LABOR MAY SOON RULE AGAIN
TN BRITAIN

Nov that interest in elections has sub
sided little, let's have look at Brtain's.
They were no less noteworthy than ours and
for similar reason. The stand-pat conservatism
of Britains example of the Strong, silent man"
Premier Badwin-who rode into office on a land
slide in 1924 like our President Coolidge-likewse
suffered an unmistakable rebuke More than 800
cities and boroughs in England and Wales Monday
elected their annual third of the councils And here's
what happened: The conservatives--the party of
Premier Baldwin-gained Is seats and lost 81; the
liberals-the party of Lloyd George and Asquith-
gained seats and lost Sc; and labor-the party of
Ramsay MacDonald-lost sparse II and gained
total of 16.
These elections, of course, in no way alter the
existing lineup of Parliament. But they do show
tremendous trend in the direction of labor.
Baldwin came into power on Nov /, 1924. So
great majority did the conservatives win in Parlia
ment-412 seats as against labors 152 and the lib
erals 42-that most people inclined to believe
the party safely in the saddle for at least
decade to come.
But his victory really not pronounced as
the above figures Indicate The total conservative
vote cast was approximately 100000 Labor polled
$3.50, 000-a high the labores-while the lib
erals cast some 100000 ballots. The conservative
victory developed into landslide largely because,
in the threecornered fight liberals and labortes
eaCn OJneT 8 LnTOdCS.
In 1924 Britain in a bad way industriay and
economically. There was much unemployment. Peo-
: pie looked upon Baldwin one Of those strong men
who say little but do things. He would set Britain
to rights.
He hasn't There are more unemployed in fjrit-
ain than when he entered Office or as many.
ndustrally if anything, she is worse off than ever
She has suffered general strike and coal tie up
is entering its seventh month with disastrous
consequences the country generally Britains vital
foreign trade is badly hit and hardly anybody is
happy
OF course Baldwin is blamed. People say he has
been too silent" and not strong enough. They &C
cuse him of letting nature take it's course too often
and too long.
Today there is telling what would happen
Baldwin to trust himself to general election
And is quite conceivable that unless things take
early turn for the better an election may be neces
sary. In which event labor might easily emerge
with clear parliamentary majority of it's own.
This weeks elections in England, as in America
prove it doesn't pay, after political landslide to
trust too much to the Strong SILENT stuff-to take
too much for granted
Even in easygoing English speaking democraces
like ours the people eventually expect on their be-
half an occasional display of the goods

WHY VOTERS ADVOCATE
BY n. ID. Cochran

On the of election the following bit of ortho-
dox bunk issued from the White House by the
Unable President Of the United States:
Let voters abdicate their sovereign right Of
sefgovernment the election Tuesday by failing
vote
Let's anayze that brief bit of political wisdom
The inference is that any citizen who failed to vote
hbdcated his sovereign right sefgovernment; and
if he did vote then he held that right and in
dulged in sefgovernment.
But did he?
How could honest, sincere citizen of the State
of IKnois for example. his sovereign right of
self government if he didn't believe in the Vostead law
and at the time didn't believe in political bosssm
and did believe in political morality?
Hugh Magil might have been satisfactory to him
on the issue of bossssm and political morality, but
Magl was dry supporter Of the Volstead act Frank
Smith, too, dry and, BESIDES a sincere could
stomach his particular notions of political morality
in taking money from public utility magnates while
head Of State board that regulated utility rates And
George Brennan, while wet enough for any one who
doesn't believe in the Volstead law, a political boss
and also accepted Sam Insults cash contribution.
That Illinois voter then, couldn't under the cir
cumstances exercise his sovereign right selfgovern
ment. He couldn't express himself at the polls He
couldn't vote without sacrifice Of self-respect AS
Magi both a dry and a believer in political
morality the only voter who could himself and
feel that he exercising his right of sefgovenment
was voter who believes in the Volstead law.
You may say must have government by the
twoparty system. Very we'll But what is a conscien-
tious dry going do in State where both parties
wet conscientious wet going to do in a State
where both parties dry? What is selfrespecting
going do State where neither party stands
for much of anything but getting jobs for machine
politicians?
No abdcates his sovereign right to self-gov-
eminent by failing to vote when he is given chance
to vote for what he wants. He has equal right
to vote to refrain from voting. Too often his only
choice is between what he believes are two evils.
About all he do when there enough like
him is punish the ms by voting them out and then
doing the thing at the next election. But he
seldom gets any satisfaction beyond voting the ms
He so q
at somebody. Often the only kick he gets of pol
tiles is by voting AGAINST somebody
There's sense in hammerng the non-voter He'll
vote when either party offers him something he wants
to vote for All that talk about his civic duty
is bunk His duty to himself is to vote or not to vote
as he darned pleases.

LOOKING OVER NEW
EVENTS AT THE PALACE

Two acts at the Palace on the bill
for the last half of this week stand
out as good variety entertainment.
Besser and Balfour. a man and
woman, offer some comedy of a high
diverting type and an act bined
The Romance" offers some nice
things in the way of songs.
The man of the Besser and Bal
four team makes his appearance
first and is a success from the start.
He starts the act by singing several
songs, the comedy method he uses
puts him across in great shape. Then
the feminine member of the act
comes In, looking and speaking very
much French. She is a perfect con
trast to the comedy of the man. The
two Of them without seeming to
work very hard have the house with
them all through the act.
In The Romance is offered a
small musical sketch concerning a
young playwright who is looking for
his ideal woman. This act relies
solely on the merits of the two leads
and mostly on the man. A contrast
between the flapper and the ideal
girl is brought out in comedy
Tanner, but the real charm of the
act is the singing Of the one man
and the woman, who plays opposite
him.
Marie Stoddard was all popped up
at the time of review and was hav-

Died Fighting

1t was thirty-nine years ago that
Capt. John Lee sailed out of Hall
fax never to be heard of afterward
until Herr Jansen fished a bottle
out of the Baltic at Bochum on the
Prussian coast the other day
The bottle contained a message,
brief and to the point, as Is usual
with those Of the dying.
Tell mother L died fighting" it
ran. Just that-no more-but you
get the picture all right.
You don't need to know the longi-
tude or latitude, the time of day or
the kind of disaster that overlook
him, to understand that John Lee
faced his fate like a man; that his
widowed mother had raised him to
that ideal, and that he wanted her to
know The had been true to it at the
last moment.

Speed and Power

Every device OF speed and power
IS dangerous, and the inventor OF
one always calls for the invention
of other devices to make it safe.
Life preservers go with the ocean
liner, block signals systems with
the express train and traffic cops
with the automobile. Ever since
Wilbur Wright proved that man
could fly, our geniuses have been
busy with nothing so persistently as
contrivances that will take death
and disaster out Of the game.
They have brought forth horizontal
propellors. horoscopes and nonburn-
able fusillages, but the old parachute
which used to thrill us at county
fairs still serves an excellent pur-
pose. At all events, it has saved

Louis-Chicago mail plane twice with

THE COMMUNITY FUND

Let it be hoped that there will be difficulty
in raising the money which the directors of the
Community Fund have said will be necessary for
it's work next year.
Those dollars which given in the name of
pity are the best dollars which will be spent IN
indianapolis in the next twelve months.
For they will reach out to places that are dark
with misery and tighten them. They will bring back
health to the faded cheeks of childhood and glad
ness into hearts that are filled with sadness
@-The readiness with which men and women re-
spond to this call is their measure OF their be-
lief in human brotherhood
Those who give grudgingly to these causes are
losing much of the happiness of life, for they are
shutting themselves away from those contacts which
come from genuine interest in other human beings
1t is unfortunate that there needs for charity.
The day may come when it will not be necessary
and science and intelligence will wipe away sick
ness, poverty and misfortune.
But in our change from rural people where
neighborliness was more than word to industrial
nation with its congestion in cities and with lack of
adjustments to the new methods Of life, there are
always those who will be in need of aid
In these complex days, it is not possible that
the wants of these can be met by personal friends
and acquantances.
The modern method of meeting these needs is
through organized effort, and in this city the Com
munity Fund appraises the needs and meets them
through the various agencies which it Supports.
That is the progress which has been made from
the barbaric days when no one cared and even fam
lily sentiment was weak.
The sick, the crippled, the unfortunate must be
helped and this fund is the avenue through
which those with kindly impulse may act.
The fund should be raised quickly if the kindly
hearts of the we'll and the prosperous be given
the proper suggestion.

THE LESSON OF SALMON

You can't have your salmon and waste it, too.
Several years ago the United States regarded as
almost inexhaustble the supplies of salmon our
coasts. Now Secretary Hoover comes forward with
word that the supplies along the Atlantic coast have
been exhausted Add to that the story of the Pacific
shores, where wasteful exploitation has reduced the
quantity available by so per cent.
Terrible toll has been taken of salmon they
come up the rivers and streams to spawn. Robbed
of chance reproduce its kind the salmon is pass
ing out of the picture.
This is of the little lessons in food that
America must remember.

Self Preservation

Men want TO go fast. to fly and to
fight, but not without a minimum
of risk. The instinct of self preser-
walton, when you come to think of
it, is what keeps science within rea-
sonable limits
But for this element of caution we
should become barbarians by virtue
of the very intelligence which lifted
US out of barbarism in the first place
If the world peace has any solid
foundation, it is in the universal de-
sire Of men to protect themselves
and their dependents from avoidable

Real HeroiSn1

Men can be braYe without throw
ing their lives away. Very often it
takes more courage to stay out of
trouble than get into it. Many a
child has learned ITO fight through
cowardice. being unable to stand the
scorn, ridicule and nagging of his
playmates. Many a man and many
a nation has succumbed to the same
type of pressure.
1t takes courage to stand against
the crowd, no matter in what cause.
Some of the most heroic figures in
history have been pacifists or con
scientious DIRECTORS. The heroism of
Christ lests mainly on nonresistance.
You don't have to build a ring or
provide a battle ground to prove
that man dare face danger
As matter of fact. many of the
most heroic deeds go on unrecorded,
and some are reviled until prejudice
has had time to cool off

Everyday life and everyday work
