INSTALLMENT XIV.


THE press agent of the New
Stuyvesant Theater, veteran
In the street OF ballyhoo
i FURNISHED off a fresh set OF
superlatives md broWsed
about back stage to find how he
might use them to the greater glorifi-
cation Of Princess Pep"
Business was brisk. But If there
Is one thing in this world more un-
certain than a political convention
1t is the show busiess. One never
knows from one day to the next
which way the public will veer. The
boss had sunk a fortune in this girl
opera Not his own fortune, to be
sure. The boss was too wise for that
Instead he had allowed a couple of
opulent gentlemen interested in the
development of art and personally
in two of the more glorified young
artistes, to come in" on the show
But the boss had his reputation as
q glorifier to thing about.
Ben Bernstein, ballyhoo expert ex-
traordinary, bethought him that for
two days he had failed to provide
the public with fresh reason for
concluding that Princess Pep" must
be the hottest show in town. Some
thing ought to be turned up some

to emerge fro mthe wings of the

dance that was to be an innovation
in the glorification business.
"Whew!" Ben let out low

THIS BRAIN TRUST

IN some way it is TOO bad that the express
L sion brain trust" was ever invented.
It sets up a handy straw man for attack,
to be sure but it tends to blind the people Of
the country to the real source of most of that
mass of legislation and policy which makes up
the new deal
As was pointed out in recent dispatch
from Washington nearly all the really radical
proposals for legislation come out Of congress,
not from the brain trust.
The Connery 3O-hour week bill the COM
pulsory cotton control scheme, the bonus
measure. the silver measure the unempoy-
ment and old age insurance plans, the Nc
Leod bank deposits bill and the johnson
utilities act-an these came straight from
congress.
The stock exchange and truth -in-securities
bills are generally looked upon as the work of
the brain trusters. But these, also, came from
congress; what the brain trusters did was to
whip them into shape at the request of con-
gressmen who planned to introduce them.
1t is right there that you get an interesting
little angle on the brain trust
The truth-in-securities bill has one distinc-
ton that few pieces of legislation have ever
rvaled; it is alright.
Congress has passed laws before this to
curb activities Of the moneyed powers. Usu-
ally these laws look we'll on paper, but de-
velop flaws loopholes and whatnot in actual
practice, so that high powered lawyers have
little trouble guiding their clients straight
through them.
Not so with the securities bill. There isn't
a loophole in it. 1t means what it says, and
the best lawyers of Wall Street have so far,
been unable to find so much as broken
thread in it's fabric
It's one law that can't be lodged or side
stepped.
That part was the brain trusts work; and
perhaps it explains some of the antagonism
For the rest it is important to remember
that congress has not lost any of its powers
If it uses this brain trust to make its wishes
stick, that may be too bad-but the remedy
lies in an attack on congress- not in an attack
on the brain truSters.

EVOLUTION AND
REVOLUTION

BY Tommy Caformas.
The other day when the President
spoke of revolution and evolution
he was very close to the truth. What
is evolution? And what is revolu-
ton?
Apparently, evolution is the grad
ual change Of things from one state
into another. If I have a brand new
automobile and set it out in the
weather, after a period of time the
automobile evolves so that it is not
brand new any more. Evolution is
the action of time and space on
matter. When this is consistent and
follows by easy transition from one
stage into another it remains eYolu-
ton.
Revolution is a sudden change.
The natural course for a river is
to flow to the sea. If the river is
strong and some one dams it, it is
only matter of time until the river
breaks the dan-that is revolution
A body in motion that remains at
the same constant motion or accel-
crates or deceIerates gradually is
evolving.
A body in motion that is suddenly
stopped or a still body suddenly put
in motion-that is revolution.

OTHERS ON STRIKE
WITH KNITTERS
BY a Striker.

I am Real Silk striker and I
can not understand why most Of the

from SIS to $40 week This is So

American Federation of Hosiery
Workers.
Mr.. Hougland said there isn't a
knitter at Real Silk who can not
make S35 a week I do not know
where he got his information, but I
am a knitter and 1 have not aver
aged more than S23 a week for
year. I have had penalties taken
from my pay ranging from $3.50 to
81 every week. I had no control
over the penalty, and I could not
remedy it. It is a bonus penalty"
plan which is enforced for good or
bad work. I know Of very few knit
ters on my floor who got bonus
for good work.
These men are not striking for
higher wages alone. They want the
right to collective bargaining by
representatives Of their own chOos-
ing given every working man by
Section IA of the NRA code.

OUT OF POLITICS

JUSTICE HARLAN F. STONE of the United
States supreme court let's it be known
that he is "out of politics" and is not inter-
ested in reports naming him as a possible
contender for the Republican presidential NOM
nation in 1886
Although Justice Stone is unquestonably
man of presidential caliber, his attitude is one
to be applauded; for the tradition which places
the supreme court outside of politics is good
one which deserves to be kept alive
To be sure, Charles Evans Hughes resigned
from the court in 1916 to run for the presi-
dency, and after the Civil war, Chief Justice
Salmon P. Chase accepted support for the
presidency.
But in the main the tradition has held:
supreme court justice is out of politics and
takes no interest in political campaigns and
Stratagems.
Justice Stone does his country a service
by emphasizing that the tradition is still in
operation.

OFFICIALS of fraternal lodges at Athens
~ Ga, have thought up little stunt to in
crease attendance at lodge meetings, and it
looks good enough to pass on for the bene-
fit of such other lodge officials as may need it.
Briefly, it is this: Through the Athens
Banner-Herald, they announced that unless
attendance picks up very soon reporters will
be invited to attend all meetings and publish
the names of those who are present
This, of course, would mean that husbands
who use that old gag about going to the lodge
meeting" would have to make good on the
statement or listen to some choice remarks
from the little woman.
It's probably a dreadful invasion of the
rights and privileges of the male but the Ban
ner-Herald reports that Athens wives are
commencing it heartily. And it ought to slim
ulate lodge attendance greatly!

to smile when the khan mentions
money raising. That is about all
that the khan did when it was in
power in this state. 1t MIXED $40
from every sucker who would listen
to its propaganda. This might be
said to be eXcuSable if it had used
this money for some good purpose
One Of the pet schemes to
draw in members was to robe up
and drop S25 on the collection table
of some minister. That minister
would in turn call in the male men,
bers Of his flock and try to convince
them that membership in the khan
was necessary before one could have
eternal life Many of this flock
would fall on this smooth line. The
khan would spend S25 and take in
several hundred. What a racket!
After doing a thing Of this sort
the organization has intestinal
fortitude enough to attack man
like Father Coughlin, a man who
has succeeded in doing as much
good for the Presidents new deal
program as any other twenty men.
The Kourier makes capital of the
fact that Father Coughlin is a
Roman Catholic bishop. They say
that he should stay out of public
life. The Kourier fails to remember
that just a few years ago one
Bishop Cannon was touring the
country fighting Al Smith and de-
mocracy in general. This same
Bishop Cannon incidentally allowed
his feelings to get the best Of his
reasoning and as a result he had
some difficulty over campaign
funds.
The khan is again attempting to
raise its head in Indiana. 1t is
not probable that the people Of the
state will rally around the fiery
cross as they once did. However,
it IS probable that some few Hoo
siers Will allow themselves to be
misled by such publications as the
Kourier. a member Of that group
of publications that do nothing
more than stir up animoslty and
hatred.

DECLARES HIGHER
WAGES REQUIRED

BY Times Reader.
Quite often I have seen the opin-
ion expressed in this column that
if both low prices and wages pre-
vailed, a certain measure Of pros
perity would be restored can
remember when $12 or S14 a week
was considered a good living wage.
However, prices at that time were
comparatively low.
I also recall that there we're no
radios, electric washers, etc, and
owning an automobile was a luxury
within the reach of only the wealth.
lest families.
1t is not possible to return to the
old living standards now, with null
titudes dependent on the automo-
bile, railroads, radios, and other
modern developments for a living.
But overproduction has caused
wages in a large majority of in
stances to return to the scale
while the living standards remain
the same. No human power can
return us to the old living standard;
therefore wages must advance.
I have at hand a letter from a
merchant in a city in the northern
part Of the state He writes:
There are more people in town
than ever. Every one, it seems, is
working, and there is hardly an
empty house in town. But, wages
are so low and the future SO uncer-
tain that they spend very little and
business is considerably worse than
last year"
AS The Times has pointed out, We
must raise wages in advance Of
prices.
