Organized labor iintl tho organized Dinners tire to join to

Ainerieiins have a confirmed habit of forming new national parties. I
In t lie last election in addition to the liep'.blicaii and Democratic!
parties there were the Socialist, Farmer-Labor, Prohibition, So-j
cialist-Labor, Independent-Labor. Independent Single Tax Ameri-j
can and Mack and Tan parties. In VJ2i there will probably be at
least in? equal number. ' i
Jiut it is doubtful if the race three years henee, will be different i
from the race for the past eijiht years, namely n contest between the j
old standard political organizations, the Jicpublicans and Democrats.
The failure of the Hull Moose party under ivoosevelt. buried the
hopes of a successful insurgent political movement for maiiv vears to
come. The Progressives had at their head the greatest political leader
of the Twentieth Century, they had a genuine ami appealing issue,
but the net result of their efforts was merely to split the lie publican
strength and elect a Dc: loeratie President. It is vain to hope a simi
lar effort in would meet with any more tangible results.
The United Stales is normally a two-party nation, and will so
continue. The issues will change, they are changing today, but the
power of political absorption in both the major parties is too great,
to render a political revolution a probability.
When the Republican party can absorb opposing types like Hiram
Johnson and Penrose, and the Democratic party can accommodate
'William Jennings liryau and Boss Muphy, there is little chance of
either paritsan band wagon being abandoned entirely.
The Republican party is now plainly a conservative party, and the
Democratic party will undoubtedly reform its ranks as a radical or
progressive party. The Prohis, Single Taxers, Farmer Laborites and
what not will have their little intermezzos, but when the storm is over
and the votes are counted, it will be found that the old machines are
frill in the lead, with new parts and trimmings no doubt, but witli the
traditions and nominal characteristics very much the same.

Hard times make bard bargains.
Obsolete slogan: Jones pays the freight.
Apparently you can't keep a good price down.
You can also judge a man by the promises lie keeps.
At any rate, the Great War was the last argument of kings.
An army of unemployed is usually recruited by General Apathy.
Another surprise in store for the bride is the discovery that men
commonly wear socks containing from three to seventeen holes.
Some women work hard for a living, and some never get married.
Free people: Those who licked the pcopje who called them rebels.
One good way to curtail armament would be to hire plumbers to
biftlil the battleships.
Let disarmament come while America slill rejoices in the convic
tion that she can't be licked.
It is difficult to 'understand why a man should saw his way' out of
jail in times like these.
You can trust some men, but the man who says his word is as good

it happened at the intersection of Hunkuin Koad and Hayseed
"Way. Had I gone slowly, as my pastor has urged me a thousand
times, there would have been no fierce disaster to swell the list
of auto crimes. Put I was sending my tin Lizzie a gait no Lizzie
ought to know, and I, alas, was far too busy to scan the landscape
to and fro. And so (hat bus of Hiram Horner's came scorching to
me all unseen, and we collided at the corners, ami rolled in burn
ing gasoline. I'm full of tin and grease and gravel, and as I
sit here, sick and dour. I swear that I will never travel at more
than seven miles an hour. Of course, I blame the other fellow
and say he should be pinched and tried ; it is a habit, rather yellow
wherever motorists abide. And Hiram sits in silence solemn, and
knows not I am telling fibs; the surgeon wired his spinal column,
ami put new washers on his ribs. The two poor Lizzies are so
mingled, so void of a dividing line, the tinsmith says he will he
jingled if he can tell me which is mine. And so, in gloomy retro
spection, I think about that ghastly wreck, while surgeons make
a eltwe inspection of sundry fractures in my neck. The roads are
strewn with wrecks unholy, their number never can be told; it
seems that people won't drive slowly, however bitterly I scold.
