HOPE ON
BY Walt Jason

Hope on, hope ever, say the seers,
who're packed with wisdom to their
ears and have good sense to burn;
though things look dark" the sages
say, "and crises face 5 every day, the
good times will return" The wild
men raise a frightful noise; but
through it al 1.-The wise old boys keep
saying, Don't lose faith; it's true CON
ditions are a scream, but shortly all
these things will seem a pipe dream
and a wrath" There is a carnival OF
crime, and undertakers spend their
time embalming murdered men; but
still the wiseold sages cry, These
crazy times will oon pass by, and
sense will come again" Suspended
are established rules; the workingmen
throw down their tools at every pass
ing whim; and still the sages make
their cracks: The world will soon
get down to tacks, We'll all be in the
swim" When l wade through the
daily news I'm threatened with a case
of blues. so many things are wrong;
delirium each nation has, and life is
like a Darktown jazz, that should be
, one sweet song. But while I'm signing
can hear the cheer-up message OF
the seer. who does a crouch disdain;
These ragtime things will pass away.
and there will dawn a better day, when
we will all be sane"

Appealing TO the Spirit of the People

Vice-President Coolidge, in his address last
ne believed the American people must depend
upon their own character and national spirit for
amelioration of conditions and b~etterments of all
kinds. 1T is time to supplement the appeal to
law, which is limited, with an appeal to the spirit
of the people, which is unlimited" he declared.
He stressed the point that there is no
abysmal gulf between the people and our insti-
tutions and government, but that "our govern
ment is their government. Our laws are their
laws. It is for them to enforce, support and
obey. If in this they fail, there are none who
can succeed"
The reliance upon national character, the
vice president observed, has never been betrayed.
In the last analysis, Vice President Coolidge has
presented the very fundamental theory upon
which a democracy operates and which makes
it successful.
We too often overlook the responsibility
which we as individuals owe to the government
of which we are an integral part, believing that
the government is an organization apart from
ourselves and operating as an agency that
makes, interprets and enforces the law. When
the government speaks, we speak; when it acts,
we act; and consequently, as the vice president
points out, if we fail to cooperate, a highly
efficient and capable government is impossible.
He also voiced a highly important truth that
under our form of government, the supreme
court exercises a function which cannot be

ductor, and ask you if you have made
a reservation at any New York hotel
If not, he will hand you a little folder
the names of a large num-
Der of hotels. together with their ex-
plicit locations and schedules of prf
ces. If any one of the number hap
pens to be crowded on that particular
day, its name will be crossed off the
list.
At the present time, it seems, there
is a lamentable lack of knowledge
among railroad employees concerning
the capacity and sterling service Of
many of the city's best taverns- Time
and again, it is charged, strangers on
their first visit to New York are in
formed by porters that it would be
useless for them to attempt to get
in the large hotels, which ARE filled
to the brim with a big convention"
and are directed instead to lodging
houses and more or less questionable
places. The porters are well acquaint-
ed with these, because they are paid
a fee for each guest recommended to
them.
But the responsibility Of the "Wel
come Stranger committee does not
cease with the establishment of the
visitor in a safe and becoming place
Of abode. 1t feels in duty bound to
steer his subsequent ~wanderings
about the city; to see that he appre-
ciates the best side of New York and
to guard him as far as possible from
petty thievery. People who have their
wallets stolen on the third day they
are there seldom cherish any desire
to return a second time, while even
the pleasant memory of an excellent
Broadway comedy cannot eradicate
the painful impression of a taxi fare
that was three times what il should
have been.
Thus, while half of the committee is
devoting its time to interesting visi-
tors in all the worthwhile features of
New York-its art museums. its mu-
sic, its educational activities, its extra
ordinary health record and its gaity-
the other half will be waging a cam
paign against dishonest taxi drivers
and unreliable public porters. In
other words, a gallant effort is going
to be made to make New York live
up to its new reputation for beauty
and virtue.

abridge without vitality injuring the whole sys-I
TEN and giving to the legislative department a
power that would be dictatorial and tyrannical
In a reference to the the proposal to give con-
gress power to make valid a law which the SUI
preme court had declared unconstitutional, Vice
President Coolidge said:
such a provision would make the congress !
finally supreme. In the last resort its powers
practically would be unlimited. This would be to
do away with the great main principle of our
written, constitution, which regards the people
as sovereign, and the government as their agent,
and would tend to make the legislative body SOW
ereign and the people its subjects. It would, to
an extent, substitute for the will of the people,
definitely and permanently expressed in their
written constitution the changing and uncertain
will of the congress. That would radically alter
our form of government and take from it its
chief guarantee of freedom"
A tendency has been noted which would have
the government perform many functions which
the citizens himself should do. We seem to have
lost some of the independence of the forefathers
who resented to much activity by the govern
ment, preferring to do for themselves some Of
the things which we now ask the government
to do.
Multiplicity of laws and the changing of sys-
TENS seldom serve a good purpose, but an en-
lightened public opinion and a determination to
enforce the law does conserve and promote the
public welfare. If we understood the response
bility which each of us bears in making the city,
county, state and nation better, there would be
no need for more laws.
We have grown lax in our appreciation of the
sacred duty which we owe to each other through
our government. The strengthening of this
character element, as the vice president rightly
said, will accomplish more than the enactment of
laws to attain specific purposes. The raising Of
the standard of human relationship is a pFopo-
sition to which all of US should address ourselves
with an earnest spirit.

wildering plumbing of the best New

the conductor will probably throw in
a word or two about the wisdom OF
buying your theatre tickets anywhere
