UTAH if: Jfr SEEN-HEA- RD around th National Capital iBjr CARTER riELD I During the next few Washington. months President Roosevelt will Sfein to b moving little toward tbe right. on every Issue of any consequence ex cept the public utilities. Actually there will be very little change, frui tie ap pearance will seem very Important, and there will he loud cries from the radicals. In fact, the left fringe of the brain trust Is already disturbed. So much co that It Is feeding out propaganda Intended to have a direct effect on Roowvelt personally. It Is certainly not Intended for anyone else, for the last thine these particular radicals want to do Is to hurt him. The trou ble with them Is that they have not analyzed the higher politics of the sit oatlon. They are worried about an eddy Instead of the main course of the river. And their conversation Is ao free, at all times, that even If the President was concerned about their attitude he would not dare tell them. For In that case they would not be able to rest until they had told their favorite column conductors. Just to show they were still In the "Inner circle" and knew what was going on. The present situation starts, not with the President, but Inside the Repub lican camp. Yes strange as It may seem there Is still such a thing. The Republicans, not all of them but some of their strategists, are simply delightr Cough- ed With the Iluey lln situation. What they want more than anything else In the world is to nee a third party a very radical third party with a Presidential ticket In the field next year. Their theory Is, of course, that this radical party will garner a few electoral votes Wisconsin, the Dakotas, possibly Montana, and maybe Washington and Nebraska; that It will poll a very large vote In some of the big eastern states such as Massachusetts. New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois enough votes In this Inst group to make sure that the Republican candidate would walk off with the electoral votes. They are not worrying about Connecticut which stood by Hoover, although the majority was very small, nor Rhode Island, which has suffered so In Its textile industry that Republicans feel It Is "in the bag." . Long-Fathe- See California Safe Nor are they worried about Califor nia, whose big electoral vote Is now so essential. The Golden Gate state's rejection of Upton Sinclair, and Its outraged protests about the reciprocal trade treaties, makes them sure of It Altogether, they think, their only problem Is to get the right candidate and the right platform! Of course. In the Roosevelt view, that Is Just where they fall down hard. Who, Roosevelt's friends Inquire, cynically, would the candidate beT And what could the platform say? Rut It has never been part of any Roosevelt strategy to underrate an opponent, nor to leave any stone unturned Just because It did not seem necessary to move It As witness the efforts In last fall's election. So Roosevelt Is maneuvering Into his favorite middle ground position, between the Tories and the radicals. And to make this more secure, he Is going to seem a little conservative for a while. He confidently expects to scare the Republicans to death by this course, for the natural reaction will be Just what they have been planning, with one Important exception, Roosevelt plans to have the radicals grow In strength, while he grows In strength with voters who are normally But who are frightened Republican at the radical menace. Meanwhile the radical fringe of his own supporters, trying to figure his course out, have come to the conclusion that the trouble Is that Louis Howe has been sick. So they say M. n.

In the first rush, a great many foreigners saw a good chance to make a clean-up- . They knew that Americans had been buying from bootleggers all possiblle sorts of liquor with apparently very little concern as to brands or varieties. And at very high prices. So they thought they could buy up a lot ol whisky cheap In Scotland, ship It to this country on consignment, and take their profits. Meanwhile an equal number of speculatively Inclined persons in this country, who had never been In the liquor distributing business and knew little. If anything, about Its ramifications, took out Importers' permits, and applied for large quotas. Then they proceeded to buy large quantities of liquor, sometimes In bottles and sometimes having It bottled. All went nicely until the liquor arrived in the ports of entry. Then came the problem of selling It And there were no offers. The drinkers, who, during prohibition, had taken anything that was wet Inside a package, were Imbued with the idea that they wanted particular brands. The ordinary liquor trade knew how to handle the well-abrands, and had no Idea of tying up a lot of money In brands that might not move, and at any rate would have to be pushed. The real murder, of course, lies. In the fact that so large a percentage of the total cost of of Imported whisky Is tax, and therefore not suscptible of being shaved. A severe cut on the part of the price exclusive of tax would not appear to the customer such a big reduction ! It would not deter him from taking his favorite brand. good-lookin- g d ver-tlsp- d Unpleasant Surprises on FREEDOM IMPERILLED Ey JACOB H.

Assume that after a light fall of snow in the early hours of the morning an animal passes over the ground near a house. Hours later an expert can tell by examining the footprints whether the animal was a rabbit opossum or fox. Assume, on the other hand, that three men standing at a distance In the half-ligh- t of dawn saw that animal pass. The chances are that no two of them would agree as to the breed of animal they saw. The eyewitness testimony would be much less conclusive than that of the expert who never even saw the animal. earti'swi""-WAf $nt J I, 7; INiPLACENA whimThe southern mountaineer'sIn some not only sical humor Is seen s but In of his cgs some place names commemorating more or less episode Snme jest, Jug tragic-Br- oke grimly comical or ChnnKy-Cs- l , re. k Tear Breeches ridze, No. hollow. vividly How ridge-m- eh! recalls certain scrambles through Klp-Snl- that pesuat MORI JS LUSCIOUS CLASSIFIED ADS VEGETABLES full-flavor- Ml"SIC TEAC nERS.
