No services were held at the church last night on account of the Joint mission celebration at Cypress Hills. At the celebration the choir of the church gave a special selecItion, John Geis' Political Gossip Comparisons Are Early, But the. Wisacre Is Here You know what a very hot' afternoon it was Well, I nearly roasted in the Democratic Judiciary Convention. and had been baked in a telephone booth, and beautifully panned by a sweet-tempered young woman to whom I had been dictating. and was walking along the street, when a man hailed me and asked me was I warm' You know what I said, and then he insisted upon my standing on a hot pavement with the sun blazing upon my defenseless head, and asking me what ticket I thought would win, and without waiting for my answer, he went on to say what he thought.

So the dope is being peddled and I may just as well deal in a little of it myself. But first it may be interesting to tell what the fellow on the street is saying. the first place, it is not all Al. Smith, as you might imagine. who back in the good old winter time were not so keen about the Governor are saying that he is more popular than he was two years ago and that "he is going to appeal to the intelligent wherever he is.

am inclined to imagine that now, as the time is here for declarations, the Republican voter, especially if his bread and butter depends upon his organization label, going to say Miller whether he means it or not. So we will have to pass up the dope that bird hands out. We must take what the independent Republican voter means, and mind you, man, the Independent Republican voter 1g he used to be, taking his policies from the City Club and the Citizens' Union. He is a regular fellow who is more apt to show his independence by voting for Al. Smith, just as he did for Mayor Hylan.

And there is a point. Has anything been done by the Albany administration to make the man who voted Mayor Hylan because he thought the Mayor was right on transit change his mind? I asked a prominent Republican about that and he said the Governor's transit plan had made a Babe Ruth, and where had I been that I did not know that. Right here in Brooklyn, I told him, except the few days I had spent in Syracuse and Albany at conventions; but a lot of the Democrats and a few of the Republicans who beat it out of Albany on Thursday and went over to Syracuse to see a real convention, could tell him about the eight cents they paid every time they stepped on a street car in Syracuse--and Syracuse being Governor Miller's home town, inaybe that is where he got the idea. Being 8 republican myself, although I do not work at the job. I like to get a fellow member of the party going.

So when he protested and said how much better the service is since the Governor's Transit Commission has been on the job, I reminded him that costs had come down and if the companies obeyed any orders of the Commission, why they had been preparing to make a few concessions anyway. But he insisted that the intelligent voter knew how much better the service is and who to thank for it. When asked him why the Governor failed to mention transit in his speech in opening the campaign this past week in Brooklyn, my friend hopped into his limousine. However, I got into my' nice new from the shop winter Gates car, and my "shofe" leaned down to say: "They can't beat Al, you before he stepped on the bell. A Fine Picker Is Rare.

Honest, now, what did you think of them lined up on the stage at Kismet Temple Wednesday evening? Setting aside Treasurer Marshall and Comptroller are in office, and not mentioning the nor and the Senator, what did you think? Every man on the ticket was drafted. Governor Miller, according to the political gossips, hand picked the ticket. Nothing the matter with the new State chairman at that, is there? we will miss George Glynn just the same. Many a Good Judge Is Hidden in a Law Office At Kismet Temple Thursday night reason Governor some Miller State said is that employes because the "they were only advanced salary are good 'Re fellows." Well, that 1s something; and also, that is why a great many men get nominations. If it was all a matter of fitness it might be very hard to secure a nominee or even a State employe.

Come to think of it, while, of course, 8 citizen and a taxpayer, anyone would prefer to see his money go to the man who is on the job, nevertheless I've bought many an article because the salesman wasn't a crab. have bench because they One might, say that some judges were good fellows, and maybe if you got a look at the reversals you would see that wag the only reason. But if ever there is a place where merit and good fellowship should play together it is on the Supreme Court bench. Of course, by good fellowship I mean genuine friendliness and humanity and a willingness to give a helping hand without tion of the statutes. There are a great many lawyere who live and die hidden behind the little green doors, so to speak, and whose real ability and broad human characteristics are wasted upon the office air.

Once in awhile they pull a couple of fellows like that away from the desk and the rail and seat them upon the bench. And they may be found to be the best fellows at that. Sometimes a man is 80 immersed in his work that he has not had the time to mingle with the throng, and it only that when he comes the limelight a real picture of him is obtained. Of course, there is really nothing personal in all this about the present judiciary nominees in this district. But if ever the convention system was justified it was last Tuesday when the Democrats met to nominate their two candidates.

There really was a raft of candidates, some of them able; a few not so good. The outstanding figures for some weeks- -the Brooklyn Times first gave the tip on them--were Assistant Corporation Counsel William B. Carewell and William F. Hagarty. I made a little joke about them, just after they had been nominated.

called them "'The Two Good Nothing spurious about either. Both extremely able lawyers with excellent records before the bench. Hagarty has had the advantage of association with two unusual partners, Thomas F. Magner and Patrick E. Callahan.

They are very successful lawyers, all three. Hagarty Is a hard worker, but he found time to play also, and one could scarcely overlook his great popularity as attested at the convention. You never would call Hagarty a good fellow in the same sense in which you would refer to "Steve" Callahan, and the way his Intimates speak of I think Al Nova was wrong in the best speech I over heard in a judiciary nominating convention. when he. said they called Hagarty "Billy.

always heard (Vim called "Will," and duties as District Attorney next year." No guff about that. Those words came from the heart. Next year, if he is elected on November 7, Ruston have to come before the people again, because he 19 only up for election now to fill out the unexpired term of Judge Lewis elected to the Supreme Court last year. In 1923 the election for District Attorney will be for the full term of four years. Should Ruston be elected, there 18 no doubt his actions in harwith his words.

Were I his campaign manager I should spread that Kismet Temple speech of his broadcast, The Peepul Let in Also. What funny things we read. In an announcement of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce forum luncheon of vesterday there is this: "There will be a select gathering of members of the Chamber. Every one interested In the development of Brooklyn is invited, irrespective of his membership in the Chamber." How exclusive even thought we may become, carelessly news due the the public written some "Informations while real is so carefully guarded and withheld. I do hope those at the luncheon "irrespective of their membership," gave due deference to the "select." Yes, Teddy Will Play; Watch Him Bat for Nat Some one in Albany started a rumor that the "Young Colonel" was 80 very greatly peeved with Governor Nathan L.

Miller over the latter's treatment of Jack Lyons that he would not go on tour with the gubernatorial outfit. I didn't see that any of the correspondents, staff or resident, flashed the big news to his paper. But a man who had insisted it was a good story and absolutely so, and who did not relish my apparent slight of his tip reminded me that I had lost the opportunity for a "scoop." So it was a pleasure to say to him had not entirely ignored his "info" and that even so good a tip from SO authoritative a source had be verified, and I had asked Colonel Roosevelt himself about it and what he told me made it necessary to charge the office with telegraph tolls. Originally the press bureau, or what assumes at times the press bureau for Republican State headquarters, had announced that when Gov. Miller began his tour of the Be State on October 6, the A Assistant Secretary of the Navy would be with him.

There had been a great many stories about young Roosevelt being a candidate in case Miller did not run, and about Teddy taking the place of William M. Calder as the candidate for the United States Senate, and about Roosevelt making Miller accept Lieut. Gov. Jeremiah Wood as his running mate again, and also about the Rooseveltian interest in Secretary of State Lyons. So when divers persons saW Roosevelt roaming about the corridors of the Hotel Ten Eyck, looking a bit lonesome and provoking no cheers, someone strted a story break, and when the Young Colonel told someone else that he wag going West the first week in October, didn't it look like a grand little, story? I'll say it did.

But a few moments' chat with Col. Roosevelt spoiled a scare head. Yes, it was true that he was not going on tour with the Governor on October 6. Yes, it was also true that he was going West about that time. Well, why? Why? Why, it is this way," said the Colonel, "The Congressional Campaign Committee has dated me up for the first two weeks of the campaign and wants me to make speeches in the West.

"But I am coming back to New York for the windup. In fact, I expect to get into the Gubernatorial campaign for the last three weeks." Now, dear reader, you see how political stories sometimes come to be written; and why sometimes they are not written: To Nobody in Particular. If were a Political Reporter, and day in and day out, month in and month out, even year in and year out you had written such nice things for certain men in public life, and maybe, perhaps, possibly your articles had had something to do with keeping the public informed of their good deeds with never, well, hardly ever a slam, and if maybe, perhaps, possibly, those very articles had something, be it ever so little, to do with a nomination; or nominations, and then the certain men in public life just turned around when they something to give out like a publicity job for instance; I say, and then these certain men turned around and gave out that publicity job with some real money attached to it to a rank outsider, wouldn't You bet your bitter-sweet" life would. Selah! Interesting stores told dally in the Advertising Coluinns of The Brooklyn Times should be read religiously by every reader of this paper. If You Want German Hooch Send 50c to George Kindt everyone who said it, said it like they do in Arkansas when they speak to a lad and say "ki-id," sort of slurring the word over affectionately, And I heard a Court of Appeals Judge once say that Hagarty is "not merely an ornament to the bar; he is one of the best working appendages we have, sir." Now as to Carswell.

I have known William B. Carswell for a long timewhen he was working for the United States Government, a most able and efficient employe, and preparing for the bar. There was no favor he would not go out of his way to doand like Hagerty, his courtesy is inborn. His work in the office of the Corporation Counsel has been ling, but he stuck to it day and night, He was in the State Senate left his mark, and his successor front mond the other day told how grateful they are on Staten Island to him cause of his work for the elimination of the awful garbage plant. In the past year or so he has forged to the' front as a fighting member of the Corporation Counsel's staff, and his victory over the right of the city to cross trolleys over own bridge was notable and hard won." Incidentally, his runping mate is a proponent of the bus line where it is legal and necessary.

However, do not get the idea am boosting two Democrats in this Republican paper at the expense such able Republicans as Supreme Court Justice Frank S. Gannon a and former County Judge William R. Bayes. Nor shall anyone say I am carrying water upon both shoulders when I praise all four of them, as I am bound to do, knowing them all quite well. Bench and bar alike say that Gannon has made good, and the laity complaint.

While he is credited to Staten Island, Long Island City has taken him to her breast and says she nursed him as an infant, and he is a regular city fellow; and down Bath Beach way, where he resided for a while, I think I heard him say in his last campaign, they call him a Brooklyn As for Bayes, I wish I that file of the Brooklyn Times here, in which I wrote about the man from Ohio, who then was only an acting leader for Marcus B. CampbellEdmund W. Voorhles, and who I predicted yet would reach the presidency. I don't know that the Suprere Court is a stepping stone to the Presidency, but I do know this, that whether Bayes is or is not elected, he will be heard from in New York politics for many a day. Now all four get up and bow and say: "Thank you, John." Hard Work Makes Clean Living.

Don't ever let anyone tell you that luck gets a man anywhere. There may be such a thing as Chance, but only when an open eye makes for the seizure of opportunity. Call Bill Calder lucky? Take every reference to him today and you will read or "energetic," or "hard working." Do you suppose his success as a builder was made by ing of a Woolworth tower? his pre-eminence in politics was gained by sticking a feather In his hat? Nix. It was all accomplished by being hours and hours on the job -and, maybe, I'll make this sion: keeping a weather eye open for the main chance. John Ruston's Plain Talk Squares With His Work Nothing at the Kismet Temple meeting the other night impressed me so much as the forceful speech of District Attorney John E.

Ruston. After thanking the members of the County Committee for the vote of confidence given him in the primary and reminding his audience that the office of District Attorney has within its protection the welfare, health, property and lives of all the people of Kings County, which means this big borough of Brooklyn, Ruston paid a neat compliment to his associates. efficiency of the District Attorney's office is not due to the efforts of its head." he said. due to the co-operation of the police; it is due to that efficient staff of conscientious, earnest, able workers created by ames C. Cropsey, continued by Harry E.

Lewis and maintained by myself." These are the men, he told his audience, to whom they should be grateful for the enforcement of the law in the past ten years. That audience had listened to a long address by Governor Miller, to a talk of great merit on national affairs by Senator Calder, and a neat speech by Judge Erskine C. Rogers, the Republican candidate for District Attorney, and it had started 'en masse for the doors. Ruston's earnestness brought him attention and the crowd hesitated in its exit. Ruston's next few words brought the exodus to a full stop.

"The policy of the District Attorrey's office is honest," he said. "We believe in prosecutions that are prompt, fearless, vigorus just. We believe in ridding this town by speedy trials of vicious That brought him a goodly measure of applause which was resumed and intensified when he added: "We believe, the District Attorney representing as he does all of the people, that the defendant should be given a square deal. We believe in the open door, in courtesy and helpfulness extended to very man, woman and child who comes in contact with our office. Convictions are not the sole aim of our monts.

The truth, in every instance, must prevail, and merited acquittals are welcome, with emphasis on the merited." That was the talk of a man who has the full conception of the duty he owes to the commonwealth. There has been a lot of propaganda at ditferent times in favor of a special attorney whose duty it shall be to look after the defendant. No need for such an officer where District Attorneys feel as does Ruston. But the latter has more to say: majority of our criminals being young men, just budding into manhood, it is the disposition of the District Attorney's office to bel helpful, and to aid them in getting back to the straight and narrow path, so that they may become useful memof the community." No damning a man, on. Ruston's part, because he had made a Arst false step.

Then further to show that he had more in hand than sending men to prison, the District Attorney said: "The matter of prosecutions and convictions of criminals is only first aid in this element of crime, and the reduction of crime. The real cure is education, and when we spend money for that we are inculcating in the young, in their bosoms in their hearts and consciences a correct perspective of what is right and what is wrong, And I am for Is it any wonder there was a salvo of applause? Is it any wonder there were cheers when he concluded: "I am going to perform my duties as God and my conscience and the law and the facts tell me they should be performed. My record and the record and the policy of the office in the last ten years, which is the policy of the office today, is a I guarantee of the performance of my Maybe Postmaster Burton will be interested in this. The other day the mail from Germany brought a prettily, illustrated circular to the Brooklyn Times extolling the beauties of a summer and winter resort in Bavaria, called' Oberstdorf. And folded in it was a modest little sheet of white paper, captioned "George Kindt, Oberstdorf, Allgau, Germany," bearing the following legend and message of hope and promise: "DEAR SIR, "You have now in Amerika the Prohibition and this will not be agreable for all people.
