Speaking the other day to his fellow sol
diers. forming the American Legion" Gen
Pershing said:
81 would be glad TO give encouragement
TO the American Legion as long as 1t keeps
its skirts clean from petty politics.
In this remark the general uttered what
Is common and universally accepted belief,
to-wit: That there is something dirty" in
politics
What is it?
You can't possibly have democracy
without politics. Democracy Is politics. 1t
is absolutely essential that all citizens be
interested and take part in public affairs.
Why should there be anything soiling in
this?
II is certain that there is a septic some
thing in political life. something that natur-
ally creates Boss Tweeds something that re-
pels decent minded business men, something
that makes us fearful of allowing women TO
vote lest they become smirched, something
that seems to function automatically to ele-
vate cheap second-raters TO the mayoralty
and governorship. something that stinks Of
graft and raises presumption against the
honesty of campaign speakers, something
that even taints brilliant and first-class
minds like Senators Lodge and Knox, and
that induces even such really high and
honest statesmen as Wilson. Roosevelt,
Grant, and Mckinley TO do things we wish
they would not-things unworthy of them.
What is it?
1t is the Political Party.
We accept il as indispensable, and as
American. 1t is not.

The Elopers
BY EDMUND VANCE COOKE

Adolphus was n comely youth
Who loved Jud Judsons daughter Ruth.
But Judson scoffed his passion:
And so the youthful pair eoped
BY dint OF dark. and blankets roped,
In quite the ancient fashion.
At first. in furious pursuit.
And threatening Of fist and boot,
Jud Judson raised n riot
But later, simmered down to find
His wife and he grew quite resigned
To pristine peace and quiet
Ana then one day hasty wire
Reached Jud and almost set on fire
The choicest OF his collars
IL read: Were coming home 10 live.
Let's all forget and all forgive.
Please wire us fifty dollars"
The happy pair arrived to find
a note pinned on the window Bind
Though not quite what they hoped.
IT read Dear children--Got your wire
The cost OF Twins gettin' higher;
Me and your ma's--elopedr'

FROM REDS HERE
Mondell Says Radicalism Is
Result of Repression and
Autocracy.

That there is no danger OF Bolshe-
vism getting a firm grip on this coun-
try was inferentially stated by Rep
resentative Frank w. Mondell, of Wy
oming. Republican floor leader, in an
address at George Washington Uni-
versity chapel exercises yesterday.
Under governments of repression
and autocracy the only outlet, as the
populace see II, is radicalism," said
Mr.. Mondell. That is the reason for
the wave Of Bolshevism that now is
sweeping what once was autocratic
Europe.
THE American government is a
government OF complexity and sim
plicity-complex in that It is based on
local. municipal. county and State
units, and simple in that all Of these
units are based on the doctrine Of the
sovereignty of the individual"

clared today that Burleson should
have reduced rates more than one
half
"Burleson says We are entitled to
only $3.50, 900 year for the use OF

we did earn $4,2S9,00o. Now. as

should have reduced telegraph rates
over one-half and should collect
only from the public what we are
entitled to earn and what he pro-
poses to pay us. namely $l,6s0.ooo'
Instead of that he increased the
