OUSTON, TEX.—To certain candidates: Dear cans., please discourage your campaign stratewhoever those poor antican prove the Spartan simplicity of your rugged souls by inviting distinguished visitors to drop in for pot-luck with you and the fam ily in the kitchen. Because, dear cans., that’s old stuff. It dates back to the McIntyre and Heath era of political vaudeville. The great common people may be common —anyhow the orators keep on telling them. they are — but they aren't exactly stupid. Merely because.a man has.to. live in the deep woods doesn’t mean he has to think like a woodpecker. I contend it’s generally the other way around. With the exception of “Mr. Dooley,” practically all the outstanding satiric observers of our national follies sprang from the soil and not from the sidewalk. If there are any true yokels left, their principal center is New York city. And if ever there was a°day. when Americans in mass believed a man could best qualify for the Presidency by behaving like a peasant, that day has passed. : * * * Odorless Cabbage. he alae experimental genius‘at Cornell university has breda non-odorous cabbage—a_ thing absolutely guaranteed to remain tinsmellable while heing cooked. I presume he crossed. it with the. tuberose. Now, I never protested when they produced 4 spring onion with no aftermath to it, no lingering reminiscence. “Fair enough,” 7, said, not let bygones be bygones?” And I shall welcomé with glad outcries the evolution of the anti-squirt grapefruit, and the self-opening coconut, and, greatest boon of all, the hiceoughless radish. But to take away from the succulent fried cabbage its only means of self-defense seems a cruel thing. Besides, how in future would a stranger be able after dark to identify an oldfashioned, * two-dollar-a-day, American plan hotel? Once he got inside and saw the Gideon Bibles and met the resident he’d know, of course, where he was, but how about approaching in the night-time with no perfume to guide him? : Irvin S. Cobb * * * % The Courage of Texans. HERE’S something about Texans— something different. The men who tramped the Oregon trail were homesteaders. They took their wives with them, and plews. and seed-corn, the forty-niners who went to California had shovels on~their:shoulders and—if you can believe the Susannah song—banjoes on their knees. But if it came to a-pinch they threw away the banjoes first. Because they were looking for gold. But in the beginning those who came to Texas carried rifles and kept their eyes peeled. They were looking for trouble. And, lawsy, how. abundantly they found it. For nobody dreamed then of the incredibly rich and fertile empire this would be. The only prospect was for a fight against the wilderness. The heritage lives on; Texans still tae a chance. A native waylaid me today. First he-offered to bet a cool million Mr. Hoover would be nominated. Then he tried to borrow twenty. Both of us came out even. He saved his million. I kept my twenty. The Happy Warrior’s Grammar. N THE Sabbath calm following the explosion of Al Smithisms over the palpitant ether,:you could almost hear the purists murmuring: “Be sure thy syntax will find thee out”; but. the purist vote isn’t big enough to count. For culture, a collegiate accent may. have it all over the Brooklyn brogue, but there are more people crossing Brooklyn bridge every day than go through Yale or Harvard in 50 years. Governor Smith. may not pronounce radio the correct _way—as some critics already have pointed out—but he certainly knows what to do with it when he faces a microphone. All grammar aside—and why not all grammar aside, if-leaving it-aside keeps simple speech? —when he gets thfough talking there are no missing werd contests, ne guessing games afterward. Take it-or leave it, you get what he’s driving at, the very foist time. * * * The War in the Papers. ODELRN wars are won by the side ‘with the best advance agent—at least so far as the press notices go. In the inspired reports sent out from Rome, one reads that the white in-vaders have again routed the dismayed Ethiopians after destroying tremendous numbers of the black warriors, while casualties on the Italian side, amounted to two infantrymen suffering from fallen arches and one. bystander painfully kicked by an ambulance mule. Or statistics to that gratifying effect. And next day a postscript trickles out from Africa that the victory was so complete the winners only fell back about 20. miles. 'RVIN S. COBB.

THEATRE SUN. “Mutiny on the Bounty,’ MetroGoldwyn-Mayer’s sea classic that comes to the Nevada Theatre Sunday and Monday is a picture that must take the highest-place of all sea dramas converted to the motion picture screen. Three stars top a notable cast of more than fifty featured players but the outstanding star of all is the sturdy little square-rigger “H. M. S. Bounty,” which figured in one’of the ‘most dramatic chapters of sea drama more than 150 years ago. “Muntiny on the Bounty,’’ a crowning production aéhievement for, Irving G. Thalberg, is the sea adventure immortalized-so recently by the sensational ‘book of Charles Nordhoff and James Norman. Hall. It is the true story of a: scientific expedition of a group of men who rise in» mutiny against the tyranny of their captain and who are eventually tracked down by the longs arm of England’s sea law and led back to an ignoble death on a yardarm. Charles Laughton, as Captain Bligh, far surpasses any performance of his spectacular screen career. He gives the role of Bligh the breath ef life that only the original Bligh could give it. : Clark Gable appears as the lIeader of the mutineers, Fletcher Christian, and through his characterization climbs one more notch higher as the most popular male star of the films.
