Hfter all. When jazz has gone back to tfte aisorner oi tne

his songs will be preserved m nch-huea marDie, ra wie ms

The tribute of his native state to this singer of songs ls

by higher impulses than jazz can inspire, singing "My Old
Kentucky Home," "Swanee River," "fflassa's in the Cold,
Cold Ground," and a score of other melodies that came from
his quilL There is no graceful effort in old Kentucky to en
shrine this man's memory for the operatic virtues of his
roundelays. But deserved tribute is paid to one who struck
the happy heartstrings of his day in such a fashion that the
singer has done more than the geograpner in placing awa
npo rivpr iinnn the man.
Foster, perhaps a bit more certainly than any other
lyricist, gave to the world refrains that are truly American
in thought and music They are national in that they are
characteristic of no other country or people. Yet they have
been heard and are being heard around the world.
There are good folk even now who sing "Kentucky
Home," and "Jeane With the Light Brown Hair and count
thm tunefuL There are collegiate youngsters who raise the
welkin with "O Susanna," and wherever mpromptu choris
ters chant their happiness about camp fires after twilight
when sentimental shadows creep over the sharper, some
times meaner, lights of day there will be tribute to Ken
tucky's restless boy as the refrain of "Old Black Joe" bears
testimony to the deathlessness of Stephen Foster's songs.
"Boo"
THE placebos in the galleries at Baltimore who yelled
"Boo" at every mention of the name of Hoover by Al
Smith on Mo&dav eveninar no doubt enjoyed the roar of their
raucous voicaa and tickled the auditory nerves of At omnn,
to say nothing of warming the cockles of his heart
I But they would have lost Al Smith a lot of votes if there
had been any more to lose. A large section of the air audi
ence of America was listening in, and many thousands of the
members of that audience divided their disgust between the
blatant trimming and shifting and ballyhoo of Smith and the
gallery gods who yelled "Boo at the top of their voices at
the mention of Mr. Hoover's name.
The gallery gazebos at Baltimore were manifestly of the
crowd who prefer a jag to a job; would rather drink than
eat
And no doubt a considerable number of them have lus
tier lungs than largeness of understanding. It takes no
brain power to bleat "Boo."
Smith was beaten before he began ; but if he" had "ever
had a chance his own woids and the reaction of the lickspit
tles among his placeboswould have withered them like a
killing frost. V
William Jennings Bryan for Hoover
THE son of the "great v commoner," William Jennings
"Bryan, Jr., of Nebraska announces that he will support
Hoover for president. v
His father spent his political life fighting the gangs that
are represented by Al Smith. It was against these sinister
massed forces that he battled to bring about the nomination
of Wood row WiksonJn-1912
And his son, carrying the tradition of his father, is whol
ly consistent when he enlists under the banner of Hoover,
the world's greatest commoner. '
Archie Rice, veteran New York newspaper reporter, is
out with a lot of suppressed galley proofs (suppressed by
New York newspapers) entitled, "The Tammany I Know."
He Jcnows a-plenty; stories that show up Tammany as the
. dirtiest and most dishonest bunch, the world ever saw.
Among other things. Mr. Rice "prints the names of 82 of the
Tammany directors and leaders who are on the payrolls of
New York City, all drawing high salaries.
Thomas A. Edison says Hoover's defeat would be a re
flection on the intelligence of the American people. Fortu
nately, this will not lie against them.
The speeches of Senator Borah in the dry south are
anything but dry. They are making the men and women
down there who are still parading under the wet banner
against their convictions almost sweat drops of blood.
