STATESMEN, AND POLITICIANS

The manuscript of speech of Lincoln, made directly
after the close of the Lincoln Douglas Debates has just been
published.
It's interesting feature is the last sentence.
Lincoln explained that he not insensble to political
honor but added that if the principle for which he had
fought in the campaign could be established 81 would in
consideration gladly agree that Judge Douglas should
be out, and office long both either
live"
That is the spirit which makes the statesman great and
the politician small.
Lincoln subordnated his personal interest the

vancing himself .'..
Yet Lincoln succeeded in the things the politician wants.

Times Square district employ men
who have no duties other than to
serve telephone users. They see that
those waiting to use the phones keep
their proper places in line and that
they enter vacated booths with dis

patrons who need nickels. Some
stores have as many as dozen or
more phone booths for each of which
they receive commission rentals from
the telephone company.

is limit!
But let US be thankful it takes
hundred years to reach it.
CAN'T GET
TOGETHER
1rreconcilable differences of opin.
ion threaten in the plans for reor-
ganizing the third party"
In the nature of things, they
could not have been avoided. Old
parties may hold together on a name
and tradition, but a new party has
no conference but common view or
purposes
Moreover, radical party is bound
to attract the climatic fringe of
temperamental panaceists.
The personality Of Senator La Fol-
lette held the discordant elements
together for one campaign, land
great personality or great issue
may unite them again. But logically
and instinctively men divide into less
or more than three parties.
With two parties, internal differ
ences may be adjusted in each. With
three, the groups tend to still further
subdivision.
1t is either the two-party system
or the multi-party system. Perma-
nently, there is no such thing as
party system.
TO REMEDY
TWO EVILS
The Republicans, in the last cam
paign, spent roughly four and
quarter millions, the Democrats not
quite million, and the La Toilette
party quarter of a million, The
effective results were about in the
same. proportions.
This is, of course, not to say that
money did it all. 1t works both
ways.
Money helps to win votes, but the
situation that attracts votes Also
makes it easy to collect money.
Practically all the money in mod
ern party funds is used lcgitimately.
1t is good thing for the people to
have it available.
The danger is that a party with
disproportionate funds may over
wheim the other. and that, those who
contribute it will expect favors.
How would this do, to remedy both
evils! Require each perso., who
votes in party primary to contrib
ute. then and there, so cents to the
party campaign fund.
If he does not vote in a party pri-
mary. let the tax collector collect
two dollars from him, and distribute
1t, less costs of collection, proper
tlonally among the parties, to use
for his better education next time.

construction totals evidence that the normal standard
building activity which before the about billion
dollars annually, has been raised permanently.
Continued population drift from farms to cities is
