Well, there's nothing like a little
clowning as a way of covering up the
fact that there's nothing serious or
sensible to say.
But clowning, as a means of achiev-
ing the presidency in 1886, does seem
to be carrying matters just a little
too far
However, clowning has become so
clearly the character of the COP
campaign that anything else would
astonish the population beyond it's
ability to stand the shock. Quite
probably
Knox Knox, the Chicago publisher,
once Hearst manager, Landon, with
his promise to cut the taxes corpora
tions pay, Hearst, with his trip to
Italy on the fascist liner Rex, and his
Amsterdam (accent on the last syl-
liable, please) clowning, have fixed the
character of the COP so-called cam
paign beyond any possibility of change
at this late hour.
And let's not forget the duPonts,
the Melons, the Morgans, the Rocke-
fellers-and All Smith.

And, that amt all

And, that amt all.
The COP runs two kinds of labor
headquarters in Chicago.
At least they call them labor head
quarters.
One is supposed to be union head
quarters, where one or two union men
are reported to have strayed in by
mistake. It's a lonesome place
The other is an anti-union head
quarters, called an open headquarters,
on another street. 1t is said to be a
busy place.
There is an old~adage about keep
| ing the left hand in ignorance of what
the right hand is up to, but these
two hands of the COP in Chicago prob
ably know very well what they are
mutually up to.
There is another old saw about
playing both ends against the mid
die, or both ends to the middle-and
that is the one that fits the Chicago
situation.
Mr.. William Hard, the COP radio
apologist, ought to explain this per.
formance of the two political Dromios
romping through their act under the
COP tent in the Windy City.

Rising activity in Wisconsin archi.
lecture Is promised for 1885, according
to Arthur Peabody. State architect.
in 4 survey reported to the American
Institute Of Architects. Commissions,
he finds, have increased steadily in
number and have improved in size
since 1888. Conditions indicate SINH.
lar betterment throughout the country,
he points out.
Business in the architectural field
is somewhat better than during last
year. Comparing the records for the
last three years, 1888 appears to have
been least productive. There was a
certain upturn In 1884 and better
conditions during the following year."
SAYS Mr.. Peabody. who Is president OF
the Madison Chapter OF the institute.
Commissions Recorded.
More commissions were recorded In
Wisconsin in 1885 than in any Of the
previous three years, he states. Prof.
ects totaled l 1896 in 1898; 9se In 1894:
457 In 1888 and 1924 In 1882.
Presenting business to have been
evenly distributed among 422 registered
architects Of the State. we can estimate
the average Of commissions which
came to each one Of them for these
years" he continues. There were los
jobs per architect in 1882: 1903 in
1888: 2.s9 in 1884, and 33s in 1885.
1884 Projects Small.
"One element which these figures
do not reveal is the comparatively
small size Of the projects during 1884.
These took the form Of garages, taverns
and the repair and remodellins Of old
structures. Another factor excluded
in the totals Is the number Of private
houses and farm buildings not usually
recorded In trade journals but which
contributed to the activity in the
profession.
Projects in 1885 seemed more sub
stantial. Whatever may have been
the reason behind 1t. there were re-
corded a number OF school buildings.
small churches and here and there a
factory. brewing establishment or
chain store building.
IAN circumstances considered, the
statement that business Is looking
up seems warranted. This condition
should not be limited to the State Of
Wisconsin, but ought presently to
obtain in other parts OF the Nation"
