The middle west and west are sometimes believed to he lilo»

oral, even radical, in politics because of populism, the

manger

movement, free silver and similar public exprcooionn. Libeiah
learn is defined an inclined to democt’atic Ol‘ republican ideas, pron

grossive, independent. AS ouch, its
practices. are not restricted to any
one, but arose party lines. in the
light of the above definition, can the
west be considered as liberal?

Progresslive public officials; have a
hard time in this region. Illinois had
9. great leader back in the 1890’s,
but Governor Altgcld went down in
defeat While his greatness is at last
recognized in the recent book, ”An
Eagle Forgotten.” lllinois has
changed little since his time in its
disregard of independent govern—
ment olhcials.

J not north is the state of Wiscon-
sin, where the progressive party was
synonymous with good government
and the name of La Follette. The
"Elder Bob,” as governor and sena-
tor, broke the Wisconsin party ma-
chines and fought all his life for
the farmer and the small man. He
died, but the two sona carried on the
traditions of their father. “Young
Boll,” the senator; is one of the tim—
ly great progreasives. His good
works are many, the moot recent of
which Wan the reorganization of the
Senate. But the progressive party
had been weakened by the war and
good times; “Young Bob” was de-
:feated in the republican primary by
a party hack. And so the country

. lost its ablest senator.
Out of Nebraska, as a Republican ’

xebresentative, rocame‘r George W.

”Norrie. For’ 40 years in Congress,

he grew more progresaive and more

«alone in his party. Without pat- _

ronage,” independent Norris” broke
the power of Speaker Joe Cannon,
fought for farm relief and mnch

other sorely needed legislation. But

the “grand old man? of the Senate
was defeated in 1944. by an unknown
candidate, now Senator Wherry.
The reasons for defeat are given
as old age, failure to campaign, etc.
This may ail be true, but also pros-
perity had returned to Nebranha.

There are many/{other examples of
excellent public officials who lost.
To blame the defeat of such men
as a trend away from liberalism is
to assume that the west was. ever
liberal. This is a mistake, as es—

‘sentially populism, free Silver and

the like are protest movements
caused by depressed farm prices,

gins) is; reaponsible for neeing‘ that
his Galatea (Eliza) makes some
good use of that life.

Well, briefly, that is a summary
of the “message” of! the play. lit
sounds a trifle on the heavy side,
doesn’t it? But, if you know Show,
you know that he naints even the
darkest pictures with the lightest
and most sparkling pigments. His
scene in the second not where the
halffinished Eliza is presented to
high society on trial is Witness to
that.

Gertrude Lawrence, whose own
career parallels that of Eliza in that,
she, too, started out in the slums
of London. and hem now risen to be
the toast of the town, given her
role a vivacity, charm and tender-
ness that makes you laugh hardest
just when the waterworks should
be flowing full force.

Well, much for

so Pygmalion.

Now all you have to do in venture
Messrs. Fisher and Gntherie’s faith
in the dignity of the Chicago man
by splitting your sides in laughter
at the Selwyn instant! of at the
Rialto.

etc. The middle west and west are
conaorvotive and isolationist, the
result of a belief in individualism
fostered by the widely Separated
farms and communities. Conven-
iently forgotten are the subsidies
from the Department of Agricol-
tore.

It in only during times of stress
that the went turns liberal and prob
gressive, helping to pass farm re~
lief laws, social security, bank reg-
ulation, securities legislation, and
the rest. But as soon as it feels safe,
and when prosperity has returned,
it gives up the heresy of liberalism
and goes bach to the old ways.

Bill Johnson, leader of the Royal
Garden Cafe band, had sent for Joe,
he immediately set out to steal him
for his own band. Joe, in order not
to disappoint either oi? them, both
of whom were. his; friends, decided
to play in both hands. He played at
the Gardenn until midnight and then
went to the Dreamland whom he
played until the wee hours of the

The system in not some insidious
