Not in the Platform

Well at least the District suffrage plank didn't get
into the Democratic platform, those who favor vote
for our half million residents have some hope that some
thing will be done along this line.
Judging by the lUay the Democrats treated their
1882 PLATFORM the SUreSt UGy to have killed the
suffrage proposal UOuLd haze been to haze the
UentiOn adopt the UOte plank and nail it securely to
the 1886 platform.
The proposal saved from that ignominy despite
the Indians and tea that the District delegation took to
Philadelphia.
Just what may be expected from the adoption by the
convention of the resolution of Mr. George p Marshall
pressing it as the sentiment of the gathering that Con-
gress should investigate the granting Of the vote to the
District is probematical
Whether the Democrats will forget about this resolu-
tion as soon they depart from Philadelphia whether
they will remember it clearly than they do their
platform pledges is unknown.
THERE ISN'T ANY DOUBT THAT REGARDLESS
OF THE OUTCOME OF THE NOVEMBER ELECTION
THE DEMOCRATS COULD INDUCE CONGRESS
TO MAKE THE SUFFRAGE INQUIRY If THEY
WANTED TO.
Even with the country going for Governor Landon,
the Democrats would still control the Senate and might
very likely control the House.
So they could give force to the convention resolution
if they remember it after the election.
Those UUhO believe that greater practical cOntri-
button to Improvement OF the local government could
be obtained by giving local citizens UOte their
local officers OiH be glad that the Marshall resOlu
ton does not cOnfine the proposed inquiry to the
matter of national representation.
The resolution is all inclusive, suggesting that the
inquiry be made into granting suffrage"
Similar Investigations have been made in the past by
Congressional committees but they have largely been
fined to the national representation proposal.
Consequently they have had little substantial effect

older successful men who should be able to tell
a young man just what ability is required for the
job in which they have already succeeded
The difficulty is that older and successful men
usually can talk only generalities. They cannot
look into the minds and identify the particular
abilities of young men who apply to them for
advice. Those who in good faith, try to advise
most earnestly, often go farthest astray.
Wise advice as to a career is possible up to a
certain point.
The voice, appearance, manners of young
may indicate capacity for salesmanship
Interest in the products, in the factories and
knowledge of the world may indicate an inclina-
tion toward merchandising. But who can tell
what power may reside in an inexperienced young
man?
No man can say to ambitious youth: "Try
this and you will succeed"
Only experience, going back thousands Of
years, can say truly to every young man: "Try
hard oork AT SOMETHING and eventually,
you MUST succeed"

Journeys
CARLSBAD CAVES

Among the greatest of natures
wonders can be seen within the
confines of our own country. So,
until we have visited them all, or
at least most of these places, we
have no right to call ourselves
world travellers.
Especially since visitors come
from abroad and desire to see
Yellowstone and Yosemite parks
and the Carlsbad CavernS. AS well
as the parks. the fame of these
cavernS in New Mexico has spread
all over the world and it behooves
us to make the trip sooner or later
It is a side trip from FL Paso, if
one is travelling by train. Motor
cars or coaches also make the $50
mile journey across the plains OF
Texas, the arroyos of New Mexico
and then to the foothills of the
Guadalupe Mountains where the
opening to Carlsbad Caverns is
located.
They are the largest and most
wonderful cavernS in the world
They embrace in their endless con
fines all the natural wonders you
ever have seen. a virtual museum
in which nature, aided by time
has created some of her greatest
glorieS.
It is a five-hour trip past the
spectacle of flowing rock and terri
fic conflagrationS in colored crys
tai, out of which tongues of flame
seem to leap up to sweep away the
overhanging icicles.
Then there are kings and
queens palaces and throne rooms

one photog-JOhn D. M. Hamilton
rapher had arrived. At 1852 p. m,
nine more correspondents and
three additional photographers
Swelled the group.
Obviously the room was never
prepared for this, but then it had
been long time ago that the Re
publican national committee had
to provide for such a turnout. A
few more drifted in and now they
were sitting on the desks as well
as on the chairs.
The memorandum pads Of the
displaced reception cerk and
stenographers had disappeared
along with any stray pencils that
might have been left around.
An unidentified gentleman en-
tered the room with his secretary
and said:
"You just take this" and
stopped. He added:
81 doubt if you can work here"
The secretary hadn't really been
able to get into the room and so
she readily agreed and they went
elsewhere.
The newspaper men talked shop
very enthusiastically The photog-
raphers milled around uneasily,
making a big play about protecting
their cameras and stepping all
over the correspondents feet every
time they moved.
THINGS START
It had long been the thought Of
the gathering that John D. M
Hamilton, new chairman OF the
committee, would appear at any
moment. He did, suddenly and
dramatically, at the end OF the
room where there was just enough
space for one more.
care you all ready?" he
shouted.
There was a rush toward the
voice.
"IH get up here" he said,
jumping smack bang up on the
seat of a very inoffenSiVe office
chair. The chair took it without
a groan.
Mr.. Hamilton, not being in a
manner of speaking a mountain
of a man, balanced himself
nicely. A photographer in the
rear didn't do so well. He had to
get up high, too, so he turned up
a wastebaSket and stood on that.
He stood on it just long enough to
get focus. Then the WastebaSket
collapsed and down he went but
holding up his camera in his right
hand Just like champion.

@ CHOOLS pour out millions of ambitious,

Listen, World!

You've got TO look cut for pity.
It can do more and worse things
to mortals than almost any other
human feeling.
Worst part is, of course, we
never suspect that PHYS to blame.
For we've been taught that Pity
is "topS" as a virtue. and a sure
fire hit if you're heading for a
halo. Yet, actually, there's no
more dangerous and demoralizing
emotion. Nor one which is more
viciouSly used.
We've all known unfortunate
times in our own careers whom
pity was hard to take and
we longed fiercely to amputate the
condescending fist that flung us
a dole.
We've also all known people
who made a racket of being pitied
who used some sob story to
slug their way through life as
ruthleSsly as any thug would use
brass knuckles. The poor, help

whole family jumping through
hoops lest her sensitive feelings or
her broken heart get acting up

Yes, we've all met them, and
could write volumes on the de-
structive aspects of such pity rack
cts and racketeers. But there's
one fact which we fail to remem-
ber or refuse to admit-namely.
that our own brand of pity may
not be the gold plated treat we
imagine it is.

The Greatest Show On Earth
Bv Frank Miller Smith

Mr.. Hamilton, fresh from q con-
vention, took no notice Of this but
began:
DO you want to start it or
shall II"
And before anyone could say
anything he snapped:
"I'll start it. The notification
of the Vice presidential nominee
will take place in Chicago on the
3Oth."
FAST THINKER
Mr.. Hamilton was having his
first press conference in Washing
ton. He looked a far cry from the
hick some people suspected would
come from a typical prairie
State"
He started things quickly and
he kept the tempo up.
He is regarded by newspaper
men as the fastest thinker on
his feet Of anyone in this mans
campaign.
His answers were direct, with
out hesitation and to the point.
He looked for all the world
like a barker on a platform in
front of a side show.
If there were any thoughts
riding through his mind that
this was the political center of
the nation and he was facing any
kind of a crisis in his first public
utterance here, they didn't show
in that smiling, clean shaven
face. He was handsome and
eXuberant.
He was just getting into the
swing of things when the photog-
rapher in the rear having care
fully climbed upon a swivel chair
with rollers focused again. Some
one touched the chair. Down
he went, camera still waving.
The flashlights were going fast
then. Spurts of light Splashed
across the chairman's face. Just
to give his buddy a chance to
try again, one of the other boys
on a desk to the left touched his
battery and thu flashlight bulb
exploded. Glass showered over
everyone within three feet, but
the chairman'S SrGlile never
dropped.
UNPERTURBED
Three correspondents kept
bounding away. The photogra-
pher in the rear decided to make
a good job of it. He climbed on
desk. Disarranging the ink
stands, pens and papers, a little
but nothing serious. square d
away, took careful aim and
stepped back-juSt little.
Mr.. Hamilton raised his hand
in a forceful gesture. Swell shot,
The photographer lifted his
left foot carefully, drew the cam
era back for the quick take, put
his foot down and hit the floor
with a crash that even a Hamil-
ton couldn't ignore.
The conference ended on the
chairman'S assurance that the
Democrats were both diSap-
pointed, discouraged and fright
ened."
No one looked at the office
floor, desks or chairs as they went
out.

move right in and manage his life
for him. So, then, the other fel-

But does he? No, he does not.

Westminster and even Naples are
far in the background.
They were tops to the ocean
goers of two decades ago, but
modern travel has opened up the
South and the East, and it is
there that the new wonders are
getting the call.
"The Tai Mahal in Agra and
the Cherry Blossom Dance in
KyOtO were the high spots"
So said a shipload of world tour
lists on Cheir arrival back in New
York the other day. Nothing they
had seen had impressed them for
sheer beauty as had the Tai Mahal,
that exquisite tomb which griev-
ing emperor had built for his lost
wife.
All the filth and overcrowding
of India we're wiped from their
minds at the sight of this one pile
of masonry.
A cruise official thinks that the
best loved of all places is Homo
lulu. It is the spot that most Of
all they wish to return to, and
when they get back they are not
disappointed.
What about Bali, the exotic isle
in the Dutch East Indies, which
has inspired poets and tourists to
the lyric heights for the past five
years? The official said:
81 would give Bali another 10
years before it becomes like a
lot of other places in the Dutch
East Indies. There is one cinema
in Bali. but the Dutch tourist
agencies are trying their best
to keep foreign stuff out.
"The native prince is Splen-
did and he is cooperating with
the Dutch officials in every
way. He made it possible for
our passengers to see special
dances.
ITO the BalineSe, their island
is heaven-the worst punish
ment for them is to have to
leave it-and it is beautiful. The
dancing of the girls is mar
velOuS.
The BalineSe wood carving
is very artistic, even, so to
speak, mOderniStic, although
they have been doing the same
sort of thing for generations.
The heads of the carved figures
are quite beautiful while the
bodies are long and slender,
some of them grOtesquely so.
LIKE CALIFORNIA
"AnOther place that we all
enjoyed was johannesburg.
which. thanks to its population
and its gold mines, is a very
up-tO-date and wealthy city.
"In the course of our sight
seeing there, everybody got
quite a kick out of gold brick
one of real gold. 1t looked
smaller, but even the men had
to take two hands and exert
themselves to lift it.
"The Union of South Africa is
more like certain parts of the
United States of America, eSpe-
cially California, than any other
country we visited"
"VariOus American passengers
said that if they had to choose
some other country in which to
live, it would be South Africa,
and one Of the reasons given
was its prOgreSSiveness."
I've been around myself a bit
and like to hear from others
what they think of the harbor of
Rio, or daybreak at Darjeeling and
of midnight at the Sphinx. AS
Wadsworth said, London from
Westminster at dawn is a rare
sight. And one does not Sneeze
at the beauties of Como and Garda.
But somehow and for some rea-
son, my equal choices for the best
places on earth are an Indiana
farm and a penthouse in Man
I haitian.

While many observers are count
ing the Colonials out as far as vic
tory is concerned the ambitious
lads under Jim Pixlee are figur.
ing ways and means of scoring an
upset. There can't be found a
single note Of peSsimism among
them.
Pixlee's pupils are learning the
game fast. They have improved
decidedly with each appearance
so far. Continued improvement
therefore is only to be expected.
Battle in Store
Then again, if the Colonials
have been saving up some offenSe
especially to unloose against the
Rebels which more than likely
is a fact-MiSSiSSippi is going to
have to battle against something
for which it will be unprepared.
What plays G. w. already has
used have been thoroughly secuted
by Mississippi.
All but three Of the 1885 regu-
lars will carry the Cardinal ana
Blue against the Colonials. Those
missing from the team that was
beaten by one point for a tie
for the Southern Conference
championship are Bill Richard
son, place-kicking tackle: Rab
Rodgers, All-Southern quarterback
and Tex Nelson, center. In their
places, though, the Rebels boast
requirements regarded equally as
proficient in all departments of
play. Ned Peters, who scored
against Catholic U. in the Orange
Bowl game on a 67-yard dash, has
taken Rodgers place; Frank Hart,
a 209-pounder has filled the shoes
of Richardson. and Marvin Hut
son, a 210-pounder 5enior, Is sue
cessor to Nelson.
Seven Regulars
Twenty-one Of the MissiSsip.
plans are juniors and seniors with
seven of this group holding down
starting positions. George Wash
ington has only IA juniors and
seniors and relies chiefly on sopho-
mores for reserves. All of which
is significant of the edge Ole Miss
will have in experience.
Most prominent among a star
studded Rebel cast are the HapeS
brothers-Ray. 172-pound half.
back, and Clarence, 250-pound full
back. In less than two seasons of
varsity ball Ray Hapes has scored
five times on runs of more than
80 yards. No other back in 1895
American college ranks can boast
Of such record.
