Newton D. Baker. to insist that the
platform should contain the anti-
Klsn plank prepared by Edmond E.
Moore of Youngstown. ..
This plank would pledge the
Democratic party “to oppose the ac-

similar organization which under-

for their desk and study. They have
no curiosity; they cannot give them-
selves cver to random proVOcatlons;
they do not take pleasure in the ex-
ercise of their faculties for its own
sake: and unless Necessity laws
about them with a stick. they will
not even stand still.
"it. is no good speaking to such
folk; they CANNOT be idle, their
nature is not generous enough: and
they pass those'hours in a sort of
coma. which are not dedicated to

whole breathing world is blank to
them. If they have to wait an hour
or so for the train, they fall into a
stupid trance with their eyes open.

there was nothing to look at and
no one to speak with; you would
