The “Peasant” Candidate.
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

and not from the sidewalk. If there are
any true yokels left, their principal

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

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.

iMUTINY ON THE
BOUNTY AT NEV.
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.
