Just As Opposite As Day and Night; ThatIs
 Mayor J. V Mckee, Former Mayor Walker
By NOEL THORNTON

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-Scintil- lating James J. Walker and the man who has taken his place as Mayor of New York City, digni- fled Joseph w. Mckee, have only two things in common. They art close personal friends, and bosf began their careers in Greenwich Village-Walker as a song writel and Mckee as a newsboy.
 Otherwise they are about as op. posite as the two poles, each at. taining popularity in the metropo- lis thoug Indirectly opposite meth ods and personalities.
 Where Walker is stlave. witty something of a hail-fellow-well- met, Mckee is quiet, pleasantly stately, industrious. Walker wal known for the disregard for ti1nei pieces, but his successor not only punctual, but one of the few in- stances when he loses his good hu- mor is when he is forced to waste time He is at his desk every morning at g, and rarely leaves until 6.
 Mckee Younger Than Walker
 Mckee is 43 years old years younger than his predecessor But if seen together one would scarce ly notice the difference in their ages
 Walker always has been sort of ambassador from Greenwich Villege and Broadway in New York politics. Mckee really belongs t. the Bronx and he is the first Mayor to come from that section north of the Harlem river.
 Although his flair for wise-crack ing is best known to the public Walkee is noted flor his abiliSS quickly to assimilate Knowledge of problems. After a few glances at an intricate political document he could arise and deliver a lengthy address that would show he had thorough understanding of the subject.
 Mckee has quiet humor of his own but he doesn't go in for the "gag" jokes of a vaudeville blackout variety. When he cam paigned for his post as President of the Board of Aldermen in which race he boiled 6.0O0 more votes than Walker, his speeches were distinguished for their informative quality. He wasn't the platform performer that Walker was, but the voters knew what he was talking about.
 He Knows Mayors Job
 Mckee is no novice in the May or's job. The frequent and long absences of Walker from his post have given him much experience in serving as temporary Mayor He isn't the ironclad Tammany servant that Walker is.
 Where Walker boasted in his last campaign that he would be a ''Tam1nany Mayor" Mckee has not hesitated in more than one instance to oppose policies of his Tammeny superiors which he did not approve.
 McKee's private life is as quietly unobtrusive as Walkers is effer- vescent.
 Walkers liking for travel Broad way night life activities the the tre, sports and gay companions is well known.
 Mckee never has been seen ot- ten around Broadway, and he seems to have no great enthusiasm for the spotlight ceremonies that the Mayors office demands.
 His sports activities are confined to gols, in which he usually shoots in the sos. He likes to spend evenings alone translating classi- cal literature, a habit held over from the days when he taught Greek, Latin and literature at Fordham University. He is mar ried and has two sons.

A PATRIOT-ARE YOU ONE?

Patriots bloom profusely in war;
time. Women knit as men fight, and
communities cheer as long lines of
khaki-clad boys march toward the
front. For our country's sake we
stretch every nerve to bring back
peace to our land.
Peace-time patriotism, although not
nearly so brilliant or noisy as its war
time sister, is every whit as glorious.
Without it peace cannot abide long
with us.
Of what stuff, then, is a patriot
made? STERN stuff that will not
fade or tear as does the red, white
and blue bunting with which we deck
our porticos on Independence Day.
The waving of flags, singing of songs,
and yelling of "Three cheers!" are
admirable symbols Of an inner love
of country that will not keep still
but they are symbols only. Not one
of these gestures makes a man a
patriot.
If merchant steps from Fourth
of July parade into dishonest busi-
ness deal that cheats his customer of
a nickel or a million, he is not a
patriot. If a foundryman donates
thousands to unemployment relief,

THE BAKERS STRIKE

For some time past the local union
bakers have been seeking to bring
about satisfactory agreement of
wage and working conditions with
the master bakers. This was accom-
plished with the exception of the
signing up of three baking plants
There being no other way out of it,
after exhausting every effort to
bring about agreement, the journey
men in the three plants referred to
went on strike. A general organizer
of the bakers international was
brought in to bring about, if possible,
an adjustment. After several weeks
negotiating, ne was successful in
signing up two of the plants.
All the baking plants involved
have signed with the exception of the
Purity Bakery, makers of Taystee
bread. The Purity Company officials
say they intend running under the
"open shop" plan-hiring and firing
whom they will, when they will, pay
ing what they will, running as many
hours as they will. The union bakers
charge them with having brought in
professional strikebreakers to carry
out their purpose and, if possible, to
lay the union on the shelf.
The union bakers have done all that
is possible to bring about amicable
settlement. They have agreed to take
substantial cut in their wage, yet
the Purity Company would ask more.
The union bakers are making a fight
to preserve a hard-won American liv-
ing standard in the baking industry
of Hamilton, and they ask that all
organized labor and the public in gen.
eral lend their moral support that
this end be maintained. All that is
necessary to help the unionists to win
their battle is to see that the union
label appears on all baked goods pur-
chased.

GOING 1T ALONE

In times of prosperity the wage
Garner Of average ability can secure
job and earn a fair income. If he
does not plan to advance his own
interests, he benefits by what others
do, and his wage rates follow a gen
eral rise in wage rates and his hours
of work will conform more or less to
established standards. When depres-
sion comes these individual workers
must also follow trends. This time
the direction is downward Unless
his fellow workers are organized to
exert some measure of control, the
interest Of the workers are subordi-
mated to provisions for interest and
dividends. Workers are laid off and
wages cut.
The inability of the workers to pro-
tect themselves is unfortunate for all
groups in the industry. Unemploy-
ment and wage cuts reduce the con
sumner buying power upon which all
industry and producing serv-
ices depend. Reduction in operating
activity reduces the opportunity of
business to make profits. Loss Of job
and income mean lower living stand
ards for the workers. This means re-
PROGRESSION for the community. If on

yet goes on paying pittances to his
employees, he is not patriot. If a
molder makes fine stump speech in
the interest of his brother toilers, yet
Sights his work in the shop, he is
not patriot.
A patriot is honest with himself,
his neighbors, his employer or en-
ployes, his country. Principle, not
greed fer gold or political expediency
determines his decidions. His vote
is not for sale. Rich or poor, famous
or obscure, his country rightly calls
him good citizen.

TEXAS GOES SOPPING WET

By three to one vote Texas has
just declared for re-submission of the

Texas has been rated as dry, though

Some fifteen of it's eighteen con-

Braille's Gift to the Blind

The Braille system of writing for
the blind was invented by Louis
Braille. a Frenchman, who lived from
1SO91S52. He was blind almost from
birth and attended the institute for
the blind at Paris, where he became
teacher In 1923. He was at this insti-
tuition when he formed the idea of
modifying Barbier's system of writing
with points. Shortly afterward 1t was
introduced into the Royal institute, al
though not published until ten years
later. Since that time 1t has been
adopted in most Continental schools
and also In the United States.

is IMPROVEMENT UNDER WAY,

is IMPROVEMENT UNDER WAY?
Long before most people knew that
a depresson was imminent, the forces
inevitably making for depression were
at work.
Most people will not recognize i'm
provement until the forces making
for it have been at work some length
of time.
There are indications that those
forces are at work. Lowering Of dis
count rates here and in England may
be one faint marker. Certainly, too,
the United States governments pro-
gram, just enacted, will have it's
stimulating effect.
We can probably come back to
something like normal conditions by
stimulation of various kinds, but we
cannot STAY BACK without COM
plete and drastic Encouragement of
the relation of workers to industry
