He will have this data handed to him by one well-qualified to speak-- Charles Gates Dawes, Ambassador, to the Court of St. James and recently Vice President of the United States. General Dawes will be a guest at the White House for several days. *n»e envoy has a reputation of looking facts squarely in the face. The belief prevails here that,the President will bave an earful, for Mr. Dawes never permits a question of rank and high position to interfere with his presentations. Senators who fought Dawes in parliamentary Matters acc<*ded Dawes ;the unusual tribute of going to him for the "low-down"' on affairs when he was Vice President, When you consider that the average legislator seldom accepts advice except under heavy pressure from powerful political factions, you have a rough Idea as to Mr. Dawes* ability to gather and digest political and economic information. It should be understood that this Illinois banker does not go about shouting his wares nor dispense the data to casual visitors. The "Hell and Marie" label which Dawes acquired while Director of the Budget under the Harding regime was due to nothing more than an emphatic protest against governmental red-tape methods. No other American in public life has the contacts with foreign governments and business men. His service with reparations commissions after the war won him a following on the other side. Powerful world figures who would not consider advising the President will talk freely with Dawes- The politically-minded folks aire endeavoring to attach significance to the President's two addresses in Pennsylvania, a Republican stronghold. The gathering at the Union League club in Philadelphia witness ed the greatest gathering of Republican clans in years--in power, not in numbers . The club has only the politi cal "blue-bloods" of the majority party in its membership, many of them the largest contributors to party war funds. Factions have been stir ring trouble since Governor Pinchot won out despite desertions. of state leaders. It was only natural that Mr lioover should appear circumspect in his personal conversations. A slighted political leader is something to be feared even by a President, especially if he seeks delegates to his banner In 1932. There has been some criti fcism within the party of the Hoover ^peaking places on the ground that lie is visiting rock-ribbed Republican States rathey than cultivating states in the doubtful column. Business leaders and others inter £sted in tax plans are franRly puzzled »t two long speeches delivered this week by the two highest officials of the Treasury Department. Both were generous in citing figures concerning * billion dollar deficit but offered only liints on ways and means to raise the tn mey. As a consequence a multitude of conflicting interpretations are flooding the nation. Some profess to Bote an effort to restore high taxes en automobiles, others see in the Mellon statement a- fore-runner of increased rates oh small incomes, while industry is equally certain that the idea is to pass the burden to business groups. The opinion is current that the Treasury sent up kites to detect (he drift of public sentiment on tax revision plans. It seems inevitable, however, that an upward revision will be necessary to keep the government ,t>n even keel. Suggestions advanced before the War Policies Commission this week ave also steamed up industry, hough the ideas advanced would *iot become effective unless war was ^declared, agitators have sounded a ^clarion call to counteract the pro jposals. The commission has no other ^purpose than to keep abreast of cony editions so that the government may ^be prepared for an emergency. It will be recalled that valuable time iand enormous sums were wasted by the lack of preparedness for industry in 1917. Even the agitators seem to forget that Congress would have the final word on war policies for industrial America.

Relative Wealth Wealth after all is a relative thing, since he that hath little, and wants lees, Is richer than he that hath much and wants mors.--Colton. H self with tracing out visually a network of cobwebs against the high celling of the oMUlroom, while he drummed on his table with a lead pencil. There was nock ter him to think about, and apparestfy toe network of cobwebs with its intricate meshes and tracings, offered a sort of background against which to project tie irritating figures of his fancy. Being a young lawyer In the midst of an aggregation old old and highly sophisticated attorneys, who were wise to all of the tricks oi the profession, bad Its difficulties. Only three years old in the practice of law, he nevertheless had encountered a number of serloo* situations; but nothing had been quite so serious as the final aspects of his most Important case, that of Mrs. Sadie Lawrence, charged with the murder of her husband, and convicted of the crime. MekinJm had spent many days and many hours of his nights at work upon the structure of self-defense which he felt sure would convince thf jury of the innocence of his client of murderous Intent. He had not been averse, however, to using the factor of his dent's rare beauty in the care* fully wrought structure which he had builded. The prosecuting attorney had shown with considerable success that the accused had had a lover with whom she had been more than duly Intimate; and that her husband, the murdered man, had carried a considerable amount of life insurance in -her favor. It had been a sort of repetition of the old, old story, according to the prosecuting attorney--a fond and mercenary lover, and a husband very much in the way, with a very tempting price on his head. On the other hand Meldrum had shown that the husband in reality was a brute of unqualified vlciousness, who was In the habit of abusing his "wife on every occasion, and who In all justice had merited the punishment he had received. The Jury had brought In a verdict of murder in the first degree, and without a recommendation for mercy. Meldrum's client had swooned; and Meldrum himself had stood In speechless horror. The words of the sentence still ruig..in his ears: , "Death by electrocution." v ' Meldrum's thoughts cdufd not iff#etl upon the scene without that frightful sentence racketing through Jhis brains. He promptly had " moved for a new trial, and had come upon the strong wall of technicalities with which the bar of justice is hedged about. He bad set out upon a frenzied search for s new evidence, and with each step in acquiring the necessary facts, renewing his hard fight for a hearing. The rebuffs and delays which had beat him back like rampageous tidal waves had settled into a veritable nightmare of tempestuous activities. Weeks had passed and still he had not been heard, when on this morning he sat in the courtroom waiting as usual while surveying the cobwebbed celling with his eyes, for his turn on the docket which, had a strange habit of becoming upset and readjusted according to circumstances of whose manipulation Ije never had yet learned the secret. - His efforts with the governor for an extension of time or stay of execution bad been as fruitless as had been his urgent appeals to the court for a hearing. Tije court had been unconscionably curt and severe. A number of times he had been inconsiderately squelched by the majestically gowned Judge. When he had offered explanations of the urgency of his case, he had bern cut off with a word, and assured that he would be heard In his own good time, that the order of the docket imipt be observed. So, this morning Meldrum sat waiting. There was a pallor on his face. He had devoted his time almost exclusively to the Lawrence case, no other considerable Interest finding a place in the daily routine of his pursuits; add the strain had told heavily upon his nervous system. • Meanwhile his client, the pretty Mrs. Sadie Lawrence, quite a way under thirty years of age, had languished lb a cell waiting the day of her execution, amid all of the horrors which might come of such a contemplation,- with the uncertainty of reprieve before her. For the past two days Meldrum had not visited her. He could not have borne the sight of those appealing eyes. Barely thirty days of life had been given her In the sentence of the court; and these days ' had been vanishing with harrowing rttpldtty. Meldrum shuddered as his thoughts ran backward through the events of those few days. At last the call of ^Meldrum" arose clearly above the other sounds of the room. Meldrum's pencil came to rest and his gaze came away from the cobwebs against the celling. It was unbelievable that he was to be heard at last But the facts were dear. He had been called forward. He arose and answered to his name. "The Case of I>awrence, Convicted of Murder," sounded the court. "The court is ready for. the hearing," further dinned the august voice, Meldrum's bands dropped to the back of a convenient chair and a strange smile passed his clammy lips. "I am here," he began In sepulchral tones, "to Inform the Most High court that my client, Mrs. Sadie Lawrence, was executed an hour ago."
