at he same game, the most
noteworthy being Edward Bella
my, whose Looking Backward"
in 1888, sold more than
a million copies and was translat-
ed into twenty languages.
All of these plans for regenerat-
ing society and making everybody
have the same fatal weakness.
That is that their authors assume
that human nature changes or can
be changed. None of them would
work-unless every other inhabtant
were a policeman-so long as hui
man nature remains essentially sell
fish and self-centered. And we
have seen no evidence that there
has been any great change in that
respect since the days when the
Bible was written. To the argu-
'ment that if everybody had plenty
nobody would steal or cheat, the
answer, as we see it, is that we have
heard of very rich men who were
not always honest.
1t is one thing to make a logical
plan, and quite a different thing to
get people to abide by it. If every
body were honest and unselfish and
SO filled with the spirit of justice
as never to do an injustice to any
one else, the Utopian plans might
work. But if everybody were like
that there would be no need of any
government at all!

POLITICS AND JOBS

We have never heard a satisfac-
tory answer to the question: 'How
can party politics be kept out of
public business?' We are inclin-
ed to think there isn't any answer.
The party in power, whether it be
Republican or Democratic, natur-
ally desires to perpetuate itself in
power. Party politics is based on
organization, to be elective, must
begin down at the grass-roots; that
is to say, in the election districts
and precincts. Organization in
wolves active party workers, who
will keep party sentiment alive in
their respective territories, see t. it
that all the. party voters get out to
the polls; in short, who will, as
nearly as they ar deliver the
vote" of their precincts.
1t does no good to try to organ
ize a party from the top. 1t must
be organized from the bottom.
This involves a great army of party
workers. Few of these are in politics
for the fun of t. They must be
for the fun of it. They must be
ganization could possibly raise funds
with which to pay all of the work
ers even modest salaries. Hence ii
is necessary for the party in power
to see to it that these party work.
ers get jobs, in exchange for their
services to the party and so they can
keep up the good work. If there
are not enough jobs on the public
payrolls to take care of them all,
then the party leaders have to try
to get their workers favored in
filling vacancies in the business
and industries of the district.
Sometimes an industry is quite
responsive, hoping to get favors in
such matters as taxation and minor
violations of the factory laws, or
in some other way.
The party that is EN- always has
an advantage over the "outs," be-
cause it can reward its workers
now, instead of with hopes and
promises if, as and when they get
back into power.
That, in a practical sense, is all
there is to party politics. 1t is alb
surd to expect any party that is
Tin" to keep its workers out of pub
lie jobs, or to let any of the 'outs':
have those jobs. If it did, it would
not be "in' very long.
That is why we place no faith in
any assurance that party politics i:
not considered in filling public
jobs.

RECKLESS

Are you a safe walker? If you
make an honest answer in the
affirmative your life and health is
literally in peril.
Last year acknowledgements
collisions accounted for 81 per cent
of the $4,000 accidents which oc-
Cured on the streets and highways
of this country. Deaths resulting
from such accidents comprised As
per cent of the total of 29,SO0 ia
talities. In other words, pedestri-
ans were involved in more than a
third of all traffic misadventures-
and the chance of fatality was
greater than in other types of acct
dents.
Pedestrians crossing in the mid
die of the block proved the most
hazardous-that caused 81 per cen,
of the fatalities. Careless walking
on highways was responsible for II
per cent. Children playing in the
street came to IS per cent. Walk
ing out from behind parked cars in
to traffic accounted for II pei
cent, with the balance of 20 pei
cent laid to miscellaneous causes.
The careless pedestrian is a men
ace just as is the careless driver
but he receives less attention
Crossing against signals-playing
hide-and-seek with parked cars
walking along rural roads with back
to oncomins raffic-these are
some of the surest means of court
ing death. Think over your walk
ing habits-and correct them.

From as far back as there are
any records, philosophers and re-
formers have been trying to plan
the "Perfect State" We have
looked into some of those plans.
The oldest of which we have a
record seems about the best. That
is the Republic" of the Greek
philosopher Plato, who flourished
about 800 B. c., or more than
1900 years ago. The main diff
Guilty with putting his plan into
operation was that it took fifty
years to train the men who were
to constitute the governing class.
Sir Thomas More published a
book in the year 1920, describing
an imaginary nation which he call
ed UTOPIA" and the name has
been ever since to designate an ideal
of society. Fifty or sixty years
later Sir Francis Bacon tried to
improve Utopia with an account Of
the New Atlantis" another Per

Those critics who manifested a

In the wrong place IN the Inc max

space between the words. Well,
the yarn is this: The writer dash
ed off something good about our
good governor, saying how we'll

The Sights You See and

In Old Newport TOlUn
Rv BILL CORUM

NEWPORT, r. l., Sept. 20.
Being some observations on and
about the scene of the Americas
Cup races:
The town of Newport is al
most 800 years old and it is be-
ginning to show its age.
A cottage here is a marble
shack Of from 80 to so rooms
and a ballroom that looks like
a roller skating rink.
The hot shots of the town are
Bailey's Beach, the Casino and
the Country Club.
The Country Club was the
scene Of the first important golf
tournament ever played in the
benighted States, and it was so
exclusive that even the golf
writer's had to sneak in under
the ropes.
Mr.. Duncan Curry, now of the
New York American sports staff,
covered the tournament via the
backdoor. One of the mem.
bers of the tournament commit
tee had only a few days pre-
viously had occasion to put The
arm on Mr.. Curry for tenner.
Mr.. Curry has never been quite
certain whether this very social
gentleman wished to keep away
from the golf matches because
he didn't want him to write
about them in the paper, or be-
cause he feared he might want
the ten back.
