chiefly because the soul of them is getting big
ger and brighter, the heart of them filled more
and more with delight. The sordid, Shiny,
stupid sex appeal of their dramatic forebears
is slumping off, as the public is seeking Joy and
not mere sex thrills. The bankers and the
baseball fars who were in New York last week
brought into town desire to see beautiful
things, so they all went to the spectacles,
and in looking for dramatic entertainment
crowded into the theaters producing the better
type of shows.
THE meeting Of the Bankers Association
was most interesting show itself and
highly significant. For it displayed temper
and tendency that indicate a turning of the
tide in American political life. The speeches,
the resolutions, the governing spirit of the
occasion all indicated distinct trend toward
liberalism. Heaven knows that the American
banker is never Red. But when he DISPLAYS
as he did this year at his meeting a definite
consciousness of our duty toward Europe, a
genuine interest in taking position in the
leadership of the world because we owe it to
the world to lead, belief that the debts of the
world may be somewhat Cancelled in an inter
national clearing house; when he drops all his
foolish talk about the "open shop" and gets
rid OF the notion that he is going to smash the
labor unions, then all these things indicate that

least he is getting a pretty shell-pink flush

years that we should not stand helpless before
this problem Yet when it is solved, when we

A MONG other things discussed at the bank
ers' meeting was third party-what
Mr.. Frank Munsey, who led the discussion,
called liberal conservative" party. Now,
the whole trouble with party similarity in
America similarity which makes partisan
ship a CHASTITY joke-is that both parties, the
Democrats and the Republicans, like to feel
that they are liberal conservatives. And
neither is. Both are nothing. The liberal
forces and the conservative forces divide the
election into more or less liberal and con-
servative "blocs." The liberal conservative
party of Mr.. Munseys dream would not be
whit different from the Republican party or
the Democratic party. What the country
really needs in the way of third party
and once upon time the American Bankers
Association could have called such party
into being--is a frankly intelligent conserva-
tive party. Given such a, party under the
leadership of man like Governor Miller of

meeting they cheered the isolationists in ma
tonal life; the bankers were going to clean up
organized labor and there was real swash-
bucking jingo sentiment manifest in their at
titude toward Europe and toward domestic
affairs. Last year they were bearcats This
year the bankers are tame cats. They are COM
ing to their milk
But at that they afford the perfect audi
ence for our most reactonary orators One
speaker declared that America produced no
common labor because our public schools are
out of sympathy with any sort of hard work
They do not make the man with the pick and
shovel and so, declared the orator, we must
import labor-men and women who will do the
hard, rough work of the world; and who, of
course, will form a. caste of labor quite apart
from American lfe-economic serfs who will
accept lower standard of living than the
American standard, who will have lower social
aspirations than the American aspiration, and
who will be content to toll and moil in the dirt
and CRIME, living on the crumbs from the rich
mans table.
'E'HIS feeling that our American schools are
leading American children into clerkships
and professions away from the hard dirty Jobs

from which the members of the American
Bankers Association are recruited. And it is
true-this feeling that our free schools are

But with nothing in spades, Y has two

His father was British publisher,
John Maxwell, who married NJ. f..
Braddon in 1874. Miss Braddon was
the sister Of Sir Edward Braddon,
Prime Minister of Tasmania. She was
successful novelist, whose vogue began
with favorable notice Of Lady
Audlcy's Secret" in the London Times.
She was the editor of Belgravia for a
number Of years and several of her
novels we're first printed in IT'S pages.
Her son, William Babington Maxwell,

fiction in 1901. He served during the

and this interrupted his literary work.
