THE TOWNSEND VOTE

When any group can command an at
tendance of more than 5000 delegates at
a national convention, delegates who
represent every croSs-rOad and city In
the nation-that group is one which
commands the full respect of politicians.
Regardless of the merits of the Town
send Old Age Revolving Pension plan,
it is one with which almost every vote
seeker in the 1886 elections will have to
cope Whether the campaigner approves
or disapproveS of the Townsend pro
gram. his reaction will be of supreme i'm
portance to many of those who go to the
polls to cast their ballots. The same
will be true in state and national eec
tionS. The Townsend vote is a vote to
be reckoned with.
Preliminary indications point to no dl-
rect action by the Townsend convention
in choosing or endorsing a presidential
candidate. Leaders, in fact, have denied
that the convention will do so, but in de-
nying it they have declared that dele
gates will return home with full instruc-
tions to question the stand of every
major candidate on the Townsend plan.
For those who do not approve of the
plan. the situation will be an embarrass-
ing one requiring the utmost in diplo-
macy. For those who favor the program,
the opportunity will be heaven sent.
Success of the Townsend plan in the
near future is a moot question. Propon-
ents of immediate payment of the SOL
dier's bonus welded large vote-al-
though there is no way to determine if
it is as large as that of the Townsend
group. Yet. payment of the bonus has
not yet been approved by congress. Ap-
proval seems almost certain at the next
session, but even seeming certainties
have not always developed results in the
bonus controversy. Whether the Town
send club movement will follow the same
rocky path remains to be seen.
1t is certain only that the Townsend
vote will swing a powerful Influence in
forthcoming elections. Politicians, how
ever. are not wont always to carry out
campaign promises.

ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE,

There are men whose lives have been
foundation stones in civilization, and
other men whose loss was felt keenly
because their kindly natures had en-
deared them to all with whom they came
in contact. Inventors have given the
world light and power; they have taught
men to fly and to dive deep beneath the
sea. Scientists have explored the mys
teries of life and DEATH and their dlscoV-
cries have advanced mankind far along
the path of progress. Physicians and
surgeons have conquered disease and
prolonged life, builders have erected
great, towering stone and steel towers
as monuments to their prowesS eXplor-
ers have advanced the borders of civil
ization, soldiers have marched under the
banner of glory, statesmen have mould
ed the laws which govern life. They
were and are great men, all, yet their ac-
complishment is no more than that of a
man who died the other day.
When Sidney Smith, the dynamic car
toonist who created The GumpS and Old
Doc Yak. was killed in an automobile ac-
cident, thousands of persons in every
part of the world lost friend. What
Smith was, as a man, meant little to
them. They might have met him on the
street and passed him by without
glance, or they might have chatted with
him and forgotten him after casual in

ner. He was an average man. and liked
the things average men like. Perhaps
his courage or his vision were no more
than those of the people with whom he
rubbed elbows every day. Yet Sidney
Smith, and hundreds of others like him,
perform the greatest service any man
can perform. They amuse and enter
tain hundreds of thousands of people.
To the men who amuse it, this hard
boiled old world owes more than passing
thanks. Their task is a unique one, a
task for which few are fitted. With all
that, it is one of the most necessary of
all the millions of jobs man performs
every day. Without amusement, with
out relaxation, a major part of man
kind would not be able to progress as it
has Those who build what we know as
the foundation of our modern civiliZa-
tiOn must find relaxation from their SER
ious labors, and the persons who work
for and with them are in need of amuse-
ment, too. If it were not for the men
of Sidney Smiths brand-in one line or
another-there would be little Of the hu-
morous side
Just as surely as though an industrial
giant, famous scientist, great build

FROM SALE OF
SINGLE STAMP

LONDON. Oct. %. U.P)-A square
inch scrap of paper will be offered
for sale here Oct. 80 at a price of not
less than $4,000.
This is the value put upon one
cent magenta British Guiana stamp
of 1856 by its owner, Mrs. Pascal
Costa Scala, wife Of the late M. Hind,
who during his lifetime possessed
one of the most valuable stamp COL
lections in the world
The stamp is roughly composed
from ordinary printers type and is
the only one Of its kind known to be
in existence at present. 1t was print
ed in a newspaper office in George
town, Demerara, as makeshift un-
til the next steamer from London
could bring fresh supplies.
In 1876, a 14-year-old schoolboy
found this stamp hidden away in
an attic amongst a bundle of old
forgotten letters. Liking its color, ne
decided TO add it TO his collection
Later he sold it to a stamp collector
for six shillings (Sl.50).
Some years afterwards this col.
lector sold his entire collection fol
S625 to Thomas Ridpath, of Liver.
pool.
From that day on the lone Brit.
ish Guiana stamp scared in value.
Count Philippe Won Ferrari, once
renowned collector, bought 1t TO
S775 from Ridpath. The rarity of th'
issue having been established, Hint
was forced to pay S36,715 in 1872
when the Ferrari collection was dis
posed of.
The sale on Oct 80 will see Har
ner, Rookie 6S Co, of Arundel Street
London, offering the tiny magent
scrap for $4,000
