Time for Jokers

(Montgomery Times)
 Politics may be expected to be played from now on to the end of the legislative sessions and 1t Is al- ways just at this stage of the game, in the haste and thought lessness in passage of bills that the bad laws are enacted. Every legislator should make a rule to vote for no bill that he does not thoroughly understand. In that way the jokers can be discovered adn kept out and in no otherway.

By THOMAS R. MARSHALL, Former Vice President of the
 United States

Early in April, 1917, a young man had never met sought an in terview with me. His name I shall not attempt to spell. I can't pro- nounce 1t even yet. Had one been searching for an American this young man would have been the last among the hundred and ten million he would have picked, be- cause of his foreign name. I found him to be a fine, upstand- ing chap of about thirty years. He was engaged in a business which required his personal atten- tion. and. I learned, the moment he ceased to give it his own at tention the business would cease to be. He was convinced that it was his duty to enter the army, and lis intelligence and expert ence made it probable that he could serve his country better as an officer than private.
 At tho time we had not yet learned how much show of force it would be necessary for us to make in order to impress the im- perial German government wi.h our deliberate intention to sacri- flee. if need be, every dollar and every man to the winning of the war. It was at an hour when thought that there would be plenty of foot-loose volunteers to meet all the needs of the repub- lie. I was informed of the strug- gle that the man had made to develop the business in which he was engaged and I failed to see how just then any duty or desire would induce him to sacrifice the results of his enterprise in order to furnish one more man or one more officer to the expeditionary force. His language and conduct so impressed me that l ventured to inquire what was behind his burn ing zeal to get into the army and to get in at once. His answer was story of how right-thinking persons become loyal, devoted, self-secrificing Americans.
 It was ths story of his family. need not name the country of his ancestors. It is sufficient % say that in the forties of the last century flame for the freedom of people had flashed, seeking to burn up the tyranny of centu- | ries. It had been snuffed out. The young mans father, left an orphan at four years of age, was brought to the United States, where he fell into tho hands of sturdy farmer In ono of the Eastern states. Amid rural sur roundings he spent his boyhood. He was sixteen years old when the

The Repupilcan national com mittee will hold a session in Wash ington the second week in De- cember to give hearings to Cleve- land, San Francisco and Chicago, which would entertain the Repub- lican convention of 1924,
 It Is stated that the hearings will be fairly conducted, and that the city with the most allurinE offer, financial and otherwise, will be selected.
 President Coolidge has told everybody that he is entirely in- different as to whether the con vention Is held in Cleveland or Chicago or San Francisco or any other American city.
 Thus, the position of everybody is outlined, that of the claimant cities, the committee and the pres ident.
 Representatives of the claimant cities will come to Washington the second week in December and present their respective claims to the committee.
 The committe will then retire and select-Chicago
 It is fore ordained.
 And yet it is said that Chicago has grown so accustomed to the quadrennial pow-wows of Republi- can political manipulators that 1t treats such pow-wows and such manipulators almost with con- tempt. At any rate, 1t doesn't rush forward to welcome the dele gates.
 Why Is 1t 0 practical certainty that Chicago will be chosen?
 Well, there Is the word of Fred W. Upton of Chicago. He had just returned from Europe when he announced that the convention would be held in Chicago. He had not consulted with anyone. Presi- dent Coolidge or the chairman of the committee.
 Why does Upton know in ad- vance?
 Well, Upton Is treasurer of tho committed He Is depended upon to collect the sinews of war. It is necessary that Upton be pleased.
 And Upton wants Chicago to have the convention.
 Upton's value to the nominee will be unquestioned when 1t Is recalled that he collected s20,ooo. 900 for the Harding campaign And Harding got two-thirds of vote for every dollar that Upton expended.
 Upton can do again what he did for Harding. And thus the Re- publicans, we'll equipped with money, will know exactly how 10 conduct their campaign.
 Of course, there are other req sons why the Republicans favor Chicago. The G. o. P. was organ ized there and there Lincoln was nominated. And Republicans when they start for their conven- tions, almost invariably turn their faces toward Michigan Boulevard
 They believe that Chicago Is lucky for them. Some of them adhere to the idea that they are taking a great chance, running an unnecessary risk, when they convene in any other spot.
 It is not to be doubted that Cool idge is indifferent as to which city is made the convention city Had the Democratisc convention of 1912 been held in St. Louis Clark, in all probability, would have been nominated. If the con- vention of Republicans next year is held in San Francisco, would not the opportunity of Hiram Johnson be enhanced?
 And yet 1t Is natural that Cool idge should feign indifference. Tn all probability he knows, as well as other people know, that Chi cago will be chosen.

LET'S WORK HARD

How many of us took home re-
port cards that we were ashamed to
show to our parents? We cannot
blame our fathers and mothers for
getting such poor grades for they
know as well as we do that we could
get much better if we worked a little
harder. We may tell them that the
teachers are unfair and that we did
our very best, but they know about
how much of this is true.
OF course, we realize that these
red marks are caused from lack of
study Most of us take our books
home nearly every night with good
intention to stay home and study
but we get a chance to go to the pic
ture show or a dance and our good
intentions are forgotten. The next
day we either stay home all morning
or go to school sleepy and get very
low grades.
Beginning now, let's stay home
and study our lessons every night
and try to bring home a report card
for the next six weeks that will
please our parents.
