
There always is someone in
community who is always adding
fuel to the flame by saying that this
will be an off year because of the
presidential campaign. And that is
a good thought for a bench warmer
at that.
