Register complaints before § eH every failure to complete and round out a szt- pitock, At the Old Home Town While his fellow countrymen at Cleveland were booming him for the vice presidential nomina- tion General Dawes was down at Marietta, Ohio, his birthplace, delivering an address to the graduates from Marietta college, the institution from which he himself graduated in 1884. It didu’t matter much to the general what was go- ing forward at Cleveland he had a duty to per- form, one accepted long before his name came upon the public tongue as a suitable vice presi- dent on the Coolidge presidential ticket, and be it said the general was putting it over in char- acteristic style when the delegates were yoting for him at Cleveland. Tt may be of interest to know a few things the general was saying to the college boys at the time he was being made the Bepublican candi- date for vice president. He was saying: “The world and this country need leadership fearless enough to face the crowd and fight for - an unpopular truth. If we're sick and need an operation, we can’t be cured by the soft sweet " words and honeyed medicines of the demagogic quack doctors. We need the truth and we need men fearless enough to stand up and tell us the truth, no matter how unpopular the truth may “Por the first time in my:life, they are begin- » ‘ming to tell me that I’m-growing popular—and for the first time itt/my life I am beginning to suspicion that I may be wrong. “This lack*of truthful leadership is the cause of most of Europe’s present troubles. People of Europe for five years have been listening to the pleas and words of their demagogic leaders rath- er than the truth about their condition. Their quack doctors have been telling them pleasant things in accord with their passions, prejudices and nationalistic sentiments rather than the truth which they need so badly. “The same condition exists over here. Our farmers of the northwest need the truth rather tham the honeyed cure-all promises of the quack politicians. A true statement of any case is the first essential to a cure, and the longer we listen to the promises of men like Hiram Johnson the harder the cure will be.” The general said a lot more, and he said it earnestly, but contrary to the usual form there wasn’t a single “Hell and Maria” in the entire address. Absence Noted One thing was noticeable at the Cleveland convention that among the thousands of dele- gates and spectators there were surprisingly few members of the United States senate pres- ent, in marked contrast with former conventions wherein members of that body occupied the seats of the mighty and said what was what and who was who. The absence of the senators did not pass un- noticed and in some instances delegates were out- spoken enough to say theirs “had better not show up.” As a result of its failure to support President Coolidge, the senate of the United States is the most unpopular body in the country. One delegate put it very neatly thus: “Presi- dent Coolidge has no friends in the senate and the senate has no friends outside its own walls.” Many of the state delegations expressed great bitterness toward their unfaithful senators and representatives and it developed that many of the traitors are marked for speedy political de- struction. Many of these congressmen have already been humiliated and chastized by their home states and districts, and many more are due for atten- tion later. It is one explanation of the absence of sena- tors and congressmen who could be reached at the time the delegations were made up back home. And it will be another explanation of the absence of many of the senators and congress- men when a new congress assembles. If these representatives of the people imagine for a second they can get away with this high, mighty stuff and disregard the will of their party and the will of the people they represent they are the worst_fooled group in the nation. Our Industrial System Remember how lost you were when for the first time, you stepped on the floor of a big fac- tory or entered the door of a large general of- fice? All you could see was a mass cf jerking, pounding, whirling machines, with men gliding about before them or among them; or row on row of desks, files, typewriters cabinets and coun- ters, with executives and clerks scurrying every where. Your first impression was one of con- fusion and disorder, you couldn't make “heads or tails of it.” Then later, you begdn to “get your bearings.” You found a certain order in what had formerly struck you as disorder and confusion, Every ma- newcomer but a day or so to grasp the order in a machine room or office it often takes years to realize fully the size and complexity of the industrial system. Many people never even begin to understand it; in fact, to many it is not a system at all, but merely a haphazard affair that can be twisted and experimented with as occa- sion arises. This is one reason for many of the misunderstandings, confusions and inefficiencies that exist today. Party Rule Among the many points in the address of Hon, Frank W. Mondell, permanent chairman of the Republican national’ convention, none stands out clearer or brings greater conviction to real Republicans than this statement: ¥ “Never before in our history has the need and the necessity of dependable party majorities and of definite party responsibility been so clearly demonstrated as in the very recent past. Legis- lative control by shifting and changing combina- + tions, resulting in majorities having no common faith and recognizing no united responsibility, cannot in the nature of things produce legisla- tive results beneficial or satisfactory to the peo- ple of the country. The inevitable effect of such legislative control is confusion and paralysis and a legislative product satisfactory to no one, “Every serious fault of recent legislation and isfactory legislative program could and would have been avoided had there been, dependable Republican majorities in the congress. The one certain and assured remedy for such a condition is the election of a congress, Republican by a goodly majority both in name and in principle.” Learn to Play “Life is real, life is earnest,” sang the poet, byt those who get most out of life suspend their earnestness now and again for a little play. It has been said that the best work ‘of the world is done by men who labor desperately to get through their tasks in order to go out and play, and some homely philosopher has de- clared that “a little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men.” He might have added that the man who could not relish a little nonsense now and then could not be very wise. Here is the true story of a man worthy, cap- able—everything the copybook maxims would adjure a man to be—whose life’s ambition was wrecked because he never learned to play. As a youth he went to work in a mill. He was thrif- ty, diligent, ambitious. Promoted from time to time, he eventually became superintendent. In the meantime he married. His wife urged him to take a vacation every year and rest and have some fun, but his dream was to save enough money by the age of fifty-five so that he might spend the remainder of his life in Florida. So he saved the money which vacations to the sea- side or mountains would cost and remained at work. Came the time when he was independent and he resigned and went to Florida. Within a month he was bored and unhappy. Then he went to Cal- ifornia and later around the world. Still he was unhappy. Finally he went home and begged for work in his old mill—any kind of work. He died there. He had never learned to play, and ‘was too old to learn. He knew nothing of the joys of loafing and inviting one’s soul. He had been in the treadmill too long and too steadily, All work and no play makes not only Jack a dull Le, but dulls the mind and soul of older folk. In the race of life he who stops now and then to pick daisies along the way is apt to go farther and fare bet- ter than others who plod without ceasing. Notes From the Keynoter Among the policies emphasized by Theodore Burtoa, temporary chairman of the Republican national convention and official keynoter of the party were these: The Republican party stands now, as always firmly for law enforcement. Laws are not ta be observed merely by those who favored their en- actment but by everyone in this broad land. There is an absolute necessity for an intelli- gent policy of conservation of our natural re- sources for the prevention of waste and of the even more dangerous evils of monopoly. No one- hundred year franchise should be given nor should any grant be made of that which the na- tion should preserve for its future protection. Let us secure for every individual the greatest possible equality of opportunity and leave to the states and minor political divisions a broad field of activity in their proper sphere. Thus we shall avoid an unwieldy central government in constant danger of toppling over. We shall prevent state boundaries from’ becoming mere vanishing traces on the map. Speaking for all good and thoughtful citizens of every political creed, I must enter a solemn protest against the impression recently created that there is widespread corruption in the gov- ernment at Washington. Our highest duty in the midst of all these rumors of iniquity is to pun- ish the guilty, but at the same time condemn ex- aggeration and protect the innocent. A tendency toward third-party movements is manifest wherever parliamentary government exists. This has been true in most of the coun- tries of Continental Europe for years. The effect is inevitably demoralizing, involving failure in constructive policies and oftentimes control by a minority or a combination of minorities. So long as the league of nations remains a po- litical body, inevitably dominated by the larger nations of Europe, poisoned with tradition of age-long anomisities, membership is not for us. Third Party Aim The radicals of the country are looking joy- fully forward to the formation of a third party. They are aware in advance that the Republican and Democratic platforms will not be sufficient- ly destructive of our industrial life to suit them. Knowing that, they have planned for a political revolution. The group, determined to create a state of pub- lic mind which it believes can be coined into a third party movement of a subyersive sort which will succeed at the polls, ig at present satis- fied that the ground has been well prepared and that the seed it has succeeded in sowing will fruit in victory. Not only in congress, but in tfle ranks of-or- ganized labor, has this element full of hatred for the business and industrial interests of the country wrought earnestly. It is firmly con- vinced that in that group seeking to establish a labor tyranny it has found a faithful and eager chine and desk and person was related to every | ally. other mach and desk and person and to the In this connection it is interesting to note whole plant or office. It was an organization—a| what Free Youth, a “monthly anagazine devoted syatem—operating according to a plan and with | to the interests of the young people's Socialist t related to the other, and to the whole. | League of America,” has to say. By the way, of mn we look carefully at the business and! the seven individuals named as the editorial lal world, we find it too, to be a aystem staff of that publication, five bear names which ‘ e of that fact sh not be overlooked. The Sait of this alien-born and hearted group are, of course, eager for a third party. They cause their publication to say: “This year, as never before, we are moved to hope that a great change is impending. There are unmistakable signs of revolt in hitherto unassail- able quarters. For many years Socialists have been agitating in and outside the labor unions against their silly practice of rewarding friends and punishing enemies and for i it pol- itical action.

We believe that-a labor party, representing a large and important part of the country, is at last to be born. Whatever attitude the confer ence for Progressive Political Action takes at Cleveland this July 4, whether it.be mildly radi- cal or strongly Socialist, if the elements there represented decided to build an independent par- ty of Labor—cail it what they will—for the pur- pose of putting into effect such measures as they desire and with the ultimate aim of abolishing the-profit system, Socialists everywhere will re- joice.” , : The foregoing is reprinted in order that read- ers who know and love this great country that radicalism hates, and would destroy if it could, may understand what is the real meaning of this effort to create a state of the public mind that will be favorable to a third party movement. Power of Belief This is an age of power, derived and developed from all sources. Energy imprisoned in an atom, where it escapes the prying eye of the most ob- serving misroscope, is released to be the soul of a vast commercial undertaking. We may not un- derstand the nature of a force, but we take it as a club in our hands for the conquest of space and time, and that victory means the promotion of business and the prolongation of life. Power is daily performing the dynamic miracle that transplants a mountain and divides the sea. It threads the air with a speed that rivals the passage of light and sound, which themselyes are power visible and audible. In the contact of one human life upon another there is no power greater than the influence of a steadfast, affectionate belief. If a friend has faith.in us that what we promise we shall perform, this faith is an incentive sueh as no dim and distant :prospect of a reward provides. Hav- ing a friend, we feel that we have a reason to persevere. Therefore, to’ be a friend>is a far greater matter than to feel a sentiment. Friend- ship means believing in another person, with such unwavering fidelity that the other says: “I cannot disappoint this expectation. I cannot, because of this compact, give less. than -my best. to the whole of my duty. If I was ever tempted to surrender, I cannot haul down the flag while this one remains who believes in me.” Because human belief in human deings is a quickening force, all the machines that men ean build will never displace those who made them. Persons will still count in every creative scheme, because the supreme accomplishment is never an entirely impersonal process under a soulless di- rection. Somewhere there is a mind in which oth- er minds believe. We who are molded in the im- age of the divine are able to do’many things of our own motion; but we cannot leave infinity and its imponderable purpose out of the final reckoning. We have faith in a power overwatehing and overruling. Our faith is the stronger because, this side of God, there are human beings who believe in us, in whom we. believe. Marvels of 1840 Back in 1840 a book called “The Cabinet of Curiosities” was published in New York. It had a big sale for those times, because the anthor re- alized that every generation thinks it is living in the greatest period of history. Let us consider one of the marvels of 1840 and compare it with the marvels of 1924. We quote from the old book: ’ “The world no longer resembles the world of Columbus. On those unknown seas—above which was seen to rise a black hand the hand of Satan, which seized ships in the night and dragged them to the hottom of the abyss—packets per: form regular voyages for the conveyance of let- ters and passengers. . “Instead of those rude, filthy, infectious damp ships in which you had nothing but salt pro- visions to live upon, and were devoured. by scurvy, elegant vessels offer to passengers cabins wainscotted with mahogany, provided with car: pets, adorned with mirrors, flowers libraries, musical instrumenta and all the delicacies of good cheer. “As for tempests, we laugh at them! Distances have disappeared! Steamboats no longer care for contrary winds on the ocean, or for ‘opposing currents in rivers; they are. floating palaces of two or even three stories, from whose galleries the traveler admires the moet magnificent scen- ery. The genius of man is truly great for his petty habitation.” The travelers of 1840 thought they experienced the final word in luxury and progress when they had safe ships with mirrors on the walls, flow- ers aboard, and genuine carpets on the floor, We wonder what those same travelers would say if they could come back to life and journey on a modern ocean liner with its electric lights, indoor swimming one and radjo music from afar, Or if they could travel in one of those air. a that are making the round-the-world ight. Alas, it is a blow to vanity, but.our ocean lin- ers and flying machines may seem as pathetically crude to people 84 years from now as the pas- senger packets of 84 years ago seem to ue. The only consolation is that the 1840 traveler got as much “kick” out of his generation’s won- ders as we get out of ours or future generations will get from theirs.

This decision ‘disposes quite sharply, against the judgment of the ci »and district courts, of the contention that a. strike against manufacturers which undoubtedly had for one of its objects to prevent continued manufacture and the supply of customers is a violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. The United States circuit court for the eighth cireuit had regarded a strike which had such an intention as_an at- tempt to destroy. the interstate business. of the manufacturers and consequently as being in re- straint of trade under the statute. The supreme court takes quite the contrary view, holding the opinion that unless the complainants, the manu- facturers, were actually obstructed by the strik- ers in pping their products or in obtaining their materials, there was no restraint of com- merce under the act, : “If the circuit court’s decision had been sus- tained, it is easy to see that a ready instrument against strikes would have been put into the hands of the employer. “We cannot think,” says the chief justice, “that congress. intended any such result in the enactment of the anti-trust act.” A strike is, in itself, legal, and within the right of the workers. That has already been de- termined. It appears that, moreover, even a dis- tinet intent to prevent or limit the manufacture and circulation of goods is not in the nature of a conspiracy to reitrain. “It-will be obssrved that three justices of the supreme court, Associate Justices McKenna, Van Devanter and Butler, dissent.from this judgment and take the view that such a-strike as that of the leather workers is against the anti-trust law. But the decision is not quite of the ‘five to four’ kind. It represents the opinion of six members of the court, and: is, of course, conclusive. And it proves anew what all should have known be- fore; that the supreme court is as much a wea- pon of defence for the rights and privileges of the worker as it is of anyone else.” RBAERD DE tes SR PY a A Couple ot Questions gress voted a ofa x a eee ety Was an Taio Seer spective jo! et pa e best esti- mates were that ‘the red tape sa ra Sith the bonus would mean the hi and of salaries to between 4,000 and 5 Penman bureaucrats.

At this period, New: York state was practically the dominant’ capital of that party, and there the actual battle raged, led by the most powerful of the party leaders.
