MAKING PATRONAGE PAY
Senator George (Dem., Ga.)
Some years ago I was at pains
to find out exactly the number
of postal employes in my State
who had been reported short in
their accounts. The percentage
was alarming, and the condi-
tion is due to but one fact and
that is the exaction made by the
appointee before or at the time
of appointment, and the con-
tinuous exaction thereafter as
long as the appointee remains
in office. The matter is of tre-
mindous importance?

there for the exporting nations to divide— I
more than twice the present total export trade
of both Britain and America put together.
More than half the people of the world
have not yet even started buying. There is
practically no limit to the market if properly
developed. Tho thing for Britain, America
and the other producing nations to do, there-
fore, is to drop all this talk of hijacking each
others' present puny trade and seriously set
about creating a new demand.
Tills can be done by a systematic policy of
boosting the. whole world's standard Of living,
beginning with that of the bottom three-fifths.
And in this, Britain and America should lead

THE "biggest show on earth” comes ambling.
I rather than rushing, into Manhattan about
this season. New York is its rehearsal point.
Its winter hibernating season ended, it comes
out of winter quarters and empties its won-
ders for miles from the view of small boys.
It’s a long trek to the Madison Square Garden
and those peeps the New York gangsters get
are sneaked from the sidewalk, as police shove
them away from the mysterious doorway down
which disappear the wagons and the lumber-
ing elephants. .
Within the Garden, morning after morning,
the "acts" go about their business of being
"limbered up.” A man "In overalls puts a
group of trained dogs thru their paces; an
acrobatic act, fresh from Europe, tries to pick
up'the American customs In circus behavior;
the "glittering galaxy” assembles in a side cor-
ner to prepare for the rehearsal of the bigger-
and-better opening number. The great gar-
dens Spin with a discordant activity. It is,
for the moment, a triumph of the Individual
performers. Soon, under the preparation of
the super-director, who pieces the show to-
gether as a child makes a jig-saw puzzle, they
will all become cogs In the great machine and
begin their mechanical rounds. Soon they will
be clocked and timed and stop-watched until
their acts click off to the harmony of a pre-
scribed routine. Soon they will be off and
away of the road, to bring sleepless nights to
millions of small boys the country oyer.

Spring was a thrilling season then, what
with the circus posters appearing on the
barns, and the first wintergreen berries to be
found In i outlying woods, and a bunch of wild
violets to be taken home as a peace offering
to parents who had long since heard the news
that you had played hookey from the afternoon
session of school; what with frogs beginning
to croak in the ponds and pussy-willows grow-
ing fat along the shores and cat-tails luring
from the ’safety of a marsh; what with the
ransacking of closets for last year's marbles
and the careful shining up of the "glassies”
and "alleys."
New York youngsters, I have so often
noticed, are handicapped even at marbles.
They must play from the safety of street gut-
ters or take chances on being hit by passing
autos; they must seek out tiny earthen spots
in public squares and keep their shooting with-

It was in this year that the
Citizens' Union, a non-partisan
civic organization well known

"Smith showed not the slight-

The New York World spoke
of the so-called unbossed Dem-

A GENTLEMAN reader from Denver takes
H exception to the statement that "Love is
of man's life a thing apart; ’tls woman’s whole
existence.”
Well, I didn’t say it in the first place. I
’learned it at school. It was undoubtedly true
when It was written. It is true now. If we
women were wise enough to' make the first
part of the quotation a truth for us, we might
be a great deal happier.
This Denver correspondent cites an inci-
dent of a devoted, adoring, gift-bearing swain
who was jilted by the lady- of his heart.' Such
things do happen.
But think at the thousands and millions of
girls who have been jilted by gentlemen. A
great many of them later become mothers of
illegitimate babies, too. The deserted man
never has lo worry, about this little item.
He's a pretty lucky dog, no matter how badly
he's treated.
Fate has given him most of the breaks.
He never has to wash dishes after he's six-
teen. He can sit down to dine day after day
and never know what the menu will be. He
can go on a big spree and his friends will put
him to bed and doctor him up and laugh gayly
at his silly talk and think none of the worse
ot him afterwards.
He can keep a cute little lady love right
in the next block and never be put out of the

Adage popularly used but

Hijacking World Trade
QVERY so often the specter of war ‘ with
E England over trade keeps bobbing up.
Says former Supreme Court Justie Cohalan
of New York:
"We are daily taking away English cus-
tomers. And since England must depend on
foreign markets for existence, this means that
vs are driving her to a wall and she must
retaliate for self-protection . . . she is trying
to do that now by organizing world opinion
against us . . . But if she fails to stop us
by diplomacy I think trouble of a more mill-
tant nature is inescapable."
It both Britain and America are to be
governed in the future by second rate states-
men. what former Justice Cohalan says is true.
But not if our leaders can see beyond the
sods of their noses.
It is simon pure bunk to assume that there
is only so much trade in the world and that if
our trade increases Britain's or some other
nations trade must decrease. A good many
statesmen seem to have that idea, it is true, .
but that only shows their limitations.
Two-fifths of the world's population do
almost all the buying. The other three-ftths
consume next to nothing besides home-pro-
duced stuff of the most primitive nature. The
three-fifths are unbelievably ignorant and
poor. What's to hinder Britain, America and
. the other great exporting countries adopting
a brand new policy to build up the purchas-
ing power of these backward peoples? *
Our exports to the British Isles, whose pop-
ulaion is only 4 5,000,000, amounts to about
81.000,000,000 a year. If China, with her
