Plute and Pauper

The plute. he rides in his rich
weary man who tolls on foot up
, the dusty road, his shoulders
SCARED by a heavy load. The plute
rides on in his rich sedan; his chuf-
ifer's livery gold and tan. the shock
absorbers upon his car protect his
form from the slightest jar; the
velvet cushions are broad and deep,
they're soft and restful, inducing
sleep. The plute rides on at indie
cent speed. and he shuts his eyes
and he gives no heed to the man
OH foot, in the dusty track. who
packs a stove on his aching back. or
d cord OF wood. or a bale OF hay ::
and such things chance on the
broad highway. The plute rides on
and he heaveS no sigh for the man
on foot, for the walking guy; for
the plute has griefs OF his own. |
wot: his string OF troubles has made
him hot: ne has TO eat what the
doc prescribes. and can't chew pie
like the toiling tribes; he has the
gout in his swollen feet. and the
throbS are tlerces and the pains re-
peat: the pressures high i'll his
heated blood. and he's apt to croak
with a ghastly thud Ii peradven-
ture he casts an eye from his sedan
on the foot>ore guy he doubtless
says to the chuffer bold. whose garb
is edged with i royal gold. u wish
like him | could freely tread and
pack stove and feather bed:
would not envy the stalled man
who Journeys by in his green
sedan!"

Keeping In Touch With
Country Is Pulling
Question
HAVE PUBLICITY
Keeping Close Eye on
Threatened Movement
In Creation OF Third
Party

Washington. Feb. 12-KeepinG
in touch with the country while
congress is vacationmg is the
problem now absorbing much Of
the attention of both Republican
and Democratic party leaders
here.
The politicians who never ad-
iourn their activities, even when
congress goes home, are prepar-
ing for n spring and summer of
energetic work, the results ol
which they hope will be apparent
in the 1924 presidential campaign,
now only little more than Il
wear away. This work will begin
soon after March 1, and in =
general way, both parties viii
adopt the same means of keeping
the country from forgetting en-
tirely the government at Wash
ington, and the tissues of the
time. These methods may be
grouped thus:
Speeches. interviews and
statements by leading Republi-
cans and Democrats. Both part-
les will maintain adequate pub
licitv services in Washington
throughout the congressional re-
cess. The Republicans will
praise Harding and the Harding
administration. The Democrats
will maintain a criticism squad
here to keep q watchful eye on
the administration. and point our
its shortcomings, from Dem'-
cratic viewpoint.
2-Intensive organization work
in every state and congressional
district. The long congressional
recess gives both parties an or
portunity to devote a great deal
Of time TO rebuilding broken
fences. and erecting new ones.
3-"Fishing expeditions" That
is TO say. efforts to find out how
the people feel about various mat
ters. some of which NAV be poll
cies which the administration
would like to adopt. The fishing
will be an effort to guage as ac-
curately as possible the public
feeling regarding the party In
general, and to prejudice the pop
ular reaction to certain questions
as issues in 1924. t-t-
One thing both parties want
their fishermen" to find out about
is the third party movement
What would happen if Boraf
broke away to lead a revolt
against both the Republicans anc
Democrats? What is the poten
tial strength of the farm bloc a.
party nucleus? Who is the
man most in the public mind ant
heart? What do the people thinl
of Harding now? What do Tx
people want?
These are some of the ques
= tons to which the parties vii
1 seek the answers. The informa
n tion obtained win be laid befor'
$ the national committee of the tw,
major political groups when the!
meet next autumn.
