t .Pohttcal Campaigning
One of the great evils of old
fashioned politics, has been'the
system of obligation under
which candidates were forced to
look for assistance to political
workers and heelers who should
canvass around among the people,
and who expected appointment to
some lucrative omce as a reward
for their eflorts. There has
commonly been felt to be some
justice in their claims. If a man
has done energetic work for a
party or candidate for a good
many years, many people have
felt that he establishes a kind of
claim to be considered when the
jobs are being given out.
Yet too frequently the men
who have conferred this obliga-
tion have had no special quali-
fication for their job, and will P
not render eflicient service if
they get some public office. The
great number of men who, get
such appointments as the result
, of political services rather than
’ as a result of their qualifications,
' constitute one big reason why it
costs so much money to run the
federal and state governments.
The more candidates for oflce
can avoid pledging themselves to
help such workers get oifice, the
better government we shall get.
It would promote the public
good in future, if candidates
could depend more upon cam-
paigning through thenewspafiers,
upon the addresses they make at
public meetings, and upon the
friends they win as the result of
frank personal statements of their .
ideas and purposes. When they
campaign in this way, they come .
under obligation to no one.
But when they have to depend
upon the eflorts of a lot of. mar-
cenary rooters who are chasing
around to corral the voters, they
are incurring debts the payment
of which will some day be do.
manded, not always in a way
calculated to promote good gov-
ernment.
It is a fine thing when public
spirited citizens will get out and
work for a good candidate with-
out hope of. personal reward.
But those who perform these
labors with the expectation of
getting somethinl’ in return, con-
stitute one 'of the problems of
democratic government.

_Co ngested Populations
It is rather astonishing, when
a city becomes one of the big
pop ation centers of the coun-
try, ow it seems to grow without
much effort. While many hun-
dreds of the mailer and medium
sized cities are hustling and
boosting to push their population
growth, the great city would
probably grow fast even if it
made no effort to attract new
residents and business.
These big cities have probably
grown too fast for their own or
the country’s good. Yet they
seem to have a lure, and people
put up with tiny and crowded
apartments in order to live in
such places. Big colonies of
foreign residents develop in some,
and live in a congested and un-
healthy way. This tends to cre-
ate groups of people who remain
' distinct from American life and
do not acquire American ideals.
Overcrowding in such centers
must work in many cases against

Nearly all the most popular toys

of human existence. Roman and

models of turnituro. such as tables,
chairs and sets of Jugs. ‘
The young- Greeks annoyed their
parents with tops. both of the hum-
ming and peg variety. In ancient
Egypt boys played ninepins. using
balls of stone and stone pillars for
skittles. Most of the children had:
ware or stone. while the more fortun-
ate gloried in painteo wooden calves
and ‘porcelain elephants. Dulcimers
are mentioned in the Bible. Kites
came from Japan, pogo sticks from
Borneo. chess from Egypt. and drums
and rattles from everywhere. Many
a mother in ancient times kept her
baby quiet by allowing it to rattle a
pebble in a shell. ‘
