NEW POLITICAL PARTIES
(The New York Evening PoSt)


Because any group or gathering of men and
women is perfectly free to found new party,
it does not follow that they can do it. The
essentials remain as of old The members must,
in the first place "thnk the same of the re-
public" But this iden1 Sentre is hard to put
into definite form. TIL, trouble at once appears
of many men of many minds. If you insist
upon your pet doctrine, | will upon mine. This
instantly results either in an irreconcable diff
ference, in the very practice of bartering and
swapping to make a platform, which is so bit
tery condemned in the old parties. In the end
the ancient round is travelled again. The new
party seeks to be a catch-all; puts forth no
single, clean-cut body of political doctrine; and
asks voters to take the plankS that please them
and ignore those that they dislike Thus the
more you create new party the more it looks
like an old one.
After thinking alike, if you can command it,
comes action together After the ideal aSpira-
tion ways and means have to be devised. Par
ties cannot live air. They must have organ
zation and funds. They must comply with
the election laws, which freely open the door
to new parties, but lay upon them burden
of securing Petitions and so on. This means
labor and money. And it often happens that
in this necessary process of tranSlating ideals
into actualiteS fervor COolS and encouragement
sets in Moreover there is one question that
always arises to hamper the separatists. Why
not induce one of the old parties to adopt your
ideas? Then we could work through existing
political machinery instead OF having to invent
new
To this, the history of American parties gives
point. Far from being, or desiring to be, snug
little monopolieS the two leading parties, how
ever named, have always been alert to detect
new movements and to seek to annex them.
The Populist party of thirty years ago rose
and spread and became good deal OF power
in western states, but then expired, largely be-
cause, as its own leaders admitted, most of
its ideas had been adoltet, by Democrats or
Republicans or by both. Demonstrate to any
party manager that there exists distinct and
growing body of voters ready to back given
idea, and he will immediately do his best to
open his mind, and that OF his party, to
hoSptable reception Of that idea-along with
the voters behind it. Anybody can found
new party But to prerent its being absorbed
by an old one requires political genius

HER FIRST EPRETTY DRESS"
(The Dalton Citizen.)

Every phase of life and literature is re-
1lected In the news of the day. We are ac-
cuStomed to patriotism, gaiety, humor and sor-
row IN the reading of the daily papers, but the
following paragraph from an Atlanta paper sug-
geStS scene of pathos Swathed in human in
tereSt that we cannot pass without comment:
"Albany, Ga.-When little five-year-old
girl dressed in the new dress furnished her by
local missionary society, and laid out in the
plain pine box coffin at the home of her mother
in the cotton mill district yesterday, the heart
broken mother stood beside the coffin and de-
clared amid her tears that the childs shroud
was her first pretty dress;' that all her life
her little girl had .'anted pretty dress but
that the high price of groceries and other neces-
sites had been such that she had never been
able to satisfy this want the part of her baby"
Home mission work it was to find this dis
treSSed family and give the child clothes for her
burial, but, OH the pity that her earnest longing
tor one pretty dress could not have been real
led before going beyond where all raiment is
pure and white
There is much good being done today, but
there is work yet untouched In many instances
however, it is lack of acquaintance with the
need rather than an unwillingness to answer
the call. Perhaps right in our community there
are dozens of little girls who have cherished the
hope of getting "pretty dress" or something
else that charitable men and women would give
freely if they but knew specific instances where
their dollars would carry gladnesS
AS "charty vaunteth not ITSELF" so some of
the most worthy of need do not sound
clarion call for assistance. Therefore, it be-
comes the duty of the charitable to seek the
homes where sickness, cold or hunger Turk and
to better bad con ltons before they become
worse. The poor'S S. o. S. call for help is
caught by the attuned receivers of charity Or
CARNATIONS, and if you would like to help some
needy family or furnish the "pretty dress" for
child that has never had one, a gift to the
organizations looking after the poor will be very
acce ptabe.

IDEALISTS
BY DR.. Frank Crane

i.
The laws of the universe are never apparent
Whatever seems true is not true
All these statements illustrate themselves
tor they are obviously false, yet contain a core
of truth.
that are deusions. H has to learn the reality
For instance the sun does not go around the
earth, the earth is not flat, dew does not fall,
chair legs and matches are not edible, despite
appearances.
remember when boy how amazed was
at the first lie l heard, 1t had never before
occurred to me as possibility that what one
says. is not always so.
Now, the dealiSt is simply the man who has
penetrated beneath the surface illusion, pierced
the Maya, so to speak, and sees the reality
of things. He is grown up He has adulthood
of mind.
The so-called practical person, who takes
things as they are, who tOlerateS no nonsense
is not grown up. He is still a baby. He still
insists the sun goes around the earth--why
there it goeS-cant you see it?
Hence when mind with vision declares that
"the meek shall inherit the earth," that you
can conquer a man bv returning good for evil
and that you can run him out of town by
turning the other cheek" when he smites YOU
all the chorus of bullfrogs below, absurd!
NonsenSe Ridiculous!
But the ideal persists "The eternal years
after twenty centuries his prisoners are forgot
ten. Jesus is the most passionate appeal to
the race, while His practical executionerS are
saved from oblivion only by Him. :.
The ideaiStS have abolished gladiatoriaI
games, punishment by torture, monarchc
tyranny, human slavery and po1ygamy
And they shall abolish war.
The practical man says simply that thing
cannot be done with conditions as they are.
Which is true. But the idealist changes the
conditions
The practical man is king of the present
The idealiSt is snlitten with the future.
The politician is practical. The statesman
is ideaSt.
The practical soul achieves the possible. The
dealiSt does that which is impossible; he is
always at something that cannot be done
The practical man succe ds. He grows fat
and rich. He gets elected. He does things.
The dealiSt usually fails. But his blood is
the seed of progress.
The idealiSt leads. The practical follow.
Practical folk fly in machines which dealiSts
dreamed for them.

ooh the prophets, bardS and SeerS,
In the horoscope of nations,
Like ascending consultations
They control the coming years"

unworthy OF any great land to say to
obliged to you; you have served your
purpose and we need you no longer
and have left them to the Bolshevik
troops, II Is duty, since we asked
them TO take this step, to promise them
support, We are not sending troops,
because every Russian thought that #
Russia were to be redeemed she must
be redeemed by her own sons, and they
asked that they be supplied with the
necessary arms,
1T Is our policy to make peace among
the warning nations, not by recognizing
one party. but by inducing them to
come together with a view to setting
up some authority In Russia which
would be acceptable to the whole Rus
sian people and that the allies could
recognize as their government" He did
not despair, he said, of a solution being
found,
After declaring that reliable lnforma-
ton showed that although the Bolshe-
vik armed force was apparently grow

waning, and breaking down before the
relentless force of economic facts" the
premier said when Bolshevism disap-
peared then would come the time to
re- establish peace with Russia.
I'VE must have patience he warned.
because we are dealing with a people
misgoverned for centuries, There are
unmistakable signs that Russia is
emerging and when she Is once more
SAINT and normal the allies should make
peace with her"
In answering a question %propounded
by John X. Clynes, labor leader,
whether approaches for peace had come
from Russia, the premier said.
I'VE have had no approaches Of any
sort or kind. None have been put be-
fore tho conference. | have only heard
reports that others have proposals
which they assume come from authentic
quarters"
