try-like Paul Jones-has just begun

time preparing for it. judging from
an article in the Philadelphia Pub
lie Ledger of 1s43. in which Robert
Surall Wood. a corresponding mem
ber Of the National Institute for the
Promotion of Science, the forerunner
of the Smithsonian Institution. takes
issue with a scientific writer for the
New York Sun of April of that year
relative to the nutriment in foreign
and domestic wheat, in which he
says: 1T is the gluten, the albumen
and caseine as well as the soluble
sulphates and phosphates which con-
tributes to the maintenance OF our
tissues in perfection" Climate, he
thought, had much to do with the
production Of these constituents. But
they were clearly feeling the need
for obtaining them.

vote for Coolidge leaves no manner

The Baltimore Sun independent
Democratic), which had been one of
the leading supporters of John W.
Davis. declares: The result means
that 100000 citizens or more cast
their votes for the Republican candi-
dates" and adds: 1T is inconceivable
that they meant thereby TO express
Indifference to the character Of lead
ership that Is shown in the White
House or to buttress the power and
influence of special privilege in the
halls of Congress- The Louisville
Courier-Journal emocratic) holds
that the people voted to keep Presi-
dent Coolidge in the White House
because many Of them who would
not have voted for him otherwise
were afraid to risk change. That
fear, the Courier Journal adds, was
not for John w. Davis, but because
the ridiculous bugaboos of La Fol-
lette and Bryan were raised before
them and, befuddled by their fears,
they were not sufficiently in COM
mand of their wits to appreciate how
ridiculous those bugaboos were"
The Dayton News of Mr.. Davis
as Democratic nominee,
James NJ Cox, declares, The move
ment which carried Mr. Coolidge on
the crest of a great political wave
was born of and maintained by the
esire to keep the commercial affairs
Of the country on an even keel and
not take any chances in the disquiet-
ing possibilities Of a change" While
the New Orleans Times Picayune
independent Democratic) sees in
President Coolidge such a close re-
to the average man that
"in promoting him to and sustaining
him in the greatest office in the world,
Average America promoted and sps-
tanned an imagined other self, con-
scious of a subtle self fiattery that
such a man could rise to such heights
and there face and outdo the great
ones Of the world"

Constitutional Amendments.

1t Is noted that in several States
where proposed constitutional amend
inents were submitted to the voters at
the election last week the people gen
orally refused to modify the funda-
mental laws Of their States. Of the
20 questions placed on the ballots in
- States 10 We're rejected and only
10 were approved. Michigan rejected
three amendments. one abolishing
parochial schools. another providing
for a State income tax and the third
reapportioning the Legislative dis
tricts. Kansas rejected a bonus pro-
posal and also q taX-law change
North Dakota refused to increase
taxes and to enforce a reduction Of
State expenditures. South Dakota re-
jected plan for a constitutional con-
vention and other propositions. Ne
hraska turned down a direct primary
plan. Gasoline taxes were approved in
Minnesota and Missouri. Various
other questions were voted on in other
States. and the trend was against
Modification of the constitutions.
Just how far this tendency against
constitutional amendment was due to
the reaction against the third party
proposal for change in the Federal
Constitution affecting Supreme Court
decisions on constitutional questions
cannot be determined. but there is
reason to believe that the voters, who
Enthusiastically turned against the La
Toilette proposition to that effect,

doubt be expensive, although feast
bic If made under open spaces and
parks somewhat similar to the under

logical solution. 1t would seem,
would be to have large auto apart

in advantageous localities. Those

whether these should be privately or
publicly owned is a question upon
which the court does not venture an

Much progress has already been
made along these lines in the con-

where autos have been parked on

publican) suggests that Harding's
victory was largely vote of dis
satisfaction and protest against the
Wilson administration, and adds,
victory is a mighty ex-
preston of confidence and approval"
While the Pittsburgh Gazette Times
(Republican) declares the people
have reafflrned their faith in the
American principles of Government
that are exemplified in the practices
and policies of the Republican party,
they have emphasized their confidence
in President Coolidge" The out
standing lesson Of the Overwhelming
victory in the opinion of the Kansas
City Post (Republican) "is the indts-
putable fact that the American voters
demand representative majority Gov
eminent and not Government by
classes or blocs-and especially not
the view of the Buffalo Evening
News (Republican) It Is "emphatio
reputation of those who appealed to
passion and prejudice to destroy the
form of Government under which
this country has developed-a repudi-
alton of those who planned a march
toward Socialist commonwealth"
The people have looked through
and beyond the faults of a few un-

declares the Grand Rapids Herald
independent Republican,. "to see
the probity and the reliability of
an erstwhile Vice President who
faced emergency with calm courage,
who never failed a rendezvous with
duty, who does the days work, and
who represents those higher qualities
of heart and mind and conscience
which reflect true Americanism at
its best" TO this the Des Moines
Register independent Republican,
adds: "All sorts of reasons can be
given for what happened at the polls,
but when all has been said there
remains this foundation fact, that
the people have confidence in Cool

ment of the people that big, safe,
sane man abides in the White House;
that when he spoke for retention
of the Government as the fathers
passed it on he spoke as one might
speak who was inspired"
From the Democratic press comes
rather a different story. The New
York World, for instance, after re-
viewing what it calls the blunders
and mistakes of the Democratic
party, declares the Republicans had
all the good luck and left all the
blunders to their opponents" and
adds, "If to know exactly what you
want and where you are going Is the
prime virtue in politics, then Cool

The parking situation is one Of the
most troublesome encountered" by
municipal officers. Many suggestions
have been offered as to its solution, but
no satisfactory remedy has been found
AS municipalities grow and autos be-
come more plentiful the problem natu-
rally becomes more acute. 1t is. how
ever. fundamental principle that the
primary use and purpose OF highway
Is for moving traffic. and not for garage
purposes. 1t Is impossible to have con-
stantly moving traffic. so some arrange
ments must be made for vehicles when
"at ease"
The growth of cities in such a way
that business is concentrated in Ger
tain sectionS causes what Is known as
"congested districtA" and i'm these dis
tricts congs sstion results from the park
ing Of automobiles by those who have
business therein or labor there. In the
congested districts Of Washington. en-
that from nine to ten thousand autos
are parked during the busy hours. This
is about 10 per cent of the entire num-
ber Of cars in the District. and in the
elimination Of trucks and other CONNER
cial vehicles the percentage would be
greater. 1t will therefore be seen why
1t is necessary for the municipality to
limit parking to a certain definite time
80 that all might have equal privileges
to transact business. In the congested
districts the limit is one hour, which
Wo, ID seem to be long enough for all
strictly business purposes.
Monopoly Not Fair.
1t is not fair or just that any person
or persons should monUpoize public
space which belongs to the whole pco-
pie 1t is a species of favoritism which
is contrary to our system OF Govern
ment, where all are to have equal rights
In block which has several office
buildings housing hundreds OF auto
owners, IL is manifestly improper
that one-third of these can use the
space for parking TO the detriment
and discomfort OF the other two
thirds. Then. again, the owners of
business houses have a valid objection
In their protest that customers in autos
cannot stop at their stores because
OF the parking congestion.
The time may come when there will
be no parking allowed in the con-
gested districts. AS the city grows
and autos increase II will be i'm
possible to find parking space even
for the limits Of time allowed The
quest for parking space would be so
great as to create disorder and con-
fusion and lead to terrific traffic Jams
In the absence of collaps!ble autos
the problem is n mighty one and con-
ducive to serious thought.

The l. w. w. and Politics

1T Will never be necessary for the T. w w. to
mdorse any political party Neither will the
|. W. W. carry on propaganda against political
action. To do so would be as useless as to carry
on campaign for it," So says the current issue
OF Industrial Solidarity official paper of the wob
blies.
But strangely enough, these words occur near
the end of long three-column article. which is
turnout polemic against politics. A very weak,
stupid polemic, 1t is true. 1t might have been,
and probably was written ten years ago. 1t shows,
however, the utter confusion in the minds of those
who speak for that organization.
These mudde-heads who would warn the work
ing class against all politics are really playing
the game OF the middle class and capitalist poll
ticians the game of the bourgeoisie which is al
ways anxious that the workers shall avoid politics
An appearance of ultrarevolutionism is created
by denouncing the traitor politicians of the
Socialist movement But for every political trail
tor of the working class, we can find at least one
traitor in the labor unions. The working class
must fight against treachery everywhere, even in
the 1. w. w., and the moment that fact is recog-
nlzed the old argument against politics falls to
the ground
Against the conquest of power thru the over
throw OF the capitalist state and the establishment
OF the workers government of soviets (which can
OO oCSOHuPl1Shcu OHly uuUer Ine leadership OF a
Communist party, the I. W. w. theoreticians offer
no means whatever by which the working class
can break the bonds of capitalism
Instead Of such means, it contents itself with
Christ-like faith that somewhere, some time,
something will happen to change things In the
meantime with truly Christian martyrdom, it will
turn the other cheek to capitalist persecution
persecution" says the article in SOBidGritu "al
ways results in the growth of the principle repre-
scented by that organization-if it's members are
men and women of courage. If they are not, there
is no substitute that will insure victory"
All OF which may be good religion but it is
very poor thinking In fact to call it stupid is
charitable for it is worse than that 1t is the abd
cation of intelligence. The long warfare carried
on in the l. w. w. against '1eaders," under the
slogan, "The |. w. W. has no leaders; every mem
Der is a leader" seems to have been successful
At least there are no signs of leadership in that
organization now.

Pardons from Ebert

President Ebert of the Imperial German Repub-
lie has granted pardons to those Germans impris-
oned for aiding the French occupation of the Ruhr.
They were guilty of treason" But it was the
kind of treason that is easily and quickly par
doned not alone by Ebert but by capitalists of
all nations because it was treason in the interests
of the real rulers of the world the biggest capital
lists.
Thousands of workers are in prison turnout Ger
many convicted of treason" of various sorts, but
none of them the sort that assisted in the armed
occupation by capitalist troops. They were the
fighters for working class rule for the overthrow
of the rule of German capitalism for the breaking
of the intolerabe bonds of the Versailles Treaty.
They were unreasonable" to the pact that made
Germany a nation of slaves. They fought for a
free and proletarian Germany. Their treason
was to capitalism.
Ebert has not pardoned these latter prisoners.
And he will not do so. The reason for this is that
Ebert and the Social Democratic party are the
lckspittles of capitalism German and Entente,
and the one unforgivable crime in their eyes is to
fight against capitalism. The working class pris-
oners in German will only be released by the Ger
man revolution.

They Have the Votes

A group of socalled labor leaders, bureaucrats
in control Of office in the railroad unions, boosted
in public that they shave the necessary votes to
prevent the successful launching of an independent
movement for workingclass political action. They
wanted McAdoo on the democratic ticket, and
claimed that they have the labor movement hog
tied and ready TO deliver to the highest bidder.
They have the votes, so they claim, to do with as
~.sy please. But how have they got the votes?
They have the votes in the Cleveland Conference
for Progressive Action, where rank and file dele
gates are excluded where union officials hold great
blocks Of votes that overwhelm any stray delegates
that might come in with a real workingclass pro-
gram. They control the votes in the Conference
where they made the rules and gave themselves the
votes.
1t is interesting to note that LaFollette did his
best to throw all the power Of his own followers
TO the Cleveland Conference where the men who
"contro the votes" offer to sell them to McAdoo
and the Democrats. Who said LaFollette is a
spractical politician? 1t is the men who control
the votes and put them up for sale, that are prac
teal in the sense of getting the cash.

ton to the millionaire's club in Wash

statement.
While the masses fought over the

both and won out whichever party
lost in the elections.
Wall Street knows that it wants

Wall Street not alone rules this
country, but it is spreading out all
over the world. When it holds up its
hand even a great power like France
changes its plans. On Soviet recog-
milton for instance.
Wall Street sent a commission to
Europe to shackle the limbs of Ger
many and compel the workers of that
country to speed up and pay the rep
arations which the winning capitalist
nations insist on getting from the
conquered. Wall Street would lend
the money to start the work, but it
must have guarantees.
