Dear Readers:
It must be all of 00 days and nights
since your Intellect was renovated,
so you ought to be able to answer
the lollowlng questions, without
thinking, as that Is the way they are
asked:
Your Uncls Sam threatens to spend
$85,000 for a junior postofflce here.
Could not this sum be spent to a
better advantage by building an ad

How did your last batch of home

An you one of those who elgn any

If you are American-born, you prob

Editorial Correspondence
DENVER, Colo., Sept. 4.-
Denver has three of the best
public buildings and two of the
worst newspapers in the Unit
ed States.
The public buildings have
just the qualities the newspa.
pers lack, beauty, dignity, in
tegrity,
The Denver civlo center, the
federal building, the Greek
theatre are a delight to the eye,
they stimulate the mind and
elevate the soul ; the two news
papers do just the reverse.
Why this should be so we
don't know, and haven't time
to find out. But it is certainly
true.
Newspapers and public build
ings should reflect the popular
demand, but whereas the Dea
ver public buildings are in the
best of taste j the newspapers
with their sensational head
lines, dauby make-up, and
cheap appeals (this is particu
larly true of the Bonfils publi
cations) are in the worst. Per
haps the answer is Denver has
excellent architects but no ex
cellent editors. However if
there is any particular dissatis
faction with the newspapers,
we were unable, in our brief
stay, to 'discover it.
Denver has changed greatly
since our last visit, nearly 25
years ago, and all for the bet
ter. Then it impressed us as a
sort of overgrown village, the
Brown Palace hotel being the
only impressive structure, with
a few pretentious mansions of
rich ' mining men scattered
about. Now it is a real metro
politan city, with marvellous
school buildings, colleges, a
beautiful park system, with
golf clubs, polo fields, and
scores of attractive country
places. Because Denyer has
little manufacturing, our guide
informs us, the oity has not felt
the depression very disaster-
ously as yet. Publio finances
are in relatively such good
shape, that the application for
federal relief, and R. P. C. aid,
will probably not be granted.
Aftor talking with one lawyer,
one business man, and a news
paper man the latter two on
the train loaving-the city, we
conclude Colorado will go
democratic this fall.
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 5.
Arrived here on time after a
very cool trip from Denver. So
cool in Wyoming, that the Pull
man porter distributed extra
blankets the first 'night but
thoy were not needed in Ne
vada the second. Passed thru
Las Vegas, the wide open town,
we visited a couple of years
ago, when the Hoover dam had
not been started, and every
thing was on a boom basis, with
real estate offices every few
feet, and subdivisions plotted
out in the desert.
A Los Angeles man on the
train, who has often visited
the town, declares the Hoover
dam boom instead of helping
Las Vegas has injured it. The
government built its own town
near the dam site, and because
Las Vegas refused to close up
its saloons and gambling dens,
the contractors refused to al
low workers to visit the place,
dismissing those who disre
garded the order. As a result
there is a feud between tho
town and the government con
tractors, with the latter get
ting all the best of it. Needless
to say Las Vegas will also be in
the Roosevelt column next fall.
The Los Angeles Times has a
new slant on the Mayor AValker
resignation. It maintains the
resignation was all part of a
frame-up between Walker and
Roosevelt. The resign a t i o n
saved Walker's fuce, gave him
a chance to stage a political
comeback; and it allowed
Roosevelt to appear as an anti
Tammany crusader out in the
sticks, and a friend of the
tiger, in Greater New York.
We wouldn't put such a deal
beyond Roosevelt, then is no
doubt whatever he has played
in with Tammany as governor
of New Tork, but we fail to
see how Jimmy Walker would
be party to such a deal, for the
simple reason he couldn't pos
sibly get any political benefit
from it. He could resign at any
time, without any sanction
from Roosevelt, and that resig
nation, in the country at large,
can't fail but establish his
guilt. No, such an explanation
is too full of holes. Such a deal
would have Jeft Jimmy out on
a limb; and stigmatised Roose
velt, to the world at least
Jimmy's world as dishonest
and unfair. There is po logic
or sense in such, an arrange
ment.
Now for that Walker lesson
which we failed to finish in our
last letter.
How is it that a self confess
ed corruptionist like Walker,
could expected to be re-elected
to the office he disgraced, by
the people he robbed I
Here is the answer,, Tam
many is the most efficiently or
ganized and cleverly conducted
political machine in the world
today. It is essentially a busi
ness organization conducted
for profit, not only profit to
the big bosses, but to the littlo
ones, from the big chief himself
down to the most humble pre
cinct committeeman. This or
ganization hot only is on the
job during the campaign but
every day in the year. And it
holds the votes of the people
the masses ty doing things
for them little things it is
true, but little things that
count. If a voter is ill, the
Tammany committeeman looks
after him; if he wants a job,
the committeeman tries to get
him one. Tammany is the littlo
man's, Roosevelt's forgotten
man, if you please, Big Fath
er, and picnics and excursions
in the country, at Tammany ex
pense ore thrown in.
As a result wJion election
day . comes arqund the littlo
voter marks his ballot as his
good friend the Tammany local
boss tells him. This is particu
larly true in the large foreign
districts in New York, the
Italian, the Greek, the Jugo
slav districts. They vote out
of gratitude And these votes,
while they represent a minor
ity, represent a sufficiently
SOLID minority to carry any
normal oity cloction. This sys
tem has been reduced to such a
science, that any -Tammany
leader can toll, two weeks be
fore election, within 'a few
thousand votes of how that
olection will go.
That is why the endorsement
of Walker by Tammany would
mean his election.
And as long as we have in
New York city, and in other
parts of the country, such an
efficient political organization,
operating in an atmosphere of
political apathy, and opposed
by no SIMILAR ORGANIZA
TION IN OPPOSITION such
a scandalous system of graft
and corruption will continue.
The people of New York city
have it in their power to over
throw Tammany, to secure hon
est and effioient government,
two or three times when condi
tions have become too outrage
ous for even the complacent
rank and file this has been
done, but only once in about 40
or 50 years.
They have done this by
meeting efficient organization
WITH efficient organization,
by going to the polls on elec
tion day, en masse instead of
letting the "other fellow"
do it.
They could do it now. But
will they t Not until the peoplo
of New York all the people,
become politically conscious,
take the same interest in public
business thoy do in their pri
vate business, overthrow min
ority rule by majority rule, in
other words fulfill the funda
mental obligations of democ
racy, which the success and
permanence of Democracy,
PE1IANDS.
When the people of Now
York and the people of- this
country, throw off their politi
cal apathy, when an 80 per cent
instead cf a 30 percent vote
becomes normal on election day
then will our Tammany Halls
and Jimmy Walkers and local
misfits and boodlers, disappear,
BUT NOT UNTIL THEN I
That is the lesson the hear
ing and resignation of Jimmy
Walker teaches would that
the American people, not only
in New York city, but through
out the country might LEARN

Mr. Green, head of the Amer

there are now eleven million,

SWEETS FOR THE 8TRONO AND THE VOl'NO
An athlete who has had years of
athletic training In high school, col
lege and university, particularly In
football and box
ing, a a y a the
coach's Instruc
tions have always
been to "go easy"
on desserts that
contain much
sweet stuff and to
"lay off" milk as
milk Is hard on the
wind. He declares
that athletes of his
acquaintance who
have followed then Instructions have
most easily attained and maintained
the pink of condition. He believes
sugar In the form of sweet chocolate
or milk chocolate do no harm to a
man In training but that the choco
late causes loss of wind and alows
up the man's work.' However, and
this la the place where we take a
second "time out" - to laugh, the
coaches encourage their men to eat
sugar In the form of candled dates
and figs. . Also they urge players to
eat four or five lumps of sugar dur
ing the Intervals or halves of foot
ball games, and during the relaxing
period after a strenuous game the
players were urged to eat still more
sugar. He thinks the sugar has a
distinctly refreshing effect which Is
noticeably absent when the players
do not get the sugar. Finally the
athlete asks w.hy should pies, choc
olate, cofee and even milk be hard
on the wind.
There Is no answer upon scientific
ground. It Is Just one of those old
Yankee customs. I believe some fus
tian charlatan conceived the notion
that certain foods coat the interior
of the esophagus and stomach with
mucus or something and well, that
Is enough for our wiseacre mind.
Milk is a rather bulky food for
emergency use. One must take a
quart of milk In order to get the same
amount of nourishment (calories) one
gets by eating less than four ounces
of milk chocolate or sweet chocolate.
It Is not advisable to take such a
large quantity of liquid Into the
stomach in the midst of a test of en
durance or strength. It might em
barrass the free action of the dia
phragm and hence the return circu
lation and seriously handicap the
athletic performance.
The coaches betray their gullibility
or credulity when they sanction the
eating of sugar In the form of can
dled fruits or In the form of the nat
ural fruit or In. any other particular
nlng of life on this earth, after It
cooled off.
Money is queer. Wise finance tells
you It all depends on how much gold
you have back of your money. . How
do they explain the fact that In
Canada an American changing a
United States twenty dollar gold piece
gets only $17.60 in United States
one-dollar bills, whereas for 20 of
those one-dollar bills he can get
$22.40 in United States gold coin. Try
to figure that out.
In Russia, a government disliked
by gold countries, the supply of cur
rency has" recently bean increased to
a small extent, corresponding with
increased gold holdings, and the value
of the ruble dropped seriously, al
though the total issue of rubles is In
our money, less than three and a ba.f
billions.
Nobody knows much about money.
but there isn't any doubt that if this
country, to solve its problems, should
print one, or two, or five billion dol
lars in currency, with the. govern
ment's guarantee on It, that currency
would be better than the gold bonds
of other nations. But that would
not suit the gentlemen that want to
control the country's money supply,
and do control It.
That this la a rich country, and
would he happy If it only knew what
to do with Its wealth, how to manage,
how to distribute It. you realize when
you read that New York City pays Its
public employees one million dollars
a day. That is almost as much as
It cost to run the whole government
of the United States in hsppy old
days before 1014 started our national
squandering debauch.
New York's taxpayers, supplying
the one million dollars a day, for Jobs
largely political, are not happy about
It. It ought to gratify them to know
that they have so much money, with
something left over for building re
pairs. In London, MayorCennsk of Chi
cago, annoyed by Britishers talking
about "Chicago crime," reminds them
that they have 22,000 policemen in
London. And "If Chicago had that
many cops I could clear the city ot
every criminal." The mayor would
do It of courne If he could, but pos
sibly he couldn't.
It Isn't always the NUMBER or
"COPS" that solve crime problems.
Policemen can't cure a city of crimi
nals, if any Judgrs sympathise too
much with the crlmtnsls. and espec
ially if othet "benevolent" Judgea in

earlier, somebody else, Identity also
unknown, stole 14 automatic pistols
from the National Guard armory at
Central t a, In Washington.
Whereupon excitable people get all
worked up and tell us Incoherently
that communists are preparing to
overthrow government here on the
Pacific Coast and take matters Into
their own hands,
IF YOU are wise, you won't toss
sleepless on your pillow all night
worrying about this possibility.
To begin with, If the communists
are so poorly financed that the only
way they can get arms Is by stealing
an occasional machine gun from a
coast guard boat and a handful of
automatic pistols from an armory in
Centralia, they aren't In a position to
do us much harm.
To end up with, Oregon and Wash

typical American states, aren't going
to be chosen as the scene of the great

LONDON SPEEDS UP;
HORSES TO ALLEYS
LONDON UP) Old Dobbin, plod
ding his heavy-footed way through
London streets, old and new, has
balked all the city's efforts to speed
up stagnant traffic. Now the au
thorities have decided that he must
take to the back alleys, or st least
stay out of the congested traffic dis
tricts. To an American, London seems
filled with cart-horses. Traffic of

they expect little opposition to their
plans.

for bookkeeping machines or
any other kind of printing,
don't order from out-of-town firms
snd pay more. Phone 75 and one of
our representatives will call.
