The two old parties have grown to be so much alike that they-really are two organiz tions controlled by men who make a business of politics, both striving for control of the national and state governments, and both financed in their fights by interests that seek special privileges from government. And there is little difference between them when it comes to tactics. Nei- ther hesitates to play upon both fear and prejudice to fool the voters. La Follette is the only candidate with a party behind him that has a defi- nite program that is at HE Republican party is frankly reactionary all progressive. and hence has little difficulty in getting all the money it needs. It has gone farther this year than ever be- fore in an effort to elect a president who is a willing tool of those who oper- ate “government by the few.” The democrats, in se lecting Dav strong man, with character and unusual! ability. party by adding to it enough of his own personality to dim the memory of the wobbly New York convention.

He has strengthened his Davis is a Yet he has back of him the old democratic party machine, that is as reac- tionary as the republican machine, Probably nothing has happened to iner se respect for Davis so much as his fairness in his attitude toward the framing of Senator Wheeler in Mon- cterization of the bogus issue about the constitution tana, and his frank che as a foolish and unwarr S FOR La Follette, anted scare. the Republican tactics have been dishonest in that their campaign has been shaped to make the people forget the rotten rec- ord of the present administration by parading a lot of fake “scares” that have no foundation. Already some of the reactionary newspaper organs have begun publication of stories about an awful threat of the “Rec go, a job-holding ex-labor leader started a story Only a few day: Menace.” impos- ible and quickly disproved—to the effect that the Russian bolsheviki were ending a big fund to help La Follette. The republican committee, in its publicity, has endeavored all the way thru the campaign, to convince voters that nothing of the kind. La Follette is a socialist, when he is FTER all, how the election goes depends upon how successfully the pro- fessional politicians confuse and fool the people. The old game has been to keep the people divided. In this way a small group of powerful in- to keep control of the government and work their will or their own selfish interest. . They don’t lack cunning, but they dolack vision, or they would see that ‘erests have been able this game can’t go on forever. La Follette’s program means progressive evolution toward real democracy thru the constitution and the ballot. Blocking the Crime Wave IGHWAY robbers are beginning their annual winter harvest in Seattle. Half a dozen “stick-ups” are being reported to police nightly. Burglaries are increasing. Some time ago Police Chief Severyns announced he would seek to stem the rising tide of bootlegging in Seattle by rounding up-every man who could not show he was earning an honest living vagrancy ordinance. It was a laudable aim. have been successful in a But it wasn’t enforced. and “vagging him” under the Carried out, it would doubtless large measure. Policemen, who took it seri- ouly, began to bring in “vags,” a score at a time during the first couple of days. The “round-up” now has fallen off to where three or four constitute the sum total of the day’s “bag.” Such a round-up,, rigidly enforced, would curb _ boot- leggers. And such a round-up, rigidly enforced, would curb also the influx of highwaymen and burglars into Seattle. The time to do it, Chief Severyns, is NOW, before the annual winter crime wave gets too far under way. Checks in ladies’ dress goods have come back, whatever may be sald of habits and modern customs. Who Owns What? {NIGHT between radio broadcasters and authors and own- ers of copyrighted music goes on. Knox, ruling in one instance, says: Federal Judge “The broadcaster of the authorized performance of a copyrighted musical selec- tion does little more than the mechanic who rigs an ampli- fier or loud speaker in an auditorium to the end that persons in remote sections of the hall may heas what transpires upon the stage or rostrum.” The copyrighter’s problem is to keep the boys from crawling in under the cir sion. cus tent without paying admis- Shador HADOWS often flicker when beat quicker when they bring a sudden fright. and he seeps into your room. and the gloom. you lie in bed at night Make your pulse Mister Moon is shining |ahe divorced him | —— Questions * Answered ¢ ed Q What date will Easter Sunday} in 19367 A, April 12. eee Q.

The ZR-3 1s inflated with hy. drogen. Naval regulations pro- vent anything but hellum being used to Inflate their lighter-than air crnft. This in because hellum ts non- explosive, whereas hydrogen is highly inflammable When the cross-country trip of the Shenandoah was planned, the officialy counted on the dirigible getting back to Lakehurst be- fore the ZR-3 arrived. Thoy then planned to deflate the Shenandoah and use the he. lium to replace the hydrogen of the German craft The larger capacity of the ZR-3 waa to be taken care of by shipments of helium from the government producing plant at Fort Worth, Tex The Shenandoah 150,000 cuble requires 2, feet of helium to be properly Inflated, while the ZR-3 takes 2,400,000 cuble feet The problem of what to do with the ZR-3 presents a real di lemma. The craft cannot be fiown with hydrogen; there ts not enough helium on hand to inflate the huge bag, so It ap. pears that the ZR-3 in due for a rest before being shown about the cowntry. With the Forth Worth hellum plant producing leas than 500,- 000 cuble feet of helium a month) the Shenandoah will also be due for a long lay-up when the trans. continental fight in completed. If present plans of using the hellum to inflate the ZR.3 are carried out, more than four months must clapes before additional helium can be manu- factured to reinflate the Shenan. doah, FABLES ON HEALTH IVE your children a definite re. aponsibilliy curly in life! ‘This was a practice with the Mann children, each of whom was assigned to a task that had to be carried out either daily or weekly Since responsibilities are ono day certain to overtake them, a gradual paving of the way makes the final break much ensior, Figure out some certain task, either around the house or in the neighborhood.
