The Four Mortons.

THE appearance of the original
Four Mortons-Sam. Kitty. Clara
and Paul--at the Earle Theater this
week brings to the memory of an old
timer the fact that the Morton family.
the real family name incidentally be-
ing Kennedy, is one of the oldest and
most respected in American theatrical
annals.
The Four Mortons recently cele-
brated the completion Of 30 years of
service looking to the Improvement
and development Of the vaudeville
type of entertainment.
When they began they we're cotem-
poraries OF two other famous vaude-
Vile families which no longer exist.

power plants alone produced 10000, 900 thousand

1907, but nearly {, 100000 in 1924. With insur-

POLITICAL THINKING

1t would be interesting to attempt to classify
people as to how they get the ideas to how they
shall vote. Why is it that some vote Republican,
and some Democratic, and some vote for split
tickets without regard for party?
Some vote for one party because their fami-.
lies have always done SO. Not much intelligence
in that method, Some vote for certain party
find that certain idea is popular in their crowd,
and therefore conclude it must be correct.
Some vote in certain way because friends
give them certain reason for doing so, or some
thing they saw in some newspaper or heard from
some speaker influenced them. Someone told
them of some terrible things that would happen
if this or that candidate or party was or not
successful, and they believed it, and voted accord
ingly.
And there are some, and fortunately, it is
pretty large number, who all the time reading
political news in the newspapers, and who form
opinions of their own If they see the statement
of some candidate or editor, they do not neces-
sarily swallow it down, but they ask the question
out of their experience whether that thing is So
The opinions of the country are shaped large
ly by this latter class People listen to their ideas
and are swayed by them Of course people have
their underlying tendencies prejudices, and
fears which are influential. They listen more
readily to people of their own type than they do to
those in different circles. And yet when people
read and think about politics, they feel sure
that they exert much influence, and they are the
principal creators of public opinion. 1t is gen
erous reward for the rather small amount of time
that it takes to keep posted public affairs.

TIE MIGRATING TENDENCY

Vice President Dawes, in addressing a few
days ago the 50th anniversary celebration for Colo

they were brought up and go elsewhere and the

THE FIRST woMAN's CLUB

vonetof the most powerful forces in the coun
try today is found in the womens clubs, which
are organized in thousands Of communities. The
majority of them are the development of the past
federation, and before that time the women had
~cotnmonly the feeling that they would better stay
at shome and attend to household duties, rather
than spend them time writing papers and listening
to addresses.
The originator Of this very remarkable move
ment, which has had much to do with altering the
poStion Of women in the community, is said t
have been Miss Faunt lie Roy, granddaughter OF
Robert owen. well known philanthropst. She re
turned from six years Of study and travel in Eu
rone, to tho little town Of New Harmony, Indians
and felt a desire for interesting society
So the first Of these associations, called tho
Minerva club, was formed OF years ago. in that
town, and named after the Roman goddess of wis
dom, and the club dedicated itself to literature.
music, and the social graecs. Such clubs have
deNe wonders for innnmerahle snian towns, and
have made them centers Of agreeable society.
AS years have gone on. these clubs have not
hsen satisfied just with cultural study and social
graees, but have taken an active part in COM
mhnlty affairs To-day they are force for pro
mbting civic movements The politicians are fear
full Of taking positions that the womens clubs gen
orally oppose,

May Day Greetings from European Labor

erica which holds firmly in its hands
the banner Of revolutionary class
struggle-the banner which repre-
sents unity and the welding together
Of the American proletariat In the in
terests OF this struggle, in the inter
ests of the liberation of the workers
Of the entire world from the yoke Of
capitalism.
It was the consciousness Of the Am
erican proletariat which created the
idea Of the international holiday, of
solidarity of all toilers, the holiday
Of the first Of May.
Only the pages of The DAILY
WORKER have correctly interpreted
the significance of this holiday-the
demonstration of proletarian forces;
only The DAILY WORKER has ap-
pealed on this day for the closing of
ranks for the struggle against the
bourgeoisie, for the destruction Of
capitalism; only The DAILY WORK
Erin your country in the English
language-has appealed to the work
ing class to sound the approaching in
evitable destruction of capitalism at
the hands of the uprising proletariat.
In greeting The DAILY WORKER
and it's appeals for unity for consoh-
dalton, for revolutionary struggle, we
are appealing at the same time to the
proletarians-the building trades
workers. and workers of other crafts
in America, to strengthen the posi-
lions which are propagated by The
DAILY WORKER, thru one decisive
action.

We are firmly convinced that the
time is not far distant when the First
Of May will be celebrated also in your
country by the victorious working
class of America.

TO THE DAILY WORKER:

TT was just forty-two years that May
= Day was first observed in Ameri-
ca. May Day has now a new mean
ing to the worlds proletariat. The
Russian revolution of November. 1917,
has changed the meaning of the day.
For millions and tens of millions of
workers and peasants Mays Day has
become great and most joyful festi-
val day. May Day to the Russian
workers and peasants is a holiday I'm
der the dictatorship Of the proletariat.
May Day in other countries has
come to have new and revolutionary
meaning. 1t has become a hope and
determination to fight for the eman-
cipation of the proletariat, because
here in Russia May Day is a real cele-
bration day of the victorious revolu-
ton; and all the workers and peas
ants of the world join the Russians in
the May Day Celebration which will
give them great impetus to fight for
the proletarian revolution.
The DAILY WORKER has an i'm
portant task to tell the workers Of
America of the new meaning of May
Day in Soviet Russia, and to join the
Russian workers and peasants to ceIe-
brate it and to form the great united
front of the world proletariat against
the exploiters and the robber capital
