THE APPEAL OF THE COUNTRY PRESS

Recently an old man of middle age ambled into
the office of the international and asked Can look
through some of your exchanges for few minutes
Sir?"
After receiving our assent, he shambled into
seat in corner and began to glance hastily the
piles Of papers issued by friends in the newspa
per profession. Finally he found what he was look
ing for and then sat back scanning each page in
tenty apparently in search OF something but he
knew not what.
We returned to our work for few moments
and forgot all about his presence But after about
half hour interrupted by his offer of pro-
found thanks before taking his leave.
"Did you find what you were looking for?" we
asked.
"Oh, wasn't looking for anything in particular.
just wanted to see copy of the paper from nv old
nome town. haven't been there in more than TWEEN
ty years. No, haven't any family ties there-just
old memories. But they won't leave I've been sort
OF Wanderer for many years now, but somehow
never can forget the pleasant associations of my
boyhood"
He then became taciturn took his leave, and left
us with few new impressions that seem to find
words now that he is gone Somehow it seems better
that he told us nothing more
we can now WOnder-Wonder why he became
Wanderer wonder at the cause of that WEAKNESS in
his eyes, speculate upon the tragedy or pathos of his
lfe life now lived in the cherished memories of his
old home town. How he loves it now that he has
left it, and possibly cannot return
And how much that old home town paper must
mean to him. It is now his only means of contact
with the happy days Of his youth, the only medium
through Which he can learn what has happened to
the friends of by-gone days
An excellent demonstration, this, of the personal
appeal of the country press

INDIFFERENT VOTERS

a great contest was scheduled for little city in
central Illinois Thousands of people assembled from
far and near to and hear the gladators. Special
:rainloads came from Peoria, Chicago, and other
larger cities They met in the open air, more than
$4,000 of them.
No, it was not football game Or a prize fight
1t was debate political issues confronting the
people of the United States Upholding one side of
argument was Stephen A. Douglas on the other was
Abraham Lincoln.
And the crowds listened for hours to profound
discussions of the principles of popular sovereignty
states rights and the spread of slavery They heed
ed every word, analyzed every argument. and went
home thinking and talking about their governmental
problems.
Such was the popular interest in politics in davs
gone by. That people will choose wisely when thev
are intensely interested is shown by the fact that thew
gave small popular majority to Abraham Lincoln
candidate for United States Senator though he did
not receive in the state legislature the number Of
votes necessary for election That public interest in
politics results in the elevation of big men to public
life is also shown by the fact that later the people
who heard and read these debates elevated one of the
contestants to the position Of President of the
United States.
These were the days when our democracy was
on trial These the times when the very found
alton OF our nationality was laid That it was we'll
built, no man can deny
But now one question comes to mind WoulT 81
have been so well built if the voters of those davs had
been so indifferent to national problems as are the
voters today? We doubt it.
II We would have better government TODAY we
must have more voters who think intensely and study
seriously the national problems crying for solution

II we aid in the formation of more community or
CARNATIONS"
This man believes that the great need of agri-
culture at the present time lies in the deve1onmont Of
powerful organizations, but he believes that these
big cooperatlves must be erected on the firm found
alton OF many small organizations These COM
1nunity clubs including All and other organizations
for boys and girls, really teaching the greatest
lesson that farmers need to learn. That is how to
work together in harmony

The one thing that changes little in this rapidly
changing world is human nature. Centuries ago
Shakespeare wrote his immortal dramas. We can
read them today with as much interest and elatlon
as Elizabethan playgoers experienced, because we
find in them flashes Of insight into human nature
We find in his masterpieces analyses OF human mo-
lives and impulses interesting because they III SO
closely with our observations of life.
The world moves, our lives are vastly different
from the lives of our forebears but human character
IN it's fundamentals remains much the same. And
you will find both good and bad in every community,
for town consists not Of streets and buildings but
of the human beings who live there.

Age Does Not Daunt Spirit Of Coxey
Who's All Set for Another March

written Specially for Interna-
tionaD
BY Robert Fuller
CThrough Autocaster News Serv-
ice)
New York, N. Y, April g.
General Jacob S. Coxey, of
"Coxey's Army" fame, spent sew
eral days in New York in the
course of a tour of the country
during which he studied unem-
ployment conditions, and an
rounced that soon he may lead
another army to the nations
capitol.
The march Of Coxey's Army to
the steps Of the capitol in 1894
has become history. His hair has
turned gray, he is wei on in years
and heads !, a prosperous stone
quarry business at Massillon, o.,
hut he still animated by the spirit
that sent this song ringing through
the air as his troops of unemploy-
ed approached Washington:
We're coming, Grover Cleveland; !;
five hundred thousand strong,
Wore marching on to Washing
ton to right the nations wrong,
By time and distance undismayed,
by hunger unabashed,
For we are Coxey's Army of the
great unwashed.
"The boys will join me on the
march," General Coxey told the
writer in an exc usive interview.
"They're anxious to come. Just as
we did in 1894-each mothers son
of them VIII start from his home

town, and get to Washington the
best way he can.
II will start from my own home
town, Massillon, and we'll all get
together and have a big demonstra-
ton at the Capitol-there will be
more of us than in 1894, because
conditions are worse.
"Of course"-and the Generals
tone became grave-'T want to
avoid the march if possible. If
my bill providing for the loaning
Of non-interest bearing bonds to
State Governments by the Federal
Government goes through, the
march will be unnecessary. The
march would be lot of troub, e.
but perhaps it will be needed to
make the people wake up to the
situation.
"The march may cause misun-
derstanding. When we marched
before, Browne, Jones and myself
were arrested for 'treading upon
the turf ard grass and injuring
shrubbery.' They cast us into
prison for 20 days and fined us
$500 each.
"But we are ready, in spite of
all risks, and as soon as we hear
that the bill is not going through,
'Coxey's Army viii be on the road
again. l am going to print great
number of pamphlets which the
boys can sell on the road to help
maintain themselves"
General Coxey has for many
years been sponsoring the aboli-
ton of interest as a means for

JUST HUMAN NATURE

whats the matter with Nogales?" we asked
chronic knocker the other day.
"Oh, it's the people here" he answered. "They're
petty, small minded, gosspers They won't work to-
gether and make anything of the town. AS soon as
possible I'm going to leave here and go to some town
where | can find better people,
But this man is doomed to disappointment when
he leaves Nogales. The faults he finds with our
town are merely the faults that any intelligent OBJ
server can see in human nature everywhere. Human
beings are much the same the world over Life is
as we see it.

procuring nationwide prosperity.
The only people in the country
who are now making money" he
says, "are the big 5 or the five Bs,
who are the bankers, brokers,
bondowners, bootleggers and burg
lars.
The five or six million Ameri-
cans now unemployed cannot be
employed unless the communities
that would employ them have
money. I have been trying to get
measure passed that will provide
that Congress coin money for the
people at no cost to them.
Between 1919 and 1922 1 was in
Washington seeking to obtain a
hearing for this measure, and had
conferences with the late Presi-
dent Harding and other.
81 think farmer, city dwell
er or anyone should be abe to OBJ
tin money at the same rate that
bank obtains it-from one haf
to one per cent would be the rate,
and it would be service charge
rather than interest.
Conditions are. such that in the
past six years two million farmers
lost their farms, and over $3.50 of
the farmers in Oklahoma have be-
come tenants although their land
was given to them only thirty-five
years ago.
~ have been in Iowa, Nebraska,
Oklahoma, Kansas ard Arkansas
in the last three months, and have
visited manufacturers between

.25% of the factories / saw were

consider unemployment due to the
restriction of bank credits.
"By my bill the government
would issue money on bonds to
be offered by states, to be used to
push forward or complete munich
pal construction, such as roads or
tuildings. This would give en-
ployment to practically all the un-
employed in the country. The
states would be required to recall
the bonds at the end of twenty
five years, but would not have to
pay interest on them"
Figures on the amount of un-
employment in the country vary.
Some estimate the number as high
as 100000, and a few place it as
high as does General Coxey, who
thinks there are 100000 un-
employed.
It is considered hazardous to
give any figures, experts have
stated, as there is no way of be-.
ing certain of the exact standing
of the situation. From the studies
of unemployment already made
by the United States Bureau Of
Labor Statistics, and the En-
ployment Service in the Depart
ment of Labor, it is indicated that
many of the current unofficial
estimates are gross exaggerations.
In one city there were believed to
be $4,000 unemployed, house to
house canvas was made and the
total number of unemployed was
found to be little over $4,000.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics
has found about the same 1stio
between belie1 and actual feet in
several cities where the situation
was closely examined. James J.
Davis, Secretary of Labor, be-
lieves the unemployment situation
exaggerated but nevertheless one
that is to be seriously and earn
estly considered.
Meanwhile we may again be
confronted with the spectacle of
"the great unwashed" parading
to the capitol, with a gray-haired
man in command.

ASK BUS ROUTE
ON MERIDIAN'ST.
Utility Asks Shift for But
Ter Line.

The Peoples Motor Coach Com
pany today petitioned the public
service commission for authority to
operate bus line to the new But
Ter University Fairview site using
Meridian st. in the route.
Buses heretofore have been
barred from Meridian st. and other
boulevards by the city park board.
Mayor Slack, however, recently
declared himself in favor of the use
of Meridian st. for the Butler Uni
versity line.
The outbound route petitioned:
From Monument Circle north on
Meridian st. to Thirty Sixth St.,
west to Kenwood Ave, north to
Thirty Ninth ST., west to Capitol
Ave, north to Forty-Sixth ST., west
to Sunset Ave, north to Forty Ninth
st.

south to Thirty-Ninth; east to Ken
wood; south to Thirty Sixth; east
to Meridian, and south to Circle.
The motor coach company, which
is owned by the Indianapolis Street
Railway Company, set forth that it
will start the line with eight buses,
operating on a seven and a half
minute schedule and making the
round trip in sixty minutes.

Fourteen years ago his daughter

Mayor L. Ert Slack today indi-
Gated he will notify the Citizens
Gas Company that the city plans
taking an option on the utility in
1890 when twenty-five year con-
tract expires.
Slack said the contract provided
that the city notify the gas COM
pany of its intentions to force the
option six months before the eXpira-
ton of the agreement.
The mayor said the city is con-
Sidering taking over the utility as
provided in the 1905 contract, but
had taken no steps in that direc-
ton when asked his opinion of the
Citizens Gas Company's employ
ment of counsel to advise them of
