the democratic system should wel come French "rule with open arms and rejoice at getting rid of mon archy with its privilege, arrogance and enormous cost for compensa tion. It is clear that in this country the different sections might now be at fierce war with each other except for the sanity of our democratic system of organization which reduces going to war over boundary lines to an ab surdity, and the same course of rea soning shows conclusively that there can be no permanent cure for the present war except by the organiza tion of "The United States of Eu rope." Parker H. Sercombe. A STEDMAN BOOSTER. The words, "Union Men, Attention," and the question of Mr. Lipsitz, "Why not have the presidents of the unions call a convention to select the best union man for mayor," made me sit up and take notice this evening. My answer is because it would not be possible to select a better union man for mayor than the Socialists have already selected Seymour Stedman. I have known him for twenty years. He is honest, brave, and a worker. I do not see why any union man shouldn't vote for him. He is for the working people first, last and all the time. He knows their needs better than the other candidates and will do more for the working men and wom en than all the other candidates to gether. The Socialists and union men can elect Stedman if they want to. George Waterman. TIRED. When I called the atten tion of "Aristocrat" to the request that I deal with the Cuthbert com plaint he said he had forgotten about it, and was too tired to look it up. "You do it, old boy," said he. "You may as well begin to qualify." I late ly 'irihewited a railroad, you kneow, and am twying to be as neafl&e Aristocrat as I can by watchingMilm. I have the leisure and the income, neow, bah Jove, and am working on . the polish. Oh, I see neow, it was about crowds ing street cars. Well, if there & money in the straps, there is more iri the standers.who cannot reach tb straps, which they do not need, to? they hold each other up. Really, this is the latest in co-operation, anq ought to suit socialists. Think hoWj the passengers would bump eachotfft er, only they are in so tight. Aw weally could not think of calling around every evening for the lad think of the scandal; and such chaV ity always pauperizes the recipient, as I heard a man say. Beats all hoy easy it is to take a big income aftes working for a small one so long. ,lt It seems they just make us arjstop crafcs take the money.. It pours n how can we help it? Cwowding Ana cars is only one way. Rents frohji segregated district was anothepf and while that seems to be checked it is easy enough to catch the cdiijj buying in other districts. Itoq't blame us upper class too much. Tly only way we could restore our plun der would be to throw it on, the. walks; but would the right ones gt it? Aristocrat II. , DAY BOOK CONTRIBUTORS am simply amazed by the extraor,di, nary letters you get from men, ariijC maybe women, who are not schoofejqL but are "educated." You have operigp a mine of golden words of mdn wna can't say "In the last analysis," out who can give you the last analysij? with a punch that annihilates JJfft, common garden variety of stupidity For instance, just at hand, W. Jojj-. linske on "Help Advertising"; the Uretz thanks to Rodgers (I misse Rodgers because I was hors du cotf bat in a hospital), and Mr. R.'s "JPte, tal Service," which I intend to an swer and show Mr. R. that the Re publicans are just as rotten In, treaC?' tfigHfittMflidajiiSi
