things with their own hands.
Slave like that? Not him!
Plainly he thought that peo-
pie who did slave like that
were Hicks. He defended the
machines. A fellow couldn't
live decent without street cars,
automobiles, elevators, tele-
phones, movies, electric pianos,
nickel-in-the-slot devices. The
machines weren't to bame for
hard times. The capitalists
were to blame.
Obviously, in his mind, any
one who had something he
didn't have, but wanted, was
a capitalist-and he hated
them. The hate showed in his
face. His furtive eyes smol'
dered. His smooth, homeless
hands rolled one cigarette after
another. the cigarette hung
Imply from his lax mouth as
he talked, and its spark glowed
DULY, like the hate in his
eyes.
The Lazy Product
You could see he didn't
amount to much. He was the
lazy product of the machines
which had conditioned his life.
There was no real vigor, pride
or independence in him. He ex-
pected to get things easy, with
out working. Only saps work
ed. If you were smart you got
things by pressing a button.
OR, MAYBE, PULLING A TR1G-
GER.
I looked at the honest, gnarl-
ed old men who wanted a job
and the furtive, soft young man
who didn't want a job-the ma
chimes were responsible for
them both. The old men were
pitiful-but the young man was
both pitiful and dangerous. He
and his generation. Tens OF
thousands Of them like that.
The pernicious by-product OF
the machine age. If they can't
push the button how long be-
fore they pull the trigger.
Machines-they're wonderful.
They've helped us. But have
they helped us too much? HAVE
WE ROBBED MEN TO MAKE
MACHINES?

Those Democrats who imag-
ined that every possible effort
would not be made politically to
capitalize anything that Mr..
Hoover may do in the debt mat
ter must have been deliciously
naive.
The hard-pressed supporters
Of the Administration can not
be blamed. After a dismal pro-
ceSsion of failures over a rocky
read strewn with the debris of
wreckage they can not be criti-
cized for making the most Of
Mr.. Hoover's belated gesture.
When Senator FesS, the ma
tional chairman of the Presi-
dents campaign committee, in
jected the partisan note with
his characteristic bluntness, he
was mildly reprimanded by the
Hoover press, which knows that
it is much more suitable to call
the debt paying recess a Hoover
holiday"
But after that Mr.. West, the
publicity manager Of the Hoo
yer campaign, went on the air
to repeat the offense. This
came about the same moment
Senator Harrison, a Democrat,
was going the extreme limit IN
praiSinC the Presidents move.
Now, apropos of the West
harangue, Senator Fletcher
says:
'Tt is a shame to try to play
politics with everything that's
started to help the people along.

bitiOn Of partisanShip."
Even so, Senator Fletcher
should have been forewarned.

LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson.

Machines wonder about
them. I wonder if they're worth
the price we're paying for them.
I talked with three men out
of a job-two old men, one
young one. One of the old
men was a ranch hand. He
was telling about the good old
days when a man could walk
from one ranch to another pick
ing up a job wherever he
went. Everyone wanted labor
then. Trouble was, there
weren't enough men to go
around.
"But the machines have
spoiled all that" he said. "Didya
read about that new machine
for pressing sugar cane? Does
the work 200 men used to do.
There's 200 men without
job today"
In a Tough Spot
The other old man agreed.
He'd worked making buggies,
as a young man. Time was
when handwork counted-when
everything you used was put
together by somebody's hands.
But the machines had spoiled
that, too. One man, sitting in
front Of a machine, made q
score of families go hungry.
And the work wasn't as good.
either. But then-that was
what people wanted nowadays.
Didn't care whether people
went hungry, or whether work
was Shoddy, s'long as they got
things quick and cheap.
There sat the two old men.
Their gnarled bodies. their cal
loused hands, were still strong
and eager to work. They were
honest and proud. They had
a sense of responsibility. But
what good did all that do? The
machines had taken their jobs
away. The machines had made
beggars Of them.
A Tragic Trio
The old men were tragic.
But somehow, the young man
seemed even more tragic. He
was about 25. He couldn't re-
member a world without ma
chineS-a world in which the
people had to make and do

The Gig0lO Business

Along comes who makes business of promoting
social activities and recommends that all hotels should carry
at least ggoo their pay rolls to keep women guests
tween some social life for guests and none.
Washington is renowned for many interesting things at
actve people from all parts of the world but her ggoo
population just about NIL and nobody seems to be crying
about the shortage.
GiQoos are handsome young who dance "divinely'
d say sweet things rich enough not to have to
work worry about their homes They to be found in
csbars in large cities These cabarets cater to rich ladies'

} impression of the cheap exhi-
bition:
"There is always some cheap
politician with little more in
telligence than the average ass
who wants to make capital out
of something that should be de-
void of politics"
And yet it must be a trust
ing soul who will expect any
thing else in this instance. The
game is on now, and it is in
teresting to watch the plays.
Moratorium Called
An Absolute Necessity
The proposal of the President
was not made until after it
was found that Germany has
reached the end of her re.
sources, and that persistent
pressure upon her now might
result disastrously. not only to
Germany. but to the rest of
the world.
It is like the case of a man
holding a mortgage on an
apartment house on which reg.
ular payments are due, who
finds that the debtor cannot
possibly make the payments.
The creditor cannot get the
money, and he does not want
an apartment house on his
hands through foreclosure.
He, thereupon. with a gesture
Of humanity. agrees to postpone
the payments for a year. We
are not anxious to assume the
responsibility of wrecking Ger
many.
Business Proposition
Forced on Us
It is a business proposition
forced upon us by the necessi.
ties of the situation. But we
shall soon hear that the Presi-
dent was moved by compassion
for the German people, and if
the Democratic leaders do not
expect this to be used as am
munition to bring down the
German vote next year they
have infinite faith.
It is a pity, however, that
there are men with little more
intelligence than the average
ass" who insist on showing
their hand now.
If politics is to be put in
and when Senator FeSS. ma
tional chairman, and Mr.. West,
publicity man for the commit
tee, give out the statements
they have, politics has been put
init is just too bad.
