IT'S AN "ALL-UNION" AFFAIR
One union pitted against another,
with the consuner not yet suffering
as expected-that appears to be the
situation after one month of the an-
thracite strike.
From Chicago comes word that a
veritable city of railroad workers has
been laid off due to the coal strike.
The roads that ordinarily handled
more than a thousand cars daily are
transporting but a few hundred. The
railroads are compelled to cut down
on expenses. And turning the worker
away jobless is their way out.
The railroad worker loses.
The consumers have not yet been
placed in a precarious situation.

WE WANT
A
TENTRILOQUIST
We forgot to mention, yesterday
that there is to be no campaigning of
any kind in this contest. Any candi-
date whose name or picture is seen
on a poster advertising his candidacy
will be dropped from the contest
without further notice. Votes are
pouring into this office and we plan
to make the results of the first few
days voting very soon.
We also want to apologize for the
ballots. It seems there was some
slight misunderstanding between the
linotypers and ourselves. We had
planned to leave space on the ballot
for the name of the candidate which
was not done either because there
were no more dashes in the office or
because the - oh, well, what's the
use-anyway on the ballots which we
are printing this morning there will
be space.
If this tremendous balloting con-
tinues we are going to purchase a
voting machine of some kind. Pleas

THE FLORIDA LAND B00O
Florida, which has, since the days
of Ponce de Leon, played host to the
seekers ;of youth, beauty and sun-
shine, has come to the fore within the
last year .as host to a different type
of visitor-the man with the get-rich-
q i c mania, drawn by the fabulou
t rs of millions to be made over-
ubi. ., Florida land.
£ "§' (1lU1w lil-ch has struck Flor-
m.d :11 n.. l kzhas already become

"bubble" variety. There is every rea-
son why Florida should grow-it has
the climate, natural resources and,
most important of all, it now has the
financial capital which is so necessary
for development. Florida presents a
great opportunity-for those who
have the capital to invest and a
financihl standing capable of financ-
ing a trip south.
However, history repeats itself-
and every land boom in history has
b4.o p accompanied by ta certain
amount .of wild-catting. Men with
no regard' for ethics and a gr ot re-
gard for the American dolLc' ind it1

LAWS CANNOT RISE ABOVE
THE ATEN WHO MAKE THEM
"This country needs worthwhile
legislators and not those prize dum-
mies who are responsible -for sur-
felting the land with a maze of use-'
less and diabolical laws," said Lieut.
Gov. Harold Van Ormon of Indiana in,
a recent address before the forty-
seventh annual convention of the
Hotel Men's Mutual Benefit associa-
tion inAtlantic City.
"In both state and national legis-
latures," he continued, "there is a
pressing need for men who will dare
to stand for what they believe to be
right and will do progressive things."
These statements by Mr. Van Or-
mlo are undoubtedly true to a large
e(.ent; as a whole the ;nen in our
legislatures are not the type best
suited for legislative work. But they
are the best type obtainable. In spite
of the fact that the United States is
one of the greatest nations in the
world, our people apparently have
less pride in their government and
less desire to take part in that gov-
ernment than an other people.
The highest type of men usually re-
fuse to accept public office because
they inist that the governmental ma-
chine' %i. entangled in a great po-
li ica . n- or group of nets, and that
prssure applied to those nets has a
greater and more important effect
than anything any individual can do.
Derhaps this is true, but the fact re-
mains .that there are in the public
service some men of the finest, cali-
bre, and, few as these men are in
number, they have done much to bet-
ter conditions. All these men need
to accomplish things is support fromj
other men of their type, more of the
same kind of men in office.
If the people feel as does Mr. Van
Ormon, and there is little doubt but
that many of them- do, there would
be little hesitancy on their part in-
electing this finer type of man to
public office: the type of man who is
not in politics for the sake of politics,
but for the sake of good government;
the type of man who turns to politics
after proving his ability to make a
success of the business of living, and
not as a last resort; the type of man
wlo values public esteem and self-,
respect above gold or power.
Mr. Van Ormon was not very com-
plimentary to -our existing legisla-
tures when he made his statements,
but he was, to a large extent right.
Perhaps some day men will place a
higher valuation on participation in
government, and will have enough
courage to step in where most
"angels" have heretofore feared to
tread.

A Drama of the Sidewalks

The End of the Diagonal
Synopsis: Well, it seems there were
two stores, and in between these two
stores there was a diagonal. Now this
diagonal is really a phoney diagonal,
owing to a nasty curve down in one
end. Fate plays into the hands of
this fella who owns these two stores,
when upon waking up one morning
he discovers that this diagonal runs
slap into both his places. So taking
full advantage of the occasion, he-
makes a crack about being at both
ends of the diagonal walk. This
angers the B. & G boys who contrive
to dig up a plan to straighten the
diagonal, thus castin.g this fella loose
from the nigh end, and at the same
time compromising "The Quarry" to-
ward which the diagonal is now head-
ing. Now go on with the story.
Scene: The Straham home.
Time: Supper (Mr. Straham groans,
enters, groans and collapses upon an
antique Logarithm table with a red
cover, slightly soiled, was $2.15, today,
only $1.40. He has just returned
from both ends of the. diagonal.)
Mrs. Straham: (speechless from
surprise)
Mr. Straham: (do do shock)
Mrs. Straham: What's happened-
ed-ed?
Mr. Straham: (Paling) They have
straightened it....the diag..the diago
....the diagon.... the diagona......
Mrs. Straham: Oh not that !!! not
that!!! don't say that-
Mr. Straham: (softly) Then sup-
pose we let it be the' line OE.
Mrs. Straham: Good heavens.. what
do you mean......?
Mr. Straham: (swallering a Rhet-
oric tablet which he happened to have
on his person) It means......my
dear, it means......ONE END.
E The End**
*Paling- a withe or stout stake
pointed at the top and buried in
the ground to a depth of-feet
What an opportunity for pen, pen-
cil and poison! And it must not be
taken advantage of.
Because, in all seriousness, the
whole situation is profoundly pathetic
and discouraging. Back in New York
a mighty Semite one day chances up-
on a hugely successful musical revue.
A leading Viennese artist designs the
settings with all the stencils of his
famous formula, a gentleman from
tin-pan alley composes the music that
sets the country by the ears for quite
two months, and the actors ace-high
for their beauty and sophistication at
the moment are hired to play the
necessary roles.
After some four seasons of con-I
stantrovations, critical and popular,
the real story begins; three littler
Semites, intent on gathering the drip-
pings from this source of curent
God-head are finally permitted to buy
the production outright. The leadingi
lady in the meantime has undergone.
a sensational disagreement wlih her
manager and is now securely under
the protecting aegis of a rival pro-
ducer, the comedian has entered the
vaster commerce of the moving pic-
ture industry, the ingenue is in Lon-
don, and the statuesque Juno has fled I
to the whirlwind of continental Eu-
rope.
But all the magnificent costumes
are left, the original settings for all
their tatterdemalion are still instact-
by the grace of God-and all the old
gags still come up smiling for each
new weary repetition. A leading lady
is found among these tired peroxide
blondes that still nourish an illusion
of youth, a chorus is gathered from
somewhere, and the artist's model is
replaced bya mother still bravely car-
rying on.
This, then is dispatched to the road,
touring a full year or more until the
company breaks down in Springfield
Missouri. This, then, is your art in
America today!
Even now, however, it is hardly the
end of the gale. By one of those
strange freaks of fortune that infest
the theatre, there is included in the
company a comedian who quite out-
plays the original actor for all his
fame. Iris namve is Powers, he is
splendid and more: he saves the
whole tepid affair; the three little
semites have given value received in
spite of themselves!
* * *
MASQUES
Masques have selected for their
annul major production to be pre-
sented during the second week in
November Sierra's "The Cradle
Song." The play is admirable suited
I to an all-women cast, and was given
two seasons.ago in New York with
considerable success.
There will b a business--meeting
of Masques to discuss the undertak-
ing Thursday afternoon at three
o'clock in Sarah Caswell Angell hall.
Immediately following the meeting
tryouts for the cast will be held, as
well as Friday afternoon at three
o'clock in Sarah Caswell Angell hall.

LADY, BE GOOD!"
A review, by Frederic W. Ziv.
For its spontaneity and dash,
"Lady, Be Good!" is all of a who-
ping good show; with Fred and Adele
Astaire gliding nonchalantly to the
lilting swing of "Lady, Be Good!",
then patting intricately, to the stop
beats of "Fascinating Rhythm," and
finally capering ecstatically to the-
Alpine strains of "Swiss Miss," you
will like them as well as did tuxedo-
ed, night-clubbing New York after
watching their unparalleled revels
every night 'vwhile supping after the
theatre at the Trocadero.
The music is by George Gershwin,
whose "Rhapsody in Blue" made Paul
Whiteman famous-or vice versa---
and was put over with a bang in New
York by Cliff Edwards, better known
to the victrola-winding public as
Ukelele Ike. (It is unfortunate, inci-
dentally, that Edwards is not with the
company on its present road-tour.)
The comedy is furnished by Walter
Catlett, spontaneous and effective; and
the support is by an able cast, who
are in turn supported with excellent
settings by Norman-Bel Geddes
The burlesque is light and English,
the chorus is clever and French (?)
and the voices, conversely, are only
indifferent. But again, the dancing is
fascinating, and every slender girl in
the audience will leave the theatre
trying to be cute and saucy like little
Adele, and the boys will all turn their
ankles dancing like. Fred, the non-
chalant.
In all, "Lady, Be Good!" is a care-
free. easy-going musical comedy with

To the Editor:
I see by The Daily's leading ed-
itorial of this morning that America
entered the World War from purely
altruistic motives and without direct
interest in the outcome. I seem, how-
ever, to recall that quite early in the
war acts of aggression were commit-
ted ;y Germany each of which would
oiainarily be considered a casus
belli and that she was by our Presi-
dent notified that a new offense would
result in her being called strictly to
account. The repetition came many
ioes, but we in the meantime re-
Ambered that we were too proud to
When, as Roosevelt trenchantly
expressed it, we had "drifted into the
war stern foremost," it was already
too late to prevent the utter exhaus-

which are the lot of Europe today.
