| am convinced that we ar,
coming, in America, to a system
of old age pensions for everybody
regardless of need. The idea ha!
grown rapidly since DR.. TOWNSEND
launched his project, and was giver
an impetus by the Social Security
Act. l do not imagine the ulti.
mate scheme will be like either Of
those.
If anybody is going to have
pensions, then everybody shoule
have them. At present, only GER
tain favored groups are pensioned
Paupers get old age pensions, as dc
veterans of some Of our wars. Rail
way employees are pensioned, so are
employees of the Federal govern.
ment, of most state government.
and of many municipalities.
1t seems to me to be- the fail
thing to pension everybody at a
given age, and tax everybody to
pay the pensions.
UNEMPLOYED count 'em
l hope the next thing the Ad-
ministration at Washington does
will be to make an accurate count
of the number of persons still I'M
employed. Nobody knows how
many there are, just as nobody
knows how many of them ever
were employed. \ truthful census
of unemployment should tell us
how many are unemployable, by
reason of physical or mental in
capacity, and how many are out of
work because they don't want to
work.
1t is certain, 81 my mind, that
we have been providing, out of
funds, for some millions of
shiftless, lazy and generally incom-
persons who never have
worked when they could avoid it,
yet managed somehow to keep 60
We have made these folk into a
favored special class, which is not
good for them or for the rest of
US. But why not count 'em and
let us know where we stand.
DEMOCRACY it works
November third the greatest
demonstration in historoy of the
way democracy works was given
by the people of the United States.
Nowhere else in the world has any
such number of men and women
ever had the chance to express
themselves and their views on ques-
tons of their own government.
l know of no other great nation
n which the only qualification for
voting is citizenship, regardless of
economic or social status. Nowhere
Use do the people elect the head
their government; they choose
'nly members of their parliaments
" assemblies, who in turn choose
he executives. And nowhere else
hat I know of has any such num-
Der of persons ever cast their votes
without coercion OR interference

by government.
1t has taken $50 years to con-
vince the rest of the world that
democracy works, but works only
when it is absolutely free from all
restraints on the free will and the
honest expressions Of the voters.
PARTIES ... necessary
The two-party system has been
functioning in America since our
nation was a baby. Theoretically,
it is the wrong way to run a ma
ton. In practice, human nature
being what it is, it works better
than any other system which has
ever been tried.
Under our party system the in
dependent voters, who do lot want
to affiliate permanently with either
party, always hold the balance of
power. The actual enrolled mem
bership of either of the major par
ties has never comprised a clear
majority of the electorate. 1t is
the independent vote which, after
all, elects our Presidents.
But without the parties and
their organizations, what a hit-or-
miss affair a Presidential election
would be! Ideally, | suppose, we all
ought to write in the names OF our
personal CHOICES for every office,
but in that case nobody would get
a majority and it would take all
Winter to count the votes.
POLITICIANS :. useful
1t is the fashion to denounce
politics and wholesale. I do it my
self sometimes. | don't like the
method of most politicians, and
have known very few in that clas-
sification whose word | would be
willing to take without question.
But government is a political
matter, and the men who can rur
Governments most effective mus,
of necessity be endowed with the
political gift. Some of the ables'
men we have ever elected to high
office have been failures as admin.
istrators because they did not un'
derstand politics. And some Of
the most successful men in public
office have not had much equip
ment except the deep understand.
ing of human nature and how II
reacts in the mass, which is the es,
sence of political education.
Politicians seem to me, there
fore, to come under the classified
ton of necessary evils"

 sengers on Patco

George Bacon and Guy F. Scott, of Tulsequah, and Louis DeFlorian, employed by Mary Joyce at Twin Glaciers Lodge at Taku, arrived early this afternoon aboard the Alaska Air Transport Patco sea- plane piloted by Sheldon Simmons.

I have printed your letter because

such sense Of peace and comfort and

we waited for our relatives or friends
to pick out our husbands or wives.
DEAR DOROTHY DIX have been
engaged to a girl for a year now
and she expects to marry me soon. Has
her hope chest we'll stocked. She would
make a fine wife for any man who
wanted her, but I don't. I have
changed in my feelings. 1 don't know
why. I have lost interest in her and
I've fallen in love with another girl. I
need your version of how a girl would
feel if she knew had gotten out of
the notion of marrying her. Shouldn't
she insist on 100 per cent of my feel
ings in the matter and accept nothing

for what she has spent and the trouble
she has gone to. Wouldn't this be do

Answer-The only honorable thing
for a man to do when he finds out he
has fallen out of love with the girl to
whom he is engaged is to frankly tell
her so and refuse to go on with the
marriage, no matter how much she

I grant you that the situation puts

that while a Woman has a right to
change her mind in love affairs, a
man must stick to his love VOWS. But

OF COURSE, you hate to hurt the

a more mortifying position than that
of having forced herself upon hus-
band who did not want her and who
resents having to support her and
who looks upon her with loathing be-
cause she has kept him from marrying
some woman he does want. 1t is in
evitable that such a man will be cold
and critical of everything his wife
does, that he will be grumpy at home
