ONCE OVERS

Not a very dignified position
for one who wishes to be
thought something in the COM
munity.
Of course, you have a rather
scrappy disposition, but you
could curb it.
You like a good fight and
so do some others.
But a good fight is not a
perfectly irresponsible antago-
nism.
You need Self-control.
If you know certain things
are wrong and have some con-
structive ideas as to how to
remedy them, get yourself to-
gether and get a hearing some
way.
Most folk are willing to
listen to constructive ideas
without malice.

you can't seem to find your
place.
You've made a dozen starts.
Once you thought you'd be a
writer; subscribed to journal
iStic course. Remember? Then
somebody said you had an un-
usual voice, and Immediately
you decided to go into opera.
But you got disgusted with that
in a month. Those tiresome
lessons! Maybe, if you could
have afforded a really fine
teacher-gone to Italy, per-
haps? But what was the use of
plugging along with a third
rater?
Nothing Was Right
Then what came next? Tried
to get into a radio hour, didn't
you? Went into a Little The
ater movement. Joined a de-
signing class.
But nothing was just right.
Somehow. you couldn't seem to
"find yourself" And so you
waited-and went on dreaming.
Dreaming Of being what?
You didn't exactly know. But
something splendid. Always, in
your dream. you saw yourself
like that. Saw yourself splendid
and triumphant. Moving vic

rounded by beauty. With peo-
pie thronging around you. En-
vying and admiring you. Ap-
plauding you.
Always you see yourself like
that. Splendid and victorious
and-different. Doing wonder
full things. Always happy and
excited. Never failing. Never
being bored as you are now.
Always in the spotlight. Never
being ignored.
So you dream. All your life
that dream has been in you
like a fever, making you rest
less and diScontented, making
you hate a common chores
and common people.
And now, today? Today
you're just where you started.
The years have passed, and
they have given you nothing.
You've made no real friends,

LISTEN, WORLD!
By Elsie Robinson

had no real fun, established
no roots. What was the use?
You didn't intend to spend
your life with such people, do
ing such work. Some day
soon you were going to leave
it all, find different, work,
different people. So why
waste time or enthusiasm on
common people and common
jobs-or shabby compromises?
Shabby Compromise
Even the love you might
have had was a shabby COM
promise. The love you wanted
wasn't going to be like that
"a dreary, drudging thing.
Love, for you, was going to
mean enchantment; romance,
that never dimmed. So you've
rejected love, too, and gone
back to your flaming dream.
And what has it all brought
you? Nothing.
And you can't understand?
How can one dream so gorge
ously, yet live so drably? Why
can't you express yourself?
Why can't you put your mark
on life?
BECAUSE YOU'VE NEVER
REALLY LIVED. YOU'VE
ONLY DREAMED OF LIVING.
YOU CAN'T EXPRESS
YOURSELF. BECAUSE YOU
HAVE NO SELF TO EXPRESS.
YOU HAVE NEVER GRE
ATED A SELF. YOU HAVE
ONLY CREATED A DREAM,
AND A DREAM HAS NO
POWER.
Remember that sign you've
often seen when a Hollywood
star came to town?
tom MIX-IN PERSON
NOT A MOVIE!"
There, in the sign is the
secret of your defeat. You've
never lived-in person. You've
always been "a movie"
Courage Was Lacking
Never have you had the
courage to be yourself. Never
have you had the wisdom to
study what you, yourself, really
are: what you, yourself. are
really fitted to do. Instead,
you've tried to live a splendid
make-believe, which had no conE
nection with your actual per-
'sonality or capacity. And,
naturally, you've flopped.
Stop it! Stop trying to be
a 12-reel fairy tale. Stand still,
sober up, and face yourself.
Study what you really are;
what you really are fitted to
do. Then do it, even If it's
only digging bitches or wash
ing dishes.
ONLY THE THING WHICH
IS REALLY YOU HAS ANY
POWER TO EXPRESS IT
SELF. ONLY THE JOB WHICH
IS REALLY YOURS WILL
LEAVE IT'S MARK ON THE
WORLD.
THE REST IS EYEWASH!

Constructive Ideas
You are given to making

r OOKING back on the
IL campaign just ended,
certain obvious faults in
men and procedure stand
out.
With the Saturday night
before the election meetings
I am persuaded that all ef-
fective speaking ended. The
votes changed between Sat
urday and the election on
Tuesday were those that
were bought or coerced.
Here and there, there may
have been an exception.
On Monday night Mr..
Coolidge and Mr.. Hoover
made final talks, along with
Mf. Roosevelt. All these ac-
complished was to strengthen
the spirit of their supporters.
In common justice, Mr.. Cool
idge should have been more
active on the stump, for the
disasters of the Hoover Ad-
ministration were made in
evitable by the policies of
the Coolidge regime, and he
had much to explain and
defend.
Looking back on the cam
paign, one of the most sig
nificant ases of Mr..
Hoover's expressions has
been his evident inability to
dissimulate his notorious
disregard for the average
man. This was evident in
articles he wrote long be-
fore he dreamed of a polit-
ical career in America. One
illustration will suffice
that last minute slur on the
penniless, ragged, homeless
veterans of the bonus army.

The Bonus Marchers
Were Not q Mob


1t would have been so
easy to have expressed and
manifested sympathy for
the plight Of these veterans,
for whom nothing would
be too good when they came
home" and to have ex-
planned why, under exist
ing conditions in the Treas
ury the bonus could not be
paid at once. Instead, Mr..
Hoover preferred to look
upon these men as vicious
people, criminals, buns,
communists, etc.
In one Of his last speeches
Mr.. Hoover said with great
bitterness, and yet with evi-
dent satisfaction:
Thank God we still have
q government in Washing
ton that knows how to deal
with a mob.
OF course the bonus
marchers were not a mob.
They were merely veterans,
denied their right to work,
who were penniless, jobless,
hungry, ragged. They had
fought for their country
while many of Mr.. Hoover's
sponsors were profiteering
on their country's necessi-
ties. They maintained
order; when the Senate
voted the bonus bill down,
they took off their hats, sang
"America," and quitely re-
turned to their camps.
General Glassford, then
head of the police in Wash
ington, had had no trouble
with them; and he was
brushed aside. And the Ad-
ministration that had taken
the stand that gas and tanks
were too inhuman for the
battlefields, called in the
gas squad and the tanks
and the bayoEets and
torches to be used against
unarmed and penniless SOL
diers.
And the head Of the ma
tion says:
THANK God we still have
a government in Washing:
ton that knows how to deal
with a mob"

day to tomorrow.

pie as. a mob; it pays less
today than ever before in
history. ,... s-.'
Blackjack the
Employees
In keeping with this con-
temptuous attitude toward
the masses of the people was
the attempt of certain
great industrialists to use
the blackjack on their en-
ployes and drive them under
the blows Of intimidation
into voting for Mr.. Hoover.
The assumption o. the right
to dictate how employees
shall vote on pain of dis
aster to them if they do not
bow can be based only on
the theory that these men
are cattle; that the wages
paid is a purchase of their
citizenship, their manhood,
their self-respect.
More serious from the
viewpoint Of American in
stitutions, the acceptance Of
that theory would definitely
end all pretense in America
of free democratic institu-
tions, Such a theory is the
full flower Of plutocracy.
This plan was worked ef"
fectively many years ago,
but in the meanwhile the
resentment Of decent Ameri-
can citizens has led to the
enactment of laws intended
to prohibit that sort Of
thing. Notwithstanding, it
has been resorted to this
year with a brazen indif-
ference to the law that can
not be ignored after the
election. The plutocracy
has found ways to get
around the letter of the law.
We are positive that a coal
operator in Indiana and at
least one industrialist in
Syracuse did not get around
it at ALL. and that these are
open to indictment and
prosecution,

three or four "re-takes" before
they can get anything satisfac-
tory; and lots never have any
success at all.
So uncanny are a woman's
intuitions that her husband
can't even announce that he
is going on a reducing diet
without being suddenly aware
that she is wondering if his
new stenographer is zone of
those blondes"
"Nudism" will never be much
of a hit with attractive women.
They remember that Adam
never took any romantic inter-
est in Eve until she gave up
Self-expression and dolled her
self up in a few clothes.

Would Not Be
Patriotic

The victory Of Roosevelt
has long been assured; and
the trouble is that the Demo
Gratis are apt to be satisfied
with this victory and to pay
no more attention to these
Infamous attempts to black
jack American voters. That
would be gracious-but it
would not be patriotic.
It would not be patriotic
since the continuation of
that sort of thing, the coun-
tenancing of it, will mean
the downfall of the institu-
tions Of this country. It
is not a matter of politics.
1t is a matter Of the highest
patriotism. ..
So, any man who has
clearly violated the letter Of
the law now on the books
should be indicted, prose-
cuted, and imprisoned.
Only by making it clear
that law is law and not a
gesture can this sort > of
treason in our institutions be
stopped.
But some of those who
have openly resorted to in
timidation have found a way
to get around the letter Of
the law. This means that
Congress must so strengthen
and broaden the existing law
as to reach these cases in the
future.

"Treat Them
Rough"

Rough" ..''
Long ago a great Floren-
tine cynic wrote a book
called "The Prince" con-
tanning advice on the use of
perfidy and treachery on the
people and on other rulers.
We may not have a book
called "The Plutocrat,'' set
ting forth advice of similar
character, but some indus
trialists have acted upon
theories that would 60 into
such a book. The substance
of them is to treat the masses
as cattle and to treat them
rough.
Intelligent business and
financial leaders know that
this is the road to ultimate
revolution and social up
heaval.

UTILITY DENIED
RIGHT TO QUIT

CenSured in Ruling.

Public utilities must take the lean
years with the fat ones and can not
halt a public service because they
are losing money.
This is the ruling made by public
service commissioners in the Jason
vile Water Company case. Com
pany officials wrote Chairman John
w. McCardle of the commission
saying they were going to cease op-
Grafton on Sept. Is because the city
had not paid its hydrant rentals and
has no funds to make payment.
Notice that they were going tC
quit had been served on the mayor
and common council at Jasonville

McCardle turned the matter over
to Commissioner Harry K. Cuth-
bertson, who wrote the order deny
ing permission to quit. The order
was concurred in by all commission
erS.
Cuthbertson also was the author
of an order, approved by the COM
missioners at their Friday confer
ence, which requires the public
service company of Indiana to set
up it's full authorized depreciation in
its annual reports on file with the
commission.
