over this very important question: %
what is Robins Thinker thinking
If you have ever stood In front II
the Pantheon I'm late years. you have
asked the same question, perhaps
Arthur Brisbane. In one OF his mas.
tcrful editorials few years ngo
sought TO prove that Rodin intended
the Thinker" to be primordai man
and stated that his Uranium was not
that OF the modern male. According
figure out the scheme OF llfe-4trying
To think how his head might be used
to save the work of his hands.
This angle---the primordinl one
has not been touched upon by the
Partisan artists in the present debate.
They assume that Rodin meant his
statue to represent modern man;
such being accepted, then of what
is this modern man thinking?
The New York Evening Post re-
ports the discussions as follows:
IL was all very simple until
some raconteur swore recently
that Rodin told him personally he
had meant 10 portray a man suf-
fering from pangs OF conscience.
tn
rary Of the creator Of lie PEN
seur." who insisted just as stoutly
that he had il from Rodin himself
that he tried To depict the face of
Dante looking into the inferno.
Now third boba up with this
statement. There is something
wrong here. Rodin told me with
his own mouth that he had the
devil I'm mind when he chiseiled
his great work.
A fourth has settled the matter
in these words. condensed: A
number OF people remarked to
Rodin while he was working on
his Thinker" that il reminded
them Of this and that. one onlooker
said II Is picture OF innocence.
Thereupon Rodin stepped up 10
the unfinished work and scratched
"LInnocence" ON the improvisad
base. This chap Immediately went
out and told his friends that he
had just christened Robins lat
est work But when he came
back the title had been scratched
out.
From which It is evident that
Rodin was thinking about num-
her Of things. and probably made
UP hts mind about a number ~
people while at work on his
Thinker
Rodin is dead. n his papers was
found no answer 10 the question un-
der discussion, Your guess Is az good
as that of another. Ours fs that the
sculptor meant for each person to
read into the figure his own answer.
We believe that The Thinker" Is
thinking OF whatever problem YOU
believe il the greatest in the universe.

An Exciting Election Day.

With enthusiasm unrestrained, with
wealth OF enlivening meetings and
parades. the campaign proceeded. with
an excitement that became more and
more intense as election day ap-
preached. Some of the old Federal
election laws were then in force, and
under them United States Marshal
John NJ. Dunn appointed a force OF
deputy marshals, all Republicans, for
service at the polls on election day
Fortunately for the Democrats, they
had the mayor and the police force,
and this protection was enhanced by
deputy sheriffs, all Democrats, OF
course.
Wilmington during all that day was
like a magazine with a torch in close
proximity, but fortunately, no serious
outbreak occurred. But there was
very nearly a riot late in the after
noon, when Mayor Whiteley, going
to Marshal Dunn's office, on the Sec
ond floor of the old Federal Building.
Sixth and King streets, was delayed
there for some reason still unex-
planned, giving rise to the impression
that he had been placed under arrest
by Marshal Dunn. Whether this was
correct or not is a disputed matter to
this day. but Democrats believed it
at that time, and soon the postoffice
corridor was jammed with an angry
mob of the mayors friends, intent
upon bringing him out by force. John

DECISION SOON IN
INJUNCTION CASE
Arguments Today in Suit
Of Howat Against Mine
Workers of America
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, Dec. 27.--The cir
cumstances leading up to the six
months jail sentence which Alexan-
der Howat and August Dorchy are
now serving in the Cherokee county
Jail have no bearing on the suit for
an injunction against John l.. Lewis.
international president of the United
Mine Workers of America. now be-
ing heard in the circuit court here,
1t was declared today. The fact that
Howat and Dorchy are IN Jail will
not be allowed to prejudice their
case here. Judge Samuel a. Dew of
the circuit court of Jackson county,
Missouri, who is hearing the case,
said late today from the bench, in
reply to contention advanced by
Ben c. Gaitskill, attorney for the
Jackson Walker Coal company, one
OF. the defendants in the injunction
suit, that Howat and Dorchy did not
come into court with clean hands as
they were now serving jail sentences
following conviction of violation of a
section of the Kansas industrial
court law.
Court Has No Part.
Judge Dew added that II was now
his opinion, although he had not
made up his mind, irrevocably on
the subject, that the Kansas indus
trial court law had no part in the
Issues before the Missouri court for
hearing which have to do with the
removal from office OF district
union officials OF District IA, United
Mine Workers of America, and the
stoppage Of collection of union reve-
MUGS by Howat and members OF his
executive board. The international
union has suspended autonomy in
District IA. and declared the Howat
board members out of office, and
has established a provisional gov
ernment in District IA.
a few more witnesses Will be
heard tomorrow morning and to-
morrow afternoon attorneys for both
sides expect TO present their -argu-
ments. 1t is anticipated that Judge
Dew will then hand down his deci-
sion as to whether n temporary in
junction, granted December 3, 1921.

international officers Of the United
Mine Workers of America from set
ting up or continuing Il provisional
government in District IA, and re-
straining operators from abandon.
