THE STATE'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) CHERISHING VAIN HOP “Labor,” an organ published at Washington, is quite elated over the 4,000,000 votes cast for the third party at the recent election. Former Congressman Baer of North Dakota who is cartoonist and propagandist extraordinary for this journal, pictures the old guard dressed in the style of the Napoleonic era, excited and alarmed over this fact. The cartoon shows the hair of the old guard on end. Amaze- ment upon every feature of the old guard and its hat soar- ing from the head, reflect a fright at the prospects of the third party eventually swallowing the G. O. P. Making allowances for the enlarged poll due to woman’s suffrage, and the fact that Within the last twelve years many became of voting age, LaFollette polled a little more than half of President Roosevelt’s popular vote in 1912. Ata time too when class discontent seemed higher and prom- | ised great gains for a radical candidate. is now history. Only one state, Wisconsin LaFollette’s pocket borough, went fo: i}: gressive leader. The support given LaFollette forms What happened long regarded so-called pro- no basis for a per- manent Labor party such as England has under the leader- | ship of Ramsey MacDonald. Here the Third Party proved to be no more than a factional cleavage and the elements contributing to LaFollette’s vote are so diverse that no party cohesion for future battles is apparent. Labor did not support it. LaFollette’s attempt differs little from that of Granger and Populist appeals covering a period of some sixty years of our political history. There will be other outbreaks against the dominant parties. To date these political schisms ave been transitory. Even in England the Labor party merely held office at the suffrance of the opposition which failed to agree upon a party program. Once the Conserva- tives abandoned all coalition alliances and united on a policy, matter to sweep the MacDonald faction from The followers of LaFollette who pinned hope upon mald’s rise to power failed to study the underlying that contributed to his short sway. it was declared by LaFoilette backers that old. parties had outlived their usefulness; that “class consciousness” could be aroused sufficiently to sweep a radical into office, but the ma cheered their agitators but voted the repub- lican ticket in very large numbers. Elections in England and here show that the Anglo- Saxon mind moves pretty much along the save groove poli- tically. United States emerged out of the November elec- tions as did England by endorsing sane and conservative progress with political ideals and temperament somewhat similar. The racial hatreds still nutured in some sections in this country played a very inconspicuous part in this cam- paign, despite the efforts of LaFoillette to lash them to fury. If Labor is to build here a constructive party as in Eng- land voicing its policies, this cannot be done by trying to harness to the same political band wagon the flotsam and jetsam of all the radical factions. Samuel Gompers for the most part steered away from political affiliations. Whether the control slipped from him in the matter of the LaFollette endorsement will be revealed as time goes on. Probably tired out and with the infirmi- ties of age upon him, he allowed the younger heads to rush into the third party for the purpose, as one writer points out “to teach them a lesson.” The American Federation of Labor probably will move more cautiously in the next na- tional campaign. If a Third Party is to be created, LaFollette and his followers must build anew. They can use none of the 1924 wreckage, if they hope to build toward permanency. HAMILTON HOLT’S DEFEAT The League of Nation's ‘idea in one ot the centers of culture, in the shadow of ‘Yale it were, has been em- phatically rejected in the defeat of Hamilton Holt, probably the most distinguished proponent of the Wilsonian idea since the death of its author. Hiram Bingham, a Yale professor, governor-elect of Connecticut, with the backing of the Coolidge organization in that state overwhelmed his ; democratic opponent. Mr. Holt made the League of Na- tion’s issue the chief plank in his platform. ‘Developments in Europe point to vital weakness in the League of Nations as now constituted. In the case of Egypt, England raised the question emphatically that the issues there involved were not justiciable under the covenants of | the league and promptly proceeded to deal with the ‘matter inher own vigorous style. There have been incidents of ai like nature since the league was organized. | Theoretically and from a strictly academic standpoint, | the League of Nations appeals to those idealists struggling | toward a realization of internationalism, a super-government where race prejudices and pride become subservient to an internationalism based upon majority rule. The idea won't work in the present stage of civilization.

NOT YET THE FLYING FLIVVER (Columbus Dispatch) | England has just held a competi- | tion fer light airplanes, and the dis- \play has not done anything to en- | courage the hope of an era of cheap airplanes for everybody. The Henry | Ford of air travel has not yet made jhis appearance, “The small-powered lairplane,” says Prof. A. M. Low, an official of the competition, “is noisy, very dirty, very uncomfortable, de- cidedly dangerous and exceedingly unreliable.” In place of heing a machine which anybody can handle, it can be operat- ed with any considerable degree of safety only by very cafefully trained and skilled — pilo Of eighteen planes entered for the British con- test, only eight survived the qual ing tests, though, as Prof. Low si “there are not many people who ha a quick flying sense, and the gym- nastic ability characteristic of the picked men who handled the ma- chines in this competition.” After all, it’ may be questioned whether the world has anything to gain from the invention of a piane which would fill the air with adven- j turous fliers at an expense no greut- lier than the cost of the cheapest au- , tomobile, or of a good horse and car- riage. The dangers and annoyances of such traffic would probably far outweigh any possible vantages, ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON TCHER SNATCH BUTTERFLY N Johnny Sweep and the Twins flew along on Johnny Sweep's broom, carrying Ted's note to ~the North | Pole D THE greatest popularity, run into years!

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1924 .WHEN THEY GET YOUR GOAT By Albert Apple , i Did you ever fly into a rage while trying to open a win- idow in a Pullman car? Most people do. — These windows jusually stick as if nailed shut or imbedded in glue. They’re intended to stick. Otherwise they would keep ‘travelers awake by rattling or permitting drafts of air’ to ‘enter ‘around loose edges and cracks. i YES INE HEARD OF DEOPLE HANING Posted in the corridor of a Pullman car, we find a notice instructing us to summon the porter if we want the window {opened. “It’s his job, anyway,” says the placard. | The porter, it develops, carries a special apparatus, a lever \that pries the window open easily. H So a lot of us have been annoyed, exasperated, enraged without cause. { Think it over. Isn’t that the way with most of the things that “get our goat”? Nine times out of ten the trouble ig in our own nerves and attitude rather than in the situations and obstacles that rule our emotions, For instance, when a man is in a hurry, the sidewalk crowd seems in secret alliance to get in his way as much as possible.’ It never oecurs to him that he is in other people’s road quite as much as they in his. , We biame the porter rather than the obstinate window. That is not fair. We biame the salesgirl who waits on us, if our change is slow in coming — though the clerk cannot help it. We neglect to vote, and then make the air blue if we are not satisfied with politicians who get into office by reason of vote slackers’ negligence. We return a cross word double-measure, and are firmly convinced that the other party is entirely to blame if a quar- rel results. It’s a fine alibi, the claim that something gets our goat. As a matter of fact, we usually get- our own goat. Generally, at the root of it all is nervous impatience — high blood pressure of a frantic’ Haste without reason for it. A contented, easy-going life is in the formula: “A hundred years from now, it won’t make ‘any difference.” TRolblams ©1026 BY MEA SERVICE, INC.
