The Conscientious Candidate By JAMES J. MONTAGUE V Sitting by himself In a-hotel room I found an old friend of earlier da. a, chewing a toothpick,' and gloomily regarding a cheering crowd outside the open window where a man was standing In an automobile and ad dressing an obviously approving crowd. M I8 that your candidate?” I In quired. “Not any more^ ’ was the surly reply. “I thought you were one of his managers.” “Listen. That lad hasn’t got any managers. I was one, but I ain’t any more, and moreover, I won’t be. I’m. waiting for the next train that will take me back home.” “What was the trouble ?" “It would take more than between now and train time to tell you. That fellow hasn’t got any political brains. I was up all night last week, writing him a speech—the regular speech that used to go big In all the cam paigns I’ve been in. When I showed it to him, he read It, believe it or not, read every line of it, and then he said: “ ’But you’ve made a lot of prom- CREOMULSION ises here that I can't carry out No body could carry them out Don’t you realize that I’d be expected to carry them out if I was electedT “‘Listen, 1 * I said, ‘you’re new In this game, but you’re smart, or any way I think you are, and you can learn.

You’ll have secretary to keep them from bother ing you ‘“What you’ve got to do Is to let us old hands tell you what kind of promises will get votes, gnd then go and make them, and take the bows. You just attend to the. talking— you’re good at that—and we’ll get somebody up from headquarters to hand you the speeches. The ones "What are you going to do about it?" I inquired, as he paused to catch his breath. “Well, the trouble is, we can’t do nothing about it We ain't got noth ing on him like we'have with a good many of the men we nominate^ He ain’t made us no promises, which mebbe was our fault, for we thought he’d be so~ glad to have us tell him what to do that he’d come in askin' for advice every day. “It’s too late to head him off now, and the worst thing about it is, he’s makln’ headway, and maybe will get elected In spite of all we can do to stop him, an’ that’ll be a lot, believe me. “Look at him, out there, tellin’ ’em he won’t make no promises unless he knows he can carry them out, he won’t have no boss directin’ him in the discharge of his duty to the peo ple, an' he thinks the mandate of! ^ Favorite PreKription . No alcol It for granted that he’d be a good boy and do what was right. But we have learned our lesson.

But when he quits* an* we put in another -man, that man is goin’ to be our man, 0 an’ he’s goin’ to admit it in writln’ before he gets his name so much as mentioned In the convention hall.” A sound of loud cheers came through the open window. The old politician grinned. “He’s bad busi ness for us,* he said. “But I can’t help admirin’ his nerve, at that” <£. Bell Syndicate.—WNU Bervlca.

And a terrible mess he’s made of It. “Why, do you know the very next day he told a crowd out In front of the hotel that when he was elected he wanted ’em to come down to the Capitol and tell him If there was anything wrong with the way things was going, and If they had any coin plaints, and so forth. What do you think of that? After he was Elected mind you. He’d listen to ’em after he had the job and didn’t need to listen to ’em.' # “I sat down then and tried to have a serious talk with him, and explain that nobody ever took campaigns se riously, and that he was to leave what happpnpd after hp wan alaefad to older and wiser heads that had grown gray In politics. “He was a little huffy at that, but I thought he could take his medicine, even if it didn’t taste good, and set to work tellin’ him, as I would tell a little child, what It was all about. And what does he do but turn on his heel and walk off! “The next morning I went up to fils room, where he was makln’ a lot of party leaders—poor old boys past fifty—chuck one of them medicine balls at each other just because he liked to get exercise that way., “He was all smiles when, he see me, and chucked the ball at. me, meanln’ to be playful, and it hit me on the ear and hurt. But I. was so pleased to think he’d come around to my way of thinking that I didn’t say anything till the other boys had gone. “Then I said: ‘Well, I see you ain’t mad any more, so I suppose It’s all right.* “‘You suppose what’s all right?* says he. . * -v . • “‘Why, the quarrel between you and me. I knew gjou wouldn’t take that serious.’ “’Nb^he says, T didn’t take it se rious. Here’s another speech I wrote this morning.’ He handed it to me, and I put on my spectacles to read It, and found he’-d said again that when he was elected he was going to be the people’s man, and that the first professional politician who came to him to give’ advice -or offer Instructions would be chucked out of the g^ndow.

Beginning - next July all of the United States and all of Europe will be connected by a maxiraunTair service of 72 hours. That Is less time than It now takes the best steamers to go from New York to Liverpool. Plans are being laid for extending air transportation from our Pacific coast to Hawaii and Aus tralia and soon to Asia. Not long thereafter regular air lines will traverse Asia, just as has been shown to be possible from England to Australia by the recent race, and regular round-the-world mall and passenger service will be In full swing. How soon this will be con summated is uncertain, but as air development is now progressing it is safe to predict a maximum limit of five years, with three and even two years as a possibility. What effect such a dose union of the world by transportation and transmission of Intelligence will have upon universal peace must await developments. Theoretically It should be a strong bond of union between the nations and tepd to ren der them common-minded. That has been the effect of Improved trans portation and more general distribu tion of news and greates personal contacts between residents of differ ent sections of the United States.

But It is possible this Influence will not develop rapidly enough to avert an other great struggle. So far from promoting the psy chology of peace, expansion of air navigation has until now produced the opposite effect Every nation In Europe has had its fears and sus picions magnified by the increased I»osslbilittes of hostile invasion by air. This Is Inevitable so long as mankind continues to cling to the theory that force is the right and dominant Influence in settling inter national differences, and also domes tic differences, as we see in Russia, Germany, Italy and Spain. With such a mental attitude, every in crease In offensive power must add to apprehension and stimulate greater preparation for defense.
