WAS LINCOLN WRoNG7

A glance over the political history
of the last ten years gives rise to
wonder if, after all, Abraham Lincoln
was entirely right when he said: "You
can fool some of the people all of
the time and all of the people some
of the time, but you cannot fool all
of the people all of the time"
Hendrix Willem Van Loon says
Lincoln was wrong and intimates he
was merely flattering the voters. Van
Loon believes in Lincoln's greatness
and immortality, but he thinks "Abe"
knew better.
Van Loon believes it should have
been worded: "You can fool some of
the people some of the time and

JAZZ BAND
Leader Violates Illinois
Child Labor Law

Chicago tILNS)-Ted Lewis, inter-
nationally known jazz band leader
successfully got away with wholesale
violations Of the Illinois child labor
law during an extended "in person
engagement on the boards of the
numerous Chicago motion picture
palaces owned by the gigantic Bala-
ban & Katz theatre corporation.
In addition to his orchestra, Lewis
carried with him several vaudeville
performers, among whom was a FIVE
year-old colored boy who was strong
ly featured in dancing and singing
act requiring the expenditure of a
great deal of physical exertion in
continuous performances starting
early in the afternoon and ending late
at night.
Ted Lewis teamed up with the little
fellow in dialogue and dancing. AT
one point in the performance Lewis
adorned himself with a fierce looking
black false mustache and, very ap-
propriately, declared himself to be
Simon Legree.
Balaban and Katz, Ted Lewis and
the parents of the child could have
been dealt with severely under the
Illinois child labor law, but the act
is a dead letter under the present
state administration.
Orders were issued to put the soft
pedal on the enforcement of all OF
the Illinois labor laws shortly after
Gov. Louis L. Emmerson took the
oath of office three years ago.

A TALE OF TWO SUBSCRIPTIONS

A TALE OF TWO SUBSCRIPTIONS
New York is trying to raise by
subscriptions a fund to care for the
unemployed this winter. Though do
ing better than most cities in this
regard, she is having difficult time.
But when the Metropolitan Opea sea-
son opened there recently, it was
found that more than $2,000,000 had
been subscribed in advance for seats.
There is no depression at the opera.
There is no depression at the expen-
sive hotels. There is no depression at
the "swank" clubs, where rich men
cultivate the gentle art of doing
nothing. But three-quarters of a
million workers in New York are job
less; and probably fourth of the
population of the city will need help
to keep from starving or freezing
this winter. And New York, richest
city in the world, is having all kinds
of trouble raising the funds needed
to care for the unfortunate.
Think it over.

NIGHT WORK IN THE SOUTH

Apparently the plan of the South
ern cotton mill owners to control pro-
duction by eliminating night work has
failed, as Southern trade unionists
report that mills are resuming night
operation. This will inevitably mean
a glut of goods and price and wage
cutting.
Resumption of nighttime operation
would seem to make it completely i'm
possible for the manufacturers to
argue against unionism or social leg
islation as a means of regulation in
view of the utter collapse of their
privately-organized scheme of sta
bilization almost before it had been
we'll launched.

about many things. Sometimes pro-
foundly. sometimes Aippantly,
sometimes recklessly. ..
Well, it's New Years time,

In better years the season coniured
up pictures of happy families. fairly
large, gathered around hearthsides
plentifully fuelled.
Something about the faces indicat-
ed reserves of food and of strength,
physical and moral. Something of
stability and assurance, and of per-
sonal dignity.
This year the picture is of barren
homes by the million, of cold hearths,
of gaunt men and women and of lit
tie children in poor clothes.
Something seems to have happened
to America.
Plenty has happened.
The picture of older days is a pic
ture that grew in our minds out of
an early agricultural America, when
there were people who knew how to
wiring their sustenance from the soil.
The change has been a change of
tools, and the change of tools has
changed everything else.
Industry is automatic, largely, and
semi-automatic, and it is driven by
power.
Machinery has made farming today
something that would look like a
miracle to the farmer Of so years ago.
And we haven't found the way to
make this wonderfully productive ma
chinery that saves so much work de-
liver its fruits to the masses.
That's about it-and that is plenty.
When we can find ways to end the
robbery of the industrial and finan-
cial barons we shall have a society
as vastly better than the landwork
ing order of half century and a
century ago as that was better than
the feudalism of the middle ages.
We are on road to some place and
we have hit a bump. But the place
to which the road leads is just as
good as ever it was.
The old oaken bucket and the old
wooden pump that froze tight every
night had their beauties, but the mod
ern water works has more of beauty
and more of utility.
There is no going backward.
The thing to do is to PLAN for
ward and not merely to be pushed
forward.
This New Year must be year OF
much planned movement, if society
is to make good its gains.

FLORIDA'S TEAM

SAVERS AGGREGATION
GETS REAL TRoUNcING AT
HANDS OF vIcroRs BY
SCORE READING % TO 3
Rah-rah-tah; Florida!


In the first of the five-game
series, Florida energies with an
overwhelming victory by licking
the living tar out Of the All-Stars
to the inharmonious tune of % to
3.
Bethel essayed to pitch for the
All-Stars and right in the first in
ming he was touched up for five
runs aided and allotted by his
teammates. He was not steady
and the frequent errors of the
bunch behind him did not help mat
tiers. Later he was relieved by
Lowe, who never pitched worse
game in any of his appearances on
the slab. In the last three innings
he was hammered all over the lot
and to all points of the compass
for a total of IL runs. A con-
glomeration of Is eros were
amassed by the All-Stars and that's
enough to discourage any pitcher.
Munson Johnson started the
game for the Florida and was in
splendid shape, and he is credited
as the winning pitcher. After al
lowing two runs to cross the plate
in the first inning, he had the game
well in hand and blanked his OPP
ponents until he retired from the
game to give way TO A. Lunn, the
lanky ace. This change was not
made beause Johnson weakened
but is a part of the strategy en-
ployed by the Florida. Incidental
ly, it may be mentioned this is a
skilled movement, which has been
fayorably alluded to in this column
several times.
The All-Stars were all diked up
in new sweaters and caps and
once more the old jinx got in his
work, for it is not recorded in his
tory that ball team has ever won
a game when wearing new suits
the first time. There is nothing
in this superstition, of course, but
it always happens that way. And
has one ever seen a team win a
game just after it was photograph
ed? Some one might slip this in
formation to Manager Sawyer and
by some pretext or another induce
the Florida to pose for their pic
ture before the next game. The
old hoodoo might win for the All
Stars.
