SCHOOL DAYS
BY GAYLORD NELSON

T was this morning on S. West
St. He wasn't there. In truth
- he seemed to have the &C
cumulated CRIME Of ages on neck and
wrists. All those stratified layers of
Girt couldn't have been deposited in
one short lifetime; they must have
been family heirlooms handed down
from father to son for generations.
A few Of the outer layers had been
barked off from face and hands by
intensive application of soap but
enough remained to indicate his nat
ural state. His clothing was held up
by the grace Of God and safety pin
as is customary with boys the world
over.
At his heels trotted a dog.
Not a pedigreed canine, such as
those on whom they tie blue ribbons
out at the State fair--just a dawg.
He was of no particular breed;
through his veins was spattered the
blood of all canine strains from the
hound of the Baskervilles to the hot
dog Of the sandwich. But he wagged
his tail emphatically and barked
crispIy when spoken to. That's what
a small boy wants in his dog, friend
ship, applause and understanding,
not blue blood.
L was just a small boy, trudging
stolidly and without enthusiasm
toward Public School No. II to be
gin another years exposure to the
scourge Of education. Huh! He'd
just dare the teachers to teach him
anything, he would.
Boy and dog approached the
school; their pace slaoNened until it
required close observe = to reveal
their passage Of a 81. point.

stopped, picked up clod and threw
it, without malice or force, at the
dog
Cit fer home. Chief" he admon-
ished, and the dog sided away with
dropping tail and many backward
glances.
With hands thrust deep into his
pockets. and with shoulders sagging

door.

world has temporarily come to an
end. Vacation is over Aw, gee!

OF
OLDPARTIES
ARE SCORED
They Made No Appeal ION
Platforms, but They Are
Active Now.
Times WASHINGTON Bureau.
1922 NetC York AUe.

E3 ASHINGTON. Sept. S.-This
WI sudden tenderness Of Coolidge
and Davis toward organized
labor means that somebody's scared.
And that somebody is the political
strategists in both old parties and
the financial strategists back Of
them.
They weren't afraid Of organized
labor at the Cleveland and New
York conventions. They didn't
think it worth while to make any
appeal to labor in their platforms.
That was because they knew that
organized labor had been so split
UP politically in the past that there
was 10 such thing as a labor vote in
presidential elections.
Organized workers might be union
men industrially, but politically they
were Democrats. Republicans and
Socialists. BY splitting up their
voting strength politically they
neutrahzed themselves and COM
nanded neither respect nor fear.
When the two old-party plat
forms were made, La Toilette hadn't
been nominated and hadn't agreed to
run. And the American Federation
of Labor hadn't decided to throw its
united political strength away from
the old parties and go along with
the new La Toilette progressive
movement.

- ENR6 FORD DeueNeS, accord
Ill ing to an interview, that the
L big city is doomed, that from
now on the tendency viii be for a
decrease in population. He thinks
big cities have outlived their useful
ness and the mounting cost Of city
life will drive people to the country.
And so on.
Henry may be right, but he over
looks the principal elements respon-
sible for the city.
That is mans gregariousness.
There We're great sprawling cities
before the world dreamed of indus
try, trade or finance in the modern
sense. The only limit to the size of
cities has been transportation. AS
this has improved cities have grown
a er.
To many people living in Indian
apolis, Detroit, Chicago and New
York the advantages and opportuni-
ties of city life far outweigh the cost
of maintaining these big centers of
population. They wouldn't move out
if they could; they frankly like city
life. They prefer thirty years in
Detroit, Chicago, or
New York, as the case may be, to a
cycle in Cathay or a lifetime on a
corn-belt farm.
There are enough Of that sort of
people in the world to keep the
cities growing.
Henry's prophecy may come true,
but some folks don't believe it, or
haven't heard Of it yet.
If you think Indianapolis is des-
tined to become only a wide place
in the road in the near future, just
step down and try to buy the Monu.

choice bit of downtown property.

Soidity Scares Them

The prospect Of an almost solid la
Dor vote for the first time in a presi-
Dental election is what scared the
machine Democrats and Republicans
and their masters.
Unexpected strength of the La Fol
lette-Wheeler ticket all over the
country has the bosses on the verge
Of panic.
La Toilette has forced the fighting.
While both old parties tr1de 10.
straddle on the Khan. La. Toilette
tackled it with bare hands. Then
Davis stepped or a bit farther than
the convention Il at nominated him
and not only denounced the Khan
idea, but named ne Khan.
Next Dawes mentioned the Khan,
but tried to condemn and yet justi-
fy It in the same speech. But Cool
ldge IS still holding back.
The movement of organized labor
toward La Toilette threw another
scare into the old party camps.
Again Davis took the lead, leaped
way ahead of the party platform and
got as close to La Toilette as he
could by jumping on the railroad
labor board and labor injunctions
and taking a stand for the anti-child
labor amendment.
That Special Audience
Republican strategists raade
plea to labor by organizing a special
1,l
free lunch at the White House to
hear Coolidge make a labor talk
without saying anything. Dawes
couldn't pinch-hit for Coolidge on the
labor issue because of his fierce
open record in Chicago, where he
organized for political purposes an
open-shop Klux-like organization of
his own and named it the Minute
Men of the Constitution"
In an attack on Chicago labor
leaders who opposed the reelection
of what they called injunction
judges, General Dawes, Of the Min
ute Men, said:
"A labor injunction restraints men
who want to assault and kill from
carrying Out Sucn praCtlceS.
The tactics Of the Wall Street
strategists who dictated the nomina-
ton of both Coolidge and Davis are
easily understood. Had La Toilette
kept out of the fight, Wall Street
couldn't lose. Either Coolidge or
Davis would be satisfactory. They
could let the politicians in the two
old parties fight each other until
black in the face and not care a
darn. which set of bosses won. 1t
made no difference to the Morgans
and Garys which party machine won
the election so long as they named
the candidates. There was no chance
for the people to win. All they could
do was to choose between hand
picked candidates.
