The Democratic Drama
(New York Times)

(New York T1meS)
 Any election is enough to set one to thinking maybe bit wistfuly, about democracy The struggle for freedom is like youthful courtship full of fire and poetry. Young Lochinvar comes out of the West swings Universal Suffrage neatly into the saddle leans to tighten the Bill of Rights, and with the Australian Ballot in his teeth gaops across the moors and into the Esk River Bugles blare and the drums beat and bullets sing about the of ragged men. The British infantry moving doggedy up the slopes of Breeds Hill; Lincoln rises to speak at Gettysburg unimportant speech he thinks, but a President must say at least few perfunctory words; the Suffra- gists annoying President Wilson by picketing the White House But the victory is at last and then the romance is like suburban househod-pleasant, peaceful little humdrum, with bills to pay, Johnnys teeth to be strengthened and the problem Of getting father down to the 758 every working morning
 Democratic elections often lack the outward drama and we try to make up for the lack by exag- geratng personalities and stressing heavily the clash of ideas. But since political parades have largely gone out democracy has nothing to compare with the goose stepping the saluting, the thump and bare, the spinal appeal of autocratc Governments. Yet inwardly there is drama of high order when peo- pie governs itself Our freedom is no accident Some lines of Lowers Commemoration Ode finger in the memory
 Many in sad faith sought for her,
 Many with crossed hands sighed for her;
 But these our brothers fought for her.
 At lifes dear peril wrought for her, So loved her that they died for her. The Truth" of which Lowell wrote is this demo- cratic liberty which we exercise by going however prosaically to the polls
 Yes there is drama in the struggling lines of voters walking-not marching, not pounding the earth With hobnailed boots brought down in unison, sautng no fauously selfsatisfied dictator-gong to the polling places. Consider its deeper meanings: in them may be found the victories and aspirations of democracy for generations past and to With the secret ballot freely cast, say that men are men and women women not ants, not bees individuals, mem berS of the State but not it's slaves.

 If the is to be of value it is essential that every person affected fill out of the blanks President Roosevelt in his message said:
 Tt is important to the unemployed and to every one in this land that the census be complete honest and If you give the facts shall try to them for the benefit of all who need and want work and do not have it.
 Unless the is complete a large part of it's value will be lost for the idea is to get accurate check of the number of unemployed that the stua- tion may be remeded Thus, every person who is not employed is partially unemployed should make it a point to register this week If there any question in-your mind about it, Postmaster Vile announces that the postoffce is ready to supply the answer

Horoscope "The stars incline
 but do not compel'
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER l6, lss7

Adverse planetary aspects appear to rule today, according to astrol- ogy. Although there is a sign prom ising to labor, the planetary gov ernment is threatening.
 Jupiter is in a place read as per picking to leaders in every human activity. In business and in gov ernment perils are many. This is not an suspicious date for starting any important project.
 Mental processes in both men and women may be ill-directed. There will be a general tendency to criticize. The young may be headstrong and difficult to direct.
 In educational institutions there will be much wrong thinking on political and economic topics. As great tests to humanity are prepar- ing, the people will be restless.
 Women will face problems in the household where many minds are likely to conflict and long estab- lished customs cease to be accept able.
 This is not lucky date for so- cial entertainments. Courtship will amuse young men but emotions are likely to be unstable. Summer en- agreements to marry may be brck- en
 This will be disappointing week to certain producers of plays for stage or screen. The quest for en- jtertainment is to be seen, however, as the winter season advances.
 Fires in motion picture studies and factories are indicated by the stars. Heavy losses at sea are also prognosticated
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of pros perity, but they should guard their tempers. Emotional upheavals may be frequent. Many opportunities for gain are presaged
 Children born on this day may be keen of mind and fond of both mental and physical exertion Sub jects of this sign of Scorpio are usually determined, tenacious and strong -willed.
 I, John Bright, English statesman and orator, was born on this day 1811 Others who have celebrated it is a birthday include Edward Everett Aver, financier, 1341; King Kalakaua I of Hawaii, 1896. | Copyright l930

Labor Gets Together
Philadelphia Record)


 A gratifying change has come over the relations between the two great rival organizations the C. O. and the American Federation of Labor
 Perhaps both groups of leaders were made aware that their blasts each other not too enhuSas- tically welcomed by their rank and file members.
 Among ordinary unionists there exists a strong pressure for labor unity and cooperation that not even William Green dares ignore. The present negotiations between the two groups would have been considered impossible few months ago And the possibilities of some sort of accord today much brighter than they were few weeks ago
 It is still too early to do more than hope for full agreement But it should be at least possible to lay down a basis for settling ursdctional disputes in many fields and to greatly restrict the existing conflict
 Neither CIO. AF. of L. unions profess to wish the destruction of the other camp Both state objectives that not mutually exclusive or beyond the realm of compromise.
 Let labor's negotiations with labor set an example of intelligent cooperation that may be held up to in fluence capitals negotiations with labor. The difficulties facing the present conference are formidable. But the dangers to labor gen. eray if progress isn't made toward closing the gap between AZ of L. and CI.O.
