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. n ,irn,,,n nmmm f o u n rr m flT a Ar'HrflgUi i i I 4 I ,, EDITORIAL STAFF Telephone 4925 MANAGING EDITOR GEORGE W.

Editors TEDRLL 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.

PATTERSON 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 t fr rii(gtit land movement in the hisory of the country, is not of th "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.

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. IN' I.

All we need is a good ventriloquist-we'll do the rest.... * * * A Drama of the Sidewalks entitel 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 Irving Warmolt,D SC{ QilWYI1IIO1EI) IST (i N. V1i)eriy Aie.
