tics-to make the explanation easy,
that's good. Now, if you can point
to some successful politician who is
mentally lazy.
Three ways have been mentioned
for becoming great: being born great;
having greatness thrust upon us; and
achieving greatness. If haply we find
ourselves included under either of the
first two methods, then we may pity
our less fortunate brothers, but if we
are to achieve any coveted position
for ourselves, what is the best meth
cd of procedure?
We cannot afford to experiment.
This we know: brain power is the ul-
innate standard for the classification
of society. Promotion on any other
basis must be accompanied by un-
certainty. Whatever education may
seek to accomplish, mental develops
ment could never be left out.
All these things we admit, are true,
but we must make a decision that is
to mean so much to us, we must do
some reflective thinking. Have great
er gains been made in years past by
remaining out of school to work? If
we are not in school when we should
be, we are literally selling the best
years of our life for the paltry sum
given us in the form of wages.
Life is our greatest possession.
Then the problem of how to make it
accomplish the most in the way of
success and influence and usefulness,
should be our chief concern.
While we live, time must be spent.
Shall we spend it in development of
our minds and our bodies that shall
in our mature years yield the maxi
mum of satisfaction to ourselves and
of service to the world? Or, would
we profit more to permit our associ-
ates to employ the means of obtain
ing high-school education, which
are provided free here at home, while
we, by sheer physical force, continue
to exc out an existence and passively
allow our brains to remain idle, un-
developed, and thus go thru life and
approach old age with the mental
ability of a child?
Be selfishly liberal with yourself
in the matter of obtaining an edu-

COLORAD0'S HOPE

IMl HERE is CLEAN of light in the
murky political skies of Colora-
do. There is hope-a possi-
bility-that after january 1st the
State House at Denver may contain a
Governor who will possess a Heart,
Conscience and Brain, and who will
restore to the people of this dollar
debauched commonwealth some SEM
blance of constitutional government,
political Justice and civic righteous
ness.
This hope centers around the per-
sonality of William E. Sweet, Dem
yer citizen, who is seeking the nomi-.
nation for Governor at the ensuing
primary election, and whose success
at the November election would be
the most wholesome political circum-
stance that has happened in Colorado
in many a day. Mr.. Sweet has Social
Vision; he glimpses better and
happier civilization. and he seeks
power that he may help prepare the
way for the dawn of the Better Day.
You will not read much about Mr..
Sweet in your local papers, and what
you do read will most likely be false,
because the poor scribblers who edit
the country press are, with few ex-
ceptions, the pawns and poems of Big
Business. They print what the bank
er and merchant PERMITS them to
print-and nothing more. And the
Financial Interests who thrive by ex-
plotting the people who toll will not
approve of Mr.. Sweet. And, therefore,
the country press will lie about Mr..
Sweet, or attempt to suppress him by
silence.
But when you see the name of Will
liam E. Sweet on your ballot you
should know that it stands for MAN
"a man whose heart beats in unison
with humanity's cause and whose
election means a victory for those
who toil-Morton Alexander, in The

which it ships from the obscure port

ANOTHER tale ofthe old South
by Americas greatest story
teller. Mr.. Read is the last of the
able novelists born prior to the
Civil war. He was old enough
during that conflict to have a
clear recollection of it and to
retain some accurate Impressions
Of ante-bellum times. As a re-
suit, he has been the romantic
historian par excellence of Dixie.
"Periwinkle House" is not a long
novel; rather, a novelette,, but It
is the latest work of Opie Read
and therefore an event in liter
ature. 1t contains some new
manifestations of the authors
humor and philosophy, some
character types, a love story, and
a treatment of episodes, all en-

heretofore written by him. Read

With Two Matches In, Amer

to Keep the Trophy.
OUTCLASS VISITORS.
Tilden Brilliantly Defeats
Patterson and Johnston
Easily TriumphS.
By William Abbott.

Just one moro victory and the huge
silver Davis Cup will remain home for
at least another year. 1t is very
likely the final decision will be reached
this afternoon on the turf courts OF
the West Side Club at Forest Hills
when William Tilden and Vincent
Richards, national doubles champions
OF the United States, engage Gerald
Patterson and Pat O'Hara Wood In
one match of doubles in the challenge
round for the historic trophy.
After the sweeping victories OF Til
den and Johnston against Patterson
and Anderson in singles yeste"''~-. the
defenders need only one more match
10 retain possession of the interna- =
1ional cup and the verdict should come
this afternoon.
The identity Of tho defending pair
was not known until after the end Of
yesterdays matches when r. Norris
Williams, team Captain, volunteered
ards would represent the United
States Every tennis fan knew this
was the logical combination and there
was no need of keeping it a secret TO
the last minute.
Tnden and Richards are ma
tional champions. They first won
doubles honors when Richards was
only fifteen years old. The nineteen
year-old blond wizard from Yonkers
is the youngest star that ever repre-
scented the United States in the Davis
Cup series. Despite his youth
Richards is an expert IN the art of
making a tennis BAH do tricks and
the defending team will not be en-
dangered by one as young as Richards
helping in the defense of the coveted
cup.
Australia has sent over many not =
able doubles teams. This country In
the past has been none too we'll for
titled with doubles combinations. bur
in Tilden and Richards there is little
to fear about the result in an en-
counter with Patterson and O'Hara
Wood The Americans will have the
confidence OF having scored one de-
Ctsve victory over the Australians
and if nothing else this alone should
decide this afternoons contest.
The visitors from the other end OF
the earth will start the doubles with
the thought of having made a poor
start in the challenge round with
two defeats in the singles. The
straight-set victory of Tilden over
Patterson and the ridiculously easy
win of Johnston over Anderson won't
improve the morale of Patterson and
O'ETara Wood.
Tilden played a typical Tilden

incidentally they insisted the loan
was in every way an open and above
board financial transaction, differing
in no way from those arranged every
day on Washington real estate.
They declare there is no question OF
lowered morale; on the contrary, the
very fact that the loan is being ar
ranged points to their determination
TO see the strike Is supported in every
lawful manner. Moreover. the union
officials say, and they support their
assertions with figures, that financi-
ally the International Machinists
Union is strong and that the present
loan is merely method of realizing
quick assets.
For example, it was stated, the ma.
chinists have rather large holdings OF
certain railroad bonds. Also. their
funds are invested with view to the
largest possible yield of interest. with
safety. and it Is held desirable to hold
lIl DlNNFllN investments INTACT.
The Machinists' Building, a seven
story structure in Mount Vernon
Square, was built a few years ago by
the international union and is free
from incumbrance. The union. the
leaders point out. can negotiate the
present loan at lower rate of in
terest than any of the securities now
in their treasury pays.
The building is used for national
headquarters, but a considerable part
OF It is rented out The machinists
also are financially interested in two
banks. a newspaper, and other enter
prises.
Incidentally. it was stated to-day,
the finances of all of the various or
ganizations now on strike are in FOOD
shape. What Is known as the Mil
lion Dollar Emergency Fund" has not
yet been touched.
