POLITICS

The melancholy days have come,
the saddest of the year" Not the
days of beautiful autumn leaves. and
all that sort of thing we used TO read
about, and reading. long for the days
of nutting parties and hickory nut
groves.
No. not that-but the melancholy
days of politics and candidates-days
of slush and rubbish. and hot air and
gum shoe. and bull con and rag chew,
and fiattery. praise and poor cigars.
smirking smiles and awkward hand
shakes. mysterious calls and insidious
influences, courtly manners. egotisti-
cal condolences and ridiculous pre-
dictions-days full of worry. work and
woe.
Any newspaperman who is more
than a freshman in the business
knows He knows and in knowing,
has lost many of the illusions of the
game.
He knows the difference in value
placed on newspaper influence before
and after an election. He knows the
value of the old fables about pulling
the chestnuts out of the fire and grind
ing everybody else's axes. He knows
the kind of stun candidates like 10
see in print-and how little they ap
preciate it.
He knows of the quality and quan,
tity of the dope that will be sent out
from several headquarters for him
to feed his readers; He can even
guess the number of waste baskets
1t will require TO carry the stuff out
He knows how the states are fixed
up. how the people rule" how the
times thrown.
II memory covers few years he
knows the men formerly in high
places who fumbled and betrayed the
trust of the people. of some who for
got the rounds of the ladders over
which they mounted to temporary
fame. of exhibitions of ingratitude tc
those who helped Others to climb, oi
the pledges so easily made and Sc
soon forgotten, of meteoric rises and
falls.
He also knows of the machines
built up and discarded. of the favor.
ed ones perfidy and betrayals. OF the
treachery OF subordinates TO superiors,
OF dependents false to their benefac-
tors. of principles sacrificed and con
stituents violated in order that some
seheming politician may bring home
the bacon.

Jobs FOR MEN OVER IS" LOOKS
LIKE STRIKE-BUSTING GAME
That certain big business interests
intended to use the committee for
employment of men over 45, pet
of the commercial interests of the
city, as a strikebreaking proposition
was the story that followed rumor
of strike which may hit the Mer-
chants Eghterage Co. today.
In the Olympic theater mass meet
ing Thursday, when men over 45
who were out of their jobs were
asked to appear and hear job offers
of big business men, a representative
of the Merchants Lighterage Co. ap-
peared and offered workNfor so men
who were strong enough to handle
freight.
"Of course, you must be able to
stand the gaff of freight work up and
down the river" he said. ''You will
get paid 25 cents an hour, but only
during the time you are actually un-
loading or loading freight at the
uOChS.
while you are travelling up or
down the river from dock to dock
you will not be paid. But during the
time you are actually handling
freight you will get. 25 cents an hour.
"a hard worker ought to be able to
pull down $1.75 or 81 day at this.
We can handle so men right now"
Now some say that the hghterage
company was preparing for strike
among it's employees who are dissat-
isfied with the cut in pay, called the
winter scale" The firm intended
usingj the scheme for employing old
men as a strikebreaking agency, the
story goes.
