John Ruskin ECONOMY IS VITAL IN GOVERNMENT Economy in government—this will be heard frequently in the national campaign. It should be heard much. The people should insist upon hearing it—upon having each and every party and candidate and campaign spokesman give pledge for governmental economy. The people should have relief. Taxation has been and is burdensome—much of it annoying. There have been "nuisance taxes" which have galled the people. All these things should be reduced to the simplest terms and the greatest possible reduction consistent with maintenance of governmental efficiency and meeting governmental obligations, should be instituted. There has been too much tendency among party men to promise a great deal, during political campaigns, and then forget the promises after election. The people should get after poor memories and prod them up. There should be vehement insistence, from the people, upon fulfillment of tax-reduction pledges. No person should have license to drive an automobile in this state who is a careless driver, or who is menacingly incompetent. The state should set up a rigid test, to speed out the undesirable drivers. POLITICIANS PUZZLED OVER NEW VOTERS Page some 8,000,000 young folk, who, in November will vote for the first time in a Presidential campaign. The political managers would like to have a heart to heart talk with them and find out how they stand. This, of course, cannot be done. Just how these first time voters will vote is one of the POLITICIANS PUZZLED OVER NEW VOTERS Page some 8,000,000 young folk, who, in November will vote for the first time in a Presidential campaign. The political managers would like to have a heart to heart talk with them and find out how they stand. This, of course, cannot be done. Just how these first time voters will vote is one of the most perplexing phases of the national campaign. It is well to keep party leaders guessing. It is well to have all the parties on tenter-hooks. The people should do this, more and more. There should be the utmost independence among voters. Each and every candidate and each and every party should stand or fall on its merits, and the voters should be independent in passing judgment thereon. This would necessarily put all parties on their very best behavior. In national affairs, the dominant party must reckon with the people every two years. A party ma have the President and a working majority in both houses of Congress. But if the people disapprove of the administration, in two years they can elect a House hostile to the administration, and thus block it in much that it might do. So the governing powers at Washington are hedged about by frequent opportunities for the people to pass judgment on them. He who wantonly wastes water is an enemy to the public welfare. As all the Presidential candidates have accepted nomination, it remains to be seen which one of them is to be accepted by the people us next President.

TAGGART'S DEPENDABLE USED CARDS An American seated himself in a London restaurant and eyed the menu. Presently the waitress came along to take his order. "I'll have a couple of boiled eggs and a kind word," said the American genially. In a few minutes the order was executed. "That's slick!" said the customer, "but about the kind word." The waitress bent close to his ear and whispered, "Don't eat the eggs." In the suburbs an old man, nearing 80 years of age, lives alone in a large house. Next door to him live the Smith family, who look after the old gentleman's every need. Much expertly cooked food finds its way from Mrs. Smith's kitchen to the old man's table, and Mr. Smith never goes to bed at night without first going in to see that his neighbor is settled for the night. Mr. Smith also attends to his financial affairs and is his friend and adviser in all things. A few days ago the minister called upon the old man. On leaving he said: "Good-by, my friend, and may God bless you." And the old gentleman, who is a little hard of hearing, replied with a smile: "Oh that's all right. Smith will 'tend to that.' He 'tends to everything for me." Every time a rich man is tried for murder we have to learn to spell that darned word "psychristist" again.—Peoria, Ill., Star. SALS VETERAN OF L.

WHO'S WHO IN THE DAYS NEWS KDGAR A. BANCROFT Edgar "Addison Bancroft, corporation lawyer of Chicago, has been chosen to succeed Cyrus E. Woods as ambassador to Japan. Bancroft, who is a brother of Frederic Bancroft, the historian, will be 67 years old in November. He is a member of the law firm of Scott, Bancroft, Martin & MacLeish.

He practiced law in Galesburg, later going to Chicago, where he became solicitor of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway, and served in the same capacity with the Chicago & Western Indiana.

LABOR LEADERS CANNOT DELIVER VOTES OF THE ORGANIZATION HANKS." SALS VETERAN A. F. OF L. MAN "Labor leaders who attempt to sell politicians the idea that they are able to deliver on in influence to any great extent the vote of organized labor are merely kidding themselves." So said Richard H. Powers, one of the founders of the American Federation of Labor, in a recent interview. Powers was discussing the announcement of Pres. Samuel Gompers that the A. F. of L. would back LaFollette. COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying COLLEGE MEN IN POLICE WORK—San Bernardino Sun The city of Palo Alto, where is located the great Leland Stanford Jr. University, has a college graduate for its chief or police, and its force is to be recruited from the university. This is not that persons apprehended may be catechised in accord with the latest principles of psychology, or that those of the unfortunate who may have had university training, as many of the down-an-outers have, may find a more elevating and congenial atmosphere within the barred windows of the city calaboose, but that more intelligent methods of dealing with delinquents may be used. California is the paradise of the tramp and the hobo. The highways are lined with men and boys, either with blanket rolls or without them, all "bumming rides" from place to place, without any real reason for changing their locality except surrender to the lure of the elsewhere. Many of these are confirmed tramps, not aware to "lifting things" when convenient. Others are regular "lifters". Still others are men of itinerant instincts, but not below the average standard of honesty. Many others are boys and young men just getting their introduction into the irresponsible life of the open spaces and touring the country in the automobiles of good-natured travellers, thus laying the foundation for a wasteful life for themselves and uselessness to the state. It is quite certain that the man who gives a ride to these youths is doing them more harm than good, because he is helping them in a life of wandering uselessness, more often degenerating into crime and social menace. It is the idea of this university chief of police, that something should be done for "floaters" other than to urge them to "move on" as a means of protecting the immediate community in which they happen to be from any possible depredation at their hands. That does not protect other communities nor does it tend to convert the floater from a wandering menace into a more stable and useful citizen. Formerly the irresponsible wanderer had to walk most of the time, when not riding brake beams, but now he is picked up in some machine and whirled 100 miles or more in a single ride. He may commit some depreduction and be many miles away in a few hours. It is clear that there is neither protection against the menace of the wanderer nor cure of his wandering in compelling hfm to move on. That is what he is doing anyway. Nor is it good ethics nor sound policy for one community to protect itself by shoving its menaces upon other communities. Nor is it desirable to imprison those who may be going from place to place without means of travel or support. It is true the trump evil is being increased by the greater speed of getting from place to place, and it is also true that we have not not this increase with an improved solution of the trump evil as a whole.

MAN "Labor leaders who attempt to sell politicians the idea that they are able to deliver or in influence to any great extent the vote of organized labor are merely kidding themselves." So said Richard H. Powers, one of the founders of the American Federation of Labor, in a recent interview. Powers was discussing the announcement of Pres. Samuel Gompers that the A. F. of L. would back LaFollette. "It can't be done. Like other Americans, the members of organized labor vote according to their own dictations. And, most important of all, the organized and unorganized workers more readily understand the 'bread and butter' language and accept it in preference to the advice of labor officials." When election time rolls around in November, we'll see both organized and unorganized workers voting en mass for Calvin Coolidge and Charles G. Dawes. See LaFollette on Wane. He said signs of failure for the LaFollette movement are visible now. "The LaFollette hysteria that some labor leaders are trying to innoculate into the working classes," he said, "will simmer out like the effervescence of soda water long before election day." Signs have already begun to appear which indicate that enthusiasm has begun to wane in LaFollette's various labor camps. The workers are getting wised up to the entire program which means absolutely nothing at all to them unless it means a period of slack times if the program should be successful. "The working class wants a continuation of good times and the full dinner pull. They realize that anything like LaFollettelism can mean only a four or six-year period of depression. That's something they want to avoid." "A glance over European conditions is sufficient to inform the workers in this country of the extent of the good times here. High wages, steady employment are essential matters that both organized and unorganized labor will consider as vital on election day." Under the Republican administrations of Harding and Coolidge the working classes have enjoyed large measures of success. Last year building construction in 29 cities amounted to $3,099,694.905. And the significant part of it is that private garages outnumbered any other class of buildings. In the residential line there were 211,235 one family buildings erected, while private garages numbered 211,825. Says Labor Is Contented. "The tremendous building boom now going into its fourth year reaches back to ore mines and other sources of industry and adds compelling him to move on. That is what he is doing anyhow. Nor is it good ethics nor sound policy for one community to protect itself by shoving its menaces upon other communities." Nor is it desirable to imprison those who may be going from place to place without means of travel or support. It is true the trump evil is being increased by the greater speed of getting from place to place, and it is also true that we have not met this increase with an improved solution of the trump evil as a whole.
